asciilifeform: uber worx exactly like the 'reliable' wu -- they force chump to register bank acct etc
asciilifeform: one of'em, imho , is 'all those folx driving unofficial cabs, make'em pay tax'
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it's several distinct things
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: usg is on an 'embrace & extend' tack. not simply the pot thing, either -- consider, 'uber', 'airbnb', etc through lens of 'attempts to make unemployed zeks, driven into piecework, to document income & pay tax'
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: lol, rolling cigs is sumthing even gulag inmates had down to an exact science
asciilifeform: possibly they do like the wine people ? (i.e. 'x % of grapes from yr n, x % from n-1, ... ' etc )
asciilifeform: i dun recall precisely what, but iirc it came in pill
asciilifeform: lol if only gabriel_laddel were alive to defend his people!11
asciilifeform: can't say that i follow subj actively; but doesn't pill at least have measurable mass, and you can estimate how much glue and how much $item
asciilifeform: supposing it is possible to use the word in application to doping, seems like the pill folx are 'smarter' -- they at least have a rough idea of how much $subst they're eating
asciilifeform: a trooly ultimate sane replacement could replace both, yes
asciilifeform: as eventual replacement for 'portage' aha
asciilifeform: really, sbcl ( or any other cltron ) oughta boot up by eating a set of keys and a vtree.
asciilifeform: btw phf , i'm starting to think that esthlos-vtron could be turned into a proper replacement for asdf,quicklisp,all the heathen rubbish packagerisms
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: btw for completeness strictly, note that there exists a ~third~ crc32 : division normally, but optionally generates table and then continues with table
asciilifeform: just when i think 'no moar shitoshi surprises possible', i turn up yet another.
asciilifeform: in unrelated noose, mod6 et al : loox like trb doesn't remove banned peers from its addr table ! i.e. offers their addrs up to others, as if they were proper noades!! i never noticed this previously, it had to wait to be found empirically. really oughta be fixed, and pretty simple patch.☟︎☟︎
asciilifeform: haven't found yet a clear answer re what my particular isp's wan frame size is, however. ( and i expect that it will be peculiar to the given isp's gear , and may not apply across the board )
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-15#1862750 << i ought expand, since ave1 asked : my measurement is indirect, and is possible that could be wrong. what i did was to look for latency variance ( if my optical terminal knew how to send variant frames, shorter packets oughta move faster ) -- but found none, to the resolution of my clock.☝︎
asciilifeform: lemme guess, slycordinator , this is yer first linux box ?
asciilifeform: slycordinator: the only 'driver' is the ehci thing , i rolled it into the example kernel, it'll work with any mass storage item plugged into the jack
asciilifeform: thing will boot off whatever's plugged in
asciilifeform: this doesn't require any changes to the published example
asciilifeform: often enuff will end up with ~same txt
asciilifeform: right. and the actual extent of rewritism is not necessarily visible to thirdparty, it is b/w the rewriter and odin, really
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: no 'originality' contemplated, referring to simple act of using empty page. y'know, like in '80s when keying in gamez from mk61 b00k
asciilifeform: ( when i rewrite , i actually start with empty buffer, but that could be just me )
asciilifeform: possibly puzzled re what counts as 'rewrite' tho
asciilifeform: funnily enuff , i have 2L bottles of both water and kerosene, dun rely on purely size to distinguish. but mircea_popescu can write his proggy however he wants.
asciilifeform: phf: essence of hypothesis, is that the ~actual~ bitcoin network looks nothing at all like what 'nodes.io' or other heathen scamola, try to pass off
