decimation: "like that, it works. but god help him if he did something like "tight housing for poor folks like you"" << most us cities have zoning rules specifically banning multiple occupants, multiple buildings, converting house to apartment, etc
decimation: most even have rules requiring a minimum floor size
mike_c: so the "fix" was to limit the # of orphan blocks to 750. if that size is exceeded, delete random orphan block from the pool as long as it has no other orphans depending on it.
asciilifeform: yes. every major population centre.
asciilifeform: but in practice there are 'grandfathered exceptions' etc

mod6: ok that worked.

BingoBoingo: Ah, that is less common. Sounds like a fad riding a postwar technology trend
asciilifeform: was nominally retired in favour of forced-air system clumsily retrofitted (fat hose in each room, shedding insulation)

BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Probably because such unusual solutions tend to leave impressions. I similarly remember house that happened to be along infrequently traveled highway with porch overhand supported by unfinished bark on sections of tree trunk
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: there was also a memorable house that wasn't level.
asciilifeform: as in, put a marble on the floor and it will roll.
asciilifeform: also had what was apparently an extension, with entirely different inclination
asciilifeform: sinking into the earth
asciilifeform: and a 'second floor' that was about 1m tall
asciilifeform: (converted attic)
BingoBoingo: DC area is notorious for "settling" issues
asciilifeform: with the one habitable 10 sq. m. or so, converted into a toilet and gigantic bathtub
BingoBoingo: Here there tends to be a divide amongst neighborhoods capable of basements and undermined areas where basement might lead to extra unfinished floorspace.

asciilifeform: the farce was made public some time around '06, iirc.
BingoBoingo: I recall in middle and High School dod.gov hosting some rather complete plans plainly on the public web because of FOIA which have since been memory holed
asciilifeform: 'The case against Sterling was largely circumstantial — there were no recorded phone conversations or captured e-mail exchanges that show that he leaked classified information to Risen — and that required prosecutors’ to delve deeply into Sterling’s work and the details of Risen’s book. By prosecutors’ account, Sterling was the only potential source who had a relationship with Risen, knew all of the information fro
asciilifeform: m the chapter at issue and had a motive to discuss his clandestine work. They argued that the book — which suggested that the secret operation might actually have helped further Iran’s nuclear research — was somewhat inaccurate and that it cast Sterling as a hero and the CIA as hapless.'

trinque: and would that be a concern of something trying to ascertain a balance
fluffypony: "balance" is subjective
davout: not really if you only use normal addresses
fluffypony: if you receive a transaction with an NLOCKTIME in the future is that part of your balance or the sender's balance?
davout: there's also multisig, that you can do with the dedicated script, or in the p2sh fashion
davout: fluffypony: balance(t) <-- fixed :-)
trinque: fluffypony: right, the subject being this bot, in this instance
trinque: so I can constrain the domain of things I care about
trinque: simple funding transactions, simple "publishing" transactions
davout: trinque: do you intend to run a full client for deedbot's needs?
trinque: using btcd at the moment
davout: i don't know shit about this one
trinque: has the same wad 'o json api
davout: the way i'd do it is simply keep an unspent out around
davout: when i have the addy to spend to for notarization, create a raw tx spending from that, and sending all the change back to the original address
davout: that way you keep one private key around, and you just need to track one txid that you reuse in the next tx
trinque: davout: I'm hesitant to keep my own count of btc when the correct value can be pulled from the node
trinque: say I send a transaction, get one confirmation, then the thing still ended up on the losing fork
TheNewDeal: davout , isn't p2sh nonstandard ?
davout: hrm yeah, i forgot about keeping count of the balance, for that you should be able to use the gettxout call though
davout: TheNewDeal: i don't think so
trinque: yup, that's where the "roll forward from first funding transaction's block" comes from
trinque: and then back to my rant re: holy shit this is a trivial query with well-structured data
trinque: anyhow that's what I'll do for now
davout: TheNewDeal: blockchain.info failed miserably at detecting them for a while, don't know if that's changed since, but afaik it's perfectly standard, and nodes will relay them
trinque: since the thing publishes once an hour, rolling forward doesn't seem that big a deal
trinque: each time it's funded the starting point will advance, too
davout: trinque: so you keep the txid around, query your client for the txout and work from there? not very clear on what you mean

