mircea_popescu: yeah not a bad time to buy containers. trade's going to shit.
ben_vulpes: BingoBoingo: container legos are best legos
mircea_popescu: steel billet is like 300, 20 foot dry container is like 2.3 tons tare, so that's about 700 out of the 1.7 just the price of the metal.
mircea_popescu: that's like buying house for 2.5 the price of bulk brick

davout: asciilifeform: it isn't very clear to me if the actual attack ~must~ be a P2SH transaction
davout: "It is possible to use a standard p2sh transaction as the attack vector, but it seems to be a transaction that takes no more than 500 msec to be verified." <<< this part confused my parser
mircea_popescu: davout the way this works is by piling a bunch of slow txn.
davout: asciilifeform: seems to me any incoming transaction that you verify could DoS you
davout: (assuming you have the pre-requisites already in block)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform "do not evaluate script" is simple enough.
mircea_popescu: and you don't have to evaluate the script to check the tx.
davout: "Additionally I have done extensive fuzzing to ensure the result is identical to the current implementation."
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you don't have to evaluate the script. you have to check that the inputs exist, check that the txn is signed, and that's that. all the nutty bs "scripts" do is not of any interest, not really.
mircea_popescu: tbh /me has little intention to support anything but the above in trb-i. no fucking "scripts". name your input, name your output, sign. that's it.

☟︎ Framedragger: hm, isn't that because of gender role legacy, with "man taking the burden" and all that? i'm sure this oversimplifies things - it's an interesting thought
Framedragger: or more precisely, have there been no instances of such?
☟︎ ben_vulpes: it's not that women can't be cowards but that cowards (unqualified) are men.
☟︎ ben_vulpes: best i have is that woman adapts and survives and man dies broken, fighting to the last breath
☟︎ Framedragger: yes, there is that model of a woman as someone who is expected to, and is bound to adapt in my mind, too. if she runs away from a dangerous bank robbery scene, it's to be expected. ties into the 'protecting children' function, too. unless she *explicitly* is a heroine.
☟︎☟︎ Framedragger: (that being said, and probably much against the aggregated views of this here forum, i don't really like this model. if 'emancipation of women' makes your gut wrench, consider that most men fail at fulfilling their model expectations. in .lt (where masculine models are very much in place), there are plenty of good, sensitive men who live very unhappy lives due to 'expectations'. this of course includes lots of unhappy gay people.)
☟︎☟︎ phf: woman is assumed to be cowardly by default, where's a man needs a qualifier.
diana_coman: Framedragger, there is sex and there is gender; in other words, an individual woman can be more of a man than a specific, given man and the other way around;

mircea_popescu: that's a real threat model, because of how bitcoin works chain differentials are real leverage in the hands of enemy.

mircea_popescu: and for the "we all agree" (that "sexual harassment is a thing" or "words hurt" or whatever other nonsense du jour) engine to work, the strict requirement is for "everyone" to be entirely a set of usg drones. it's not even enough to pad theroom, it must be filled.

"convenience" my right foot. it's never convenient to be stupid, and it is absolutely never convenient to be locked into being stupid.
mircea_popescu: it is admirable to compensate for his ignorance or disinterest, to the perhaps extreme level of doing the hardware, and the os, and the
http server and the php on top of it yourself, if you like the guy enough. more power to you. but it is still something of his, which even if delegated he still owns.
mircea_popescu: it is contemptible and beyond contemptible to rely on his ignorance, disinterest AND COWARDICE to get him on a windowsesque thing which "works", and provided he's willing to adapt what he wants done to what the butons say, all will be well.
mircea_popescu: this is how a mother acts, and why kids have not much business with her past the age of about 10 or so, depending how retarded they are.
☟︎ Framedragger: gotcha. (and agree). i still dream of easily-reproducible systems, though. but one way to abstract away the idiosyncrasies (of say wordpress) is exactly what you said: another person.

Framedragger: well, i'd go so far as to offer some free support to taleb, unfortunately i'm not in his wot; will see...

mircea_popescu: because no, the difference between pete explaining in summary how the fuck cars got fucked and you giving the keys to working wp to taleb is not substantial.
mircea_popescu: what you've both done is - summarized a familiar topic for the benefit for foreigners.
mircea_popescu: and this is exactly how working school fucking works, also.
mircea_popescu: and why kids ask "why" universally across time, space and culture ; and why idiots answer "because that's the way it is" out of fucking line.
Framedragger: sure. and that's the best one can have for the time being, and, *given trust*, it works nicely (dare i say, in a community-like aspect). and trust is unavoidable anyway and maybe the best instrument for civilisation. (also, need coffee)

mircea_popescu: not exactly. there is some vanity in there, now and again, but the substance is just a sort of perfectionism.
mircea_popescu: follows from the personalization of the relationship to the divine. it's one thing to not manage to imitate the flight of the dragonfly, as michelangelo tried (and yes science is a reinterpretation of the relationship to the divine, doh, what else). it's another to not manage to do what the other guy tells you to.

adlai: it's just one example. some knowledge is too specialized to appear in general aggregations; and it's also way too easy to estimate who is germinating which ideologies if you have access to eg which news they read. anyway, i'm supposed to be prepping for my lab tomorrow... this is the fun one, where we dick around measuring boring stuff but end up with ice cream
