BingoBoingo: I mean fucking Jared Kenna having a renaissance and Homero Garza stepping in fresh off of ripping some New England mountain
towns for WiFi?
BingoBoingo: I dun imagine
too many people of
the kind in a position
to support a leader. Still hurts when Ver blows his credibility on Gox's final days giving
the scammer crowd room
to pretend
ther are Bitcoin 'Murica old hands.
mircea_popescu: well, i dunno how many people were seriously
taking ver for some sort of leader.
BingoBoingo: Basically
the story of everyone finding about Roger Ver's firecrackers and Uncle Shrem's bong.
BingoBoingo: screams
that
the West gate fell, and
this is
the last hour.
BingoBoingo: And yet...
the noise does not abate, but grows, and as it grows
there's silence growing in
the great hall
too, under
the marble arches, over
the limpid pools.
The emperor bids his guests eat, but
they swallow knots, he bids
them merry, but
the one courtly concubine
that starts
to
talk,
trying
to
tell a joke, runs hoarse. And
then, a centurion busts in, a different sort of man. Rugged, bearded, covered in soot and dried blood, he
mircea_popescu: if you've seen american century x,
there's
that moment when norton's character finds out
the old dude was really in prison for fraud.
pete_dushenski: i only saw
the play. and while it was a splendid rendition, it was also some
time ago. but i gets it nao!
mircea_popescu: palatial moment. when
the derps in -dev discover
that well... gavin isn't really into bitcoin.
mircea_popescu: you know when
the "guard of
the revolution" discovers
that
their supreme leader isn't really into
the revolution at all ?
that
thing.
BingoBoingo: That one's just my default
thought when MP says palace or palatial, because we all know MP prefers a bunch of apartments spread around
town
to a single palace. Decentralize all of
the residence!!!
mircea_popescu: but i was
thinking more of
the moment when
the color revolutionaries discxover
their leader is really a sort of adonis.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Emperor Eunuch and
the Barbarians
ziishu: lazy :) I was just
thinking it would be a good idea
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu BingoBoingo i see i have some reading
to catch up on :)
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski you know when
the retarded horse discovers
that
the pigs are actually having fun in
the pig room ?
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: You know from
that movie plot Mp mposted
to
trilema
mircea_popescu: methinks
the fake foundation derps are having a serious palatial moment
these days.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile, gavin hasn't been on #bitcoin-dev in
the past
two weeks, and was mentioned maybe a coupla
times in
the interval.
BingoBoingo: Seriously
though what is
this forced prevention of address reuse bullshit. Spz I recieve at address, spend from and input
there, happen
to recieve
there again... Anything
that prevents spending
the later balances recieved is an attack.
pete_dushenski: maybe we should also make mining free, and use
the scrypt fairness algorithm
mircea_popescu: blockbitsCan't wait until we have 20MB blocks. I've developed a easy
to use web front-end for people
to upload files
to
the blockchain, using scriptsigs
to store data.
they can retrieve files by simply pasting any
TX. I've put aside a few hundreds
thousand dollars
to pay mining pools
to mine my non-standard
tx's for free. I was hoping we can increase
the block size
to 200MB... please make it as big as possible, my dat
mircea_popescu: dgenr8how about using
the world's biggest bloom filter
to prevent address reuse? it wouldn't add much
to storage requirements
mircea_popescu: this discussion is reminding mircea_popescu
to go check on
the "oh, we are economists, looking before we leap,
there's a small minority disagreeing" crowd
mircea_popescu: nah,
themarketing cocksuckers give
themselves
tons of
trophies
mircea_popescu: i get really indignant when marketeers
try
to sell spuriousness,
pete_dushenski: they're far better served "reading" mattise
than body scans
mircea_popescu: at least
the computing
turdmeisters don't (yet) prove systemd superiority by photographic cpus with
tomograph units
pete_dushenski: not, as greene suggests, with
typical progressive socialist lenses, "improving out
thinking"
mircea_popescu: i really like
these "academics" whose contribution
to
the world consists on "this model is supported by
the fact
that brain area activation"
pete_dushenski: sure,
the point being
that
there are an infinite number of ways
they cannot work, and a few
that
they can
mircea_popescu: also,
they can not work without well organised oppression.
pete_dushenski: "Professor of Psychology and Director of
the Moral Cognition Lab at Harvard University"
pete_dushenski: hey, prejudice exists specifically because you're "reunited". << heh. i made a similar point in
the soviet-harvard article
mircea_popescu: i dunno dood. do appeals
to "ignore"
the crying child rather
than smack him over
the head make crying children less common or more common ?
assbot: It’s called
the Soviet-HARVARD illusion for a reason and
that reason is Joshua Greene. | Contravex: A blog by Pete Dushenski ... (

pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu
that is/are correction, where was
that from? i couldn't place it
mircea_popescu: check it out,they killed another muslim guy. is
this allowed ?!
mircea_popescu: "Selon le procureur, deux policiers ont également étés
tués par les assaillants. L'un, le brigadier Franck Brinsolaro, du Service de la protection (SDLP, ex-SPHP) était chargé de la sécurité de Charb, selon des sources syndicales policières. L'autre, Ahmed Merabet, a été
tué à l'extérieur, alors que les assaillants prenaient la fuite."
mircea_popescu: decimation really,
this entire anonimity
thing is moot. what exactly is going
to happen ?
mircea_popescu: Le
troisième homme recherché, âgé de 18 ans, s'est rendu dans la nuit au commissariat de Charleville-Mézières, dans les Ardennes.
decimation: well,
there's also
the
thought of puttint it all on
tcp port 80 and putting fake
http headers
mircea_popescu: try
the experiment, send handskakes
to random hosts on port 1337
decimation: it's
true
that if
the network can be scaled
this is less of a concern
decimation: asciilifeform: right, but
the intervening routers know
the ip addresses of
the cells
mircea_popescu: decimation
the graph is very flat, with 100s of connections. you will have
to squeeze a large fraction
to disrupt anything.
decimation: third parties (required for routing packets) would know whose necks
to squeeze
decimation: so it seems
to me
that
this 'cell'
topology is vulnerable in
the sense
that it is obvious who is relaying packets
mircea_popescu: Al-Azhar University in Cairo, Sunni Islam's leading centre of learning, called
the attack "criminal" and said "Islam denounces any violence".
mircea_popescu: ovbiously,
the result of
this is not concentration camps for all muslims indiscriminately, because... well...
mircea_popescu: only an important point when discussing which side
to give arms
to ?
mircea_popescu: anyway, which kind of evil sand niggers were
these ?
the irani like or
the saudi like ?
