mircea_popescu: Framedragger the problem here is moreover default trust. so you wake up one day and you see... "gnupg". nomina nuda. you look around, theres' "werner koch" idem, nomina nuda. you look, there's "tor" with "shari" and "isis". names, hollow as can be. but the natural tendency of the brain, to see movement in a succession of stills and meaning in noise and structure in names convinces you these are THINGS. [09:08]
mircea_popescu: and for lack of obvious, pungent, loud alternative, you decide that... well... where's that quote [09:08]
mircea_popescu: "Pangloss enseignait la métaphysico-théologo-cosmolonigologie. Il prouvait admirablement qu’il n’y a point d’effet sans cause, et que, dans ce meilleur des mondes possibles, le château de monseigneur le baron était le plus beau des châteaux, et madame la meilleure des baronnes possibles. [09:10]
mircea_popescu: Il est démontré, disait-il, que les choses ne peuvent être autrement car tout étant fait pour une fin, tout est nécessairement pour la meilleure fin. Remarquez bien que les nez ont été faits pour porter des lunettes aussi avons-nous des lunettes. Les jambes sont visiblement instituées pour être chaussées, et nous avons des chausses. Les pierres ont été formées pour être taillées et pour en faire des châtea [09:10]
mircea_popescu: ux aussi monseigneur a un très beau château : le plus grand baron de la province doit être le mieux logé et les cochons étant faits pour être mangés, nous mangeons du porc toute l’année : par conséquent, ceux qui ont avancé que tout est bien ont dit une sottise il fallait dire que tout est au mieux." [09:10]
mircea_popescu: then ~I~'m supposedly "held", absurdly, to "demonstrate" and to "bring proof" and to "verify signature" against a ridiculous "default" constructed in this manner. [09:11]
mircea_popescu: which is the original point of http://btcbase.org/log/2016-08-17#1523089 : if for whatever reason you're unwilling to bias against pangloss, notwithstanding that this is both shown by experience to be a most productive, useful and eficacious heuristic as well as deductively sound nevertheless at the very least you can't bias FOR it. [09:14]
a111: Logged on 2016-08-17 16:13 mircea_popescu: evidently, the socialist party does the exact same thing. for reasons of habit however, it doesn't irk you when they do it only when we do it. [09:14]
shinohai: later tell BingoBoingo http://ix.io/1g68 [09:14]
gribble: The operation succeeded. [09:14]
mircea_popescu: (the foregoing, outrageously, shamefully, shockingly, is merely a plain restatement of the intellectual scepticism requirement. in the ignare, barbarous world we find ourselves immersed, this apparently needs statement, because the concept has somehow been hijacked by the very fucking arlequins it's supposed to guard against, from "obama" to "roger ver" and the whole kaboodle of rotten, hollow reeds in between. which incident [09:34]
mircea_popescu: ally IS the absolutel measure of "how barbaric are the times ?" : look how many of the fortresses build to keep the barbarians out are actually working to keep them in.) [09:34]
asciilifeform: meanwhile, in the land of orlols, 'From a diplomatic perspective, it would be much more tidy to treat the problem of war criminals running the US as an internal, American political problem, to be solved by Americans themselves, with an absolute minimum of outside help.

