asciilifeform: as in the 'berlin wall' example above.
ag3nt_zer0: danielpbarron: is that your booklist? I would be happy to see your list, the ones that cater to or inform your self-identification as a religious thinker, if you ever have the inclination to share...
trinque: as if to drive the point home, some fucking drunk bum is hollering
asciilifeform: nothing that existed and worked in '86 could really pass as shitware by today's standards.
BingoBoingo: Anyone as of yet spot my OpenBSD 0.7-ish build in the wild. Returns version 0.7.3.9 for the time being
asciilifeform: decimation: there's no shortage of this kind of thing, as i understand
ag3nt_zer0: "adoption as official usg policy in a mildly perverted form" << via buterin's waterfall?
asciilifeform: ag3nt_zer0: it wasn't especially viable then. and after adoption as official usg policy in a mildly perverted form, i can't think of who might voluntarily work with such a thing today
ag3nt_zer0: asciilifeform: do you still consider the bitcoin-p option as viable?
asciilifeform: ag3nt_zer0: the 'atomic bomb' is - now, as when i wrote the piece- -- the mega-holdings under a sole key, which never move.
danielpbarron prefers to use cash whereever possible so as to give merchant the option of keeping it "under the table"
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> mats: aha. nope << Other cards still work if processed as "debit" rather than "credit"
asciilifeform: but point taken. there is actually a mega-lulzy ru film about a captive ru derp used as 'computermaster' by chechens
mircea_popescu: as in lumpenproletariat
asciilifeform: ag3nt_zer0: the 'offensively poor' as described in mircea_popescu's articles.
mircea_popescu: cazalla ah the mystery unravels, they wanted the guy as ceo so as to buy some legitimacy for something stupid they want to do.
ag3nt_zer0: "While Western mathematicians often claim Western mathematics is universal, anti-racist mathematics and ethnomathematics scholars share the assumption that any given mathematical understanding or practice is a product of a particular culture.[4] Scholars such as C. K. Raju have advocated multicultural mathematics, in which different cultures can develop different forms of mathematics."
danielpbarron: funny too because I have tail -f ~/.bitcoin/debug.log going 24/7 but as a way of monitoring it
asciilifeform: as it runs.
asciilifeform: as it tries to catch up
danielpbarron: you want me to boot it up? I bet it will still be wedged as I haven't done anything to it
mats: plenty of middlemen to be had for the right price as far as i can see
asciilifeform: the one that's just about entirely dead, as far as my naked eye can see ?
asciilifeform: wake me up when the untermenschen can produce so much as one brass shell.
BingoBoingo: ISIS takes state of the art fighting weapons and USia spends Imperial treasure on F-35 redefining state of the art as shittier
asciilifeform: but as far as those go, this is probably the size/mass/cost champ
cazalla: "Neither Alexis nor I created reddit to be a bastion of free speech, but rather as a place where open and honest discussion can happen: These are very complicated issues, and we are putting a lot of thought into it." bit of a contradiction eh
pete_dushenski: mebbe chinese come in to rape the blondies and suck up the minerals, maybe they can't be bothered and they leave the peoples formerly known as 'americans' to reoganise themselves
pete_dushenski: well as long as you don't move the middle east, you can probably get by where you are, even without the ginormous walls.
trinque: ancient as it gets
trinque: (unless as I said, it's outside great cryptographic walls)
pete_dushenski: the nation states of the middle east as we know/knew them.
trinque: as for bitcoin, one *would* hope those working within it do understand the mechanics of the technology involved
pete_dushenski: as all populist ideologies must be.
pete_dushenski: i see them as being quite related, if throwing out the baby with the bathwater.
pete_dushenski: it's incredibly, almost impossibly expensive to fight against an opponent as ideologically driven as isis (or b, tmsr~)
trinque: I am not a scholar on the subject, but it seems as an outsider that the major factors are Saudi, Iran and Israel
mats: out of sheer self-interest and to return the balance of power to as it was
pete_dushenski: the dude couldn't even put boots on the ground in syria, as fucking if he could do better than gavin and hearn.
