liquidassets: I don't know, it FEELS like a country
to me, has boarders, armies, laws etc..
mircea_popescu: it's about as much a country as
the soviet union would have been, if it were run by quisling.
mircea_popescu: i am saying
that one should have
to be about as clueless as obama
to imagine
the us a country. how is it a country ?
liquidassets: I don't follow, is
that a slight because his ancestry is closer
to africa
than yours, or are you arguing
that he wasn't born in
the United States?
mircea_popescu: like
the soviets in
the 80s,
turks sold
them all sorts of banal shit at 130-150% because ...
liquidassets: thestringpuller I don't want
to care about it anymore, I just want
to document
mircea_popescu: was done
that same day, apparently failed
to properly announce ?
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla oh i'm sorry. service was briefly interrupted because
the fucking beast kept needing apache restarted. but i'm done fucking with it.
kakobrekla: that was while i was working on log1 and
thats
the last i heard from you.
mircea_popescu: "fugitive disentitlement doctrine" ahahaha
that's rich. incidentally - it's how england became a dutch colony,
they "deemed
the king
to have abdicated by fleeing"
thestringpuller: and if you sell
to coinbase
the local LE shows up at your door
mircea_popescu: how's
the "Broken with varnish"
thing go, i didn't actually keep
that
thing
kakobrekla: moved server, broke log1, made log2 work
then it went broken with varnish
assbot: Logged on 22-05-2015 18:06:39; kakobrekla:
thats cause mp/cp fucked up one of his servers
assbot: Logged on 03-06-2015 18:00:41; ben_vulpes: kako
turned
them off
liquidassets: If I buy my bitcoin from coinbase
then it follows
that
they'll allow me
to sell
to
them and deposit dollars into my bank account
mircea_popescu: if anyone wonders why
the 20mb maxtors were encased in fucking steel armor... well...
mircea_popescu: o shit,
the old days when drives actually had mechanical failures of
the mechanical sort.
mike_c: no visible damage
to anything, so can't imagine it was a hard drive, and it was a lot of smoke
mike_c: i guess
the power supply went bad..
mike_c: yeah, never had
that happen before.
mircea_popescu: ftr, i didn't follow
the logic of
that entire conversation.
assbot: Logged on 03-06-2015 16:08:14; liquidassets: received an email
today
that
they have decided
to sever our banking relationship
assbot: Logged on 03-06-2015 15:27:41; ben_vulpes:
they want me
to scan in my passport and upload it
to
their secure portal.
trinque: for
those without bouncers
trinque: hm I'm starting
to consider an in-wot paid IRC host
mircea_popescu: but
the concept
that informs herr meir is one node up from
the medievalist
thing as noted
mircea_popescu: ascii_field you have
to understand :
the phrase as such is mostly used as a certain jew-libertard
term of art.
mircea_popescu: which is
to say - do not swear, spit or ejaculate insite , go
to heaven.
mircea_popescu: at any rate,
the guy's notions of HOW EXACTLY one'd go about fixing
the world are what's at issue. much like a large swath of reform retards - in both judaic sects, xtianity and mainstream - he was
the mechanicist persuasion.
ascii_field: afaik
that's what
they actually called
the doctrine
mircea_popescu: (yes dear chitlins,
there is deep philosophical disagreement behind
the entire jew massacre - it's not
the conveniently packaged "acts of an unhinged mind". german idealism and jewish materialism clashed, and
the jews lost.)
mircea_popescu: he was a congress poland jew, fully imbued of
the entire "messiah will come if we garden
the shit out of
this world" stuff
that resulted in
the gassings
mircea_popescu: hitler at least was wrong.
this guy - he's
the pinnacle of evil, unredeemable and unworthy of redemption.
mircea_popescu: i hope he gets fucking burned at
the stake, for his guild -
the greatest guilt
that
there can be - choosing
to be a cog in
the wrong machine.
mircea_popescu: the fate of
the us libertard is ~exactly~ what it was going
to be, except fifty years ago
they laughed at "o
that could never happen" with all
the imberbity of idiocy, and
today
they're all "nobody could have foreseen"
mircea_popescu: they didn't seem
to care all
that much about "discussion and analysis" or "due process" or "scientific method" back when
those were pointing and laughing at
their idiocy, from global warming
to fad cures
to
the whole heap of dumb
they live in. but now, suddenly...
