mircea_popescu: yeah well. they were a major yahoo sorta thing, years ago. aol-owned outfit.
mircea_popescu: "Today, on February 3rd, 2015, Massively.com ends." << the "internet" in the sense of "world wide web" contracts right on schedule.
mircea_popescu: in other lulz, "Detroitiscrap.com finally shut down. - Niggermania.NET" << apparently there was a detroit lafond.
mircea_popescu: i do. but it is how people are enticed to read code , and think about what they read.
mircea_popescu: it won't get out of it unless and until we start putting it in things.
mircea_popescu: either an ashole or an idiot. but in any case if oyu don't like it you can get stuffed. bitbet pays for miner cartelisation detection and minigame pays for hash research and so on and so forth.)
mircea_popescu: (and for the governance-minded log reader : yeah, the above is literally me in my capacity as ceo making a strategic choice that puts the best interest of shareholders second, after the interest of the republic. it literally subsidizes republican research at the expense of s.mg's bottom line. not only is this common in my practice - i hold it to be both required and unavoidable, and if "that's not how you'd run a corp" you're
mircea_popescu: afaik nobody to date deployed keccak on any sort of large scale anything for any purpose over any duration. unless someone else knows ?
mircea_popescu: ie, it'd be silly to correctly engineer this system in the sense of minimalism, as we're more interested in it testing our tools.
mircea_popescu: there's also a subtle point here, which is : that if we indeed use a otp-and-hash scheme, this in fact puts whatever hash scheme we use to work.
mircea_popescu: anyway : the rsa/otp scheme is also bw-wasting, up to a factor of 2 if no hashing, or otherwise depending on how many hash passes, with 20 it's just 1.05 ie 5% more bw etc.
mircea_popescu: worth checking this, if you have an actual c implementation anywhere.
mircea_popescu: yeah there are some advantages. but half second is too much to delay a game message for encryption, and you won't be able to fit two passes in .5 s
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you understand that if you never hash them, you might as well not use them at all and simply rsa the actual message back and forth. as appealing as the idea is in theory, it's not workable in practice because even with a game as relaxed as eulora, it'll still be too laggy.
mircea_popescu: PeterL reusing an otp straight makes bothering with the whole scheme kinda pointless ; hashing an old otp to generate a new otp is perhaps dubious, but in widespread use. (it's more or less what a "deterministic" wallet is, for instance)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yeah, gotta make sure one expropriates the socialists in the proper manner such is done. ie, as they themselves do it.
mircea_popescu: the principle is fundamental to any such activity. the usg will obviously still owe on all its obligations, such as social security. it will however not have any right to perceive any income. and anyone involved is personally responsible - with their own fat, personally - of the exact execution of this.
mircea_popescu: anyway, by the workings of that thing, if you took out a loan + mortgage to buy a house ; the house did go on to be owned by X, but you kept the mortgage.
mircea_popescu: otherwise, bucharest scarcely accounted for a fifth of the country's real estate ; and most of it was shit anyway when compared with the 3-5 century old stuff in transylvania.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform judging by the fact that 99% of it is bucharest, it's entirely certain they were picked by personal invidy.
mircea_popescu: perhaps notable for the device : a) the ~rights~ without any encumberances of real estate named goes on to new owner ; b) anyone currently living there is now renting from new owner, no matter what title they thought they had ; c) anyone fucking with this gets 10 years hard labour.
mircea_popescu: they also have a rule about bombing rogue states that steal $5bn out of people's wealth to pay cronies.
mircea_popescu: from which we infer shitbags lose and phuctor > twitter.
mircea_popescu: in other lulz : hano bock (the deceitful shitbag) drives slightly less traffic via his twitter / t.co/bcrxVsVoe5 than phuctor does via its faq page.
mircea_popescu: " has definitely been awake since i wrote to him (he has new material on his site)" << i took this to mean site was ded previously ?
mircea_popescu: because we collectively lost our shit hiar while making it and kept laughing convulsively for many hours.
mircea_popescu: in other news, i'm somewhat puzzled that NOBODY said a single word re new trilema header.
mircea_popescu: yes, obviously the sputniks made a plane that could fly for 1/100 the "cost".
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the pretence that "it's not because we're poor, it's because of the sandbugs" is ENTIRELY rural belle ego protection and naught else.
mircea_popescu: also endemic problems with procurement. weren't famblies sending silly string over because dod can't afford ?
mircea_popescu: ie, "appearance in according to greater russian code" ? :P
mircea_popescu: when doing degree of magnitude evaluation we do degree of magnitude.
mircea_popescu: add in all the various tax and "education" easements + medical care etc.
mircea_popescu: it's literally, "fail" read out by the wodewick roman guy
mircea_popescu: seems the us is pretty ripe for giving the people a voice etc.
mircea_popescu: sooo, is lybia going to bomb the us now, to put obama in a cage, and hang himlater, while "giving a chance to democracy" in that country ?
mircea_popescu: funny thing being, at the time i was running a sort of digg (well, much better, but anyway) in romanian, and people could actually cash out, via btc. a few did, not massive sums at the time, but massive sums in btc.
mircea_popescu: according to documents seen by mp, the guardian publishes anything for a double hamburger.
mircea_popescu: aww, you don't take the agitprop at face value, terrorist ?
mircea_popescu: hm apparently that doesn;t exist in stock gpg. my bad.
mircea_popescu: well lemme prototype this quick see if what i have in mind works.
mircea_popescu: and the pile itself could just be put through gpg --armor, afaik you don't HAVE TO encrypt. i think ?
mircea_popescu: {This blob is so and so : [then large pile of stuff]}signed
mircea_popescu: ok. and i recall they were getting a header or is this something else ?
mircea_popescu: im still lost on "one could not tell what thing it contained".
mircea_popescu: back when noobs still had dust, so his ~100 btc or w/e it was made a huge splash in the "community".
mircea_popescu: iirc that dude ran off with something or the other later
