mircea_popescu: copypaste wouldn't advise it tho, highest suicide rate outside of japan.
mircea_popescu: <copypaste> i wouldn't, but plenty of people would. the average person in the philippines views foreigners as being smart and better educated than them <<< this happens to also be right.
punkman: in other shipping mysteries, I ordered some widget from China in August I think, there was a non-working tracking no., 45 days later I ask merchant what's up with it, says they were actually out of stock at time of order, didn't even ship it and they won't be getting any more stock from factory. Couple days ago, I get a notice from post office with that tracking no.

assbot: Logged on 08-01-2016 13:06:26; mircea_popescu: i don't even know two thirds of them. magnum iirc is some shitty icecream, lipton's the sort of tea one drinks when no tea is available

mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=08-01-2016#1362766 << they're plus size MODELS. not plus size women. like saying this is a very tall ant. no, it doesn't mean it's a two meter tall ant. ☝︎
punkman: copypaste: you can't "cloudflare" your email server << half the startups point their mx to gmail

mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> they don't need it. << yes but the problem is in their head.
asciilifeform: they don't need it.
copypaste: i haven't been in the USA since 2014 though
asciilifeform: not even. children didn't get passports.
mircea_popescu: more or less. in this case it's mostly because you probably don't speak spanish to a level acceptable in court.
mircea_popescu: you don't buy new teeth like buying milk, either.
assbot: Logged on 08-01-2016 04:14:58; punkman: ben_vulpes: some kind of aslr? I think we had a thread about it, but can't find it now
asciilifeform: these folks don't do much emailing outside of the grounds
copypaste: you can't "cloudflare" your email server
asciilifeform: copypaste: mega-bureaucracies don't really give much of a fuck whether their public site stays up, they fall down routinely. and at this point are all 'cloudflared' anyway.
mircea_popescu: can't sell "your" barber shop, but yah you can have a little money to "see you through a rough spot"
copypaste: but you can't renounce your US citizenship before acquiring another one
punkman: ben_vulpes: some kind of aslr? I think we had a thread about it, but can't find it now ☟︎

