asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i dealt with them for a living.

asciilifeform: the way i see it, withholding source for a safety-critical mechanism like bitcoin client is a hostile act - unambiguously poisonous offering.

asciilifeform: what's a 'black box item' ?

asciilifeform: if not, why not ?

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu will run a bitcoin client with 0 published source ? in anger ?

asciilifeform: there sure as fuck is inferrable intent.

asciilifeform: rather than mechanical identity.

asciilifeform: it is about ~intent~

asciilifeform: which is why i see deliberate obfuscation as an admission of guilt

asciilifeform: 'trust but verify'

asciilifeform: have found quite a few interesting bits this way.

asciilifeform: quite often i ~will~ do the measurements. by hand.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: if said data is obfuscated against me, i regard it as an attack.

asciilifeform: and specifically to maximally fuck the author.

asciilifeform: i run other folks' binaries solely for purpose of reversing and exploitation.

asciilifeform: trinque: fact remains, if you think i'm gonna run a binary, ANYONE's binary, for whatever reason, yer smoking dope. ☟︎☟︎

asciilifeform: and let's once and for all distinguish 'source for phuctor' from 'source for grep'

asciilifeform: which falls right back into the 'sane computing' list.

asciilifeform: availability of source

asciilifeform: the only 'stallman law' that remains after you strip away ALL of the usgological 'rights' claptral is no 1

asciilifeform: but it isn't

asciilifeform: and for some reason i thought that the above was also the one where mircea_popescu had the bit re 'usg tries to claim the ability to delegate the right to use software, as the church claimed the right to delegate use of woman'

asciilifeform: http://trilema.com/2016/the-v-manual-genesis << found it.

asciilifeform: does anyone have the link ?

asciilifeform: there was an entire mircea_popescu piece on subj

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: l0l!!11

asciilifeform: phf: i find myself agreeing with naggum - gpl was a weapon against microshit, and makes very little sense in any other context

asciilifeform: mine's still in.

asciilifeform: *road cone

asciilifeform: lousy fuck with rode cone studded with razor wire.

asciilifeform: sure did. the students fell asleep in class tho.

asciilifeform: *pestilence

asciilifeform: it is a pesilence, and has less redeeming value than the aids virus.

asciilifeform: there is nothing educative about complexity cancer and the c machine.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: not cat, or random luser, but ~somebody somewhere~

asciilifeform: because the entire conceptual framework is defective.

asciilifeform: e.g., openssl source is 'available' to all, but understood by no one

asciilifeform: trinque: i was speaking of the missing 'freedom' from stallman's 'freedoms list' - '... to UNDERSTAND'

asciilifeform: (less of a practical interest and more of a 'this never happened!111' item.)

asciilifeform: https://bits-please.blogspot.com/2016/06/extracting-qualcomms-keymaster-keys.html << how to extract the usg master key in shitdroid

asciilifeform: so this is how we learn that mircea_popescu had a horse. but then went to beat it into ferrari, still working

asciilifeform: no amount of beating will conjure into existence a sane cpu, for instance.

asciilifeform: the beatings are really analogous to the fine adjustment knob on, e.g., microscope

asciilifeform: phf: this works until accepting non-shit begins to resemble the process of extracting uranium from sea water

asciilifeform: well yes.

asciilifeform: i posted all the interesting parts anyway

asciilifeform: but distinguishing 'if you want me to run this on my iron, let's have the source' from 'open sores movement'

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: well yes, wasn't speaking of trinque's item, or similar remotely-operated gadgets

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2015-12-21#1349108 ☝︎

asciilifeform: it is ~minimal~ bar.

asciilifeform: all of this being said, if anyone expects me to run something on local box without publishing plausibly-readable source i can build it from, he is smoking dope.

asciilifeform: esp. if you include the 10,001km of library entrails.

asciilifeform: it is ~impossible to ~actually understand~ it.

asciilifeform: publication of a gnarly ball of cpp makes very little difference.

asciilifeform: i still say that source availability is a red herring here ☟︎

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: don't forget the inevitable next stage, where they develop the delusion of having found ~all~ of the possible ones

asciilifeform: shinohai: https://archive.is/jlIVZ loads

asciilifeform: 'subscribe or sign in'

asciilifeform: shinohai: nope and it dun want to display here

asciilifeform: there is also a bookcase-sized case law, i will leave it for danielpbarron

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the basic usgology of this, https://www.irs.gov/charities-non-profits/churches-religious-organizations/churches-defined

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: worth a shot. will be good for a boatload of lulz in either case

asciilifeform: my observation was that mircea_popescu can indeed put 'pope' on his business card, right now!1111 - but to be ~untaxed~ pope in usgschwitz, you gotta be in favour with the current clitler

asciilifeform: ah

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: which true

asciilifeform: (^ folks who 'just want' are quite vulnerable to 'helpers' who will 'help us to do what we just want..' in return for 'small favour')

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-06-30#1493175 << 'we just wanted!111111' ☝︎

asciilifeform: ah ok

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-06-30#1493152 << neato. do we have 'rated' command, so the thing can be in the l0gz ? ☝︎

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-06-30#1493176 << very cheap pet. but i sometimes get it pet treat ☝︎

asciilifeform: as evidence - obummer recently had the tax-exemption of a number of quite standard christian churches revoked, on account of their opposition to obummerism. beyond a little bit of bad press, nothing happened.

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-06-30#1493182 << this ~just might~ be one of those 'bmore real estate' animals, where, e.g., scientology gets away with it and laughs all the way to the bank, but 'peyote church' - doesn't ☝︎

asciilifeform: just dangled by some 'responsible' fuckhead.

asciilifeform: not, afaik, actually leaked.

asciilifeform: 'Additionally, information is not available to the general public who may not be aware that they are on such a list, but whose bank accounts and business transactions may be cancelled without warning or recourse. Banks are not required by law to provide consumers with a reason for account closures, and World-Check has a binding secrecy clause for users of the service.'

asciilifeform bbl

asciilifeform: snulz.

asciilifeform: snoretronic

asciilifeform: bhhhrrrlf

asciilifeform: did she tear up old alarm clock using ruby on rails and get medal from obummer yet ?

asciilifeform: most folks dun notice , given as it exits

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-06-30#1493076 << it leaks ☝︎

asciilifeform: i only heard it.

asciilifeform: whatcha wgettin'

asciilifeform: waiwat?!

asciilifeform: http://www.pbfcomics.com/209 << obligatory.

asciilifeform: and was perfectly fine broadway play, and hilarious, washington et al 'rapping' like hood ratz etc.