asciilifeform: meanwhile prb 'almost ready' for phork, https://bitcoincore.org/en/2016/08/23/release-0.13.0 [12:17]
asciilifeform: and let's also introduce a new lulzvector! -- 'There’s no need for the node to receive the transaction a second time if it still has the first copy. Compact block relay (BIP152) can eliminate this redundancy by allowing a node to receive from its peers an ordered list of what transactions are included in a new block. With this knowledge, the node can use the transactions it has already received to partly or fully reconstruct the tr [12:18]
asciilifeform: ansactions part of the block for itself. If the node doesn’t receive all the transactions it needs to fully reconstruct the block, it requests the missing transactions from its peers, and then uses them to complete the block.' [12:18]
mircea_popescu: should be interesting. [12:19]
asciilifeform: 'This incentivization scheme is often called Child Pays For Parent (CPFP). In the simplest version, miners group a transaction and all of its ancestors together, calculating their total fee-per-byte in order to determine whether mining them together pays a high enough fee to outbid other individual transactions the miner wants to include in its next block.' << ain't that O(N^2) ? [12:21]
asciilifeform: (aside from 'wtf, why') [12:22]
asciilifeform: in fact, it isn't N^2, but potentially exponential (knapsack) [12:22]
asciilifeform: and if this were not enough, now we get Official arm binaries, with 'These binaries are designed for Linux using GNU libc6' [12:23]
mircea_popescu: well, gitian. [12:24]
mircea_popescu: anyway, why : because merchants want to be able to "service" the inept consumer by tacking on extra fees if they get delayed. [12:25]
mircea_popescu: note that this is hardly a change in any sense. [12:25]
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> is there some rule that "experts" in anglosphere must be ludicrously inept at their chosen expertise, as per their own lights ? << Yes, if every "expert" sucks then tournament market doesn't need a very sweet pot for the winrar. [12:26]
mircea_popescu: sick gainz. [12:26]
PeterL: am I correct that we (specifically asciilifeform) decided that a transaction should not be accepted/relayed if its parents are not already in a block? [12:28]
asciilifeform: PeterL: correct. [12:28]
asciilifeform: as per the 'NEVER something-for-nothing-to-allcomers' principle. [12:28]

mircea_popescu: PeterL what's contemplated here is a) miner's internal kitchen, which he's allowed to do on the grounds of having paid for the gear b) not substantially different, you can just regard the two txn as one, provided you know about both. [12:36]
mod6: (22:56) <@mod6> and don't forget to grab: [12:36]
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: as i understand, PeterL was pointing out that trb does not relay the ingredients desired in this kitchen. [12:36]
asciilifeform: which is correct. [12:36]
mircea_popescu: basically prb is trying to act as a sort of bitcoin mining code repository some of the miners contribute some of the less critical code and well... github. [12:36]
mod6: oops, sry. [12:37]
PeterL: so miner running trb-esque thing would not have second transaction [12:37]
mircea_popescu: miner runnign trb-esque thing only would not, right. the first gets cut off because fees, the second because unknown inputs. [12:37]
asciilifeform: this piece was put in as attempt to disincentivize connection to trb nodes. [12:37]
asciilifeform: specifically. [12:38]
mircea_popescu: nah. [12:38]
PeterL: but will trb accept block with chain of transactions in it? [12:38]
asciilifeform: block. [12:38]
asciilifeform: never mempool. [12:38]
mircea_popescu: it was put in because they're desperate for relevancy and it was free code and more code is more better. [12:38]
asciilifeform: (everybody, to date, accepts same blocks...) [12:38]
PeterL: otherwise would fork, no? [12:39]
mircea_popescu: yes. [12:39]
asciilifeform: by definition. [12:39]
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Some miners already seemed to be running software that looked for "Child Pays For Parent" situations. [12:39]
mircea_popescu: trb is however distinguished by being the most acceptant. so... [12:39]
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo for a year or more., [12:39]
asciilifeform: recall the mit mega-leak (meanwhile 'unhappened') re bribing miners ? [12:40]
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I thought since 2013 though some operations turn over [12:40]
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform back before they got smushed on eth, when they thought they got money and a voice ? yeah, i remember. [12:41]
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo yeah, been a while. [12:41]
asciilifeform: 'parent for child' gives usg a new place to spend the waterfall - as subsidies for 'expediting' Officially Blessed tx. [12:42]
mircea_popescu: lol what waterfall. [12:42]
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I don't think there was a time since I came into communion with the proto-republic where it wasn't the case. [12:42]
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: No. Miners already were looking for those situations to collect fees. This is just dump a bunch of unnecessary turdcode on the masses [12:43]
mircea_popescu: eh, usg's problem is that it ain't got no money not that it ain't got where to use the money it has. [12:43]
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: understand, 'these situations' can only exist for so long as somebody relays tx-with-ancestors-only-in-mempool. [12:44]
asciilifeform: which is to say, chumps, permitting freeloading on their machine resource. [12:44]
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Miners always had slutty mempools. [12:45]
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-08-23#1527586 << waterfall outlets are not merely for spending coin stolen by usg to date (via pre-trial confiscations, transport searches, nsa pwnholes, etc) but for 'fyoootoor, planned' IOUcoin that is to be somehow rolled out. [13:02]

