mircea_popescu: mike_c the notion of "counting nodes" is bizarre in the first place.
mircea_popescu: why not count "water taps" while at it.
nubbins`: heh
mircea_popescu: ie, most infrastructure nodes i know of work on SOME SORT ofload balancing or othewr, necessarily thus exposing variable ips to the world etc.
nubbins`: <nubbins`> anyway, only counting 0.8.x and above, that's like giving a population count of every country in the world, but excluding everyone under 5 feet tall.
nubbins`: and also only measuring the head of each household

mircea_popescu: jurov so the problem suddenly isn't the bug
asciilifeform: ^^^^
mircea_popescu: "i'll lick out his asshole but fuck take that bug away from me"
asciilifeform: the problem, if we continue with this valuable train of thought, - is almost never the bug, per se.
asciilifeform: it is always the available suction.
trinque got ass-bit by a brown recluse once, didn't bitch as much as the story

nubbins`: got all stiff etc
nubbins`: had to go to an AMERICAN HOSPITAL
mircea_popescu: nubbins`> i've never been bitten by anything more exotic than fire ants << for one thing fire ants are more exotic than vipers in carpathians. for the other, i would bet a lot more painful. poor snake's drastically overhyped
mircea_popescu: (so is scorpion, for that matter. most don't kill or anything)
nubbins`: it def didn't tickle
nubbins`: (on jungle walk. woman in front of me says "aah! ants!" then proceeds to try brushing them off WHERE SHE STOOD)

mircea_popescu: some sort of quinone iirc.
asciilifeform: speaking of vinegars,
asciilifeform: the wine thing

asciilifeform: (which is to say, the land of the i-can't-rule-it-out marvels)

mircea_popescu: i'm not going to go as far as to say "date a french somellier chick that can actually tell you what you ate after you squirt her palate"
asciilifeform: thing is, i'm not sure if we have 'the genuine article' sort of expert around here
asciilifeform: not sure if the test was ever attempted in a 'serious' wine country
mircea_popescu: so wiat, is your thesis that this doesn't exist ? or what ?
nubbins`: asciilifeform the genuine articles are few and far between
asciilifeform: my thesis is that i've not a clue.
asciilifeform: l0l

decimation: why does this even need to be a law? isn't it obvious that if a flying object is 'harassing' you while you are armed, the proper answer is to shoot it?
BingoBoingo: decimation: Depends on what you are armed with. Shooting with shotgun fine. Proper rifle... Hard to tell when/where bullet is coming down after impact.
decimation: well, that's a fair point
mod6: ok one last thing before I rebuild... I needed to add the "-nodnsseed" to bitcoind upon start up otherwise it would just start and exit without doing anything
mod6: but now i've >10000 blocks
PeterL: sounds like a great new sport, like skeet shooting, but the target can move in any direction, just need to make a drone that is either so cheap it's disposable or which can withstand shotgun hits
BingoBoingo: Cheap to the point of disposable is prolly the better avenue
decimation: actually this raises an interesting jurisdictional problem - the faa claims jurisdiction over all airspace above 0 feet

