decimation: cazalla: do
they jail
the drunken aboriginals much
there?
cazalla: actually, australian magistrate's just
tell you
to go away and stop wasting his
time with death
threat charges
decimation: asciilifeform: I
think it is related
to
the 'confession culture' of
the us legal system
trinque: can't recall
the
text of it but really... "school's out forever" level stuff, nothing
terrible
trinque: asciilifeform:
this was how my friend's email was construed
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> cazalla: what's
the perfect job for intelligent, resourceful folks shut out of
the normal economy by demented regime ? << Very interested in answer
to
this question.
cazalla: killing people or just making
threats? :P
cazalla: <asciilifeform> if i were a kgb recruiter, i would be searching for
these folks. <<< re:
that or maybe i just misread chat
mike_c: anyhoo, we'll see how
this one runs.
mike_c: as update, my 0 orphan
test didn't go anywhere (stopped cold at block 500). So I'm
trying now with a 50 block orphan cache. I
think
the right number is proportional
to
the # of connections you have.
trinque: how do
they expect
to beat
the curiosity out of people for generations and expect
that anyone useful will be produced?
mike_c: ok. mine
takes ~220 right out of
the gate, i assume
there are some dials
that can lower
that?
decimation: "Caldwell was being interviewed as a part of
the annual State of
the Net Conference in Washington, DC. One minute, she was vilifying encryption;
the next, she was sending a message
to
the country’s citizens and companies
that
they need
to be “more conscious of cybersecurity.” “They need
to be assuming
they are vulnerable, assuming
their data can be
taken,” she said"
mike_c: asciilifeform: what's
the
target memory usage for
this
thing?
decimation: he would be better off going
to mexico probably
trinque: they pounded him under some kind of computer
terrorism
thing, and he could barely find work
trinque: decimation: my biz employs a friend who was
thoroughly stomped by
the... incidentally
texan justice system for sending a prank email
decimation: it's
the fact
that you will never be employed by a non-sleazy person again
decimation: the real problem with us 'gulag' system isn't really
the jail
term, etc
trinque: turns out you have
to pay
them for
the right
to cross
the imaginary line an odd number of
times
decimation: I guess usg is very good at
the good cop/bad cop routine in its derpy way
decimation: why don't
these kind of people with a brain just leave
the country?
trinque: asciilifeform: "mental health
treatment" << we will drug
the fuck out of you until you forget your name

the Chinese government access
to its devices for “security checks” – Quartz ... (

jurov: not necessarily audited. it's just mandatory part of yearly
tax report
jurov: there's no such
thing as private corp. here. anything except for physical person gets
their filings published
mike_c: that's one of
the perks of "private"
jurov: hm. interesting, while even my puny llc has
to have balance sheet public
pete_dushenski: jurov hmm. i don't believe
that
there's a requirement
to publish annual reports for private corporations.
felipelalli: asciilifeform: isn't
that part of assbot wrote by you?
pete_dushenski: mike_c even
though i won't be
there,
that's a sublime idea
mike_c: conference
this year should definitely include a poker game
mod6: there are some good ones in 2011
too
mod6: felipelalli: read all of 2012, 2013, 2014 & 2015

felipelalli: asciilifeform: your engine is pretty smart,
thank you. :)
ben_vulpes: felipelalli:
tell
that
to asciilifeform :D
danielpbarron: BingoBoingo, last sentence of
that article: s/it's/its/
ben_vulpes: well i'm off
to hobnob with
the lawyers i'll catch y'all on
the flipside
felipelalli: ben_vulpes: and do you guys can point an specific relevant conversation about
that? a day? month? Or just dig, dig, dig? :)
cazalla: felipelalli, you need more logs before
this idea
trinque: thestringpuller: shit
to substance ratio applies
felipelalli: would work similar as silver works
to
the economy (silver have ~ 777B market cap in a quick search I just made, not
too much compared with gold but it is enough). Even if
this coin have only 5 or 6% of
total bitcoin value, it could be useful
to "don't stop
the world" when bitcoin is under attack or maintenance. --- If I am wrong about
that, I could write about what
this is a bad idea and altcoins are bad at all.
felipelalli: to "confiscated"
the gold (I heard about
that but I have
to study more deeply). I came
to
this conclusion because I know bitcoin can't be available 24/7 forever. It will eventually fail in some situation (for example during a bad made hard fork - either because Gavin's gang spoiled or not) and at
that
time everybody should already is using some strong second coin
to be used as backup during a
temporary "bitcoin blackout". I
think
this coin
felipelalli: material. I know I can search on Google but I guess you guys already have selected
that "cherry cake" about
this
theme.
Trying
to summarize: my point is
to show
the importance (or not) of a strong coin
to be used
together with bitcoin. My initial
thesis is
that in
the future (almost) all wallets will work with
two (or maybe 3)
totally different coins.
The second coin would be so important as silver was in
the past when
the government
tried
felipelalli: Then, I can see you guys are
talking something about altcoins (I couldn't follow everything), and by change I've been
thinking all day about something related
to write an article. Actually I've been
thinking about it from a long
time ago, and
the subject is: <<
the importance (or not) of a strong "second" coin >> and I'd love
to read
the most I could about it (altcoins, sidechain, and related) and I'm sure you guys have have a plenty of
felipelalli: Hi gang noise! :] (sorry if I can't express myself very well in English) First of all, I want
to apologize for
that "gavin day", really sorry about
that.
cazalla: he's fucking game laying next

the piglets
trinque: ...canadians,
they're probably vegan

the same
time

these languages steal fire from
the gods and claim it as
their own

the lambda syntax :D
