mircea_popescu: "His notariety began seven years ago when he was arrested at a video game convention in Boston and accused of pirating $6 million in game code that was derived from a system used to train CIA agents for combat. May agreed to a Boston judge’s offer for pretrial probation in exchange for a dismissal of his case." << equivalency degree spelling aside, check out this guy!
mircea_popescu: anyway, sure there may be one or two 16yo http://trilema.com/2013/whore-strat/ 's out there. but there's well over 100k dweebs worth over 1mn in paper. out of the money they waste on rent you can buy a farm in the transvaal and enjoy free weekly gangbangs for the rest of your life.
sarah443: Yeah, some chemical confidence may help them too
mircea_popescu: everyone's easy to bond with if you don't think you're about anything else than bonding.
sarah443: mircea_popescu: a lot of them, are hard to 'bond' with
mircea_popescu: the time for that is in divorce court.
mircea_popescu: the key elements are a) high net worth dweebs, not the sorta guys you meet at raves and b) utter abjection, none of that "i'm a person and i have rights" bullcrap.
trinque: I'm just saying, similar word salad seems to have swallowed Framedragger whole
sarah443: Guess im the idiot
mircea_popescu: sarah443 yes, but you did it stupidly. as marylin points out : it tastes the same when it comes out of a multi-mn cock.
sarah443: Haha :) Ive done that for free
mircea_popescu: sarah443 it should tell you this : they're idiots. gotta do the work.
phf: lobbes: ty, i'm messing with it, i added proper romanization for cyrillic, since it comes up so much. e.g. комсомольская правда! becomes "komsomol'skaja pravda!"
mircea_popescu: it's not a bad plan, go to SF for a week, join all the events, from bdsm munches to apple hackathon day, and just doe eye one or two dweebs per. then suck cock like your life depends on it, and then get married.
sarah443: Most of my friends in Cali are trying to leave though so that should tell me something
mircea_popescu: you would be, yes. ever read the camwhore article ?
phf: sarah443: you haven't been in the valley have you
trinque: sarah443: you should just go strip in the valley, marry some startup cuck, end up with half his shares in nothing. ah nevermind.
lobbes: btw phf I'm digging the unicode hovers in btcbase
sarah443: Its incredible the range of answers I get on that ;)
mircea_popescu: sarah443 terrible.
danielpbarron: maybe these work: http://archive.is/hIwqY aaand the first one dun wanna archive so .. http://wotpaste.cascadianhacker.com/pastes/IwVY2/?raw=true
sarah443: Gov loves the later, sometimes both
mircea_popescu: brings us right back to http://trilema.com/2017/the-universal-plan-for-wealth/
sarah443: Spend X a year keeping someone locked up, or bleed them dry of everything they own...
sarah443: Yeah, crimes of this nature they want restitution not jail.
mircea_popescu: if they can steal it back however, you're fucked.
mircea_popescu: anyway, it all revolves on whether they can steal the money back or not. if they can't, they're on their knees begging. with some limited negotiation ability can get to keep a third or so and walk.
sarah443: Wow, that guy was part of this chat?
sarah443: I hate the site and interface though
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo "This leaves the question who ha a motive very open." << This leaves the question of who had a motive very open.
sarah443: I like twitters delivery, short blips + pic/video
a111: Logged on 2016-09-08 00:54 shinohai: Also fixed Qntra bot on twitter until next time it breaks
lobbes: oh hey, I think that was shinohai >> http://btcbase.org/log/2016-09-08#1536724 ☝︎
mircea_popescu: holy shit look at that. wtf, twitter's going to the dogs, they've not banned BingoBoingo ?!
sarah443: Oh, was that a different qntra?
mircea_popescu: qntra has a twitter feed ?!
sarah443: I like the twitter feed
mircea_popescu: "i wish there were someone paying for what i want to do" is a terrible way to waste a life.
danielpbarron: the mtw guy who handled the money for him is currently in huge legal trouble, something about stealing millions of USD from dell computers i think
sarah443: I wish I had a company paying me to buy that stuff for research, that would be a fun job :)
sarah443: The 0day market is very interesting too
mircea_popescu: i did not necessarily agree with him, but that dun make his words go away
danielpbarron: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-04-10#1795309 << l0de radio hour, i called in and donated 0.054 via deedbot which was 800 USD at the time, which has become a sort of meme on his show now ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2015-08-13 16:38 asciilifeform: the point i was trying to make is that: i hypothesize that the '0day market' consists very largely of folks who are sitting on 0day and not 'marketing' at all
mircea_popescu: sarah443 that's unfortunate, very bright minds were on the record complainign there's no good market for sleuthing for fundamental reasons. like http://btcbase.org/log/2015-08-13#1237185 ☝︎
sarah443: Yea that would be a good gig, writing interesting short but digestible articles.
