mircea_popescu: and as such... it fails on its own.
decimation: http://theden.tv/2015/01/24/jesuisusefulidiot-western-leaders-exploit-the-paris-attacks/ "What was the #JeSuisCharlie demonstration about if not about free speech then? The shortest answer would be: emopolitik. As Colin Liddell has defined it, emopolitik is: “the achievement of political goals and the destabilization of rival political systems through the selective mobilization and projection of decontextualized human emotions and
mircea_popescu: nubbins`: i suspect smoothie from the forums is kinda stupid << generally known as such. his behaviour throughout was, to quote hanbot "nothing short of bizarre"
nubbins`: "Professional carpenters never, ever, EVER smoke in the shop. It's an incredible fire hazard as well as a personal danger since stimulants can increase the risk of slippage on a power tool. My father was an avid chain smoker and would never allow tobacco in his work area."
ben_vulpes: perhaps better would be a thing that connects to the network, slurps out unconfirmed transactions and poops that back out as the mining input...
mircea_popescu: not as to racism in any sense, but as to why it's a bad idea

nubbins`: i probably would actually pay upwards of $100 for that piece, as-is.
decimation: re: baltimore: www.prrac.org/pdf/mohl.pdf "Over the next few years, RAM continued to protest the "victimization" of black communities in the path of the interstate, which purposefully seemed designed to take "the heart out of one of the most stable communities in Baltimore."

pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: you're right, the identity crisis is that of americans as a whole
mircea_popescu: merely disguises itself as "because X", like a domestic argument. in fact, it's becaue there's going to be a divorce.
assbot: Logged on 21-01-2015 01:41:29; asciilifeform: speaking of diamonds (specifically of the synthetic variety), one possible observation here - not concerning the idiocy of the wood thing as such - is that anyone demanding a specific 'colour' (as per the 'monolith' essay) - i.e. provenance - of object, is begging to be chumped
mircea_popescu: "Frank Sinatra had a terrible temper, as shown by his irrational hatred of Barbara Streisand"
mircea_popescu: It looks like he made his goal in life to be the most detestable person in the internet. (Methinks he is still nowhere near that rank, though.) However he is a precious resource, as an expert bitcoiner who enjoys kicking some of the most sacred cows in bitcoinland.
davout: as the classical french wisdom goes: "on est tous le connard de quelqu'un d'autre"
assbot: Add long time duration HSTS as a requirement for wallets by saivann · Pull Request #700 · bitcoin/bitcoin.org · GitHub ... ( http://bit.ly/1yGUhkX )
fluffypony: and then you can run as many wallet clients as you want
assbot: What does it mean to "bitcoinate"? And just as importantly, what does bitcoinating not include? ... ( http://bit.ly/18evdrH )
ben_vulpes: http://cascadianhacker.com/blog/2015/01/25_what-does-it-mean-to-bitcoinate-and-just-as-importantly-what-does-bitcoinating-not-include.html
[]bot: Bet placed: 1 BTC for No on "Bitcoin to surpass Berkshire as an investment" http://bitbet.us/bet/786/ Odds: 20(Y):80(N) by coin, 43(Y):57(N) by weight. Total bet: 5509.50957001 BTC. Current weight: 6,148.
thestringpuller: Something is still sucking bandwidth but not as bad.
nubbins`: like... dude, are you even having the same conversation as us?
punkman: "In some conceivable but unlikely scenarios, you might see incoming transactions as having 6+ confirmations when the transactions are actually invalid"
nubbins`: but that would definitely qualify as "getting out of hand"
mircea_popescu: you're talking of ambiguous things as if they were specified.
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: mitch runs a little coding shop, they do some web design as well

mircea_popescu: (another bit of braindamage th epower rangers forced upon the world, other than "historical transaction validity" as a thing, is "block as aheight"

