BingoBoingo: That one's just my default thought when MP says palace or palatial, because we all know MP prefers a bunch of apartments spread around town to a single palace. Decentralize all of the residence!!!
mircea_popescu: you know when the "guard of the revolution" discovers that their supreme leader isn't really into the revolution at all ? that thing.

WolfGoethe: i have been pondering the possiblity of banker meddling in the bitcoin price
WolfGoethe: clearly they are attacking gold and silver desperate to keep the dollar high, they attacked the russian economy by working with opec to lower oil prices
WolfGoethe: not too far out of scope to see them messing with bitcoin just to keep the lid on how worthless the dollar is
BingoBoingo: Why work with all of Opec when you can just deal with the House of Saud's gerontocracy and that rogue state of North Dakota?
WolfGoethe: also if Russia answered their attack with chinese help we could very easily have $1,000,000 bitcoin in a month
WolfGoethe: the house of Saud is a completely controlled puppet government yes
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: The reptilians. The DDoS people ruined the lizard word like all marketers do.

WolfGoethe: i do not want to get into the spiritual stuff, as that is way to deep for most folks
WolfGoethe: clearly all this has spiritual roots, only an intergenrational intelligence and master arcitect could have perverted everything 180 degrees
WolfGoethe: i really think bitcoin could spike to a million bucks if Putin worked with China to answer the us economic attack. putin could just say he refuses to pay back their loans because of the sanctions and he could ask china to call in their us debt... the fed could just print cash to buy it up... but if china sold that debt to foreign governments... the fed could NOT print foreign currency.. so... overnight the dollar would collapse... not a shot
WolfGoethe: Putin doesn;t wanna go there tho. he is sitting back
BingoBoingo: WolfGoethe: Why would they fire though before USMS "auctions" the last silk road parcel.
WolfGoethe: cuba sold putin out, the idiots... they will get a color revolution soon. the moment fidel dies
WolfGoethe: the usa wants to hit russia and china first with a nuke attack before they get their mutual defense up
BingoBoingo: No entirely right. Obama surrendered to Raoul Castro.
BingoBoingo: Why would USSA. USSA first strike would require just about all of the H-bombs that still work.
WolfGoethe: the usa mvoed in because cuba and russia were getting to close. putin foragev 32 billion bucks of cuba debt.. and wanted a prescense on the island
WolfGoethe: this was a geopolitical move to cut russia off
WolfGoethe: their goal is to cut off venezula and the bolivarian revolution and then encircle brazil
WolfGoethe: this is geopolitics 101 not complciated
BingoBoingo: WolfGoethe: No. It was to appeal to the democratic base lest 'Murica's other socialist party do it in 2017.
WolfGoethe: lol.. ok brah.. yeah.. thats the ticket
WolfGoethe: thinking it had something to do with russia and full spectrum domiannce
WolfGoethe: it is just so obama can get some mo votes for his pal... hilary
BingoBoingo: Yeah, Obama has sold a large part of America's electorate on Cuban style socialism and he want's to let them know he's stronger than the R-socialist party to making friends with cuba

mod6: lol, did you see Chris Christie during the Cowboys/Lions game? DEEERRRP
BingoBoingo: Hockey and Baseball are the pro sports I watch.

BingoBoingo: One economic problem I will never get is dual sports players in college declaring for the NFL draft and skipping the MLB draft (looking at you rapin Jaimis)
BingoBoingo: For the average to exceptional player the NFL offers more moneyper year over less years, while MLB offers more total money over a longer period of time.
mod6: sports would be better if these knuckleheads just had to play for their meal ticket
BingoBoingo: Or if they'd think economically. Bo Jackson could have had another decade of professional playing time... If he didn't let the NFL cripple his body.
mod6: Bo Jackson was awesome.
mod6: I think i have a rookie card of his somehwere around here.
BingoBoingo is kind of aggrevied Mussina didn't make the HOF this year in spite of inventing much of contemporary successful pitching.
mod6: think they'll ever give in and let Rose into the HOF?
BingoBoingo: Eventually, probably on a reconcilliation ballot or some shit. I don't see a need for them to though. Their denial has only made his legend stronger.
mod6: How is it that MLB is regulated by Congress?
BingoBoingo: In reality they jsut contravene actual law for 10 minutes of voter attention.
mod6: what a waste of taxpayer money
BingoBoingo: So the StL rams majority owner proposed a new stadium complex in LA.
mod6: so they're gonna be the LA Rams again?
BingoBoingo: A veto block of other team owners opposes the rams moving because it would prevent them from blackmailing their city governments with the threat of a move to LA
BingoBoingo: My money would be on London Rams and LA Raiders.

