BingoBoingo: mp_en_viaje: This is a project I could start warming up again and structuring as I work on building my toolset and working towards some sort of actual rather than UStarded level of literacy. If I break these particular mid-19th century retards up into bite sized chunks and publish indictments/annotations on the blog in a structured way, I would be filling a gap in documenting how intentional the failure of US "education" was.
trinque: and why are you soviets so damned allergic to structuring things *like a business*
mircea_popescu: in other news, an' in preparation for http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-11-07#1950131 / part and parcel of my being an engineer, i'm currently restructuring my entire personal archive, which consists of moving / hashing / decrypting / unpacking various 10gb - 100gb files.
mircea_popescu: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-09-07#1934794 << honestly i think the whole foundaton thing needs restructuring ; current structure failed repeated treboot attempts and does not look even theoretically rebootable.

mircea_popescu: and for the rotaku club : https://ro.wikisource.org/wiki/A_zecea_muz%C4%83 (one of caragiale's best satires, utterly destructuring "modern" world.)
mircea_popescu: israel getting sanctioned should provide 6mo+ of dnc destructuring "journalism" wank back at home.
mircea_popescu: poor communication with the exterior and poor structuring of the internal process. no, it's not AT ALL the same fucking thing, oh, x is vaguely related to y so let's call it all z." the point isn't to make stu over here.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, contention here is the structuring of activity as theoretically summarized, it's not driven by events but by the need to produce the structure trees needed by indefinitely scalalable summaries.
deedbot: http://trilema.com/2018/trilema-pages-restructuring/ << Trilema - Trilema pages restructuring.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you know, i can't miss that for someone who read and traveled and so on as you say, naggum has a lot of trouble destructuring nubbinisms.
spyked: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-21#1741759 , http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-22#1741862 <-- string not a primitive, but -- "string" datatype aside -- symbol names are (conceptually) strings, so they (the symbol names) require an internal representation etc. cons'ing characters upon reading was simplest approach I found to storing and structuring them. con: list cells introduce memory overhead; pros: avoids arrays and magic numbers like ☝︎☝︎

davout: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-06#1733218 <<< "The IRS wouldn’t comment on Kwon’s specific case, but a spokesman noted that he pleaded guilty to the structuring charge." ☝︎

mircea_popescu: "memory", what's that. he got a bit of memory out of his own body through structuring the environment.
mircea_popescu: actually proper english structuring of mat would be a fine exercise for learning either. though more in the phd level of things.
mircea_popescu: what fits in head depends also on the structuring of the head.
mircea_popescu: prisons have this very interesting fermentive effect for democracies. basically, it's easy enough to pretend like "our democracy" while the bread's still flowing ; once that stops, as it always does -- suddenly it's impossible for the "our democracy" pretense to insulate itself from the authoritatian restructuring the prison drives into society.
asciilifeform: ( aug. 3, 2016 : 'Enphase entered into a $25 million loan agreement with a lender specializing in "rescue financing" that furnishes capital "to avoid a restructuring or insolvency.'"' )
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: bezzle land corporate structuring is just sad on every axis
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: my criticism was specifically that structuring them ~unopposably~ is an act of dishonesty.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes i have words from mp's free critique services : 1. too big font, too much whitespace => way too few words in right column ; 2. single utility column => too much scrolling to get articles ; 3 no good structuring of history (and i dun care about your categories enough to want them listed) ; 4. bad idea to put whole article in archive listing, because then you have to paginate the months which defeats the whole point
mircea_popescu: there's two points. one, where i saw it at the periphery and feared it may be a thing, which made me pretty pissy : http://logs.bvulpes.com/chainstate?d=2017-1-11#1340 and then http://logs.bvulpes.com/chainstate?d=2017-1-11#1374 as the issue was structuring in my head. then of course the closing comments early today morning, http://logs.bvulpes.com/chainstate?d=2017-1-12#323 as the thing couldn't actually be dismissed.