BingoBoingo: But you can't reverse hanging with a 4 week course of breast cancer drugs
mircea_popescu: "I liked trilema better when it had a paywall (and I couldn't read it for lack of trilema credits)."
asciilifeform: and why wouldn't they trust themselves with it
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i didn't think the usa even had anything.
mircea_popescu used to keep a notable stash, mostly because the whole army of sluts/students/tramps and assorted vagabonds didn't trust themselves with it.
asciilifeform: so BingoBoingo wasn't entirely wrong
asciilifeform: mega-empires, their standing armies, and demented fuhrers don't hang automagically
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform these schmucks ain't got the balls for no rallies.
mircea_popescu: so how abo0ut the simple message whatever anon politruk needs to hear is, "go fucking hang, we won't need weapons anymore"
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=07-01-2016#1362496 << there ISN'T such a thing, not one that doesn't fuck you up in readily-detectable (litigable !!111) ways. ☝︎
asciilifeform: (it makes no practical difference, the patch is cosmetic and i won't be surprised if it is not considered for inclusion in a release)
Xplosionist: (I don't think anyone expects them to beat the packers this weekend, but I kinda hope it might happen)
ascii_butugychag: interesting. unfortunately i don't know enough re: the sport to comment
diametric: he's at the salt mine isn't he
BingoBoingo: <jurov> whether "stratum" protocol fits in head for easy control, that's another question. << A lot of this. I'm imagining and "electrum" that isn't actually electrum. i.e. not a big ball of whatever that desperately wants to advertise to the world exactly what it is. basically a different better database client setup. May break down and learn to make code enough to shit one out by 2030.
jurov: i have an old account, unused for ~2 years, don't you want it?
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com//?date=07-01-2016#1361875 << you can, if you don't care about the risk someone will send you a new payment and miners will rearrange a block so that it goes t otheir fee. incidentally, this property of the correct design combined with the baseless butthurt of the power rangers over address reuse (in which they simply follow unthinkingly the humours of satoshi) suggests to me that the derp ☝︎
mircea_popescu: <BingoBoingo> ^ Tesla's over << you wouldn't have expected a govt agency not to muscle in sooner or later neh ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu might just be the last free man left standing and i notice that he isn't in much of a hurry to fly into anything quite yet
mircea_popescu: couldn't sail for shit.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform basically, 10 yos didn't have a daddy, will get a daddy when they're 20. for them and the wife.
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=06-01-2016#1361596 << there's nothing nice about them and they aren't men. ☝︎
assbot: Logged on 06-01-2016 20:48:23; pete_dushenski: if not better, seeing as how white kids are used to lavish finished basements all to themselves and aren't used to the sardine lifestyle
mircea_popescu: aha. i didn't say it was ridiculous, either.
BingoBoingo: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=07-01-2016#1361860 << I couldn't get this pheature working in 0.7.x using 0.9 series code, ended up just making 0.7-ish low-s sign because malleation is annoying ☝︎
asciilifeform: i don't hunt polar bears, either. and yes, i know that it is possible, provided that one rearranges his life in particular ways
assbot: Logged on 16-08-2014 21:39:02; asciilifeform: 'mr carter, you aren't cleared for this, and if you ask again there will be problems.'
asciilifeform: the elected buggers don't rule.
mircea_popescu: if they don't care then not shooting anyone. if shooting anyone, then yes they care.
mircea_popescu: either they care or they don't.
assbot: Logged on 06-01-2016 00:45:07; asciilifeform: as a very wealthy usg-dod consultant once said to me, 'i don't give a flying fuck whether it is the democrats, the republicans, or the lesbians, who win'
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=06-01-2016#1361206 << you can'[t simultaenously hold this and http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=06-01-2016#1361174 ☝︎☝︎
asciilifeform: malleation doesn't happen via cosmic rayz, no.
mircea_popescu: but i think merely the point that it's broken is worth stating. because apparently the people that understand it's broken didn't know it worked like this (me) and the people that knew how it worked... well... got seduced.
asciilifeform: that is, 'codebase' that doesn't immediately frighten away everbody halfway sane
mircea_popescu: jurov what "body" "needs" ain't got the substance of ghost spit yo!
mircea_popescu: annoying problems don't go away just because we don't want to have them.
asciilifeform: thing is, answering the question of 'what balance has address A at time t' is an O(N) operation on the whole motherfucking blockchain
asciilifeform: alternatively wait 10,000 years for a hero to be born who doesn't need to eat or sleep
kakobrekla: > unconfirmed transactions relating to your own wallet addresses are stored not only in the memory pool, but in wallet.dat, so a restart won't clear them. To accomplish that, you can start bitcoind with the recently added -zapwallettxes option. This will cause bitcoind to forget all transactions associated to your addresses, and rescan the block chain to reconstruct them. In particular, any unconfirmed transactions will be forgotten and
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla fancy, "use a backup". yes, i have backups. and how the fuck do i identify which payments of the HUGE batch of bitbet payments for end of year were made and which weren't, so i don't end up doublepaying ?
pete_dushenski: reliant robin is an excellent example of bitcoin as it works today : looks to have the right parts but has them in the wrong order and as a result it doesn't quite work as intended. compare this with the morgan 3-wheeler, which is perhaps where trb is headed, which has the same parts, but not welded together by apes.
kakobrekla: T is relevant because unconfirmed coins on the change address are ok to be sent.
mircea_popescu: T is irrelevant for this discussion. i send btc to address x. this confirms. what t it has does not matter. i send btc from address x. this fails to be included.
mircea_popescu: if it explains the behaviour or not isn't really all that germane.
mircea_popescu: the txn aren't chained. i don't do that.
BingoBoingo: !t m s.bbet
jurov: pity they don't make guns (but who knows)
pete_dushenski: girl who leases $500/mo suv couldn't imagine justifying $800 iph0ne, so... bought $300 chinese thing ☟︎
pete_dushenski: ascii_butugychag: it's more that all the idiots already have $800 iphn0es that works just fine thank you very much. new one isn't much better, watch is not cool. so : peak smartphone is a reality
thestringpuller: ascii_butugychag: i imagine you don't own a "smart-phone"
jurov: and i can understand the blockexplorers don't want to fill their database with invalid txen
thestringpuller: when you push to blockr.io it detects a bad input and says "I won't relay this"
thestringpuller: jurov: well from the explorers standpoint blockcypher doesn't care is just saying "this tx is borked look at these double spent-like errors" and then the story continues
thestringpuller: i'll check it out in a second (don't have a full node at disposal atm)
pete_dushenski: like retirees who can't say no to that 15 cent dividend
pete_dushenski: if not better, seeing as how white kids are used to lavish finished basements all to themselves and aren't used to the sardine lifestyle ☟︎