trinque: davout: we did not find a way to just "get all utxos" from btcd, could've overlooked something obvious. barring that, I can roll forward from the block where it was first funded and just chew on all the transactions from there forward looking for relevant ones
ben_vulpes: yeah i've lost the btcd documentation
davout: trinque: if you import a private key into bitcoind you'll get the 'listunspent' call, don't know about btcd
trinque: davout: right, if I use a wallet, wallet does everything for me
davout: but it's not possible to get the list of unspent outs given an arbitrary private key
trinque: btcd has btcwallet, seems overkill
mod6: jurov: gotcha.
mod6: think we should switch to the black & hacker-green motif?
ben_vulpes: yeah looks great :D

ben_vulpes: fuck an nlocktime
asciilifeform: 'multisig' is yet another chumpatronic engineering structural element, just as nlocktime is (see link)
asciilifeform: ultimate purpose of which is usg escrow of coin.
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform that bashed quote is a clean cut, nicely done
asciilifeform: these two misfeatures are not accidental 'derperies' but have very specific, well-thought-out purpose.
ben_vulpes: i dislike them
ben_vulpes: cannot abide.
pete_dushenski: so off with its head!
asciilifeform: chumpatronics aside, they also have the more pedestrian objective of creating GBs of turdsactions that bob about in mempool indefinitely, blowing up memory footprint in non-mitigable ways

davout: cazalla: lol
pete_dushenski: Yum calculated that the transferred coins were worth a total of $13.4 million.
pete_dushenski: “You mean direct, one-to-one transfers?” prosecutor Timothy Howard asked Yum.
pete_dushenski: “Yes, direct, one-to-one transfers,” Yum responded.
pete_dushenski: mano a mano!
pete_dushenski: Remarkably, that total trail of drug-tainted coins represents more than four times as many bitcoins from Silk Road Ulbricht’s laptop than have yet been found and seized in the Silk Road investigation. It’s still not clear from Yum’s testimony where the rest of them ended up.
pete_dushenski: Given the mind-twisting complexity of the bitcoin blockchain for an unschooled jury, the defense may yet have plenty of room to inject doubt into the government’s analysis.
pete_dushenski: i should sincerely hope so
trinque: I think I'd die laughing if Karpeles was actually involved

mircea_popescu: heh, the gavin idiots. "The chart below illustrates the growth in the number of transactions per day along with Bitcoin's market cap1. There is a strong correlation between the two variables2. If the correlation continues to hold, it suggests that the 1 MB blocksize limit may also limit Bitcoin's future liquidity and adoption. 1I've plotted the number of transactions excluding popular addresses to remove the on-chain
mircea_popescu: gambling bubble of 2012/2013. This has only a minor effect on the 2014/2015 portion of the data."
mircea_popescu: so... a) correlation = causation ; b)i've doctored the data so correlation = the causation i wish to see.
mircea_popescu: this is like... the "global warming" consensus all over again.
mircea_popescu: "here's how we extrapolate data in the past to create a dataset which we arbitrarily call historical, on which we extrapolate a future. and here's how we've fixed it all to look a certain way. no matter that anything put through this mixer would look like a golf club, including most random distributions"
BingoBoingo: danielpbarron: Up!
mircea_popescu: really, usg : hire smarter people. i know that obama was wildly successful by promising a bunch of losers unprecedented financial incentives to voice for him, and i know that for that reason it WORKS for him to do all sorts of patently idiotic shit, like most recently claiming that inviting the president of israel "breaks protocol" because it could be seen as supporting a side in the coming elections, while his staff i
mircea_popescu: s actually in israel working for the other side in those same elections, not to mention the mess in the ukraine.
mircea_popescu: i know this stupid shit works for the low information voters that constitute the libertard america. figure it out : these people do not actually matter.
mircea_popescu: not in bitcoin, not in the world, not in any sense. they're here for feedstock and no more.

