mp_en_viaje: but back to the issue : i suspect all things any one actually wants will be easier and readylier had by taking an older version and cutting it down to sit on tmsr computing environment than by trying to run it on the campbell-soupcan flavour of windows, be it "foss"/"gnu"/"linux"/adobe/
oracle/apple/whatever, they;re all windowses
trinque: aha, Mocky and
Oracle both
a111: Logged on 2017-02-27 22:07 mircea_popescu: now, the historical solutionb to the problem, as well as perhaps a workable solution here, is the intrinsic
oracle. if user relays txn to a node WHO MAKES A PROMISE (such as for instance "the txn will be included before block n" ?) then the nodes can be scored by their
oracle value ("what he said turned out true!) and suddenly you have a more meaningful node market.

oracle to give you answers" event for all the good it did

☟︎ mircea_popescu: listen, my (often wrong, millitantly ignorant, whatever) intuition is that if oyu have an
oracle in your hands (the chip after all DOES say yes or no) and all you want to do is produce a sig it accepts for an arbitrary string, you should be able to achieve this bit fiddling in less than 2^256 tries.
mircea_popescu: to quote the local
oracle, "america's best days lie ahead"
mircea_popescu: what the beta boi wants from the inadvertent
oracle is ... a score.
BingoBoingo: I'm very uncertain. It's easy to know pantsuit eats their own. I lack a refined
oracle atm for which demographic pantsuit eats next.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it's not thinking at all ; but in any case : when there IS a fine
oracle, why bother with more.
mircea_popescu: moreover, the "central authority" bullshit is LITERALLY and quite exactly "time telling
oracle"

The marine chronometer enthusiasts claim it solved the “timing at sea” problem. Two men attempting to meat in front of Saint Paul's need to agree on a time of day, so how do you provide time for a ship at sea ? Very simple, you do not send out ships without a timetelling
oracle onboard.'

☟︎ mircea_popescu: very much 90s/2000s item though. the following generation found the normal path to ibm alcatel
oracle etc.

A note in the commit indicates that Socat was not working in FIPS mode because it requires a 1024 Diffie-Hellman prime, and added that a developer named Zhiang Wang provided a patch with the new prime. The poster revealed that Wang works at
Oracle and contributes to Socat.'
trinque: as I understand it PostgreSQL is more or less "closest thing to
oracle without having sold first-born per core"
ben_vulpes: jurov: i suppose that i'm pretty lucky to have never worked under anyone who thought
oracle worth including in the matrix
jurov: "let's buy
oracle, they are solid"
jurov: glad I've never used docker. apparently they succeeded to reimplement
oracle-corp-bezzle without backward compat, wd!
phf: has all the usual suspects on site,
oracle, microsoft, etc.

☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: speaking of such wonders, let's play the game whereby i go eat breakfast and whosoever feels
oracle-y attempts to guess what i'm having. then when i'm back in 15 minutes we'll see who won.
mircea_popescu: i'm an
oracle, if you wish. people can ask me questions and get answers, which conform to a specified model ; and STAY conformant in the future.
phf: dirty read would definitely solve me a lot of headache now, though not enough motivation to switch to mysql. not so much when i worked on
oracle for a g-sib where you want acid, so instead "avoid bad writes"
phf: not just postgresql mind you.
oracle definitely, mssql as far as i know
phf: davout: no, nor does
oracle :o
mircea_popescu: princess mafalda of savoy, popularly thought to be an
oracle.
shinohai: hey that
oracle Sunday article was good
a111: Logged on 2016-02-13 02:45 asciilifeform: or how about where it curl's from
oracle.com ?
jurov: everyone else was
oracle+win
mod6: bro, if java were a pile of garbage why would a genius like Ellison and
oracle still push it?

☟︎ psztorc: I know, that's why I proposed rushing out a very very simple version which outright relied on multisig for the 2-way-peg and the price-
oracle input.
felipelalli: mircea_popescu, Thank you for encouraging! But I feel I have read / study more the logs before feel comfortable to write to Qntra. Qntra.net is like my
oracle!
ascii_field: 'Lots of tech companies do that, but in
Oracle's case, it is mandating that all employees pay for this furlough with four days of their paid time off/vacation time, according to several sources we spoke to.' << l0l
thestringpuller: trinque: this is how CS students are taught tho sadly.
Oracle doesn't with this either.
mircea_popescu: how's my chances on redheads ? what's the
oracle say ?
ascii_field: nobody disclaimed the idiocies, but
oracle would like to pretend that no one said them in a single convenient place.
ascii_field: 'Q. Why are you going after consultants the customer hired? The consultant didn’t sign the license agreement! A. The customer signed the
Oracle license agreement, and the consultant hired by the customer is thus bound by the customer’s signed license agreement. Otherwise everyone would hire a consultant to say (legal terms follow) “Nanny, nanny boo boo, big bad consultant can do X even if the customer can’t!”'
ascii_field: why is mircea_popescu convinced that the
oracle thing is a sham ?
ascii_field: 'If we determine as part of our analysis that scan results could only have come from reverse engineering (in at least one case, because the report said, cleverly enough, “static analysis of
Oracle XXXXXX”), we send a letter to the sinning customer, and a different letter to the sinning consultant-acting-on-customer’s behalf – reminding them of the terms of the
Oracle license agreement that preclude
BingoBoingo: That is likely. If any escape it may be that
oracle wishes to kill the market for them.
