assbot: I am one of the millions affected by the OPM hack | Fusion ... ( http://bit.ly/1R0F5Ew )
punkman: don't think I've tried that one
cazalla: i don't mind a bit of holy flax too
cazalla: i'm feeling so good i even banged the missus twice and here i thought it was cause i long ago grew tired of her, must've been the booze after all
cazalla: i had another sober weekend so half way there to a sober month of June ☟︎

cazalla: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=14-06-2015#1163790 <<< c'mon, i even dropped it back to once a month instead of the twice monthly update.. i find the mining diff stuff interesting in anycase ☝︎
Vexual: i dont think theyd grow here, never see wild ones
punkman: not too often, I got a box of them fattening up though
Vexual: if i cant find purslane?
punkman: I do have a piece left, maybe for lunch
trinque: decimation: I've heard it called "stealing your stolen from" around here, and it's exactly on the mark
trinque: decimation: I grant that
trinque: though the "I" in the sentence may not be the speaker
trinque: I might revise that further to "I shall force you to behave as though there were such a thing as a social contract."
trinque: that doesn't mean that I acknowledge it
decimation: if your point is that your salvation is involuntary, I don't think that is correct, but Christians do disagree on this point
trinque: so I'm his bondslave for life according to this or that interpretation of folk legends
funkenstein_: I'm not sure what the social contract is. As you point out, I didn't sign it
trinque: if I haven't signed something, it has been forced upon me
funkenstein_: i find it easier to talk about tax regimes
decimation: I would probably setting for a 'modern state' that did its best to cultivate the quality of its human potential, rather than treating it like an infinite resource
trinque: I don't disagree
trinque: neither can I
decimation: trinque: no doubt, I can imagine lots of other structures, but I just don't see how groups of people who need to do business together can get away from some kind of central coordinating mechanism for certain tasks
trinque: I'd be happy to see it go if the rest were also in the bathwater
trinque: this monstrous, bureaucratic "modern state" which infiltrates every aspect of life is to whom I refer
decimation: trinque: yes, and the implication quickly becomes "I sit in my mud hut with my ak and you sit in yours"
trinque: in the absence of a central authority dictating that there shall be a fire dept, I wouldn't expect that the need to put out fires would vanish along with it
decimation: I guess. when your house is on fire are you gonna look through your rolodex?
assbot: 'I love being a call girl - I'm in control,' boasts fallen child genius | Daily Mail Online ... ( http://bit.ly/1HHZ4at )
decimation: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-557568/I-love-girl--Im-control-boasts-fallen-child-genius.html < smart folks are maybe also not always wise? ☟︎
BingoBoingo: Fupa Duped https://i.imgur.com/s4OD455.jpg ☟︎
ben_vulpes: i have a spare robe for him
jurov: maybe I should invite dude here to "inner cult" :D
jurov: dunno why I find it so funny ☟︎
jurov: the last link i posted
punkman: I like turtles
funkenstein_: the turtle i mean
asciilifeform: i thought it was a block of rust ?
trinque: I think I found one https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CHUMlfeUMAAekLc.jpg:large
mircea_popescu: i think it's liable to go the same place - state's exactly as dead today as monarchy was in 1803
trinque: and I wonder how long the other players will put up with our paranoid, incoherent moves against them
mircea_popescu: i am kind of curious why neither are going for the "peace keeping" thing
jurov: i am wearing electronics on my ears all day, so i've got a tollerance. but saw nothing appealing so far
trinque: it will be a very long time before I implant electronics in my body, if ever
jurov: yes, i have read about e-ink tattoo. but all such things fall into uncanny valley together with google glass
mircea_popescu: anyway, i see a point to actually signifying tattoos, those queen of spades ankle stuff, or the russian cat or whatever.
mircea_popescu: i suspect worthless argentines tryin to act brazilian tough
mircea_popescu: actually the only tattoo i ever saw that i thought was cool,
asciilifeform: i've wondered what kept various floodgates of shit, hypothesized in fiction of the past, shut. e.g., 'rent-free' flats with walls covered in stomach-churning blinking advertisements 24/7, pensions in return for forehead tatoos of 'coca cola', etc.
mircea_popescu: i dun think it cares.
asciilifeform: now that i think about it...
asciilifeform: i wondered, often, if most 'coke' drinkers simply amortized the lost coins, mentally
mircea_popescu: but when i tried that you said "it is a mistake to ask"
asciilifeform: i.e. the secrets are sufficiently cheap (not of cosmic significance)
asciilifeform: i must point out that i have sat on both sides of this (entirely absent) bench. both in search of secrets, ~and~ sitting on a small stash of 0days that will be buried with me ☟︎
mircea_popescu: anyway, by "magical dragon" i meant what you seem to mean by "wizard" just ftr.
asciilifeform: i'm not certain that it does require it
asciilifeform: the question of 'how do i know this candy dispenser contains candy and won't simply eat my key' is to be resolved using popescutronium (substance which powers atomic dirigible)
mircea_popescu: then again... the past 50 years would look a lot different if i were actually right.
