PeterL: I have a question about deedbot:
PeterL: Currently it posts the deed text and an address with a transaction at a certain time, is there a way to verify that these go together?
PeterL: The spec says to generate an address from hashing the text, is there a way for other people to verify this?
PeterL: yes, but this is about the spec, not the particular code
thickasthieves: and i assume it's possible that may change with new version
PeterL: my idea: have the bot add a line of random characters at one end of the text, hash the text in a deterministic way to get a privkey
PeterL: move bitcoins to the address and then move themback out, then publish the text
PeterL: then anybody could hash the text, and see that the first instance of coins moing to the generated address was in that particular block
PeterL: I may be wrong, but I think that is different from what it is currently doing?
punkman: for existing deedbot, the whole bundle goes through sha256, then that hash is manipulated to create a public address
punkman: without creating a private key, so the funds are burned
PeterL: my way would let it stop burning funds?
PeterL: so right now you verify text by hashing directly from the text to an address?
punkman: I rewrote it slightly different
PeterL: what will your changes do?
punkman: I take the hash of each deed, concatenate those to create the "bundle", then hash the bundle and make a private key out of that
PeterL: then do you retrieve the bitcoins sent?
punkman: maybe, or give people a chance to sweep them
PeterL: so it becomes a race to see who gets there first once the bundle is published?

However, as a matter of English law, CM may be considered a general partnership. If that is the case, then the 'shareholders' of CM - which includes yourself - would all be considered partners. As partners, they would all be jointly and severally liable for CM's debts, including the 'Bond'. It is therefore possible tha

mircea_popescu: "But I have to admit, I'd never thought much about the next analog of hydrogen peroxide. Instead of having two oxygens in there, why not three: HOOOH? Indeed, why not? This is a general principle that can be extended to many other similar situations. Instead of being locked in a self-storage unit with two rabid wolverines, why not three? Instead of having two liters of pyridine poured down your trousers, why not three?
mircea_popescu: for the record, the only sane name for hydrogen peroxide is lo-ol
mircea_popescu: then all his derivates make perfect sense, dihydrogen trioxide = lo-o-ol
mircea_popescu: well basically the reason anything's an alcohol is because someone took a hydrogen and pasted an -oh group.
Adlai: some chemist had a drunken lo-o-ol?
mircea_popescu: so these three very excited, rusophone derps moved into the building, spent all morning banging around trying to get a large ac unit installed (eventually welded it across on the frame, which was too small for it o.O) and now are playing loud russian pop music while making a bunch of smoke inside a small, 3x4 walled in cubical "balcony" of sorts, under the pretense of a bbq
Adlai: sounds like the most fun they've had all week
Adlai: the world forgetting, by the world forgot
mircea_popescu: think about it, men in their 30s partying without womenz.
mircea_popescu: in celebration of having innovatively misinstalled an ac unit.
mircea_popescu: then again, most people approximately shaved and in wifebeaters do.
nubbins`: ask 'em, maybe they're getting better rates than you
mircea_popescu: yeah, that'd totally explain why there's three of them living together in bachelor pads.
mircea_popescu: in fairness, the thing is designed to be able to "sleep" with two women, but a) women doing it in pairs don't tend to be as bulky as these dudes, and moreover... you know.

ben_vulpes: not really a well engineered solution at the end of the day.
assbot: Black Arrow - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
mircea_popescu: i suppose the more kinetic mommentum one can put behind the rocket, the lower total energy needed for a successful launch
mircea_popescu: so there's plenty of very good incentive to use the most energetic reaction possible
mircea_popescu has never dabbled in rocketry, just going by general physics
ben_vulpes: the tradeoff is that the higher up the ergodic chain you go, the more little things cause your whole stack to go kaboom.
mircea_popescu: course since g is more or less fixed, the benefit of going from 2g to 4g is significantly larger than the benefit of going from 4 to 8
ben_vulpes: i never got a good answer on how much monte carlo work went into the 60's space programs during the design phase and how much was back of the envelope estimating.
ben_vulpes: i suspect trajectory planning had lots of sims run. fuel combinations, maybe a few.
mircea_popescu: how ? they didn't have good computers in the 50s, they weren't much inclined to use them, etc. im betting they used the artillery method
ben_vulpes: you can do some amount of trajectory planning by hand, too.
ben_vulpes: they had plenty of computers back then!
ben_vulpes: in the classic sense of the word, though.
ben_vulpes: if i recall correctly, japan's orbital vehicle got into orbit with no onboard control, just a gravity turn.

ben_vulpes: further research indicates there was actually onboard control.
