mircea_popescu: the most that can be said of a number produced through taking a composite (moduli are composites - of two primes yes, but composite) and applying the 32bit mirroring process is that you'll obtain an odd number. that's it. the probability of a number that large being prime is roughly speaking n/ln(n)

mircea_popescu: davout the problem of bloat is not something that can be individually addressed. in a sense/under a certain perspective this is like saying that 1800s london was incredibly smoky because of all the heating coal usage, but you could also burn clean coal, which was only slightly more expensive.

mircea_popescu: cazalla poor roger ver really belongs in the gallery of famous tragic characters, with brave, brave, brave sir robert, the tragic clown and his faithful wife nedda etc.
mircea_popescu: here's the story of a simple country boy, one could say a cock-eyed optimist who got himself a number of pleabargained felonies after which the sun seemed to shine, and all his long held frustrations as to relevancy for business, intellectual prowess and whatnot seemed to realise! finally! oh, how this moment had been pined for.

mircea_popescu: thousands of bitcoin donated to a shitty foundation ? gone, as is the foundation.
mircea_popescu: paltry attempts to make it stay relevant about as effectual as spitting in the wind.
cazalla: i figured him as autistic tbh
mircea_popescu: the guy spent more than it was worth (in bitcoin treading for a pittance) to acquire a "valuable" domain, as if a domain name could ever be valuable.
cazalla: in his videos his eyes have that glassed over, empty look
cazalla: but anyway, btc.com and bitcoin.com, 2 diff things just occuring at the same time
mircea_popescu: and now he's stuck in a world where others may entertain his pretense (to "professionalism" or to "business-like" or whatever else), but a) only third worlders, and b) only for as far as they find it net positive.
fluffypony: when they say it "lead to the loss of the domain" what do they mean
fluffypony: GAW owns the domain?
mircea_popescu: so no, okpay isn't gonna pay him "what the contract says". okpay doesn't belong to the space of delusion he belongs to.
mircea_popescu: fluffypony it means the fountain of shit these people create as a byproduct of their metabolism.
mircea_popescu: the domain no longer has an owner, it's a toxic asset now
mircea_popescu: much like the original bitcoin magazine
mircea_popescu: for exactly the same reasons.
cazalla: fluffypony, garza "bought" it last year for 1 million.. to pay off in installments over 36 months.. but garza has no money left apparently.. so he leases it to bitcoinist, pockets the money and the real owner of the domain takes it back as garza late/failed to make payments leaving bitcoinist up shit creek

mircea_popescu: cazalla there's at least three parties if not like five with some sort of claim oiver it, all of which cost more to prosecute than the thing would cost to replace.
cazalla: but the bitcoinist guy should've known better seeing he already went through this with garza last year when garza was going to buy bitcoinist and mate tokay wanted green card, 200k, lambo, unit and all that other shit

mircea_popescu: just more smokefronting.
cazalla: kids and their pokemon cards
chetty: appeals court ruled against obama amnesty stuff, sometimes the law kinda works, but I doubt it will stop anything, courts cant enforce and there is history of O thumbing nose at them
mircea_popescu: if ballas were around the one thing i'd ask him would be to write up this particular story. it's something else, "the failures of roger ver's pretense on the jagged shores of reality - 2010 - 2015"
mircea_popescu: chetty which one is this again ?
chetty: O made exec order about giving illegals status and green cards and stuff, Texas sued
cazalla: i thought his amnesty was quite limited to who and time (3 years?)
mircea_popescu: o. heh.
mircea_popescu: chetty and i presume the people in question already received the green cards right ?
chetty: well I bet some did, coursts issued injunctions but I think the agencies just ignored it
mircea_popescu: and obviously nobody's going to jail for any of this.

mats: which would be fine except there's no way to replace the capability of the A-10 with something else

jurov: pics are nowhere mentioned, they§ll stay unencrypted
mircea_popescu: i can see why, too. if there's no actual items involved there's much less risk to doing it all, as nobody can ever be shown definitively to have fucked up.

ascii_field: because we know that it exists
ascii_field: just not -which-.
mircea_popescu: hunt for it has been ongoing, but we don't have one yet
mircea_popescu: the chumps derping about self-importantly on "cryptographic" "lists" etc are certainly using it - but so far too dumb to realise they shyould be looking.
mircea_popescu waves at idiots.
ascii_field: perhaps time for a bounty ?
ascii_field checks back pockets for loose coins
mircea_popescu: unbountyable
ascii_field: ?
mircea_popescu: (i could diddle one too, what use is it. we need the actual item, not something custom made)
ascii_field: naturally bounty would require proving that the animal existed in the wild prior to the discovery
ascii_field: this is not entirely impossible
mircea_popescu: i'd much rather take someone's word. which requires people motivated by their own functioning head.

mircea_popescu: since we were discussing airplanes : f-15, pretty much the only successful military jet to be ever designed and produced by the us by itself, has cost ~35 bn for the ~1200 items produced, and has managed a total kill score of ~100.
mircea_popescu: this means each aerial victory the us has obtained through its most successful program to date cost ~350 million dollars.
mircea_popescu: anyone wonder why they prefer to win imaginary victories via bribing whatever newspaper is fashionable that day ? shit's damned expensive.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: very much broken assumption here, though
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: the airplane was not built for victories
mircea_popescu: i don't care what people intend.

ascii_field: danielpbarron: in principle. bloating the code 20x
ascii_field: and you would have to replace the lists, hashmaps, etc. with something equivalent
mircea_popescu: yeah sadly this is not really distinct from plain rewrite
ascii_field: not only this, but the inevitable result would be a re-implementation of 'boost.'
