ben_vulpes: "I will personally come out to SF and make this all public and have a showdown"
<< aha do what now i'm sorry i ohohohahaha
☟︎ ben_vulpes: > one homogenous thing
<< in the same way that the cl compiler's available to user code? or some level higher?
mircea_popescu: mod6 a perfect backward compatibility
<<< every month less perfect.
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron> aaaaand the trilema twatter account is suspended
<<< now i gotta go in the logs, see what all that does.
mod6:
<ascii_field> trb www still shows non-v patches ?!
<< ok so no, not yet. after ben and I sign everything for the release, we'll be updating the website.
mircea_popescu: "CountOneInterrupt 2 points 1 hour ago Gotta love that classy web design with a butt next to the name. It's our sister site!"
<< check it out! someone fucking got it!
mircea_popescu: "edmundedgar 6 points 1 hour ago Why weren't people like this around when they were designing CSS?"
<< also, buttcoin is about 50 iq points over bitcoin.
mircea_popescu:
<shinohai> top kek, mircea_popescu made buttcoin
<< eh, they've got a fascination with me ever since back when the subreddit was called somethingafwul
mircea_popescu:
<cazalla_> yeah that guy, i actually bought a hard copy of the book though, been working on in it 1-2 hours each evening, trying to make a Legend of the Red Dragon mud type game meets bitcoin
<<< ahahaha check out the guy that took a year off from btc biz :D
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: [malleability] 'This is a major problem, principally driven by the deliberately broken state of the FOSS'
<< btw it affects pgp (via the braindamaged pkcs1.5) to same extent
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: 'Not only are they part of the transaction, not only are they an integral part of the transaction : they are the only actually needed part. What makes a transaction a transaction is the signature, nothing else. Everything else is like marketing : contributes to costs, not to revenue.'
<< here i will note that, if bitcoin used rsa sigs, the tx and the signature could be literally one and the same thing
BingoBoingo:
<ascii_field> aha. now try 500m which is what 'snipe' means in the civilized world
<< This is job for the other (Mosin) Nagant
BingoBoingo:
<ascii_field> what was the name of the treason guy
<< midnightmagic
BingoBoingo:
<ascii_field> actually p2p is, for the most part, the botnetz
<< Not feasible anymore really. p2P diff is too high. Most seems to be 1-5 dedicated recent mining rigs, so home users.

mircea_popescu: funny tho, so their target is "bitcoin community"
< 6months old ?
mircea_popescu: "Taleb has been kicking up the dust lately on Facebook and Twitter, encouraging his readers to not even listen to people who disagree with his beliefs about GMOs."
<< apparently encouraging readers to not erven listen to people who know better than to buy in the "rape" narrative, or the "global warming" narrative is a-ok. the problems only start when power exists unalligned to the usg, then the means are VERY BAD!!11
mircea_popescu: VCs barely invest in their own funds. The “market standard” is for VCs to personally invest 1% of the fund size, and for investors to contribute the remaining 99%.
<< davout: mircea_popescu: "Valid Bitcoin addresses start with a "1""
<<< since when?
mod6:
<+mircea_popescu> mod6 perhaps an announcement that the bitcoin foundation maintains and will continue to maintain a real bitcoin client, notwithstanding continued attacks from well known usg agents on the core values of sound money ?
<< sounds good, will write something up by EOD.

mircea_popescu:
<punkman> the worst part is that new core nodes won't be sending witness data to old nodes
<<< guess why.
pete_dushenski: "By trying to disqualify everyone who disagrees with him from civilized debate, Taleb and those who follow his tactics merely disqualify themselves."
<< bwahaha who's disqualified again ? oh, that's right, it's 'the people', 'us', 'we', (women), etc.
pete_dushenski:
< boohoo everyone should be a middle class conformist and comport themselves with only the flattest and shallowest mannerisms and phraseologies.
pete_dushenski: "This isn’t just bad manners, it’s destructive. Taleb is intentionally tearing down the kind of back-and-forth conversations that are critical to helping laypeople (like himself) form educated opinions about the safety of GMOs and other scientific subjects. And he’s doing with ugly, personal insults that demonize the other side of the debate, just because it’s fun. It’s a terrible, foolish strategy."
< punkman: "disposable structure known as a "witness" that does not get committed to the blockchain"
<< sigs still stored in blockchain last time I looked
pete_dushenski: "Saudi Arabia stood accused on Tuesday of trying to wreck the Paris climate summit in order to protect its future as one of the world’s largest oil producers."
<< wow. 'wreck' is so apt they had to use it twice. 1st su, 2nd us. now the only thing missing is a shiny red star in bahamas' (faux) fur hat and you'd swear you had deja vu.
mod6: Hey, took one guy a whole day to figure out the recipes go in the mind slot :D
<< lol!
mircea_popescu:
<nubbins`> "OPERATORS: No precedence, executed left to right, parenthesize as desired. 2+3*10 yields 50."
<<< imo this is the symptom of a badly written assembler or w/e the thing is.
mircea_popescu:
<nubbins`> the company literally had to get a local college to offer a course in it, and they sent an employee over to teach it
<< this is how it should work, actually. all the OTHER courses should be discontinued, pretty much.
mircea_popescu:
<asciilifeform> NOBODY USES INTEL'S COMPILER
<< mediatards, whats they know.
mircea_popescu:
<asciilifeform> imbeciles are free to spawn altcoinz, and even to trade in their genuine coin for them, no prob.
<<< kinda how socialism works.
mircea_popescu:
<nubbins`> (they still flaked, saw it with mine own)
<< there's a reason thermosensors are made out of two different materials stuck to each other. that reason is that this problem of geometric affixing is INCREDIBLY hard.
mircea_popescu: "La 27 de ani, Vladimir Oane a riscat şi a reuşit. În doi ani, a pus pe picioare o afacere prin care monitorizează diverse reţele şi oferă statistici marilor branduri. Contractele au început să curgă."
<<< for the lulz. romanian "airbnb could buy all of russia" thing.
mircea_popescu: heh. check this shit out "Not all investors are created equal. The winners are persistently the same relatively small groups of investors time after time. Success not only has positive signaling effects in attracting the factors that drive success, but also talent enhancing effects for the venture capitalists themselves."
<< now why exactly would this be ? successful sicentists aren't "always the same small group time

<< yeah, it's a very good can.
mircea_popescu:
