undata asciilifeform: I'd not mind if you hurried up making a computer that works for me :D [01:36]
asciilifeform ubiquitous on u.s. east coast [01:36]

asciilifeform which ups [01:36]
asciilifeform there's two, theirs & yours [01:37]
cazalla mircea_popescu, anything that's good, does [01:37]
decimation my understanding is that verzion 'gives' you an ups that you must maintain [01:37]
asciilifeform decimation: the customer-ended one comes with the box [01:37]
asciilifeform aha [01:37]
decimation right, but who replaces the inevitable dead battery? [01:37]

assbot [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 57750 @ 0.0004784 = 27.6276 BTC [+] {2} [01:37]
decimation in the past, with copper, this was the phone company's responsibility [01:37]
asciilifeform when i got the building there wasn't even a battery. [01:37]
asciilifeform decimation: aha because there was no battery on subscriber premises in the copper era. unless he owned one. [01:38]
decimation precisely [01:38]
asciilifeform for what it's worth, i have the damned thing plugged into a monster 'liebert' doubleconverter along with the rest of the orchestra. [01:38]
mircea_popescu uh i never had this ? wut are you talking about ?! [01:38]
decimation I've heard that once verzion runs fiber to your premises, they typically take the time to rip out the old copper wire [01:38]
asciilifeform mircea_popescu: large telco where i live. [01:38]
mircea_popescu ok but what battery ? [01:39]
decimation because they don't want to be held to 'common carrier' standards of common access and maintenance [01:39]
asciilifeform decimation: aha. there was a rat's nest of mangled copper when i got to it. [01:39]
asciilifeform mircea_popescu: the particular telco's optical terminal chest comes with a battery. and lusers whine interminably that 'why do i have to replace this battery every year, i w4ntz fr3333 stuff' [01:39]

mircea_popescu it doesn't have to be ON THE EXACT END [01:40]
asciilifeform mircea_popescu: here the pole also has a battery, for the telco routers. but the house optical chest has another. this is actually on account of an ancient law that proclaims that voice telephony must work during mains outages [01:41]
mircea_popescu and it's still illegal to fuck with the copper in yurp. [01:41]
decimation in the past, the copper wires were 'powered' by the telephone company in its central office [01:41]

mircea_popescu cazalla i skimmed it. dude's begging you and errything. he's nobody i heard of, prolly some noob. [01:42]
mircea_popescu imo not wrth the bullets. [01:42]
cazalla but he has so many ratings from otc from all his $5 buys! [01:42]
decimation not for any technical reason, but because of the assorted pile of usg policy & requirements that apply to 'common carrier' services like telephone [01:42]
mircea_popescu let ppls live [01:42]
cazalla anyway, he came looking for me, not me him, just as easy to neg rate him and move on with it [01:43]
mircea_popescu decimation imo destroying the copper infrastructure is even dumber than destroying the family infrastructure. [01:43]

assbot Logged on 02-05-2014 21:22:05; asciilifeform: copper is expensive - not merely the metal, but maintenance - keeping water out of the cable ducts, etc. the telcos would hurry to be rid of it even the removal did not speed the arrival of arsenet. [01:44]
mircea_popescu im pretty sure most landline infrastructure in eastern europe has never been maintained in any sense since at least 1985 [01:44]

assbot Maybe the blockchain could be the basis of a global "web of trust" and that could be an hugely big deal. https://t.co/jaQC4zLSuT [16:00]
mircea_popescu fluffypony there's a lot of challenges to the quaint notions of what the state has the authority to do to be brought through deploying the much more widely avaialble powers of math. situation somewhat similar to, while currently a government may claim for itself the right to legislate as to the albedo of undiscovered stars, once they're discovered that's gone. [16:00]
mircea_popescu sgornick tbh, it's kind of how it goes, that various social media heads put up on whatever social media thing bits and pieces of what they've read in year-old logs here. [16:01]
mircea_popescu danielpbarron occasionally chases it. [16:01]
fluffypony mircea_popescu: that's an entirely separate issue to "I choose to live in your house and abide by your rules...except when it doesn't suit and I can just claim 'art' instead" [16:01]

mircea_popescu to use the "on terrorism" apparatus, obviously a state can try to support itself on both process of law and terrorism. some, like stalin's , actually succeeded. it's dubious one can succeed without a stalin to o it tho. i dun see bureaucrats were ever born able to pull it off.

