Plenty of people will cheer him on despite the fact that federal workers are a bulwark of the country’s middle class. Remember, that middle class everyone was talking about during the campaign? Federal workforce jobs are relatively stable in a disrupted economy. And although the most highly educated could earn more in the pri
asciilifeform: 'The entire blockchain ecosystem suffers when situations like this reflect insecurities. Bugs are always going to plague computer code, but when found in such a fledgling field, they are scrutinized and can cause skepticism.

asciilifeform: asking for mircea_popescu-style 'sane' programmer is rather like to ask for hygienic sewer repairman. if such a thing is possible it consists of cosmonautic-grade compartment sealing.

asciilifeform: the other thing about these lamps is that (at least i find) they are addictive -- after stuffing 2 100w-imitators into a fixture that cannot physically hold 2 100w edison bulbs without catching fire, it is painful to go back
asciilifeform: one reason is that the chumps often submit'em, for free, for 'recycle', and the lamp house gets to sell ~same motherfucking lamp N times
asciilifeform: led lamp makers are scamming folx left and right in entirely nonsubtle ways (i just unscrewed 5th dead '20 year life!111' bulb this year, none were older than ~1y)
asciilifeform: it is chumpatronic.

asciilifeform: magical-newlines (unix diff) and parens-sexpr (lisps) is a pretty heavy impedance mismatch.
asciilifeform: it was a somewhat pathological example. but i will point out that in this system , mircea_popescu's tab-corrector patch would be 100% human-readable.
asciilifeform: has mircea_popescu ever tried to implement traditional unix diff ?
asciilifeform: the one thing i consider a major win here, compactness aside, is the freeness-from-inbandmagic.
asciilifeform: i dare say that a colourized, phf-style viewer can make the suggested char-differ quite readable in comparison with ye olde unixdiff.
asciilifeform: let's make example...

asciilifeform often wondered why the things can't simply be made threaded, and with variant thread
asciilifeform: seems to me like it might unduly empower miners.
asciilifeform: stock trb mempool
asciilifeform: while i like the 'diode' aspect of this scheme, i will say that my public nodes would fall down in about three seconds, and permanently, if the primitive autobanhammer of gaviniferously-symptomatic peers were to be switched off.
asciilifeform: and whatdoyoumean 'no tx', is the thing contemplated a wholly mempool-less node ?
asciilifeform: in the case of candidate-block and candidate-mempooltx queue receiver (from outside the walls), mircea_popescu proposes to throw out even the weak logic for banning obvious crapola that we have today in trb?
asciilifeform: in the tx case, anybody can overwrite legit tx in your buffer by dumping liquishit in.
asciilifeform: what happens when evilpeer dumps a TB of liquishit into the queue?
asciilifeform: and there are no provisions for safely ~removing a tx~ from mempool, ever, at all
asciilifeform: esp. if the actual computation is unbounded
asciilifeform: this is great from many pov but imposes own cost.
asciilifeform: they are arithmetical, because the designers insisted that the hash be computable in fixed number of cpu cycles.
asciilifeform: essentially, anything where you cannot, in any practical computer, express the hash's reversal as an n-sat problem
asciilifeform: but i could think of one definitive improvement over traditional hashes: non-algebraic (see recent 'rsa padding' thread) tranform
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: to take toy example: 'game of life' playing field state, with initial state S and move count M, naively might seem like good crypto
asciilifeform: (tldr -- a digital approximation of a complex process is 1) not ~the process itself~, noshit.jpg 2) not necessarily all that complex, in the chaos/avalanche sense, or in any way cryptologically hard)
asciilifeform: because the transition between 'irreducibly complex' and 'braindamagedly simple' phase space is unknown.
asciilifeform: (gyroscopic moment of the motor, but also differently-impacting stream from propeller on one wing vs other)
asciilifeform: (this is a certainty if the various components do not AT ALL TIMES agree)
asciilifeform: for the components to speak to one another.
asciilifeform: they will require a -- quite complicated -- entirely new protocol
asciilifeform: now you ~could~ make the -- imho very tenuous -- argument that mining logic is ~implicitly~ present in the block verification logic.
asciilifeform: this is why the original genesis was such a painful affair (and why it was and remains important to READ how i did it)
asciilifeform: your 'b' : mempool+networking, 'a' -- blockchain ?
asciilifeform: (really, a 'c', 'a' speaks blockchain and 'b' speaks mempool)
asciilifeform: so b there is the 'third' contemplated earlier.
asciilifeform: to take entirely random example, top-of-the-line 'wiha' multihead screwdrivers, ALL now have plastic handles