asciilifeform: 'BLATSTING's implementers are a big fan of mmap. It seems to be used for all file access, not just for manipulating kernel memory through `/dev/mem`. Is it done this way to reduce the number of system calls, to be less conspicious, as well as not reveal what exactly is accessed when running in `strace`? Or maybe a later stage of the rootkit blocks certain kinds of syscalls on certain "hidden" files.' [13:41]

mircea_popescu: but you got the code. [13:54]
mircea_popescu: the one true shocker (and unsurprisingly fishwraps avoid the mention) is just how few hands were involved. [13:55]
mircea_popescu: a dozen people (if that) carry on their "very reasonably engineered" with flecks of "right thing" a la mmap shoulders THOUSANDS of fucking social media monkeys and assorted barn animals they see a paltry few thousands out of the BILLIONS this shitfest burns each year and they don't even have good parking spaces. [13:56]
asciilifeform: from asciilifeform's 'seeeekrit evidential' sources, there are ~300 men, plus several thou 'contractors', of which perhaps 1 in 10 is a trojan writer in the usual sense, and the rest '0day finder' monkeys, operations 'trigger pullers', and similar. [13:56]

asciilifeform: the contractors live off-campus, working out of, e.g., raytheon, grumman, lockheed, and a bunch of 'small minority-owned businesses' (tm), and generally specialize in 'tools', rather than particular ops [13:59]
asciilifeform: re the 'crowbars' from earlier, we have a 'This BIP defines a new witness program type that uses a Merkle tree to encode mutually exclusive branches in a script.

mircea_popescu: i'll care deeply. [14:09]
mircea_popescu: just as much as i cared about the 2012 variant. [14:10]
asciilifeform: there will (and perhaps already are) a multitude of chumpers who believe they have X btc, while really they have some quantity Q, possible 0, of actual btc, and X-Q of gavinola, which consists of tx, somehow elaborately processed, that trb rejects as noise, and display as wtf 'shot into the sun' crapolade in any civilized block viewer [14:11]
mircea_popescu: so ? [14:12]
mircea_popescu: there's also people who imagine they "have a voice" or "social media power" or whatnot. [14:12]
mircea_popescu: there's the regular idiots who think themselves "rich", esr style. [14:12]
asciilifeform: it is laughable, but appears to have successfully depressed, e.g., gold price. [14:12]
asciilifeform: (~same process) [14:12]
mircea_popescu: there's no end to the human capacity for self delusion - which is fundamentally the point of our discussion coupla days ago. you can't have a protocol that keeps people from being stupid. [14:12]
mircea_popescu: do you know how many people think "500 followers" means 500 followers ? [14:14]

mircea_popescu: for that matter, do you know how many think they have seven sons ? [14:14]
ben_vulpes: more tragically, do you know how many social media mommies think that 20 likes on instagram trump 3 girlfriends who'll come over and hold their kid while the smm sobs over a lost parent? [14:15]

ben_vulpes: it's tragic! [14:15]
mircea_popescu: stupidity is always tragic to the stupid. [14:16]
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: earlier observation is just that - observation. that turdmeisters apparently wish to live as cockroaches in the crevices of bitcoin, instead of issuing 'honest' plainly labeled usg alt. [14:16]
mircea_popescu: i find it mildly amusing. [14:16]

