kncminer_is_a_sc: KNCMINER IS A SCAM! 5 month late house burning hardware is Useless now, useless. Refund me you gotterdammerung scammers!
mircea_popescu: kncminer_is_a_sc no shit lmao
kncminer_is_a_sc: Damn you KNC!!!! DAMN YOU STRAIGHT TO HEELLLLLL!!!!
ben_vulpes: "accounts" in btc wallets are kind of stupid, right?
mircea_popescu: kind of ?
ben_vulpes: i'm trying to think of sensible use cases
ben_vulpes: but i keep coming back to "i only want to know the balances and histories of these addresses"
assbot: Bitcoin was written by the retarded, part II pe Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
ben_vulpes: ya there we go
mircea_popescu: yeah nice piece pixie.
mircea_popescu: undata yer welcome.
mircea_popescu: "He then tried to pay with PayPal, and we unsuspended the machines. About 6 hours later the payments were disputed with PayPal as unauthorized and we then suspended again." << wow, carding too ?!
mircea_popescu: perfect pretext for bitstamp to steal even more coins.
mircea_popescu: just in case it's not obvious already, keeping any balances on bitstamp or sending any bitcoin to bitstamp is beyond retarded.
mircea_popescu: try to not do that so you don't ned up like the 62c5186b@gateway/web/freenode/ip.98.197.24.107 retard.

assbot: Manifesto Vows to Give Consumers Control of Digital Identitieshttp://t.co/CRZsd73VUgby /SarahLizChar http://t.co/PDY66TFmzd
ThickAsThieves: nice pic
mircea_popescu: i dun get it.
mircea_popescu: how do consumers not have such control ? or ?
ThickAsThieves: it's a woman lookin like she shit her pants, from Ripple, saying,
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 62695 @ 0.00074101 = 46.4576 BTC [+] {2}
ThickAsThieves: "Innovation isnt inherently incompatible with regulation"
mircea_popescu: course it isn't.
mircea_popescu: the usg however, IS inherently incompatible with regulation.
mircea_popescu: because we're making the rules, not the fucking other way around, what is this.
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 3305 @ 0.00074123 = 2.4498 BTC [+]
ThickAsThieves: do we each get to make a rule?
mircea_popescu: sure. and enforce it, too.
mircea_popescu: better scam than sorry.
mircea_popescu: ripple's problem is more like "we enabled some scammers stealing a buncha coins" tho.
decimation: one can see why they would need to convince usg why they are very good little slaves
mircea_popescu: already convicted otherwise. better be useful.
decimation: since usg is a dim and neglectful master, they get away with it
mircea_popescu: it's funny that the us lost the "innovation" war back in 2013, and then lost the finance war. no smart kids, no rich kids,
mircea_popescu: its only hope now rests with the felons.
mircea_popescu: who knows, perhaps it has enough criminals that they become a significant minority in the new world, giving it some claim.
decimation: the us has plenty of high iq people, it's just that in general their efforts are misdirected into idiocy
mircea_popescu: so what's that do for me ?
ThickAsThieves: ripple is basically grasping for, Bitcoin for Banks, All the tech, none of the darkwebmunny
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves yeah, it and all the 500 other derps.
undata: decimation: or they get so depressed they barely function
mircea_popescu: "we have yet another version of bitcoin without bitcoin, choose us, because this works!!11"
ThickAsThieves: Bonus Undocumented Feature: Print Bitcoins!
decimation: this is a peculiar habit in the us: trying to find a 'technical' solution for a very human problem
mircea_popescu: like dildos ?
mircea_popescu: but it props the economy! :D
mircea_popescu: undata is that experience speaking ?
ThickAsThieves: conserve energy!
undata: mircea_popescu: I've seen it happen to friends brighter than I am.
undata: as for me, I keep myself moving hoping to strike at the thing myself someday
undata: but I've yet to make a pile, so that comes first
asciilifeform: not one in ten thousand shall leave the mines.
asciilifeform: that's sorta how it works.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i dunno, but i dun believe so.
mircea_popescu: pretty much everyone leaves the mines. part of why "big government" is so lulzy.
asciilifeform: 'leave the mines' - live as idle gentleman scholar.
mircea_popescu: i mean... how many east germans joined west germany ? ... all of em ?
asciilifeform: a la taleb
mircea_popescu: we were talkin of different things
asciilifeform sees arbeit macht frei as arbeit macht frei under whatever flag, equally odious
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: he did say 'I've yet to make a pile' - suggestive of the usual lament of folks who despair of ever buying their freedom
asciilifeform: (esp. while young enough to make something constructive of it)
undata: eh, I'll get there
PinkPosixPXE: Thanks thestringpuller and mircea_popescu :)