asciilifeform: didja know it is nearly impossible to buy pure-cu ethernet snake ?
asciilifeform: (sc4mz0rz invariably cu-plate it, to deceive simple-minded buyer)
asciilifeform: the other hypothesis that invites itself is the tlp/mp 'ceremonial object' one. the, e.g., static mat, was sold on a www with reviews, and not necessarily faux ones. many satisfied sheeples own various tools and NEVER USE, and they -- are quite happy!
asciilifeform: even simple thing, that i would have bet money no one could fuck up -- fucked up. ~year ago i bought 'antistatic mat', conductive rubber thing with coiled cord that goes to ground pin of mains socket, etc. that cord is now frayed in 11 places.

asciilifeform: but at any rate, this threatrical blinkenlight assemblage is simply to distract from the fact that the check IS NOT ENFORCED!
asciilifeform: arbitrarily, the comparison is only even performed if the magic is below LOCKTIME_THRESHOLD ( http://btc.yt/lxr/satoshi/source/src/main.h#0042 )
asciilifeform: the locktime thing is simply a hint that says 'usg-compliant miners, PLEEEZ dun mine this until block X'

asciilifeform: a doublespend is, in sane planet, STRICTLY attempt to spend coin that was already spent IN A BLOCK
asciilifeform: davout: the entire attempt to mechanically distinguish 'double' from normal spends is an evil prbism
asciilifeform: this is actually one of the reasons i insisted on eatblock and dumpblock
asciilifeform: mod6: 'create a tx' is np-complete (knapsack problem) so you can potentially end up with strange solutions. user MUST approve before firing.
asciilifeform: davout: mempool operation slows sync 100x

asciilifeform: (won't import in gpg, but ~will~ in js www-based shitpgptrons)
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the other obvious thing would be to dispense with 'real time submission' entirely, and when someone dumps in a key, it goes into next batch. but we discussed this earlier in this thread, it would mean that the thing cannot be used as sks-like tool.
asciilifeform: (and bernsteinization requires access to ~all~ moduli, as i think is obvious, and not simply 'most recent ones')
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: but yes, for next version (presently only exists in my notebook) there is a nursery and it gets merged into main table at night. but this makes for considerably more complex system, where there are two very distinct types of submission, 'realtime' and 'scripted' , and they get treated quite differently.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: actually i do not. because it will require 100x more complex mechanism.
asciilifeform: (in fact, dumping out the entire db, and properly bignumizing, takes about 3min total for the current db.)
asciilifeform: phf: actually the wwwtronic piece of phuctor is in python and does the precompiled queries thing
asciilifeform: i for one do not expect to live long enough to make a serious attempt at such a thing.
asciilifeform: so it has not been a priority, because batching will tremendously complicate the moving parts.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: 0 temp tables
asciilifeform: the fastest sync method, supposing one has access to a synced node, but also supposing that it won't do to simply copy the blocks (and it won't, you want to verify) is an eater-shitter system
asciilifeform: how about iterators? they are all explicit? million temp vars?
asciilifeform: the one obvious optimization i was considering was to avoid all dupe checks on key submit and simply deduplicate prior to each bernsteining. but this has serious cost in ui consistency, no more could submitters expect to see a result that is guaranteed to make sense after they submit.
asciilifeform: moreover, it's either ~completely-readable~ or 'dragons in a cave'.
asciilifeform: how much of 'what trinque wants here' is unobtainable by simply abusing the fs ?
asciilifeform: i've seriously considered reimplementing phuctor in this shape. as it is, it loses more from the slow writes idiotically queuing up, and the wedged reads that result, than it wins from fast structured queries.
asciilifeform: the important thing to observe , in each case, is whether it changed semantics in a way that can be ~understood~
asciilifeform: i suppose for completeness one ought to include a '5' -- foolish folx who think that 4GB / non-ECC ddr4 / etc. is a trb node

