shinohai: reddit.com/r/ethereum/comments/4r43ps/chinas_major_influence_over_bitcoin/d4yjy7t <<< Butterin "I can't fix Ethereum but this is how I would fix segwit"
BingoBoingo: Oh, I don't get those, but also rarely visit twatter anymoar
mircea_popescu: and make it v'd. anyway, more than willing to mentor you along, you wouldn't be stepping into abyss.
a111: Logged on 2016-07-03 19:40 mircea_popescu: also - if anyone feels like undertaking maintenance for this, on like a V tree and everything, i wouldn't be at all against.
a111: Logged on 2016-07-04 02:07 mircea_popescu: phf there's two main points of the split between mp-wp and automattic-wp. one is that i shot the akismet idiocy in the head (mp-wp antispam system works way the fuck better, and doesn't you know, run arbitrary code from the automattic equivalent of disqus, shambling abominable horror of untold proportions).
mircea_popescu: " revealed to much lulz that many miners were using a simplified form of verification when they were selecting blocks to build off of which lead to splits when it turned out "soft" forks aren't so soft." << " revealed that many miners were using simplified (and dysfunctional) chain verification, to abundant lols and chain splits. Turns out "soft" forks aren't all that soft!" ?
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-04#1496670 << theme doesn't work in control panel ☝︎

asciilifeform: mine isn't.
asciilifeform: but it isn't clickable
mircea_popescu: anyway, fi on trilema just now, i had to approve that Anonimescu;s fellow first comment ; as he never was seen before. his subsequent ones, i didn't need to touch.
mircea_popescu: well no, the spam one didn't get queued.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i dunno ; seems to me like a theme issue. this isn't phf's theme, actually, is it ?
mircea_popescu: and also do me a favour and delete my spam comment ; now it doesn't let me comment anymoar :)
phf: asciilifeform: i also made a patch, but sounds like you don't need it anymore http://107.170.141.103/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/wp-comments.diff ☟︎
mircea_popescu: nope, spam comment didn't make it through.
asciilifeform: it doesn't actually work consistently
mircea_popescu: i still can't send you a comment fwiw.
asciilifeform: so i can't actually use virginal themes ??
mircea_popescu: it won't likely degrade the scheme enough for you to notice.
asciilifeform: i don't even HAVE a comments.php
asciilifeform: i dun get it, do i need the rewrites? and if so, which? what does 'RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} .t-1813 [OR]' ~do~ ?
mircea_popescu: phf you'll also need a favicon.ico that's not a T lol
asciilifeform: doesn't seem to exist in the config
mircea_popescu: also, trilema doesn't have search box either. wtf search box.
asciilifeform: i don't even HAVE a wp-content
asciilifeform: but because the LAST time i did this, i had ~0 standards and didn't give a fuck
phf: ok, i got it going http://107.170.141.103 (i'll shuffle it elsewhere so don't bookmark it or nothing)
mircea_popescu: "preferable" doesn't mean anything. also bitmaps should be svg'd.
asciilifeform: i don't consider a project v-able unless it is 100% ascii text.
asciilifeform: gnudiff doesn't generate patches for bins.
mircea_popescu: also - if anyone feels like undertaking maintenance for this, on like a V tree and everything, i wouldn't be at all against. ☟︎
asciilifeform: wouldn't go this far, but ought to use the pieces already in the rubble
asciilifeform: you don't get to not count it in the weight of the proggy.
asciilifeform: for some reason you can't presently go 'gimme asciilifeform's latest patches'
phf: so do i, but we don't send patches to each other. v needs a distribute team to put it through paces, but every time we do, we et lively philosophical conversations as to how it supposed to actually be used
phf: trinque: i suggested one, ascii couldn't get past first line ☟︎
asciilifeform: a good chunk of gauss hasn't even been typeset yet (!)
asciilifeform: where existing langs aren't even enough for the truly 1333333333337
asciilifeform: this isn't a sin peculiar to mircea_popescu either.
asciilifeform: so, e.g., if you dun like taming scorpions, you ain't man
mircea_popescu: howevert yuou state it, manhood can't be much of a talent.
mircea_popescu: in other words, i don't believe manhood to be much of an innate talent. there'\s good arguments for the position.
asciilifeform: so for instance, upon first look it appears that 20-30mil u.s. will get you a simple 'bent pipe' launched into orbit, but then you notice that you gotta be in 3 different wots that asciilifeform isn't in.
asciilifeform: because it isn't available 'retail'
mircea_popescu: do they or don't they ?
mircea_popescu: this is why slavery doesn't work as an educational ploy without the whip.
mircea_popescu: "bitch, get your ass to baltimore and don't come back until you've picked up a local."
mircea_popescu: it didn't luck out to be picked by the "identity politics" circus, so it's not an insult at all! fancy its luck.
mircea_popescu: but from HIS perspective, it's that you can't afford the tools.
mircea_popescu: the reason white man doesn't build the middle eastern tower may be whatever you wish it to be.
