pankkake: CACert allows you to authenticate with a browser certificate, though. I don't know any other website allowing it
KRS-: One exception was the Florida Turnpike Enterprise (a private business implementation of a government roadway function to accept tolls and what not)..they had a firm grasp on I.T. security from their payment processor to their wireless roadway nodes..I was very impressed.
pankkake: but the auth cookie thing is interesting. it wouldn't be so hard to write a more secure implementation that most of what's out there
pankkake: the session cookie isn't kept. if you close the browser, it's removed, etc.
pankkake: no, it doesn't change, that's the point
KRS-: Load balanced web servers would associate that cookie to one particular web server, if the load balancer stategy isn't carefully chosen (if possible) when the load balancer shifts traffic the cookie could become invalid beecause another web server doesn't know about the cookie.
pankkake: mircea_popescu: most websites, and almost all frameworks I've seen, only use a cookie that isn't refreshed, and is either left to expire stupidly, or never expiring
mircea_popescu: you know, all that grammar truffles doesn't know.
nubbins`: anyway, people were much less impressed with my wa'alaykum salaam when it became clear that i didn't need to buy a rug
mircea_popescu: wouldn't the best practice be, that upon user registration you generate a user salt and a nonce, send these as a hashed cookie,
mircea_popescu: also in practice, i don't use vinegar, like the germans, i use wine, something red (depicted above, merlot/pinot noir from recas)
cazalla: i don't know any aussies that buy a family deal from maccas
mircea_popescu: for one thing, the clannish groups don't actually need the large constructs like the alienated individuals do.
mircea_popescu: i woudln't call this collectivism tho.
mircea_popescu: ownership is a muddled thing anyway. so you own your house. you can't set it on fire. you can't dig a hole in the livingroom. etc.
mircea_popescu: the original observation, however, to wit that politics has very quickly diminishing marginal returns, and in general you don't need more than 100 men involved in it in any case, is sound.
mircea_popescu: yes, but apparently you won't have classes, and be happy inferiors of some selected caste of masters.
mircea_popescu: they may be experts, but they aren't you.
mircea_popescu: yet people don't generally want to nor generally can be renaissance complete personalities.
mircea_popescu: i don't have a fully polished, drop-in alternative in any sense.
mircea_popescu: because your model fundamentally doesn't work, and so they're all stuck
mircea_popescu: they won't stauy explicit and clear
decimation: Well, at least my "competent bank" would be better than current gov't and banks because the liabilities would be explicit and clear
mircea_popescu: well... that's fine but it doesn't actually work.
mircea_popescu: if you want to cut wood and feed stoves, "town heating services" aren't useful to you.
mircea_popescu: herbijudlestoids yes. if you want to do all the work, you don't need someone to do the work for a group of "you".
mircea_popescu: decimation you want sane business models at all times. this one you're contemplating proposes to make 10 dollar steaks out of nine meat. that leftover dollar isn't enough to hire anything but mcdonalds staff. which won't make what you want.
mircea_popescu: that's my point. if he wants a self-service thing he doesn't need the bank to anything.
decimation: Well, you certainly wouldn't find anyone qualified working for banks today. He/she would have to be grown from scratch somehow.
mircea_popescu: herbijudlestoids i just mean that if you want to dd on your own you can't possibly need a bank for any purpose.
decimation: MP, as in you won't be able to find anyone who is qualified to make these kinds of subjective creditworthiness judgements?
mircea_popescu: you still won't be able to hire.
decimation: "why don't my checking account pay interest?" etc
decimation: the hilarious thing is that the fiat gov't would think they have leverage over you
mircea_popescu: tell me you wouldn't use it.
mircea_popescu: i don't need a weakling.
mircea_popescu: it doesn't seem like anything, tbh.
Duffer1: i haven't been able to read the altcoin forums since coingen came out
mircea_popescu: put a dint in the bint like you don't care...
Vexual: prolly not cuba so you can't have fun if you get busted out by someone mp sent
Vexual: verily don't listen to me tho
mircea_popescu: fucktards with their "let's make the world fair" as if it weren't managed to bomb us all the fucking way to the stone age.
mircea_popescu: it doesn't ease. it aggravates.
mircea_popescu: and so... no. they don't have the resources to anytihng.
