jurov: actually as long as they focus on the mining tech race, it's fine
asciilifeform: was, as i understand, the hypothesis
bounce: which then causes extra rules and more bureaucrats "overseeing" the rules and whatnot. it's sort of scar tissue. about as useful, at least as much of a pain.
bounce: sheesh, that market report really provides zilch technology background. "biometrics for security" taken as valid on face value. of course, it's all about brand image, not technology. but if it's glaringly obvious that it doesn't work, it would be dishonest to tout it.
mircea_popescu: "Women want to have sex with the highest status men available (as women perceive male status, which is similar to the way a small evil child raised by cannibal head hunters perceives status) and be supported by men."
gribble: start [bitcoin assets wiki]: <http://wiki.bitcoin-assets.com/>; #bitcoin-assets log: <http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/>; Why the IRS Is Taxing Bitcoins as an Asset - The Motley Fool: <http://www.fool.com/investing/general/2014/03/26/why-the-irs-is-taxing-bitcoins-as-an-asset.aspx>
mircea_popescu: yeah, it's intended as a two week mindfuck.
ben_vulpes: <asciilifeform> who hasn't seen a sign, marked, 'notausgang' - emergency exit << read as "not a us gang"
decimation: that's pretty much the same as german
asciilifeform hasn't much to add, because to him whores may as well be those wonderful creatures that leave in the 'sea chimneys' at the bottom of the ocean.
asciilifeform: in usa, whore market, as i understand, has very tight coupling between product grade and price.
mircea_popescu: undata no. by acting as if the usg actually has some sort of power or importance.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform that being the only reason it still survives as a going concern.
asciilifeform: this is also known as 'every tumour stops growing eventually.'
decimation: asciilifeform: but the situation is even worse in the us, why do the 'thinking folk' seem to accept it as some kind of bedrock of civilization?
asciilifeform: 'property rights' of the pissants << gotta understand the inevitable reaction when people move a property boundary. and especially when they move it, as if they owned the universe, straight through your brain, wishing to cut off half
asciilifeform: ru folks (the thinking kind) collect warez as a matter of principle.
decimation: as in, no one recognizes the 'property rights' of the pissants?
decimation: it's interesting that they would go so far as to pay someone to attack sites
mircea_popescu: but as a general moral of the thing, one's best be careful to post on their blog trashing idiots like us* or else they risk appearing in victorious tweets like "oh noes, 5 economists reviewed this!!!", which is exactly how the empire works.
mircea_popescu: as in sometimes they do, more or less impredictably so.
ben_vulpes: as in p2p messages exceed 32mb in practice?
ben_vulpes: side note about the 32mb number: andresen claims that as the largest message that can be sent in a single bitcoin p2p message.
decimation: yeah I always liked konqueror becuase it would just open a file as an arg
ben_vulpes: bad search as a service
decimation: might as well wear a boot on your head and shout at strangers
mircea_popescu: as opposed to when ?
kakobrekla: as seen on youtube.
mircea_popescu: here's a funny story : i have a maid here. as maids do, she has decided on a sorting of items in my place and is enforcing it unless one tells her better. which is the great unknown and unsung power of the default.
asciilifeform: hammered as flat as possible
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: you drafted yourself as maintainer - perhaps do this
mircea_popescu: Bomber with a bomb, off to kill you! If you're not an idiot, you'll shoot it down. Either you do, or it kills you! If it kills you, this brave plane, then he's a brave patriot and you're just as idiotically dead. On the contrary... well... it's a sore plane. Very sore plane. Otherwise, he died a patriot, flying a bomb your way, wanting to kill you. But lucky for you - you weren't an idiot.
mircea_popescu: not nearly as nice.
asciilifeform: 'meow mix' as jar mouse.
asciilifeform: 'things can be made as simple as possible, not simpler.'
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: as kakobrekla pointed out, this cannot be established - at least, quite certainly not given the extant turd.
asciilifeform: (as on any sane build)
ben_vulpes: does UPNP removal count as a cosmetic change?
kakobrekla: > A single machine acting as a full node takes approximately 10 minutes to verify and process a 32 MB block, meaning that a 32 MB block size is near the maximum one could expect to handle with 1 machine acting as a full node < but how is a single machine going to catch up when it falls behind ? never ?
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: does "tree" entail "contrib" as well?
jurov: as long as each patch can be uniquely identified and paired with relevant sigs
asciilifeform: as with my example
asciilifeform: this is why i was so preoccupied (see yesterday's log) with keeping them as small as physically possible
TheNewDeal: what if you trick them as to which card?
asciilifeform: just include as config
TheNewDeal: it's mostly a ploy to get the women to drink as much as the men
nubbins`: budgeting 60 lines per page as a rough guide
TheNewDeal: in reference to the talk about nail guns before, they would definitely be useful as a weapon for inflicting fatal wounds, and they can be purchased at your local hardware store. my opinion
asciilifeform solved this by abolishing all non-ascii crud from package, would like to suggest this as a permanent condition
asciilifeform: anyone who can't build that one, has problems, given as it is almost virginal
asciilifeform: utility connections count as 'credit' in usa
asciilifeform: safest places i;'ve ever been in are convinced hteir problem is "security" << gedankenexperiment. who is likely to see a free-range lion as an irritant? inhabitant of savannah, or of new york where one escaped from zoo?
