mircea_popescu: trinque i never formed an actual opinion on the grounds that it looked too gimmicky and widely adopted in the astroturf manner for my taste.
mircea_popescu has a lengthy bin of "must have" stuff he successfully waited out.
trinque: yep, sounds like your taster is tuned
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 62600 @ 0.00034848 = 21.8148 BTC [+] {3}
thestringpuller: trinque: you and ben_vulpes would have some interesting conversations about docker
thestringpuller: it's supposed to remove the sysadmin from the equation if you don't have money to pay for nice ones.
trinque: thestringpuller: he's actually a local buddy of mine; we've chewed on that one a couple times
trinque: I see what it tries to be, and people can get some benefit out of it
trinque: but it's actually several features of a sane *operating-system, not some bolt-on to linux
trinque: managing configuration state, so on
thestringpuller: well that and the images are truly portable if the host is sane.
trinque backs away slowly before he starts talking about using relational modeling for CM
thestringpuller: so configuration is non-existent
trinque: yeah, I can see that
thestringpuller: this is good and bad, but moreover what your purpose is.
thestringpuller: the security theatre part is a nuclear bomb waiting to go off.
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=04-06-2015#1154114 <<< "o look, we can both misrepresent the intel source and prop our propaganda machine. now people will think social media is important!11"

assbot: Logged on 04-06-2015 19:45:13; fluffypony: "former serial murderer serving life in prison says other serial murderers are 'going to be in prison' eventually"
thestringpuller: trinque: yea which, in my eyes, illuminates the underlying problem that is not solved: consistent configuration from one environment to the next.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo dude who the fuck is that gbanga fellow. responding to himself nao...
thestringpuller: docker does this in a way similar to floppy drive press enter to boot kinda deal
trinque: thestringpuller: needs something with a declared schema, referential integrity, other fancy things from rdbms land
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I have absolutely no idea
trinque: thestringpuller: "show me all the config items which make reference to a hostname"
thestringpuller: ah. well even on a lower level, like for instance going from a local Apache instance (running on iface 127.0.0.1) then running it on prod.
thestringpuller: As you've just said.
trinque: yep, nobody has any fucking idea what the structure of /etc is
mircea_popescu: 20302310412919 / 4294967297 = 4727
trinque: you just munge things out with sed/awk/grep and call it good
asciilifeform: !up ascii_field
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: it's in magic98 yes
trinque: course it runs into every problem anyone ever made a terrible XML thing for
thestringpuller: trinque: yup. Puppet did an "okay" job of managing the config scheme among multiple machines in a single environment.
thestringpuller: But alas doesn't really solve the underlying problem imo.
trinque: I have a vague inkling that CLOS can be used for things I use RDBMS for, but I am not there yet
mircea_popescu: ascii_field but 4727 = 29 * 163 which are primes
mircea_popescu: kidna highest "natural" prime yet huh.
mircea_popescu: 10100011
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: essentially the results of random integer n
mircea_popescu: i guess so.
ascii_field: (once you mutilate n, all bets are off)
mircea_popescu: of course... one never knows if something really is random
ascii_field: 'random' in the strict sense of -not- being a product of carefully selected long primes p and q passing various tests
mircea_popescu: trinque imagine my surprise when i discovered that gimp actually uses scheme as a scripting language.
ascii_field: -could- turn out to be one anyway if the gods were to smile
thestringpuller: trinque: CLOS is above my understanding. I'm more of practical computing
ascii_field: but sooner operator will be struck by lightning 10e10 times
trinque: mircea_popescu: may have been the first time I encountered a lispy thing in the wild
mircea_popescu: ah you saw it too ?
trinque: think so, long ago; I don't do much graphics stuff
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: it has 'guile' baked in, yes
trinque: I was adding sweet flames to text or something
ascii_field: phun phact: it is the official gnu extension language, for what it's worth
thestringpuller: and yet no one uses GIMP in real life unless they are poor and/or hate Adobe.
ascii_field uses it
ascii_field: the hell i'm gonna spin up a winblows box just to edit a graphic
thestringpuller: I was talking about media in the wild vs. personal usage.
thestringpuller: i.e. never seen "GIMP" listed in the credits of a movie.