ben_vulpes: my imagination is impoverished, asciilifeform. i know not what i know not.
mircea_popescu: ah, the drama of building a new world with hands and however you call that little thing they mix mortar in
ben_vulpes: magically condenses the codebase into something fathomable by mortals like i?
badon: thanks BingoBoingo
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: The hard problem I see if why you are right about UDP, mircea_popescu right about not signing everything, etc is that the new world is complicated. We aren't slaying mere aztecs anymoar
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: But with custmers demanding lesser results
ben_vulpes: i'm having trouble imagining in which ways my mine work resembles spelunking through the satoshi codebase.
ben_vulpes: i've ne'er cranked out nozzles for anyone.
assbot: We might use IRC in class next semester. That would be interesting.
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: my professional slave time's been strictly constrained to cross-domain systems engineering in high-voltage wafer testing, machine shop engineering, production line automation and retarded "web" "technologies".
ben_vulpes: consider the rocketry a undergrad's self indulgence, not too different from your lisp machine obsessions.
mircea_popescu: a mix not unlike "paralegal work, some pr, copywriting and sucking cock tied naked to bridges"
ben_vulpes: the topologically similar jobs - as miserable as you'd no doubt find my current line of employ.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> a mix not unlike "paralegal work, some pr, copywriting and sucking cock tied naked to bridges" << OMG It's QNtra!!!
ben_vulpes: but go on asciilifeform, i wait nigh on tenterhooks to hear about how my slave time should qualify me for the satoshi codebase maintenance.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> aha, process man << I'm just maintaining a list of Loper machine prospects with insufficient chance of death before your complete demo.
mircea_popescu: o data... de mai multe ori... caci ce pot fi aceste garduri, decit cazute foste scari, decit cazute, foste garduri.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> BingoBoingo time for qntra to have pictures ? << It's had a couple... Why???
ben_vulpes: <asciilifeform> aha, process man << testing, actually.
ben_vulpes: automation thereof and design of subsystems for machines performing high voltage wafer binning.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Because I may not like that it was a thing, but... True Grit was apparentlyt remade
ben_vulpes: a wealth of knowledge that would have doomed me to a life in the suburbs under buzzing "lights".
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: not terribly. castoffs from the pre-production days are always looking for a good home.
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: you claim some sort of knowledge on how things i did once qualify me for things i do now. i'm curious to know what precisely you think qualifies me - on what sort of (shaky?) foundation those assumptions and guesses rest.
ben_vulpes: and further - what precisely you think my part is.
ben_vulpes: because i honestly don't think that you see it.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> ben_vulpes: ... to hear about how my slave time should qualify me for the satoshi codebase << ben_vulpes had better be qualified... just as artifexd had better be qualified for his part. << I enjoy that unlike onions disqualifying contributions are illuminated. Because not over engineered.
BingoBoingo: unlike onions disqualifying contributions are illuminated. Because not over engineered.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> ben_vulpes: i like to imagine that you'll get the thing into a shape where i can ask nubbins` to print it << This
BingoBoingo: One crack rock and a text file can test against an actual spec.

mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo here's a simple fact : bitpay made what, 1% of less than 12mn in december ? that comes to... half what mpex made ?
mircea_popescu: and mpex didn't hjave to sponsor no ball game for it ?
mircea_popescu: add all the usg-side businesses together, see what you get. lotta hope, lotta hype, no receipts.
cazalla: i still wanna know how much fraud bitpay, coinbase etc are processing, they won't give me a clear cut response
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Well MPEx isn't paying $145/CPM
mircea_popescu: didn't coinbase recently change its tos to run up credit reports on users ?
cazalla: example of one fraud merchant who used bitpay to bilk people for at least a year lol
cazalla: mircea_popescu, been there for a while apparently
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Old news. November, but they reserved the right earlier.
mircea_popescu: cazalla if you get enough of those together, that list + a "we don't wanna say" from bp/cb is good enough.
mircea_popescu: journalism is about collecting facts and giving the parties the *opportunity* to comment. they don't want to take it, silence belies guilt.
punkman: cazalla, how does bitpay merchant do fraud if only BTC incoming?
BingoBoingo: Well, yeah the idictments so far are a lot of qntra's meat.
BingoBoingo: 's odds on surrendering on blocksize by May
tsoulus: Oh I'm just lurking about, had some interest in bitcoins for a while
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo nah, they don't have the time. gavin has to force it through rapidly, before blocks actually start regularly overflowing 1mn, because that's his only chance to get pools surrepetitiously mining v3 blocks while gavincoins not being massively doublespent.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: There was a 50kb block Tonight!!!

