mircea_popescu: sure, i don't mean "title to sue" i mean title
as in property
mircea_popescu: anyway. there is no such thing
as "actual rights" here, nor even
as much
as title. nobody has title to any cryptocurrency.
interviewee: ok, perhaps i am
as naive
as shinohai suggests, but where's the claim against MIT?
mircea_popescu: ~anyone holding
as much
as a farthing "worth" of ethereum presently has overhead the possible claim here discussed, with its treble damages and whatnot.
shinohai: i was just curious
as to the legal standing of the dao from US perspective
interviewee: whcih of course was ambigiuous
as to its ownership for a while- so it was unclear what "disclaimers" actually came from "TheDao"
interviewee: you have the comments in the actual .sol files
as to warranties and incorp. of the gnu license
interviewee:
as to your q, TheDao was evidently premised
as code = law
mircea_popescu: you're dicking around on tardstalk etc anyway, might
as fucking well sit down and write something that'll be useful later.
mircea_popescu: i thought he didn't like it ; worked about
as well
as any os he ever used, any software package ; any box of breakfast cereal etc.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile i bought "industria argentina" male underwear which, while spoiling the same amount of cotton
as a normal pair ; nevertheless HAS NO RUBBER BAND.
mircea_popescu: but he ISNT one. he's an orc masquerading
as one, and at the first touch the masquerade crumbles.
mircea_popescu: apparently they take what you say
as an inverses signal.
thestringpuller: I told someone this mornign
as they walked in "Do not huff any ether no matter how compelling"
☟︎ mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-21#1508507 << the problem with americans, by which we denote obscure people from the colonies with no history or identity of their own, is that if something becomes desirable they'll just copy it. "
as best they can", "with locally sourced items". hence the mormon shredding of the hebrew texts and jordan pearson.
☝︎ mircea_popescu: anyway - from what i see old cli zip does take the (correct sized, 32kb) file and spit it out
as a single file of binary crap, instead of
as a directory of 3 files of which one a html and two jpgs
mircea_popescu: basically looks like some versions of zip fuck up the directory structure, extract it
as a flat file.

http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-21#1508246 << lulzy: 'The deadlock between competing corners of the Bitcoin community when it comes to hard forking, in contrast, spells doom for the currency, according to Tual. “
As long
as that’s true, Bitcoin will never evolve, and it will die, because what doesn't evolve dies.”' << 'we've failed to stick in the proboscis and so let's declare it dead, neverhappened'
danielpbarron: i'd also like to know, but if i had to guess, it looks like a cave that is located under a body of water that is draining into it from above,
as seen from within the cave
mircea_popescu is smoking the "fuck you, you have no rights, engineer is not a person" blend, of the same exact make
as seen in debate over "oh but proper V hurts mah self-importance of codrwriter"
mircea_popescu: yes. deliberately. this is
as much an "exploit"
as stealing electricity from the pole is "fighting the man".
a111: Logged on 2016-07-21 15:37 mircea_popescu: phf most people who spent
as much
as i have with computers a) wear glasses b) have various complicated nerve and tendon damage, esp wrist, elbow etc.
mircea_popescu: but in fairness, i would say i rely on a very specific sort of literacy. i have people do things for me! you lot, all of you, are the modern equivalent of a barony that is neverthelss being run by the ox-baron personally, by hand. because in the future we have this strange species of ox-man that "can". of sorts, really, only 80% of the can, but hey, who cares about broken fingers and other appednages
as a result. HEAR THE OXM

☟︎ mircea_popescu: "clicked traffic"
as the thing is called in the [porn] biz being about 500k to the bitcoin last i looked, sometime last year. meaning the entire yearly value of the global "online advertising" market is equivalent to a few bitcoin blocks, meaning in turn that a choice to occupy yourself with that thing is equivalent to a deliberate choice not to matter. nttawwt.
mircea_popescu: there's actually a lot of valuable data re eeuropean "advertising market" there
as a result of me running a large intel project on the topic at the time.
