asciilifeform: it is a continuation of http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=25-09-2015#1285749 ☝︎
asciilifeform: this was, i was told a multi-kg stash of synthesis-grade reagent.
asciilifeform: eventually he contracted with a proper crematorium
asciilifeform: reminds me of a tale from the lab chief at my first job, at u.s. nih. when he inherited the grounds, there was cocaine left over from the last fella. who was busted because not all of it could be accounted for. the new lab had nothing to do with cocaine, and
asciilifeform: 'Building a secure multisignature escrow service' << will this crud never die
assbot: 21 - Submit A Bitcoin Tutorial ... ( http://bit.ly/1Ot7sNw )
mircea_popescu: i fucking hate them and i glad they died in a fire, there's nothing either wise or good about this junk.
mircea_popescu couldn't get through that zimmermann "why i" blabla a decade ago, still can't today.
asciilifeform: zimmerman, if you recall, sold pgp to hitler, allowing it to become a laughing stock of mystery meat faux crypto, but, as if this were not enough, went on to participate in the multi-coloured phones idiocy
asciilifeform: and his later life is so ignominious a thing that it almost retro-taints him into pederasty, in my mind
asciilifeform: nor is anything else about the current implementation (what is signed is IN ALL CASES a sha1 of the key-to-be-signed) sane.
asciilifeform: thing about subkeys is that they are a fundamentally ill-conceived idea - the notion that 'i can update my modulus but it is still considered the same key, because it is signed by this other key here, and this fact is to be verified by machine'
mircea_popescu: that was a bit ago. and yeah, they did look a little pudgy.
asciilifeform: but i also recall a recent attempt by orcs to flood into ft, that was checked by force of arms
asciilifeform: last i checked they had a 1M+ army parked in de, and kr...
asciilifeform: but a cannon fodder detachment ?
assbot: 15 results for 'tikrit' : http://s.b-a.link/?q=tikrit
asciilifeform: otherwise it is a forest fire, that will burn for so long as there is dry wood.
mircea_popescu: that you don't like it is a wholly unrelated consideration.
asciilifeform: i suppose, for some - enough. just like a typical turd contains enough nourishment for some creatures
asciilifeform: the 'can leave' was always a mystery button that isn't connected to anything. as if there ACTUALLY WERE a functional anti-west blok to defect to
mircea_popescu: "here's the laws and and if you don't like it, you can leave" "i'll go join the people that'll fuck you up" "o wait you can't leave" "does that mean you admit your laws are dumb ?" "nope" "does that make you a hypocritical idiot ? " "no it doesnt!!1" ☟︎
asciilifeform: eh that's one's a crock of shit in 10,001 ways. it is in all sense compulsory for a serf to live in the grounds to which he is bound
mircea_popescu: <assbot> Logged on 25-03-2015 05:16:55; asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: if you have a favourite << i don't imagine the 6 months caught us any fish, but anyway.
mircea_popescu: bitcoin is not a good start either. it's just the start we got.
asciilifeform: it was a terrible start.
asciilifeform: with the notion that it was a good start, only to be corrupted later

assbot: Logged on 10-10-2015 17:36:25; mircea_popescu: in fact gpg has a lot in commnon with bitcoin : an original prototype of a good idea, with a lot of quick and dirty stuff,
assbot: Logged on 25-03-2015 05:16:55; asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: if you have a favourite classical tarball of gpg, please consider sign and post it (with disclaimer similar to your collectible 0.5.3 tarball on listserv)
mircea_popescu: the main difference being that no multi-billion worth of terrorists gave a shit back in 1999
mircea_popescu: in fact gpg has a lot in commnon with bitcoin : an original prototype of a good idea, with a lot of quick and dirty stuff, ☟︎
phf: ben_vulpes: i looked at it couple of months ago investigating the origins of the checksum behavior, and it's not at all a mythical repository of pre-diddle functionality. it has long compromised crypto all over the place, like afore mentioned md5, hardcoded
mircea_popescu: mostly for the lulzy "you.com not myspace.com/you" image followed by a windows xp screenshot.
assbot: Logged on 10-10-2015 13:14:11; mircea_popescu: who the fuck wants to stick it in a 11 yo boy looking woman.
trinque: mircea_popescu: space is cheap and that's a worthy addition.
mircea_popescu: a better hash than md5 ?

mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=10-10-2015#1295918 << this is actually illegal by a bunch of treaties. ☝︎
Vexual: mp'd prolly buy it off the cunt at a discount
Vexual: uponn greeting a mad gunman, the thoughtful motorist will drive around
mircea_popescu: in this sense, the shooters are more important for the sanity of the species than the us congress. they provide a much needed, deeply valuable check on the idiotic, FEMALE behaviours of the herd.
mircea_popescu: try this, do something meaningless, pointless and "wasteful" or at any rate against their internalized normas. it'll give them dry fucking heaves, omfg you're leaving a 50 watt light on, or the water running just because ? headexplody.
mircea_popescu: in this sense going to school and lighting up a bunch of fucktarded kids is the ultimate will, in that it's mostly a gratuitous act. such existentialism bothers the libtard to high heavens.
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=10-10-2015#1295905 << you have to understand the core problem there. libtards aren't butthurt about dead people. they give about as much as a shit as anyone else, there's 7bn people around, you wanna kill some take your pick, nobody cares. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: who the fuck wants to stick it in a 11 yo boy looking woman. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=10-10-2015#1295887 << you know this was actyually in teh logs a year or so ago. ☝︎

mircea_popescu: because "positive" labels in the rent-extracting sense of "positive" always turn out a little hollow and then a little hollower each passing year. the "ecological" lightbulbs ain't that ecological either. and so on.
assbot: Logged on 10-10-2015 05:35:02; pete_dushenski: "Grindr users are not that gay, at least according to a new survey." << bwahahaha ! 'best survey of the day' award goes to this guy, whoever he is.
Vexual blow the dust of a thre and one half inout
ben_vulpes: must be a heritable trait
assbot: Logged on 10-10-2015 03:34:31; cazalla: i was gonna ask for a ball park figure of 2/3 of the quote, what do you think?
mircea_popescu: as if this may ever be a thing.
mircea_popescu: however that decoupling does mean trinque is stguck with a blockchain, which... he gets credits for hosting.

ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: did you ever do a piece on the mailing list/prediction scam where the operator keeps splitting the list on predictions until he's down to a tenth of the original list who've only seen him make winning predictions?
mircea_popescu: unsurprisingly, as it's the one bit of ai we actually turn out to need (as opposed to starstrucklingly WANT, a la sussman & co)
cazalla: how did a generation raised on such movies, even demolition man and ya golden eyes turn intos such cuck tumblr faggots
cazalla: mebe you give 3 a pass if ya desperate
cazalla: our data retention (officially) starts in a few days, on the 14th of october too
cazalla: and the muslims wanna build a mosque but hey, why not, more teenagers running the streets popping cops in the back of the head in australia where guns are banned
cazalla: we've got demonstrations down under all over muslims because some 15 year old popped a chink in the head coming outta the cop shop https://twitter.com/hashtag/bendigo?data_id=tweet%3A652637516625870848&f=images&vertical=default&src=tren
pete_dushenski to dream a dream
assbot: Logged on 09-10-2015 01:56:06; asciilifeform: my original observation, though, stands - the time to stop thinking of pgp 64bit fp as 'the man' is not when arbitrarily colliding sha1 costs a penny! it is now.
pete_dushenski: actually, i thought it was a photochop at first. 'official photo of pyongyang' style. but whatever.
pete_dushenski: so it's a big empty useless shell. well that makes more sense now.
pete_dushenski: "Construction began in 1987 but was halted in 1992 as North Korea entered a period of economic crisis after the fall of the Soviet Union. After 1992 the building stood topped out, but without any windows or interior fittings. In 2008 construction resumed. In 2011, the exterior was completed. The opening of the hotel has been scheduled several times but postponed." << retardopedia to the rescue.

