solrodar what happens if ALL the bets on one side are refunded? [10:25]
solrodar I think the only fair response would be to cancel the whole bet and refund the other side as well [10:26]
mod6 <+mircea_popescu> that's not so good. <+asciilifeform> which is not a thing that you want. << Ah, ok. Thanks for looking at it. Instead of using ~/.gnupg, would it be alright to create a ~/.gpgtmp upon startup and rm ~/.gpgtmp when complete? [10:44]
punkman solrodar: that does seem problematic [10:45]
solrodar I'd argue that BitBet is holding the pool in trust for the winners [10:49]
solrodar if there are no winners, then the whole thing is null and void and the money should be sent back to where it came from [10:49]
punkman solrodar: but do the losing bettors have a claim on that money? [10:53]

mircea_popescu solrodar it is an interesting point. [11:31]
shinohai marriage should be like an alliance between friendly nations. Outside of that it is a horrid concept, as defined in the us [11:32]
mircea_popescu mod6 yeah i think the idea is to have a temp space. [11:32]
mircea_popescu fluffypony mmyeah, some cattle got burned so now they want the mayor in prison. because logically, that's what matters. when teh politruks set the whole country on fire nobody gave a shit, but god help you if some moos get run over. [11:34]
fluffypony lol [11:34]
mircea_popescu shinohai here's the problem : explain to me that you are defending "traditional marriage" aka "between a man or a woman" ~for the principle of the thing~ but not at the same time "traditional marriage" aka "the husband can take it whenever he feels like". they're both the same thing. [11:35]

solrodar punkman: in the absence of any precedent or rule for this situation, I suppose nobody has a claim on the money [11:39]
mircea_popescu god i hate bucharest. just looking at that picture... brrrrr. but unrelatedly, if you lived behind one of those front windows, and there was a protest at night like that, wouldn't you fuck the woman for the camera ? [11:39]
solrodar it would be acceptable for bitbet to destroy it by sending it somewhere provably unspendable, but not to keep it for themselves [11:40]
mircea_popescu solrodar the problem with precedent and rule based systems is that you don't know what will happen until it actually happens. i would guess what would happen here would be the bet gets cancelled and so the nos get their btc back too, and perhaps the ability of bet starter to create that clause gets curtailed. [11:40]

mircea_popescu so here's something for alf : "Through much of their history US finishing schools emphasized education in the social graces and de-emphasized scholarship: society encouraged a polished young lady to hide her intellectual prowess for fear of frightening away suitors.

trinque asciilifeform: along the lines of the problems with your node, deedbot- now routinely gets orphans and nothing else blasted at it from various IPs, and will at times not be able to reach the node mircea_popescu gave, though I am not presently certain why [17:10]
trinque currently it is trying to catch up from the last orphan ass blasting by feeding from mp's node [17:11]
trinque and I have given that IP via -connect which unfortunately will keep it from being of use to anyone else [17:12]
trinque two things there: one I think I will begin looking into the connect vs addnode tangle this weekend, as it's affecting the proper functioning of the deedbot- [17:14]
trinque and two, I would like to move the hosting of the thing off AWS if anyone can recommend a friendlier host [17:14]
trinque it would not be surprising to me at all that Amazon obediently fucks with the thing from within [17:15]
trinque also, I span up bitcoind-0.5.4-beta last night and it began gagging on orphan blocks around 150k [17:22]

mircea_popescu anyway, in the general, this is the closed form life equation of people doing something worthwhile : they have a terrible time as kids because their parents are idiots ; they get fucking stampeded as adults, because people are lazy ; they get all the accolades, moneys and bitches when they're old, because it doesn't do anything for them anymore (thus it's finally safe) ; once they're dead they get to be the face sellin [20:51]

mircea_popescu (but ftr, china is land of the freedom. they actually and specifically do not do any of the aml bs.) [21:05]

