mircea_popescu: “To have a nation, you must have people and you must have young people to be able to drive the economy and young people buy the products — all these gadgets and fine dining — and if you don’t have that, and you refuse migrants as the Japanese do, you will just dissolve into nothingness! I think before that comes, they may change (their) policy.” << a country which doesn't have enough gullible fools is not use
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform and how can he ?
mircea_popescu: merely it's unacceptability to me.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform merely the fact that i reject the message doesn't say nanything about its validity.
mircea_popescu: as women started giving a fuck, fertility melted away.
mircea_popescu: the core reason for it is that the species must perpetuate. this hinges on women not really giving a fuck.
mircea_popescu: also, people not giving a fuck is a major technical proble,
mircea_popescu: if presented with traffic from alleged key, i expect it to be signed by keys i already accepted.
mircea_popescu: decimation ^
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform gpg has built in key signing for this reason.
mircea_popescu: nubbins`> just doing up the books for july, seems we have a mystery cash surplus of $666 << you have been clearly blessed. now if the lady's late...
mircea_popescu: "but parents don't want to share the ideology xD" <=> "i'm happy with it but i can't get my parents to use it themselves" ?
mircea_popescu: homebrew crypto is often dangerous.
mircea_popescu: DreadKnight also see http://trilema.com/2012/romanian-dicelist/
mircea_popescu: !up lordbunson
mircea_popescu: well then. bruteforced shit pws aren't a hack.
mircea_popescu: or that.
mircea_popescu: wordpress is fine, i've used it for > 5 years without issue.
mircea_popescu: DreadKnight got a blog ?
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller way it goes.
mircea_popescu: DreadKnight you're prolly not gonna be happy or even willing to hear this, but it sounds like the problem is you.
mircea_popescu: ;;google "hello suckers"
mircea_popescu: decimation the funny thing about the incident is that everyone happily ignored the "your business part" and took it as gospel. "the importance of brand over quality"
mircea_popescu: merely a random thought
mircea_popescu: decimation in no sense.
mircea_popescu: btw, anyone knows the famous case of gerald ratner ?
mircea_popescu: the thing is... the country can't pay anyway, so there's not much pork to be had out of "we need better new planes"
mircea_popescu: if it were 1980s the republicans would have been all in favour, because nothing's better for public contracts than a humiliating, public defeat.
mircea_popescu: a no fly zone would allow the russian airforce to showcase it's unmatched superiority by making short work of everything else.
mircea_popescu: no it wouldn't.
mircea_popescu: decimation that's not happening.
mircea_popescu: it seems improbable russia shot down the thing.
mircea_popescu: no rebel ever lost anything through causing trouble.
mircea_popescu: i think naggum was it had a rant on the topic.
mircea_popescu: DreadKnight there's a reason pros use particular tools rather than any other tools.
mircea_popescu: nfi.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform traffic should resemble people exchanging gpg messages maybe ?
mircea_popescu: anyway, gonna have some cake, bbl.
mircea_popescu: in principle one shouldn't be able to spot a b2.0 node on the network.
mircea_popescu: also, need much better hidding of the traffix it generates.
mircea_popescu: anyway the hash daisychanin satoshi used was moar like a joke than srs.
mircea_popescu: modularity is teh win
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform one can use w/e key he wants.
mircea_popescu: sort-of where i was seeing the "b-a public registrar" project that nobody wants to do going, in step 2.
mircea_popescu: as long as your address is known, you're g2g.
mircea_popescu: suppose that anyone can generate txn using gpg, much like mpex works.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform that's a bad idea. baking in gpg however would be splendid.
mircea_popescu: yes indeed, there's at least two items for the bitcoin v2.0 : the wol pow detailed above and the p-airthm balance
mircea_popescu: that is a good part yes.
mircea_popescu: but why.
mircea_popescu: honestly i don't think i actualy understand what i want re chaining
mircea_popescu: one of the most important vulnerabilities extant in bitcoin as is.
mircea_popescu: checkpointing is evil tho.
mircea_popescu: a way to make retaining blocks spurious.
mircea_popescu: ie, either you make waseful asics or else you keep changing them every 200k blocks
mircea_popescu: in particular because of the block increase
mircea_popescu: obviously anything that can be made can be made in silicon
mircea_popescu: this still needs better chaining than what bitcoin's doing.
mircea_popescu: i actually kinda want this built, if there's any hardcore c programmer looking for a major project.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i dont wanna weasel out of inflating block size i dont think
mircea_popescu: ie, make it 4576957698475 generations if need be
mircea_popescu: and of course the 32 can be adjusted as "difficulty"
mircea_popescu: and implicitly the size of the block.
mircea_popescu: except you don't have reward, you just increase 4fold the size of the field.
mircea_popescu: suppose you double this every 200k blocks, much like how bitcoin halves reward.
mircea_popescu: now, imbit = 128kb, which should be enough for the blocks originally.
mircea_popescu: would you say this is an acceptable implementation ?
mircea_popescu: suppose pow is, "find a 1mbit value which xored with your block results in a wol-like table which playing for 32 generations results in a table identical to the table of the block as is"
mircea_popescu: but anyway, forget the bitter me. let's refine your automata idea a little.
mircea_popescu: according to X.
mircea_popescu: well they don't do it. they do something that's "just as good".
mircea_popescu: the shit can never get old. "here's what i want, here's what's to be done, here's me not doing it". how would this ever get old.
mircea_popescu: !up guest8653
mircea_popescu: !up Guest52945
mircea_popescu: now... what part of "the people are more stupid than can be put into words" needs putting into words ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform let's laugh together. on one hand it's you saying that, one minute under some derp going in the bitbet comments section to say that since ThickAsThieves posted something here about a topic of interest, and magicaltux also hung out on irc, it follows that bitbet is bad.
mircea_popescu: "Vertcoin has always been and will continue to be the leader in decentralization of cryptocurrency."
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform how could it ?
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla http://bitbet.us/bet/951/silk-road-coin-auction-extravaganza/#c3560 now you';ve done it.
mircea_popescu: !up prototype
mircea_popescu: battletoads << no, never have.
mircea_popescu: if the final state of the game flows deterministically from the state at any point, there's nothing for a human to do.
mircea_popescu: DreadKnight no. consider the supermodel of all player strategy games, btc.waroflife.com/
mircea_popescu: DreadKnight i don't like the "learn this succession of small movements" part.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform but the explanation is i nthe log, which part didn;'t make sense ?
mircea_popescu: 'd prolly take a 3rd world programmer job.
mircea_popescu: if i wanted to spend my time doing that sort of shit i
mircea_popescu: DreadKnight i play lots of things to try them out. i quit because i can't stand the model. too much like [lowly paid] work.
mircea_popescu: "traffic" is becoming less and less meaningful
mircea_popescu: so today alone 143 different .ru domains supposedly sent people to trilema.
mircea_popescu: hot lezzie sexes.
mircea_popescu: cazalla no you're missing out.
mircea_popescu: !s alienware
mircea_popescu: DreadKnight methinks you're showing teenage girls the wrong things.
mircea_popescu: Heroes of Newerth it was.
