decimation: these usg regulatory letters are hilarious
decimation: "we find that we are in charge"
mircea_popescu is nonplussed with the retards squirming around the edges of bitcoin failing to point out that "hey sec, mp's cock isn't going to suck itself, get busy"
mircea_popescu: buncha retarded kids.
decimation: I was reading the fincen letter to bitpay
decimation: as if fincen is ever going to say "sure you can do whatever you want without asking us again"
assbot: How Google Plans to Steal More of Your Traffic
mircea_popescu: this is to me an interesting thing, because it's an exact reprise of the craftsman vs entrepreneur arguments that raged in the early modern period, resulting in the ip laws in the first place.
mircea_popescu: you see, back cca 1800, a guy who figured out how to fix a loom would do anything BUT explain it to anyone
mircea_popescu: because that knowledge meant a livelihood, whereas education meant competition.
mircea_popescu: today, people go "do not put xml schemas on your recipes, because that's only going to help large data crunchers profit - not you"
mircea_popescu: exactly the same thing.

bounce: that makes patent warchests more than a little ironic
mircea_popescu: how you mean ?
bounce: they're the tool of big corporates and patent trolls, exactly the opposite of protecting the small craftsman
mircea_popescu: ah ah. myeah. the problem with "fixes" is that they always degenerate.
mircea_popescu: that's why problems should be approached radically or not at all.
bounce: like radicals don't degenerate
mircea_popescu: they can't.
mircea_popescu: what i mean here : anything which is ulterior ontologically to the problem is a fix. anything that is anterior ontologically to the problem and is incompatible with the problem's existence is a radical aproach.
mircea_popescu: so, if a river bothers you, building a dam is a fix. making water a physical impossibility is a (very) radical approach.
mircea_popescu: the fix degenerates (water can say break the dam and flood you, which is worse an outcome). the radical approach can't degenerate, because it has not where to.
decimation: for instance, beheading the king and declaring The People sovereign
bounce: look at any state that rose out of "revolution" only never shed it
mircea_popescu: decimation that's a fix. it fails to make kings impossible, so it degenerates, to a shittier kingdom
mircea_popescu: (necessarily shittier because well, it won't say its name)
decimation: good point. I guess the radical approach would be to murder all humans
mircea_popescu: lobotomy comes to mind.
mircea_popescu: anyway, this observation is not particularly useful in politics, but it is useful in technology.
decimation: yeah it's impossible to unhuman humanity, but it's quite possible to unintel computers
undata: mircea_popescu: I've said before in regards to software architecture that inherent is better than explicit (in response to the python thing). Yours is much better said.
undata: the python thing being implicit vs explicit

asciilifeform would like to snip macos next
asciilifeform wonders who, if anyone, would shed a tear for macos
ben_vulpes: i've never successfully built it.
decimation: me neither
decimation: you end up in dependency hell very quickly
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: then perhaps you should do the honour of shooting it in the head
ben_vulpes: build environment is a snowflake.
decimation: what is even macos specific?
decimation: should be pretty similar to bsd, assuming user supplies paths to all dependencies
asciilifeform: decimation: grep
asciilifeform: i've been saving the death of macos for last, such that we can determine that its removal does not bork *bsd
ben_vulpes: and interrupt this roll you're on?
ben_vulpes: i shant, no.
asciilifeform: i might like to, say, do a little bit of actual work tomorrow.
ben_vulpes: plus, wrangling multiparty gpg sigs.
asciilifeform: let others claim some easy hunting.
asciilifeform: this is going to turn into actual work quite soon (when we start snipping tissue that must be replaced, rather than merely cremated)
asciilifeform: e.g., json rpc
ben_vulpes: wallet
asciilifeform Just Wanted A Fucking Book
ben_vulpes: punkman: would it be terribly onerous to get deedbot to certify that multiple documents signed by different people are in fact the same document and that all of the signatures verify?
asciilifeform: ^ important
ben_vulpes: mod6 and i have burnt approximately an hour total trying to pretzel gpg into the correct contortions, and it's not working for us.
ben_vulpes: er, an hour each.
decimation: I"m running into some kind of build error on openbsd
decimation: INADDR_NONE AF_INET stuff
ben_vulpes: implementing the mailing list hack you suggested throws a digest error.
asciilifeform: incidentally, looks like bitcoind only supports little-endian cpu.
decimation: based on magic numbers?
asciilifeform: based on i-can't-be-bothered-quite-now-what
ben_vulpes as well
ben_vulpes: arbeit machtzzzzzzz
ben_vulpes: so here's what mod6 and i figured out
ben_vulpes: if each party runs gpg --output out.sig --sign --armor thing-to-sign.txt, you can run gpg --decrypt out.sig on the blob
mod6: (PGP MESSAGE)
ben_vulpes: (you being punkbot or anyone verifying contracts)
ben_vulpes: that will *both* check the signature *and* show you the signed blob.
mod6: each party will want to name ``out.sig'' something different obv.
ben_vulpes: the cleartext of multiple versions of the same contract can be compared to each other
ben_vulpes: perhaps this is academic though
mod6: so in this case, ben.sig & mod6.sig, each yields a PGP armored message, that's just a signed file that can be verified.
ben_vulpes: and the parties should all deedify independently.
ben_vulpes: lol now that i spell it out parties should deedify seperately.

mircea_popescu: so guy kinda losing it, is the idea ?
nubbins`: but as for the sexual encounters, seems like they signed up for consensual kink but messy gomeshi took this as carte blanche
nubbins`: yeah
nubbins`: now he's suing the cbc for $50m (lel), hired a PR firm, etc etc
mircea_popescu: doing it like it's done.
nubbins`: more like "disguising outright abuse / sociopathic behaviour as BDSM/kink" than "losing it" i guess
mircea_popescu: i wonder if the fucktard "justice" warriors realise that their constant if innefectual nipping at the heels means that anyone involved who can afford it will in fact spend the money and clobber everyone in range.
mircea_popescu: pretty much the direct equivalent of the "tough on rape" laws that simply made sure every rape victim will ALSO be a homicide victim
nubbins`: well the lel is that he was in a union, he can't sue the cbc for $50m
mircea_popescu: great victory.
nubbins`: it'll get pushed to a union grievance

asciilifeform: the old could-vs-would
mircea_popescu: anyway, orlov's putin reads like mp. which i guess is a good thing for all those involved.
asciilifeform looks forward to the possibility of the coprophagiac zoos of western eu waking up to the fact that what turned them into such was - nato.
asciilifeform: 'airstrip one.'
asciilifeform will however believe the noises of 'there cannot be just one great kingdom' when mr. p starts impaling anyone caught with winblows
asciilifeform: whatever kind of winblopocalypse it would take to make this statement seem perfectly reasonable to the most thoroughly retarded 'old king' - will likely happen reasonably soon.
asciilifeform: the really sad and avoidable aspect would be if it were to leave the most deeply retarded old king with a fat stash of plundered btc.
