asciilifeform: actually simpler than you think. most of the microfilm in american libs was supplied from just a few reproduction houses, and they in turn, from the orig publisher
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform lol, yeah, maybe someone cut a hole in that day's edition all over the world. suddenly we have a whole mystery novel on our hands
mircea_popescu: then the nazis took the other tack - gave exactly nothing while goebbels outshrewed the shrews in nagging, and as a result the whole fucking thing came apart.
mircea_popescu: "Quickness to take insult and feel honor insulted is no longer considered the only or even the proper manner in which a nation

mircea_popescu: aite, ima look into this later a bit.

shinohai: Now that I am addicted to writing Qntra stuff, I can't find a single thing to write about today.
gribble: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Yomi | Yomi is a Japanese term meaning "Knowing the mind of the opponent", and is essentially an intangible asset required in fighting games. It's the ability to know ...
mircea_popescu: he always used the capital A tho, i reclal this.
mircea_popescu: he should be a 2, from 2014. apparently is not ? wtf. trinque any idea ?
Apocalyptic: somehow the WoT split from b-a must have been messed up
mircea_popescu: i thoughjt so, but the machine disagrees. were you using a different capitalisation ?
Apocalyptic: I am very well in the WoT, I was even a lord at some point
Apocalyptic: dude you rated me already, a long time ago
Apocalyptic: actually, since you have an easily explicitly computable homomorphism between Z/pqZ and Z/pZ x Z/qZ, solving a square root in Z/NZ is as easy as solving it in Z/pZ for each prime factor p of N
mircea_popescu: a was it
mircea_popescu: i'm just saying, yes daughters are daughters, but they live in the same house and if one's a slut...
mircea_popescu: 35 mod 4 = 3. we don't know the p, but if you were given to guess, it wouldn't be such a crazy guess to guess it also is.
Apocalyptic: (back to the Z/pZ case, if p = 3 (mod 4), the square root of c is simply c^((p+1)/4), so just a simple exponentiation)
Apocalyptic: it wasn't quite obvious that the bold nickname is in fact a link, I think it would help to have the date with the link before the name like in the b-a log
mircea_popescu: and yes, it's practically lost, but i was keeping it more on a math level. possibly should put it as comment there.
Apocalyptic: "In practice, however, it is a lot cheaper to pick a prime exponent, than to check and make sure the exponent shares no factors with N or phi(N)" is there even something checking that e is coprime to N ? this would mean that e is necessarily a multiple of p or q, a case you would be extremely unlucky to get, in the somehow dubious case your e is larger than any of those prime. In the more usual case w
Apocalyptic: Re "However, e must be coprimeiii with phi(N), because otherwise messages encrypted can no longer be singularily decrypted (ie, the decryption process allows multiple ambiguous solutions)" it's not even that there are multiple solutions, but afaik there is no algo with a reasonable complexity to even recover them, since this implies computing an n-th root in Z/NZ
Apocalyptic: asciilifeform: re e == 1, I was going to refer to the infamous salt commit and madduck, but I get it has already been discussed since http://btcbase.org/log-search?q=madduck yields a result
asciilifeform: i oughta add a whole page for these..
asciilifeform: i'll take a look
mircea_popescu: if i ever write a novel about russians, fucking and lying it will be titled exactly that. Tretyi Zhurnalist, Dama.
mircea_popescu: ALWAYS doing anything is a rng leak.
phf: i was just marveling at the idea that you can you bludgeon and scalpel from the same cause, but always going for the second one reveals something about a thought process
mircea_popescu: anyway, i asked specifically to point out to you what a good job of it you're doing, expecting as per http://btcbase.org/log/2016-04-23#1456525 that you wouldn't know. nothing more. ☝︎
phf: that is a very precise definition of white knight
mircea_popescu: phf that is correct, nevertheless, only little bitches shy from pain. girl can learn to move into the lash within a few months. writer should be fucking born with it.
mircea_popescu: (traditionally, ʎ is very much a spanish sound, if you look at a map it's pretty much latin america)
BingoBoingo: phf: Being the gentle on in TMSR is a phase most people grow out of.
mircea_popescu: phf anyone ever told you what a white knight you are ?
mircea_popescu: i can't begin to tell you how many lashes i distributed to innocent slave girls that wanted to start with a summary, a pile of hedges, some insurance, contextualization and what the fuck now.
mircea_popescu: this habit of "introduction" and "setting" and "explaining" and generally being a borderline sleeve neurotic tard is what sinks most writers that ever had a prayer. for the love of fuck - it's EXACTLY like talking to the police. NEVER say anything. not ever. fuck the intro - if the reader can't figure one out that works for him, he has no business reading.
mircea_popescu: bish, i've not as much as held a book in a decade.
mircea_popescu: veliky hamster lol. "this cover made by a graphical artist whose distinction is that the text is somewhat funny."
phf: i could through a handful of pages before giving up, the book cover is just obnoxious
mircea_popescu: and when i say "he codes well", what i mean is of the following type : yes he nearly moved the site before building the link bridge. BUT! that is easily fixed. what is not easily fixed is that everyone else would have made a link bridge that treated /gpgkey/xxx correctly, but left /stat hanging. he didn't, his /stat redirects correctly also.
mircea_popescu: is there a link ?
asciilifeform: ACHTUNG mircea_popescu et al! nosuchlabs.com now points to a www. phuctor now at phuctor.nosuchlabs.com .
mircea_popescu: ya but were only a few dozen
asciilifeform: a while back.