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller im pretty sure everyone half competent uses gimp.
ascii_field: 'arts types' famously pray on photoshit
mircea_popescu: i've yet to encounter a competent "arts types".
ascii_field: (among things missing from 'gimp' is, at least last i saw, support for pressure-sensitive input gizmos like 'wacom')
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 42250 @ 0.00034869 = 14.7322 BTC [+] {2}
mircea_popescu: and i get it, most hipsters with ephebe beards and starbucks paper cups use macs.
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: that's because logical competency and art don't go together. better trying to mix oil and water.
mircea_popescu: nevertheless, competent coders are not on that thing
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller i meant art competency.
mircea_popescu: as opposed to competency at pretending like one's involved in art.
mircea_popescu: dali's on gimp.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: the closest approximation to a usable laptop is (or was) sold by apple
ascii_field: just ask ben_vulpes
mircea_popescu: laptops are for chicks too worn out to fit normal dildoes anymore.
trinque: lol
trinque: this is certainly the last I'll purchase
ascii_field got tired of the gymnastics of maintaining an apple box to be somewhat usably posixy/x11y - and is now on an 'unusable' laptop
trinque: and I'd be happy to replace it with something that was basically a terminal emulator with a nic
trinque: ascii_field: wasted way too much time getting a gentoo tuned on a mac
ascii_field: trinque: total, utter waste of time
ascii_field: whole fucking point is that os is shipped by same folks who made the iron
ascii_field: and there are no 'small' but intolerable driver imperfections
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: the starbucks hipster is usually the unemployable art school student. the employable ones don't complain about tools since they just fill out PO's until they find one they like.
ascii_field: like suspend mode where battery continues to drain, etc
trinque: ascii_field: yeah ask me how my wifi behaved
trinque: wait. don't bother
trinque: was a retina mac, and I dropped it and smashed the shit out of the screen
ascii_field: thestringpuller: 'fill out PO's until they find one they like' in my case resulted in a mountain of garbage

asciilifeform: otherwise here works
BingoBoingo: Damn, a double phuct'
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: that was, i think, another 'magic list' item
mod6: yeah, i think just in here, we can discuss. be better for me to spend a bit of time thinking about it for a day or two.. sometime this week maybe.
mod6: ben_vulpes: should read up on this too ^^
asciilifeform: mod6: notably, bitcoind 0.5.3 stock actually had the orphan tx cache limit
asciilifeform: but i nuked the cache entirely in the interest of reducing fragging
asciilifeform: what i did not have time to do is to measure whether this had the intended effect.
asciilifeform: the other effect of nuking the tx orphanage is zapping the obvious ddos vector of folks crapping deliberately spurious tx into a node
asciilifeform: in general i favour the principle of 'if it cannot be verified RIGHT NOW, it is garbage'
asciilifeform: the very notion of storing things which 'might be verifiable later' runs against the overall flavour of a mechanism designed to face a -maximally- hostile universe
mod6: sure. i was kinda wondering about the converse side where there is an orphaned TX, and then what? guy just resends?
asciilifeform: where every other node is a gavinous abomination
asciilifeform: mod6: he rebroadcasts until finds a node that can accept it without 'jam tomorrow'
BingoBoingo: Last I checked Hearn still breathes so universe is still maximally hostile.
mod6: hah
asciilifeform: consider the actual scenario whereby a tx is 'orphan'
asciilifeform: i.e. what causes it to fall into that category ?
mod6: asciilifeform: ok. i'll have to think on that a bit more. i wanna be sure of what these changes imply. anyway, a guy can always patch his own if he wishes in the mean time.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform 30064771079/4294967297 =... 7. so now we also have 7.
mircea_popescu: i am persuaded pretty much every prime up to 1k or so is present in the whole set.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: this is a statistical certainty
mod6: <+asciilifeform> i.e. what causes it to fall into that category ? << right, some sort of malformed tx or one that has some weird time in the tx that makes it get rejected or some such thing.