asciilifeform ;;google m_debug gpg never worked [21:06]
gribble Using the GNU Privacy Guard: GPG Configuration Options - GnuPG: ; gpg manpage - GnuPG: ; Using the GNU Privacy Guard: GPG Esoteric Options - GnuPG: [21:06]
mircea_popescu here's a tidbit : all "named" banks actually operate under license, separately. because the chinese will strangle you if you actually send info over. [21:06]
asciilifeform hm. from my ip it ends in on log.b-a [21:06]
mircea_popescu and so the westerners are too petrified by the double whammy, and can't operate themselves. [21:06]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform i see what gribble sees. [21:07]
asciilifeform unsurprise. [21:07]
* asciilifeform collected five versions of gpg, not in one is the thing actually implemented [21:08]
asciilifeform ergo the last time anyone could have easily tested the allocator is - at the very latest - 1997 [21:08]
asciilifeform supposing it were ever tested [21:08]
asciilifeform and (and i could go on and on) the thing is implemented in a profoundly braindamaged way [21:09]
asciilifeform as a kind of reimplementation of malloc that... uses malloc internally for the segments ! [21:09]
asciilifeform how hard would it have been to allot a static buffer at warmup ?!!!!! [21:09]
asciilifeform how easy it would have been to bitwalk it (like the braindead 'secmem' thing in gpg insists on doing PER SEGMENT !!?!!!) [21:10]
mircea_popescu you're not trying to argue that gpg is to be replaced are you ? [21:10]
* r0kit has quit (Quit: r0kit) [21:10]
asciilifeform i'm trying to salvage what is salvageable. [21:10]
asciilifeform and the answer turns out to be 'precious little' [21:10]
mircea_popescu aite. nothing wrong with putting the many warts in the log, either [21:10]
mircea_popescu just, you sound so indignantly surprised. [21:10]
asciilifeform i cannot help but be surprised when i encounter, in the old words of ben_vulpes, 'clown cars glued to a spinning ceiling' [21:11]
asciilifeform someone worked astonishingly hard to make this thing a nearly-incomprehensible morass. [21:12]
asciilifeform incidentally - there is a very convenient 1-byte flag, that, if 'poked', will instantly cause gpg to use ordinary (paged) memory. [21:13]
asciilifeform this is AT RUNTIME [21:14]
mircea_popescu http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=04-11-2015#1316085 << not so. [21:14]
assbot Logged on 04-11-2015 19:30:55; asciilifeform: incidentally hardware raid utterly annihilates (if used correctly - that is, for striping rather than mirroring) all known and unknown 'hdd firmware diddles' [21:14]
mircea_popescu people tend to use the same exact hdd in raid [21:14]
asciilifeform mircea_popescu: and how is one to conspire with the others ? [21:15]
asciilifeform if each holds a reed-solomon stripe [21:15]
asciilifeform let's say there are 4 of'em. [21:15]
mircea_popescu i suppose i should have said "not necessarily" [21:15]
asciilifeform which is why i said 'when used correctly' [21:15]
mircea_popescu aha. yea. [21:15]
asciilifeform but yes, if the disks 'know' (somehow) that you have a raid-5 of n disks, using a particular controller, they could, e.g., 'agree' to return a patched boot sector. [21:16]
asciilifeform but they must know without fail. otherwise the offending disk gets thrown out. [21:17]
mircea_popescu not like this doesn't happen [21:17]
mircea_popescu think about it.,.. well, i dunno how much experience you have with it, but [21:17]
mircea_popescu "fail new disk" error rate seems to be 5 to 10x higher in raid setups than in solo setups. [21:17]
mircea_popescu .... why ? [21:17]
asciilifeform because a solo will happily carry on with a rotten disk ? [21:18]
asciilifeform how's he to know [21:18]
asciilifeform a solo disk doesn't get thrown out, typically, until it begins to smoke [21:18]
mircea_popescu perhaps. [21:18]
asciilifeform raid also tends to be used by folks who run boxes 24/7, and hot [21:19]
asciilifeform which brings out the duds. [21:19]
asciilifeform another thing is that the drives usually share power rail and one can cascade-kill the rest [21:19]
shinohai see bitcointalk going down every 2 weeks for an example of shitty raid configs. [21:19]

