shinohai: I'm sure it is a good thing for someone with far more experience with this sort of thing than I. :/
shinohai: I was trying to do a stator pogo build on Debian.
trinque: jurov: according to quick googling, an admin will have to remove me from a blocklist in the "membership management" page
ben_vulpes: in particular, "“[I’m looking for] 5:1 (risk /reward). Five to one means I’m risking one dollar to make five. What five to one does is allow you to have a hit ratio of 20%. I can actually be a complete imbecile. I can be wrong 80% of the time, and I’m still not going to lose.”" ☟︎
assbot: A Dozen Things I’ve Learned from Paul Tudor Jones About Investing and Trading | 25iq ... ( http://bit.ly/1Mwrgjy )
ben_vulpes: http://25iq.com/2015/07/25/a-dozen-things-ive-learned-from-paul-tudor-jones-about-investing-and-trading/ << we haven't done much investment philosophy since tat and the samovar readings...
trinque: makes sense, intermittent bursts of packets vs a constant stream
ascii_field: (in the latter, there is always a chance that victim - notices)
trinque: or rather, who needs to collect data from anywhere other than the devices around a target
trinque: just means whatever they're doing now, they've got a bullshit legal argument for why it isn't "bulk" ☟︎
ascii_field: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/act-four/wp/2015/05/29/the-uber-ization-of-porn << i distinctly remember seeing that photo before - in a mircea_popescu link ??
trinque: the first; I don't give a shit about the second.
shinohai: If you leave enough monkeys in a room full of typewriters, they shall reproduce the works of Shakespeare
ascii_field: so shinohai is a winner! first fella to repeat 'rotor' ?
shinohai: OS Debian 8. Built a binary just fine but it doesn't run. :/
assbot: Logged on 28-07-2015 12:22:21; jurov: there's a nutjob apocalyptic-prepper shortwave station, with 5-euro receivers widely available they seem to get some audience
ascii_field: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=28-07-2015#1215105 << one can get something other than a small bottle of water for 5 eur ? ☝︎
assbot: Logged on 28-07-2015 10:35:43; mircea_popescu: hey can go on pretending like they're making a salary when they're not actually being paid.
assbot: Logged on 28-07-2015 09:47:42; kakobrekla: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=28-07-2015#1214671 < haha im sorry, since when is a mobile phone nothing but a toy?
ascii_field: the binary is a full MB smaller than glibc stator, too
decimation: and jurov is right, there are plenty of fairly successful shortwave pirates, apparently because nobody gives a fuck
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=28-07-2015#1214940 << but this is why he was funny : a fool representative of the current generation. if he were dressed in the fool of the 1700s we'd think he's pagliacci and mistake it all for high culture. ☝︎
assbot: Logged on 28-07-2015 04:16:21; phf: a bottle of stoly will cost you $200 just to get a table, and then $500 for dom perignon and things like that. 2007 or so it was chick to order top shelf, open them, and then not drink them, i.e. have a bunch of bottles barely touched, just because you could
assbot: Logged on 28-07-2015 04:12:17; coderwill: why, in the lottery of life is one born to be able to spend $241K at a club, and another, by solely being born in a different lat/long only perhaps earning $241 after working for 6-9 months
mircea_popescu: the fact that he couldn't get it up aptly reflected in the fact that nobody ended up with a mouthfull of ballsac for derping about how "he's racist" etc.
jurov: there's a nutjob apocalyptic-prepper shortwave station, with 5-euro receivers widely available they seem to get some audience ☟︎
mircea_popescu: a monopoly is a monopoly. it is not better somehow magically for "being justified". it takes no justification whatever past the very simple test of its existence.
assbot: Logged on 28-07-2015 04:00:32; phf: the question at the end of the day is, what to transmit. pirate in question had a pretty fixed, pkd-ish narrative. how many people would tune in and go "huh, that's so fucking cool, a crazy anarchis broadcast." just to tune out few minutes later
mircea_popescu: the controlling issue being, that no one may ~prevent~ you from speaking, provided a silence for your speech was made by the people. but there god damned shan't nor should be a mechanism to MAKE that silence so you may speak.
mircea_popescu: nor is there, nor was there ever, nor will there exist for as long as fucking life on earth a "right to speak". freedom to speak, yes, but this is very fucking different.