mircea_popescu: yeah srsly.
pete_dushenski: [–]gavinandresen[S] 26 points an hour ago Biggest misconception: That Bitcoin will Topple Governments and the Powerful. Governments will do what they always do -- they will adapt (well, the worst ones will fail, causing misery and suffering; maybe Bitcoin will speed that up a little, and mitigate the misery a little).
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski oyu know, if anyone gave a shit about either gavin or reddit they'd just go there.
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu granted :)

kakobrekla: i can make a zip
RagnarDanneskjol: would be most grateful for it
bounce: ``I'd rather not speculate in an open forum about the best ways to screw with Bitcoin.'' (Perish_In_a_Fire) -- aww.
asciilifeform: ^ last 2000 ln.
mircea_popescu: what, our security lies in obscurity now ?
ben_vulpes: it'd be neat if he'd differentiate between Bitcoin the reference implementation which is bug-ridden and shitty, and Bitcoin the protocol which doesn't exist.
mircea_popescu: so "governments" will prevail, as fucking if there can even be such a thing as a government other than bitcoin ; and bitcoin gotta hide its misshapen form in the dark.
mircea_popescu: i totally wish to read more idiocy from this gavin puppet.
kakobrekla: asciilifeform saves the day
kakobrekla: literally.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes it exists, it's just not been made.
kakobrekla: anyway RagnarDanneskjol what do you want in the zip? csv? sql? a puddle? daily files?
Adlai is quite curious to see what happens if/when changes such as a the blocksize hardfork get pushed to the reference implementation
mircea_popescu: this is sort-of like wanting to see what happens if/when the soviets finally decide to cross fulda ?
Adlai: "some people just wanna see the world burn" ^_^
mircea_popescu: i'm all for it, the level of either cluelessness or desperation such a move entails is promising.
Adlai: such a drastic change would definitely cast this issue (and others) into the limelight, until now it's been confined to a few IRC channels and blog posts
bounce: with enough hashrate on 0.6 (or whichever, maintained etc.) and staying there, hardforks are bound to fizzle. could try and talk to large pool operators.
Adlai: as much as the timecube's four days revolve around the WoT, I wouldn't be surprised if most of the people who have heard about the hardfork proposal haven't heard any competing argument against it
mats_cd03: the only opinion that matters is that of miners.
mats_cd03: and... they won't let themselves get shit on.
Adlai: miners are people too, and people don't always make the best decisions. even if they act rationally, they might not be aware of all the information about an issue.
mats_cd03: uh...
chetty: You've long been a proponent of the "Bitcoin is an experiment" line of thinking. While that is technically true, so is "Gravity is just a theory". What needs to happen for you to switch from "Bitcoin is an experiment" to "Bitcoin is established"?
chetty: permalink
chetty: [–]gavinandresen[S] 38 points an hour ago
chetty: We need regulatory clarity, ease of use, and no-single-point-of-failure security.
chetty: I think we're very close on all of those things.
RagnarDanneskjol: kakobrekla - sorry nevermind -apparently Azelphur has everything logged since the beginning of time. I can throw it up somewhere for whoevers wants it
assbot: gavinandresen comments on I'm Gavin Andresen, Chief Scientist at the Bitcoin Foundation. Ask me anything!
mircea_popescu: Adlai the "most people" argument is pretty much nil.
mircea_popescu: most bitcoin reads mp way before it remembers who the fuck this gavin schmuck is.
mircea_popescu: because money doesn't think all that much of code monkeys. and definitely isn't going to start taking their ideas of how to manage things seriously.
Adlai: how closely coupled are "most bitcoin" and "most hashrate"?
mircea_popescu: it hasn't happened yet, in 100 years of computing.
mircea_popescu: most hashrate is a secondary factor here.
mircea_popescu: yeah, it's possible miners won't make the best decision. this was illustrated yesterday, when the atc miners failed to make the best decision.
diametric: maybe i'm mistaken but doesn't the white paper basically state a hard fork will be required in the future to address scalability?
mircea_popescu: their failure was signalled to them within minutes, and they obeyed that signal in an hour.
mircea_popescu: bitcoin will work no different.
othernubs`: ah, i forgot you can disable the backlight on this thing
othernubs`: outdoor irc, here i cum
mircea_popescu: diametric among a bevy of similar nonsense.
Apocalyptic: <mircea_popescu> yeah, it's possible miners won't make the best decision. this was illustrated yesterday, when the atc miners failed to make the best decision. // btw that was pretty impressive
mircea_popescu: after a fashion.
kakobrekla: RagnarDanneskjol if you can put them in order i can include them online (before the log starts)
Adlai: it'd be a little funny if all the devs agreed to the hardfork, got a working patch together, then went miner by miner and couldn't get a single one to agree to switch
mircea_popescu: they'd just be a iota more ridiculously pointless than they are today
mircea_popescu: which in the grand scheme of things isn't really much at all. they've already fucked the goat in the public market long ago
mircea_popescu: eating some earthworms or w/e isn't really doing much anymore.