ascii_field: missed as in, was vaguely aware and didn't give a flying fuck
mats: missed it? as in, you wanted to go?
ascii_field: although university of maryland did have buterin over as guest speaker, apparently, some months ago
Adlai: as though i'm in the right part!
mircea_popescu: and it was not even relayed (as it's not in fact relayable)
BingoBoingo: ascii_field: 0.7.2 Just renumbered it to advertise as 0.7.3.9
BingoBoingo: ascii_field: Takes about as much time as any other "problematic" block but gets chewed through just the same
mircea_popescu: as it is, i'll be moving infrastructure to strator.
ascii_field: we cremate orphan tx. and the 'tx spam' is sent in rapid succession, and depends on previous instances of same, and hence spends much of its life cycle as 'orphan tx'
mircea_popescu: gernika_ it's up and down as i have the 363736 issue examined.
trinque: thestringpuller: same answer as if someone steals your anything
nubbins`: <+ascii_field> nubbins`: as i understand, buyer can contact you and ask to pay in cocaine <<< i suggested to buyer we take tx off-site; he agreed. mildly surprised message filters or smth didn't get in the way
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=14-07-2015#1200905 << you can't, and fuck your stupid mother for fucking the lousy drunk that would spring forth an attempted abortion such as yourself for EVEN THINKING ABOUT IT. ☝︎
ascii_field: nubbins`: as i understand, buyer can contact you and ask to pay in cocaine
mircea_popescu: ascii_field nothing wrong with keeping a finite ip db and flushing the lowest entries as needed, just like iptables works.
mircea_popescu: so, how about, something like this : 1. pogo acquires max memory to be used for tx pool ; 2. pogo accepts txn into this until full ; 3. pogo calculates per byte value for eacxh accepted txn ; 4. pogo accepts new txn only if their per-byte value constitutes an increase to its pool ; 5. pogo keeps a score on all nodes ir EVER SAW, by IP! as to what txn it sent : -so much for sending unacceptable txn, + so much for sendin
mircea_popescu: "Please understand that you mentioned you accept "Bitcoin" as a method of payment. Some online payment companies are fairly new and inexperienced and they do not provide sufficient fraud protection to members. When we review payment methods to determine whether they are allowed on eBay, two key factors that we consider are "Security and Safety" and "Ease of use". Please do not offer this payment method."
ascii_field: fromphuctor: we even have a list of folks for whom some hooligan submitted entirely fraudulent (as far as we can tell) keys. nothing can be done about this.
fluffypony: also known as the "sorry for you" problem
fluffypony: 'Once a public key has been uploaded, it is difficult to remove. Some users stop using their public keys for various reasons, such as when they forget their pass phrase, or if their private key is compromised or lost. In those cases, it was hard to delete a public key from the server, and even if it were deleted, someone else can upload a fresh copy of the same public key to the server. This leads to an accumulation of old fossil
nubbins`: trying to find clues as to broken implementations, flaws in rsa, etc
funkenstein_: ok pogo is a different story again.. for me broadcasting a tx is not as time important usually as your needs i bet
funkenstein_: jurov, true, one could have a max size or max bandwidth even as command line flags with a bit of work.
cazalla: eh i'm waiting too, i could bitch that kakobrekla should pay as fast as he collects but who'd listen, i'm sure it'll be paid
punkman: "Jose Caballero, 40, was sentenced to two-and-a-half years in prison today for an X-rated beach frolic he had with Elissa Alvarez, 21, last July. Both Caballero and Alvarez will both have to register as sex offenders for their mischief, which involved copulating on a crowded beach, in the middle of the day, in front of a four-year-old."
cazalla: ag3nt_zer0, i never finished school but by paying to attend these places of higher education, you are buying what they're selling whether it be white guilt or what not.. i ran into this type of shit in different jobs but i always just refused to go along with it and they were always stumped as what to do next
trinque: it's really sad. reported as a pair of perverts because gasp, a 4 year old saw
mircea_popescu: which to me personally is about as offensive as anything the mulsims do in their god forsaken desert shithole.
