mircea_popescu: "So those vehicles -- 11 million of them and counting -- are damaged goods. They will *never* be able to meet environmental regulations. That means either (a) they'll need to be taken off the road or (b) environmental regulations will need to be rewritten to include a carve-out for VW diesel owners." << or ship them to pakistan. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: So, right there, VW diesel owners have a pretty ironclad case for what boils down to speculative financial compensation: the difference between what the cars 'would have been worth' if this flaw hadn't been exposed and what they *are* worth -- which is zero, if only because no one in their right mind would buy one (and in many cases reale may now be forbidden by law) << what ?

Naphex: pete_dushenski: the annoying captchas are there too get rid of bots; since xotika is mostly all backend the site is just a thin client to the backend
HeySteve: given the bot thing, that the site was a honeypot from the getgo seems less far-fetched
punkman: http://www.myplanetganja.com/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=11022&start=120#p144158 "He would kidnap Ross Ulbrichts sister, or mother, or ideally both. Get a video capable phone in front of Ross Ulbricht, and he'd give up that fucking pass phrase, and Diamond would have them tortured until he did.

mircea_popescu: it's a decease!!1
mircea_popescu: let alone that bitcoin is and was from the onset conservativism in a pill and rejection of two centuries of "progress" in the most absolute form imaginable.
mircea_popescu: "With conservatism Bitcoin would never existed at all. If all humans would be conservative we would still be living in caves. Conservatism is a decease."
gabriel_laddel: ben_vulpes: to be clear - I've "banged together" nothing, unless you want to count a patch allowing one to use truetype fonts. The majority of my work is assembling obtuse packages for noobz with justification as to *why* certain decision were made.

asciilifeform: The reason it is notable, is that someone at or near the location in Sterling, VA is performing a MITM attack on Cryptome visitors, and this image out of the slidedeck with the two GPS coordinates is the U.S. Government performing a MITM attack against Cryptome and sharing the collected intelligence with the Brits, or the U.S. Government giving the British government backdoor access into the U.S. (illegal) collection systems.'
asciilifeform: 'the address for Cryptome is listed to be the location of a fiber optic cable junction in Sterling, VA (next to an Amusement Machine company)... which is quite some distance away from your location in NYC, and a considerable distance from your ISP who hosts your file, and it is located away from any signal switching systems use in the area, but it is virtually next door to fiber that goes to a large NSA listening post nearby.

asciilifeform: when i worked in usg, they had xp boxes, yes. i simply requisitioned 'vmware' and cooked up a gentoo vm.
danielpbarron: i too must use a winbl0ws machine at work, and the password is on a post-it note stuck to the monitor, as is usually the custom with machines of this nature
PeterL: So I have to use Winblows at work. The most annoying thing is the tendency of programs to steal focus at wierd times. Like, I start a program, see it is going to take a minute to load, switch to my other program and sign in, but wait the first stole the focus and now my password is sitting there in plaintext. Bleh.

A functioning grassland prairie produces more biomass each year than does even the most technologically advanced wheat field. The problem is, it's mostly a form of grass and grass roots that humans can't eat. So we replace the prairie with our own preferred grass, wheat. Never mind that we feed most of our grain to livestock, and that livestock is perfectly c

mircea_popescu: well sure, for as long as a usg-pretense exists to keep bankrolling everyone's pretense, everyone's gonna keep on pretending.

mircea_popescu: im sure they're trying to stuff the bill into SOMETHING. an acquisition of some sort, vc capital somewhere, a credit card balance movement to a larger credit card. it hasta.

mircea_popescu: you might find that most of the windows with lights in them are painted cardboard in the shape of a window with a light in it.
asciilifeform: but it is not entirely a useless observation because it explains why the 'lights stayed on as long as they did'
mircea_popescu is skeptical. and will continue to be so, because time ticks behind him. in a decade i'll pretend that not only am i right now, but was right all along : no better stock in that place.