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=28-07-2015#1214859 << reason being "can't be arsed". generally this sort of thing is kept as a reserve measure. just like i go "unless you straighten up missy there's that inch thick stick over there by the wall", putin goes "if you block rt i'ma drop pirate radios all over the us" ☝︎
assbot: Logged on 28-07-2015 03:52:09; phf: there was a guy at DC network security meetups who broadcasted fm anarchist radio from his van. he'd park it in random downtown locations, etc. i believe he's been picked up and fined more then once. that was 2003 or so, probably can't get away with something like this now.
BingoBoingo: w3m is also a nice web browser for shoving into other places like emacs
shinohai: A lot of features I need to get up to speed on but it's nice.
shinohai: I like w3m a lot
assbot: 0 results for 'Dmail' : http://s.b-a.link/?q=Dmail
assbot: Logged on 28-07-2015 03:12:30; asciilifeform: my current understanding is that 'imsi catcher' is an artifact specifically of the bureaucratic side of usg. intercept at the tower, where the bits hit a land line, is trivial and no one has to leave his chair - but the paperwork is annoying. hence squaddie and 'catcher'
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=28-07-2015#1214690 << yes it's basically an artefact of parallel construction. has absolutely nothing to do with reality, just a legal fiction. ☝︎

shinohai: I got your personal email that you sent, but you said you had a bug to fix on trilema iirc
shinohai: I emailed you about subscription a few weeks back. I determined my browser is just an asshole
shinohai: If there was a print version of trilema and qntra, I'd swear I'd subscribe.
mircea_popescu: you have a license to save the pages on your own hard drive, not to publish them on your own web server.
mircea_popescu: but you don't have a license to republish trilema.
mircea_popescu: or was your idea of "a copy for personal use" somehow morphed into "i'm just going to steal this dude's site and put it online" ?
assbot: Request successful, get your OTP: http://w.b-a.link/otp/8176294277335aa7
assbot: You rated user asciilifeform on 30-Nov-2013, with a rating of 5, and supplied these additional notes: 4 First man to factor a 4096 RSA key in the history of computing..
assbot: Logged on 28-07-2015 02:54:13; asciilifeform: conceivably the three deps ought to be a package each
mircea_popescu: chiefly through reintroducing the "died a horrible painful death through not having had the golden blessed opportunity of there being any learned persons able or willing to scream at him"
assbot: Logged on 28-07-2015 02:41:28; trinque: lost on most is the value of being yelled at by a learned person.
assbot: Logged on 28-07-2015 02:40:53; asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=28-07-2015#1214541 << folks who actually do work are not ever, as a matter of deliberate policy, let anywhere near a mainstream microphone
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=28-07-2015#1214608 << i know. it is getting broken, this. also deliberately, only by a much greater force than anything "the western world" could ever muster. ☝︎
assbot: Logged on 28-07-2015 02:34:59; phf: of course you can't cook coffee with a samovar, nor make tea with ibrik, so it's apples and oranges anyway
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=28-07-2015#1214595 << a) that's a horrid illustration to use right aftetr the "civilised gathering" ; b) electric ones are a joke anyway - you use smokleess charcoal/embers from your fireplace to heat it ; c) of course it can make coffee. ☝︎
assbot: Logged on 28-07-2015 02:30:46; phf: ibrik still requires a source of heat, and next thing you know you're trying to buy a hovoli machine from turkey
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=28-07-2015#1214588 << he has a point, all attempts to heat water sooner or later reduce to a half assed, poorly specified, wasteful and buggy reimplementation of a samovar. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: (ps - it's not incidental all the examples are women. this is very strictly a female mental issue)
mircea_popescu: ego trips being of course an economic surplus phenomenon, and the us being pretty much wrung out of any sort of surplus whatsoever, expect a lot of such arguments to come.
mircea_popescu: hey can go on pretending like they're making a salary when they're not actually being paid. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: in any case, that's denton's unforgivable crime : that he pointed out to the anal children that their self-delusions are not only impossible, and not only ridiculous. they're actually NOT FOOLING ANYONE. such an ego wound is intolerable, and you can fully expect "the entire blabla" to walk out in a fury. because they were only "working" for gawker to protect this particular egotastic trip, nothing ewlse. which is why t
mircea_popescu: that last one is especially indicative, she's made a career such as it is out of depicting herselv, which is to say, aging stupid woman with delusions of "intellectual", a sort of julia a moore of the current generation. except that in 1930 the opriginal was a laughingstock, and today every other female is basically wiig in a slightly varied color scheme.
assbot: Logged on 28-07-2015 02:21:19; decimation: why else would you buy a newspaper?
