mircea_popescu: asciilifeform would you say a man is a communist who goes to the casino every weekend and plays either blackjack or roulette
as he feels like it that day, because really, the house edge is not the same ?
mircea_popescu: seems to me that if you have nine girls and one penis, fucking each ~weekly is not in any sense communism, but just
as you say, good ol' agreement & conjugal peace.
mircea_popescu: bitcoin addresses aren't acceptable proof of identity (such
as for instance through that "signing" kludge) specifically for this reason.
PeterL: not expecting help, just completely lost
as to where your question connects to mine?
mircea_popescu: if you are going to make other determinations than who won a bet, might
as well put a 50% tax on the richest 10% or w/e the french fashion is these days.
solrodar: danielpbarron: But you evidently apply the same principle to fiat bank accounts
as well. Anything else? Your dog has just jumped in my window, is it my dog now?
mircea_popescu: so yes, i can appreciate the sentiment, infantile such
as it is. guy means well, i'm sure. but in point of fact he is so far removed from relevancy in any conceivable approach to the issues, that there's really very little to be said.
nubbins`: "GPG signed contracts are no good if they can't be enforced." actually they've fulfilled their purpose precisely
as intended here
danielpbarron: why should anyone send coin back?
as far
as they should be concerned the extra payment had nothing to do with bitbet
gribble: About
as likely
as pigs flying.
diametric: about the same
as walking around a major city i imagine.
trinque: mrottenkolber: consider that
as specified the total source code involved in a vtron can *decrease* drastically from here.
mod6: well, i guess i can appreciate that. i was simply going to write a V in Ada
as a way to learn Ada.
mrottenkolber: Which is probably less cryptographically “secure”
as sha1 (wild guess)
mrottenkolber: So I learned today that git does't use sha1
as I thought, but its own git-hash-object
mircea_popescu: incidentally : the ancient myths of "person-in-construction" have a practical backing in the roman practice of using fat and sometimes blood
as a plasticizer in concrete.
gernika: aparently also uses random items such
as various tupperware containers.
ben_vulpes: and only if used
as a hammer and not microscope.
mircea_popescu: well alternatively one could also shit on exposed cable and let the bits sort themselves into software
as they will
ben_vulpes: perhaps the *other* way to go about this is simply to make patches against the base 0.5.3, and then anyone wanting to apply them may do so in whatever order they choose, resolving conflicts
as they feel.
phf: mechanism has nothing to do with "mercurial"
as such, and is more akin to old school patch management system, "quilt"
assbot: Logged on 22-03-2016 20:49:10; mircea_popescu: if someone,
as oft is the case for say mod6, is trying to make the whole pile of what was said abvout X, they encounter a very present difficulty.

☟︎ phf: we're an anarcho-syndicalist commune. we take it in turns to act
as a sort of executive officer for the week.
mircea_popescu: well if you're curious, free money is the basis for the existence of the republic which is the reason stuff like v ended up existing. but i suppose from outside this string of actual events may
as well be coincidental.
phf: mrottenkolber: a better place to wire v would be mercurial's mq facility. mercurial has a way of managing plaintext patchsets, to do things like patch refresh, i.e update the contents of patch from the current tree state, mercurial managed patch press, i.e. instead of doing "manual" v press hg will keep track of state for you, etc. this will not be a way to share patches,
as much
as a way to facilitate vpatch authoring.
mrottenkolber: My point is the toposort isn't really part of the problem v solves. The function is to cryptographically verfiy a sequence of patches (based on a wot), who cares where that sequence comes from,
as long
as each patch (commit) has a signature.
assbot: Logged on 22-03-2016 00:16:30; asciilifeform: (the real question is why usg would ever admit to it - whole point of the charade was to build precedent-setting verdict. i suppose this outcome became in doubt, and whole thing was brought to what is intended
as a quiet burial ?)
mod6: right, they said something about C/C++/et.al that have a loop construct such
as 'do/while' 'for' 'foreach' etc,
as a defect in the lang. lol
phf: asciilifeform: etsy
as failed woman minimax, sort of the opposite of theorems
phf: asciilifeform: nah, was actual blog, i started reading it when it had coherent topical posts, but studying their history, it started
as snippets and gradually acquired features. like early posts were straight up logs, later names were stripped and only text from "posters" retained, etc.
trinque: I'm nearly done with my deedbot- rewrite; I could add this
as well. deed the list of tags per $interval or something
hanbot:
http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=21-03-2016#1437059 << that sounds like the most sane solution on tap for efficiency & accuracy both. and honestly...crawling back through the last coupla weeks' logs to study this i couldn't really be paid. much
as i'd like to lend some time to folks actually doing good work, this place is reeking rotten already.
☝︎ assbot: Logged on 21-03-2016 23:50:23; mircea_popescu: for the record, and to revisit that old definition of "public" ie the forum vs "private" ie the gynacaeum, something is public when it has what has been here referred to
as a "real" part. ie, when it is possible to make a definition for it that is meaningful for everyone.