pakaloloz: How scary....
Adlai: so just as gavin is doing his AMA, i get a request to buy coins from "gavi". coincidence? i think not!
pakaloloz: I do think this may be as DPB says "#badforbitcoin"
Adlai hasn't figured out yet whether any of what happens on btcjam is not btcscam
Adlai: although admittedly i've spent a grand total of about fifteen seconds trying
kakobrekla: <Adlai> so just as gavin is doing his AMA, i get a request to buy coins from "gavi". < you be in wrong channels
mircea_popescu: Adlai there's not that much in a name.
Adlai will ask gavi what he thinks of the hardfork
assbot: We rode a $10,000 hoverboard, and you can too
fluffypony: want.
xanthyos: hoverboards don't work on water. not unless you have power.
asciilifeform: 'theoretically raise a building off of its foundation during an earthquake, essentially rendering the natural disaster's tremors harmless' << newton's laws crying from neglect
asciilifeform: the leper's bell of retarded sc4mz0rz - a flagrant and malignant disregard for elementary physics
xanthyos: but if the ground unit vibrated so too would its magnetic field and thus the building
xanthyos: though it would absorb shock
asciilifeform: why should it absorb shock?
asciilifeform: not that an electromagnetic shock absorber is impossible - it exists, and has for years - but no magic here.
asciilifeform: and magnetically-floated item is not resting on 'nothing at all', yes.
xanthyos: well there would have to be magnets in the ground to create the field for the building to be repulsed from in the event of an earthquake
asciilifeform: i have a very special, very deep loathing for 'kickstart' sc4mz0rs. especially of this particular species.
Apocalyptic: asciilifeform, to be fair it's not the newton's law that is neglected here, but the fact that you won't get a magnetic field even close to be powerfull enough to support that weight
asciilifeform: nope. even with infinitely strong magnetic effect, the ground is still taking up the weight, and were it to move, would propagate vibration to the 'levitated' object.
mike_c: on kickstarter those guys are selling a hover board for $450 that.. doesn't hover.
xanthyos: that propagated vibration would be less than the vibration the building would experience without the field gap between it and the ground magnets
Apocalyptic: "and were it to move, would propagate vibration to the 'levitated' object." that's assuming a magnetic field of constant power, right ?
asciilifeform: they are selling 'hope, chance,' chope, hange.
xanthyos: unless they were "smartmagnets" that could generate the inverse wave to the vibration to cancel it out in the same way that some car radios use microphones to cancel out road noise
xanthyos: of course, a hacker could then simulate an earthquake on that building to the same extent of magnitude that the smartmagnets were designed to resist against
asciilifeform: say ground moves 20cm down and then 30cm back up, earthquake. or fell into a ditch. cancel that.
pete_dushenski: lol these contravex commenters are getting angrier and angrier: http://www.contravex.com/2014/10/20/software-doesnt-fail-socialism-does/#comment-3605
assbot: Software Doesn’t Fail. Socialism Does. | Contravex: A blog by Pete Dushenski
xanthyos: oh if the ground level changes that much there's no way a magnetic field could hold it consistently
xanthyos: project fail.
xanthyos: also the bouncing of the building would put equal force on the ground and magnetically try to push away the ground structure even more
mircea_popescu: o look, there's a 20 yo junior rabbi in the house. lmao.

