mircea_popescu: anyway, the major problem immediately becomes http://btcbase.org/log/2016-10-17#1556179
asciilifeform: other problem is that - orders of magnitude cheaper to shoot, than to build.
mircea_popescu: i expect the large sats to be actually weaved, but the materials aren't there yet (and no word on weaved nuclear reactor yet, either)
mircea_popescu: the exact same is true of... well... steel. wtf are you going to make the 850`000 ton megasat out of ? "um... poured concrete ?" "what the fuck!?" "hey it worked for bridge engineering"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform anyway, evidently gas diffusion was a problem. but this was re hypothetical item which is still ant-sized in body, but has really lengthy legs, rather than proportionate scaling

asciilifeform: this in fact happens naturally in city envir, and is called 'multipath', makes the receiver output ~randomola
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the current way gps/glonass works is not authenticated by definition, as you correctly point out.

mircea_popescu: "already saw 59065409405, disregarding the newer one"
asciilifeform: satellite nav systems work by 'which sats do i see, and what order are the relative signal strengths'. neither is authenticable .

asciilifeform: or the 'dpr' d00d, who may as well be dead for all i know
gabriel_laddel: "yer not a man then!" OK ya, am total wage slave / bitch to someone willing to kill for it. fine by me
asciilifeform: i'd like to hear where gabriel_laddel intends to put the castle
trinque: lol, what do you do, hobble up to the door and knock, ask for change?
gabriel_laddel: where was the thread where MP notes the only stable life is in ransacking other's castles...
trinque: yes, the splitting is also a speed user thing
ben_vulpes: b-but building a fortress and carving a domain of sovereignty out is antithetical to the digital nomad ideal, trinque !
trinque: not that I see any point in the 300th rehash of gabriel_laddel
trinque: if he spent any time stabilizing his life, he wouldn't have the urgency that excuses the drug habits
gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform because the coke-selling part of the CIA has not yet wanted to own btc
trinque: and any of this is relevant to the republic how
ben_vulpes: all i see is the same old same fuckin old excuses for not having the readies and willingness to do what it takes to operate a full node
trinque: this whole thing is the tweaker's "am fine, everything's fine" loop. only reason he comes by
ben_vulpes: eh i don't care to engage in these hallucinations
a111: Logged on 2016-12-01 18:19 asciilifeform: but quite destructive to folx who are doing equivalent of ~planning~ the march
gabriel_laddel: ben_vulpes yeah -- when suddenly the _general public_ (ie gov/cia/fbi pensioners) realizes they need to hold btc and come to beat it out of whoever
gabriel_laddel: ben_vulpes yer right regarding the lack of cash...
gabriel_laddel: I don't want to hold btc until the inversion happens
ben_vulpes: dude the best thing you could be doing right now is living out of a shoebox and extracting as many dollars from the sv machine to turn into btc as you possibly can.
gabriel_laddel: fu am going to take on all the things anyways
a111: Logged on 2017-11-29 18:29 asciilifeform: ^ there does not currently exist a decent pcb cad. at. all.
trinque: every speed head gets high, thinks he's gonna take on all the things
asciilifeform: trinque: possibly this is the culture in his monkeystan, it sounds familiar
asciilifeform: not sure when i last did something where kbd speed was remotely the bottleneck.
a111: Logged on 2014-12-01 02:29 asciilifeform experimented with dvorak a few times over the years, found that he doesn't enter enough human language text to make the effort worthwhile
asciilifeform: did it run over yer ethernet cord
asciilifeform: ( even the places where it will get stuck, are quite predictable. one sticks magnetic rubber to the floor, it has reed switch and avoids )
asciilifeform: gabriel_laddel: 'neato' vacuum doesn't do the random walk thing, it laser-scans the surrounding room (1d) and does edges, then colours 'in' the insides. pretty predictable.
asciilifeform: there's an ancient and now-unsupported closed warez turd. and a buncha open sores that dun work ~at all. ( on linux, i dun give a fuck what exists for microshit )
gabriel_laddel: afaict, the lack of a CAD program to input the clean routines is the only reason I get interrupted by cleaners in whatever lounge I happen to be working in
asciilifeform: ^ there does not currently exist a decent pcb cad. at. all.
asciilifeform: btw gabriel_laddel there is a massive unfilled hole in cad-dom ,
gabriel_laddel: totally hypothetical, I'm just sticking this on the end of "gimme job plz" emails along with some connective tissue
asciilifeform: also can see this cad ? or hypothetical yet

asciilifeform: ( grrr, where is the link! it's a jpeg, on trilema somewhere ! )
ben_vulpes: "sekuhara" being the noise little japanese girls emitted in storms of arousal when i played in japan as a youf
ben_vulpes: it's the sekuhara fire sweeping la nacion!
BingoBoingo: Matt Lauer, was her demoocracy's bitch boy comforting the old biddies and making them feel relevant
ben_vulpes: and the truuuuuly hilarious thing is that howard stern has yet to fall to the #metoo crowd (possibly won't?), which just goes to show that there is zero strength in the defense of being nice and appeasing the everyone.
ben_vulpes: keillor was a liberal entertainment darling, right up there with ira glass for trophy of most inoffensive and least entertaining person that Everyone Agrees Is Just Amazing
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: They are emoticons of USian attempt at having a cultured. Matt Lauer is NBC's younger man hosting morning news show for older women.
asciilifeform: who are any of these
BingoBoingo: And their list... fucking idiot slabs and headphones
BingoBoingo: And in other news, Conde Naste has decidedly quit the jet set: " Holiday gift guide 2017 — The 2017 Ars Technica gadget gift guide: On-the-go and travel tech edition We reflected on a year of testing to find the best tech for your next road trip."
asciilifeform: otherwise what do we have.
asciilifeform: spends most of its time not having any notion that the next block exists.
mircea_popescu: otherwise bitcoin can't be used.
asciilifeform: as it is, that thing spends 99% of cpu filling up disk with the familiar ERROR: ConnectInputs() : d84dc3e02d mapTransactions prev not found f74a08a53a
asciilifeform: the sync mechanism is retarded beyond belief ( see l0gz )