mircea_popescu: there's a fundamental difference between "i am sarah and i have a kid to feed" and "i am sarah, and i can put your words before 1mn social media nobodies" or "i'm publish weekly in every porn mag there is" or whatever.
sarah443: My skills are more in sleuthing than writing
mircea_popescu: yes, but your problem is that if you don't build either your skill or your platform, you will get absolutely nowhere.
sarah443: They dont see the mainstream media or any other outlet so they would go undocumented otherwise
sarah443: I follow little niche stories and try to keep the respective communities up to date on the happenings.
sarah443: Can get lost for hours looking through stuff sometimes.
mircea_popescu: but i do get court report summaries and all sorts of other things.
sarah443: Same, don't have cable anymore, got to the point where I didn't even use it.
mircea_popescu: i don't really watch tv.
sarah443: Its pretty obvious how little they know but try to make people think they do.
sarah443: The police are a joke, if you have ever seen that show 'First 48'
mircea_popescu: half the ones with 0 planning also make the cut.
mircea_popescu: eh. the quality of police work has so terribly degraded in the past half century, if anyone does ANY PLANNING AT ALL it's a murder that'll never get solved. ☟︎
sarah443: You see those shows and think, "oh, I wouldnt screw that up"
sarah443: Its almost like planning the perfect murder lol
sarah443: Yeah amazing how others repeat the mistakes the previous iteration.
mircea_popescu: spooked my foot, when we looked through the smoldering pile left after that idiot ross, it came to light ~nobody was using rsa.
sarah443: I folllow deepdotweb on twitter and they have some good articles sometimes
sarah443: Well, its more so the government cracking down and people get spooked I suppose
mircea_popescu: nobody's forcing anything anywhere ; the "darknet" bla bla is "being forced underground" in the exact sense the previous emo generation was "being forced into the closet".
sarah443: Was typically way better
sarah443: Some of the research they did on them was pretty interesting, like quality of drugs for example
lobbes: not much there, I reckon. usg honeypots
sarah443: The entire darknet market thing was something I really wanted to delv into
mircea_popescu: it doesn't help your cause that online media is just about dead.
sarah443: Working with publishers, but I was thinking about maybe doing web editorials. I like the quick turn around time on that media and distribution
mircea_popescu: i'm an extremist after all. gotta keep up the standards.
mircea_popescu: but do you then have a journalistic platform, like, working relationships with many/most publishers ?
sarah443: In the political communities
sarah443: Well theres movements taking place that eventually will become bigger deals
mircea_popescu: sure, arcana is the noun of arcane.
sarah443: I was thinking arcane :)
mircea_popescu: anyway, if you don't understand computers, how would you "be there" "before anything happens" ?
mircea_popescu: well, technically arcana denotes finnicky, complicated and not directly obvious points.
sarah443: But I don't want to just look over past things and try to figure things out, I want to be there before anything happens
sarah443: The social justice hackers, that was a bad example
mircea_popescu: this is a very... perception-driven approach to the events.
sarah443: Remember back during the anon/lulzsec days?
sarah443: mircea_popescu: It depends on the attack
ckang: the lengths they go through to counterfeit is pretty wild
mircea_popescu: sarah443 ok, and it's a living, tenuous and marginal as it may be, buy shit in china resell it in the states. but how's this relate to website defacing ?
sarah443: There are whole portions of the internet that are pretty much China only. ecommerce wise.
ckang: having owned the fake & original you could barely tell the difference
a111: Logged on 2017-07-13 18:42 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform incidentally : the pineapple hacking device is this chinese blade i bought on a lark. turns out it's the best steel i own / have seen in a long while.
ckang: it was 1/10th the price of the original
sarah443: China is incredible at some of the stuff they do with that
sarah443: but more so boots on the ground for the industry
sarah443: I want to be in these groups, not as law enforcement.
sarah443: Well say a site is hacked, the group leaves their tag somewhere.
sarah443: If that makes sense?
mircea_popescu: ckang structure determines content and all that. once you try to go in the "i can't believe" bla bla format, you'll be producing the repsective content.
sarah443: They actually use bots to troll people into talking with them and chat analysis
ckang: ive only seen a few eps though, not sure how they actually do it
