mircea_popescu: because that works now, and such nonsense counts
as strategic design.
mircea_popescu: jurov im not interested in what may happen
as much
as im interested in taking specific reasonable measures.
ascii_field: certainly 2btc doesn't buy so much
as a parking space here where ~i~ live
mircea_popescu: phf more layers to it but
as a first approximation yea
mircea_popescu: jurov so it would be ~600 bucks for 8u of space, then hire you to manage it and then buy the actual machines.
as an upside you actually have physical access and will lock down the boxes ?
ascii_field: mike_c: the beauty of 'v' is that no server,
as such, is needed
mike_c: perhaps I see it too simply. It is the way for me to get source code from people I designate
as trusted.
mircea_popescu: in any case the concept of "democratic self management" is about
as idiotic
as it gets. like a one-legged chair.
mircea_popescu: phf the way "claiming" has to date worked in b-a has been
as a gubernatorial function, mostly me encouraging/discouraging people from certain projects.
mircea_popescu: in point of fact all the bitcoin-copy altcoins could just
as well have run on v
trinque: betcha not a single person did this right either,
as with VCS
ascii_field: trinque: understand what an llc without a dime of income or so much
as threatening to earn any, looks like ?
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: if i did not put my income through it, then it is a plain tax shelter and this lasts precisely five seconds if anyone so much
as farts on it
assbot: Logged on 01-09-2015 17:56:08; mircea_popescu: the appearance of "costs" is what's known in poker
as a trap. to keep the fucktards out. so dun be a fucktard, you can think, there's no rule that you may only think about coding or something. think all through, the same way, everywhere.
assbot: Logged on 01-09-2015 11:07:45; shinohai: Perhaps he could be described
as a member of the species whose brain has not yet fully evolved.
mircea_popescu: don't credit newspapers just because they're newspapers when you know in your own field what a shitfest they are ; don't expect the laws etc are anythig but badly written, poorly maintained code full of holes.
as reverse-engineerable
as anything else.

☟︎ ascii_field: but this is really for mircea_popescu to decide, given
as he supplied this item
as 'pro bono'
punkman: "A reader tells me there is a small notice in his copier's admin panel about character substitution. On his device, the “bug” can be avoided by setting compression from “normal” to higher.
As a consequence, the issue must have been known by Xerox – so why was nobody telling us?"
ascii_field: ^ from my reading, this had a very real chance of destroying the non-pgp contract
as even a theatrical production
ascii_field: what we are attempting is rather like buying, cleaning, repairing old car; they - pulling off the wheels off someone else's parked machine,
as in india
ascii_field: think of your internal organs. what if they were
as easy to steal, cleanly and quietly,
as a bicycle ?
trinque: strikes me
as exactly the idiocy of "free software"
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform has referred to rms doing this with i believe a compiler
as well, and i would hear the story. 'cawsmic rayz and shitgnome bitrot' isn't the kind of story to scare children into losing sleep over.
shinohai: Perhaps he could be described
as a member of the species whose brain has not yet fully evolved.
☟︎ shinohai: I'm not certain someone like that can be truly described
as "human".
jurov: asciilifeform: your server serves it
as "Content-Type text/plain"
BingoBoingo: Well, If I know the FBI/Treasury/WTFObolaBBQ is watching why would I even create an opportunity to be framed
as a person looking to participate in drug commerce?
shinohai: Because
as we say in the South, "Backdoor guests are best".
BingoBoingo: Even qt.pro
as implemented in bitcoin, for people who still use it that way, seems more organized
phf: i spent some time going through exercise of getting rid of main in gnupg 1.*, compiling it into a dynamic library, loading into a lisp and calling c functions through ffi. it's doable, but yeah environment very hostile to librarification: often times reporting is done only
as a printf, with no status codes, so impossible to do simple (= (ffi-call...) 0) without unpacking the c level function
mircea_popescu: had i met linux
as a boy i'd be pissing with froth on the entire stupid stack.
mircea_popescu: Anything that is more of a soft fork will kick in immediately (
as long
as it doesn't drop pre-fork clients off the network). Anything on the p2p layer (ie. hard forkable) will be kept in the wings until the next fork date (
as roughly estimated from block height) and then is enabled.
assbot: Logged on 01-09-2015 01:33:36; asciilifeform: on account of how you can't really write an engaging yarn about inhabitants of the real thing,
as we have it
mircea_popescu: sorta like Rembrandt School of Art : since 1950, making paintings almost
as good
as rembrandts, with less work per sq in
phf: what isn't. at some point freedos was legit in a poc||gtfo kind of way, i.e. "we did it for the lulz", but now it's positioned
as the only legitimate way to run dos programs. that you of course purchased from GoG.
phf: at some point you had SAIL and Augment basically design by men for men, lisp machines, xerox park
as products of that. later you get two bit hacks selling imperfect copies of the glimpsed technology, thats your 80s and 90s. at this point there's already "no grasp", but the control is limited, basically a byproduct of commercialism. now you get the next stage, which is when the bureaucrats are getting involved
phf: while china is playing catch up, you get a computing equivalent of wild west with areas where the control simply didn't have resources to manifest,
as soon
as u.s. stops driving chip design, china will start closing up same holes u.s. is in the process of closing up right now
phf: it's a common thread here, the whole rise of "open"
as true openness disappears. to paraphrase snl skit, "our hardware is maker open - what does that mean? - not open"
phf: more like bureaucratic cancer. bureaucrat is "responsible" for an area of human endeavor, same way
as cancer is responsible for your lungs or liver
ascii_field: clean to your heart's desire. so long
as it gets shorter.