they wish
to be saved by
the icons of some sort of wisdom
that
they never had anything
to do with, not anymore
than
the pigeons shitting on statues are part
mircea_popescu: o yeah,
totally worthy of intellectual sympathy
this,
trotksy raped by stalin's gonna get all my walmart cards.
mircea_popescu: instead of now when we're fucking each other in
the ass ???"
mircea_popescu: his objection entirely reduces
to "hey libertards, wasn't it great back when we were opressing
the conservatives, you know,
those rednecks *rolleyes*
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes in particular i find
this schmuck objectionable, and quite worthy of everything coming
to him, because much like
the
thief who's not one bit sorry he stole, and
terribly
terribly sorry he got caught,
ben_vulpes: "All
the old, enlightened means of discussion and analysis —from due process
to scientific method — are dismissed as being blind
to emotional concerns and
therefore unfairly skewed
toward
the interest of straight white males."
mircea_popescu: lol ok. /me fails
to manage
to care, or summon any respect or interest, for
the opinions of poltrons.
punkman: iirc
title proxy server died
mircea_popescu: "This isn't an accident: I have intentionally adjusted my
teaching materials as
the political winds have shifted. (I also make sure all my remotely offensive or challenging opinions, such as
this article, are expressed either anonymously or pseudonymously)."
ben_vulpes: kakobrekla and williamdunne had a slapfight over
titles
ascii_field: ben_vulpes: where did it go? somehow i missed
this
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes
the idea is
to
try and avoid splits in
the actual codebase.
mircea_popescu: eh, 0.8+ is
the kindergarten. if it splits
the
total loss is ~=
two fatties and a stray dog.
ben_vulpes: i don't
think further splits are avoidable
ascii_field: as if we had anything like certainty
that
the chain is not splittable -now-
mircea_popescu: and
then
two yerars later 0.00001% happens and
the chain is split.
mircea_popescu: worst case scenario here being where you get it 99.9999% right, and
then everyone
thinks you got it,
ascii_field doesn't grasp why mircea_popescu
thinks
this
to be hard
mircea_popescu: ascii_field yes, but
this is
the most delicate part of
the chicken's spleen.
ascii_field: (not in
the idiot bitcoind, no. but mathematically)
mircea_popescu: ascii_field baking
the
thing into
the hardware is exactly equal
to import usg.h
mircea_popescu: (if you do
the math, 100 ms for a full bitcoin sig check
thing is about where it is)
ascii_field: one more reason
to bake
the
thing into hardware
mircea_popescu: but i suspect
that common hardware
takes well over
two minutes
to verify a 1mb block full of
txn, which is
to say 1500 or so of
them.
mircea_popescu: for
that matter, a maximal 1MB block should be designed and
tested against on a variety of systems just
to see.
mircea_popescu: and i will note
that
the 28 seconds figure is merely an average - plenty of blocks actually do
take minutes
to check.
mircea_popescu: it's just a rougher implementation of
the "verify 1 in x" concept.
ascii_field: for some reason i inescapably
think of
those chinese
thumb drives with
terabytes of space (how? just loops around a 128M
thing)
mircea_popescu: "increase your verification speed
tenfold by only checking one block in
ten!!1 how
to make money renting out
the space inside your nose!" etc
mircea_popescu: we complain about
the meagre attempts at natural language shanonizing , but what of
the poor computers ?
trinque: just knows how
to stack overflow and pip install
trinque: I'm convinced 99% of
the industry does not actually know how
to code
trinque: mircea_popescu: yes, most web code looks like a venezuelan shanty
town, parts scrounged from all over, haphazardly bolted or
taped in
mircea_popescu: my mental notes were more on
the lines of "o look, it's clear
that
the author understands what his code does" and "o look,
there's actually a reason for
this stuff
to be here"
trinque: better if he doesn't absorb
the braindamage
ascii_field: this is literally
the only working www gizmo i ever wrote
ascii_field will have
to actually look up how
this works
mircea_popescu: ascii_field listen, can you add a json for
the stats which outputs url of newest found pore ?
