phf: etc.
mircea_popescu: giving a bad name to both respectability and dissolution at the same time!
mircea_popescu: anyway, i guess the buttcoiner pedo pantsuitism readily answers the economic question. dood trashed early bitcoin business BECAUSE that's why he had it in the first place. wasn't looking to do something useful, was looking to establish cred to try and fuck up the useful.
asciilifeform: 1 thing i dunget, tho, how did gerald davis turn into david gerard ?
asciilifeform: ... non-ecc ram?
mircea_popescu: there's more to it than just http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-23#1757591 by the way ; consider the example in http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-24#1758218 : dude keeps talking of "endpoints" which are in point of fact URLs. much like crapples files very secretly used under the hood but denied to the luser.

mircea_popescu: you KNOW they'll have heartbleed and orc glyphs and so on and so forth, even as the "security tokens" never expire and the gameplay just isn't there.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-25#1758419 << when phf said so. how much attention should be paid to supposed differences among the biofilm ?

l0de: Yes hello, l0de here
mircea_popescu: oh right, right, the sw radio guy.
mircea_popescu: how goes ?
l0de: I'm here in search of funds
mircea_popescu: oh ? funds to fund what ?
l0de: where is our homie Danielpbarron
mircea_popescu: !~seen danielpbarron
jhvh1: mircea_popescu: danielpbarron was last seen in #trilema 15 hours, 36 minutes, and 5 seconds ago: <danielpbarron> oh hah, that's way off huh
l0de: DPB pledged $800 to support the radio arts
mircea_popescu: possibly xmas party with the nude truebelievers.
l0de: superb
mircea_popescu: !#s l0de from:danielpbarron
a111: 13 results for "l0de from:danielpbarron", http://btcbase.org/log-search?q=l0de%20from%3Adanielpbarron
l0de: I myself partook of such fleshy delights last evening
mircea_popescu: l0de so how long since you ran a pirate radio ?
l0de: We ran a pirate radio last week, actually
mircea_popescu: what freq/whereabouts ?
l0de: the transmitters available to us cycle out a lot
l0de: often we're hitting shortwave stuff
l0de: I generally don't handle the technical elements of it
l0de: people are just grabbing the stream and rebroadcasting it on local transmitters
l0de: it's mega fun though
mircea_popescu: l0de the technical elements of it are specifically what interests me, actually.
mircea_popescu: are you willing to run a sponsorship ad on your next show, so people who DO sw-retransmit get some dough ?
l0de: sure, if the previous promised funds are remitted
l0de: most of the people who retransmit are already quite wealthy
mircea_popescu: i've no doubt they will be, dood just needs to wake up.
l0de: If you want to talk radio shit, #LRH on efnet, sloth and nance are the big gearheads
l0de: there are a few people there really into web transmission of stuff too, who know all about nginx etc
mircea_popescu: well, how familiar are you with the republic &c ?
l0de: my own expertise is in psychological operatives, I'm former intel
l0de: I'm only vaguely acquainted, I spoke with DPB about it
a111: Logged on 2017-11-12 16:48 mircea_popescu: well, reading through what ? #trilema is the forum of the most serene republic, a terrorist organisation dedicated to the dissolution of all fiat sovereigns and the permanent barring of such nonsense in the future.
l0de: and was somewhat put off to find he didn't have any actionable plans other than BTC inevitably collapsing the government
l0de: whereas I am one of the oldschool change grows out of the barrel of a gun types
mircea_popescu: so, to get on the same page here, the general strategy is, 1. construct undisruptable comms ; 2. disrupt usg&friends comms ; 3. disrupt usg&friends physical presence.
l0de: oh neat
mircea_popescu: as far as mostly 1 is concerned, there's significant interest in shortwave, which is why it's a recurrent thread in the logs.
l0de: that's much more desirable than what we had
l0de: shortwave is problematic for a lot of reasons
mircea_popescu: do tell.
l0de: well for one, it's one of the things the mil pays EXTREMELY close attention to
l0de: every single thing happening on shortwave is of interest to them
mircea_popescu: this is rather an advantage.
l0de: and it's all mapped and documented
l0de: whereas comparatively internet traffic is all filtered and only things fitting a profile are really logged and paid attention to
mircea_popescu: the idea isn't at any point to somehow "appear small and escape detection".
l0de: additionally shortwave is jammable, unreliable, and lossy
l0de: If shortwave was the problem, the USG could render the entire thing unusable with relatively trivial effort
l0de: however it's a valualbe supplement
l0de: no, let me take a look at this
mircea_popescu: render usable how, exactly ? like the soviets did ?
mircea_popescu: it did not work for the soviets ; and it won't work for these soviets v2.0 eithert.
l0de: nice
l0de: the soviets never tried to go nuclear and completely bombard the frequencies
l0de: because of the whole ww3 thing
l0de: now that that's not such a consideration, it's possible to do that in a "oh fuck" scenario
mircea_popescu: the point doesn't JUST go re nukes per se ; this whole "usg could do THE BIG THING" is entirely pantsuit wank.,
l0de: I'm intimately familiar with nukes
l0de: lol @ the sec email by the way
mircea_popescu: in point of fact the usg is today much less powerful or capable than ye olde ck-kpss.
l0de: well I'm just saying here
l0de: at the point where shortwave communications pose an existential threat to usg
l0de: they have the ability to greatly degrade all shortwave communications
l0de: to the point of unusability
mircea_popescu: they have no suych thing
l0de: why do you believe they lack that capability
mircea_popescu: they have less of an ability to impede sw comms than the soviets had in 1977 ; and it didn't work for the soviets in 1977.
mircea_popescu: l0de intel, experience, errything.
l0de: oh I see, I was unaware you were in intelligence
l0de: what branch \ dept
mircea_popescu: i am not in intelligence ; i have my very own intel dept, as a going concern.
l0de: well, I would suggest you remain open to the possibility that this capability exists
l0de: as a free tip from your friend, l0de ray dio
l0de: I'm more of a fan of a microsat style solution
l0de: it is a huge fucking pain in the ass to deal with those
mircea_popescu: why is that ?
l0de: because we don't currently have a platform that can deal with them in a meaningful way
l0de: I'm actually working on a science fiction story about it right now
mircea_popescu: romania recently launched its first sat ; it was a 10 cc sorta lul.
l0de: we roma believe it's now what you have
l0de: but how you use it
mircea_popescu: wait what ?
l0de: yes, I'm a gyp
l0de: brb
mircea_popescu: lol romania is rather unrelated to gypsies.
mircea_popescu: sorta like naples has little to do with napalm.

