mod6 | BingoBoingo: alerts were snipped via this patch: http://thebitcoin.foundation/turdmeister-alert-snip.tar.gz -- It's not posted to the btc-dev mailing list yet. This might have been because of issues with messages getting snarffed back in Oct./Nov. | [00:10] |

BingoBoingo | mod6: Saw that. I'm building a different phoundation version for personal use. | [00:11] |
mod6 | it seems that alerts were probably moved out to their own file in later versions. | [00:11] |

mod6 | asciilifeform: when you get a chance, you should do a new submission to the list for the alert & win32 patches. thx in advance. | [00:13] |

bitcoinquestions | mircea_popescu: I did a lot more critical thinking about the blocksize limit and holy shit I feel so dumb for ever thinking Gavin's proposal was a good idea. | [01:34] |
thestringpuller | bitcoinquestions: http://i.imgur.com/38BlfVp.png | [01:35] |
bitcoinquestions | And there's no way Gavin doesn't know exactly what he's doing, right? Like is it possible he convinced himself that it was a good idea? | [01:36] |
bitcoinquestions | It's perfectly tricky though - it does at first seem like a good idea. | [01:36] |
bitcoinquestions | It seems like something he could convince the masses to upgrade to, but I'm assuming the miners know better than to let that happen, correct? | [01:39] |
bitcoinquestions | Like is this a real threat? | [01:39] |
mircea_popescu | it's always possible one convinces himself anything's a good idea. | [01:42] |

bitcoinquestions | anyone here wanna play bitcoin bounce? It's a simple game I made up to build up trust. Person A sends person B .5 BTC then person B ends the game by either running with the money or returning .5 BTC. Person B can continue the game by sending Person A 1 BTC back. Rinse and repeat. | [01:50] |

mircea_popescu | The tale is told, too, of a certain woman who performed an aeolian crepitation at a dinner attended by the witty Monsignieur Dupanloup, Bishop of Orleans, and that when, to cover up her lapse, she began to scrape her feet upon the floor, and to make similar noises, the Bishop said, "Do not trouble to find a rhyme, Madam!" | [01:57] |

danielpbarron | what's up with your friend, napedia? | [02:16] |
napedia | I'm guessing you're talking about Daniel. The answer is that there is an internal split at SNI regarding the block size. Daniel is on the other side of Michael and Pierre. | [02:18] |

mircea_popescu | i needed to translate it. | [03:21] |
ascii_modem | ah for sport. | [03:22] |
mircea_popescu | right. perfectly fine as it is, but what is more tempting than to mess with an accomplished writer's words ? | [03:23] |
mircea_popescu | think of it as, "i translated emacs to lisp" | [03:23] |
mircea_popescu | or w/e, names not important. | [03:23] |
ascii_modem | aha. | [03:23] |
mircea_popescu | i think incidentally, that this is the fundamental impulse driving most bowdlerization. | [03:24] |
mircea_popescu | it is not the "moral" considerations that drive it. the moral considerations are merely the pretext under which the inept hand takes refuge. | [03:24] |
mircea_popescu | derp wants to rewrite X. but how to do it safely ? AH! I KNOW.... | [03:24] |

thestringpuller | you're going to buy another one with the proceeds? | [12:44] |
thestringpuller | lol | [12:44] |
nubbins` | incidentally, i have a 1.125oz Canadian numismatic piece from 2013 that I priced the other day... has increased in value by 50% since last summer o.O | [12:44] |

danielpbarron | http://www.atruechurch.info/masturbation.html The sexual desire is a God given desire (Romans 11:36) and it is not evil in and of itself (Romans 14:14). Moreover, God has made a way for even those who are not married (male or female), or those who are away from their spouse (like a soldier at war), to at least somewhat satisfy the sexual drive via masturbation. It is oppressive to teach that such an act is against the will o | [15:09] |