bounce: wouldn't benevolence require some sort of intelligence or something?
mircea_popescu: bounce yes, it is begging the question.
mircea_popescu: obviously nothing in nature can be "benevolent" seeing how human agency is an ulterior layer.
mircea_popescu: it's like asking for an "app aware" tcp/ip implementation.
mircea_popescu: othernubs` i tell you, i love my gold ink cards.
bounce: inasmuch as that humanity is part of nature, though picturing itself above it.
mircea_popescu: bounce no, inasmuch as fist though your skull moves the matter of your skull around in one way, but MEANS in a number of different arbitrary ways
bounce: this doesn't compute. take your hand outta my brains and try again?
othernubs`: mircea_popescu, latest job is biz cards and letterheads w/ gold ink for a boutique hotel
mircea_popescu: bounce i dunno how.
mircea_popescu: let's try it this way. suppose there's a cathedral tower with a clock.
mircea_popescu: what's the time ?
othernubs`: depends how far away the tower is
mircea_popescu: othernubs` o, you want fist in skull too ?
othernubs`: tell me i'm wrong ;)
othernubs` cackles
mircea_popescu: you're not wrong or right, we're not there yet. just waiting for bounce to pick a time.
othernubs`: do it, bounce!
bounce: well, try this on first: "tcp/ip" generally refers to the whole stack. supposing you really ment IP (layer 3, conventionally), then "app aware" (with app: layer 7) would be a bit of a layer violation.
mircea_popescu: bounce exactly my point.
mircea_popescu: "benevolence" as an objective quality is a layer violation.
bounce: I ment that layer 7 still needs the lower layers to function, it doesn't float in air
mircea_popescu: no, it doesn't need them "to function", because it functioning is not a layer 7 thing.
undata: well and even among apps, "benevolence" could be defined differently
mircea_popescu: undata awareness, not benevolence. map correctly!
undata: that's a much harder term to define.
bounce: what is benevolence, really? apparently we can have malicious packets and software, but benevolent ones?
bounce: er, tcp doesn't do crap without ip to transport it. the layers do build on each other
Adlai: malefactors gonna malefact but packets just pack
chetty: isnt the difference between malicious and benevolent and mattr of viewpoint?
mircea_popescu: bounce that is just a manner of speaking.
mircea_popescu: they're obviously not malicious in and of themselves.
Adlai: well there is a missing object. malice and benevolence don't exist in a vacuum, they have to be directed at something
mircea_popescu: just, the fucktards that write about things they don;'t understand, when they're not busy husslking pete in his comment section,
bounce: it does include a value judgement. so it'd require a judging facility
mircea_popescu: misuse the words.
mircea_popescu: bounce it's irrelevant what it "does" at the level where ip is defined, see ?
mircea_popescu: stop mixing utility into ideality, that's not how thinking works.
bounce: "zomg rude!" -- some new guy with no clue of the local rules. << appears to be an american thing?
mircea_popescu: makes no difference "what use is the sun to us", that's an ontological point not an ethical one.
bounce: so there's no ethics to archimedes' mirrors?
mircea_popescu: othernubs`> imagine living in a world where logic can fail <<< that's life in a "social sciences" universe.
mircea_popescu: their logic fails all the god damned time, mostly because it's not logic, self-supported, it's dreamweaving
mircea_popescu: and dreamweaving MUST be constantly maintained.
bounce: warzones typically are unhinging because there's no rhyme or reason to the happenings.
mircea_popescu: http://trilema.com/2009/inchipuiti-va/ << this is incidentally great reading on the topic, albeit in languages.
assbot: Inchipuiti-va pe Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
bounce: (thus we conclude that wars are applied social science)
mircea_popescu: not rly.
bounce: Y U NO LIEK my logic?
mircea_popescu: warzones are "unhinging" because the complexity of "society" is a function of the mean distance between individual and his own death
mircea_popescu: if that is reduced significantly, the need for some forms goes away.
mircea_popescu: that's why the classical, 19th century murican has the reputation of being uncouth and direct and undecourous in europe
mircea_popescu: cuz he got to see his own death on average a lot closer than the average yurpean
bounce: I'd say the predictability is the more valued property there
mircea_popescu: how so ?
bounce: if everybody lives to, say, 30, then dies without fail, it's a fact of life
mircea_popescu: you ever been in a warzone ?
chetty: bounce, ever see 'Logan's Run' ?
bounce: no, and I'd like to keep it that way, TYVM
mircea_popescu: but it's nonsense. who the fuck thinks about "the future" lol. people in a warzone think about cunt, and maybe good cognac.
bounce: haven't seen it, roughly know the plot. probably should take the time sometime.
chetty: people died at 30 ...