mircea_popescu: lol. hey, leave a way for danielpbarron to pay you
l0de: ya, he's sending the funds to MTW

l0de: MTW is our moneyman

l0de: Our next show will be on 12/31
l0de: get someone to call in and do an infomercial about the republic
mircea_popescu: feel free to leave pointer
ben_vulpes: !!reputation MTW
mircea_popescu: anyway, for the record and in case it isn't entirely self-evident on the basis of http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-25#1758486 : whenever some self-proclaimed "sovereign" of the fiat sort tries to say "hey, we have a law", the correct response is to a) point out to that self-proclaimed faux sovereign that there exist other just as valid because just as self-proclaimed faux sovereigns (the eu, russia, china, whatever, bucnha them
a111: Logged on 2017-12-25 18:10 mircea_popescu: have you read eg http://trilema.com/2014/interacting-with-fiat-institutions-a-guide/ ?
mircea_popescu: ) ; b) that the "law" of $random-other-fiatlul MAY (not does, MAY) diverge in any manner at any point and finally that c) it is incumbent on the pretender to exhaustively prove to any arbitrary standard that b does not apply.
mircea_popescu: this drives the screw into the psychopaths that their wankworld is just one random wankworld among many extant and possible ones, of no further interest than any other piece of bad fanfic, and besides, evidently the only way to satisfy c is if they conquer each other, so maybe ww-lulz can be had in the same go.
mircea_popescu: and speaking of http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-25#1758548 anyone got any ideas of how to meaningfully support the SW hobbist ?

ben_vulpes: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-21#1755738 << i wrote both a "rebroadcasttransaction" and a "dumprawtx"; the former categorically did not work, the latter...at least produces raw transactions on disk.
a111: Logged on 2017-12-21 01:52 phf: i think correct method would really be to get the transaction out as a binary array into shiva, and then have a transaction parser in shiva itself that'll break it down into a sexp or whatever

ben_vulpes: "The SEC, on the other hand, thinks that the accelerated monitoring fees themselves were dumb and bad. It is not wrong, exactly, about that. But dumb and bad fees are not, in general, violations of the securities laws, and so the SEC has to pretend that the dumb and bad fees were also not disclosed. It is sort of a charming picture of the investment industry: If a fee is dumb and bad enough, then no investor
ben_vulpes: could have agreed to pay it, so it must not have been disclosed. Even if it actually was."
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform, mod6, mircea_popescu: because an ideal v wouldn't apply both increase_aggression_levels and excise_hash_truncation when pressing excise_hash_truncation, how do i make another vpatch depend on both of those without needlessly touching a file changed in excise_hash_truncations to make increase_aggression_levels depend on it or vice versa?
ben_vulpes: i baked the vpatch i'm working on by pressing to excise_hash_truncation which only works accidentally, as v.pl presses both leaves at that level (first increase_aggression_levels and then excise_hash_truncation); but i don't see a route to producing a vpatch stitching together excise_hash_truncation and increase_aggression_levels without doing something that v doesn't support like pressing multiple heads
ben_vulpes: that don't touch the same file
ben_vulpes: the specifics of this case is that increase_aggression_levels touches *only* net.cpp and excise_hash_truncations touches a whole lotta stuff but *not* net.cpp

phf: so first time i got on irc, 96 or so, i was on some random irc channel, and overcome with the awesomeness (in the proper sense) of this intercontinental communication. the person i was talking to was irish, so, eager to find some common ground in this historically first teleconference between the russian people and the irish, i blurted that you could say that i'm also sort of irish
phf: he said, oh yeah, so i had to explain that you could say that i was irish, by way of Rurik, who was a Varangian. when the guy finally understood what i was talking about, he was not amused, possibly because i got my nordic tribal relationships wrong
phf: so naturally i was surprised and delighted when i came to u.s., and discovered that every other person i'd meet was also russian, by way of a great great great great parent who imigrated from ireland, fleeing as he was the repercussions of second desmond rebellion
