mircea_popescu: this isn't even not true.
asciilifeform: and the whole mass of the boot will count towards 'sentence formula'
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: lulzily , in ameristan they have the 'analogues act', i.e. anybody can be prosecuted, if they 'need to have problems', for, say, the glue in their chinese shoes, if need be
mircea_popescu: basically they're really really dedicated to dying in a bloc.
asciilifeform: iirc under obummer they even made inroads into making small arms blackmarket dependent on usg-controlled suppliers.
asciilifeform: aha 'start topology'(tm)(r)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform deintermediation, the universal inca goal. as per http://trilema.com/2015/why-representative-democracy-doesnt-work-and-doesnt-make-sense/
ben_vulpes: because it's not fentanyl, it's just-enough-different to escape prosecution in the orient and kill people in ameristan
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: nah, even worse/dumber. importing the fentanyl and mixing it poorly into things that look like heroin for street-resale
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: even these, are afaik now quite similar to the flower pot derp, typically just a d00d who works at pharmacy warehouse
ben_vulpes: and even that largely subsumed by .cn mailorder
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: the pot dealer is even an extinct species these days; gotta go buy fentanyl to make friends now
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: sorta the thrust behind the recent trend of 'pot legalizations' in usa -- succeeded in neutering the healthiest of the blackmarkets ( something like 1 in 5 zeks in usa, regularly pot )
Mocky: my experience, quite limited, was that ~only people dealing pot are pot heads who don't end making a dime
mircea_popescu: then you learn the much more important lesson that a car's worth of condom's worth the whole hruscheba, plus that hottie on 2F.
mircea_popescu: the same guy selling you pot, in a working world, will sell your car for you / introduce you to the people in austriturkey to buy condoms from and so on.
mircea_popescu: the whole fucking point of even having a black market economy is to destroy the system, hence all the o'brien comments on trilema.
mircea_popescu: here's the pro tip : everyone who made money in the 90s did so because of their "pot dealer" connections.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform disgusting tankworld.
asciilifeform: in current-day gringolandia, 'dealer' is no longer interesting connector to the world, but rather some d00d with two flower pots and fluorescent lamp in his cellar
mircea_popescu: but i mean... the ~only utility of even buying pot is getting to know the dealer.
asciilifeform: same folx presumably who bought the infamous $100M pizza
mircea_popescu: though when it comes to b), i suppose i should admit the girls keep getting offered roaches and tokes alllll the time. whole crowd whose only mode of socialisation seems to be, sharing mate uh i mean, pot-e.
mircea_popescu: you know, the total btc value i spent on pot the past decade is 0.00. because a) who the fuck buys pot for internet funbux, just... why! and b).
a111: Logged on 2018-06-20 15:41 FundsAreSafuh: The thrill of buying 60 BTC, and spending it all on cannabis. The exhilaration of learning PGP for the first time. The realization that FeedZeBirds was a scam.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-06-20#1827714 << roflmao what fucking thrills these guys got. i am starting to suspect i missed out. ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2018-06-20 15:20 FundsAreSafuh: the pursuit of knowledge, and an adoration for the great Mircea Popescu
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-06-20#1827698 << lmao i somehow missed this. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: she hates their freedoms.
mircea_popescu: rewatched http://trilema.com/2011/margin-call/ last nite ; hanbot was all "wtf is with these idiots, tax man takes 50% right off the top, and that's it ? no comment, not even a groan, not even 'how about you pay me the real amt you pay me rather than pretend double' zero ??" ☟︎
mircea_popescu: because it seems like 100% of the new world jews will.
mircea_popescu: i wonder what percentage of the old world jews actuallty went to the lime pit while managing imaginary financial empires the whole time.
mircea_popescu: zombie herd knows no such thing, on the long run. bridges over barbed water!
