mircea_popescu: this is not a fair statement. modern "western world" / "our democracy" is what you get when girls are ineptly forced to shoulder the WHOLE task.
mircea_popescu: (for the innocent - deepthroat, a movie of dubious pornographic merits, was produced by the mob and released through the mob's own wot. that you saw it in the 70s meant you were cool, period and full stop. even if you saw it in between gangbangs as an american version of carol.)
mircea_popescu: ceteris paribus i'd rather take a clueless teen than the confused twentysomething she naturally produces.
mircea_popescu: there's a dubious romanian film, "the death of mr lazarescu", in which a very professional doctor sends the orderlies to take the man out for a half hour spin until his subdural hematoma has progressed to a state where it's worth his scalpel.
mircea_popescu: and similarily with math, and with other things. there's some leakage.
mircea_popescu: the girlies that didn't get to see deepthroat but worshipped "stars".
mircea_popescu: to make the story round, alf : there is ample record, not just re antinisca nemour's stinky feet, but in general regarding the women of the 70s and before. they didn't wash. what i have to deal with today in say
http://btcbase.org/log/2016-09-08#1537246 is the tail end of a half century process that BEGAN with exactly this, "sharing the fruits of industry", in this case hollywood, with people unfit to make the wot lists. all
☝︎ mircea_popescu: (it is also in the end the mother-father distinction ; mother permits at least some interaction on the infant's own terms.)
mircea_popescu: it is one thing to not permit the infantile to interact with you ~on their own terms~. this, i wholeheartedly support. it is quite another thing however to not permit the ifnantile to interact with you at all. this is insupportable.
mircea_popescu: eventually you will find that something somewhere still heats your room.
mircea_popescu: for the other side of the matter, if you never take dumb 15 yos out for a night on the town, whence the crop of 19yo accomplished cocksuckers is to come ?
mircea_popescu: the limit on "smallest bitcoin payment" is very emphatically NOT in the user's hands.
mircea_popescu: the solution is either an improvement in the technology (such as, going from bdb to bfs as discussed here etc), which will lower it somewhat, or otherwise the indicated : stop being poor.
mircea_popescu: "but if i make mircoscope, and monkeys - use it for a hammer - what's to do."
mircea_popescu: so you're in favour of the m design rather than the ak.
mircea_popescu: it's not altogether clear to me how such a thing is an improvement over "just run your current trb through the future gossipd"
mircea_popescu: incredibly, mindblowingly, the dog's expression was EXACTLY that of a very bored girlfriend/wife. how the fuck is this even possbile is beyond me.
mircea_popescu: i used to think this is principally a figure of speech, then i saw a dude fucking a misfortunate husky.
mircea_popescu: yeah, i suppose that's why you never went to any wash dc orgies. but lots of people find the promise sufficient.
mircea_popescu: people LIKE stranger's skin, way the fuck more than they like their spouses.
mircea_popescu: "marriage gives real bang for the buck, like the complete abolition of foam parties and blindfold orgies"
mircea_popescu: (pro tip : 90% of design work must be spent in the above loop.)
mircea_popescu: what odds do you give it this entire infrastructure of detectable unopposable broken promisery will be jetissoned at first opportunity by everyone involved ?
mircea_popescu: but bitcoin is a lot more promiscuous about it. you want marriage, bitcoin does the "handjob in theatre / quick fuck alley behind bar" thing
mircea_popescu: i think the notion is generallyt accepted, under the broad heading "bitcoin is a prototype"
mircea_popescu: showing woman another light in which her current husband appears a shitbag does not give her a new husband.
mircea_popescu: yes, well, all it needs to show is that it is a problem. you don't get to unproblem it.
mircea_popescu: depends what people do with it. it's very hard to predict such stuff.
mircea_popescu: well, i keep recurring this problem / most everyone is eager to glaze eyes and move on.
mircea_popescu: you can add any decimals you want -- you can not make them work.
mircea_popescu: practically speaking on current tech the bitcoin unit of account is probably something like 0.25
☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: the (false!) theory that the bitcoin unit of account is the 0.00000001 btc or satoshi is based on the batshit insane theory that a system could ever be devised that would track 21 million hundred million individual 512byte outputs.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: i thought i made it clear that's nonsense, but to revisit :
mircea_popescu: but the fixation on collecting the dust is quite akin to the fixation on "collecting the water" in a spaceship, or for that matter with the fixation on "retaining the atmosphere" on planet earth. venus, see, didn't so much care about its dust.
mircea_popescu: see... irl exact same thing happens, people throw it out until one day.
mircea_popescu: and then turned around and mined the garbage dump for it.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform suppose i have a wallet full of dust. how do i resolve the problem ? count dust / 2 txn in sqrt(count dust) tranches ?
mircea_popescu: which was the topic of yesterday's comments or w/e we talked about that.
mircea_popescu: but it would ~seem~ that if you do this, then you should put in the work and make a ~proper~ ring signature scheme.
mircea_popescu: 2 in 2 out is the correct primitive, even if oyu want to move 11.
mircea_popescu: forcing all txn to be 2 in 2 out is a poor man's ring signature i guess.
mircea_popescu: there's a reason i said 2 in 2 out. anything else is either nonmoving (1-2) or else tree pruning (2:1 ends up with a single coinbase ; 1:2 ends up with an infinity of satoshi sized coinbases you might as well stop lying about and issue outright)
mircea_popescu: all the rest, that he used boost, or bdb or qt, or that he doesn't know how to design or that he scratched his name in the lens can be fixed
mircea_popescu: yes, which is at least to my eyes the major objective source of satoshi bitcoin braindamage.
mircea_popescu: see, a market is a thing of itself, not a sort of air that fills crevices you leave, but a sort of magnetic field, goes where it goes.
mircea_popescu: you can still have a market. "cost of spill vs cost of fill"
mircea_popescu: same way you have a market with price lists for restaurants.
mircea_popescu: well yes. cask comes with "and this much in fee", write your tx for it or return the cask.
mircea_popescu: this is hinged for no apparent reason, decorative element.
mircea_popescu: both result in your not eating soup, but that as it may.
mircea_popescu: the rot where i shit in the soup and the rot where the soup is "too expensive" iyo are not the same rot.
mircea_popescu: well, i dunno which it is, but saying for future generations of sluts.
mircea_popescu: you can't go around picking some random parts of your spec to disavow. you put it in there.
mircea_popescu: understand, the principle is naturalia non sunt turpia. what this means is, that if the girl MUST go on her knees and cover her own face in semen while looking up at you, then THEREFORE it CAN NOT be "a shameful act" for a woman on her knees to cover her own face in semen while looking up.
mircea_popescu: well, i read your attitude as rather negative to it. but okay.
mircea_popescu: this is not a merit but a dismerit of the design, as such.
mircea_popescu: which in practice i will resolve by always overissuing by (1+sqrt(2) )*that percent.
mircea_popescu: i must ensure i get 1k filled casks for it ; but if nodes can return casks at any time, i will ALWAYS have a % of casks returned too late.
mircea_popescu: but they must be because i am working on block n with 1k holes in it./
mircea_popescu: FOR ME however, and unbeknownst to them, this is becoming a crunch.
mircea_popescu: 90 get returned AGAIN. fair deal, as far as the nodes are concerned, ie the distant cousins did nothing else nor anything worse than the original 1k.
mircea_popescu: i now issue 300 more casks, to 300 more "distant cousin" nodes.