mircea_popescu: jurov weren't you proposing that *somehow* there's ambiguous outputs as the entire point of what you were saying ?
ben_vulpes: but you're saying that if i cook up a transaction that has 1march29th as an input, the miners should actually rewrite that to use 1march15th as an input?
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes is this "bitcoin as it should be" or "bitcoin as it is to be inferred from current codebase"
mircea_popescu: <mircea_popescu> jurov i thought we were discussing bitcoin as a spec, rather than bitcoin as a hack. <<
jurov: they check as above
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla let me put it another way : the miner output of a block is actually defined by the code as "everything left over once you substract the sum output from the sum input"
mircea_popescu: there's no such thing as "veryinfing a transaction that was already included"
jurov: you seem to imagine they got poured into the blocks as scraps of gold into a solid brick
mircea_popescu: jurov so basdically you're talking of a degenerate case of my model, which sure, as a convenience can be implemented by my model as well.
jurov: but as 0conf transaction can be checked against other 0conf transactions (remmeber satoshidice?)
mircea_popescu: i think of bitcoind arbitrarily as 2.
mircea_popescu: well the block 3 tx i named as "proposed" is a 0 conf.
mircea_popescu: jurov i thought we were discussing bitcoin as a spec, rather than bitcoin as a hack.
mircea_popescu: there's no such thing as "a valid transaction". merely, a valid block.
jurov: mircea_popescu: but it also means it will relay all shit imaginable, you regard it as convenience otherwise?
ben_vulpes: "a single machine acting as a full node" << conformal has yet to answer any questions re: what the specs of this "machine" were.
ben_vulpes: oh as if its even a question at this point
diametric: asciilifeform: in context of the wood dong guy, he could vary height with the intensity as well, but it becomes really, really apparently its lasered because the edges are always charred
mircea_popescu: jurov worked as a life insurance sales agent i bet!
mircea_popescu: nubbins` well, as the alternative usage spreads the article will become easier to read.
asciilifeform: decimation: and you still need an oscillator, given as the tick counter in cpu (x86-64 has one, but it is not a universal) can stop during low-power modes
asciilifeform: decimation: not entirely pointless, as poorly written os assumes a notion of local time before network bringup
asciilifeform: decimation: i think i linked the photo here. at any rate the uart is plain as daylight on this board.
decimation: yeah I would say that the unicomp strikes me as 'plastic-y'
pete_dushenski: true as well
mircea_popescu: "The second-system effect (also known as second-system syndrome) is the tendency of small, elegant, and successful systems to have elephantine, feature-laden monstrosities as their successors due to inflated expectations."

mircea_popescu: just as good as horowitz & co.
davout: thestringpuller: i read that as "anyone know where to buy terrorists?"
Naphex: "Eu ti-as recomanda alta modalitate sa castigi Bitcoin pe internet care implica webcam si microfon. Poti da lectii pe internet contra Bitcoin. O metoda mult mai buna cred eu, decat sa te prostituezi online.
mircea_popescu: i've seen cost cutting to the bone implemented as "let's make it out of mud"
asciilifeform: as i understand, this is simply cost-cutting to the bone.

decimation: tinder argues for a return to 'women-as-property' matchmaking among elders

punkman: "He also started to charge BitTalk Media at a rate of 80 GBP per hour for the time required to respond to messages and emails that asked for clarifications and actions regarding these company assets.  Even more, he was paying himself for the time that was required to pay himself. All these actions lead towards considering him as a rogue/hostile shareholder."

punkman: as in stash house?
mircea_popescu: fanfare could just as well be panvare

asciilifeform: 'If the bootROM detects the 64-bit UART boot pattern (0xBB 0x11 0x22 0x33 0x44 0x55 0x66 0x77) injected by the user, as an indication to start the Xmodem protocol and the UART boot process); it configures the appropriate MPPs to operate as UA0_RXD and UA0_TXD, as in the previous sub-section and starts the Xmodem protocol to load the image from UART to the DDR.'
asciilifeform: not necessary as they are currently offered, but if they're a loss-leader and mircea_popescu buys 10,000 of them...
asciilifeform: mod6: a few days ago, I had been looking mapOrphanBlocks as a possible reason that it runs itself out << see my earlier 'valgrind' experiments.
asciilifeform: incidentally, if these are also to function as 'wallets'... i haven't any notion of whether, e.g., 'pogo', even has an rng.