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: i had a complaint about this a while back, reindenting for multiple-value-bind and destructuring-bind and friends
ben_vulpes: in specific grading a lisp 'c' for 'prototyping support' (review panel completely ignorant of repls i suppose) and 'c' for 'high level structuring' (macros don't exist i guess?)
phf: ben_vulpes: if you were to use bind everywhere you can use it (e.g. as a replacement for let, destructuring-bind) your code is going to look sufficiently different that it's not clear if you're even programming in common lisp at that point. makes the result less readable for other cl programmers, and code becomes harder to future proof. the tradeoff is generally seen as not worth it (too intrusive for little payoff)
mircea_popescu: there's a reason medieval empires always included sumptuary laws, which prevented the margins from benefitting from the discoveries/technologies. yes this has a cost in terms of aggregate productivity, BUT that cost can, and in practice usually is, offset by the benefit in political structuring.
mircea_popescu: in short, i oppose the socially destructuring, anti elitist and equalitarian nature of signatures.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: where in usa, exactly, are folks building 'highly defensive "everything's a fortress and with gun ports" bourgeois restructuring' ?
mircea_popescu: usg nightmare scenario is exactly this, highly defensive "everything's a fortress and with gun ports" bourgeois restructuring of the town.
asciilifeform: if you're structuring the 'comment' field, before long you end up with rfc4880 et al if not careful.
mircea_popescu: perfect ; ima spend the rest of the day structuring this and we see!
mircea_popescu: mike_c> yeah. well, how long could mpoe have survived without mpoe-pr? << in fairness... mpex listed itself by reverse-merger with the then-listed mpoe ; which continued operation as a distinct profit center but that has meanwhile discontinued. it's such a historical layering of evolutions etc that some restructuring years later seems inevitable.
phf: once i bootstrap entire cl you mean? (define-macro (destructuring-bind ...
phf: my impression of traditional education is that when everything doesn't fit in your head, you continue cramming it, until in the flash of insight, a way of restructuring the tree comes to you. in this case notation allows for a caching mechanism. somewhere on a blackboard there's a cluster of meaning, that you no longer have in your head, because head is full, so having that cluster contain higher density of information allows for a more
ascii_field: anything could be. could be that i turn up a crate of penis dope and then end up restructuring whole personal economic life around getting moar.
pete_dushenski: in other airplane crime news, http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/bombardier-restructuring-cost-cutting-1.3298950
pete_dushenski: "Twitter has said it is cutting 336 jobs, roughly 8% of its global workforce, as part of a restructuring of the business. The job cuts will cost between $10m (£6.5m) and $20m in severance pay, while the restructuring will cost between $5m and $15m, the company said." << sex sells. except when it's a platform for sex.
mircea_popescu: "The foundation is currently in the phase of restructuring its communications activities. Several members of our current communications team in London are soon leaving or reducing their involvement in the Foundation in order to pursue for-profit ventures on top of the Ethereum ecosystem; we wish them the best of luck. And so, we have both the necessity and a unique opportunity to “reboot” that side of the organizat
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it worked, too. the us managed to get yet another ally for isis, at the cost of destructuring its mideastern holds.
BingoBoingo: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=01-09-2015#1259321 << IRS treats expenditure optimization frequently the same as "structuring" and other not crimes that are somehow crimes. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: 1. full rsa. 2. proper signature encapsulation. 3. sane structuring of the keys. 4. etfc.
mircea_popescu: deep restructuring of the pgp implementation is required anyway.
ascii_field: 'For the first time in the century or so of history of this particular human endeavour, text was deliberately structured with due consideration given not only to its meaning, but also to its source, and to its context. Prior attempts at structuring software, at first consisting of a naive approach focused on meaning only, over time added a half-hearted consideration of context, very unequally and rather haphazardly. The
asciilifeform: t was the first time I had really serious doubts about the wisdom of SGML's structuring process, because the massive complexity of it all is _completely_ pointless and a result of spreading the semantics so thin that you had to keep mental track of an enormous number of relationships to end up with an idea of what something should do or mean. It does not have to be that way. It was _profoundly_ disappointing to discover that
mircea_popescu: "It is, therefore, essential that the great capital bestowed upon our government by the splendid NO vote be invested immediately into a YES to a proper resolution – to an agreement that involves debt restructuring, less austerity, redistribution in favour of the needy, and real reforms."
BingoBoingo: It isn't an actual property of Bitcoins. It is a failing of the social structuring of the stupid.
trinque: having too much btc will have a word like "structuring" pretty soon
trinque: "structuring"
gabriel_laddel: ^ It appears that I should properly make the business case. If the unix in question had a sane substitute for portage (clearly specified set of systems guaranteed to build for a specified set of versions, no cyclic dependencies when you try to enable the USE flag for docs globally, sane CLOS structuring of the systems, `build' builds, `test' tests
mircea_popescu: then people jump at the fundamentally antiscientific restructuring of science the americans did (and many places copied) after 1950 as a sort of noivel phenomena
jurov: overhead compared to what? structuring/trading bonds?
artifexd: <asciilifeform> speaking of which, did artifexd follow mircea_popescu's prescription and use a hacked gpg for 'gossip' ? << No. I'm using go's openpgp code. However, I'm structuring the code so that I can later add the option do the crypto via a shell out to gpg. Then you can use whatever version of gpg your heart desires.
mircea_popescu: otherwise if you could skirt reporting by structuring instruments nobody'd own anything anymore.
asciilifeform: 'Deliberately keeping deposits below that threshold to avoid the reporting requirement is a crime (known as "structuring"), but Hinders was never charged with it. Instead federal prosecutors argued that her bank account had facilitated the crime of structuring, making it subject to civil forfeiture.' << lol!
