mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, it's a powerful approach.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, yes, but it's just a sample of what works, not a mapping of what works.

mircea_popescu: the correct way would be to have a list of enumerated known-goods ; though this is understandably not done as it is -- because expensive. and satoshi didn't do it because he didn't even have any conception of dependency versioning.

mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes, the reason it was done this way originally was not a price consideration but forced societal insertion. ☟︎

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, afaik there isn't anywhere a complete list of specified versioning for trb, nor ever was.

mircea_popescu: yeah prolly about time he gets himself a bachelor pad. gotta be able to entertain the local cunt in style.

mircea_popescu: well, good thing you gave him a raise, just as this thing became one helluva anklet. ☟︎

mircea_popescu: did you folk get him a phone or anything btw ?

mircea_popescu: the sort of guy who thinks like this also imagines the only reason he's not running an uruguay dc is because he didn't feel like trying, not because he doesn't have the juice in him to do it if he had a thousand years and the fed's own paper account at his disposal.

mircea_popescu lulz at the poor misfortunate cia strike team, belabouring in montevideo under the usual threat of "you never fucking know where that nut put a sleeper to shoot you in the face" and then stuck paying dollar-for-dollar import duty on all their spurious gear that doesn't even work AND THEN having to find a fucking spoke lost in transit locally and taking three weeks to still not do it.

mircea_popescu: to sell it has to be sold. no use trying anything else. to have clean sheets you must do a load, and to have sold items you must sell them.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, rather the opposite problem : a stubborn refusal to properly sell fg has beheaded a few folk.

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-05-03#1808457 << evidently it'd work as !Qsearch. what use is there for a web-based irc service anyway ? ☝︎

mircea_popescu: "full" text search is a misnomer, even. there's ways to construct conceptual search that anyone who's spent any time with dyslexic children intimately understands. words occur together in their own wot.

mircea_popescu: such a pleasure to watch this dough raise.

mircea_popescu: douchebag, phuctor is a rsa super-collider, it uses some advanced maths to try and factor rsa keys. so far managed to factor about 2000. it needs to be fed, moduli. which is what you'd be doing, looking for all rsa moduli known to the internet. you understand what rsa is and how it works, what a modulus is, what N is and so on yes ? (if no -- straight to the library with you).

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, alrighty, well, was just a stray thought.

mircea_popescu: you know there's a custom cnc mill here advertising in the street and nowhere else ?

mircea_popescu: no but i mean -- and far be it from me to inject idiocy into your process -- there HAS GOT to be a specialist electronics shop somewhere in there.

mircea_popescu: meanwhile in "when's the last time you saw bookshelves as a backdrop", https://78.media.tumblr.com/6d2b15606ff5d700d56a6604cf6649db/tumblr_onbxbw6UmJ1w8ffkko1_400.gif

mircea_popescu: if you make it mandatory, it goes to overhead ; complificates some edge cases (such as exactly http://btcbase.org/log/2018-05-03#1808174 ). whereas as optionality it's just that, a useful feature. ☝︎

mircea_popescu: what, you have no trust we'll come to a fair and equitable solution or what is it.

mircea_popescu: some dood wants to bring a claim, this is the place, let him bring the claim what.

mircea_popescu: mod6, not like we don't have a tried and working method of dispute resolution.

mircea_popescu: trinque, i can see it. another way would be to require everyone to register a bitcoin address, autoflush to that if need be.

mircea_popescu: that if you ask in such a way as works and ben_vulpes feels like it you get your userdig tar'd and rsa'd to your key.

mircea_popescu: this is THE reason wot is "not mechanical" as a point of policy, long discussed but a while ago.

mircea_popescu: i can for instance cleanly see the case where guy not-in-l1 has a powerful neg on some rando ; i can also see the case where petty bickering among say irl acquaintances will be reduced to silence under wot pressure. and so on.

mircea_popescu: mod6, any lord, was the thinking. though even if it's not a lord, there'd be some splainin' to do.

mircea_popescu: Mocky, you can self-voice, say !!up to deedbot in a pm

mircea_popescu: aite, so do it every half hour until such a time as you rewrite the rss ?

mircea_popescu: they "never got a chance, that's all they wanted, a honest to god shot" dontchaknow.

mircea_popescu: it's not nearly as good a solution, but if you must.

mircea_popescu: there's no objective need it should do two dozen items each 9 minutes. could just do a count.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, the problem is rather, that it makes too many lines. have it rss a single thing each interval : "x keys broken".

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, bitcoin.com is roger ver's last remaining claim to fame, "oh, i registered a domain name".

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, re sample, doth http://trilema.com/2018/must-suck-to-be-one-of-you-average-guy-with-a-great-sense-of-humor-losers-seriously-now/#selection-125.122-125.138 not satisfy ? ☟︎
