kakobrekla: doesnt p2pool solve this already?
kakobrekla: 18:40.43 ( mircea_popescu ) about the ddoses : i suspect bitcoin mining will fundamentally change the way internet adressing works.
mod6: don't destroy the universe!
saulimus: is there a precise time announced when btct will disable trading?
mircea_popescu: bother all the cats.
nubbins`: now, if you'll excuse me, i'm told there is a cat in my bed that i must go bother
nubbins`: take consolation in the fact that they're quietly worrying while hitting F5 on /r/bitcoin
mircea_popescu: lol pity the forum isn't up so i could forcefeed everyone -pr's buffett quote
nubbins`: not just today, of course
nubbins`: yeah, lots of sad pandas with usb block erupters today
gribble: Next difficulty estimate | 280954568.202 based on data since last change | 212713646.91 based on data for last three days
mircea_popescu: it's how mining works too.
nubbins`: that's probably what i'm going to do, fyi
nubbins`: arguably i could exclude all such cases and still win a fat bounty if nobody produces evidence that i left out any rulings
mircea_popescu: arguably the part where privacy is touched upon without being specifically said so is more important than the other.
mircea_popescu: if Joe is ordered to produce the letter Moe sent him during discovery of Jane's divorce,
mircea_popescu: yes they are.
nubbins`: i mean, they can talk all they want about communications in any written form, but unless the word "privacy" or "private" comes up, they're not really discussing privacy, are they?
nubbins`: can a court visit the issue of privacy without using the word, though?
mircea_popescu: but otherwise you kinda have to skim the complaints
nubbins`: yeah, that removed most of the chaff
mircea_popescu: you can sort to exclude cases where govt is not a party, and maybe cases where no persons are parties,
mircea_popescu: i don't think there's any way to avoid going through his caselist
mircea_popescu: broadly construed so as to include anything relating to the production of communications of private persons in any written for
nubbins`: but i suspect that the number of said rulings would be vanishingly small
nubbins`: to be fair, i used the word "privacy" as a search qualifier, so i may have missed privacy-related rulings that did not use the word "privacy"
mircea_popescu: well as long as he still issued rulings, you wan them
nubbins`: i mean, some of these judges are still judges
nubbins`: this is going to be a very small list
mircea_popescu: obviously if they become a senator it's moot
benkay_: mod6 it's not a permanent thing
nubbins`: ^^^ is this restricted to the period of time when they were a magistrate judge?
nubbins`: party, with proper case reference by number and where available link to published court proceedings"
nubbins`: "And then for each of these individually compile a record showing all their rulings, orders and decisions which in any way touched upon individual rights of privacy, broadly construed so as to include anything relating to the production of communications of private persons in any written form, limited to an adversarial proceeding in which the US Government, or any agency or representative thereof w
mod6: i kinda think the idea of the urbit ship being virtual real estate. Can only be transfered 9 times before it has no value.
mod6: I don't wanna get too far off course just yet. Gotta wrap up this current bitotter work and get further along with my look into cramer-shoup
KRS1: oh cool complimentary trilema articles
mod6: This thing is pretty neat, might take me some time to learn hoon tho.
mod6: I just saw that. :)
mircea_popescu: mod6 http://trilema.com/2013/so-this-urbit-thing/ might interest you then
Namworld: 1 month to fall to 1/30th of price
nubbins`: anyway, fun task
mircea_popescu: still gets allocated to you
nubbins`: anyway, i probably precluded myself from any of that bounty by posting that info so early
nubbins`: a ton of them got appointed by clinton in late oct 1993
mircea_popescu: i thought they get appointed by the court itself
mircea_popescu: it's the presidentially appointed
mircea_popescu: The directory includes the biographies of judges presidentially appointed during good behavior who have served since 1789 on the U.S. District Courts, the U.S. Courts of Appeals, the Supreme Court of the United States, the former U.S. Circuit Courts, and the federal judiciary's courts of special jurisdiction.
