assbot: Logged on 22-10-2014 18:52:16; mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> how to do signed commits << the barbarian way. everyone who read
a patch file (yes) and is willing to sign under it, signs. this gets posted. whoever wants, can apply the patches to get
a merged turdball. << i think this is exactly how it should go.
mircea_popescu: the former's
a purely historical interest. the latter's practical.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: my point was precisely that it is
a spurious distinction, and that i do not make it in the system; and that anyone who wants to try to be remembered as the first one to pen
a particular patch had better deedbot his signature
mircea_popescu: so you write
a song, and play it here. sometime later, i play this song for my hos.
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: it's
a STEALTH STARTUP
trinque: I think releases are the same thing, just point from elsewhere to designate
a release
trinque: ^ certain things are
a fine task for some other program
ascii_field: trinque, mircea_popescu, et al: there is another fine point re: 'v' that i'm
a little surprised nobody asked about. how it does not distinguish signers from authors. it does not do this because it is physically impossible, other than via deedbot etc., and i am not in the business of promising the impossible.
ascii_field: trinque: i must dourly remind you that what you read was
a very hasty and rough piece of work, that needs heavy work - particularly simplification of the graph walker
assbot: Logged on 31-08-2015 08:28:38; trinque: this v.py is sublime. I've been playing with it for
a while.
ascii_field: general-purpose computing has been disappearing for 20 years without so much as
a squeak, much less shots ringing out
ascii_field: Official ban proposed on open source anything in any apparatus containing
a radio (5GHz at first, but usg sop camel nose)
trinque: we'll be dead within
a decade :p
ascii_field: 'Actually, this applies to the whole device. The article is wrong that it only applies to the radio. If the device contain
a radio capable of acting in the 5GHz band, then firmware Control must be secured for the whole device, even if the parameters for the wireless Communication is locked in hardware. Note that even if you as
a device manufacturer can certify in point 2 that the radio itself do contain hardware locks
trinque: I chucked
a bit to see that they specifically mention DD-WRT, but I'm not that surprised
trinque: time to accept that you're
a criminal merely by being
a thinking person.
☟︎ ascii_field: basic idea here is an attempted ban on cheap chinese 'we won't lift
a finger to enforce usg diktat' chipsets
shinohai: Routers aren't any fun if you can't attach
a pringles yagi
BingoBoingo: <nanashi_> During an emergency like "stress-testing," I'd like to see
a remedial measure which extends the 3-day window to something like 7-day window, or as
a last resort,
a manual inquiry for refunding. << SOmetime on Day 2 double spend the coins with
a higher fee so the miners want it.
mike_c: that's always
a dangerous posture when the baby wakes up and decides to eat
☟︎ pete_dushenski: water have I brought to boil with friends and family. Certainly nothing irresolvable, and no interventions have yet been attempted, but being
a Reactionary isn’t always smooth sailing."
pete_dushenski: jurov: b-
a pretty much lit the fuse for his conception, at least or so i theorise
☟︎ jurov: was he reading #b-
a in the womb?
ben_vulpes: i'll give it
a read-through later today.
nanashi_: Those were my worry-ness. I have never thought "faq/#150" had much meaning because I thought forgetting for 3 days seemed to be
a complete idiot!
nanashi_: punkman: Yes. But I anticipate
a bigger incident will inevitably occur due to
a 1MB thing.
nanashi_: Also, I'm wondering if it is possible, that by monitoring "mempool" of BTC transactions, BitBet can anticipate that the bet address is to be used by
a bettor, so be able to make it exempt from reclaiming the address.

shinohai: But, automatically bitcoin is shady with
a lot of providers even if you are prefectly willing to pay increased prices for service
pete_dushenski: e, providing broadband to
a small city, mining for bitcoin -- but I really don’t care!" -john legere, ceo and president of t-mobile
☟︎ pete_dushenski: "These aren't naive amateurs; they are clever hackers who are willfully stealing for their own selfish gain. It’s
a small group – 1/100 of
a percent of our 59 million customers – but some of them are using as much as 2 terabytes (2,000GB!) of data in
a month. I’m not sure what they are doing with it – stealing wireless access for their entire business, powering
a small cloud servic
pete_dushenski: iirc i just offered him
a btc outright just to play with
pete_dushenski: y'know i can't even recall if i made him that offer before i was in b-
a or not
shinohai: Taleb rejected your offer of
a BTC just to show up?
pete_dushenski wonders if there'd be any action on
a bitbet as to whether taleb shows up here in the next year
pete_dushenski: " Note that it costs only
a few dollars
a day for someone to zap systematically suspicious posters who have not participated on this page before." -herr taleb, apparently learning to deal better with trolls and other internet phenomena
pete_dushenski: 'specially if you're on the wrong side of 50
a la taleb
pete_dushenski: it hasn't brought either of them here yet but the internet's
a big place
assbot: Logged on 31-08-2015 05:03:45; mircea_popescu: anyone got
a link to sexy_saffron s video @ TLP was it ?
punkman: you should sponsor
a hackathon at the local kindergarten
fluffypony: I've been trying to recruit
a 3-year-old from
a few houses down, but the parents keep looking at me funny and taking their kid inside when I bring the paperwork for him to sign
fluffypony: punkman: some 14 year old kid, it's all
a competition to see who has the youngest staff
trinque: this v.py is sublime. I've been playing with it for
a while.
☟︎ mats: the for else construct oughta be replaced with
a list comprehension IMO, re: V-genesis
trinque: feedparser doesn't hand it up as
a parameter
punkman: trinque: try adding
a timeout in the urllib call
trinque: maybe the python RSS guy needs
a timeout; I'll mess with it
trinque: ^ weird, it had
a stuck connection on port 80.
Vexual: he left
a pretty heady resolve
mircea_popescu: who actually went to the trouble of writing
a letter specifically to diss xt and the two shitheads involved.
sexy_saffron: well I'm going to go to bed, but you guys let me know if you want me to do
a custom video! :P sexy_miss_saffron@hotmail.com
gabriel_laddel: nah, more along the lines of "I'm
a programmer" "orly, do you grok lisp? What the primary advantages that haskell's type system provides? Ada's test suite: comments?"
sexy_saffron: ah ok, it did link me to
a message, which decrypted looks like the authentication phrase
tripleslash: when you do the changekey, it'll either send you
a pastebin that you need to decrypt or
a otp that you need to encrypt.
tripleslash: sexy_saffron: [e]changekey is
a two step process. You have to prove you have the private key.
tripleslash: so while auth'd with your bitcoin address, you can do
a ;;changekey or ;;echangekey which will add your gpg
tripleslash: yeah, it looks like you registered
a year ago
mircea_popescu: i've been running
a whore to geek conversion program for
a year now, it's fucking shameful.
thestringpuller: sexy_saffron: but I'm mostly into older games << care to name
a few?
sexy_saffron: that would be
a fun way to use coloured coins :P
mircea_popescu: and then you could have
a vote button, let the readers vote on whether you should be spanked or not for the review.

sexy_saffron: if assbot has
a separate WoT from gribble, does that mean it won't show up on my bitcoin-otc profile?

assbot: Searching pgp.mit.edu for key with fingerprint: D1702BB1EE057FAA3ED134AA922837F6B1FC09A3. This may take
a few moments.
assbot: That does not seem to be
a valid fingerprint.