pete_dushenski white rapper = eminem ? [21:58]
mircea_popescu aha [21:58]
BingoBoingo white rapper = Little Debbie? [22:00]
mircea_popescu (the original, ie https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZrgcSQRN0U says "why do you look at me as if i stole from you ? if you're gonna do that, i might as well...) [22:00]
assbot B.U.G. Mafia - Cuvinte Grele (feat. Puya, Luchian, Maximilian, Pacha Man & ViLLy) - YouTube ... ( http://bit.ly/1Nf0rvQ ) [22:00]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform but entertain me, for my own education, on a purely business matter of some public interest. [22:01]
asciilifeform shoot [22:01]
mircea_popescu i could spend money to have eulora interface translated into some sort of an iapp. it'd prolly work, more or less. i... aren't bothering myself with actually doing this. [22:02]
mircea_popescu do you not count it as an example of developer eschewing the monopoly ? and to apple's detriment ? [22:02]
asciilifeform it'd have to be sideloaded [22:02]
mircea_popescu sure, they got a monopoly on all the candy crush. so ? [22:02]
mircea_popescu hm ? [22:02]
mircea_popescu what is "sideloaded" ? [22:02]
asciilifeform run solely on cracked machines [22:02]
mircea_popescu why ? [22:02]
asciilifeform apple demands that any transfer of value of whatever kind inside an ipnohe proggy happen using their system [22:03]
* Evolyn (~Evolyn@HSI-KBW-5-56-208-4.hsi17.kabel-badenwuerttemberg.de) has joined #bitcoin-assets [22:03]
asciilifeform with their vig taken. [22:03]
mircea_popescu there is no "transfer of value" within eulora [22:03]
asciilifeform ergo no bitcoinatronic apps period. [22:03]
mircea_popescu 100% free app, i charge for nothing. [22:03]
mircea_popescu same thing as with steam : i would not even accept money from them. [22:03]
asciilifeform aha but the first time anyone thinks of using it to move coin, it gets pulled. [22:03]
mircea_popescu because how ? [22:04]
mircea_popescu they're gonna what, police users ? [22:04]
asciilifeform as a non-player, am i mistaken that one can move btc using eulora .. ? [22:04]
mircea_popescu but forget this nonsense, focus on the business interest. [22:04]
mircea_popescu so : there is a thing. it doesn't go there. to their detriment. what of the monopoly ? [22:04]
mircea_popescu or you're proposing that I need ~them~ or something ? [22:04]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform you can move btc using email, too. what of it ? your problem. [22:05]
asciilifeform mircea_popescu, very apparently, does not need the kolhoz, no. [22:05]
mircea_popescu but the point is important, in light of your article. [22:05]
asciilifeform when i wrote that piece, there was a very temporary phenomenon where the small-time independent programmer appeared to be a thing again [22:05]
asciilifeform like in the mid '90s 'shareware scene' [22:05]
mircea_popescu so s.mg is excepted because it's... big ? [22:06]
asciilifeform because it doesn't actually need anything from anyone. [22:06]
mircea_popescu but this is true of all success, ever. [22:06]
mircea_popescu ipad didn't get any fortress-whatever that's called action either. [22:06]
asciilifeform i wasn't speaking of success, but of a living wage in the leprosorium. [22:06]
asciilifeform s.mg does not live in the leprosorium. [22:06]
mircea_popescu in fact, and i had this deeply reviewed, ipad is an approximation of "Flash games"/arcade website, which was always a bit player. [22:06]
mircea_popescu they have like... 3 types of games, and rehashed ad nauseam. [22:06]
mircea_popescu want me to describe ? [22:07]
asciilifeform today - yes. it transitioned to the spamatronic cargo cult phase [22:07]
mircea_popescu imo they failed unconscionably at this. [22:07]
mircea_popescu right. [22:07]
asciilifeform where everything is an imitation of a cheap imitation. [22:07]
mircea_popescu and they HAD, 5 years ago, a thing. [22:07]
asciilifeform had, aha. [22:07]
mircea_popescu missed by a mile, they weren't even shooting towards it. [22:07]
asciilifeform today 'steam' appears to be doing the temporary 'having' of that thing [22:07]
mircea_popescu right. [22:07]
asciilifeform tomorrow it'll be another, similar. [22:07]
mircea_popescu and i'm marginally consdiering them (iirc was in the logs), but also kind-of meh. [22:08]
asciilifeform it's a kolhoz [22:08]
asciilifeform all kolhoz follow the same dynamic, afaik. [22:08]
mircea_popescu and the reason is, apparently, that steam doesn't have the wisdom to have expert packagers out there looking for work. [22:08]
mircea_popescu which is what i/bezos would have done as #1 thing to do. [22:08]
mircea_popescu it's very strange how stupid perpetuates itself in that market, in spite of better exampled extant, and well publicised. [22:08]
asciilifeform at any rate, i (and $maxint others) will port $whateverthefuckyouwant to, e.g., cray II. for a fee. [22:08]
mircea_popescu it's almost like the dating market : some people are decent at picking up c hicks, and the losers watch them do it and... still suck. [22:09]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform i would honestly think it's a waste of your time to do this ? [22:09]
asciilifeform you know that's how i waste most of it, right ? [22:09]
mircea_popescu not that it's not open to folk wanting the work and +wot centrality, but hey. [22:09]
asciilifeform doing wurk to make rentz. [22:09]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform yes, that may be, but i do not waste most of my money downshifting people. in general i waste it upshifting people. [22:10]
mircea_popescu hence "pay for your tits" schemes etc. [22:10]
mircea_popescu course... people are talented at resisting it, but hey :D [22:10]
mircea_popescu "You want a non-tyrannical Apple? Rather than striving to weaken Apple so that it can be devoured by its brawny-yet-mindless competitors, do something constructive.