ben_vulpes: it's an excellent opportunity to teach about the stealing being stolen. [14:16]
asciilifeform: this is not only angled as 'we'll sell i-cant-believe-its-not-bitcoin to rubes', but also piggybacks on honest nodes' storage and bandwidth. [14:16]
mircea_popescu: i don't see how you can be forced to store txn you dun wanna. [14:17]

mircea_popescu: still :) [14:17]
mircea_popescu: the other side of "segwit" is that there will NEVER be a block size increase. period and full stop. [14:17]
mircea_popescu: given the dilemma of http://trilema.com/2016/the-necessary-prerequisite-for-any-change-to-the-bitcoin-protocol/ the choice was to find a solution that doesn't brick extant miners. understandably. [14:18]
mircea_popescu: this is all fine. and they're more than welcome to hold whatever sidechain db in whatever manner until they fall over. [14:18]
asciilifeform: node operation, in the present implementation of the braindamage, is almost a 'religious' act [14:18]
mircea_popescu: you can count on 1`000`000 bytes ~ every six minutes til kingdom come. that's your bitcoin footprint. [14:19]
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the 'segwit' thing is, as i understand, intended as a protocol hardfork - to isolate trb users. [14:20]
mircea_popescu: that they make segwit that we make deedbot (the two are not even vaguely dissimilar, by the way, except prb doesn't know how to code cleanly), is really nobody's problem. [14:20]
mircea_popescu: psh. [14:20]
mircea_popescu: heck, we might even implement sidechains of whatever fashionable flavour of the month, as a bold-on, if anyone's bored enough. [14:21]

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: state-operated devaluations also not same [14:25]
mircea_popescu: to get you the actual pointers i'd have to dig out through my official history of currency trainingbook which i continents ago misplaced. [14:25]
asciilifeform: i was thinking of direct analogue of 'coloured coin', that is, 'issued' by derp who has 0 connection to the mint [14:25]
mircea_popescu: ah, no. [14:26]
asciilifeform: devaluations - are old hat. [14:26]
mircea_popescu: i suppose some soapy smith somewhere did something like this. [14:26]
asciilifeform: i personally played with massive shoebox of rubles as a boy, and buncha other folk here also. [14:26]
mircea_popescu: also money lottery was popular in the time of voltaire [14:27]
mircea_popescu: (anyone up to date on the lulz that passed for fiscal management of the kingdom back in 1750s ? ) [14:27]
asciilifeform: 'redeem banknote with five sixes for 666!' ? [14:27]
mircea_popescu: well, state issued "rents", ie, you give them so much and they give you so much back. [14:27]
mircea_popescu: then didn't pay. [14:27]
mircea_popescu: so they devalued [14:27]
asciilifeform: how does that differ from modern bond bezzle ? [14:28]
mircea_popescu: THEN came up with idea of lottery, to repay full value for the serials took from a hat. [14:28]
mircea_popescu: then voltaire andsome friends bought all the emissions and so "won" the "lottery" [14:28]
mircea_popescu: really, the 1700s are more instructive to the student of modern finance than any available material. [14:28]
mircea_popescu: turns out pretense empire always dies the same ways. [14:28]
asciilifeform: i see 'coloured coin' as a fundamentally distinct type of chumpatron, 'let's monetize blue Turbo chewing gum wrappers!1111' 'and oh btw i totally don't have a shoebox full of blue' [14:29]
asciilifeform: it is 'alt with premining' by modern parlance, possibly. [14:29]
mircea_popescu: nah. the original colored coins was a "let's do mpex over bitcoin network because mp is something you can replace by a napkin sketch of a protocol" [14:29]
mircea_popescu: ie, THESE coins are now going to be SHARES in so and so. [14:29]

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform they don't. these spontaneous monetizations are spontaneous from an interplay of sexuality and violence which does not exist in anglo world. [14:40]

asciilifeform: i did not go to ~these~ schools, no. [14:41]
asciilifeform: so - nfi [14:41]
mircea_popescu: the ~reason we monetized these was because a) we'd snowball the girls into little piles as soon as the snow came and b) we'd wrestle hundreds of times a day. [14:41]
asciilifeform: but 'naturam expellas furca tamen usque recurret' (tm) (r) so betcha they have SOMETHING. [14:41]

