mircea_popescu: google does all sorts of "useful" things, basically trying to copy the tmsr model. they have a "google fonts" thing half the sites on the internet link (and in the process, give usg details on the zeks whereabouts every so often) ; they have a "code repository" about a quarter the sites on the internet link (this is instrumental in the multi-mb liquid shit webpage era -- 0 cost liquid shit provided by usg's own alphabet. they
mircea_popescu: oh and in re http://btcbase.org/log/2018-06-25#1829543 i am pleased to announce s.mg is ripping out googletest infrastructure. good fucking riddance, evil imbeciles. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: "
mircea_popescu: aaand in other lulz, "if (int16 (CS::Threading::AtomicOperations::Decrement (&typeAndRefCount) & 0xffff) <= 0)
mircea_popescu: whole new sorta eggog.
mircea_popescu: ima totally call that fucktard joni malkovich from now on.
mircea_popescu: terribad ; but to add idiocy to idiocy, they use и instead of N because won't thart be authentic. so you end up with "JOHИ" derpopovich.
mircea_popescu: and in other holy shit pantsuitidiocy, the world of wankfic historical rewrites doesn't begin or end with tarantino's "inglorious basterds" imbecility. there's also something called "in tranzit", with the malkovitch moron. about how women can be like, persons and things, dontcha know, even in 1946.
mircea_popescu: at least you get to come.
mircea_popescu: what can you do.
mircea_popescu: fortunately, it was yet small.
mircea_popescu: yeah, the downmovement caught you overcapitalized/underequipped did it.
mircea_popescu: and they also implement the latest european commision directive or w/e they call the bullshit in-game.
mircea_popescu: there's about 500 billion fiat-like isps. you can probably buy euro-denominated bonds fron hetzner or ovh or w/e as it is.
mircea_popescu: so is the idea your contribution sums up to "i don't know how to organize sales and why don't we do more fiat things" ?
mircea_popescu: well, after having some sort of flow large enough to be statistically meaningful, yes.
mircea_popescu: a/b testing, a whole spiel.
mircea_popescu: traditionally there's a landing page involved.
mircea_popescu: does the thing have salespeople / funnel up yet ? ☟︎
mircea_popescu: huh ?
mircea_popescu: myeah
mircea_popescu: is this the "industrial silocone butt injection" ?
mircea_popescu: (contrary to common sense, these are pestilentially common in the us)
mircea_popescu: oh oh right.
mircea_popescu: i mean, i could also start a medicine w/o a license sideline for the same money.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes well yes, you happen be raising children in a jurisdiction which has decided "issue fiat bonds" is a crown monolpoly.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-06-26#1829604 << wait what script ?! ☝︎
mircea_popescu: meanwhile in the ongoin glulz, Biology-Babe 19F sub "I may be submissive by kink, but I am an strong independent women." LordMPofTMSR "Everyone thinks so." Biology-Babe "Jesus Christ. Fucking respect me you misogynistic douche" LordMPofTMSR "Nah." ☟︎
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes you mean, besides it being illegal ?
mircea_popescu: once my seething rage piped down it occured to me that "dood, what you're almost entirely about is a rejection of the lamenormal. why are you wondering that consummate normalcy gets you pissed off and why are you surprised it produces itself ?!" ☟︎
mircea_popescu: iphone os 11_3 ok, you got it, crapple.
mircea_popescu: lessee
mircea_popescu: besides, i betcha she's on some droid thing, rather than apple specifically. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: they're not nearly as good at anything else.
mircea_popescu: but how can they be this good at that ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform precisely. how the fuck is this possible, if they worked at winning a war they'd lose, but when they don't work at sticking in my craw they manage.
mircea_popescu: how is this outcome even possible.
mircea_popescu: ten thousand people managed to coordinate to produce something that's 40% blue and 85% interesting and 62% warm and 92% square and 100.00% FUCKING ANNOYING.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform but my question is, HOW ? the iphone is not as watertight, not as long-lived, not as bright, colorful, not as ANYTHING as it is fucking annoying.
mircea_popescu: somehow some idiots produced "smartphones" for which some other idiots "wrote software" which other idiots are using, and the end delivery is THIS
mircea_popescu: how, just HOW did this entire tower of chair work out to the maximal annoyance point ? absolutely NOTHING the esltards do is nearly this good at any purpose they ever declare.
mircea_popescu: ~at which point~ the whole flood starts. not earlier, or anything.
mircea_popescu: so this is going pretty good so far, yes ?
mircea_popescu: so here's some wonderment for today : random fetlife slut follows a webirc link (doh, what, irc exists ?!?!?!) and ends up here, at 14:58. sits here quietly, and patiently, until at 15:05 i say something. that's SEVEN WHOLE MINUTES. this alone, you know ? and then, puts another FOUR solid minutes in wtfing this thing, so that at 15:09 she can <kiyleeslut> Found it :).