mircea_popescu: i suppose there's a DOUBLEWORD to describe this particular flavour of sigint rite ?
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: the useful subset is a few gb
mircea_popescu: by no means undoable. a dump of github ssh keys as is will be useful.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: quite a bit.
mircea_popescu: incidentally, anyone have a clue wtf dmacc.net is ?
mircea_popescu: iirc there was a dump at some point
mircea_popescu: http://nosuchlabs.com/gpgkey/0D9057DA7AEE12C725AA9408D47F4FFC3769BEF7891A0F9C0A9F38420C5C08AB << a look, PGP Corporation Update Signing Key; PGP Corporation Update Signing Key <update-key@pgp.com>; with the 32 bit mirroring thing. we're by now in last year's territory amirte ? i recall seeing this.
mircea_popescu: it's a matter of audience. the people who think gavin is a person don't grok all this ; the rest would be counter-affected.
asciilifeform: i'm a little surprised nobody yet packaged my and your key with, e.g., gavin's
mircea_popescu: oh, you meak make a chimera ?
mircea_popescu: well no, given keys A and B, getting B's modulus to appear on A requires one of the two to collaborate
phf: it's not worth it, it's easy to get them to go to a bathroom with you then deliver that punchline
phf: when i was out last saturday "on the town", every other girl was from ohio, indiana, illinois. it turned into a game at some point. team ohio won
asciilifeform: never was there such a flea.

phf: there's a cool book about american weirdo prank culture of the mid 80s early 90s, http://www.amazon.com/Pranks-RE-Search-No-11/dp/0965046982 it's in the tradition of american weird (john waters, church of satan, boyd rice, that kind of crowd)
mircea_popescu: "According to Servin, the Yes Men concept initially sprang from their creation of a fake website spoofing the World Trade Organization. To the surprise of Servin and Vamos, many believed the site to be authentic, and the two were consequently contacted to speak at a conference in Austria. Since this time, the Yes Men have continued performing large-scale hoaxes, in what they describe as a collaborative effort with journalists
mircea_popescu: lms, they impersonate entities that they dislike, a practice that they call "identity correction". The Yes Men operate under the mission statement that lies can expose truth. They create and maintain fake websites similar to ones they intend to spoof, which have led to numerous interview, conference, and TV talk show invitations. They espouse the belief that corporations and governmental organizations often act in dehumanizin
mircea_popescu: The Yes Men are a culture jamming activist duo and network of supporters created by Jacques Servin and Igor Vamos.[1] Through actions of tactical media,[citation needed] the Yes Men primarily aim to raise awareness about what they consider problematic social and political issues. To date, the duo has produced three films: The Yes Men (2003), The Yes Men Fix the World (2009)[1] and The Yes Men Are Revolting (2014). In these fi

mircea_popescu: past year’s experiences, plan the coming year’s work and elect a Leadership Committee to apply what we’ve decided. Like a coop, we pay dues, buy equipment and then we all use that equipment as we need to for websites, email, email lists, and just about everything else we do on the Internet.