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> in general i favour the principle of 'if it cannot be verified RIGHT NOW, it is garbage' << i agree with the wisdom of this, for the reasons stated.
asciilifeform: mod6: it is absolutely essential to understand the mechanics
mod6: more over, is there a "normal" situation that arises where a guy is trying to create a transaction and it becomes an orphan? his system time is off? many things i suppose...
asciilifeform: an 'orphan tx' is simply one which references a tx which is not yet seen
asciilifeform: this can happen if multiple interdependent tx are sent in quick succession
asciilifeform: say, from a robotic 'hot wallet'
mod6: so [A_tx]<-[B_tx] are both sent
mod6: B is recieved before A, so B is 'orphan'
asciilifeform: if no one had an orphan tx cache at all, the robot would be the only one broadcasting B until A is in a block.
asciilifeform: no one would rebroadcast it for him
asciilifeform: because it could be a work of fiction
mod6: ok
asciilifeform: whereas right now there is 'benefit of the doubt', largely harmless because 1) 'everyone' has infinite ram 2) no one is crapping out spurious tx in earnest
mod6: yeah, like i said, i gotta look into it. :]
mircea_popescu: practically, this might put a dent in dice type services, in the sense that it'd slow them down by ~10 minutes
mircea_popescu: not sure this is terribru
asciilifeform: 'CoinJoin' will also die.
BingoBoingo: Kinda why listable Satoshidice worked as it did
asciilifeform: as far as i'm concerned, nuking the tx orphanage cuts away some of the remaining 'promise' crud from the protocol, leaving the cold metal for which i for one love it
asciilifeform: i will not cry for the 'promises'
asciilifeform: also note that you (node) are free to broadcast a tx that refers to a not-yet-in-block tx. just that other people will throw it straight to dev null
mircea_popescu: coinjoin is not even stupid it's so fucking dumb.
mircea_popescu: let's stick to considering things that have a shot at making sense.
asciilifeform: srsly one can't take so much as a shit without some 'coder' building a 'career' on it
asciilifeform: the implications of requiring a tx to refer -only- to tx in blocks in order to be rebroadcastable can be described exhaustively
asciilifeform: we may have already done so - or not
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> srsly one can't take so much as a shit without some 'coder' building a 'career' on it << Coders are like asparagus in this way. They love their easy nitrogen and phosphorous
mircea_popescu: anyway, i'll be running this too.
mircea_popescu: see if anyone can spot a problem with it.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: if running tests, consider the igprof patch
asciilifeform: it is very very spiffy
mircea_popescu: mp is still not a coder. his magics lie elsewhere.
asciilifeform: needless to say, do not use in battlefield conditions
asciilifeform: (for one thing, it brings in dl)
mircea_popescu: ima think about this while playing go with people who are also thinking about this, how's that.

But she has nothing to win, and quite a lot to lose from abolishing female quotas."
decimation: ^ how usg employment works
asciilifeform: phun phakt for non-u.s. folks: usg contractors who are registered as 'woman-owned' get preferential contract status. the practical consequence of this is that a great many operators of such firms have them registered in wife's name
asciilifeform: (makes for interesting divorce proceedings, one might imagine)
pete_dushenski: or tighter pre-nups
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: pre-nups, as a general rule, don't work in usa
pete_dushenski: for real ?
asciilifeform: (more accurately, they work in the same manner as patents. which is to say, if you have infinite money and are willing to spend most of it on lawyers, it can be made to 'work' in a way.)
decimation: asciilifeform: also there's supposedly a super-category for minorities/handicapped/veterans
trinque: and if you have kids involved, forget it
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: i guess i figured that since usa is where they're mostly use, that pre-nups work there. upon reflection, this is a nonsensical conclusion !
asciilifeform: decimation: the golden quadrifecta is female minority crippled in iraq
trinque: the court can rule in "the best interest of the child"
asciilifeform: trinque: even in the absence of children, imagine that, l0l
trinque: well she might later, and he owes her!