asciilifeform | no one cares -enough- | [17:27] |
mircea_popescu | so then. | [17:27] |
asciilifeform | local maxima. | [17:27] |
mircea_popescu | so then sit in your locale and be happy | [17:28] |
mircea_popescu | why do you wanna go in locales you don't like the maxima. | [17:28] |
pete_dushenski | seems like alf just "wishes it were better" | [17:28] |
pete_dushenski | and would probably even endeavour to make it so if "only had the time" | [17:28] |
mircea_popescu | every wish is sacred, every wish is good... | [17:28] |
mircea_popescu | but i can see his point. waste of time to go into the guts of windows. | [17:29] |
pete_dushenski | just my reading between the lines | [17:29] |
mircea_popescu | so... don't. | [17:29] |
asciilifeform | mircea_popescu: try to realize that to the extent reverse-engineered drivers exist for various things, the entire undertaking stands - and falls - on w4r3z 'ida pro' as much as on leaked/stolen docs | [17:29] |
mircea_popescu | asciilifeform i understand that part. | [17:29] |
asciilifeform | it's one of the elephants/tortoises on which the entire thing shakily stands. | [17:29] |
asciilifeform | and it's a lame elephant with gangrenous legs. | [17:30] |
pete_dushenski | turtle swimming through the stars... | [17:30] |
mircea_popescu | and you're right in pointing out that ida is probably a thing to rewrite, alongside gpg, etc | [17:30] |
asciilifeform | dwarfs most of the projects we've discussed here in the sheer intrinsic gnarliness. | [17:30] |
mircea_popescu | which is why not muchly discussed. | [17:31] |
asciilifeform | the part i was trying to answer was 'why do you wanna go in locales you don't like the maxima' | [17:31] |
mircea_popescu | it may be the case that the maxima is fine. | [17:32] |
mircea_popescu | ie, that's the best that can be had. | [17:32] |
asciilifeform | winblows is axiomatically not part of any future 'best that can be had' that i'm willing to interoperate with. | [17:33] |
mircea_popescu | yeah why the fucxk did the guy write it in win anywa | [17:33] |
asciilifeform | as a usg appendage, it is for the furnace. | [17:33] |
asciilifeform | why orcs tend to write, think, live, breathe in winblows, is worthy of its own thread. | [17:33] |
asciilifeform | but it is a well-established fact | [17:34] |
asciilifeform | unfortunately. | [17:34] |
asciilifeform | my understanding is that ru, cn folks, by and large, never gave even a basic fuck re: open source whatever, until very recently and still insignificantly | [17:34] |
mircea_popescu | odd. | [17:35] |
asciilifeform | because on no account did anyone there remotely contemplate paying for software | [17:35] |
asciilifeform | or foreign warez being unavailable | [17:35] |
mircea_popescu | but that's not really what's deriving it. | [17:35] |
assbot | [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 31300 @ 0.00039203 = 12.2705 BTC [-] | [17:35] |
mircea_popescu | i suppose the problem is that the us is fully aspirational, whereas the ru world a lot more practical. | [17:35] |
asciilifeform | aha | [17:35] |
pete_dushenski | i think it's the "it worked for the us" thing again | [17:35] |
asciilifeform | cn - same | [17:35] |
mircea_popescu | no dude seriously contemplates telling parents / prospect / parents of prosepct that "he contributes to wikipedia" | [17:35] |
pete_dushenski | same as concrete highways to nowhere | [17:35] |
mircea_popescu | odd that foss got a lot further in latin america. | [17:36] |
mircea_popescu | if it were "it worked for us" it'd be mre latin america and less ru. | [17:36] |
mircea_popescu | not the other way around. | [17:36] |
pete_dushenski | romania too afaik | [17:36] |
asciilifeform | there is also a parallel, historical explanation | [17:36] |
pete_dushenski | likes foss | [17:36] |
asciilifeform | in late-years ussr, university education included unix | [17:36] |
asciilifeform | but all the native pdp clones, their unixen, etc. were sent to the dump | [17:37] |
asciilifeform | when native, and then imported ibm pc compatibles appeard | [17:37] |
mircea_popescu | hm. | [17:37] |
asciilifeform | instantly - msdos and then winblows | [17:37] |
mircea_popescu | odd. | [17:37] |
pete_dushenski | latin america has really only imitated the us to the extent that they've been forced to | [17:38] |
* | nanotube (~nanotube@unaffiliated/nanotube) has joined #bitcoin-assets | [17:38] |
asciilifeform | by the time it became practical to keep a unix box at home in ru, most of the 'candidates' for this were already enjoying the rewards of writing elaborate winblows crapware, etc. | [17:38] |
pete_dushenski | russia has done so because... grocery stores | [17:38] |
mircea_popescu | basically the problem is negative incentives. lots of money to be made from windows holes. | [17:39] |