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: stupid vs bubblegum wrap ? [14:42]
mircea_popescu: phf that was a banned maneuver in my place. [14:42]
asciilifeform: how do you make that. [14:42]
asciilifeform: also i dun see the connection with wrestling (in what school do little kids not wrestle one another?) [14:43]
phf: there's mtg but there's not even trade around mtg, afaiu it is heavily mediated through parents "so it that it's fair" [14:43]
asciilifeform: lol! [14:43]
asciilifeform: i can almost picture this. [14:43]
mircea_popescu: 10yo acceptable maneuvers re girls were a) throwing soft snowball (really hard iced ones were for boys only!) sticking snow behind neck but only if done with trickery (ie, if the girl was aware she's about to get it you couldn't do it) and finally pulling pants off. bonus points if also underwear. [14:44]
mircea_popescu: that was more of a summer thing though. [14:44]
* asciilifeform distinctly recalls recent case of boy condemned to insane asylum in usaschwitz for pulling pants off gurl. [14:44]
mircea_popescu: nuts. [14:45]
mircea_popescu: anyway, it got pretty much all of the girls wearing dresses. [14:45]
mircea_popescu: somehow lifting skirt was not ever contemplated. [14:45]
phf: i think wrestle also required trickery [14:45]
mircea_popescu: kidlogic. [14:45]
mircea_popescu: phf by and large the deep driver being that girls at that age suck, being as they are ~marmots. babyfat bubbles on uneasy legs. [14:46]
phf: because you couldn't really test strength against girl, that was inconceivable and those who tried were just weirdos (not to mention testing strength against girl the fuck), but if you managed to do a sneak drop [14:46]
mircea_popescu: ah, yeah, ankle hook was permitted. if you count that as wrestling. [14:47]
mircea_popescu: tho in fairness more girls got boys that way. [14:47]

gribble: The operation succeeded. [16:03]
asciilifeform: elsewhere, 'One thousand dollar bills may seem rare and exotic to the casual observers. The latest series date is 1934A. Surprisingly though, $1,000 bills were seen in circulation up until the early 1970s. You could still order them from banks in the 1960s. It is not uncommon for older Americans to take them to the bank to try to get face value today. Of course we wouldn’t recommend selling them for face value. Only severely impair [16:04]
asciilifeform: ed examples should be worth face value. All other notes are definitely collectible. Some $1,000 bills can be worth several thousand dollars each. Your standard value for a generic note in lightly circulated condition is probably $1,600.' [16:04]
asciilifeform: 'It should go without saying that at the time when most $1,000 bills were printed that they were virtually unobtainable for the average American citizen. We are specifically talking about 1928 and 1934 notes. You can only imagine what kind of purchasing power a $1,000 bill had during the great depression. What is really amazing is that $1,000 bills were first issued during the 1860s. You would have to be extremely wealthy to ever eve [16:04]
asciilifeform: n see a one thousand dollar bank note issued before 1900. That is why large size $1,000 bills are so rare today. If you were rich enough to see one, you were smart enough to not keep it. Currency didn't really become collectible until the 1950s. There was no reason to save a $1,000 bill. You were just losing out on the interest it could be earning.' [16:04]

