davout: ben_vulpes: yeh, not that the miner-snipping doesn't itch
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: i am all for moving the miner to own binary. BUT you would then have to test it and somehow demonstrate that it in fact behaves IDENTICALLY to the original
davout: ben_vulpes: but even if separate binary i see this more as a "reference wallet" in the same way the "reference miner" demonstrates what a miner does, but isn't actually used by anyone professionnally issuing transactions
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: crypto code belongs on separate box.
asciilifeform: davout, ben_vulpes : signatron belongs in a copper box with tiny hole drilled for one fiber.

davout: ben_vulpes: ty

asciilifeform: i'm with ben_vulpes . it's a motherfucking REFERENCE CLIENT

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes, other crappletronicists : also lulzy is that dialog boxes in recent crapple os are no longer TAB-navigable
asciilifeform: !~later tell ben_vulpes plox to enlighten me, a poor sinner, why did crapple break the HOME and END keys ? what did they ever do to'em ?

mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes china isn't going to fight embargo.

mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes i think you deeply misrepresent the rural folk.
trinque: ben_vulpes: not how it would work at all
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: the mega-q imho is 'how many days can texaslandia survive without chinese plastic shipments restocking lolmarts'
a111: Logged on 2017-01-26 20:12 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform don't worry about it -- they had it two generations ago, and will get it again
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes it's not clear. maybe it finds itself a nation at the bottom of it.
a111: Logged on 2016-03-30 22:56 mircea_popescu: russia exists out of the tolerance to poverty of its women and the rich subsoil. not much call for the latter in the much slower economy of the future. so rather than buying bonds...

mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes takes all of five minutes for money to be made. it's just a matter of how you structure things.
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: nobody here is laboring under the illusion that any money is to be made. there are social media twits, and a small group of people trading fermented trash around.
asciilifeform: to mircea_popescu in his martian dome -- probably not.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: the sheep-herders allocate ~0 capital.

a111: Logged on 2017-01-26 18:03 mircea_popescu: i'm satisfied that if one keeps the named hardware ( http://btcbase.org/log/2017-01-06#1597436 convo) or their preferred equivalents that one will have no serious problems for the foreseable future.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i was just the other day sweating, to source a multi-cpu+ecc opteron board with >1 16-lane pcie.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the common trunk ~is emacs per se~
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it isn't negotiable.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: much of what emacs users use for scripts is custom, personal.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: 3.x linux kernel; gcc 4.9; musltronic toolchain; emacs 24; trb; v; gpg 1.4+rngpatch+timingleakpatch .
a111: Logged on 2017-01-26 17:24 mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-01-26#1607129 << this is unrelated to the discussion ; but since it's brought up this is also not possible. you can't obtain a way to re-create "rousseau's social contract" ie, agreement without the nod. that's heathendom pure and simple ; until and unless i nodded on your fucking law-tax-whatever it ain't got teeth. i don't care what you agreed with whom.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: afaik this already ~happens
a111: Logged on 2017-01-26 14:51 asciilifeform: (and i will also note, mircea_popescu's method puts serious mechanical stress on a part of tmsr that is at present time not well-developed -- navigation of elaborate, deep, and TIME-VARIANT relationships between wot inhabitants)
a111: Logged on 2017-01-26 17:00 mircea_popescu: yes, but you're also not the end all be all of dealing with idiots. the implication, evident as it may be, being that i'm his mommy and i should care about his welfare and his choice to lead with the wrong fucking thing is somehow my problem and oh aren't we all sorry that we're missing out on adlai not being dogfood.
a111: Logged on 2017-01-25 23:24 ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: how about http://trilema.com/2009/pe-scurt-despre-analiza-tranzactionala/
asciilifeform: with possible exception that one 'had to be a cow' and other 'could have not been a cow', to borrow from mircea_popescu's piece
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: from my perch, i see ~0 meaningful diff b/w icandy and adlai.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: while we're on subj of 'gets in the way but not enemy' -- how come 'adlai attacked republic by dropping snr' but not indiancandy ? is it because the latter lays claim to tits ?
asciilifeform: lemme ask mircea_popescu : would he classify , e.g., pirate, as 'hostis humani generis' ?
asciilifeform: so mircea_popescu is perfectly happy to punish those who would personally defraud ~him~
asciilifeform: the only reasonable answer to targeted, planned, premeditated theft, is to disproportionalely punish the rogue. (as per mircea_popescu's disproportionate-punishment article)
asciilifeform: suppose mircea_popescu catches a hood rat red-handed running off with spare dirible engine from his warehouse.
asciilifeform: without honest weights and measures, there is no market, there is (in words of spiffy mircea_popescu article!) 'put maybe-potato in this bag, get a bag of maybe-coins'
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: my criticism was specifically that structuring them ~unopposably~ is an act of dishonesty.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform ben_vulpes and davout are evidently struggling with the trb ; so was mod6 before we fucked up his week with v stuff ; diana_coman is purging idiocy out of eulora and so on. plenty of people.
asciilifeform: incidentally i am not seeing much uptake for the 'walking the walk' of mircea_popescu's position, so far. afaik asciilifeform is the only one currently struggling with ada, for instance.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: same way i know 'it is NOT good to have the only vehicle be antigrav'
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i suppose it is because preteens etc. still have eyelashes
a111: Logged on 2017-01-26 15:41 mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-01-26#1607087 << this is actually not half-bad an idea, and it goes nicely in the direction of phf 's literate code, which i still think should be a distant, but present goal.
a111: Logged on 2017-01-26 15:47 mircea_popescu: there isn't a better approach to this. in particular "creating a semi-permeable membrane" is not one of them.
a111: Logged on 2016-12-31 19:29 mircea_popescu: are you familiar with the von neumann set ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: afaik it is part of the strange 'let poor schmucks Feel Like They Have Servant for 5min' thing americans have going
