pete_dushenski: "Titanium- or kevlar-reinforced weaves are recommended for true Pantagruels." << not entirely
a joke.
cazalla: just wait until you start finding
a hand peaking out the top
mitch_callahan: in my scenario, the guy didnt wanna go through insurance, so he didnt hesitate with
a cash settlement

http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=08-10-2015#1294670 << without having to perform any necromancy or wield crystal ball, i can tell you how it will go - precisely like the pharma pain of 1990s-present, where
a corp is bought (present-day monsanto shares nothing at all with the monsanto that sold the first LED) - and 'useless eaters' like r&d folk are sacked to pad shareholder pockets
cazalla: i was gonna ask for
a ball park figure of 2/3 of the quote, what do you think?
☟︎ cazalla: so i had
a car accident like 6 weeks ago, young chick merges into my lane, does
a bunch of superficial damage, lodge claim and gotta take it to panelbeaters on monday for
a quote.. but given the car is 20 years old, i'd rather
a cash settlement than the car having the damage fixed.. insurance company is open to the idea once i've got the quote done which i would gauge around $1,500 given the chick damaged 3 sections
pete_dushenski: basically, visiting
a dealership for maintenance has become
a legal and fiscal liability.
pete_dushenski: bingoboingo and even
a pig ear is still an artificial nipple. not artificial in the sense of it being plastic, but in the sense of it being attached to
a real woman's tit. so there's that.
pete_dushenski: and royal sir baby henry or whatever his name is, niko is not. my kid's pretty much
a worm until he proves otherwise.
kakobrekla: related stories : VW emissions scandal is
a one-off incident, says motor industry boss
punkman: "The study also addressed St. Louis city's efforts to use eminent domain and relocate residents to put together
a 100-acre urban site for the construction. It found that there would be "long-term beneficial effects to individuals who are relocated."
BingoBoingo: Just... The odd shit lizards say they look at when deciding on
a home
assbot: Amazon Launches Snowball,
A Rugged Storage Appliance For Importing Data To AWS By FedEx | TechCrunch ... (

mircea_popescu: <ascii_field> btw 'talos' is
a cheap front for burning old nsa holez << word.
ascii_field: see, e.g., their 'cisco struck
a blow against hackerz!1111' idiocy

ascii_field: BingoBoingo: we expelled it from bitcoin for
a reason.
dexX7: mircea_popescu: i didn't know how i can voice myself with
a different nick
thestringpuller: the first one wasn't compliant but I think he applied for
a fed license and he started acting weird after that.
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: so looking into the deathandtaxes he was "running
a business" in the unknown interim to replace his bitcoin4cash business or whatever
mircea_popescu: bitcoin puts
a time limit on it, of course, but that's all. hence the clock issue.
thestringpuller: "uARM is certainly no speed demon. It takes about 2 hours to boot to bash prompt ("init=/bin/bash" kernel command line). Then 4 more hours to boot up the entire Ubuntu ("exec init" and then login). Starting X takes
a lot longer. The effective emulated CPU speed is about 6.5KHz, which is on par with what you'd expect emulating
a 32-bit CPU & MMU on
a measly 8-bit micro. Curiously enough, once booted, the system is somewhat usabl
thestringpuller: i wonder if
a bitcoin company will call itself triangle in the future
cazalla: "It is not compulsory to live in Australia, if you find Australian values are, you know, unpalatable, then there's
a big wide world out there and people have got freedom of movement," Mr Turnbull said.
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."
☟︎ davout: "This gained us the benefit of having
a bijective connection between fingerprint and key." <<< lolwut
punkman: I should probably look for
a dishwasher-safe mouse
Naphex: mircea_popescu: yep; i'm waiting for
a mail from him should come later on today
BingoBoingo: * mircea_popescu remembers that time when kyle torpey was it posted an article begging for something or the other and then michael derp came in and beleeted it and made
a lengthy "full responsibility"-flavoured nonsensepost. << Those were some lulz

BingoBoingo: It's not
a drunk theory. Came into it while walking tonight.
BingoBoingo: re: Ball Mice. While they were
a thing I don't remember
a time "castration" wasn't
a prank that plagued public computer labs.
mitch_callahan: i read the logs
a few weeks later and it's what cazalla describes as the bitcoin hole I'm guessing
mitch_callahan: one day mircea_popescu, you crossed my mind. i visualized
a bunch of shapes collapsing in on themselves. it was the universe eating itself.
mircea_popescu: next thing you know it runs up 10k% (as it did) and you're left paying pennies to the dollar to your investors, IN SPITE of having done
a great job.
mircea_popescu: it would have been
a horrible idea (as i pointed out at the time).
a purely fiat business like selling fizz fits very poorly on bitcoin.
mitch_callahan: it jump started me in the space, mostly meeting people, seeing who's who. started
a meetup, etc etc.
mitch_callahan: he met
a lot of people very quickly. iirc he had erik voorhees on the line, amongst others. bitpay was pushing it, too.
mitch_callahan:
a guy in the US bought the trademark and brought it back
mitch_callahan: i think those guys finally reached their goal
a year later. i should have some clearly canadian to give away in the near future. i cant remember what it cost me in btc, though.
mircea_popescu: anyway, they had
a very heavy steel ball with
a thin silicone covering.
hanbot: mircea_popescu how many lightbulbs can you turn on at
a time with that?
mircea_popescu: then again, old ball mice... i had
a straight lines and right angles genius. because molding plastic was hard in the 80s
phf: i refused to use optical mouse for
a long time, because my railgun technique involved upwards swipe, that would periodically glitch out with an optical mouse and would rotate completely randomly. good times.
phf: pretty sure that thing has
a remote triggered cyanide injector.
a "present" for ascii
mircea_popescu: best be careful, lest at night it reassembles itself into
a dulap.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i discovered
a new japanese restaurant (in china town) whereby i had an exceptional peruan soup.
assbot: You rated user menahem on 26-Apr-2015, with
a rating of 1, and supplied these additional notes: New blood.
mircea_popescu: mod6 maybe you're thinking recoleta. i did that one
a while back.
mod6: ah cool, you got
a chance to walk through there!
mircea_popescu: and more-moreover, your one-to-manyh permutation will be implemented as
a hash fun ction.
mod6: haha. i recall there was
a guy before phf's time that was like, "i can't hang in here! too much sedition!" or something
mod6: that might have been
a different d00d
phf: i'm waiting for this channel to catch up with me, i'm going to go through some routine dc check, like
a metal scanner or security clearance, and it's going to be "step this way sir." some gruff looking gentleman holding b-
a printouts..
mircea_popescu: but i gotta say "why don't you fly" "inertia" is
a damned good answer.
phf: inertia, there was
a point when amtrak was also inexpensive in addition to being cheap
mircea_popescu: whenever i hear of someone saying they're in transit i always picture
a person inside an intestine.
phf: mircea_popescu: back then it was kek, these days i could probably get
a hackernews frontpage "fundamental vulnerability found in gnupg, no one is safe!" either way completely irrelevant. just reminded me, it was 2005 or so
mircea_popescu: doing this is actually
a strategic mistake i'd be more than happy to see executed.
phf: oh hey i wrote
a poc for pgp filter at toorcon, when that other wifi mitm came out. no need to figure out what's where, just sit on the
http stream, catch text/*, grep it for gpg headers, and then rewrite on the fly