undata: it's interesting that one could ask himself whether it's ethical to establish the conditions necessary for ethical reasoning, but only under the necessary conditions...
mircea_popescu: wait, wut ?!
mircea_popescu: one can ask no ethical questions about ontos.
mircea_popescu: you can ask, "is it ethical to kill this man", you can not ask "is it ethical for this man to have been killed." obviously, he's dead, so nevermind.
undata: right, ethics concerns action
mircea_popescu: and confusing "was it ethical for this man to be kiled at he point in the past when he was" with "is it" is so fuckin dumb
undata: I was proceeding from the point about war
mircea_popescu: it automatically paints one as an intellectual failure of the english speaking school of idiocy.
mircea_popescu: anyway. there's no ethical violation in the dead being dead, no matter how they got to be there, nor in the raped to be dripping cum, nor in any other thing that is. they're fine as they are ; being trumps fretting.
undata: or, the present is all there is
mircea_popescu: something like that.
mircea_popescu: depends where you're going with it.
undata: talking about what's ethical in the present is hard to generalize
undata: that's what I was referring to above re: apps
undata: depends on what your goals are, and why, and why, and why

Apocalyptic: <asciilifeform> nope. even with infinitely strong magnetic effect, the ground is still taking up the weight, and were it to move, would propagate vibration to the 'levitated' object. // this is true but of no help to the argument, since if you can predict the amplitude/frequency of the "earthquake", you can impose the same variations on the intensity of the current generating your magnetic field
bounce: that means you'd be amplifying the whole thing
Apocalyptic: hence making the object go up or down relatively to the magnetic support, nullifying the eartquake (again all this in theory)
Apocalyptic: well bounce for the sake of the argument let's take the magnetic field generated by a simple solenoid
Apocalyptic: its strength is linear in I
Apocalyptic: what is this "whole thing" you consider ?
bounce: sure you can build a magnetic dampener; things with antiphase and enough room to move and things
Apocalyptic: afaik that was the topic yes
bounce: that doesn't mean that a big large fixed magnetic field will magically cushion any and all vibration, which I understand was the point
Apocalyptic: bounce, never I have seen the word "fixed"