ben_vulpes: galls me on some level to think about a hash, which i concieve of
as an integer,
as a byte array or a set of chars.
ben_vulpes: CHAR[] didn't make much sense to me, because a hash isn't instrinsically a set of characters, except insofar
as a byte array can be seen
as a set of characters, but which characters...
ben_vulpes: phf: i know, i meant 'integer' in the abstract, with numeric
as the concrete implementation that i'd use.
ben_vulpes: "documentation. you know.
as what readthedocs is generated from."
phf: ben_vulpes: well, binary types are unrelated to the issue though. binary types you declare your struct, you still want to decide yourself what goes in the struct. treating hashes
as numbers makes sense if you're going full lisp, i.e. you're actually going to do math with those numbers (which is at the end of the day their whole purpose), unless it's not actually a hash but a bit mask or a xor'd something or other
phf: ben_vulpes: if you're talking lisp, there's no reason not to store those values
as numbers
ben_vulpes: that's not nearly southern women
as it is "women who live in suburbia in the south of usgistan"
ben_vulpes: tooootally tangentially and not at all related to anything else, would there be any reason to store merkleroots, block/txn hashes
as integers vs byte arrays?
pete_dushenski: it just... isn't the culture here. pickings are slim
as shit.
mircea_popescu: and no, it's not autism, they're hatching the cornel derp
as "expert" for teh future.
trinque: teh parallel with "look at the data!!" from earlier vs "UI"
as styled high-level API
mircea_popescu: it's the fundamental reason "correspondence" even exists
as a thing in science.
mircea_popescu: what i said was that a) ultimately all data is in point of fact data, and unless you're fucking around you will wish to look at the data ; b) that "Saving time" is only useful to people in a hurry ; and people thinking are seldomly in a hurry. rather than play with a desk weight while i try to comprehend x item, i might
as well longhand its structure.
mircea_popescu: maybe i'm using that
as a thinking support. which i usually am.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform and yes but it drives stupidity such
as chomsky's rank nonsense about "what is gramatical". if you recall that recently linked essay.
mircea_popescu: how do i humorously say "male whore"
as in, "curv", which is the never-seen but PERFECTLY GRAMMATICAL masculine of curva, whore ?
mircea_popescu: trinque the thing is that you're perfectly allowed to use your own, consistent definitions, even if they may contradict "the common sense" ; provided that a) they are consistent ~and stable enough so
as not to change by context~ and b) you're capable of expliciting them on request and this will not contradict previous construction. ie - you may have any graph you wish (chiefly because anyone does anyway, "community consensus"
trinque: there's a pragmatic distinction here between "this is a statement of holy truth" and "this shovel is currently doubling
as guillotine in a pinch"
mircea_popescu: well no, but your assumption that you making a general statement will be taken
as made rather than modified ad-hoc is not only unwarranted, but actually contrary to your declared preference.
mircea_popescu: for
as long
as this "music library" thing was a thing, winamp was the thing for it.
phf: perhaps they don't see it
as an existential threat
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform eh what do i care what they do. the idea here is "o look, a scamcoin nobody holds managed to hardfork. this is about
as relevant to bitcoin
as guy soiling his pants and then washing them in the sink. I AM ROVER GER AND I THINK ITS TIME FOR BITCOIN TO! "
thestringpuller: nope. it was all staged to act
as fud to get Bitcoin to hardfork while creating FED-chain.
thestringpuller: asciilifeform: i don't like posting reddit links
as not to infect the channel
mircea_popescu: fuck that stupid ass google auto-search
as you type idiocty
mircea_popescu: i want to have alphabetic notation. such
as : graph-this-so-and-so,1,1,4,this.csv
a111: Logged on 2016-07-20 12:23 mircea_popescu: every computer (well, except for windows and apple i guess ? but they're not computers) has a repl built in
as some sort of bash. in most cases you also have both perl and python out of the box. how could it possibly be faster to first upload a chunk of data to some webserver somewhere ?