☟︎ BingoBoingo: He has to take at least a year or the Chicoms will nevwer mine for his chain
BingoBoingo: But he has to take a year, because I got Chicoms reading Stan!

BingoBoingo: Why else was it Luke who visited and not him with results.
BingoBoingo: He filled his HDD with blocks in hopes that you'd stay gone

BingoBoingo: I don't think he can propose until March, then Fork block before may.
mircea_popescu: 1k txn is ~ 400kb. that means with a 800kb block that merely creating a 1k 1btc txn bundle will guarantee 50% separation on gavincoin chain.
BingoBoingo: Because... we know the people doing tx ping pong and filling up blocks
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo nah, fork block has to go in before end of march is what my numbers show.
mircea_popescu: otherwise he literally will not be able to protect the scamchain.

mircea_popescu: that's always been there, for foreigners, which people who renounce a citizenship become.
mircea_popescu: it is customarily shown by a) substantial assets and b) family ties.
mircea_popescu: the uncomfortable reality that he has neither is obviously something he's not willing to confront, and so it has to be about how bad teh us customs & immigration is.
mircea_popescu: now, it's all fine and dandy to all agree on how teh us is the empire of evil. however, the notion that they'd err on the side of not letting anyone in is plain ridoinculous.
mircea_popescu: i had no problem getting romania's like i dunno, 3rd ? 10 year visa fifteen years ago when i actually wanted one. notwithstanding that romania was you know, a sort of ukraine in 2025, and notwithstanding that bush was in charge.
TomServo: Sure - with you there, it just seems incredibly hard to really 'prove' intent to leave.

mircea_popescu: yes, nano's not been heard from, the only reasonable assumption is something asciilifeform'd say.
mircea_popescu: well... perhaps reasonable's not the right word. safe.
mike_c: well, you took a few weeks off and we still trust you
mircea_popescu: and infrastructure didn't fail meanwhile, with no word.
TomServo: folks in otc are claiming it's a planned absence, I haven't seen anything specific though.
mike_c: so.. this is when assbot officially takes over the world then.
mircea_popescu: im pretty sure that in realpolitik terms this was the more important use of gribble.
mircea_popescu: what with all the stuff being build atop it and so on.
undata: clearly the guy had to be stopped... he was running an irc channel!
mircea_popescu: i don't know that guy is anybody, outside of social engineering everyone. he doesn't have a rating from nano, the notion they know each other is improbable on the face, and if in fact this were a job you'd fully expect a bunch of unknowns talking authoritatively in such manner.
TomServo: It'll be interesting if gribble returns after a replacement is spun up.
mircea_popescu: gribble is only relevant in this channel by specific inclusion from assbot. once it lost that, it lost it.
mircea_popescu: maybe if it convincingly performs for a while the two wots can be bridged later on (how such a thing could be done in principle has been discussed a few times) and that'll be a great step towards de facto decentralization with central servers and that's that.

mod6: I have written a guide on how to patch the reference implementation. is that one too complex?
mod6: I've walked through that guide with a guy locally here, and there are a few minor changes that I need to make to it this month. I'll get to it when I can, but mostly, it's exactly what you need. Aside from installing the dependancies.
mod6: you basically need to do these for that:
mod6: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -y upgrade
mod6: sudo apt-get install -y build-essential libssl-dev libdb4.8-dev libdb4.8++-dev libboost-all-dev wget git
mod6: i left that out of the guide as I don't wish to presume which environment it should be built on.
mod6: but currently, that's what we're testing on. i have an medium ec2 instance im testing on, and a few other smaller vm's.
mod6: If anyone wants to write a more user-friendly how-to as opposed to what I have already written, by all means!