asciilifeform: TheNewDeal: ~31
asciilifeform: TheNewDeal: why
TheNewDeal: just curious, was reading loper.os from 2009 and I'm trying to get an idea of author age
jurov: did you guess?
asciilifeform: TheNewDeal: what was your guess?
TheNewDeal: ahhh I hadn't formatted a guess!
TheNewDeal: should have questioned before revealing the answer
BingoBoingo: TheNewDeal: asciilifeform is old enought to come to his Loper position out of actual bitterness rather than n00b kid delusion, but still young enough to hope he has the decades to realize them.
BingoBoingo: My initial guess placed asciilifeform in his later 30's
asciilifeform: i've had folks write in who guess 50s or even more.
BingoBoingo: I saw them in your comments
jurov: over two decades of such bitterness? hard to imagine
decimation: asciilifeform: you were probably born about 30 years late
TheNewDeal: I wouldnt have been suprised if you said 50
RagnarDanneskjol: I'd bet 42-45
ben_vulpes: guessing after the reveal
ben_vulpes: what is this, late bettor hour?
RagnarDanneskjol: ahh I missed it
asciilifeform: i think someone even asked before
kakobrekla: RagnarDanneskjol no refund.
jurov: hi othernubs`
jurov: got my torah suggestion?
othernubs`: asciilifeform, you want to include qt source code or leave it out?
BingoBoingo: !up reggiesells
othernubs`: jurov, nod
asciilifeform: othernubs`: out
mircea_popescu: kay the flower ?!
asciilifeform: othernubs`: wait 0.6 is qt already
BingoBoingo: Wait, there's two nubs nao?
jurov: so, openssl stays in :DDDD
othernubs`: is there an easy way you can tag which files you'd like?
asciilifeform: mebbe we ought to do 0.1 ?
othernubs`: asciilifeform, there's a /src/qt/ anyway
asciilifeform: when exactly did the worthwhile patches end...
asciilifeform digs through notes
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Maybe I recall wrong but I think the switch from wx widgets to Qt happened ~0.3.X-ish
othernubs`: github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/releases
kakobrekla: if its for masturbation only, then prolly 0.1 is a better call
asciilifeform: kakobrekla: depends
decimation: it would be useful if someone 'hardforked' 0.6 and maintained it
asciilifeform: decimation: i think mircea_popescu does?
kakobrekla: decimation 'hardfork' != 'hard print' :)
decimation: does he? is there a repo?
asciilifeform doesn't recall seeing it, possibly he never bothered publishing
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: ?
ben_vulpes: decimation: why 0.6?
decimation: ben_vulpes: I donno, I haven't looked into that in detail
decimation: I guess we want a version without idiotic patches
asciilifeform: which'd be the earliest that would interoperate with the majority of extant nodes?
ben_vulpes digs through notes as well
decimation: that's a good question, and should be answerable. Don't the clients identify with a string?
othernubs`: asciilifeform, looks like /src/qt has been there since late september 2011
decimation: it's not in 0.1
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: The earliest is going to probably be 0.4 or late 0.3.x series
othernubs`: 0.4.0 does not have qt, 0.5.0 does
BingoBoingo: patches to the bdb conf because... Hearn sucks
othernubs`: it was merged just before 0.4.1
asciilifeform: ;;later tell mircea_popescu care to share your 0.6 patch set for the paper codex?
gribble: The operation succeeded.
ben_vulpes: my 0.5.3 node hasn't barfed yet
BingoBoingo: othernubs`: qt not necessary to interact with majority of nodes
othernubs`: no, course not
asciilifeform never once in his life used the qt ver
othernubs`: you can build either bitcoin-qt or bitcoind with the same codebase
othernubs`: there's instructions for both
othernubs`: (see bitcoin-0.x.x/INSTALL)
asciilifeform: i'd sorta like all the gui-isms snipped
asciilifeform would do it himself but lazy, hence the impetus for the whole proposal
decimation: I like how the old releases are marked 'obsolete'
othernubs`: heh yeah
ben_vulpes: they're running out of levers to drive adoption otherwise
othernubs`: not deprecated ;p
othernubs`: OBSOLETE
decimation: which is why a hardfork with a different name is necessary, so the n00bs can be educated
asciilifeform: 'axe-time, sword-time, coming closer...'