mircea_popescu | and what were symbolics sources in anyway, cl ? | [17:46] |
asciilifeform | i happen to know with fair degree of certainty that the number one buyer of 'ida' is usg. | [17:46] |
asciilifeform | at least, as of several years ago. | [17:46] |
mircea_popescu | hm. | [17:47] |
asciilifeform | the symbolics sources in the usual sense (of lisp) are largely on 'pirate bay'. but they are quite useless without the chip design. | [17:48] |
mircea_popescu | hey, any foxy force five chicks in the audience : there's a job to bust into the liege offices of a tiny firm and steal source code. catsuit optional. get in touch. | [17:48] |
asciilifeform | as an experiment, i spoke to dave schmidt (actual person, went to his house, bought an ancient machine.) pleasant old man. and asked re: buying docs. he claimed that he was not at liberty to sell, at any price, due to pacts with usg. | [17:49] |

pete_dushenski | cazalla: i concur wholeheartedly | [17:52] |
asciilifeform | foxy force five chicks << the funny part is that very little would change re: the situation of 'ida' if the author published his sources tomorrow. | [17:52] |
asciilifeform | it's in gnarly, stinking cpp, similar to bitcoind... | [17:52] |
mircea_popescu | dude what is this thing, everyone can make sites nobody can keep them online. | [17:52] |
mircea_popescu | asciilifeform listen. wanting for the sake of want is not enough. you gotta want something. | [17:52] |
asciilifeform | ... and want enough. | [17:53] |
asciilifeform | as in, willing to bleed | [17:53] |
asciilifeform | this point is under-appreciated | [17:53] |
asciilifeform | (to any 'symbolics' fans: my investigations suggest - but do not prove! that the rights to the assets were purchased, several years ago, by an nsa shill corp. for somewhere south of 5m usd.) | [17:56] |
mircea_popescu | asciilifeform by the way, for what it's worth you should probably make a complete wish list and publish it. | [17:58] |
mircea_popescu | you never know what the next bundle of leaks includes, or who's a reader. | [17:58] |
mircea_popescu | so far the biggest problem anon suffers from is that it doesn't really know what to get. | [17:58] |
pete_dushenski | "On the 1st of October 2014 we invested ฿1 in the house bank of the top 9 bitcoin gambling investments sites" | [18:00] |
asciilifeform | the truly interesting leaks would be the 'great mysteries' cited in http://www.loper-os.org/?p=1323 - but the boojum lies in the total impossibility of authenticating any such leak. | [18:00] |

pete_dushenski | because who needs a wot amirite ? | [18:01] |
mircea_popescu | asciilifeform again, wanting for the sake of wanting is no gooid. you gotta want something. | [18:01] |
mircea_popescu | pete_dushenski tell em not me :D | [18:01] |
pete_dushenski | lol this cult is the best choir though | [18:01] |
asciilifeform | i'll elaborate re: above: 'directorate xxx was unable to break rsa despite five quadrillion bezzlars blown in five years' is only mildly interesting because directorate yyy might have a functioning voodoo doll from whose arsehole keys drip on demand. etc. | [18:01] |
