mircea_popescu: before
that we'll fork it with new pow and better design.
ascii_field: can't wait for
the usg yottahash mining farm where you need a signature from hitler
to get your
tx baked into block
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!!
ascii_field: anyway
thing is made in such a way
that operator is forced
to remain aware of what patch set he is pressing
mircea_popescu: was more
talking about
the cauise where you want half of x's patches.
mircea_popescu: enforce
the right balance between "keep updated!!11" and "fucking fork already" by default.
mircea_popescu: and if one's not happy with
this arrangement, one should RESTATE what interests
them, under
their own sig.
assbot: Logged on 31-08-2015 14:36:31; asciilifeform: also
there is no selectability of wot or patch subsets, other
than by specifying --wot customdir or same for patches, containing desired subset
mircea_popescu: really more a matter of style
than anything, your own ml does include your own
todo iirc
ascii_field: ^ perhaps i ought
to explain. picture a patch mid-flow whose seal is annulled (removed, even if
temporarily, from .wot)
ascii_field: (it is possible
to live without
them, yes. but folks who
try
to display a broken flow graph will see ???)
ascii_field: well yes. but i put it in for a reason, because
there are several
things which i consider important which presently do not work correctly.
ascii_field: y'know,
the ones who ~issue~
the 1200+ 'stop's
ascii_field: plus
the folks with
the official bots need
to be kept in cocaine
mircea_popescu: now it's 1200 a day. and all
that chewing paste and
toothgum is
there because
they run
the fucking bots in java
assbot: Logged on 08-07-2015 17:08:58; mircea_popescu: mod6 "our free market is
this
thing you can only buy!!1"
ascii_field: 1200+
trips in one day, recently, according
to
the birdcage liner
trinque: isn't
that like
these "circuit breakers" at stock exchanges?
mircea_popescu: maybe i should stop being such a
terrorist "destabilizing
the situation"
mircea_popescu: i wonder if
the market for gold is in
the same situation.
trinque expects
that his desire
to be radio-silent must look
terrorist-y
to some moron, if he bothered
to look
mircea_popescu: ascii_field and for
that matter, DECENT AMERICANS don't get sick.
ascii_field: which is
that
there is nowhere near enough capacity for 1% of what was actually bought
jurov: mircea_popescu: noticed
the mpex orders were published, it's safe
to resume everything?
mircea_popescu: why
the fuck would you want
to PREVENT people from using
things
ascii_field: trinque:
the cap is largely
to keep folks from doing
things like controlling model airplanes with'em
trinque: I called american messaging about a pager... 400 message limit a month
then overage, but at least
they are up-front about it
mircea_popescu: punkman obviously
the people in question left a
tracker on continuously.
ascii_field: it is
the inevitable fate of kolhoz: when
thing is 'free' and shared, suddenly
there are 'hogs' and 'freeloaders' and 'decent people'
ascii_field: suddenly 'you bastards, refusing
to use
typical sheepNohe,
terrorists'
ascii_field: then folks installed openvpn etc on
the
thing.
ascii_field: understanding being
that
there is nothing bandwidth-heavy
to do on a pocket phone
ascii_field: they relied on it being 'smartpNohe only' for
the limiter
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
trinque: mircea_popescu:
they worm around it with "up
to x Mbps"
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.
trinque: point is words don't mean shit, and
the rules are intentionally arbitrary because "fuck you"
mircea_popescu: i
thought
they advertised 20 MBps like my provider in ro or something specific.
ascii_field: 'eat as much as you want so long as it is not
too much by our lights'
ascii_field: the fraud isn't
that
they won't give out free bandwidth, but insist on advertising 'unlimited' while in practice entirely opposite
ascii_field: standard bezzlatronic reaction
to Evil Witches finding some
trick for using
their dollarz, which were given
to
them
to real-estate-bubblate,
to illicitly buy actual solid
turkeys
mircea_popescu: "we sell people 5mb connections. evil hackers use about 7% of
this. american business world ftw!"
mircea_popescu: which is WAY less
than what
tyhey are advertising, iu am sure.
ascii_field: ^ i read
their faq
thing, very precious. it made me recall
the last footnote in mircea_popescu's 'new software license' article
assbot: Logged on 31-08-2015 13:37:23; pete_dushenski: e, providing broadband
to a small city, mining for bitcoin -- but I really don’t care!" -john legere, ceo and president of
t-mobile
BingoBoingo: Apparently wifi rules was pushed out in March? Why suddenly panic now and not
then?
assbot: Logged on 31-08-2015 13:33:07; shinohai: She is
the closest
thing
to smart and sexy I have found in camgirlworld. Some of
the reddit sellers are pretty saavy.

tlp video removed by yt,
taleb one still up
assbot: Logged on 22-10-2014 18:52:16; mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> how
to do signed commits <<
the barbarian way. everyone who read a patch file (yes) and is willing
to sign under it, signs.
this gets posted. whoever wants, can apply
the patches
to get a merged
turdball. << i
think
this is exactly how it should go.
mircea_popescu: the former's a purely historical interest.
the latter's practical.
mircea_popescu: the concept of "who pissed in chlorine first" is very much different from
the concept of "who knows how
to make never gas"
mircea_popescu: "hey guise, i get no shit for doing
things right, my worn out butt is surprised. what is
this!"
mircea_popescu: alrighty. so why would anyone ask you anything about
this :)
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
mircea_popescu: define
the concept of "author" ; distinguish it fromn
the concept of "signator"
trinque: I briefly
thought "what about metadata in
the vpatches"
then slapped myself
mircea_popescu: so you write a song, and play it here. sometime later, i play
this song for my hos.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu:
the only
timestamps worth anything are deedbot's
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: notice how all seals (signatures) are
treated alike.
punkman: might be nice
to add couple more bits of metadata in vdiffs
trinque: I
think releases are
the same
thing, just point from elsewhere
to designate a release
ascii_field: see
the discussion of pgp key
timestamps some months back
trinque: ^ certain
things are a fine
task for some other program
ascii_field: trinque, mircea_popescu, et al:
there is another fine point re: 'v'
that i'm a little surprised nobody asked about. how it does not distinguish signers from authors. it does not do
this because it is physically impossible, other
than via deedbot etc., and i am not in
the business of promising
the impossible.
assbot: Logged on 31-08-2015 11:20:07; fluffypony: what's
the point of
titles if
they're meaningless
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller she also doesn't matter anymore, used
to 5 years ago.
