asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: disappointing, but unsurprising. in usa also riots ~always like that -- the designated 'kindling' (i.e. slums) burn, and (almost...) never the skyscrapers.
asciilifeform: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/asciilifeform/2019-12-01#1002958 << shortly after commenting had the realization that surely diana_coman was discussing something other than the diff/press per se -- so left off, will read detail if/when posted
snsabot: Logged on 2019-12-01 08:08:10 diana_coman: sure, mechanically the actual press takes max 1 min.

asciilifeform: !q uptime
snsabot: asciilifeform: time since my last reconnect : 29d 0h 15m
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Well this is the early going, these things seem like they are trying to bait a reaction. Supposedly next weekend there will be a heavier police presence in the area where these things are starting.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: what kinda riot is a 'weekend affair' ?! iirc bmore burned for 2wks straight..
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Well, remember the spot near the MONTEVIDEO sign where the locals go everynight to hit their mate crack pipes on the hillside? This appears to be the younger fraction of those derps that gathers in the area a bit later.
BingoBoingo: They just really don't know how to riot
BingoBoingo: And their supply lines to get to where they are going to be disorderly are long.
BingoBoingo: Most of these folks gotta spend at least an hour on the bus to get back home.
BingoBoingo: From what I understand, Baltimore rioted in their own neighborhood.
asciilifeform: lol BingoBoingo , what sorta riot is it where the buses still run?! them buses oughta be upside-down and burnin'
BingoBoingo: Low energy derps
asciilifeform: evidently
BingoBoingo: Who seriously don't know how to do it.
BingoBoingo: My walk yesterday showed that they were learning basic shit like "how to break glass" as they went along.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: In Uruguayos never leave their own homes http://archive.is/AigEd
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: saw ( tuned into #t still -- simply mp asked me not to spam his chan, so i honoured this req )
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Just the broken assumptions. "No people never go from one barrio to another" "No, the navy police isn't really the navy despite being the biggest thing the navy does" "Kids breaking shit can't be labeled rebels because they don't wankily write manifestos before they start breaking shit"
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: football rioters also then 'rebels' ?
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Nah, football rioters are more a product of marketing keeping they from effectively rebelling.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i dun think anyone's 'effectively rebelled' since 1959 or so
BingoBoingo: Saint Louis, Baltimore, and the other mid-size US inner cities appear to have done so.
asciilifeform: maybe i'm thick, but was in bmore not too long ago and saw it still flying usg flag
asciilifeform: ( and e.g. the docks were still packed w/ nomenklatura yachts, 'wives with voices like unoiled hinges'(tm)(r)(orlov), and not revolutionary armada...)
BingoBoingo: Some folks just don't seem to have ambitions outside their own neighborhood.
asciilifeform: hey jfw : is your scheme wallet prototype published somewhere ?
asciilifeform found in particular interesting 'Using those fixnum extensions I was able to replace some quotient/remainder ops in the older bignum code with bitwise ops, which gave a 12% speedup in address generation. Further optimizations are possible but would require a deeper dig from what I'm seeing.'
asciilifeform: e.g. ^ sounds like textbook case for barrett .
