mircea_popescu: maybe it's
the revenge of
the bfls,
to make a blf-esque
two weeks.
mircea_popescu: if
this block
takes like 6 hours and diff fails
to recalibrate we might have a four month
two weeks coming up
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves in fact if an attacker was
trying
to cause
trouble by pushing diff up, he would normally
turn all his power off right before a recalibration block
ThickAsThieves: maybe it's related
to
the downturn in nethash, was like 500TH
that went away and came back last week
mircea_popescu: plug in your gpus brothars, we're going back
to 1mn diff
mircea_popescu: lol maybe all
the asics were sikritly hardcoded
to die on block 270143
benkay: how similar is
this
to
the
thing
that happens
to altcoins where
the difficulty gets railed and nobody can generate blocks again?
nubbins`: maybe all
the usb block erupters went on strike ;)
benkay: i gather
the gem chasers have yet

nubbins`: guess
they're "unisex" in practice, if not in fit
pankkake: yeah. or
they are malicious perhaps, as it must be used for something?
Apocalyptic: hum, so miners have a little offset on
their clock ?
pankkake: Apocalyptic: no
that would only affect
the
time you get
them, not
the
timestamp written in
the block
Apocalyptic: when next block are found fast enough and somehow relayed before
the preceeding one
pankkake: I don't know what are
timestamps are used for, but it's not
the first
time I see
the next block being
timed before
the previous
pankkake: oh its
timestamp is going backwards
pankkake: something is weird, because
that block isn't
that old
mircea_popescu: what fascinates me is
that it somehow calculates
the
time and it goes down
pankkake: you get more given how close you are
to
the predicted value
mircea_popescu: you know
the military guy in seinfeld ? freaks elaine
to all shit ?
Apocalyptic: "We all have backgrounds in engineering and electronics disciplines, as well as military security, and physics." I wonder who did

TSA, how do we know he has no prostate cancer
then?
pankkake: I hadn't seen
that WoT link before. added
to my list!

too
mircea_popescu: You're out of your depth, and
this isn't going
to fly."
mircea_popescu: "So basically, you've read not a
thing, you have no idea what's what, and in
the fantasy world in which you reside,
the likely most public person in Bitcoin is anonymous, MPOE is a service, and you don't have
to show
that you're competent because your family is nice.
mircea_popescu: i
thought
the girl does an admirable job of shredding him.
pankkake: it looks like everytime I go
to sleep it gains $100

to have it continue with all
those No. I don't have much

mircea_popescu: holy hell,
the us government has officially collapsed.
mircea_popescu: Insurance companies are looking
to
take matters into
their own hands, asking
the government for a way
to bypass
the system
to
take on
those who qualify for subsidies.
That would require access
to federal information on people's subsidy entitlements, and officials are worried about privacy violations.
mircea_popescu: In 376
the East faced an enormous barbarian influx across
the Danube, mostly Goths who were refugees from
the Huns.
They were exploited by corrupt officials rather
than effectively resettled, and
they
took up arms, joined by more Goths and by some Alans and Huns. Valens was in Asia with his main field army, preparing for an assault on
the Persians
mircea_popescu: yes. for
that matter depleted uranium is basically free
jurov: ah but it is is extracted from nuclear fuel rods, not made by
transmutation

mircea_popescu: the internet is
this fascinating window into
the endless wtf
that other people's ideas of
their own accomplishments are.
mircea_popescu: "How would you go about handling a friend whose secretly jealous off my success with women. He’s always
trying his luck with women i had or currently involved with. But he didn’t bang any of
the sluts in my harlem yet."

that even
the MSM is so bad
these days,
they can't even be bothered