ben_vulpes: decimation: how would one ever know?
ben_vulpes: mod6: glad you like it!
mod6: when it's ready are you gonna put it up on github or some place?
decimation: nothing other than voluntary disclosure I guess
ben_vulpes: what, is my personal site not adequate?
ben_vulpes: it's not meant for curl2sudo broheims
mod6: it's fine im sure. i'll look for the link. just saw the paste from before.
ben_vulpes: yeah, take a look
ben_vulpes: i'd love your code review as well sir
othernubs`: decimation, i'm actually having a hard time finding numbers on miner stats
mod6: ok np. i'll take a look
ben_vulpes: i think its sanely factored. far more so than pankakke's obfuscated bash competition entry.
BingoBoingo: <othernubs`> 84% of user agents report 0.8.5 or newer << Occasional 0.8.x node may be considered polite in allowing certain SPV clients connectivity.
othernubs`: ah, heh.
ben_vulpes: occasional 0.5.3 node may advertise itself as 0.9 for reasons of camoflauge
BingoBoingo: othernubs`> decimation, i'm actually having a hard time finding numbers on miner stats << Pool ops rarely run "stock" parts

asciilifeform doesn't buy even half of mr. bush & co.'s fairy tale either.

asciilifeform: snipsnip.
asciilifeform: make sure result builds.

othernubs`: probably Cougar 65lb white
ben_vulpes: now that just goes too goddamn far i tell you
asciilifeform: ideally this should be precisely the kind of paper found in the 1st edition of kernighan & ritchie's 'c'.
ben_vulpes: configuring instances by hand is not allowed, emacs or no
othernubs`: depends on final page count
othernubs`: asciilifeform, /src/test/* ?
asciilifeform: just the pieces necessary for function.
othernubs`: barest bones, IOW
asciilifeform: barest that can walk.
othernubs`: 50MB windows install
asciilifeform: lol, was it really?
othernubs`: lel jk
decimation: 65 pound paper is pretty heavy isn't it?
othernubs`: ah, i can only test osx compile
othernubs`: decimation, it's not bad for large sheets. thinner paper rips
asciilifeform: k&r paper.
decimation: yeah I could see that
asciilifeform: glossy, indestructible.
othernubs`: right now i'm thinking like folio size, that may change
othernubs`: k&r paper, hm
asciilifeform: fixed font only, if that needed saying
othernubs`: natch
mod6: ben_vulpes: <+mod6> any reason for deb 6 and not the latest?
othernubs`: you have a preference for thicker or thinner?
othernubs`: say terminal vs courier new
ben_vulpes: mod6: it's what was in production during that 0.5.3 release
mod6: ah. ok.
othernubs`: asciilifeform, the library's closed, care to stab a guess at the paper weight in k&r?
mod6: im gonna build up a vm of this and give your script a try: debian-6.0.10-amd64-CD-1.iso
joecool: i have a copy of that around, is there a way to test?
othernubs` shrugs helplessly
ben_vulpes: mod6: i'd be thrilled if you'd test it for me. i've been testing it against an amazon image, but more eyes etc etc etc
ben_vulpes: pull the latest from cascadianhacker.com if you'd be so kind
othernubs`: you have any other paper of known make to compare it to?

mircea_popescu: decimation innit.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> glossy, indestructible. << long term problem with glossy paper is it tends to flake.. Not just ink, but white surface...
TheNewDeal: I am catching up the logs, which is why I brought it up
mircea_popescu: yeah maybe a good idea to use low acid paper
decimation: my good bible is printed on very thin but weirdly strong paper. thin paper is nice, in the sense that it tends to lie flat
mircea_popescu: decimation cotton paper. expensive.
othernubs`: BingoBoingo, asciilifeform the paper i've got in mind is almost precisely double the weight of standard white bond paper, acid-free, archival quality, semi-gloss finish, 98 brightness

mircea_popescu: mod6 the funny thign is that it'll fail, and he'll still bitch and pretend like he's involved in bitcoin
mircea_popescu: even after that
mircea_popescu: i mean, not like either him or hearn quit after the previous failed fork debacle.
mircea_popescu: and, exactly like described in the quoted thing, idiots and imbeciles on reddit will congratulate him for "having saved" bitcoin.
mircea_popescu: weird world, the us.
ben_vulpes: mod6: let me know what style inputs you have
mod6: yea! remember that?! he was all "NO ONE SEND ANY COINZ!!!111 ROLL BACK!"
othernubs`: india paper, how bout that!!