asciilifeform: and with why kakobrekla is not to be found there ? [17:29]
BingoBoingo: For that we need to go back to the Egyptian Scientists and that time Big headed Yakub invented white folk as the perfect slave race. [17:32]
asciilifeform: lel [17:32]
znort987: asciilifeform: yes, I spent the last week or so reading the logs in both parallel universes before I dip my toes in the waters of irc. [17:33]
BingoBoingo: But Big Headed Yakub made white folk wrong! [17:33]
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: paintgun, ran out of paint, everybuddyknowz. [17:33]
znort987: so fully aware. also don't have a dog in this fight. like I said was trying to see how the wot worked and gave rating where I felt they were due [17:33]
asciilifeform: znort987: there is not - unfortunately - yet a fully decentralized (see 'gossipd' thread) wot mechanism. but there are at least 3 centralized wotrons. in order of age: -otc wot kakobreklan ('assbot') wot and #trilema wot. [17:35]
asciilifeform: most of the users of each successive wotron left the previous one 'to the worms and flies' and quit updating ratings therein. [17:36]
znort987: asciilifeform: yeah, I had that conversation in the other universe. I actually had assumed - given who hangs here - that wot was just gpg keys giving rating to gpg keys and that as long as signed ratings were broadcast far and wide, there was no need for central server. but then I was wrong and discovered the 3-headed snake. I think I'm more or less up to date now. [17:37]
asciilifeform: the 'keys rating keys' thing does not yet exist. [17:38]
trinque: and for that matter *should* [17:38]
znort987: asciilifeform: yeah, like I said, I assumed. [17:38]
asciilifeform: trinque: it was part of mircea_popescu's original gossipd spec. [17:38]
trinque: aha, I'm not gonna bolt some sweet shit on the side of deedbot til gossipd [17:39]
trinque: :D [17:39]
asciilifeform: trinque: well it wouldn't make any sense as a deedbot component [17:39]
znort987: trinque: one point that was raised (in other chan) around the gpg keys signing ratings of other keys was how to handle revoked keys. [17:39]
asciilifeform: (though i suppose it could ~store~ the key-rated-key item as easily as anything else could) [17:40]
trinque: could do the chattering to other deedbots about ratings if ratings were signed matter fed to deedbot via pastebin [17:40]
asciilifeform: znort987: key revocation is not actually a thing [17:40]
trinque: phf and I have briefly discussed it [17:40]
znort987: asciilifeform: mmh. ok, I'll bite. why ? [17:41]
asciilifeform: znort987: rather, yes, there was provision for it in the original openpgp spec, but it is a bogus concept because it entails a global repository of revocation messages and a universal agreement re what time it presently is. [17:41]
asciilifeform: $s revocation [17:41]

asciilifeform: ^ there was at least one detailed thread re this. [17:42]
znort987: asciilifeform: yeah the timestamp of sigs in gpg has always felt like a sorely missing feature. but then I guess you'd need - idk - a blockchain to solve that particular problem I guess. [17:43]
asciilifeform: znort987: familiar with the 'protocol vs promise' concept that we developed and exposed here ? [17:43]

asciilifeform: revocation is a ~promise~, in that there is not such a thing, and never will be such a thing, as a magical lever that instantly makes a key stop working. [17:44]
znort987: asciilifeform: nope. noob here. been reading *some* of the recent logs. [17:44]
phf: if it's keys signing keys then deedbot's ux is rediced to wotpaste urls to signed messages, and then deedbots role is to download/keep a history [17:44]
asciilifeform: there is only a message, that you can transmit to other ~people~, politely asking 'please stop using this key' [17:44]
trinque: phf: ftr I wholly support this idea, and in this scheme it's not global time that matters it's when deedbot saw the material. [17:45]
asciilifeform: and - do i need to draw a picture, or is this obvious ? - they are free to ignore it or they may not even GET the message and are guaranteed to get it, IF they get it, at different physical TIMES [17:45]
asciilifeform: what do you do with a signature that took place after a revocation time, that you have ALREADY accepted as valid for some purpose ? [17:45]
znort987: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-08-23#1527884 << jeez. mother of all the walls of text. life is short ... will try to digest at some point [17:47]

