mircea_popescu: forget "hearts and minds", that's the telltale preoccupation of a dying empire. concern yourself with the ground under their very feet and let them figure it out.

mircea_popescu: to tell me that range is included in the item is nonsense of the first degree.
mircea_popescu: decimation: it is because of the dynamic range allowed in a single blob <<< this is nonsense. the "range" is not intrinsic to the blob. the blob will only hold as much as it physicall can. what its concents mean to you, is entirely up to you
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: if you had a truly clean break with the age of turdware - there would be a market for about six machines. << this is diletante business analysis. you really only need one, provided it works. look into the early history of ford cars.
mircea_popescu: this is a major cause of the foss taking so very long to be killed.
mircea_popescu: he just woke up to the concept of "never do something stupid, no matter how much you "gotta" "
mircea_popescu: but unlike the other fucktards involved, he didn't go away into the night, and his efforts are at the root of why we even pose a problem to the usg today in the first place.
mircea_popescu: and if your project is long term... well there you go.
mircea_popescu: in general, not doing something stupid "you got to do" is better on the long term than doing it.
mircea_popescu: rms's tortured existence is proof as to their uneven strength : neglecting the "gotta" works better than baking it in.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: then squadron with stone megacock can feel victorious, vindicated. << methinks this view is a little too convenient.
mircea_popescu: chetty was this before or after they started paying terrorists for the safe return of deserters ?
mircea_popescu: because it's obviously not military SERVICE. it's MILITARY service. killing people.
mircea_popescu: you gotta kill some people. avenue A is like so, avenue B is like so... hmm... well ok, let's go with B
mircea_popescu: decimation: usg is the unintentional beneficiary of a great deal of "I want to make a difference" altruism << so no, it's not altruism. unrelated to that, there's a lot of "usg is the only obvious recipient for a bunch of faking of the <i want to not have sex but for everyone in school to think i do> sort."
mircea_popescu: ownership is a convention, meaningless outside the convenants.
mircea_popescu: who claims to own it... whatever, im sure the fish acting as host for whatever parasite's obligate fish phase are "owned" by someone, at least according to them.
mircea_popescu: military service of some sort or another is a required stage in male maturation.
mircea_popescu: in spite of there being numerous posters in full view saying "by traipsing around here you agree to blablabla"
mircea_popescu: decimation: what I find inexplicable is that you find folks in the us who absolutely hate everything about usg policies, in terms of how it mismanages wealth, fails to jail criminals, etc, and yet are willing to serve the military side <<< similarly, the wild animals that hate everything about the government will still traipse around on "government property"
mircea_popescu: "the Russians are from three to five years ahead of the US in the field of atomic aircraft engines and they will move even further ahead unless the US pressed forward with its own program"

mircea_popescu: anyway, ru version of ed reads like mostly adult male, as opposed to mostly preteen female.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i am notorious for taking more than one pass through the material to grok it, more than one set of lips on the tool to spill it etc.
mircea_popescu: ou don't read trilema or any other venue where people who know more than you are likely to call you and your friends idiots.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: lol that turd reads like it was a 'mad libs' product << three steps to take to avoid making any sort of meaningful change : a) stick to obama & the libertard's mickey mouse version of "change" ; b) pretend like disaster is unlikely and so the possibility can be safely ignored while it's not happened yet ; pretend it's "overwhelming" as so best ignored as it happens and shortly thereafter ; c) make sure y
mircea_popescu: "that's where the limit on interaction debit first became apparent"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: as far as anyone can tell - equal to 'c' <<< the idea being that "the speed of light" is not "of light" in any sense other than the champagne is champagne
mircea_popescu: ;;later tell MolokoDesk anyway, the ideal here is to have everything in order to i can put the various sept reports on it.
mircea_popescu: why am i even reading this crap, jpg "signatures" and no comment section for crying out loud.
mircea_popescu: "If the country can continue operating as smoothly as it does for another year, I'll be surprised." << you can tell casey research his bet is on.

mircea_popescu: "Каждая вундервафля выглядит так, что Юнг и Фрейд, обнявшись, заплакали бы от радости." lol not bad
mircea_popescu: MolokoDesk nah i don't think it's all that desirable. ideally no dependencies etc.
mircea_popescu: dignork it also happens to be the correct way to handle this. the "wallet" nonsense still boggles my mind.
mircea_popescu: the txid instead of block height ; the queing of gribble requests
mircea_popescu: MolokoDesk these freakishly fast blocks happen a lot actually.
mircea_popescu: so if anyone knows anything about growing cactuses, get back to me. i got a tiny something, which i believe is armatocereus godingianus. he seems happy enough and is growing, but the shoots are all spindly. ie, the base like 6 strands each an inch thick, each shot this inch long, 1/8th of an inch wide things.
mircea_popescu: MolokoDesk ok. if gribble can grant deedBot unlimited requests thats the solution. << that's not the solution yet. it wil be the solution once we process a lot of volume. atm the soluition is to queue.
mircea_popescu: MolokoDesk can always jus get an exception ; always a great idea to only ask for exceptions when you need them
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla some people like to work, unlike slovens :D
mircea_popescu: in general the 60 minutes of a block would currently take a maximum of 720 deeds at that rate. unless we're actually processing 500...
mircea_popescu: i can appeal it but i'd rather not if it's not absolutely necessary.