mircea_popescu: i am inclined to believe the solution to this problem is psychanalisis not software development.
asciilifeform: very often, the secret in question is in possession of folks who presently have ~no~ way to monetize it - i am speaking specifically of amateurs who pwned, by way of idle exploration, the target - but are not in a 'k00l d00dz wot' where they can safely sell the result to anyone
asciilifeform: say i have a chip, from a certain vendor, for which no public documentation is known. it nominally allows firmware to be written, but not read back (most microcontroller vendors feature this.) i connect it to a programmable i/o board, and say 'supply the signals that cause it to spit out fw.'
mircea_popescu: i may be too slow for how fast this conversation has become, so gimme an example
asciilifeform: really? i'da thought human power is too expensive
asciilifeform: i.e., if some bozo announces the box, no one plays, but if mircea_popescu does - possible
mircea_popescu: ah, i wasn't. an' i'm not about to link the theory wqith the practice formally yet.
asciilifeform: i was speaking specifically of an automated system (riding on wot, naturally, for the 'why should i potentially waste valuable $secret' bit)
mircea_popescu: well you might have noticed i AM making experiments in that province.
asciilifeform: the reason i asked is not that i was whacked with a club over the head and turned into a tard overnight, but that instead i was thinking of certain very limited special cases of jurov's suggested '0day prize box'
asciilifeform: it is trickier than first appears, because 'i want the s00p3r-s33kr1t floor plan for $fpga' is turing-complete (that is, whether the trade was an honest one is not resolvable by machine)
mircea_popescu: the connection i see is that the proposition of this market is about as silly as the proposition of the trivia bot. there are fundamental differences between what a market is and what an assassination market is.
asciilifeform: i'd -like- to think there is a connection. just not sure what it is, quite yet.
assbot: Logged on 14-06-2015 01:46:51; HeySteve: yes, I was thinking trivia contests - maybe for BTC - would be fun
asciilifeform: i should hope to produce 1.2MB of something worth keeping before i'm buried
mircea_popescu: i think it was 3.11
mircea_popescu: i had a batch of 100 out of which 30 died the first write
mircea_popescu: but also very variant. i had one that was good for hundreds of rewrites over a year
assbot: Logged on 14-06-2015 01:16:01; kakobrekla: meh i recall 'burning' a game at friends house to ~20 floppies, only to find ~5 not working when arrived home.
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=13-06-2015#1163646 << i kinda lolled. ☝︎
assbot: Logged on 13-06-2015 22:18:10; kalki: ok well I just subbed 2 special characters and then generated... it happened really fast... I thought it was supposed to take quite a bit of time but it appears to have generated in less than 5 seconds...?
assbot: Logged on 13-06-2015 21:59:34; kalki: thanks... ok so in attempting to set up my first gpg account, I am following the guide from contravex... so I am using the 5 dice coupled with the englich passphrase word list. So, I did 10 tosses, got the words, but then after entering, the gpg client tells me it is a weak pw as it contains no special characters. I read somewhere on Trilema not to change ANYTHING from what I get from the dice toss... so just
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=13-06-2015#1163620 << the idea was to not change the words, as in "these five came out but i'ma use these other five instead because htey're eaiser to remember" ☝︎
HeySteve: yes, I was thinking trivia contests - maybe for BTC - would be fun ☟︎
HeySteve: hello. kakobrekla, I wanted to speak to you about a trivia bot
kakobrekla: perhaps i could do w/o usb as well
kakobrekla: but i dont have a cdrom in any computer either
asciilifeform: kakobrekla: gonna end up like me, i had to buy a brand-new one last week
kakobrekla: if i keep everything that comes through my hands i will suffocate
kakobrekla: and also, i recently trashed about 5 floppy drives, prolly all in working condition.
kakobrekla: meh i recall 'burning' a game at friends house to ~20 floppies, only to find ~5 not working when arrived home. ☟︎
punkman: all I get is the loading strobe
ben_vulpes: <asciilifeform> how many three-legged tables, chairs ? << i for one would rather have three-legged furniture: 3 points define a plane; any more and you have an overconstrained and rocking system
punkman: "when I was at Visa, I was leading an R&D group on Machine Learning that was experimenting with Hadoop for near real-time analytics of purchases. anyway we worked a year on that thing, and it was awesome, but one day we get invited by another group at Visa who want to show us something ‘amazing'."
pete_dushenski: cazalla: lol i guess i'm one of those unreasonable assholes who doesn't understand how the world works
pete_dushenski: i haven't used the newest mac version, but it doesn't usually take that long
kalki: ok well I just subbed 2 special characters and then generated... it happened really fast... I thought it was supposed to take quite a bit of time but it appears to have generated in less than 5 seconds...? ☟︎
kalki: jurov, funkenstein, ok and thanks again I shall proceed
funkenstein_: no prob :) I have only one, it's easier that way. But if you want another distinct identity you can make as many as you want.