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: again, they 'work' like patents 'work'
decimation: asciilifeform: yeah, it's a real thing too I hear. if one of these 8(a) qualified companies enter bidding, they automatically win
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: mhm. so it would seem
asciilifeform: which is to say, every idiot who wastes time and money on it imagines that it will work in his case, because celebrity xxxxx
asciilifeform: 'patents are great, look at edison'
decimation: everything usg does is partially mixed with its 'civil relgion'
asciilifeform: how could it be otherwise.
decimation: greenspun has a continual rant on the divorce racket
trinque cannot think of a single reason he would marry
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 117450 @ 0.00034004 = 39.9377 BTC [-] {2}
assbot: Logged on 05-06-2015 02:48:58; williamdunne: Latest board resolution contains a line similar to the one in a couple of MPEX contracts that goes along the lines of "The company deems this contract valid, regardless of the opinion or declaration of any person, regardless of what title that they may choose to fashion themselves with" lol
decimation: it's a good way to raise children, but lord help you if you marry the wrong woman
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 32722 @ 0.00033939 = 11.1055 BTC [-] {2}
trinque: decimation: I don't mind the thought of raising kids at all; still don't think I'd marry
asciilifeform: decimation: it is interesting to consider the implications of mass 'awakening' to btc as an anti-divorcetheft instrument
assbot: Logged on 05-06-2015 02:53:01; williamdunne: While I'm going to be putting myself very publicly as the face of the company, I'm not the only one responsible for it

trinque: asciilifeform: not a bad point there
asciilifeform: decimation: the likely next step for usg is probably 'naggum-style' taxation on 'what you probably earned and hid'
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform or anti-fiat-theft generally
asciilifeform: sorta like the silk road sentence
mircea_popescu: taxation ; redistribution ; alimony ; you name it-y
trinque: having too much btc will have a word like "structuring" pretty soon
trinque: utterly devoid of meaning aside from "and for this we will fuck you dry"
asciilifeform: 'so, mr schmuck, you ran a widget factory, brought in p/yr. ex-mrs schmuck is now entitled to y*(p-r) where r was your rent'
decimation: mircea_popescu: I don't get your point re: <--->
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform not that far off, it is after all the argument they brought before australian courts against austian dotcom kid. or for that matter in swiss courts against belgian dude.
mircea_popescu: "this person is charged with being more powerful than we like to see."
pete_dushenski: decimation: business is marriage, and vice versa
asciilifeform: for so long as the robbers even bother to construct arguments, they will necessarily take this form
mircea_popescu: decimation that it's the same thing, basially.
decimation: ah I see what you are getting at, need to choose your partners carefully
asciilifeform: sorta like that fable, where the sheep asks the wolf what his 'crime' was, why he deserves to be eaten, and wolf answers 'your crime was that i am hungry and you are fat'
decimation: asciilifeform: yeah but if your wealth is in bitcoin, it's not obvious you are a sheep nor fat
asciilifeform: decimation: thing is, it is still obvious if usd walked in and didn't walk out
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=05-06-2015#1154566 << no. fbi agents should help us prevent usg above all else.
asciilifeform: (of your pocket)
decimation: asciilifeform: yeah, usg can still claim usd tax
asciilifeform: just like the ancient observation that if two walk into a cave, and one walks out, someone probably got clobbered
decimation: but they can't send agents to question why you withdrew $10k
asciilifeform: this is, for example, why 'coinbase' will happily sell u.s. folks btc
asciilifeform: decimation: l0l, tell it to that congresscritter
decimation: I mean $10k in btc
asciilifeform: well yes, but they know that $10k walked in in usd
pete_dushenski: then 'withdrew' from where ?
