mircea_popescu: TheNewDeal: I consider that a decent step forward << lol gotta work
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: mega-lol. nato world tired of living? << from what i gather a little bit of epidemic doesn't look so bad up top. nice profits for pharma, might even get the country outta recession.
mircea_popescu: he's almost ninjashogun level, the way he goes everywhere, trying a pass or two of the same spun content.
assbot: How A Bigger Blockchain Is Less Secure And Why Block Size Ain’t Gonna Increase Any Time Soon | Contravex: A blog by Pete Dushenski
mircea_popescu: thickasthieves: excuse my ignorance, but cant the node cost problem be solved simply by running pay-node businesses? << zipf problem.
mircea_popescu: Daniel_Krawisz: Me neither. I would rather see the block size go up. If that creates a crisis of not enough full notes, then people are going to do something about that pretty quick I'd guess. <<< yeah, sure they will. specifically, sink the bitcoin lite resulting from the fork and sticking to the original.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla: i really trust him with 6 but motherfucker is already leading. << bwahahaha WAY AHEAD ☟︎
assbot: What the WoT is for, how it works and how to use it. pe Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
mircea_popescu: ;;later tell Daniel_Krawisz http://trilema.com/2014/what-the-wot-is-for-how-it-works-and-how-to-use-it/ "It is important to remember that the score associated to a relationship does not mark the direct trust of the scorer for the scoree, but merely the scorer’s confidence that the information he has about scoree is correct, accurate, relevant and complete. All four."
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla: i wouldnt give 10 to my mother << you don't know her like we do :D
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla: down for a minute and i get complaints. << depending on the recipient's age, going down for one minute may be all it takes.
mircea_popescu: more to it than that asciilifeform :D
asciilifeform: ;;later tell mircea_popescu a modern u.s. schoolboy may or may not get references like 'tammany bees' - sure.
decimation: princessnell: how goes the blogging these days?
decimation: as I wrote yesterday, one can always write a script to explore /sys/ if one wishes to understand how their devices are laid out
asciilifeform wishes he had time to investigate why manual described 'eudev' as 'a fork of system-udev'
dub: bit me hard back when rolling my own routers made sense, suddenly no way to predict which if was what on boot
asciilifeform: (anyone other than me?...)
asciilifeform: anyone who gives a damn, invited to test the question.
asciilifeform: actually atm not 100% sure if it's eudev, or patch to config of original (satanic) variant
decimation: so eudev restores the sane default of eth#
dub: ah yes, udev was the thing
decimation: that being said, I agree that init.d has way more miles than whatever craziness poettering is pushing
decimation: my point being that bash's shaky foundation has recently been revealed
asciilifeform: i prefer a goose feather pen and ink from tree bark - if that is the only way to be rid of poettering.
decimation: asciilifeform: I was going to make this point yesterday: you drive a stake in the heart of systemd because you prefer... bash?
decimation: republicans quell dissent by speaking against further handouts in public and in private slowrolling/diverting handouts to their own feeble interests
TheNewDeal: decimation , many conservatives do this as well
asciilifeform: (at least on the box in question)
asciilifeform: incidentally, that crap gets magicked away when you zap 'udev' (actually, the name - under modern gentoo - now refers to a satanic udev-systemd - and replace with 'eudev'.
decimation: democrats attempt to get more free stuff from productive people to their interested constituencies
decimation: actually the democrats/republicans are quite distinguishable and serve different purposes
TheNewDeal: I do agree with the US being a one party though
decimation: it's just that the parties to which those labels are applied rarely act in any other way than the status quo
TheNewDeal: not ideal, but they at least serve some purpose
dub: liberal and conservate don't mean anything more than libertarian does
decimation: Mr. Hand also guides the opposition into safe pasture
dub: you have a Guiding Hand whose system elects temporary emperors in a way designed to obfuscate it from the herd
dub: decimation: I don't really consider teh US as having a political system
mats_cd03: call me when you get him to trade the patty for gluten
TheNewDeal: but then again the salads at most places in the US aren't even healthy themselves. Covered with cheese, think mayo based "dressing," and a bunch of crutons
TheNewDeal: I consider that a decent step forward
TheNewDeal: Speaking of which, I was eating a salad in front of a colleague, and he decided to be healthy he was going to not eat the bun on his burger
mats_cd03: well its not like youll get america to eat salad instead of burgers
TheNewDeal: I don't want to lose that much!
asciilifeform: 'lose weight, shed limbs!' < how i always read the spam slogan 'lose weight, shed lbs'
asciilifeform: mats_cd03: in exactly the same way amputation is good weight control
mats_cd03: public health policy in the us is good enough to handle ebola
assbot: Disaster in the South Pacific « Isegoria
decimation: in 1918 usg policy was to stop border transit in case of disease: http://www.isegoria.net/2014/10/disaster-in-the-south-pacific/
decimation: http://flowingdata.com/2014/02/05/where-people-run/ << wow, no one jogs through anacostia, I'm shocked
decimation: dub: assets is gop sponsored chan << quote from gigantic comment thread in the red/blue post: "You shouldn’t be worried more people of the Red Tribe will start voting for Republicans, Republicans are your best friends, they pacify the Red Tribe. You should be worried when they stop voting Republican and your civil society fractures."
decimation: asciilifeform: it's more important to cater to democrat votebanks than to protect the general population from ebola
assbot: Why hasn’t the U.S. closed its airports to travelers from Ebola-ravaged countries? - The Washington Post
asciilifeform: http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/to-your-health/wp/2014/10/01/why-hasnt-the-u-s-closed-its-airports-to-travelers-from-ebola-ravaged-countries << mega-lol. nato world tired of living?

thickasthieves: but you dont need to fork bitcoin or whatever to do it
DanielKrawisz: Yeah, nodes should be able to use micropayments to charge one another for data.
thickasthieves: you could even charge by the size
danielpbarron: if no node fee, tx is ignored
thickasthieves: that way there is a symbiosis
thickasthieves: i kinda wonder if this might be an actual use for an altcoin though
danielpbarron: paste raw tx hex
danielpbarron: simple html form with a text blob and submit button
danielpbarron: thickasthieves, i had that idea too
thickasthieves: like send 1000sat and your tx will get relayed

thickasthieves: we built this city on rock n roll
thickasthieves: i'm having no part in a fork tho
Daniel_Krawisz: Oh, ok. Yeah, something needs to be done about that but I think it's a solvable problem.
thickasthieves: it's ever-increasing, increased the burden on nodes, and places pressure on the one leg of bitcoin that isnt properly compensated
Daniel_Krawisz: So I'm curious as to why mircea_popescu has been saying that an increased block size is a security problem. What's the issue here? (sorry, I suck at spelling)