mircea_popescu: chetty as proven by what, that you still have your head ? maybe they tried but ineptly, like anything else they do
ag3nt_zer0: I see multiculturalism as about as well-intentioned as the food court in the mall
trinque: as for the sharia thing, they play that a lot in the "right" leaning news here
ag3nt_zer0: I struggle to see how cultural relativism, multiculturalism as manisfest in states, offers any sort of couldn't-do-without-benefit to the western civilizational heritage... It seems to be manifested as a hugely destructive and degenerative force in US regarding everything from lowered national debate standards to laxed educational standards, erosion of free speech, critical theory where it doesn't really belong, poltical
mircea_popescu: there's no level cap either, you can craft anything as a noob.
phf: seems like if i wanted to find them, i might as well write a bot that would do random walk, then explore, etc. let it run for a day. though that will cost me in pick quality. hmm
mircea_popescu: but basically, from a player pov, the economy is elastic enough you can choose. you wish to risk 100 coppers per click, do X. you wish to risk 10k per click, no need to do X 100 times, can just as well do Y.
mircea_popescu: phf in any case, there is no actual incentive to bot, or i suppose the proper format would be to say everyone can bot just as well.
mircea_popescu: anyway, the current eulora problem as far as miners are concerned is : there's a single shot very powerful mining tool, which seems like the oinly hope to acquire essential resources choking toolmaking and cooking. since these are in short supply, people are working to make a map of known resources, so as to explore the unknown spots
mircea_popescu: phf yeah the helpfile as bundled with the client is a mess atm.
mircea_popescu: anyway, as the population progresses there's gonna be moar maps, but atm too noobish :D
mod6: They needed to basically have the same SHA1s as the originals, with my own detatched sig.
mod6: ah, yeah... hm. I believe when I went to sign all the patches from the last release, I had to pull the patches, and then sign them as if I had wrote them myself for them to be accepted.
asciilifeform: as the war heats up.
asciilifeform: a mistake that is owned up to, before it sinks any ships - can perhaps be accepted as a mistake, and forgiven ☟︎
mod6: I've tested it, trinque has tested it, but we need a third party to independantly verify so I know what I'm publishing there is as correct as it can be.
mod6: less is more, as always. if there's too much in there, it's less likely to be read.
mod6: There are some very far reaching effects of the patches applied in these build logs. They appear to "work", but as of yet, they're basically untested.
mod6: <@asciilifeform> might be interesting << i have not, as of yet.
asciilifeform: ^ just to be clear re: above, my node is not, as far as i can tell, wedged!
mod6: So over the weekend and today, was working on building a new gentoo-amd64-nomultilib (glibc) instance to test out application of patches with v0.5.3.1-RELEASE as the base. Was able to build static binaries with gentoo & glibc just fine with both a modified auto-static (auto.sh) and with a slightly modified stator.sh script.
trinque: cazalla: heh I got bussed as a white kid to the shittier public school back in the day for the same reason
cazalla: decimation, i read the other day this Fair Housing update will result in blacks being bussed in to the rich white liberal areas.. btw Obama looking old as fuck https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0lSLIhXrs1Y
mircea_popescu: the original concept is merely commentary, on lengthy extant tradition, and it stands on its own as a perfectly sensible term of art in its field.
trinque: not that I mind that at all, but it illustrates the "make any choice, so long as your domain of choosing is entirely irrelevant"
trinque: like in portland you can come to work at a software company as a male with a skirt on and your nails done, no shoes on, so long as you shut the fuck up and work
trinque: I wonder whether anyone actually intended it. It seems too well designed, that you create this concept "multiculturalism" which by definition subsumes whatever particular ideas you might have as an individual.
trinque: as if all we can do is "act as if X"
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I don't see how it doesn't happen as I only anticipate the rape of white trash to increase.
mircea_popescu: true enough that it doesn't seem to last, congo is congo. but... it was a decent trip, for as long as it lasted.
trinque: cowards, simple as that.
mircea_popescu: i suppose dignity's a lot like property, erryone's more than happy to claim it for as long as it's free.
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=13-07-2015#1199704 << he used ordinary sks, as far as i can tell. ☝︎