☟︎ mircea_popescu: ematics is known
as a pole. attempts to create a netherworld between the sharply divergent f(x) and f(x+e) is what i've recently discovered - through the usual stepping on research process - to be a landmine.
ben_vulpes: what, people don't maintain their own list of books
as suggested by the individuals in chan?
trinque:
as long
as the filesystem in question lets me find things rapidly by searching over metadata, I will happily give up my black boxes of such
assbot: Logged on 21-03-2016 19:49:37; mircea_popescu: yeah, sure, not a difficult one for
as long
as one lives on imaginary half mil a year and theorizes away. in practice, it will not be seen, nor has it.

☟︎ mircea_popescu: mod6 that is the crux of the problem. there is no such thing
as separatability in software anyway.
nubbins`: asciilifeform multi-bit vector pgp sounds about
as rat-nesty
as a tag-based log tracking system
jurov: btw, i have misread first mention of it
as "vectored thrust" and imagined "wow S.NSA is finally onto ICBMs. Or space program?"
jurov: i consider whole trb thing
as something that demands my full attention, and there's always something more urgent to do...
assbot: Logged on 10-11-2015 22:25:29; mircea_popescu: ie, there, "it's not the job of the state to protect the cultural patrimony OF INDIVIDUALS and their clans ; if those individuals and clans are so degenerate, bankrupt and chlorotioc
as to no longer be able to protect their heritage, let the worms havce it. no, not even for comunist metaphisics ; no, the property of x isn't "ours", no x's history isn't "ours". let them uphold it or let it die.
trinque: I don't think all the reasons for "why do I hate" can be represented usefully
as a machine-grokkable header
jurov: i don't have acct there, not interested so much
as to solve their impossible captchas
BingoBoingo: Also in the latest qntra the Union flag
as ether rag is apparently a srs thing, except they call it the "American" flag
nubbins`: asciilifeform you missed the "do
as mp says" rule?!?!
mats: nor making use of the matter
as an opportunity to air grievances
mircea_popescu: would have helped to write it down.
as the original article asked,
as the rebuff to the original nubbins` said, and so on. two weeks ago, whatever.
mircea_popescu: understand how matters of fact work. judge sits down, lets the witness in. witness tells a story. bystanders ask whatever the fuck questions they want. witness answers if he feels like it, and remembers, and has anything to say. at the end of the day, bystanders can
as pompously
as they wish declare they're not coinvinced. matters not one iota. either better theory is formed, or the thing stands.
assbot: Logged on 20-03-2016 23:50:19; mircea_popescu: looky, that nonsense isn't going to snivel into factuality just because butthurt. chinese miner conspiracy is a fact, undisputed and accepted
as such.

☟︎ kakobrekla: or maybe mp can go "i, mp, have through a series of mistakes made a double payment and will now pretend it was a chinese conspiracy, say publicly i did it masochistically but actually bill it sadistically to the company
as a made up war expense"
kakobrekla: the point is that i agreed to do bitbet back then
as long
as mp is responsible and liable for bitcoins (
as per thread - i refused to handle them)- which he no longer wants to be
mircea_popescu: might
as well use vi then, equally unaware of the world.
mircea_popescu: (if you think about it, worst cinematic villain line of all time, most insulting to "the gods" of the viewer ? "you will never be
as good
as me." o noes!)
mircea_popescu: going to church, just
as good
as living well ; and then when going to church is too much trouble, going to protestant church "inside oneself" just
as good
as going to the proper one.
mircea_popescu: so then, in this perspective, balabusta (fat jewish housewife), who is absolutely the apotheosis of bourgeois society, will make clam chowder (just
as good
as) out of whatever it is she finds in her pantry, such
as for instance beans.
mircea_popescu: no wonder and no explanation needed that darwin became such a religious lightning rod. theory of... "evolution". there's no evolution involved in darwinism, per se. a wasp today has "evolved" just
as much and for just
as long
as jane austin "evolved".
mircea_popescu: going to unversity, just
as good
as thinking. fast food, just
as good
as food.
mircea_popescu: reading dickens, just
as good
as having a life. reading age of exploration crud, just
as good
as having travelled.
mircea_popescu: such
as : reading jane austen, just
as good
as falling in love, except cheaper and safer. no fluids involved.
mircea_popescu: phf the whole premise of bourgeois society is "me too". apprentice wizard "becoming" "just
as good"
as wizard. sons becoming just
as good
as fathers. seedling becoming just
as tree
as the tree.