kakobrekla: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=28-07-2015#1214671 < haha im sorry, since when is a mobile phone nothing but a toy? ☝︎☟︎
asciilifeform: it is also important to note that it is a ~heat engine~
assbot: Logged on 25-02-2015 16:31:47; asciilifeform: this is, by some indications, a non-renewable resource that's getting burned up rather quickly
phf: but i've personally not seen a single instance of "taleb's library" in anywhere around capitol hill
asciilifeform: phf: the ultimate pleasure is perhaps to pay a servant to pour the bottle directly into a (field-portable, in the back of limo) golden pissoire.
phf: a bottle of stoly will cost you $200 just to get a table, and then $500 for dom perignon and things like that. 2007 or so it was chick to order top shelf, open them, and then not drink them, i.e. have a bunch of bottles barely touched, just because you could ☟︎
phf: i've seen a some american univ arabs burn 20-30k a night at k street clubs on bottle service, and that's dc. i can imagine you can do some serious damage in new york clubs
coderwill: why, in the lottery of life is one born to be able to spend $241K at a club, and another, by solely being born in a different lat/long only perhaps earning $241 after working for 6-9 months ☟︎
asciilifeform: one could run a very serviceable harem for 250k
asciilifeform: 'In 2006, then-Savvis Inc. Chief Executive Robert McCormick earned the nickname “lap dunce” from the New York Daily News after being accused of charging a $241,000 topless-club bill to his corporate credit card.' << i seriously dun get it
decimation: asciilifeform: yeah a particularly lulzy strategy
asciilifeform: decimation: clever man uses sixteen of'em in a circle around the american general, let him shoot himself with own rocket
asciilifeform: 'Berrett also used his company credit card to spend $131.08 with Interactive Life Forms, parent company of sex-toy maker Fleshlight, and listed the purchase as exam test prep questions, the indictment says. Berrett paid $226.50 for a wine shipment from the Gold Medal Wine Club, listing the purchase as a “Bribe for the UNIX guys.”'
decimation: yeah it takes a special idiot to use strong gps jammer in a usg free-fire zone
assbot: Logged on 11-06-2014 01:10:57; asciilifeform: a tale was once told to me by one fellow 'in the know': russia sold gps jammers (serious ones, not the chinese pocket gizmos off ebay) to iraq, shortly prior to '03 american invasion. but iraq didn't pay the full invoice. so, the vendor neglected to remind the buyer that they must be arranged in a ring pattern and operated in unison
phf: the question at the end of the day is, what to transmit. pirate in question had a pretty fixed, pkd-ish narrative. how many people would tune in and go "huh, that's so fucking cool, a crazy anarchis broadcast." just to tune out few minutes later ☟︎
asciilifeform: bring a 'rtl-sdr' into the city, and see

coderwill: it would be like playing an iphone speaker in the middle of a packed sports arena
asciilifeform: or a mircea_popescu
decimation: yes, a decentralized network is possible
coderwill: phf: yeah, would be surprised if not in a federal minimum security penitentiary if still doing that kind of stuff
phf: there was a guy at DC network security meetups who broadcasted fm anarchist radio from his van. he'd park it in random downtown locations, etc. i believe he's been picked up and fined more then once. that was 2003 or so, probably can't get away with something like this now. ☟︎
decimation: coderwill: if you are consistently interfering with a radio station, fcc vans will show up
trinque: shape of the "midlands" is absurd, and maybe "el norte" is a bit on the small side.
trinque: https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/govbeat/wp/2013/11/08/which-of-the-11-american-nations-do-you-live-in/?postshare=8761438046638004 << would not be a terrible revision.
coderwill: another one, is people broadcasting illegally on a frequency
assbot: Page not found - How to Make a $19 Police Scanner ... ( http://bit.ly/1HWUKCN )

decimation: congress passed a law after newt was intercepted by two democrat 'activists' http://articles.philly.com/1997-04-24/news/25530818_1_gingrich-investigation-ethics-probe-cellular-phone
coderwill: also, i remember 10 or so years ago, you used to be able to get a scanner and rabbit ears and listen to people talking on their cordless phones, but you can't do that anymore either
decimation: project-25 is a dual-waveform standard with 4-fsk and qpsk
coderwill: i know out in the country, you used to be able to pickup police with a scanner
asciilifeform: decimation: i did for a while, bored myself to tears
coderwill: and that an amulance or squad car, for example, is just a big mobile hotspot
asciilifeform: on account of a great many folks carrying just such