asciilifeform: nubbins`: it's a kernel
asciilifeform: you can boot a pogo with it
danielpbarron: can it be used with net console?
asciilifeform: doesn't dhcp by default, so no
asciilifeform: i just tested the nic
danielpbarron: i don't think mine does dhcp and still works
asciilifeform: nic works
asciilifeform: danielpbarron: odd
danielpbarron: i don't mean now that it's booted
danielpbarron: imean in uboot
asciilifeform: i didn't change the uboot
danielpbarron: setenv serverip 192...
asciilifeform: dear glub
danielpbarron: yeah i know, i mean whatever thing i put on it
asciilifeform: uboot is in a separate nand partition
asciilifeform: i didn't touch it
asciilifeform: what i put up just now as turdel-with-rootfs is just a kernel
asciilifeform: i don't even flash these in, booting from lan
danielpbarron: same
asciilifeform: or probably would've worn out my nand already
danielpbarron: i mean that i had previously flashed in a different uboot
asciilifeform: and booting arch every time i do a build would be retarded
danielpbarron: one that lets me set a serverip
asciilifeform: ah
asciilifeform: but that normally doesn't get you past the kernel jump-in
danielpbarron: as it boots it says "so and so is alive'
asciilifeform: after that it goes straight out ttyS0
asciilifeform: so danielpbarron's 'works' does not mean logging in through netconsole ?
asciilifeform: as in, to the shell
danielpbarron: i have not tried with the thing you just made
asciilifeform: aha
asciilifeform: ok more logical
asciilifeform: don't expect that to work
asciilifeform: this turdel is strictly for folks with serial ports
asciilifeform: barring any other peculiar surprises, we have a linux kernel that builds for pogo, and runs there
asciilifeform: and an elementary userland to go with it
asciilifeform: ('busybox'-based)
asciilifeform: weights slightly under 5MB but can be cut a bit
asciilifeform: *weighs
danielpbarron: trying now
danielpbarron: oh i see what you mean
danielpbarron: i remember why this didn't work with the netbsd one
danielpbarron: what is the point of netcat then?
asciilifeform: which 'this'
asciilifeform: danielpbarron: the point of the console-over-netcat was strictly to be able to screw with u-boot (adjust boot device, etc.) without having the serial port
danielpbarron: ah
danielpbarron: ok nevermind, nubbins` learn to solder
asciilifeform: this won't be an issue for much longer
asciilifeform: i'ma fix it so it grabs a dhcp addr. tomorrow.
danielpbarron: i feel a lot more confident to write documentation on that now
asciilifeform: btw this is not what the proper kernel will look like
danielpbarron: i was really confused about netcat to be honest
asciilifeform: because linux supports the nand just fine
asciilifeform: and there is no reason to clutter up the precious ram
asciilifeform: with crap
asciilifeform: userland (incl. bitcoind) will live in nand
asciilifeform: right now they're stuffed in the kernel proper
asciilifeform: when all of this makes sense - i'll post the diff.
danielpbarron: well i'll also leave mine on overnight
danielpbarron: oh btw, what color is the light on yours?
asciilifeform: yellow
danielpbarron: i was gonna call it orange
asciilifeform: this simply means the bicolor is on
asciilifeform: as in, both bits set
danielpbarron: yeah
danielpbarron: it's not green and not red
asciilifeform: laugh, but this also must be fixed
asciilifeform: it'll be most people's only interface to their nodes...
danielpbarron: my arch pogos have working lights
danielpbarron: they are green 24/7
danielpbarron: lol
asciilifeform: danielpbarron: do you remember how to toggle them ?
danielpbarron: no
danielpbarron: i think it's in the debian instructions nubbins` found

mike_c: jurov: wouldn't you expect most people to not ask for deposits/withdrawals in channel?

jurov: why is everyone so utterly secretive?
mike_c: it's not secretive, it's just, why shout it?
mike_c: also, the 'announcement' was recent and the slide started some time ago. my guess is it has more to do with the drop in revenue than anything else, but mp and I have argued that before :)
jurov: i know, being half serious.. but really, i remember from s.dice times half of the chan bragging(or mourning) about trades they did

