asciilifeform: how, one wonders, did they tout the 'master key over bluetooth' or wtf is in there.
asciilifeform: 'The two men apparently used a laptop and pirated software to start the vehicles and take off. HPD said the vehicles made it into Mexico. ... HPD said it's nearly impossible to stop this high-tech crime especially if someone else has the same pirated software.'
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: a certain amount of rng load can be moved to server end (rekeying on that end, and ciphers new session key to pubkey of client, which was presumably generated at his leisure and is adequately entropic)
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: cipher strength is now a quantifiable, scalar no less ?!
asciilifeform: unfortunately crypto schemes are not really experimentally testable on 'human' timescales - in the sense that even the dumbest algo appears to 'work great!111' until one day, likely quietly, it does not.
asciilifeform brb, food, will come back to this thread.
asciilifeform: that'd be more or less standard gpg mechanism.
asciilifeform: the one sticking point may be entropy starvation on certain systems (it is my understanding that a number of eulora players are stuck on winblowz)
asciilifeform: not really, given that mircea_popescu already solved this problem in his article by describing 'otp pool'
asciilifeform: and the constraints of the built & runtime.
asciilifeform: diana_coman will be able to describe necessaries, e.g., bit rate.
asciilifeform: soooo, http://trilema.com/2016/eulora-forward-looking-statement-august-2016 << 'From a technical perspective, the RSA migration is intended to work on the following scheme : RSA privkey is generated correctly ; this key and the server's key are used to pass OTPs between client and server' is fundamentally Right Thing.
asciilifeform: most usa 'expats' are as close to escaping truly as i am to the moon by jumping with all my might.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: these are literally inexhaustible.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: as pioneered by elaine shi et al.
asciilifeform: killing, with honest and purposeful hand - yes. 'embrace & extinguish' ? plenty.
asciilifeform: i walked past the fed bldg in washington not long ago, and did not notice a neon sign asking for noobs to go in.
asciilifeform: the only piece that 'compulsively welcomes noobs' is the ablative shield.
asciilifeform: 'у големов нет проблемов' (tm) (r) (pelevin)
asciilifeform: r if you just extrapolate. It eventually must fall, as the burden of forking away is not that large...'
asciilifeform: '...What people are failing to understand about cryotocurrencies is that insofar as there is friction entailed in forking away we will see some government-type behavior from dev teams. We need to understand both that this will always happen... The trick as an investor is to not get spooked during that period where the pressure is building but still not big enough to overcome the friction. Where it looks like the wall will hold foreve
asciilifeform: '...when Gavin was leading development it seemed like there was no reason to panic or rock the boat. He's reasonable and not a member of the perfectly decentralized everyone-runs-a-full-node-at-home-in-moms-basement-on-bare-metal fairy tale woo-woo cult.'
asciilifeform: 'The July 2016 estimate was not part of the agreement, and certainly not a deadline. It was (at the time) a reasonable expectation based on the agreement terms. Speaking only for myself, I made the promise with sincerity, and intend to uphold it best I can (despite the almost immediate violation by one of the parties).' << can anyone translate this to human language ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i'd bet that the iron is at least partly 'red herring', and you need some enzyme that magicks the absorption
asciilifeform: if adlai or PeterL recall the paper, plx link.
asciilifeform: and they had an identifiable mutation.
asciilifeform: where two sets of people were fed dopaminergic (some amphetamine or other) and then tortured with puzzles, etc. subjectively both pools 'liked', but only one set actually outscored
asciilifeform: there was actually an interesting experiment, one of the VERY few useful 'human genetic sequence' finds i know of,
asciilifeform: who the fuck even knows how much individual variation is accounted for by 'different uptake of x'
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: would be interesting to learn why the chicken liver worx
asciilifeform: fed it the very same iron pill, to substantial effect.