asciilifeform: and never walked out
decimation: yeah this is a point, as long as usd is 'money' they can toy with anyone
asciilifeform: anyone paid in usd, at any rate
decimation: anyone forced to use usd to eat bread
assbot: Logged on 05-06-2015 03:05:28; pete_dushenski: so one person does funds, one person does other things ? you might excuse me for being suddenly reminded of magicaltux's recent 'decentralise the exchanges' essay
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: upon reflection, alternative is either a) have one person do everything, or b) 'multisig'
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=05-06-2015#1154606 << just one more asset ended up with head on pike, now barking at the outskirts.
assbot: Logged on 05-06-2015 03:06:48; asciilifeform: williamdunne: the usg connection of karpeles is as clear as daylight, considering how he is investigationally untouchable (both in the sr trials and in the greatest btc-related monetary black hole known to date)
decimation: mircea_popescu: those agents investigating dpr apparently 'switched sides'
pete_dushenski: so i guess the bitbet model makes sense.
mircea_popescu is rooting for him, gavin and that radioshow derp getting together and starting a wallet site or something.
asciilifeform: decimation: if the fools had the elementary common sense to share the bakshish up the chain of command, they'd be walking still
pete_dushenski imagines 'decentralised' mit wallet
decimation: asciilifeform: this was sop in su as I understand
asciilifeform: decimation: in all 'orcish' nations
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform honestly i dun think so.
mircea_popescu: it's shocking enough that one dea agent defected over about 1 year's nominal pay.
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: there is a long list of idiocies not yet surfaced. for instance, a usg stooge will eventually propose 'wallets' keyed to passport chips or the like
mircea_popescu: the notion that an entire hierarchy would manage to split it into bits... heh.
mircea_popescu: i dun see it.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the quantities are not co-measurable
decimation: usg has promised all of them a comforatable retirement if they play ball
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: half a mil in usd is not 'i-can-give-it-to-isis-money'
asciilifeform: btc - is.
trinque: it remains to be seen what charges these guys end up with
asciilifeform: usd is considerably closer to being paid in month-old sausages than to money
asciilifeform: yes, it's valuable, in a sense
asciilifeform: and you can live on it
trinque: and I wonder how many got away with it
asciilifeform: but where is it 10 yrs from now
mircea_popescu: what do you suppose ten-twenty twerps can do with enough money to buy isis a humvee each ?
mircea_popescu: they already donated 2.5k of them or w/e
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: i look forward to it. my new passport is a 10-year affair and has some sort of electronics in it. "don't get passport wet, treat like mobile device" it says.
asciilifeform: this is the difference between money and scip
mircea_popescu: anyway, the one important point in all this is - even the people on govt team don't like other people on govt team enough to go partners.
mircea_popescu: think about that. it's like being in a bar where you hate everyone to the point you wouldnt buy them a drink.
mircea_popescu: why the fuck are you there then
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: they would have, if they could be sure of 'blink back' when 'blinking eyelashes' up the chain of command
mircea_popescu: aha. exactly.
mircea_popescu: and they'd hit on the hot blonde, if they could be sure of same.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: you're there because you were born and raised there and door is welded shut ?
mircea_popescu: as it is tho...
assbot: Logged on 05-06-2015 03:10:20; williamdunne: danielpbarron: Not sure why she couldn't have just come on here D:
decimation: maybe usg employees think that if the just stick around one more year they can 'change the system' liked they fantasized about when they signed up
decimation: or maybe most of them are unemployable in 'the real world'
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: to grasp this, it is necessary to look through the porthole glass on the atomic dirigible, down to the planet below - where most folks are so thoroughly wedded to their meal ticket that they do not really perceive themselves as having a choice of what sort of system to be part of, aside from the abstract choice of eating one's pistol
asciilifeform: (the latter is an increasingly common path out of u.s. army - ever wonder why?)
mircea_popescu: most of them are necessarily unemployable in the real world
decimation: asciilifeform: note that this 'marriage' isn't really about a meal as much as a fantasy

asciilifeform: decimation: it is about 'i do this and i keep eating; i don't - and don't'
decimation: for instance, spacex runs on the same 'fumes'
decimation: people are willing to spend their lives gaining skills only to end up paying elon to work for him
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform doesn't that sound like something to discontinue on general principle ?
