mircea_popescu: is
that
the fertile soil of afghanistan, from back in
the day a different empire was going
there
to die ?
BHopkins: I can confirm 100% chance of newb
to PGP
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo i dun
think so ;
tho it has happened before.
BingoBoingo smells 30% chance of newcomer private key paste in
the wind
mircea_popescu: that's
the whole point, by proving you can decrypt something encrypted
to your key you prove you are you.
BHopkins: !!v QIMA74TC/9ZkuPbAQ//dXLWRcdua3d38yoq2bMrc85MfX6m1b2GsyLG7zi82yJw a2JML9jdmUs9XFJwc9JMdY5bqWNLSJDIN9EWErKP5NtjpQv2f4thKANgoE0h4xBD 8AswzFMyL2o1yMhc9Wqs6ErsK9doPyw2HQToBGe/xiq9Up9s0AkYwci4Qe/8cTlE yYe8UIlXMcOfGdeNjUKb5GEBEFaIAa6SrxiHZ7Tly1o1wHzIMqIg7mhm/2iaE7yP

BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Could be
they decide Baden Powel was racis and colonialist, and Charlottesville his statues
BingoBoingo: shinohai: You don't understand.
Two completely seperate organizations.
The girl scouts are already
threatening lawyers!
shinohai: Well see BingoBoingo, I figure its only a matter of
time before
they DO allow cookie sales and boys
to wear brownie uniforms if
they wish.
BingoBoingo: In other, lesser struggles in
the republic: I now have
to decide if I care enough
to contest speeding
ticket in Appelate court
shinohai: inb4
traps start selling me cookies
BingoBoingo: In other news of
the day, In USia girls can now be boyscouts
BHopkins: It just says "Get your OTP" and
then gives me a key. What do I do with
that key?
BingoBoingo: It's ok, as long as you stay more responsive
than Serbia
mircea_popescu: BHopkins say /query deedbot
then say !!up
to it and decrypt its challenge.
mircea_popescu: mmm. it's not a matter of sharing expertise as such. it's a matter of breaking
the fake media, let's say.
BHopkins: If not cleaning up
the SERPs, was
the idea
to just share your expertise?
BHopkins: Ok great, we briefly
talked about marketing and interviews. Did you want
to do a series of interviews?
BHopkins: I draw
the line at
the dark web. bitcoin, PGP, what's next? :)
mircea_popescu: i'll rate you, which means you'll be able
to self-voice so i don't have
to keep patching it half hour at a
time.
shinohai: Ah Yahoo .... I was able
to upload a BEeF hook inside an ad
there once, no one batted an eye.
mircea_popescu: BHopkins well, so get one. no way
to do private communications without pgp. also no good way
to have an identity online.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
they're mostly all based on user idiocy, clicks links ends up windows'd.
BHopkins: Vaguely, but not enough
to have used it.
BHopkins: Don't be
too judgmental of journalist "interns". I create some of
those for our marketing purposes :)
mircea_popescu: you mean other
than a bevy of
the younger "journalist" interns realising
they're wasting
their
time in office clothes in new york and joining me naked in costa rica ?
BHopkins: If not cleaning up
the negative aspects of
the search results, what would be your end goal?
mircea_popescu: given
the situation in
the field, interviews are probably
the only workable approach.
mircea_popescu: no,
traditionally
the job is
to either get interviews placed if
the client is smarter
than
the press, or else
to get reviews/testimonials/etc placed if
the press is smarter
than
the client.
mircea_popescu: BHopkins nah. i personally couldn't care less about "bad"
things. for one
thing, i've yet
to meet
the entity intelligent
to say something meaningfully bad about me.
mircea_popescu: kinda why it's important
to develop correct conveniences.
BHopkins: MP from what I understand, you're looking
to clean up your search results?
mircea_popescu: also allows
to record something not before recorded : intention-to-pay.
BHopkins: I almost feel a little dirty not playing by
the conventional rules of money :)
mircea_popescu: BHopkins will be processed later
today ; at which point -- congrats, your first bitcoin!