mircea_popescu: linux permissions are about as fucking nonsensical as it gets.
mircea_popescu: so if you > or >> a filename that doesn't exist and you want to run it, you have to set a permission bit separately.
mircea_popescu: however, if you > or >> a filename that exists already, you can run it just fine.
undata: also executing a folder is what you're doing when you enter it...
undata: what do you think would be better, a sort of stream header that indicates the nature of the bits to come?
mircea_popescu: undata i think it'd be better that the execute bit gets trashed every time the file is modified.
mircea_popescu: if your philosophy is that the file modification is what you defend against.
undata: yep, the former has sane security consequences
undata: the latter is more aligned with what actually happens, the file doesn't execute itself, something invokes it
mircea_popescu: well if the idea is that "he who has the authority to modify a file always has the authority to also execute it" then "executable" bit makes 0 sense.
mircea_popescu: contrarywise, if your idea is that one needs the priviledge to make files executable, then this situation where a file is modified and stays executable makes 0 sense.
mircea_popescu: but really, the problem is folders=files and execution = opening
mircea_popescu: clearly "executing" an archive is not the same as decompressing it.
irdial: Presumably a "default file permission on creation" of any new file would fix it, then you would be forced to set the executable bit every time.
undata: along those lines having files owned by a single group is brain dead
undata: the whole ACL system is just a bunch of ad hoc ideas
undata thinks RDBMS got ACL much more right
mircea_popescu: to think 1991 - 2011 were spent in a "oh linux is better than windows" nonsense, instead of being spent to, you know, make a sane environment.
mircea_popescu: no wonder ubuntu and systemd are what's left on that smoldering pyre.
mircea_popescu: i suppose this is all moot since anything can read any file as data and trhen execute it as code anyway
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: what would be a good resolution source for this bet:
thestringpuller: This bet resolves no if Gavin's proposed hard fork is launched, and in succession achieves 51% consensus of the network. This bet resolves yes, if the current Bitcoin fork keeps 51% consensus of the network, or if Gavin's proposed hard fork is never launched.
thestringpuller: Will likely require someone to monitor both forks (running both versions) if the event occurs as a resolution source. (Resolution source still required).

mircea_popescu: i'd argue that bet doesn't actually do what the title says.
mircea_popescu: "Gavincoin orphan chain to reach 50 blocks before being abandoned" is kinda not the same as "Blockchain will increase"
☟︎ mike_c: well, we all know by now that the title is not controlling :)
mircea_popescu: stil, as it is prolly a better phrasing anyway, give both sides some sort of chance.
mike_c: there should be a 'bet author' credit. make people famous, and then i'd know who to yell at about some of these terms.
mike_c: right, the initial wager
mircea_popescu: and since kako's reforms, that's quite universal, nobody can say "if only i had thought of zeroconfing it"
mircea_popescu: i guess in the end bitbet will spawn a bit phrasing discussion forum
mircea_popescu: full of puns and wordplay and intricate hebrew arguments.
punkman: weird power outage, ups crapped out :(
mike_c: the time weighting system puts a dead zone in the middle of the lifetime of a bet
mike_c: It is often not profitable to bet given your estimation of the odds and the current weight.
mike_c: the beginning of the bet (high weight) and the end of a bet (high confidence) are the best two times to bet
mircea_popescu: in the sense that if you figure the odds two weeks late and the market already is stable you're... late ?
mike_c: "market", i.e. what the money says is that the odds of yes are 60%
mike_c: you believe the odds are actually 65%
mike_c: but you still can't bet profitably, because time weighting has progressed and only made it profitable if you think the odds are something like 82%
mike_c: well *that* doesn't happen until late in the bet
mircea_popescu: so, 10 day bet, on day 1 it's made, and 4 BTC on yes (40 weight) 60 BTC on no (60 weight)
mike_c: i assume you meant 40 btc/60 btc
mike_c: but ok, i'll work with that.
mircea_popescu: on day 4 you come and split a btc : .35 on yes (2.1 weight), .65 on no (3.9 weight)./
mike_c: yes, well, first off that was silly
mike_c: clearly both sides can't be profitable wagers
mircea_popescu: (if you throw 1 btc blindly on a 65% odds event you should overall make .65 back)
mike_c: ok.. so you meant 4 btc and 6 btc in the beginning.
mike_c: this example makes no sense. why did i put .35 on yes and .65 on no.
mircea_popescu: and i'd argue it's fair you realise SOME of the 60-65 difference but not all, inasmuch as well... you're both on the right side of 50%, just you're 50% closer.
mike_c: yeah, i'm about to school ya :)
mircea_popescu: it doesn't matter what you bet. i put both wagers down explicitly to get all terms on the table and leave no stone unturned.
mircea_popescu: (ie, people betting one single side THINK they are. but they aren't. they should reserve the other anyway, if playing sanely)

mike_c: ok, day 4 i bet 1 btc on no (6 weight)
mike_c: and if no wins, i get 6/66 * 11btc = 1btc? wtf.
mircea_popescu: it's not, because you're looking at a dynamic situation as if it were a photograph.
mircea_popescu: but that's not because of the system. that's because of market inefficiency (your bet didn't get covered)
mircea_popescu: in which case your 1 will have to be covered to maintain the 60%. do that.
mike_c: and obviously market inefficiency is the only way to make money at parimutuel wagering..
mircea_popescu: well OBVIOUSLY then it's also the only way to lose money. eh ?
mike_c: and OBVIOUSLY nobody is going to maintain the 60% because the time weighting!
mike_c: why would I bet on a 40% likely event and 20% odds?
mircea_popescu: except, of course, as i shown above, if they bet rationally they do have a rational incentive to move the odds if they believe the odds.