jurov: ^ large part of this was me, buying for upcoming divs
mike_c: ^ 1% of bitbet has turned over in the last month. that seems "right" to me. s.mg is untradeable because it has so much coin.
davout: mike_c: howso?
mike_c: how do you trade in a company with no revenue and 10k bitcoin on the books?
davout: i'd naively say you'd base a valuation on the cash assets?
mike_c: heh, well, it's currently trading below book value
mike_c: but, point being, these stocks are generally held by serious investors and aren't going to have huge turnover.
davout: i see
mike_c: so without the options, where does mpex get revenue? it's an issue, and one that may be being reflected now in the stock price
mike_c: of course, the options exchange was hardly closed without reason (including some that remained unspoken), so it's tough to bring it back.
mike_c: davout: re s.mg. I think the problem there is that it is speculative whether they will be able to generate enough revenue to move the needle on the share price. so you might have your capital frozen in a stock that is basically valued as a pile of cash.
mike_c: which is why some people who would rather have the cash themselves are willing to dump it at 90% of book value.
mike_c: and I think it's too bad because it's an exciting company. if they're never going to spend the money, maybe just special dividend it back to the shareholders.
jurov: they will find a way to circulate them into ingame economy, that is not so big problem
mike_c: people have to pay to play, what do they need seed money for the game for?
jurov: not a q for me
jurov: i should not have vented here, perhaps am just disillusioned how shabbily it works, deposits, dividends
mike_c: around the edges it is rough, but the important parts are rock solid.
jurov: i fucked too intimately with said parts to put myself behind such statement
mike_c: you think the trading engine isn't solid? or security?
jurov: security is good. but i won't repeat myself about the other stuff
mike_c: i've heard you talk about stuff like 'eventually consistent' and the statements missing some useful tracking features.
mike_c: but i've never heard about problems like 'my bid didn't match the best offer'
mike_c: except one time where something got fucked with a proxy i think :)
mike_c: but once in x years isn't bad

jurov: except for x.eur balances vanishing in the middle of month (at least it's at known time) and reappearing any time later
jurov: and dunno if you remember, there were daily interest payments in the beginning. without stat mention and at random times
mike_c: this is part of the reason though too. products come and go, with different features.
mike_c: x.eur hasn't been around that long. if it sticks around long enough, i'm sure it will work better.
jurov: what reason?
mike_c: part of the reason there are rough edges is that there are a lot of different products on mpex
mike_c: with differing needs
mike_c: path 1: engineer each product perfectly and ship 20 months late (sorry s.nsa). path 2: push it out, make sure it works as advertised, if it gets popular and sticks around, smooth out rough edges.

asciilifeform: ity. The central role of the US judge-lawyer mafia, is the reason over 1 million Americans have become lawyers in what is the developed world's most abusive, corrupt legal system.

The CIA's 'Watergate' scheme to destroy Richard Nixon 40 years ago, was so successfully with the fake 'brave reporter' Woodward, that the CIA even decided to use Woodward's junior partner as a fake 'brave reporter' along with Greenwald in 'Operation Fake Dissident Snowden'.'

assbot: CIA fraud Julian Assange abusing Ecuador London embassy - Pastebin.com ... ( http://bit.ly/1ydCNsV )
asciilifeform: 'Assange and Snowden are cold or actively insulting and hostile to real dissidents. For example, Assange grossly insults anyone who does not believe the absurd US gov story about 11 Sep 2001 - which no serious person believes. Assange insults the thousands of architects, engineers, US military and intelligence veterans, who continually describe how the 'official story' is a fraud. '
nubbins`: "I am a Harvard classmate of top US leaders" the wankery is strong with this one
asciilifeform: nubbins`: i don't give a damn if he claims to be a martian
asciilifeform: the story, to the extent it can be checked out, checks out.
nubbins`: how about if he claims to be a martian in every communique? 8)
asciilifeform: and fits the known facts more tightly than anything else i've encountered
asciilifeform: that is, why not a single one of the 'leaks' actually damaged any tangible lizard interest
asciilifeform: recall that the nsa devices catalogue was -not- a snowden leak
asciilifeform: but came from the other fella
asciilifeform: now (almost certainly) dead
asciilifeform: it shuffled in and was permitted to spread, to lend credibility to the rest of the pile.