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: ^ #b-a search is broken. why am i seeing text that does not contain the literal word 'structuring' ? <<< mthreat's thing has a stemmer.
assbot: 336 results for '"structuring"' - #bitcoin-assets search
mats_cd03: hm, http://search.bitcoin-assets.com/?q=%22structuring%22 doesn't do it either.
asciilifeform: ^ #b-a search is broken. why am i seeing text that does not contain the literal word 'structuring' ?
assbot: 336 results for 'structuring' : http://search.bitcoin-assets.com/?q=structuring
asciilifeform: !s structuring
mircea_popescu: so... yeah. destructuring society -> deskilling economy.
bounce: those civil forfeitures for people "structuring" their deposits so their bank has less paperwork to do is clearly an effect but not, as far as I know anyway, a publicly stated purpose of the reporting rules
mircea_popescu: https://www.r3.org.uk/ "R3, The Association of Business Recovery Professionals is the leading organisation for insolvency, restructuring and turnaround specialists in the UK." but meanwhile www.r3.org.uk/styles/list.cfm?id=221 nike blazar
ben_vulpes: <ThickAsThieves> i'm like, you now i'll have to pay taxes on those too right? << dude stop letting the wimmins make important decisions like dietary and financial structuring
decimation: "A U.S. District Court has ruled that Argentina can't pay holders of restructured bonds until it compensates the holdouts, who have sued for full payment on bonds the country defaulted on in 2001. Some investors accepted discounted bonds in restructurings in 2005 and 2010. The bonds fall under New York jurisdiction because they were issued in New York."
Vallance: Thinking of re-structuring our business affairs
hdbuck: mircea_popescu hello MP, thx for the voice up, i came here with the hope you could help me apprehend that blockchain size issue (& considering it is an issue). been reading tons of articles about that and people talks about 'industrial' supernodes and/or 'restructuring' Bitcoin.. cant make up my mind whether thats good or bad tho. any inputs? :)
BingoBoingo: benkay: The economic grabass in the US will probably follow from this and the already documented economic malstructuring
mircea_popescu: perhaps amusing an exercise would be restructuring the argument, except directed at them.
mike_c: yeah, so, i believe all the hairiness would be in implementing what goes on in those states anyway. i'm not sure structuring the high level stuff around states would neccesarily make it much cleaner.
mircea_popescu: so the us is restructuring its foreign debt after all huh
mircea_popescu: tell it to the structuring consultants.
BingoBoingo: pankkake: So how are you structuring this poll?
mircea_popescu: i am saying that numerous concepts are employed in a way which belies unfamiliarity with the field, and the general structuring of the narrative is such that you suspect the author does not have a birds eye view of the topic.
mircea_popescu: most people buy by price, with tiny fluctuation restructuring their consumption. this pushes producers to control costs, which leads to substitution, of actual ingredients with chemically derived erszatz.
bgupta: Another example would be structuring a sports bet that closes for betting at the beginning of a season, but resolves at the end of a season. I think enabling these kinds of bets would bring in more betters, at the cost of holding onto their btc for a long time, and dealing with a potentially large book of unresolved bets.
ozbot: ActiveMiner, the crowdsourced restructuring of AMC(mining) and VMC(sales) just paid 0.00001830/share

bitcoinbust: well id even go as far as 100% of idiotic ideas of structuring government came from germany
mircea_popescu: well society is restructuring itself back to the norm
pigeons: that's "structuring"
benkay: mircea_popescu: what is the risk distribution and capital structure of afk banks you avoided with the MPEx structuring?
mircea_popescu: Thank you all for checking us out. We are currently working on restructuring our payment backend to be in full compliance with all government regulations. We will be back up as soon as all our ducks are in a row.
pigeons: structuring!
coingenuity: mircea_popescu: actually, he's high on my priority list- the manufacturer of the product he ordered has been doing a total restructuring of their supply chain so i'm having to work with their delay
Diablo-D3: without restructuring