mircea_popescu: there's ONE thing the middle eastern guy has that white man can't replicate, and that is, a stable, and here i kid you not, a stable, of dozen+ pliable obedient females WITH offspring. ☟︎
phf: my time is expensive, but it's non linear. i can't be hacking 24/7, or parsing information, sometimes i need to build things out of wood to let brain reset
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: didn't go well how
mircea_popescu: things... didn't go well for them.
mircea_popescu: high end stuff such as oak (we didn't count oak parquet as anything. we did peach, and cherry, and nut tree for the up end) costs to put in 1/5 of what it gets priced in as.
phf: it seems like they can't quite get it right here
mircea_popescu: people want the houses of the grandfathers back, can't built them anymore.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile, the usg counts "corruption" against me. i don't.
mircea_popescu: "nobody". the usg doesn't. i do.
mircea_popescu: just thinking about "window ac", wtf is this "feel good" nonsense. it clearly doesn't solve the problem, it just what, gives you the impression of a cool breeze ?
phf: well, i've added it all up, and it doesn't ever
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-03#1495502 << continuing re the motorcycles, after reading some moar lafond, i realized why i've never seen them elsewhere: they aren't street-legal in usa - no tags, no lights ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2016-07-03 02:46 mats: the plan is to run it on bare metal, isn't it? doesn't that end up being pretty expensive?
a111: Logged on 2016-07-03 02:37 mats: i was just thinking about the bug men comment from earlier (no i don't take it personally)
trinque: same reason I don't mind rednecks

mats: i was just thinking about the bug men comment from earlier (no i don't take it personally) ☟︎
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: it wasn't for sale.
asciilifeform: and i'm not wholly convinced that it isn't a waste of bandwidth, srsly
asciilifeform: but this crapola ain't ever going on my actual blog.
asciilifeform: it wasn't condemned ☟︎
asciilifeform: it isn't that all of this cannot be fixed, but that the cost adds up quickly.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: What can't you fix in these houses that goes beyond two 100 ft rolls of PEX and crimping tools?
a111: Logged on 2016-06-18 17:54 mircea_popescu: and when i finally croak ima go to saint peter an' say loudly an' clearly "what are you droning on about, old man, i didn't do nuttin'. ASK ANYONE!"
mircea_popescu: gaw veterans no doubt remember the same "1.oh we're taking over the world 2.no nevermind, tiny road bump ; 3. o wait we got a fix ; 4. crap the fix don't work but we'll pull together as a assburger community ; 5. omfg the trolls!!!!"
a111: Logged on 2016-07-03 01:35 mircea_popescu: in other news nobody cares about, ethereum komoonity turning ugly with "what if fork doesn't get consensus" and other anxieties.
mircea_popescu: in other news nobody cares about, ethereum komoonity turning ugly with "what if fork doesn't get consensus" and other anxieties. ☟︎
asciilifeform: i didn't buy any
mats: so i looked at the remaining judge's case history (Charles Wilson) and he doesn't have any that meet the qualifications
shinohai: It certainly isn't my decision to make, ignore me. I am of the "if not broke, why fix?" camp
BingoBoingo: Admirable effort, but doesn't let default styling shine where it should. It's a bit too much
thestringpuller: i can't connect to alf-node
mircea_popescu: most of the girls can't either.
mircea_popescu: anyway. /me has always lived in ghetto. i can't fucking stand "gated communities" and in general the stench of fear.
mircea_popescu: "bitch, you got a free pass because your white boy ass can't jump, an' now you go an' kill the homeboy ?!?!?!?"
mircea_popescu: but it does get their attention, and the whip does the rest, provided you don't need them for any skilled purpose.
mircea_popescu: they don't understand words, in the sense that the meaning may form but the idea that there's a relation between action and meaning is as foreign to them as tentacles are to mammal reproductory system.
mircea_popescu: rations decided he'd cut in and pretend he's the manager, so i asked him his name, at which point the entire fucking sky fell on his head. he didn't see that one coming, he honestly imagined he's going to be the anonymous responsible & in charge.
mircea_popescu: shinohai because "it ain't right" because "normal people" with "families".
gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: I don't really want to gas anyone, but must be able to respond to threats in a reasonable manner
mircea_popescu: you could liberally do the ferry bit, but it wouldn't net you the (very cheap) ticket cost.
gabriel_laddel: Oh oh, my point is more along the lines of - you can't cook mustard gas, use it on the hoodrats and then make use of the large industrial zone near oakland.
asciilifeform: and aren't welcoming randos.
gabriel_laddel: I've already sold 'stuff' here in the states, and don't see how it could possibly be different in SA?
a111: Logged on 2016-05-11 19:33 mircea_popescu: fwiw, young males that aren't entirely dumb go almost universally through this phase of "fantasy busienss" where they keep doing various coups in their heads, start a carwash then buy a shoestore with the proceeds then trade that in for a chain fo restaurants etc etc etc.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-02#1495045 << can't resist this invitation: first railroads were horse-drawn ☝︎
mircea_popescu: don't make me load my koi!
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you saying it doesn't matter ?
mircea_popescu: on the other hand, considerations of powers that wanna be, who really aren't, such as cixi wanting it to be "quiter than x" or hilary clinton wanting it to "not destroy usg because the us understood as usg was always great" will also not be considered.