asciilifeform by all indications, they jailed the crippled man and ransacked his home. [22:51]
asciilifeform where they found some schizo notebook of his [22:51]

asciilifeform this, in short, is why i found the case interesting to begin with... [22:53]
asciilifeform in ru we say the case was 'stitched together' [22:54]
asciilifeform or 'stitched with white thread' [22:54]
mircea_popescu "|Ulanoff completely fails to examine this "oh yeah, we suck in some areas claim". Why? The guy's a "car reporter". No more, no less. If he says negative things about the companies that pay his salary, he gets fired and the publication for whom he works never gets another scoop/lead/exclusive." << BUT WHY ? [22:54]
mircea_popescu "because the public doesn't matter." ah, okay. [22:54]
mircea_popescu so then... [22:54]
asciilifeform (this comes from old notebooks having held together with thread, that turned dark with dirt and age. when pages were inserted or removed surreptitiously, new thread was often used to stitch the thing back) [22:55]
asciilifeform hence the application to spurious criminal cases. [22:55]
asciilifeform white thread. [22:55]
BingoBoingo aha [22:55]
asciilifeform BingoBoingo: 'Of course the political assassination theory neglects motive for killing the real estate' -- missing a dash [22:56]
asciilifeform killing -- the real estate [22:56]
asciilifeform -- [22:56]
BingoBoingo "Of course the political assassination theory neglects motive for killing the real estate agent instead killing the sheriff." better? [22:57]
asciilifeform still can't parse [22:58]
mircea_popescu "Apple's fabrication partners appear to be taking the opposite approach, which is to select parts whose tolerance errors cancel each other out." << this is wartime engineering. [22:58]
mircea_popescu that's how the nazis were beaten. [22:58]
mircea_popescu +-5% mechanical parts and patience. [22:59]
asciilifeform it is soviet sop. [22:59]
BingoBoingo "Of course the political assassination theory neglects motive for killing the real estate agent instead of killing the sheriff." << better? [22:59]