ben_vulpes: mod6: lol "functional" as in the programming style or "functional" in that "kinda sorta mebbe works"

mircea_popescu: othernubs` i was also briefly in publishing.
mod6 bangs head
mod6: ben_vulpes: in the sense that "this looks like it works" :}

mircea_popescu: oh. no, i've not published a bitcoin fork.
othernubs`: not yet
BingoBoingo would like to see more books made of Tyvek and similar
mircea_popescu: the future's not ours to tell...
mod6: the only fork should be rolling back to pre-powerranger derpitude. too bad about atc tho.
othernubs`: well, if a mysterious manuscript shows up here...
othernubs`: mod6, 0.3.19 is last "satoshi code"
mod6: yeah, that was pre-DBD tho iirc.
mod6: bah *BDB
mircea_popescu: lol @the silbert thing and generally bitpay's derpage. seriously, they think they're going to compete with us as a closed source usg-agent ?
othernubs`: BingoBoingo, tyvek is possible with our setup, but golden-toilet-y
mircea_popescu: jesus the things hard drugs do to people.
BingoBoingo: othernubs`: Just think of all of that longetivity though...
othernubs`: pro inks on acid-free paper lasts quite a while too
BingoBoingo: braille punched out of teflon seems super from a machine readable perspective too.
othernubs`: tyvek would be great if you're installing it in an outdoor park
mod6: <+ben_vulpes> mod6: let me know what style inputs you have << once tested, will do!
ben_vulpes: functional inputs vastly more important though
mod6: it's trivial. you'll lul

The Americans chose to treat this as a human rights violation and responded with the so-called “Magnitsky Act” which sanctioned certain Russian indi
mircea_popescu: viduals who were labeled as human rights violators. Russian legislators responded with the “Dima Yakovlev Bill,” named after a Russian orphan adopted by Americans who killed him by leaving him in a locked car for nine hours. This bill banned American orphan-killing fiends from adopting any more Russian orphans. It all amounted to a silly bit of melodrama."

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform were you looking for "The American behavior throughout this succession of defeats has been remarkably consistent, with the constant element being their flat refusal to deal with reality in any way, shape or form." ? :D
mircea_popescu: that sounds about right.
mircea_popescu: seems the way current bureaucracies are interpreting the "ideas are soldiers" thing is very pedestrian seo : "narratives are soldiers"
mircea_popescu: well... narratives aren't soldiers, narratives are whores. substantially different.
undata: I hear a basket of american-flag cookies cures PTSD.
mircea_popescu: There were even some threats to cut Russia off from the SWIFT system, which would have made it quite difficult to transfer funds between Russia and the West, but what these threats did instead was to give Russia the impetus to introduce its own RUSSWIFT system, which will include even Iran, neutralizing future American efforts at imposing financial restrictions.

mircea_popescu: Financially, Russia's position is so solid that even the three Western credit ratings agencies don't have the gall to downgrade Russia's rating, sanctions notwithstanding. This is a country that is aggressively paying down its foreign debt, is running a record-high budget surplus, has a positive balance of payments, is piling up physical gold reserves, and not a month goes by that it doesn't sign a major international
mircea_popescu: trade deal (that circumvents the US dollar). In comparison, the US is a dead man walking: unless it can continue rolling over trillions of dollars in short-term debt every month at record-low interest rates, it won't be able to pay the interest on its debt or its bills.
mircea_popescu: this is also quite right. either russia or china can in fact raise interest rates causing a collapse.
mircea_popescu: which is actually the major bargaining chip with the eu, not stupid produce import bans