BHopkins: That's what CoinBase is
telling me...I clicked
the "Receive" in
the BTC Wallet section
shinohai: I could payroll South American camhoes for a year on
that lol
BHopkins: I
think I did it right: 12taDFRdimNTHx1xoUkUZWj3nrE4js6LM6
☟︎☟︎ BHopkins: I had
to look up
the current price, and
the answer is yes :)
☟︎ BHopkins: Nope, no bitcoin yet for me. But I've worked with a few other companies in
this industry over
the years.
BHopkins: As for my recommendation, we're not
trying
to educate
the general public
through
the search results. What we want
to do is ensure
they only find positive information when
the search for a keyword.
BHopkins: @asciilifeform stock
trading has sites like
tradingschools.org
that are essentially one mans negative opinions on everything except what he's selling.
mircea_popescu: (bill lawsky was
this sort of mini-preet bharara, however briefly, meanwhile... retired.)
BHopkins: I've worked in
this vertical a few different
times, along with other verticals
that have similar issues.
shinohai munches on
tea and biscuits, likes where
this
thread is going ......
mircea_popescu: this is a ridiculous state of affairs, and it will have
to be returned
to normalcy.
mircea_popescu: here's
the gist of
the problem : when rando, such as for instance bill lawsky, stands up and says "we made
these rules" bla bla, nobody in
those verticals springs up
the obvious "what proof do you have". if i say "i destroyed ETH/BCH/whatever, and here's
the proof"
the same nobodies come up with contorted nonsense like "ok but what proof do you have your proof is proofing?!?!?"
BHopkins: End of
the day,
the results are what we're looking for
BHopkins: Much better...In a nutshell, we do what gets results and what works. Sometimes
that is high quality content, but other
times, it's lower quality link building.
mircea_popescu: let us rephrase
then. "whereas
the perception in silicon valley spam farms, like facebook, huffpo, reddit, wikipedia etc".
mircea_popescu: aha. so :
there's a bit of mismatch here, whereby
the republic is powerful and rich, whereas
the perception in usg owned peon farms is disjunct.
BHopkins: Exactly! We suppress negative listings and replace
them with positive and controllable assets.
mircea_popescu: so
this orm
thing... is it what
they call old style media agencies ? a sort of ogilvy&mather for
the internet age ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform same here lmao. girl's been raising hell over
there apparently.
mircea_popescu: not assume independence, not merely outsource
the burden of proof
to government, etc.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform but have
to keep astrology classes separate.
then within any class, yes value function=1 for all items.
a111: Logged on 2017-09-29 00:14 mircea_popescu: whereas in
the correct, crypto-relevant understanding of "hash is hard", what is said is "B can make grounded promise
that his effort will require at least X work"
a111: Logged on 2017-10-11 16:41 asciilifeform: i dun buy
the 'no one has proven rsa
to be hard so it dun matter how
to implement it, let's use wet noodles and dried shit' argument.
a111: Logged on 2017-07-08 03:49 asciilifeform: i just counted gpg 1.4.10 : 156,436 loc -- and
that ain't counting
the autoconf liquishit, or
the libs it pulls in
mircea_popescu: "LibrePlanet was held March 25-26 in Cambridge, Massachusetts at
the Stata Center on
the campus of MIT." << whole story.
mircea_popescu: incidentally, by now
the
tmsr schadenfreunde is probably peaking. all sorts of wanna-be groups
that "have been doing it for longer" and bla bla.
BingoBoingo: That happens at later screening.
The igarment.net people seem
too impressively
targeted
to be
Telestra so far.
mircea_popescu: so you'd
think. but
then how many esl azns do you bed, cuz nobody speaks
the
truth outside
the bedroom.
BingoBoingo: Eh,
there's still some pretty legit spelling azns working on making numbers
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo basically,
the difference between orcs and niggers is
that
the niggers know
they're niggers,
the orcs still have delusions.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform:
This one was Pacnet, suggesting at least Pacific regional
thing. Yet "Channel Director, East Region" of
Telestra answered inquiry with "40 Wall Street, Floor 44, New York, NY 10005" in his signature
mircea_popescu: in
the sense
the 1985 market was similar
to
that from 1975, except all
the "make your own computer" boxes were now made by ibm
