Namworld: That's a very retarded issue tho...
Namworld: On the upside, the temperature has never been this stable!
Namworld: It doesn't fade into background noise since it doesn't last long enough. And it doesn't alternates often enough to appear as a single noise.
Namworld: But "pfizzzzzzzzzzzzzzz ......................" cycle every 10 seconds just seems impossible to ignore.
Namworld: If it stayed on then off every 5-10 minutes... okay...
Namworld: It's completly keeping me from sleeping. I'll have to turn it off.
Namworld: I got a new electronic thermostat and the heater in the room makes a faint but very strident noise. The problem is the new thermostat alternates the heater on/off every 5 seconds. Not often enough or infrequently enough to fade off to not notice it.

kakobreklaaa: lemme take a guess, lost pgp key
Namworld: I've got the most stupid issue ever...

amidvidy: as Immanuel Kant once said, if the answer isn't googleable, the question isn't worth asking
amidvidy: I use stack overflow for all my critical thinking needs
Vexual: are you taking critical thinking too?
asciilifeform: what they won't teach you is that all of this crap can be made to vanish.
amidvidy: a recent systems course I took hammered that point in quite hard by having us read Google's "Paxos Made Live" paper
asciilifeform: amidvidy: this fact is not 'sexy', but it takes quite a bit of work to go from algo to usable software. (why this happens to be so, is largely the subject of my blog)
amidvidy: The author also wrote kademlia, this is his effort to design a DHT that is resistant to Sybil attacks

amidvidy: asciilifeform: I think I agree with you at a high level, that may be useless to try to reconstruct btc-based analogs of traditional institutions. That said, I think a p2p exchange could be useful
truffles: who wouldve thought that 1 up, dildo's and aging
mircea_popescu: currencies naturally tend to decentralise, which is why things like forgers. markets always and since forever centralise. tis what they do and not distinct from their actual utility.
mircea_popescu: you're not gonna get the decentralised market that's trustless any more than you're going to get the two dimensional dildo that cures aging
asciilifeform: but it would have to be written by something other than muppets.
mircea_popescu: supernodes eh. amidvidy are you also new to bitcoin enough to not have been exposed to the adventures of uppity tortilla ?
asciilifeform: and i stand by my hypothesis, that a p2p whatever might be interesting and useful, if not a replacement for any currently-existing widget as such
mircea_popescu: they could suck a planet throught a gardenhose.
asciilifeform: well, to be fair, the thing i declared to suck - the lamers - continue to suck mightily.