asciilifeform: spacex ultimately runs on the apparatus whereby continent full of schmucks is robbed of what little they produce
mircea_popescu: what are they, sharecroppers ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: sure!
mircea_popescu: i suppose the one true differential between lords and peons is the answer to the simple question
decimation: people in the midwest have kids, some of them have skills, and they end up in some bureaucracy
mircea_popescu: "is life a good above all else"
mircea_popescu: all yes in this pile. all no in that pile. end of story.
asciilifeform: there is also the realization, shared by the more-intellectually-bent part of usa, that 'if i were to be paid what i am worth, i will starve and be boiled for soap. therefore gotta help carry on the scam'
decimation: asciilifeform: yeah that's surely the majority of usg
asciilifeform: it is virtually everyone
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform this is a very poor excuse for not coming up with better scams.
asciilifeform: i, for instance, have precisely zero desire to be 'paid what i'm worth'
mircea_popescu: note that i am not proposing for civilisation to go away
decimation: how do you outscam the printing press?
mircea_popescu: there's always a way.
asciilifeform: short of perpetuum mobile, which physical reality balks at - printing press is -the- scam.
asciilifeform: sorta the carnot engine of sc4mz0r1ng
decimation: well, generally the 'way' in the us is to be on the benefit side of the printing press
asciilifeform: decimation: pretty much every living thing in nato-dom is alive beneficiary of the printing press.
mircea_popescu: out of the crooked timber of humanity, no THE thing was ever made.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: printing press scam is directly analogous to carnot engine. it is the closest shave one can give the sheep without skinning them
asciilifeform: or at least aims to be
mircea_popescu: consider : roman empire also used the same process.
asciilifeform: hence the astonishingly baroque refinements it is subject to
asciilifeform: romans had not yet calculating machines, and did not have anything quite like modern 'derivatives' etc
asciilifeform: whereas today you can actually make a chump who insists on knowing precisely how he is being chumped be left with an np-complete problem!
mircea_popescu: actually, they did. both.
mircea_popescu: and if zenon's arrow in flight discussion is not exactly the latter...
asciilifeform: that's sorta like saying that they had modern construction equipment. yes, there were cranes powered with man-sized hamster wheels
asciilifeform: but not same
mircea_popescu: i propose to you that for an army of archers, plate armor is much more than our current ceramic plating and woven nylons.
mircea_popescu: similarly, it can perhaps be argued successfully that the romans had better "social sciences" in the weaponized, political sense
asciilifeform: quite similar, in that plate was astonishingly expensive
mircea_popescu: than the us ever did or ever will.
trinque: americans are helplessly narcissistic and cannot collaborate
trinque: that's why they didn't think up a better scam
mircea_popescu: what, unlike the friends, romans, countrymen ?
mircea_popescu: gimme a break.
trinque: perhaps not; I'd expect though that we're incredibly low on the scale
trinque: I don't think the way in which communication happens here would be considered high bandwidth
asciilifeform: what would the hypothetical 'better scam' look like ?
asciilifeform: as it is, half the planet toils so that u.s. schmucks can get tankers full of little orange plastic pumpkins every october to hang on their porch
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=05-06-2015#1154671 << they can only be enforced by women against men, moreover.
assbot: Logged on 05-06-2015 03:23:52; asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: pre-nups, as a general rule, don't work in usa
asciilifeform: better scam would result in what? more pumpkins ?
mircea_popescu: if you have a deal that says she walks without any money or children, it'll be thrown out.
mircea_popescu: if it says the reverse... well duh.
trinque: more bitcoins for Mr Force, I thought
asciilifeform: trinque: we (or at least i) do not know how many bitcoins -presently- for yellen
asciilifeform: or thiel
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i dunno.
asciilifeform: trinque: the basic crime of herr force - aside from the unforgivable 'didn't pass the bakshish up the chain' - is that a commoner has pretense to lordly things
trinque: asciilifeform: here's a better scam; kill the price for a bit by imploding gox