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: so far seems like they know that fence is electrified, mostly stayed off
mircea_popescu: but afaik they're not quite there yet.
a111: Logged on 2018-06-21 16:08 phf: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-06-21#1828005 << the closest we got to a replacement i believe was asciilifeform's shiva, i.e. a tinyscheme embedded into trb runtime. it was suggested as a useful exercise for novices to attempt to expose existing, useful rpc function using it, but there were no takers. at some point the idea of using shiva in prod also went away, because tinyscheme is not necessarily production ready (primarily because of C-ism issues). as
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-06-21#1828076 << phf in retrospect tinyscheme plugin was an ill-conceived thing. such item really calls for a troo adatronic scheme thing. ☝︎☟︎
a111: Logged on 2018-06-20 16:15 mircea_popescu: in other-same lulz, usg amping up the "upgrading" of "secure" http sites off the interwebs.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform and trinque isn't issuing them their 3bs. i suppose next step in http://btcbase.org/log/2018-06-20#1827722 security circus luls is "can't send bitcoin to proper bitcoin address, ITS INSECURE!!!" bullshit. ☝︎
trinque: when I've grunted out the cuntoo thing, next item in the pipeline is the hot wallet
mircea_popescu: can't do it when you pay to a proper addy.
mircea_popescu: but no, it's not like it's verboten to stand up a trb, god forbid.
mircea_popescu: Mocky so flush them via whatever, iirc blockchain.info sent correct ammt.
Mocky: ok well, thanks. hopefully that doesn't curse me. but also i "have" "bitcoin" in various dark markets that i want to actually own and I don't trust them to send accurate decimal to trinque's walletron ☟︎
mircea_popescu: (i hope we all now admire the wisdom of trinque, for having closed this hole for me lo these many years ago.)
Mocky: tru but how am to even have money without a wallet?
mircea_popescu: if you just run by whatever shines you'll get overwhelmed and then depressed at how the sand sucks effort with no visible return. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: yo Mocky , do the botting bs. i was going to tell you when to v it, and everything. not like you're alone here you know.
asciilifeform: Mocky: multiply blockheight by 1e6 to get a ceiling for estimated mass ( you will only ever be off by a small constant )
mircea_popescu: btw, everyone notice how every year by now there's one of these shockingly promising young squirts ? just, they keep coming earlier and earlier in the year.
Mocky: dun help til you know you need to search for it!
mircea_popescu: this is in the lawgs!
Mocky: blockchain's not gonna fit on this 250gb ssd is it. fuck
asciilifeform: 'that nerve moves left little toe now'
mircea_popescu: and you know what else went with it ? she can barely come. because yes, the cns is plasticine, but no it's not free plasticine.
mircea_popescu: i personally know a slut that lost the ability of being beaten for fun, through the mediation of her ducati and so many knee and hip surgeries she's immune to playpain.
Mocky: i a car the road can be full, on a bike you can still fit in there
Mocky: mircea_popescu, wooshing across 4 lanes in sub second is my kind of fun, I do this ~daily on motorcycle
mircea_popescu: but this reminds me, saw somewhere nice aquafort of 1918 major road here, then a river, beign crossed by bare legged girlies on oxcarts.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> but yes, this is how empires die. "yes we're aware this would sail right off if driven through in 3 feet of water, but the car's not rated for driving through 3 feet of water so it's ok." "right, but then the ramp that's not rated for flooding will flood, because etcetera in this vein, and there you are." << AHA, this happened to the plasticar
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: where do the donkey riders cross ?
mircea_popescu: their little toyota and toyota-like shits (which is 99% of mkt here) simply drown in half that.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform are you kidding me ? i found out later from workers we were the only ones to cross there.
asciilifeform: i'm not really surprised that bananistan has flooding ramps. oxcarts dun particularly care about water.
mircea_popescu: phf there were takers, mod6 working on rawtx recall ? ☟︎
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: quite troo. tho gelandewagen-style fat, synchronous wheels still better for drowned roads than autobahn limo.
mircea_popescu: the correct fucking solution, nevermind billiard whatever, is to not have floodable highway ramps. which is the largest chapter in highway ramp engineering book. not even kidding.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform driving through water is a major engineering problem though. unless specifically amphibian landing vehicle, ytou won't get it.
asciilifeform: Mocky: afaik those only exist in jp
Mocky: what, rear wheels steer too?