asciilifeform: nubbins`: that's your 'incredulity immune system' healthily working
nubbins`: and me without a general checkup in years
nubbins`: anyway, you're correct in that nothing leaked was particularly damaging to the lizards
nubbins`: which in itself is mildly curious
asciilifeform: and that details of -specific- compromises, clearly apparent from context in some of the docs, were scrubbed
nubbins`: i bet assange is such a fucking dirtbag
nubbins`: he probably eats potato chips for breakfast
asciilifeform: sachs also lists names, times, places of folks 'suicided' by usg, with reasons.
asciilifeform: no one has, afaik, seen it fit to refute any of it.
asciilifeform: at any rate, i'll summarize for the impatient. according to sachs, snowden heap was lifted. but under cia (his original and actual employer) direction. and then carefully selected.
asciilifeform: mainly to create a usg-controlled 'muppet hero' who will lead actual leakers to their deaths
asciilifeform: but also to drum up a feeling of 'everyone is surveilled'
asciilifeform: sachs does -not- mention it, but the folks in #b-a know well, that it also created a vast and thriving market of faux 'security' paraphernalia.
nubbins`: i wonder how many btc people sent snowden
asciilifeform: ('redphone', 'blackphone', and 1001 other pieces of rubbish)
nubbins`: ah, blackphone, i recall
nubbins`: turns out it was in fact clearphone?
asciilifeform: long ago proven fact.

asciilifeform: and sachs gives testable hypotheses

nubbins`: here's a snippet
nubbins`: Cornwell quickly denounces the "dirty Jews", the "filthy Jews". Indeed, attacking Jews is a real passion for the neo-Nazi Cornwell, while at the same time engaging in the 'Pleasures of Adolf Eichmann', Cornwell's hiring of dishonest Jews to do dirty jobs for her, a 'pet Jew' whom Cornwell can dominate.

asciilifeform: and are there for anyone who wants to see them.
nubbins`: \o/
asciilifeform: snowden (or whatever bourbaki is responsible for writing his public-facing garbage) insulted the intelligence of the entire planet a thousand times
asciilifeform: and somehow it all washed.
asciilifeform: from his pushing tor, to promising to reveal 'who plugged jfk', to countless other distractions
asciilifeform: and the multicoloured 'phones'
asciilifeform: etc.
nubbins`: Cornwell's lawyers know this, that attacking and murdering Jews is Cornwell's ultimate fetish and fantasy, to herself become a lesbian Adolf Hitler. Cornwell's longtime lawyers Shumadine and Rudell, mentioned above, took advantage of this back in 2000, when they threatened someone of Jewish heritage with a Jew-baiting extortion letter.

nubbins`: the only difference between this guy and a "SHTF" type prepper is the style of the gibberish
asciilifeform: nubbins`: my hypothesis is that this kind of thing is -caused by- rather than -a cause of- the futility of 'shouting in the wilderness'
asciilifeform: nubbins`: the pertinent difference is the testability of the claims and how perfectly they square, imho, with the publicly-available facts.
asciilifeform: none of the other shit ultimately matters.
nubbins`: mine is that it's a piece of breat with nut butter on both sides
nubbins`: but again. i'm not evaluating his claims (how can i? 100% not reading any more), just the way in which he presents himself and his theories
nubbins`: these rambling essays to me are like rounded corners to mp
asciilifeform: nubbins`: the actual facts about usg are sufficiently monstrous that they will trigger -any- reasonable person's immune system the way they triggered yours, if encountered raw in one gigantic torrent

mircea_popescu: so some guy wrote some things on a piece of paper about what he heard on the news and submitted this to his local police station ?
asciilifeform: 'police report at' == 'report written to police'
asciilifeform: and word 'police' here meant very loosely
asciilifeform: anyway, document in question is a piece of nuttery containing, if you put it through a juice extractor, some very sensible hypotheses
asciilifeform: i'd squeeze them out myself, but no time at present

mircea_popescu: to complement what i said then, not only i know of no infrastructure nodes that are reliably identifiable by ip, but i know of no infrastructure nodes that have no vpn access to other nodes.
mircea_popescu: the idea you are going to "monopolize" connections to a node is laughable, as they are all implemented to have hardwired connections you don't get to touch, in a pedestrian, difficult and unwieldy reimplementation of a wot system.
mircea_popescu: moreover, "n confirmation doublespends" still needs you to produce mined blocks of a proper difficulty, which is just as hard as on the main net.
