binaryatrocity: by signing
a message with your PGP key, thus linking hte accounts
binaryatrocity: I understand what you're saying, Keybase could not exist and you could still do the same process of "proofs", signing
a message and positing it to Twitter saying this is me achieves the same thing
mircea_popescu: today in b-
a news : all questions are the same question!
mircea_popescu: <ascii_field> or, if american forgery, why not crank out
a pgp to sign with
HeySteve: mike_c, any idea why they don't implement
a gribble/assbot verification system to solve the problem?
mircea_popescu: actually mike has it. this is i agree the best avenue to approach the problem. this is what's "evil", binaryatrocity : that in the pursuit of
a fundamentally, inescapably false bit of fiction, you are asked to forfeit your actual life.
mike_c: if it were
a problem, if anyone cared about keybase
mircea_popescu: the reasonable assumption is
a beast that wasn't yet born.
mircea_popescu: last fucking thing
a spammer wants is the attention of intelligent people.
ascii_field: or, if american forgery, why not crank out
a pgp to sign with
mircea_popescu: gee, i dunno. the fact they exist, as opposed to squirming in
a lake full of its own guts ?
ascii_field: idk, when i link article in en there, it brings in
a deluge of burned bandwidth
mircea_popescu: aye. just for my own amusement, i had
a subreddit created ; and seeded it with
a coupla posts.
ascii_field: 'i'm on arsebook, but i have
a brain!' 'good work, now arsebook can say, 'some of our users have brains!'' lubing up the chumpatronic intake hopper.
davout: punkman: yeah sure, but what's usually referred to by SHA256 is SHA2 with
a 256 bit length
mircea_popescu: let me guess alfie, you mistook
a new-ish chevy for jaguar.
binaryatrocity: Yes i am currently reading them. I also have
a job to do, was hoping for
a succinct answer, oh well, I'll read at my leisure. Thank you.
mircea_popescu: maybe
a good move is ben_vulpes recent article on cascadian hacker.
mircea_popescu: binaryatrocity it's not that simple. that's just
a symptom. keybase is bad because is made by the enemy, to suit the agenda of the enemy. the compromise key is just
a symptom of this fundamental allignment with evil.
ascii_field: my office window faces
a parking lot. there is
a 'welfar' office nearly.
a couple just parked, carrying out
a cradle with
a kid. they parked...
a brand new 'jaguar'.
binaryatrocity: It stores the associations in
a 'familiar' and accessible manner
mircea_popescu: pushing
a point, sending an ack to
a http server is pretty much the same as sending an ack to any other
http server.
binaryatrocity: I see your point, the public-facing info can be useful though, sure there might be no real tangible benefit to tying your github to your gpg key that you couldn't achieve in
a different manner, but it does provide
a clean interface
mircea_popescu: but hanging out / using people who do
a bad thing, even if they're not doing it to you, is dubious.
binaryatrocity: but handing over your private key is optional, I clearly understand why relinquishing access to your private key is
a bad idea
binaryatrocity: Obviously popping your private key into your browser is asking for
a bad-time, but in the same vein as pgp.mit.edu is used, it's basically teh same functionality?
mircea_popescu: sorta like hanging out at the rape club is
a-ok because you're only getting drinks anyway.
binaryatrocity: I'm not trusting them with my private key, it's just
a sane profile to store the public and link me to domains etc i might control?
assbot: Logged on 13-10-2015 14:06:35; asciilifeform: binaryatrocity: and consider moving away from keybase. generate
a civilized key on your own hardware, sign it with the old, and quit sharing private key with the enemy.
mircea_popescu:
a treatment. It's not all the doctors' fault; but that's the system.
mircea_popescu: "Pharma is the backbone of medicine, because, unfortuantely, medicine is about treatment, not prevention. If
a doctor recommends exercise, or garlic, or even aspirin, it's
a sidenote, and
a quaint one. "Oh, my doctor thinks I should move to Florida for my asthma!" Meanwhile, they'll give out the amoxicillin to every crying toddler, even though they know that that is detrimental. you know why? Because it looks like
trinque: thestringpuller: take
a heroic dose of
a psychedelic alone; works as well as
a fight
kakobrekla: i think there was
a discussion back then about this, having it coupled or uncoupled
mircea_popescu: imo the right play would be to stop refreshing and move to
a "provide your pubkey in pastebin" model. prhaps even to be enhanced to
a "ask someone in wot to sign your pubkey and give it to assbot" later. too soon for that imo.
kakobrekla: >
A crowdfunding campaign for
a razor blade which its US creators claimed could remove facial hair with
a laser beam has been suspended by Kickstarter.
mircea_popescu: all neurosis works the same way, the subject replaces the thing as is with
a construct in his own head.
mircea_popescu: the ancient theory on consumptive masturbation was that monsters are
a figment of the imagination, and so the practical cure was to expose the young man to ACTUAL, ie, anatomically accurate depictions of the other gender. what today we'd call porn.
mircea_popescu: for young males with anxiety "disorders" the only workable solution is to get into
a lot of fights.