phf: trinque: well, since it's only order of your own rates that's important (rather than global rate order), then you can keep own sequence. 1.rate.phf.-1.doofus, 2.rate.phf.3.actually i take that back. you can just use timestamp if you trust your clock to not fuck you over [17:48]
trinque: ah right, you said this. [17:48]
asciilifeform: phf: when you make use of a timestamp, you are also asking ~other~ people to trust clock not to fuck ~them~ over. [17:49]
asciilifeform: it is not a thing to be done lightly. [17:49]
phf: asciilifeform: no! [17:49]
phf: asciilifeform: only important is that one number is bigger than another [17:49]
asciilifeform: there is not a guarantee even of this [17:50]
asciilifeform: which is why phf can buy airplane ticket and celebrate new year twice in a year. [17:50]
phf: because you don't need to place all rates into absolute order, you just need to order rates of a single person, then it's up to that person to choose which sequence they use. of course better to just keep own counter, but lazy people can rely on timestamp, and get screwed over from time to time [17:51]
asciilifeform: then it is most appropriate to use sequence number [17:51]

phf: mircea_popescu: you know they made scateboards in su, my dad brought me one from tallinn, because he was obsessed with Estonia, but i'm pretty sure by mid 80s they made them all over [21:24]
asciilifeform: $up boolcrap [21:24]
deedbot: boolcrap voiced for 30 minutes. [21:24]
mircea_popescu: phf i had no idea. [21:27]
phf: http://pashasurf.narod.ru/skateboard_Rula.jpg [21:27]
mircea_popescu: hey, pretty cool. whne is this ? 90s ? [21:27]
phf: rula was the estonian brand, and they started making them at least in 70s [21:28]
mircea_popescu: well i had no idea. these things... they're kinda group run. [21:29]
phf: hah, here's an old rula from some su '84 movie http://s51.radikal.ru/i131/1107/de/6cf18e720ba1.jpg [21:29]
mircea_popescu: and in superficially unrelated news, http://65.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lqsnqyy9XO1qfih4xo1_500.jpg [21:30]
phf: i'm pretty sure only reason we had it is because tallinn was closest my dad could get to not-ussr, so he'd buy up whatever cool shit he could find [21:30]
mircea_popescu: anyway - i'm so impressed with you lot actually chewing through that turd, i'm writing the next part. [21:31]
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it was epic [21:31]
asciilifeform: phf: we had, by same token, junk from finland and czechoslovakia. [21:31]
mircea_popescu: we're just getting wormed up. [21:31]
asciilifeform: and buncha stuff from ro. [21:31]
mircea_popescu: ro made skis that were not bad iirc. [21:31]
asciilifeform: incl a very spiffy flashlight with blinkenlights. [21:32]
asciilifeform: (probably intended as road safety thing but fascinating to kid) [21:32]
mircea_popescu: course... do you even sky in mos-cow ? [21:32]
phf: what they call "crosscountry" here is of course winter sop in moscow [21:32]
mircea_popescu: lol [21:33]
* mircea_popescu recalls this lulz where country girl married rich british fellow who had two kids who came to visit. [21:34]
phf: http://www.shishkinn.com/assets/images/ufn2dpa5gsm.jpg [21:34]
mircea_popescu: girl's father had aro (huge bulky suv from the 70s, could go through swamp) and boat. you know, like that, boat, on land [21:35]
mircea_popescu: kids loved the car, but what is boat for ? [21:35]
mircea_popescu: old guy smiled [21:35]
mircea_popescu: then it started to rain... [21:35]
mircea_popescu: "boat is for going shopping" [21:35]
mircea_popescu: ok phf that's beautiful. i fucking miss winter. [21:37]
phf: yeah, main reason i got back to moscow every other winter. "why are you going to russia in winter? isn't it cold? lol!" shut. the. fuck. up. [21:40]
mircea_popescu: that's not even cold. [21:42]
mircea_popescu: perfect snow, looks like maaaaybe -5 [21:42]
mircea_popescu: so anyone recall the spot in the logs many years ago where i explained to iirc trinque that the great sex mutation was most likely driven by the introduction of speech ? [21:43]