Apocalyptic: i really don't see HK or Russia extradite a drug marketplace owner
mircea_popescu: if you can't do that, you've got little business doing it in the first place.
mircea_popescu: 2. most jurisdictions couldn't give less of a shit about the us and its problems.
Apocalyptic: <herbijudlestoids> i still really cant believe the security behind silk road was so fucken poor // then you won't believe this
mircea_popescu: one of the things i enjoy most about bitcoin is all the shit people don't know. ot
gribble: Error: User doesn't exist in the Rating or GPG databases. User must be GPG-registered to receive ratings.
benkay: well like i said i don't think i even get a say
benkay: mircea_popescu: you're welcome to assume jurov's debt to me. i don't think i even get a say.
jurov: gribble why won't you respond in pm?
benkay: i can't deal with either of you right now :(
jurov: don't provocate, or i'll sell the contract to mircea
mircea_popescu: and it didn't even cost me that much btc
benkay: dah do'h no it only paid out if bs&t didn't have a credit event
benkay: so MP how did PPTAPR/MAY work out for you? you underwrote what i understand to be insurance against BS&T and I imagine sold it for more than the .00128 face value?
jurov: which isn't actually used for anything
mircea_popescu: !t m x.eur
pankkake: fucking fuck, "Don't access Project Gutenberg from hosted servers."
pankkake: MPOE-PR didn't take my bait :(
mircea_popescu: or weren't you really referring to what ThickAsThieves was saying ?
mircea_popescu: in this sense people don't use ebay because people sending them 0.0000000000000000000000000001% of all usd won't make them significantly richer
pankkake: but even if you have bitcents, people losing bitcents won't make you significantly richer
mircea_popescu: <pankkake> the amounts propably won't be enough for the cost << this is kind-of the birth of dragons.
kleeck: because that's important. You don't really mean anything unless you bitbet it.
pankkake: the amounts propably won't be enough for the cost
kleeck: Don't link me that shiti.
deadweasel: that guy can't get farther from her.
kleeck: She wasn't getting through the gate with less than 6.
mircea_popescu: don't even want to think about what her skin looked like
kleeck: Wasn't that a confirmed paid prostitute?
pankkake: I can't find any new block…
mircea_popescu: lewicki apparently the miners don't wanna sell yet.
nubbins`: i'm going to convince tat that he needs t-shirts for all

lippoper: Can't go fishing without bait
nubbins`: wait, isn't that assbot?
nubbins`: what, we can't just pick random mots and use them dans a phrase?!
mircea_popescu: how are the girls supposed to live if you don't pay ?
nubbins`: i think most people doing that don't have fun
mircea_popescu: well, my next question was, ever been with a hooker you didn't mind paying.
Namworld: Couldn't they have just changed the y for an i? Monopoli
asciilifeform: http://www.therpgsite.com/showthread.php?t=14095
mircea_popescu: it wouldn't even have to go that far. just, you know... england beat spain into the dirt by using privateers.
mircea_popescu: well it just goes to show i don't realy master that space :)
mircea_popescu: and it doesn't seem he has much dough left, either.
mircea_popescu: pumper answer ? "o we had an [unannounced] open beta" but srsly, we don't mean to do any harm"
mircea_popescu: you saw him didn't you!
mircea_popescu: who knew all it took was not premining. certainly all the 5464598769485 derps in the subforum there hadn't figured it out, their premine is like their holy grail
pankkake: I've read a designer blog or something, yeah… I don't envy them
mircea_popescu: pankkake it's a step up from designerhell's commonplace "i can't pay you but you should do it for fun anyway".
pankkake: "I can't pay you, but would you like some shares of my facebook for dogs website?"
mircea_popescu: well and he doesn't know the timestamp ?
asciilifeform: but worlds with mass chumpcasting don't produce caesars.
asciilifeform: no reason to suppose it wasn't dictated.

nubbins`: you might want to remind them that you can't stop them from doing so, though!
mircea_popescu: you won't be able to wash it off in a river.