binaryatrocity: I... have
a personal site, that may look like
a blog. But it is lacking in any blog-like content.
assbot: Logged on 13-10-2015 03:47:10; mircea_popescu: i have never, ever, in my fucking life been in
a situation where pumping dried out the woman. how the fuck does this work even ?
punkman: BingoBoingo: If there was
a single cannon the idiots could take it << no no the cannon takes the idiots, unless I'm out of powder

a surprising piece of advice for parents, which I hope will be taken in the spirit it is offered: your kid doesn't want to be around you that much. No one does. This isn't because you're
a bad person but because you're an ordinary person. You are not such
a unique, creative, intelligent or even interesting person that the kid benefits from constant exposure to you. When you have something to offer, maximize

mircea_popescu: i've seen the thing where after
a bout of sustained fucking her cunt would leak of its own volition for another fucking hour, yes. but what is this sandy bitch bs.
mircea_popescu: i have never, ever, in my fucking life been in
a situation where pumping dried out the woman. how the fuck does this work even ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: "I met the woman at
a Broadway show, but the night's best piece of acting, I'd say, came from me, back at her East Village apartment, after we'd been having sex for about 25 minutes, with Neil Young wailing the song "Comes
a Time" from the laptop on her bedside table. The dried-out condom had
a full-bodied choke hold on me, but I'd already stopped twice to put on
a fresh one, and I knew, as I kept earnestly pumping awa
mircea_popescu: i doubt it's actually possible for
a proper dead end, in nature.
mircea_popescu: anyway, that's the cultural antrhopologist standing story an' im sticking by it : speech is interesting because it provides permanence in
a very improbable setting.
mircea_popescu: because if it weren't... think for just
a minute how horrible life were if in point of fact we were imortal.

Some cry-baby over at Jezebel was thrilled that Sandberg was featured all week on Access Hollywood, holy Christ, she thought this was
a good thing. "Feminism is back in the mainstream in
a big way," she wrote, I assume in between quaaludes, "the women's movement is actually moving."
mircea_popescu: meanwhile, the context of your father shares
a lot with your own.
mircea_popescu: dude i have no idea, the long dead are
a 4th fucking gender.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform but they are dubious scientists. if euclid walked over here and got into an argument with me over fucking bannach space algebra, pete_dushenski would prolly be right in his wing with
a !rate euclid -1 gramps has nfi where his rope ends.
phf: mircea_popescu: i don't think that's the case. there's some magic happening, because there are no provissions to do
a key refresh yet my formerly expired key still works.
mircea_popescu: note that you're no more required to be
a plumber than i'm required to give
a shit about lisp. you get to pick your own spot where your vita brevis makes no difference anyway.
mircea_popescu: here's
a pro tip : everyone investigating matters out of paradigm decide, with clockwork regularity, that their attempt was
a mistake.
mircea_popescu: i don't think you're enough of
a pedophile to give
a shit about what teenaged women do anyway.

a bidet in vienna
assbot: Logged on 13-10-2015 02:08:02; mircea_popescu: you want
a washbasin to shit in, plug the bidet and go at it.
mircea_popescu: he happens to be exactly right, too. welfare class strictly means entrenching aristocracy, it isn't even
a thing on and of itself. just
a sympthom of that phenomena.
mircea_popescu: in media and not understand media? The fact that feminism is in the mainstream means that it doesn't exist, it is no longer real, in the same way that when you hear "gun control debate" it's
a lie and "fiscal cliff" is an easy to market, safe distraction from the structural problems that can never be named, here's one: for any heterogeneous population, the expansion of
a "welfare class" is logically inseparable from t

☟︎☟︎ BingoBoingo: If there was

mircea_popescu: actually universal agreement being strictly detrimental is
a standing rule.
mircea_popescu: just
a large-ish body of accepted knowledge which merely appears accepted "by everyone" in the sense that nobody agrees with all of it but nobody has seriously attacked all of it.
mircea_popescu: unlike any decent cult, b-
a does not actually have
a cannon.
phf: i thought the matter of subkeys, "automatic" key replacements or substituions was settled by hanbot's story. i really put too much faith in it as the b-

☟︎ punkman: btw, has anyone signed
a collection of assbot wot keys?
nubbins`: shinohai surely your country has
a law limiting how much change can be used to settle
a transaction?!
punkman: dunno, I worry more about someone refreshing his keyring and ending up with extra subkeys under my main key, than
a second main key appearing with same fingerprint, so I'm definitely setting my cert-digest-algo to sha512
mircea_popescu: "subkey shenanigans" are EXACTLY what "someone finding
a collision for your fp" means.
punkman: well I'm more worried about subkey shenanigans than someone finding
a collision for my fingerprint
mircea_popescu: miss california / miss usa aspirant, asked by that slime perez hilton what she thinks of same sex marriages, didn't have the presence of mind to tell the old fag to stuff it with the bullying, as this is about hot young women not about wrinkly old poofs nobody would fuck with
a loaned goat penis,