nubbins`: "Bankruptcy and Magistrate service" is the final column
nubbins`: i guess there are other types of judges besides magistrate judges
nubbins`: i know, that's not even one per state
nubbins`: n/m, there we go
nubbins`: hmm, been on the page for a good 10 minutes now
mircea_popescu: you need to give it a few seconds after you load a page, otherwise if you just paste shit in
nubbins`: mircea_popescu: i've got a list of magistrate judges that were serving in 1993, but your blog thinks i'm a robot.
mod6: this urbit thing is neato
mircea_popescu: basically, let's take all the reason people don't use forth and add mud.
jurov: and thus make provably correct hardware
jurov: in , say, 500 transistors
jurov: yea i know it's originally from him.. and i understood so far he sems to intend to implement some
mircea_popescu: jurov for the record, i'm not pushing it, asciilifeform is pushing it. imo the guy's walking around with shoes too large for his feet. but anyway.
mircea_popescu: if they don't it's the little room for them.
jurov: mircea i read that yest, had brain meltdown, filed it for later
ozbot: Urbit - Tea at the Palaz of Hoon
pankkake: I'm not sure I understand this analogy
mircea_popescu: was fondling this chick, accidentally touched the button, one hour later i was back on my feet.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla same thing happened to me earlier.
kakobrekla: fuckin microtik, pressed the wrong button, lost an hour of life.
mircea_popescu: if that indeed is how the chips fall i'll be quite impressed with satoshi's genius, for originally i thought the node pauyment problem was oversight.
mircea_popescu: you will be paid, by the miners who don't want to be ddos'd to shit.
mircea_popescu: my secret hope is that THIS is what will end up resolving the "not paid to convey tx" problem
mircea_popescu: the latter would be the ideal solution.
KRS1: wouldnt that make it more robust and less prone to failure
asciilifeform: nothing to ddos
asciilifeform: trivial solution: a kind of reverse mining pool, where people are paid small btc continuously to run single-purpose proxies
asciilifeform: the sad part is that this isn't even a hard problem.
mircea_popescu: this is much more of a problem for the future than anything the retardevs are fiddling with.
asciilifeform: when rats in a box, they eat each other, the last one dies of its wounds, and the box will eventually contain something else.
mircea_popescu: becomes very much lord of the flies.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yeah. which is why you can probably just start it and they'll pile in.
mircea_popescu: and quite frankly nothing else happening on the internet today matters by comparison, so it'll have to change.
asciilifeform: knocking the competing miner offline helps all of the survivors, not just you, though
mircea_popescu: never before has it actually been millions of dollars in cash for ddosing a target.
mircea_popescu: if you hold 10% of hashpower and another dork holds 10% of hashpower, you can either spend mns of dollars to add another 1% to your hashing or to knock him offline
mircea_popescu: the problem is that even if you aren't trying to do a 50% attack, it is now more lucrative to ddos someone than to increase your mining farm.
mircea_popescu: about the ddoses : i suspect bitcoin mining will fundamentally change the way internet adressing works.
asciilifeform: (impromptu hack of a translation from russian, originally of a persian rhyme, that i read as a kid.)
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: "I gave the fool an ax, so he would bring some twigs; so to the mosque he ran, and smashed the door to sticks."
VanCleef: amazing and the business part. - lol
VanCleef: < mircea_popescu> H<HpankkakeH>H so kenilworthnothing is a scam? << it's an amazing business minus the
mircea_popescu: anyway, forget about power rangers. here : The programmer’s wife tells him: “Run to the store and pick up a loaf of bread. If they have eggs, get a dozen.”. He comes back with 12 loaves of bread.
mircea_popescu: please pay attention to me because i hjave a proven track record of having accidentally forked the chain and i really suck at coding"
mircea_popescu: "certificates are shit but nevertheless i don't understand anything and really want to matter so here's my authoritative opinion on shit i really have no business discussing
mircea_popescu: jurov that dude is retarded jesus.
mircea_popescu: <pankkake> so kenilworthnothing is a scam? << it's an amazing business minus the amazing and the business part.