mircea_popescu asciilifeform you don't understand how social works work. so : if anyone can get one, it's ok. if it becomes apparent not everyone will have one, it's not. [16:12]

mircea_popescu otherwise, backlash doesn't. [16:12]
pete_dushenski it's not clear to me why everyone couldn't have a glasshole [16:13]

pete_dushenski only because it never seemed "premium" just creepy [16:14]
mircea_popescu consider how it works. take an island of 100 people, of which 5 boys and 6 girls under 30, 10 boys and 11 girls under 40. now, one day the fashion is for girls to wear clothes with a hole over left nipple, so it's always exposed. [16:15]
mircea_popescu 15 boys like this. if 9 girls hate it, it'll become a "civil rights" issue, but happen anyway. [16:15]
mircea_popescu if 3 girls hate it, it'll become a tradition. [16:15]
mircea_popescu had 9 boys hated it, it'd have become a google glass. [16:15]
pete_dushenski so >90% boys like a toy --> fashion! [16:16]
mircea_popescu pretty much. [16:16]
mircea_popescu > 25% or so hate it --> doomed. [16:16]
pete_dushenski 30-90% and who knows [16:17]
pete_dushenski hmm [16:17]
mircea_popescu yea actuall this can be the 30-90% rule. [16:17]
pete_dushenski i can see it [16:17]

asciilifeform mircea_popescu: head-worn displays are considered, by usg, to be key military tech (all existing manufacturers of serious - i.e. svga and above units - supply usg exclusively) [18:22]
asciilifeform mircea_popescu: they are mostly, but not exclusively, issued to jet pilots [18:22]
asciilifeform (a variant for infantry was, last i heard, in the works, but mired in an f35-esque bureaucratic treacle) [18:23]
mircea_popescu the russians use them . the chinese use them. [18:23]
mircea_popescu they cost a shitton. [18:23]
asciilifeform they were not, last i checked, sop in any russian machine. [18:23]
mircea_popescu the new sukhoi thing has them from what i recall. [18:23]
asciilifeform now, 'heads-up' displays - yes [18:23]
asciilifeform but not the same! [18:23]
asciilifeform 'heads-up' projects onto the glass. snore. [18:24]
mircea_popescu anyway, the difference might simply be explained by price. so, if a car costs 20-30k and a supercar 200 to 300k, whereas a jet fighter 20 to 30 mn, [18:24]
mircea_popescu it stands to reason tech available to one is not available to the other. [18:24]
mircea_popescu because it'd cost more than the fucking car. [18:24]
asciilifeform except that the 'magic' of a microdisplay is entirely one silicon die. [18:24]
asciilifeform could easily cost a penny. [18:24]
asciilifeform every year i go to my local university's tech exhibit. there is always this one greybeard who runs their si fab, and he has some old wafers, etc. he also has a 'look in this box and press red button.' inside: svga display with graphics demo. the stamp on the box is some time in the '90s.

asciilifeform (box was approx. the size of a deck of cards.) [18:28]
asciilifeform it took me many years to realize why svga ocular display cannot be had at price below a 'boeing.' not because miniaturized led is dark magic. [18:29]
asciilifeform and not because of the patent trolls - they are merely the weapon, not the wielder [18:29]
asciilifeform it's a straight usg thing. [18:29]

asciilifeform mircea_popescu: the point was not about optical snooping, etc. mundane fact is that the number one application for svga ocular is really partizan infantry. [18:40]

undata davout: appreciate it; however nah I'm not [19:26]
ben_vulpes getdata is used in response to inv, to retrieve the content of a specific object, and is usually sent after receiving an inv packet, after filtering known elements. It can be used to retrieve transactions, but only if they are in the memory pool or relay set - arbitrary access to transactions in the chain is not allowed to avoid having clients start to depend on nodes having full transaction indexes (which modern nodes do not).
