danielpbarron: A woman who checked into a hotel room in Gateshead said she found
the words "I'm going
to rape you" on
the
TV screen.
Travelodge said it believed someone may have used
the
TV manufacturer's code
to change
the settings.

mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes> introduction of a new versioning system should not be an ad hoc
thing. << or a
thing at all.

BingoBoingo: Just have
to make sure
the
toy node ntp implementation actually holds
to
that.
decimation: it is only used
to filter incoming
timestamps & maintain
the system clock
decimation: no, in
this case
there would be no reason for ntp
to be network accessible
BingoBoingo: Just have
to remember
that carelessly configured ntp accessible on
the network is one of
the DoS amplification venues we hate
decimation: ntp will use its own math
to average & filter
time
decimation: re: ntp & bitcoind << actually, it would be possible
to get ntp
to 'listen'
to bitcoind
to keep
track of
time
ben_vulpes: introduction of a new versioning system should not be an ad hoc
thing.
ben_vulpes: have
the discussion sometime when we're not
trying
to do whatever we're
trying
to do
this week, mk?
decimation: of course one could just store
the number of digits
too
decimation: so
the idea would be you approach some irrational number with each improvement (add a digit)
mod6: decimation: i mean
the pi versioning.
mircea_popescu: <ben_vulpes> can't say as i get it. either one owns btc or one doesn't. << one either owns real estate or doesn't. where does
that leave
the
teenagers, inhabiting comfortable middle class homes
they can't afford, and not even having
to suck cock for it, like
they will a decade down
the road ?
decimation: or were you
talking about pointy sticks?
mod6: decimation:
they just outlawed sledding
too
mod6: decimation: got a link
to something about
that, not seeing anything relevant
decimation: ben_vulpes:
technically pointy sticks are already outlawed in most us states
decimation: re: version numbers: what about
the knuth model of approching pi or something?
mircea_popescu: see how many COUPONS you find.
to "save" generally 5-10 bux.
mircea_popescu: go break into one of
these low income households, rape
the women, kill
the men, ransack
the drawers.
mircea_popescu: <ben_vulpes> everone else...gives zero fucks. and will continue
to give zero fucks until usd/btc bubbles up again. << at
the
time it was 50-70bux or so.
mircea_popescu: anyone's more
than welcome
to run
their own blocklists, which some people do. but
the entire network's built on
the premise
that you can'trealy isolate nodes.
mod6: we're getting close
to wrapping up a first cut of
this
thing. so i want
to nail down any changes before we get start
to roll one.
mod6: i was pretty set on v0.5.3.1 until ascii
tells us
that we might not be able
to be
talk
to anything < 0.8 -- which
to me seems weird.. because i've fully syncd a dozen
times, and done send/receive np
mircea_popescu: mod6 a) lord kelvin!
there's no kalvin. an' b) just forget about
this entire vanity version
thing, why do you want
to hardfork
the versions now ?!
mod6: anyway, i like
the kalvin
thing. but
that'll have
to be something
to
think about later.
mod6: so my point here is, without a bigger overhaul
to
the versioning system; one would have
to set 90000
to be v0.9.0, or 9000000
to be 9.0.0, but
then what? because we should be counting down. and at some point, we'll cross
the
threshold of < 0.8
[]bot: Bet placed: 3 BTC for No on "S&P 500
to drop under 1700 before March"
http://bitbet.us/bet/1087/ Odds: 10(Y):90(N) by coin, 13(Y):87(N) by weight.
Total bet: 10.71560018 BTC. Current weight: 39,393.
mod6: and im wondering, if we use kalvin, and start at 9000 (it'll result in v0.0.90-beta) how we can ensure
that other nodes won't
think we're on < 0.8
ben_vulpes: every bubble's going
to bring more into
the fold. hurt more when it pops.
mats: indoors awaiting
the snowpocalypse
ben_vulpes: hey mats, how're
the massachusets sluts
today?
ben_vulpes: everone else...gives zero fucks. and will continue
to give zero fucks until usd/btc bubbles up again.
ben_vulpes: as experiment, go
try getting a randomly selected semi
technically savvy person
to
take a bitcoin.
ben_vulpes: one of
the ohians renting squats
to derps
gribble: the20year was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 23 weeks, 5 days, 5 hours, 24 minutes, and 1 second ago: <the20year> i hear
they're aiming for a 0.5% APY
gribble: mrstickball was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 18 weeks, 4 days, 10 hours, 47 minutes, and 8 seconds ago: <Mrstickball>
they are as well, AFAIK
thestringpuller: TheNewDeal: lol, people have organ
that makes
them fart when
they act like idiots
TheNewDeal: Universe would be
too logical if a foul fecal odour were emitted in proportion
to
the idiocy of a statement emitted by a person
ben_vulpes: <trinque> #btcd
tells me I'll eventually be able
to query address balance with just btcd and btcctl... seems like keeping its own count is fine, no? << key word - "eventually"
mike_c: it does smell
to some.
mircea_popescu: moar like, "welcome
to we also use windows, because stupidity doesn't stink, nor hurt."
mike_c: i believe it. welcome
to life under a
thumb.
mircea_popescu: mike_c amusingly enough, it's exactly
the same process (dressed in different words)
that your average romanian inkeep uses
to keep
the average romanian wench working under
the
table.
mike_c: certainly. just saying,
that's how
they avoid granting
them on day 1 of employment.
ben_vulpes: at least
they're serious about not
trying
to recruit
the "best! brightest!"
mircea_popescu: mike_c ben_vulpes it's a
thoroughly broken, dysfunctional and nonsensical model, andja know it.
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: d00d,
there are 0 ride or die niggas in Argentina?
ben_vulpes: oh
the board doesn't have
their shit
together with regards
to
the employee pool?
mike_c: the company has
to do a 409a valuation
to set
the price
mike_c: ben_vulpes: option grants must be approved by
the board.
mircea_popescu: you can't find five argentines
to rob a bank with, let alone do actual work.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
that's not even
the problem.
the problem is
that argentina has no school, and so either it uses us educated iditos, or else what, get
the russians in ?
ben_vulpes: i suppose you people also don't ask
to see
the cap
table, and when
told "that's privileged" don't
turn around and walk out.