phf: what i don't understand is where all the "cool kids" are during summer break? why not go play with them then so you don't have to catch up every time? [21:54]
* phf is really involved in the story, "go little weird short guy, go!" [21:55]
mircea_popescu: wait what ? [21:55]
mircea_popescu: oh lmao. [21:55]
mircea_popescu: btw, it's entirely self-justificatory nonsense. i have personally verified short stature does not per se negatively impact the shorty's prospects. [21:56]
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: now i gotta ask, how ?? [21:56]
asciilifeform: how'dya verify this. [21:56]
mircea_popescu: cuz like this : what's incidence of dude being under 5 feet ? then how come like the best caporegime i ever had was like 4 9 ? [21:57]
asciilifeform: waiwat [21:57]
mircea_popescu: better error messages! sign the petition! [21:57]
asciilifeform: what means 'best caporegime i ever had' [21:59]
asciilifeform: in what sense he was best [22:00]
mircea_popescu: well, in the literal sense, it's a mafia term denoting this dude who operates independently. but in the figurative sense here used, the idea is that you compare incidence as of the biological phenomenon with incidence as invidivuals-who-are-short-and-also-have-x. [22:00]
mircea_popescu: to guess whether short prevents x or not. [22:00]
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: do you know who alexey maresyev was ? [22:01]
mircea_popescu: i do not. [22:01]
asciilifeform: ru ww2 flyer ace. [22:01]
asciilifeform: lost his legs. [22:01]
asciilifeform: kept flyin' [22:01]
asciilifeform: and scorin' [22:01]
mircea_popescu: aha! [22:01]
asciilifeform: pelevin had a riot of a b00k, where there was a 'maresyev school of jet pilotage', where they procrust yer legz first thing [22:02]
mircea_popescu: ahahaha [22:02]
asciilifeform: so then. [22:02]
mircea_popescu: so then what! [22:03]
asciilifeform: maresyev was not, imho, typical flyer. nor mircea_popescu's capo - typical shorty. [22:03]
mircea_popescu: so why would you be ? [22:03]
asciilifeform: dunno, ask all the other flyers who got shorter by a set of legs, why they did not become aces. [22:03]
mircea_popescu: hence my "self justificatory nonsense" comment. [22:03]
mircea_popescu: yes, but in the observation that X was exceptional is not included the proof that Y is not. [22:03]
mircea_popescu: the point was, is shorty bar to performance. we find shorty is no bar to performace. other bars may and indeed do exist, sure. so worry about those. [22:04]
asciilifeform: my observation was re 'does not per se negatively impact'. [22:04]
asciilifeform: it sure as fuck impacts. [22:04]
asciilifeform: (how many chicks will even consider a bloke shorter than self) [22:04]
trinque: can't argue from general case to make comments about the exceptional [22:05]
asciilifeform: maresyev was an ace, with, and without, legs. [22:05]
mircea_popescu: most, fwiseen [22:05]
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu would quite likely still be mircea_popescu if he were shorter by a cubit. [22:05]
mircea_popescu: i won't consider short chicks at least in theory (though say chet was a shorty). [22:06]
asciilifeform: kasparov can wipe the floor with a room full of handicap players. [22:06]
asciilifeform: etc. [22:06]
mircea_popescu: the only magic trick in all this is, how is speaker viewing self. if speaker has already decided is not exceptional then argument "shorty was exceptional - i'm not" can be brought but obviously the heuristic indicates the problem's somewhere else if however speaker hasn't made such decision, then the argument can't be logically brought. and we know whether speaker has or hasn't made such a decision by whether he brings [22:07]
mircea_popescu: or doesn't bring argument. [22:07]
mircea_popescu: THIS is female logic, not "how tall is he" [22:07]
asciilifeform: well, the 'female logic' is in penning a 'why my life sucked' screed to begin with, neh ? [22:08]
mircea_popescu: i meant "female logic" in the sense of "how does she magically wiff out the loser". [22:09]
mircea_popescu: it's not magic loser tells. [22:09]
asciilifeform: losing is also cumulative. [22:09]
mircea_popescu: is pederasty cumulative ? [22:09]
asciilifeform: quite possibly [22:09]
mircea_popescu: then maybe. [22:09]
