(trilema) ben_vulpes: <decimation> gov't pays for such 'research', most of which is pointless: http://www.sbir.gov/ << people say: "do this!" and I say "what innovation? we duct tape thinger a to tab b and make clients happy." they do not understand, and i cannot enlighten them without calling into question that which they value themselves upon.

(trilema) ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: precisely the point. owner's pedigree is the only thing backing a premined coin whose mining network is controlled entirely by the owner.

(trilema) ben_vulpes: it ain't that late
(trilema) ben_vulpes: consider though, the coin whose owner controls its network. 'mpexcoin' vs. 'goxcoin'. one trades at an indistinguishable discount (mp claims premium) from market, the other traded at a notable discount (eventually).

(trilema) ben_vulpes: <asciilifeform> be glad for the bell. << amen. i recently undertook to build a piece of 'golden cage' 'software' to ship over to a client. required 'upgrading' 'xcode', which required 'upgrading' 'os x', a thing i'd been avoiding on principle as the bell shows up every time i plug the shitbox in.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: etc etc etc etc
(trilema) ben_vulpes: one man's greed another man's short against the shartup market.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: one man's incompetence another's malice.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: incompetence, malice, who can ever tell.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: JuliaTourianski_: talk to nanotube if you want it changed. say "please" - he's a nice guy.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: mp_sails: just 'cause she claims it dun mean i buy it to any degree. larvae are larvae.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: <mp_sails> if i actually sailed myself i'd prolly sink the whole show << daw it ain't that hard
(trilema) ben_vulpes: JuliaTourianski_: why'd you keep the underscore?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: <mp_sails> mats_cd03, look into the crazed effects on the lower middle class, where people who could afford insurance before can't anymore, too. because htey're now not poor enough to be poor and not rich enough to be rich. << true story. i can't really afford the shit now.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: mats_cd03: nyc actulolly

(trilema) ben_vulpes: "I bet yams would make it even oranger. God, imagine the foodie irony such children present: I will make a roasted vegetable bechamel cheese sauce to appease your desire for processed American food products"
(trilema) ben_vulpes: from the girl: "A cool thing I discovered is that squash makes the bechamel almost kraft colored, so if we ever have children who refuse to eat white mac n cheese, I can TRICK THEM"
(trilema) ben_vulpes: wow you're crushing hard danielpbarron
(trilema) ben_vulpes: just want to bang on a drum all day?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: *ding ding ding*
(trilema) ben_vulpes: i mean he caught a nobel peace price, but eventually overcame it

(trilema) ben_vulpes: so long as we're on the same page.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: which supports my point of block interval as fundamental unit of time.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: registrar doth not confer time magically, though
(trilema) ben_vulpes: if you need precise time measures, watch an atom wobble. if you need "thing happened at time", measure it by block number.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: timestamp being an artifact of derps.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: still, rolling eyes. the only important thing is which block the event confirmed in.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: that just means that the consensual time thing is poorly fucking engineered.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: i'm rolling my eyes so hard at you my head hurts
(trilema) ben_vulpes: now, clearly, i'm not reading source right now.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: A timestamp is accepted as valid if it is greater than the median timestamp of previous 11 blocks, and less than the network-adjusted time + 2 hours. "Network-adjusted time" is the median of the timestamps returned by all nodes connected to you.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: whose clock?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: even "time" must bow to the blockchain.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: when it was found? broadcast? accepted by first node? achieved 51% acceptance?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: when did that block happen?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: but adequate for pinning events to history.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: not terribly useful for measuring, say, stamina in bed
(trilema) ben_vulpes: the point i'm making (poorly) is that the block is a nifty fundamental unit of time.
(trilema) ben_vulpes is frantically searching on digest algos
(trilema) ben_vulpes: digest of thing is related to time how?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: or whomevers.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: depends on assbot notion of time.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: ya plz, the log'd benefit.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: i read some shit on irc one time
(trilema) ben_vulpes: spec seems like formal term
(trilema) ben_vulpes: whose computer, what tz, and why even bother with time?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: how does this date pinning work?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: ask i mean to say.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: i tell ya, if i and my counterparty agree on a block, what's the point?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: now, a specific block in the chain - that means something.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: what is time, anyways...
(trilema) ben_vulpes: i want to timestamp a thing, i just put the hash of the latest block in in it and then sign the fucker. counterparty ibid, presto, contract pinned to blockchain.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: so dates are lame, right?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: nah, i just have a lot of man beef.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: i also suspect that skin oils make a nice little bottom layer
(trilema) ben_vulpes: jurov: you're missing a duration qualifier there

(trilema) ben_vulpes: i mean w.t.f.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: one use case that made some modicum of sense was this one dood's fuckpalace, but i was always amused that he couldn't just get down in public at the burn
(trilema) ben_vulpes: "hi i'm subjecting myself to burning man but i want a temperature regulated environment but i can't afford an rv RENTAL"
(trilema) ben_vulpes: i for one think the burning man use case is hilarious
(trilema) ben_vulpes: tents a shit
(trilema) ben_vulpes: see the paupery story for details on other "engineering" criteria missing from the conversation.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: or a thing that i can knock together in the middle of nowhere for next to nothing
(trilema) ben_vulpes: for a retarded markup
(trilema) ben_vulpes: made by a giant corporation in the business of fabbing horrible shitboard boxes
(trilema) ben_vulpes: i really need a pressed shitboard housebox
(trilema) ben_vulpes: oh yeah shit
(trilema) ben_vulpes: this has heat xfer implications that you've not considered.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: The20YearIRCloud: double-shell implies an air insulation layer
(trilema) ben_vulpes: also source?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: jesus it's like engineering never happened around here.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: The20YearIRCloud: so double-shell it.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: i mean separation of panels? lifting of the thing?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: The20YearIRCloud: you can use plywood.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: load condition?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: bolted, yeah.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: JuliaTourianski_: you've not bothered to read the link, i gather.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: i mean - did we learn nothing from Buckminster Fuller?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: having been in them.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: (linked previously)
(trilema) ben_vulpes: hexayurts are incredibly poorly engineered.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: ;;rate JuliaTourianski_ 1 new blood
(trilema) ben_vulpes: mine, you missed the semis
(trilema) ben_vulpes: ;;rate JuliaTourianski_ 1 new blod
(trilema) ben_vulpes: yeah, except for the terrifying usg war machine.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: no meat, no veg. just foamed corn syrup with 'nutrients'.

(trilema) ben_vulpes: well, "what's a key?"
(trilema) ben_vulpes: (julia_: that's a good place to start with creating your own keys and keeping them safe. this is just as important as keeping your btc privkey safe, if not more so.)

(trilema) ben_vulpes: but if you're stuck with a tool that holds you'll only ever want to en/decrypt emails, you've been sold a load.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: julia_: there's no cost to WoT entry beyond showing up with keys. if you can decrypt a string encrypted to your public key, you can enter the WoT.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: julia_: can you encrypt and decrypt arbitrary strings with that or just emails?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: julia_: since you're falling down the black hole, have you dabbled in GPG yet?