asciilifeform which is how my brother still doesn't fully believe, in his gut heart, that physics works [23:00]

mod6 asciilifeform: are you impartial to /tmp instead of ~/gnupgtmp ? I just put in the changes and this is what gpg spit back at me: http://dpaste.com/23A824E.txt [23:02]

asciilifeform mod6: home dir is prolly the correct approach [23:03]
asciilifeform mod6: see if perl doesn't have a built-in notion of temp dirs [23:03]
mod6 ah, similar to your py implementation? i'll take a look. [23:03]
asciilifeform 'v' doesn't deal in secrets, ergo the actual location is unimportant. [23:03]
mircea_popescu and in today's milking news, http://41.media.tumblr.com/91c1efcf80578e17d367a6cfc6d97787/tumblr_miljedZhkU1rdbtrjo1_1280.jpg [23:03]

mod6 at first glance, looks like one needs to "use File::Tempdir", so will veer away from that. [23:05]
asciilifeform homedir oughta work, but the trick is that you gotta know that it's one you made, every time [23:08]
asciilifeform and not one that was previously lying around, that is now about to have its contents zapped [23:08]
asciilifeform in lisp parlance, it has to be a 'gensym' [23:08]
asciilifeform -- a unique thing that never was and never will be again. [23:09]
asciilifeform (literally) [23:09]
mircea_popescu q : wouldn't the right way to do this be, "gen session key" ? [23:09]
asciilifeform it would, if there were secretz [23:09]
mircea_popescu so what if they aren't ? [23:09]
mircea_popescu it does offer a firm guarantee that "always the one you made" [23:10]
mod6 my thought was to create if it doesn't exist, otherwise die. and delete at the end of execution. however there is a scenario where if for instance a seal exists from a key that is not in the wot and the application exits before main returns. [23:10]
mircea_popescu gen memory key, keep it in a file keyed thus, delete on finish. [23:10]
asciilifeform create in such a way that creation fails if dir existed. problem solved. [23:10]
mircea_popescu you can still be lied to. [23:10]
asciilifeform sure. [23:10]
mircea_popescu symlinks among others [23:11]
asciilifeform and at the end of the day, 'v' is a unix proggy and isn't even a compiled thing, and utterly depends on 1,000,001 things that no one has examined since 1991. [23:11]
mircea_popescu true. [23:11]
mircea_popescu just a thought. [23:11]
mod6 i guess i could hash the epoch time and append it to the dir name, store it as a global for "session" key. [23:12]
mircea_popescu how's a time dependency help you ? [23:12]
mircea_popescu "time" is not your friend. [23:12]
mod6 just something unique to when executed. [23:12]
asciilifeform this kind of thing can only be implemented as a global thing. [23:13]
mod6 hmm. [23:13]
mod6 i don't wanna over complicate this to begin with. [23:13]
asciilifeform 'fortunately' it can't be done at all on unix. [23:14]

phf mod6: file::temp is perl stock [23:48]
phf mkdtemp is a canonical way of creating a temporary directory on unix, that'll also ensure a) no collisions b) proper permissions, i.e. 700 [23:48]
trinque asciilifeform: one might rotate a production log, fine [23:50]
trinque the rotation was put in the debug log; that is mega-autism [23:50]
trinque and not even rotation, goofy head-trimming [23:51]
asciilifeform i must confess that i disagree. the thing runs, as it might, self-contained, to the extent practical. [23:51]
asciilifeform if you recall, the original wasn't even assured of running on a unix [23:51]
