pete_dushenski: i meant on
the blog.. but i see where you're going. i'll drop him a
twit.
mircea_popescu: my
twitter's dead and i don't feel like social media anyway
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu lol will do. i remember
that article well.
assbot: The future of Bitcoin regulation pe
Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
mircea_popescu: MITRE Partners with University System of Maryland
to Operate New Cybersecurity R&D Center for
the National Institute of Standards and
Technology ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform and check out
the cve link for details, going straight
to an unmaintained dump page.
mod6: just putting it out
there.
mircea_popescu: pick among
these according
to which bias (early, late) you want
mircea_popescu: othernubs` you'll never get
there. but anyway : 0.6.3 most recent acceptable ; 0.5.3 i guess, earliest acceptable.
othernubs`: Apocalyptic, i'm attempting
to guide
the conversation
towards stating what is and isn't desired in
the codebase
mircea_popescu: <othernubs`> publishing job in danger of morphing into coding job <<< nubsy has antennae, and
they're
tuned for danger!
othernubs`: he creates raw
tx using node.js script and sends
to network via blockchain.info broadcast
Apocalyptic: othernubs`, you're seriously suggesting using
the "current" release ?
othernubs`: ...is anyone able
to express succinctly yet accurately why current release isn't okay?
mircea_popescu: <ben_vulpes> <mircea_popescu> anyway,
the consensus seems
to be 6.3 ? << i've yet
to hear a compelling argument for anything past 0.5.3 << ok, so 5.4
othernubs`: let's get some big miners
to give up
their secret sauce
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: what release are you
targeting?
ben_vulpes: another reason
this damn platform's doomed
ben_vulpes: getting command line functionality on os x has been a headache every
time i
tried it
othernubs`: well, bv says 0.5.3 is minimum
that will work
othernubs`: maybe we start with defining what's in current
that we don't want
mod6: it's in
the pastes.
othernubs`: so we'll split
the difference between 0.5.3 and 0.6.3, go with 0.5.8
mod6: ben_vulpes: so
the main issue was
the deps so far. i went
to
the deb site and it gave me some
to add
to
the sources.list, but didn't seem
to help. i can
try something different
tomorrow if you have suggestions.
ben_vulpes: but when you're
taught
that
the right solution
to all problems is
to do it by hand, with
the
tools handed one by authority, unlearning
that is hard
ben_vulpes: i: solved quadratics by hand because programming solvers was
taught
to me
to be cheating
ben_vulpes: well, consider all
the
things i've been unlearning
ben_vulpes: but i don't see any roadblocks at
this
time.
ben_vulpes: i still depend on
the qt client. need
to come up with a workflow
that works for
the 0.5.3 client.
ben_vulpes: i'm
transitioning backwards asciilifeform
ben_vulpes: <mircea_popescu> anyway,
the consensus seems
to be 6.3 ? << i've yet
to hear a compelling argument for anything past 0.5.3
ben_vulpes: although let's be clear, i was just browsing
the release notes. if
there were breaking changes merged in since
then,
this'd be a lulzy way
to surface
them.
decimation: russia has lots of white people and lots of resources, asians
too
mircea_popescu: this is no figure of speech either. in 1992ish, plenty of romanians working for
the state made ~1.20 dollars a day
assbot: List of countries by GDP (nominal) - Wikipedia,
the free encyclopedia
mircea_popescu: russia moved from 1990
to 2010 about as much as china moved from 1980
to 2005.
decimation: yeah it was
the sane move. russia has a sad economy but enormous natural reserves,
they should price
their money like kuwait
mircea_popescu: which is actually
the major bargaining chip with
the eu, not stupid produce import bans
mircea_popescu: trade deal (that circumvents
the US dollar). In comparison,
the US is a dead man walking: unless it can continue rolling over
trillions of dollars in short-term debt every month at record-low interest rates, it won't be able
to pay
the interest on its debt or its bills.
mircea_popescu: Financially, Russia's position is so solid
that even
the
three Western credit ratings agencies don't have
the gall
to downgrade Russia's rating, sanctions notwithstanding.
This is a country
that is aggressively paying down its foreign debt, is running a record-high budget surplus, has a positive balance of payments, is piling up physical gold reserves, and not a month goes by
that it doesn't sign a major international
decimation: to paraphrase mr. yarvin, every asset must pass
through
the bitcoin-hole
mircea_popescu: it's not a matter of bankruptcy anyway. so debt is senior
to equity, facebook implodes leaving a 60 bn hole, what's going
to be sold ? watsapp ?
decimation: well, I guess
the law of bankruptcy handed down from
the ancients is
that debt is senior
to equity
mircea_popescu: decimation nah,
they still have
the ability
to choose one.
decimation: mircea_popescu: it strikes me
that if rates are hiked both stocks and bonds would
take a hit
mircea_popescu: w. joyce was not particularly luxurious for
that matter.
assbot: BitBet - Bitcoin
to drop under $200 before December :: 2.03 B (10%) on Yes, 17.33 B (90%) on No | closed 3 hours 46 minutes ago
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform anything can be obtained from "the internet". obviously. knowing what
to obtain however...
mircea_popescu: anyway, anyone want
to bet on whether
the stock or
the bond market will
take it in
the ass ?
thatr's
the major debate in washnington atm. stocks are basically
the young libtards, bonds
the old ones.
undata: mod6: nah
that wouldn't be general across distros