asciilifeform: not everybody wants to be involved with mega-empires, on the giving or on the receiving end. in that light, the pashtun mountains are every bit a 'high-tech' deterrent as a SAM battery.

asciilifeform: aaah if we're talking about fyootoor laws, then 'don't impeach! impale!'
asciilifeform: iirc you gotta actually hold office for impeachment in usa. but -- ianal.
asciilifeform: Optimum compression would reduce the size
asciilifeform: (you can actually pick'n'choose components of standard libs)
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: 1) there is exactly one implementation 2) by... mozilla 3) there is exactly 1 backend 4) which is... llvm 5) the users.
asciilifeform: r, credit card number as well as more mundane data, like hair colour and favourite dish, are called attributes in this model. Some of these attributes are not identifying (e.g. age or hair colour) whereas others are (e.g. name or social security number). An attribute-based credential is a cryptographic container for attributes represented as integers. The two most important technologies that realise attribute based credentials are Mi
asciilifeform: 'In most computer-related scientific work a digital identity is considered to be a set of characteristics describing certain properties about an individual. This set is dynamic, and depends on the context in which the individual is known. The attribute-based credential technology implements this model; see for instance [Camenisch et al., 2011,Alpár and Jacobs, 2013]. Personal characteristics, such as age, name, social security numbe

[3] The construction of this scheme required a library for working with points on an elliptic curve, [4] which Henry de Valence and I have implemented in Rust, using a curve25519 in Edwards form. Henry has made more detailed announcement of our curve25519-dalek library on the curves mailing list, [5] and our documentation is also available online. [6]'

asciilifeform: asciilifeform for example can't stand the prepared kind.
asciilifeform: not quite so simple, e.g., c++11 ~dunwork under 4.x, and you're stuck with 'boost' and other abortions to make up for the missing functionality.
asciilifeform: very basic jobs, comprehensible even to a retarded lemur, remain screamingly undone.
asciilifeform: esp. because ciphers are a blindingly obvious 'political art', where if you aren't schneier et al, you don't get printed in journals, invited to conferences, implemented by open sores monkeys, etc.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: more dire, even, than this, we aren't dealing with 20 years of disinfo artistry, but ~70 ! hagelin, crypto-ag, etc. and the entire poppycock of transposition ciphers surviving into computer age
asciilifeform: pipeline doesn't leak timing either, because - if implemented correctly - you never branch on a secret (key or plaintext) bit.
asciilifeform: more or less simply declared 'history, done with'
asciilifeform: davout: it was a loud, public wank, ~impossible to 'unhappen' to any reasonable degree
asciilifeform: the political history is also rather interesting (it was on track to winning the 'aes competition', received fewest thumbs-down votes from the panelists, but mysteriously torpedoed by usg and did not win)
asciilifeform: ditto the huawei boxes, the voip thing, whatever it was called, and the dozen or so other examples i catalogued in recent months

asciilifeform: 'Sorry, not going to do it. I know I'm going to hear comments from you: "it's no problem, just do it, works great, it's how it's done nowadays, the standard of practice, everyone does it, you're old fashioned, ignore the overhead, memory is cheap, blah blah blah." Sorry: no. No! This is software complexity pollution. You need one little thing, but then it requires another, and another, and before long you're installing (and maintaini

asciilifeform: for comparison.

asciilifeform: but the implementation.