mircea_popescu: you can switch from driving leftmost lane this way to rightmost lane that way or rightmost lane this way to leftmost lane that way on a 4 lane road at ~100kmph in sub a second. just goes wooooosh.
asciilifeform: evidently it wants to live on clean, dry autobahn, smooth enuff for playing billiard.
mircea_popescu: probably ; but honestly i very much like this thing's turn. it specifically does 1-lane-over turning. very evidently was designed specifically for it.
phf: of right now new methods that people write are exposed through the old RPC still
a111: Logged on 2018-06-21 14:07 Mocky: I'm confused about trb rpc. Log search suggests for the first year+ of bitcoin foundation rpc was marked for death: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-02-28#1417175 but then there's dump / eat block based on rpc? Is this a new version of rpc, I don't see a new version announced on the mailing list. Can someone sum this up for me, I'm having trouble following the history.
phf: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-06-21#1828005 << the closest we got to a replacement i believe was asciilifeform's shiva, i.e. a tinyscheme embedded into trb runtime. it was suggested as a useful exercise for novices to attempt to expose existing, useful rpc function using it, but there were no takers. at some point the idea of using shiva in prod also went away, because tinyscheme is not necessarily production ready (primarily because of C-ism issues). as ☝︎☟︎

mircea_popescu: and this was years ago!
asciilifeform: iguess germany aint what it used to be
asciilifeform: sounds liek this bmw is of moar chinese build than my old tub even
mircea_popescu: nah, it rests on a larger plastic plate, which is plastic-fastened to the whole bumper assemblage.
asciilifeform: puzzler is why would it come loose to begin with.. water-soluble screws?!
mircea_popescu: anyway, point being, as girl was dialing the miracle worker for me, i was saying to her, "tomorrow you call the lawyer, apparently he's getting me new plates."
mircea_popescu: well, it does take like 8 liters of engine oil... but it's just a bmw.
mircea_popescu: nevertheles... not something you'd rely on, even if you had miracle-working groundskeepers at your beak and call. the correct approach is to NOT HAVE FLOODABLE HIGHWAY RAMPS OMFG
mircea_popescu: so i called teh empleado, sent him to fish my plate somehow, an hour later, when i finally noticed coming out of whorehouse.
mircea_popescu: in pleasantly surprised : yesterday driving through flood (it rained here like the end of hte world, 15cm+) car lost... the front fucking plate on a highway ramp, when water came as high as the windows.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: prolly you oughta test this experimentally, might be pleasantly surprised.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the above named promises to be, very much so.
a111: Logged on 2018-06-21 12:45 asciilifeform: of the mentioned libs, zlib is known to me to work under musltronic build; libmysqlclient i had not occasion to test
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-06-21#1827999 << a static mysql would be a thing in and of itself! could go in mp-wp too! ☝︎
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the main q is not re how many, but whether there is an 'emacs'-like boojum among'em. buildroot will just as happily build 9000 deps as 1.
a111: Logged on 2018-06-21 12:37 asciilifeform: i solved this same problem for trb -- i.e. building 100% musltronic proggy with '9000' deps , on a conventional box
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-06-21#1827994 << yes but this won't likely work here ; the dependency tree is like 10x trb's. ☝︎
Mocky: asciilifeform, re: rejects traditional concept of merge, to my eye this looks like 5 merges. are these non-traditional? ☟︎
asciilifeform: asciilifeform, mod6 , phf , ben_vulpes , trinque , ( and several other folx, who are not here, flunked out ) , have done this.
asciilifeform: Mocky: and the best 'intro course', is still to write, as exercise, your own implementation.
asciilifeform: Mocky: imho the best intro text re vtronics is still ben_vulpes's , http://cascadianhacker.com/07_v-tronics-101-a-gentle-introduction-to-the-most-serene-republic-of-bitcoins-cryptographically-backed-version-control-system
mircea_popescu: not "sometimes". every time.
asciilifeform: Mocky: occasionally you will stumble across the latter's mangled bones, in the logz.