ben_vulpes: why i find this amusing is left
as an exercise to the logreader.
kakobrekla: occasionally i check the buffer and remove the bad ones, the good ones get re-read the next time and when i feel strongly enough about the one waiting the longest i approve a batch,
as deep
as it goes
mircea_popescu: but alf! it takes 85 muscles to hate and only 1 to take it up the
as!
pete_dushenski: " Qntra earlier reported Pierce, replaced Vessennes'
as chairman of the now defunct Bitcoin Fundation (note for editor: find something to call it so it's not confused with the real bitcoin) back in April," << calling all cars to the scene
mircea_popescu: trinque the tattoo is not
as much of a problem
as the bs string. "really needed" because omg
trinque: "this house was built
as quickly
as possible"
ascii_field: 'These companies are genuinely trying to do things right, to protect their customers, and prevent their businesses from facilitating criminal activity. We're proud to provide the KYC, fraud prevention, and monitoring technologies these businesses use to identify and prevent suspicious activity,
as part of their AML program to comply with U.S. and international regulations.' << l0l!!
BingoBoingo: <ascii_field> t-mobile ~specifically~ pushes itself
as 'we don't have a tonnage limit!!111' << This they advertise X speed for first Y transfer and after that max tonnage at best effort speed
ascii_field: t-mobile ~specifically~ pushes itself
as 'we don't have a tonnage limit!!111'
mircea_popescu:
as i somehow suspect that rate comes with mbps after a number.
ascii_field: 'eat
as much
as you want so long
as it is not too much by our lights'
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: my point was precisely that it is a spurious distinction, and that i do not make it in the system; and that anyone who wants to try to be remembered
as the first one to pen a particular patch had better deedbot his signature
ascii_field: bitcoin-
as-it-is is not really debuggable meaningfully without packet capture. sadly.
ascii_field: general-purpose computing has been disappearing for 20 years without so much
as a squeak, much less shots ringing out
ascii_field: 'The FCC specifically cites DD-WRT
as an unacceptable modified firmware.'
ascii_field: 'Actually, this applies to the whole device. The article is wrong that it only applies to the radio. If the device contain a radio capable of acting in the 5GHz band, then firmware Control must be secured for the whole device, even if the parameters for the wireless Communication is locked in hardware. Note that even if you
as a device manufacturer can certify in point 2 that the radio itself do contain hardware locks
BingoBoingo: <nanashi_> During an emergency like "stress-testing," I'd like to see a remedial measure which extends the 3-day window to something like 7-day window, or
as a last resort, a manual inquiry for refunding. << SOmetime on Day 2 double spend the coins with a higher fee so the miners want it.
pete_dushenski: but hey, just my pet theory
as to the passions of life.
pete_dushenski: "This isn’t to say, from some perspectives, that I haven’t tried to hang myself. I have. From the outside looking in at this institution-cum-“cult,” my regurgitation and therefore implicit condonation of rape and sexual slavery, whether I intended these terms in the literal or simply
as useful metaphors for domination, isn’t always clearly conveyed to the reader.
As such, some hot
pete_dushenski: ben_vulpes:
as to lifestyle changes, nothing overwhelming really. helps that neither of us have an office job stealing us away so we can take
as much time
as we need to adapt, lean, and cope
ben_vulpes: more curious about the lifestyle change, but that's good to hear
as well.
nanashi_: During an emergency like "stress-testing," I'd like to see a remedial measure which extends the 3-day window to something like 7-day window, or

pete_dushenski: "These aren't naive amateurs; they are clever hackers who are willfully stealing for their own selfish gain. It’s a small group – 1/100 of a percent of our 59 million customers – but some of them are using
as much
as 2 terabytes (2,000GB!) of data in a month. I’m not sure what they are doing with it – stealing wireless access for their entire business, powering a small cloud servic
pete_dushenski wonders if there'd be any action on a bitbet
as to whether taleb shows up here in the next year
punkman: ... "
as it starts taking charity donations in the virtual currency"
trinque: feedparser doesn't hand it up
as a parameter
tripleslash: there are about
as many eye witness accounts of both
mircea_popescu: who fucking knew that cli will become the bottleneck
as i age ffs.
trinque: at least so long
as they're a problem for Syria, maybe
mircea_popescu: the upside of bad memory. i enjoy reading trilema
as much
as anyone
mircea_popescu:
as it turns out it's entirely possible we'll have to kick this into high gear, specifically because of the poisoning concern you discuss.
mircea_popescu: but in summary it's an apparently valid tx that lingered in "unconfirmed, broadcast through 200 nodes" sort of state for half a day, bitcoin.info
as the standard bearer of the enemy DOESNT list it, either in the mempool or in the rejected txn list, in spite of having received it nx, etc.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform still same principle, and
as historical accident, where i happened to notice the strange.