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform we'll also need a little bit of code to handle it and i guess a special dolly yes ?
mircea_popescu: o brother.
mircea_popescu: something like that interesting to nsa ?
mircea_popescu: s.mg would be amenable to a deal whereby s.nsa puts a custom built npc in eulora and handles exchanges of euloran microchips for its own products (atm, fg)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform incidentally!
mircea_popescu: kiyleeslut rittle led tab on the right of this one
mircea_popescu: anyway, the "how to cut" piece is the controlling element here, because i don't even recall if we came up wioth a definitive answer.
mircea_popescu: but my point is -- by the time this iron actually signs, this iron actually also manages signatures, and therefore this iron actually is a rsatron.
mircea_popescu: http://trilema.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/in-re-bitcoin-devs-are-idiots.htm for the historically minded.
mircea_popescu: reheheheally ?! look at that damned thing sometime. it's encrypted like i'm gay.
mircea_popescu: "but mp, that's what you told them to make the wallet, and they did, back in 2012 or w/e"
mircea_popescu: come to think of it, why am i even having "a wallet", as opposed to say a rsa'd privkey list. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform but what it needs dun matter; thing is... what do you need ?
mircea_popescu: last fucking thing i need is a pile of briefcases, each painted red, and labeled. "this one -- does hashing."
mircea_popescu: and if you're making your dolphin 100kgs, why are you making it a sea anemone, could just as well make it dolphin.
mircea_popescu: there's no half inch dolphin either, and for a reason as well.
mircea_popescu: fg is large enough to make this "hardware wallet" not a credit card.
mircea_popescu: if using proper terminal why is it not rsatron ?
mircea_popescu: am i going to have rng ? how small can it then be ? if not small, and rng, why is it not using a proper terminal ?
mircea_popescu: am i going to have no rng in this wallet ? how make change address then ?
mircea_popescu: problem is my thinking moved away from "hardware wallet" because, honestly, what's needed is a hardware computer.
mircea_popescu: you know what, thios might've been private discussions in nsa boardroom during early cardano mockups etc ?
mircea_popescu: from ~the same period. but yes, there was some discussion, hm
mircea_popescu: there's also http://trilema.com/2016/the-ideal-bitcoin-wallet/
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you don't mean http://trilema.com/2016/how-to-cut-the-wallet/ do you ?
mircea_popescu: i recall a very early item, i don't expect much value buried there but lessee
mircea_popescu: lol
mircea_popescu: fine!!!1
mircea_popescu: point being, "blind" v could exist that just puts in the patches as seen in manifest, checks no sigs.
mircea_popescu: or w/e they called the pseudonodes, i forget.
mircea_popescu: basically, we just introduced the possibility of "light nodes" :D
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-06-26#1829715 << nah, trb is the bulkiest and most dangerous item on the table, it utterly can't be the exemplar at this early stage. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-06-26#1829714 << this is a significant gain, in that it reduces the need for elaborate toposorting. first, check the manifest chain. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform in further lulz : it's classified under... LUMBER ☟︎
mircea_popescu: ON BOTH SCORES
mircea_popescu: lol word.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform so far, nobody knows.
mircea_popescu: not even kidding (and only took like 3+years to find)
mircea_popescu: it's a cr50!
mircea_popescu: in other events : a new resource type just got discovered in eulora
mircea_popescu: yeah.
mircea_popescu: supplanting ye olde "use special signatures", which i gather was bulky
mircea_popescu: and gives a cheap "experimental tree" device.
mircea_popescu: through usage, basically. you see a problem with that ?
mircea_popescu: true.

mircea_popescu: ^
mircea_popescu: oh, i do.
mircea_popescu: but ~once~, not for lack of activity.
mircea_popescu: once it becomes a pita regrind.
mircea_popescu: trinque which is why the regrind mechanism even exists
mircea_popescu: this is the core of V, yes ?
mircea_popescu: but if you do not include it, it's not there.
mircea_popescu: if you find the manifest patrch is useful (as you do), YOU INCLUDE IT.