mircea_popescu: felipelalli go moderate your blog comments.
mircea_popescu: i gotta say ... that's some gnarly shit. is this how sql actually works ?
trinque: mircea_popescu: no! dear god no!
mircea_popescu: trinque % is wildcard right ?
trinque: mircea_popescu: yeah for the like operator
mircea_popescu: there's like 100 of them in there, that should be pretty wild to run
trinque: the sad thing about sql is it tried to be an end user programming language
trinque: behind that mess is an utterly elegant data model
trinque: really relational algebra's the thing, not sql, and someone should redo the former sans the latter
trinque: the idea was accountants or somesuch would be able to write SQL
Naphex: mircea_popescu: whats dummer is that looks like a table for machine learning
Naphex: and its using sql for that
Naphex: big lol
Naphex: horrible stuff
mircea_popescu: pretty gnarly.
trinque: Naphex: neh your thing just needs to be smart enough to make its own tables, relational can do runtime structure creation just fine
trinque: the system catalog is there for a reason
davout: CASEs in SQL queries, my eyes burn
cazalla: BingoBoingo, you and your altcoin coverage!!
trinque: I had a mentor burn rdbms into my mind indelibly; it's as right and overlooked as lisp
BingoBoingo: cazalla: danielpbarron's altcoin coverage
cazalla: BingoBoingo, but you encouraged him! i'm not too fussed on altcoins but i would've made mention how foolish redditors were to believe a jew was going to give away 5 million
ben_vulpes: <mircea_popescu> ben_vulpes was about 160ish it bottomed out neh ? << which plebs actually caught that knife?
davout: trinque: a lot of rdbms will let you do relational algebra, it's just that people don't use it
BingoBoingo: lol cazalla
trinque: davout: well shit, a lot of derps try to turn it into a key value store
trinque: and all kinds of other foot-blown-off scenarios
davout: yup
trinque: incidentally postgresql spanks the ass off any other kv store on earth
trinque: with native json types
jurov: mircea_popescu: that was *enterprise* sql
davout: trinque: how do you even use that kind of stuff, does it give you tools to actually filter on the json object?
davout: iirc mssql also had the kind of native stuff for xml
jurov: davout yes it does
davout: may it burn in hell
trinque: yep
jurov: with indexes, everything
trinque: postgres ate yer mongo, postgres ate yer couch
BingoBoingo: !up felipelalli
trinque: postgres slapped your mother, postgres fucked your spouse
mats: mongo was never good
trinque: mats: reasoning of "json therefore..."
mats: says the db guy i work with, anyway.
trinque: any new database will incrementally do the things sql already did
trinque: or kick them to the app layer where those idiots will do even worse
trinque: constraints, indexes, transactions, etc etc
davout: sure, lets use uuids as primary keys
trinque: this idea for example that schema's too hard! the fuck?! like building the lack of schema into each query isn't infinitely worse?
trinque: and you can write dynamic code even that will build out schema for you because there's a system catalog to reference
trinque: ^ most underused feature of SQL there is
trinque: I once wrote a thing that'd dynamically generate schema for production rules of a given grammer given the relational representation of that grammar, and a dynamic to-string in the other direction
trinque: do that in your mongo
jurov: schema is subject to change irl and there be dragons. but i presume with btc it isn't a problem, no changes expected
assbot: Error Page 404 ... ( http://bit.ly/1HngElg )
jurov: oracle nixed it
trinque: the company all but collapsed but we produced this: https://github.com/aquameta/pg_meta
assbot: aquameta/pg_meta · GitHub ... ( http://bit.ly/1HngJWa )
trinque: having that you can write queries which output things which can be inserted into the writable system catalog
jurov: okay let's not go overboard with this :)
davout: jurov: lol, too late
trinque: jurov: what, writing wads of plpgsql to do it is better?
trinque: being able to declaratively modify schema was incredible
trinque: too bad the owner of the biz thought money was filthy
jurov: 90% of migrations isn't about schema, but about data
trinque: I also jacked git into postgres and did an automatic migrations system
trinque: via a foreign data wrapper
trinque: given the right set of first principles in a system so many things become trivial

trinque: jeez is that java lambda syntax?
trinque: oh no, the one above
Naphex: aye
trinque: what's the second one?
trinque: ampersand colon fuck my life question mark
davout: each time i hear about java i can't help but picture these SomeObjectFactoryBuilder.getObjectFactory().getObject()
trinque: I don't see why we're still doing objects
trinque: shitty dispatch, shitty scoping tool, shitty ....
davout: trinque: that & is just a pointer to function
davout: the ? is here just to troll you, because question marks are allowed in function names
trinque: ah lol
trinque: hey that doesn't even make me mad
trinque: ! for side effects, ? for booleans, seems fine to me
davout: yup
Naphex: i'm actually liking the lambda syntax :D
Naphex: (Person p) -> p.getGender() == Person.Sex.MALE && p.getAge() >= 18 && p.getAge() <= 25