PinkPosixPXE: That shows a diagram of how it's assembled, and has an image gallery as well linked
asciilifeform reading logs, misread 'public key' as 'pubic key'
Adlai: even better, instead of water, drink water with ice + lemon, people think you're drinking twice as much alcohol and you can act twice as drunk
mircea_popescu: not just crapola generic alcohol with a label aded as they still do in the us.
undata: mircea_popescu: is plum liquor as delicious as it sounds?
mircea_popescu: his son is born as the son of the guy wioth the crown, and it can never can become quite the "whatever!" thing for him.
mircea_popescu: yeah, works for as long as it does.
mircea_popescu: use the api as is, not the api as you think it should be.
decimation: you might as well hope to push a lorry up a mountain
mircea_popescu: the media is... well... a shitpile, as per usual. what's a guy to do to find out ?
mircea_popescu: course the bitch of all time is that young women are exactly at an age when they're simultaneously a) unclear as to what they actually want and b) attractive. pretty much everyting about living things is made out of bottlenecks like that.
mircea_popescu: well, depends if she's the dependent sort of woman that lives as property of men or the independent sort that does not. for the latter your idea is scarcely a solution.
Mikayla: truce as bob. It was man.
PinkPosixPXE: In CCW training they really push the practice of grabbing your firearm as quickly as possible, and defending yourself as need be. Always keeping it in a specific spot most convenient for easy access.. etc.. just depends on the situation though.. Home vs. My car on the bad side of town..
undata: it's not as though I'd take joy in blowing some mentally ill guy away
PinkPosixPXE: Hope you can stay safe Mikayla, that sounds scary. Electric gate seem like a good idea, and dogs are great protectors, or at the very least alarm systems :). I should look into an electric gate, I want to setup a few security cams soon as well (despite living in a safe neighborhood, in my opinion, no where is truly safe).
mircea_popescu: the question as to exactly *how* assbot removes her voice is left as an exercise to the onanist.
HeySteve: if what they do is as bad as all that, perhaps satoshi will break radio silence again
mircea_popescu: simply leaving would be about as big a deal, but not nearly as lolproductive.
undata: mircea_popescu: my tits aren't nearly as impressive
decimation: "Much that went on in 3-US was not properly the business of Hut 3. Such questions, for example, as which individuals at American commands should be entitled to have access to Ultra, or what action should be taken on violations of security regulations at American commands-questions which on the British side were handled at Broadway Buildings-were normally handled in 3-US."
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform just like "us representatives" as a mythical set includes even you.
decimation: even something as simple as snipping out a few lines seems complicated
mircea_popescu: yeah well as the dead bodies clear it should be ok.
asciilifeform: decimation: 'secure' bitcoin branch, as well as the dependencies << lol, read his faq! usg linux!
cazalla: bitpay got back to me as well.. "I will be following up with our Legal department on Monday in regards to disclosing bitcoin addresses to law enforcement."
mircea_popescu sees it, as per usual.
PinkPosixPXE: "ganked, as we say in gangster slang"
decimation: asciilifeform et. al. it appears that this guy maintains a 'secure' bitcoin branch, as well as the dependencies: http://www.ringingliberty.com/bitcoin/
mircea_popescu suspects it's more valuable as a retrospective fitting than anything else
asciilifeform: if going for optical, better keep it edisonian. as in, helically-inscribed 1d barcode.
asciilifeform: no idea what it costs, other than the fact usg can get as many of these as it likes.
mircea_popescu: nobody's encouraging it. as long as it's there, people gotta keep tempest going.
asciilifeform: really belongs as a piped apparatus though
mircea_popescu: you can print just as well.
mircea_popescu: i'm the first to say that the only practicable way to run this is as a two machine, serial connected thing, so that's not changing.
mod6: and it's a great example. but it makes me nervous. cutting out stuff like that in something as poorly written as this is just ... frightning.
mircea_popescu: mod6 it's not happening, at all. but that notwithstanding, you do have a solid point, as a general thing. and 8 weeks is certainly narrower a frame than anything usgavin&co can do.
mod6: eh, yeah, these things are all great ideas. and necessary. but i think the best course of action is to get something up and working as a baseline with the most minimal changes possible so we have something to run when derpistan puts in the hardfork
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> asciilifeform mod6 actually, could it be made to work so as to simply spit specified streams as it runs ? << not 100% positive but it seems that some of the debug stuff almost does that when turned on fully.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform mod6 actually, could it be made to work so as to simply spit specified streams as it runs ?
mod6: so slashing out rpc coudln't have possibly been that easy. but it compiled and ran fine, it seems, just no way to get info without re-adding these options as command line args. that might take some time.
PeterL: as close as one could expect
mircea_popescu: the share is designed so as to work an interesting way.
mircea_popescu: anyway, i think as designed this share price is eminently modelable, to great modelling benefits
mircea_popescu: "A lot of people follow their own faiths. Most were indoctrinated since birth. That makes it very easy to believe the dogma. Yet, how in anybody’s right mind could they, as an adult, suddenly be told that the magic man in the sky says you need to start wearing a dress (even though you’re a dude), put your face on the ground five times a day and pray, and oh yeah, kill all the non-believers? Not happening to anybody
asciilifeform: as in the seed nodes
asciilifeform: jurov: cut -d ...... << be so kind as to include patch for CHICKEN instructions in your patch