Bingo_VACAY: For the record intra is a full stack news organization, just most is still in the pants
cazalla: but now even the most ugly hamplanets can jump on whatever app and find someone within 50km radius (and you know these cunts will drive 500km at just a whiff of cunt)
mitch_callahan: this happened to me: i was sitting at a dinner table, and the married guy next to me got a push notification from grindr.
pete_dushenski: "Grindr users are not that gay, at least according to a new survey." << bwahahaha ! 'best survey of the day' award goes to this guy, whoever he is. ☟︎
mitch_callahan: they look pretty sweet, from a 1 minute demo it felt more comfortable than 2 monitors side by side.
cazalla: i believe there are some 144hz aroud now, and that eizo is 240hz which would be awesome but a bit $$$ unless you have aspirations of the pros or something
mitch_callahan: yea i'm not much of a gamer but i'll take that into consideration.
cazalla: funny i never see em mentioned anywhere in gaming forums though, looks a much better monitor than my benq 120hz
assbot: Logged on 09-10-2015 11:07:40; punkman: from same thread: "If Collision attacks become viable for SHA-1 fingerprints, then they would probably also become viable for subkeys as well, and it might be possible for an attacker to generate a subkey with a collision for the cross-certifying signature, and be able to graft a false subkey onto a master key with a SHA-1 signature, which would definitely be a key compromise."
cazalla: ya know i looked up those eizo monitors.. they have a gaming monitor.. for like 2k, decided i was not that much of a gamer
mitch_callahan: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=09-10-2015#1295491 << they used to be a super cheap brand, with dollar store quality stuff. it seems they've shifted to more premium goods. ☝︎
pete_dushenski: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=09-10-2015#1295415 << to your credit, i've smacked a lot of kids over the years and exceedingly few have made it so far as to read logs, much less make pgp keys, much less register them, etc. ☝︎
cazalla: ah i shitcanned that long ago mitch_callahan, social media gives one a sense of unwarranted importance
pete_dushenski: alf has a blog too: loper-os
mitch_callahan: does everyone in ba have a blog? im all caught up on trilema, contravex and qntra. i suppose i can check out ben_vulpes blog.
pete_dushenski: some might contest that a blog not updated once a ~day~ is dead, which happened to be the standard that i held myself to pre-child. now: twice a week on the blog and once a day in irc seems more sensible.
pete_dushenski: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=09-10-2015#1295152 << seconded. yes, a blog can be a slog. yes, you sometimes go ~days~ without having the time to tend to it. but there's really no replacement for it. so stay up until 1am, get up at 5am, whatever you have to do, do it. a blog that isn't updated once a week is dead. and no one wants that necrotised weight hanging around their necks. ☝︎
pete_dushenski: iirc mitch_callahan was living in toronto for a while, may still be
pete_dushenski: nah, not by a million miles. toronto is vancouver without the views.
Bingo_VACAY: Canuckindependence is a myth
cazalla: bit of a shame that she got aids and lost all the curves

cazalla: mariska hargitay not a bad piece of ass eh
Bingo_VACAY: And all because the person Denton bought the sport site from is a Cardinals fan
assbot: Logged on 08-10-2015 18:23:11; ascii_field: 'Concretely, we estimate the SHA-1 collision cost today (i.e., Fall 2015) between 75K$ and 120K$ renting Amazon EC2 cloud computing over a few months.'
pete_dushenski: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=08-10-2015#1294956 << wonder what 'a few months' means. big difference between 3 and 6 in practical terms, perhaps just as meaningful as the cost. ☝︎
cazalla: made a bunch of spicy baked beans as a snack food but tbh, i don't think i'll bother growing broad beans again (was the first time)
assbot: Logged on 08-10-2015 03:31:02; cazalla: nice to sit down with a beer after shelling over 9000 broad beans