felipelalli: Hi gang noise! :] (sorry if I can't express myself very well in English) First of all, I want to apologize for that "gavin day", really sorry about that.
felipelalli: Then, I can see you guys are talking something about altcoins (I couldn't follow everything), and by change I've been thinking all day about something related to write an article. Actually I've been thinking about it from a long time ago, and the subject is: << the importance (or not) of a strong "second" coin >> and I'd love to read the most I could about it (altcoins, sidechain, and related) and I'm sure you guys have have a plenty of
felipelalli: material. I know I can search on Google but I guess you guys already have selected that "cherry cake" about this theme. Trying to summarize: my point is to show the importance (or not) of a strong coin to be used together with bitcoin. My initial thesis is that in the future (almost) all wallets will work with two (or maybe 3) totally different coins. The second coin would be so important as silver was in the past when the government tried
felipelalli: to "confiscated" the gold (I heard about that but I have to study more deeply). I came to this conclusion because I know bitcoin can't be available 24/7 forever. It will eventually fail in some situation (for example during a bad made hard fork - either because Gavin's gang spoiled or not) and at that time everybody should already is using some strong second coin to be used as backup during a temporary "bitcoin blackout". I think this coin
felipelalli: would work similar as silver works to the economy (silver have ~ 777B market cap in a quick search I just made, not too much compared with gold but it is enough). Even if this coin have only 5 or 6% of total bitcoin value, it could be useful to "don't stop the world" when bitcoin is under attack or maintenance. --- If I am wrong about that, I could write about what this is a bad idea and altcoins are bad at all.
felipelalli: Thank you!

felipelalli: ahhaah sorry

cazalla: <asciilifeform> if i were a kgb recruiter, i would be searching for these folks. <<< re: that or maybe i just misread chat
asciilifeform: cazalla: what's the perfect job for intelligent, resourceful folks shut out of the normal economy by demented regime ?
cazalla: killing people or just making threats? :P
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> cazalla: what's the perfect job for intelligent, resourceful folks shut out of the normal economy by demented regime ? << Very interested in answer to this question.
asciilifeform: the fascination with 'death threats' the nato world has is very peculiar
trinque: asciilifeform: this was how my friend's email was construed
asciilifeform: if you were planning to kill someone, would you helpfully tell him first ?
trinque: can't recall the text of it but really... "school's out forever" level stuff, nothing terrible
decimation: asciilifeform: I think it is related to the 'confession culture' of the us legal system
trinque: grow up cowards
asciilifeform: it's related to the 'cardinal richelieu' culture of having the proverbial six words written by every honest man to hang him by
asciilifeform: some fool with a short temper, fond of 'death threating' - will be condemned for that
asciilifeform: dope aficionado - for dope
asciilifeform: popular with the gurlz? (assange!) - 'rape'
trinque: make any money? irs
asciilifeform: can fill in this chart
asciilifeform: not hard.
cazalla: actually, australian magistrate's just tell you to go away and stop wasting his time with death threat charges
decimation: cazalla: do they jail the drunken aboriginals much there?
cazalla: decimation, nope, they run em over https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uCxc4SjpN6M

BingoBoingo: Pretty sure Australia just helps the Abbos gas themselves
cazalla: BingoBoingo, that'd be the british, they'd bury the abo kids in the sand and kick their heads off
BingoBoingo: cazalla: I though your government was still shipping them that recreational 87 octane
cazalla: cheap atm too, 99c a L for 91o, i'm sure the abos can afford top shelf 98o at these prices
asciilifeform: if anyone here is fond of www programming, can write one of those quizzes, a la 'which genocidal dictator are you?' --- 'what will you be in u.s. prison for, ten years hence ?'
BingoBoingo: Gas just went up 25 cents here today after going up 10 cents earlier this week.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: a number of locales are in the process of raising fuel tax, yours may be one of them
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Not yet. Across the river there is talk of it, but not yet here.
asciilifeform: basic 'laffer curve' idea, it would seem

BingoBoingo: danielpbarron: fxd, thx
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: But in American popular culture there is a carefully groomed myth through all kinds of fictitious media that in criminal proceedings a plea always results in some form of mercy from the courts when all it does is keep the cattle line moving through the feedlot.
