asciilifeform: 'The report said that the woman began taking the lab's so-called "standard" drugs, the ones purchased from drug companies as a control in testing. "Farak began to consume the Amherst Lab's standards on a fairly regular basis beginning in late 2004 or early 2005," according to the report.

BingoBoingo: Seriously though, what actual coach even of a kids teams is so opposed to winning that the losing whiner gets to play the big moment.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Yeah. Mostly about fictional "kids" teams. Tis a disney invention. Gotta start the indoctrination early.
asciilifeform: if 'he's a meanie and couldn't possibly prevail' (tm)
mircea_popescu: the whole of their strategy consists of a) these people couldn't possibly prevail, for they're "mean" [synonyms go here] ; b) these people couldn't possibly have prevailed, because a, so it never happened ; c) go back to a.
mircea_popescu: a bunch of fuctarded desk pilots
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform> why couldn't hitler have picked a plausible shitoshi ? << was just discussing this with the gurlz. you gotta appreciate hitler is not a person ; hitler is the fucking google ai, practically.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> e.g., even bock, could play a better one << rando Aussie "wanted it"

asciilifeform: on what principle did they pick a diagnosable, clinical imbecile ?!
asciilifeform: e.g., even bock, could play a better one
asciilifeform: why couldn't hitler have picked a plausible shitoshi ?
asciilifeform: and about 1 in 10 is a uniturd, these will have to be dealt with.
asciilifeform: immediately we learn that a good chunk was already in sks.
phf: asciilifeform: heads up, archive contains a bunch of users without keys, where the foo.asc files content is "SELF-SIGNED PUBLIC KEY NOT FOUND", presumably that's the ones that didn't upload (you'd think they would 404 instead)
phf: i'll do a second crawl, with a slightly cleaned up script, i might've lost a handful at the beginning because of some bugs. it's possible that there's some subpockets i didn't discover.
mircea_popescu: the site is eminently crawleable, page contains a reference to people who interacted with a key AND a selection of random keys.
asciilifeform: phf: did you get these with a crawler?
mircea_popescu is curious if this new quality feed will result in a flood.
asciilifeform: never a proper key
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: anything ever showing up in the usual 8ball can only be a factor of a random turd
a111: Logged on 2016-05-05 01:04 mircea_popescu: right. so the new standard for a rsa key is (e, N, userstring), and everyone's expected to produce THAT.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform no, it's a good idea. will ease the move to proper key format as discussed yest at any rate.
asciilifeform: slicing it up, takes a while.
mircea_popescu: and in short order... cows are expert farmers. because they recognize a farmhouse.
mircea_popescu: but the point remains, there's a difference between unemployable and unemployed.
asciilifeform: i thought bock was posing as a comp sci prof
mircea_popescu: anyway, is it a mere coincidence that some derp posing as a "free journalist" in berlin is the usg point man for the rsa diddling efforts ?
mircea_popescu: in fact, the difference between pothead and esl-scammer is about of the size and substance of the difference between "poor woman" and "whore" in 1700. o, really , you're a good girl ?
danielpbarron: but not in a way that outsiders can verify
asciilifeform: i have a picture - by no means an expert one - of how these folks saw themselves -
punkman: btc/altcoin addresses might also be interesting but a bit more intensive to mine
mircea_popescu: there's this loose group of fucktards who keep spewing nonsense a la "cryptoanarchists===us dope fiends set the foundations for bitcoin" and "silk road mattered economically" and so on and so forth.
punkman: also a lot of keys only went through private messages, so I dunno how many I'll even find
mircea_popescu: (no, not on a sane sort of system, but on random and mostly braindamaged implementations. nevertheless.)
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-05-05#1463352 << ahahaha the traditional 'i am mircea_popescu, a demigod, and all ~you~ lusers oughta be in cock cages, puny mortals' ☝︎
phf: a lot of keybase keys are "Keybase OpenPGP v2.0.47", "Keybase Go 1.0.11 (darwin)" and even some "Keybase OpenPGP JS 0.0.1"
mircea_popescu: and speaking of neurotransmitters : the most reliable sign of opioid intoxication is decreased respiratory rate. a rate less than 12 where intoxication is a possibility (ie, not outright impossible) practically guarantees it's the case.
