mircea_popescu: you'd
think it's sheer postmodernism,
thief yelling
thief and
the dudes sitting atop piles of unbacked paper derping about how bitcoin is "risky because not backed by anything"
mircea_popescu: diana_coman ayup. but it's funny, you know, dude in a
toyota going "hey mister, shitty imports are not reliable cars".
trinque: can't wait
to read, asciilifeform
diana_coman: to me it seems
they rehash

time it jumps up in price by 1k or so
mircea_popescu: "bitch, really, what is
the united states dobaloo backed by ?!" "the full faith and credit of
the us government!!" "you mean like...
the webpage by
that name ?!" "no no
there's so much more
to it
than
that!!1" "im sure."
mircea_popescu: somehow it's 2012 again and
the item not backed by anything is bitcoin, not
the various fiats.
mircea_popescu: in other fake news / mass media lulz, i read in
today's la nacion
that bitcoin went over 8k usd, and
that various nobodies leeching
the
tax chest opine as
to how "items not backed by anything are risky".
diana_coman: mircea_popescu, rot or non-rot shows equally at all levels, so it's rather hard
to get much of a mixture of either side of it
mircea_popescu: the cnat raed crowd of brogrammers didn't get ONE
thing wrong.
they got a whole list of
things wrong (that
they
think is one single
thing, but
then again primitive man also has a single word for enemy, be it wolbachia, wolves or western men.

throw gpg )

two implementations of example malicious signers: One produces non-deterministic signatures and leaks a 256 bit private key,
to
the holder of a specific public key and no one else, in ~33 signatures with very high probability (failure rate of 1 in 1000 for 33 signatures, around 1 in a million for 34).
The other produces a seemingly RFC 6979 like deterministic signatures and
trinque: mmm apparently
the correct key
mircea_popescu: i dunno, i kinda dun see
the "sorry, avion
ti gori" folk upholding any rulings.
mircea_popescu: dood ~could~ have just sat his ass down in belgrade, bussed
the hos in from prague

that address yet
kjj: were withdrawls delayed because of
the holiday weekend?
mircea_popescu: few people can get
through any social call without
tv support. which is how
they ended up invading bars etc.
a111: Logged on 2017-11-27 02:03 asciilifeform: similar reaction if you invite an american d00d into a house with no
tv set
diana_coman:
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-27#1743279 <- I had
this with cypriots

tv? not *even* where you sit with friends? what do you do?? well, we...talk, you know;
to be fair I've put
that on account of youth rather
than more generic rot but maybe I was wrong
☝︎ mircea_popescu: je n'ai pas eu besoin de cette hypothese a lot more radical
than originally
thought.
mircea_popescu: usian can not comprehend existence unless
tv explains it
to him ("how does
the news relate
to me?!?!"), arab hasta have
the allah basis, socialist needs
the state
to, conceptually, assuage his existential anxieties and so following.
mircea_popescu: "spurious item which
the superficial mind regards as
the universal underpinning of existence"
mircea_popescu: anyway, i suppose
this is
the proper definition of divinity.
mircea_popescu: arabs believed "if one doesn't believe in god, no matter which as long as one" world also ends. looked at me as you'd look at something
thart crawled out of black hole.
mircea_popescu: or
the exact equivalent, "if
there were no state
THE WORLD WOULD END!1111"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i heard it pluriously, much like
the whole "if men just went out
to rape and pillage
there'd be ANARCHY!!!1"
mircea_popescu: fucking scum of all
time,
those are
the only women anyone even wants!
mircea_popescu: dja know how despicable faggots of
the interwar (such as, eminently, bedwetter blair) were "indignant" at "the cruel and violent sport of boxing" especially because "of how it makes a minority of women behave" ?
mircea_popescu: to hear
the woman retell it, it was more a case of ww2 russian materiel, "we made a buncha duds so now we're gonna call
this a new standard rather
than
throw
them out"
a111: Logged on 2014-04-25 20:09 asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: did you ever encounter
the
tale of 'подвиг радиста' as schoolboy?
mircea_popescu: back
then everything came with its own apple-style keyboard etc, nothing fucking worked. subtly.
mircea_popescu: there's nothing more perennial
than 1880s
tech, in
the 1960s as in
the 2010
mircea_popescu: you know back in
the day she worked for
the usaf, chet had a buncha crap systems
that had
to interop, ended up plugging
them all on a hunk of wood
to switch manually ?
mircea_popescu: (phone was new and needed name... in
the 80s.
the other 80s.)
mircea_popescu lived
this recently, very elegant vertical 1920s style item, on wall. "what interesting art" "it's a fucking sundial" "a what ?!"
mircea_popescu: comes, originally, when
this newfanged
tech was new and needed a name, from a different item
that was common curriculum and meanwhile disappeared
mircea_popescu: i wonder if ppl even have any fucking clue WHY it's "~dial~
tone".

the whole fucking noc. half of

that point still fuckling
tandys or whatever
the fuck bicolor cgas.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
the only place i ever used one, in
the 90s, WAS IN DATACENTER. not at your fucking house.
mircea_popescu: that "conventiona 1990 vga kvm" EXISTS so
that people in
the noc can look at
their god damned comps
mircea_popescu: obviously 1990s
tech will not reference 2010
tech wtf nonsense is
