mircea_popescu: actually : the quality of the rng is the limit on the parallelization.
mircea_popescu: did your irc just write checks your mabha can't squash ?
mircea_popescu: blockchain technology chiefly consists of knowing when NOT to implement one.
mircea_popescu: if yes the system's unbound, if no then why the fuck even bother, just do otp from get-go.
mircea_popescu: trinque understand the problem with "I will also be piling up the signed material for my records" : if during your lifespan you manage to lose eg a 30yo hdd, because you've built a reviewable system those txn will be reviewable. are you on the hook now for refunds ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: contrairiwise, there's not a lbockchain, ie, ever-growing pile of signed data
mircea_popescu: i don't think there's anything fundamentally wrong with the otp approach as opposed to the signature approach tbh.
mircea_popescu: speaking of which trinque : it's somewhat dubious you send plain otps. you should send request.string+otp.
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron ie, you'd rather lobbesbot says something to deedbot, then !!v's ?
mircea_popescu: the whole point of republican activity being to leverage computing power to protect wetware circuitry as much as feasible and no more.
mircea_popescu: essentially. it allows to filter the flood at the gate. if invoices are not signed then deedbot has to talk to person any time an electric interaction happens ; if they are signed person can have whitelists, deedbot need only talk to person when meaningful occurs.
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron > dev/null/ except if there's something in there you want. then you're sol.
mircea_popescu: the problem with having unsigned invoices is that one morning you wake up and there's 2 ^ 64 invoices waiting for you.
mircea_popescu: it's a 3 party system, see, biller, billee and banker.
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron the only reason it's signed (by the bot) is so that deedbot can distinguish it from a spoof.
mircea_popescu: and yes, singer = intended recipient ; this way lobbes can make lobbesbot a deedbot account and get paid.
mircea_popescu: yeah trinque something like that. we'd have to nail down a permanent invoice format
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron it's an invoice. the idea is you pay to run an auction.
mircea_popescu: thatr's kind of the gain, since the bot is active minimum auction went from ~1mn ecu (bout 10 bux) to 5% that.
mircea_popescu: it's a fucking military march for chrissakes. has the last arranger left in this world died, forgotten and alone ?
mircea_popescu: what the everloving fuck is wrong with these dorks, from bocelli onwards. IT IS NOT A LYRICAL PIECE!!!
mircea_popescu: and in other "stop this motherfucking spaceship i want to get off", try and find a youtube tannenbaum that's not fucking lyrical to saccharine proportions.
mircea_popescu: "i can't see how crypto relates to me" is exactly how phantoms say "i think i mgiht be a phantom masquerading as a person". they're usually right, too.
mircea_popescu: for it to count it can't be denied, which comes down to, because michael flynn contains nothing, encryption doesn't help him in any way.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: the only reason they'd meet with him was if it would count ; much like the only reason you take kim's ass out is if you can then put it on your twinstagram
mircea_popescu: it's not like he was some sort of person, with whom you'd want to meet ~for him~. nobody wants to meet with michael flynn for michael flynn, and this includes his own offspring, let alone people who are actually somebody.
mircea_popescu: not really asciilifeform ; the russians made no secret of it.
mircea_popescu: if i wanted to be a girly just like my dear papa i might be more interested.
mircea_popescu: if you're going there to shoot people, you will be in a dome anyway.
mircea_popescu: there is no such thing as "climate made for white man". the thing with white man, unlike all other man, is that white man makes climate not the other way around.
mircea_popescu: eh. do you understand i produce about ONE QUARTER TON of water a week through diligent application of electric power in this god forsaken shithole ?
mircea_popescu: places inhabited by a thin sliver of idiots are essentially brackish water. canada, argentina, the us to a large extent. they're neither fucking nor will get off the pig.
mircea_popescu: anyway, i could never see the business case for canada.
mircea_popescu: except, he goes there to live. with woman. and small child. that MAY do something.
mircea_popescu: now, whether they kick you out once it settles down is indeed a toss-up, but eventually at some point you're going to have to take a chance.
mircea_popescu: nevertheless, the ~only place in the world with land worth buying that you can afford to buy today is ukraina.
mircea_popescu: contrary to press reports, "dangerous" places are never practically dangerous.
mircea_popescu: think for a second : ukraine is as large as texas. if someone were firing 1mn rounds each and every single day, that's still about one round each million square meters.
mircea_popescu: if you're gonna move, go to ukraine. cheap and fertile.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you would like the whole archive.is enchilada ? all the crap ~anyone~ ever saved there ? i imagine it's petabytes by now
mircea_popescu: dude fills in forms. i'm like "hey, when's the last time you saw me fill in a form ?". hilarity ensues.
mircea_popescu: more contortedly idiotic nonsense "this is how rich dudes r, for srs guise" could scarcely be devised.
mircea_popescu: rr ; b) goes to some derpy obscure "firm" and spends A WHOLE DAY of his apparently priceless-worthess time doing the equivalent of posting naked selfies all day on twitter.
mircea_popescu: and for the record, every film with michael douglas in it is a piece of shit ; but perhaps none as much as "the game". holy fucking shit, the premise is a dour dude who "has it all", including a disdainful relationship with his ex wife and two hotties vying for his attention at work nevertheless a) lives in a totally empty house. because how fucking hard & unthinkable it would be to get all the ex secretaries to live there hu
mircea_popescu: gabriel_laddel_p if it could detect and wipe the idiotic wrap(80) thing that'd be great.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes only mentioned it in the sense of "worth it moreso than for stupid solar power bs".
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yes, actually. i saw some harvest an acre of dicks, on their hands and knees.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes tomato crop comes in from late july onwards into winter.
mircea_popescu: now that's a way to make money as a etsy head, plant an acre of tomatoes, sell five or so tons of primo sundried tomato. 10k a ton or such.
mircea_popescu: ah, canned tomatoes. yeah. is the sun strong enough there to dry them well btw ?
mircea_popescu: (in fairness though, inflation didn't go over 10 before the monkey went into office)