shinohai: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-05-05#1463343 <<< I'll apply for a grant and research this. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: again : the problem of reacting instead of acting is that you'll necessarily be a muppet.
asciilifeform: how do i actually ~know~ that any of what we do makes a difference outside the skull ?
asciilifeform: i end up in the pigsties (bock, reddit, etc.) when i begin to think that the alternative is really a solipsism.
mircea_popescu: except there's a price! so you pay the price... except... it's ransomed en route... so you... etc
mircea_popescu: for instance : the seclist has a hottie (you think, for absolutely no reason - have you seen her tits ? there are rules for being a hottie, you know ?)
mircea_popescu: so then - C wants the hottie ; but the hottie has a blood price. so C pays. except the price is kidnapped on route, so C pays ransom, except hottie falls ill etc etc
mircea_popescu: now then. the russian bride is a peculiar variant of this scam, where the value transferred is not pecuniary, and thus encounters "troubles".
mircea_popescu: but they all reduce to "more fluff to make it easier for C to swallow the faux identity painted over a difference"
asciilifeform: the thermodynamic 'taboo against the coincidence' is described in, oddly enough, winnie pooh! '"Well," said Pooh, "what I like best," and then he had to stop and think. Because although Eating Honey was a very good thing to do, there was a moment just before you began to eat it which was better than when you were, but he didn't know what it was called.' ☟︎☟︎
mircea_popescu: it has a myriad forms, such as for instance http://btcbase.org/log/2016-05-04#1462441 ☝︎
mircea_popescu: so S sends C you a check ; thereby transferring to you the form of some money ; but not their substance. C proceeds to send S a wire, thereby transferring the form and the substance ; C is out some money.
mircea_popescu: the 419 scam is a particular arbitrage of the knowledge problem. the way it works is that money in modern society consists of a substance and a form. its substance is hinted at by the "aml/kyc" bs, which is a whole other pile of lulz we won't be getting into here. you prefer to refer to it as "X couldn't own rembrandts" internally.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform let us study this problem together, working on the basis of a 419/russian bride scam.
asciilifeform: i'm still at a loss how to properly separate this concept from full-bore solipsism.
mircea_popescu: no, it is not. it is popular among a certain brand of castrato. i don't appreciate castrato opera.
mircea_popescu: the only problem is that even if you put the effort into bowdlerization, you will not obtain a result better than i do ; because the "formal test" is actually devoid of substance.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform that's nonsense. mircea_popescu is a matter of substance, not form. what oyu call full bore is merely an aggregate of stylistic choices i prefer [and i prefer them enough to put above the needs of others, because i simply don't care enough about unknown others], but otherwise it has an infinity of formal homomorphisms, and necessarily an infinity of those could match any arbitrary formal test.
mircea_popescu: how's this a trick.
asciilifeform: well the trick is that it's a heavily censored official organ
mircea_popescu: you know, you can be trained to do this right ; you're intelligent enough. but it's a slog, and it's also a lot like learning to play an instrument.
mircea_popescu: that's a point huh.
mircea_popescu: all analysis seems to point to the whole substance of that thing being based on a very tooth-and-nail neoprotestant stubbornness of collective action.

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-05-05#1463233 << pet informs me that 'there is a lesswrong ~diaspora~, self-identified, in a buncha places, even tumblr' ☝︎
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-05-05#1463243 << quite unlikely. you can't just take a tumour off like a knapsack and get up and go... ☝︎

mircea_popescu: he usual crap] ; it doesn't occur to him that while this is true, the expectation that "all the people" are a sort of given, and polyamory must be applied TO them, as they are, warts and all, as opposed to THEM being applied to it, through an extrudation process which substantially changes THEM, as just so happens to be the absolute historical norm both in theory and in practice - but hey, he needn't know this anymore than th

mircea_popescu: i guess more or less like waking with a headache in a dirty bed with a woman you don't recall meeting.
asciilifeform: when i was a bored, sn0r3d kid, reading usenet, i sometimes read the dope groups
