gabriel_laddel: doya have a cv or the like?
williamdunne: IKR, the operator was a friend of mine, but he was very concerned when I sent him the details for a large transaction from themselves to a law firm they employ
williamdunne: gabriel_laddel: About 12 months ago I was tasked with checking the security of a fiat institution. Within three hours I had found two different bugs to send money from accounts that weren't mine, and two different bugs to view all account details that weren't mine, and another to see all transaction details that weren't mine.
gabriel_laddel: Unrelated: Uncle Al's disqus profile. It is a treat. https://disqus.com/by/Xemist/
ascii_field: including aspects that a programmer doesn't give a flying fuck about, like chemistry
ascii_field: in the case of the latter, it is necessary to have a ~complete~ picture of the vital organs
ascii_field: gabriel_laddel: another detail that must be understood is that reversing for the purpose of programming is a very different animal from reversing for the purpose of rebuilding.
ascii_field: not a bribe, but straightforward commerce
assbot: 9 results for 'bribery' : http://s.b-a.link/?q=bribery
ascii_field: it is, after all, a physical object.
gabriel_laddel: ascii_field: imho this is going to be a slow process of ad-hoc reverse engineering of a design, finding chiacom manufactures...
ascii_field: a 'doxxed' fpga is entirely useless if you can't get it!
ascii_field: 'We have enough bits mapped that we can create a functional verilog model for almost all bitstreams generated by Lattice iCEcube2 for the iCE40 HX1K-TQ144, as long as no block memories or PLLs are used. ' << wake me up when that last part changes. and when i can get this chip from ten different chinese foundries.
gabriel_laddel: *a fpga...
ascii_field: thing i'm beginning to suspect is that nobody gives half a shit about reversing, or 'security', or any of it
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: from what i can tell, the 'hackteam' folks were paid hundreds of thousands of euros to do things that i consider a weekend's work
williamdunne: People must care because SJWs signed a petition, wao
mircea_popescu: every kid in a barage gand in 1955 had ear ?
mircea_popescu: yes, playing in a band requires a guitar.
mircea_popescu: are you even from this planet at ALL ? do you know how much can be passed off as work before even as much as touching a tool ?
ascii_field: fact is, monetizing virii requires a крыша
ascii_field: picture what would happen if ~i~ tried to open a 'hackteam'
mircea_popescu: i dunno, seems more like it was a major alleged client.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: usg was a major client
mircea_popescu: you will notice it is not actually a usg contractor. it's a sudanese contractor.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: no, it isn't 'greatest leak ever' - but certainly the most complete gutting of a usg contractor in history
williamdunne was a terrible art student
williamdunne: mircea_popescu: For some reason she looks like a giant
mircea_popescu: tech support at its best is keeping a list of who's fucktarded.
mircea_popescu: a could be
ascii_field: there is a MANIFEST
mircea_popescu: really a distinction without a difference
decimation: they totally know it's not a 'cyber attack'
mircea_popescu: and this is somehow ~not a scam~
ascii_field: jurov: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=08-07-2015#1193305 << if at some point i proposed a thing that requires 'solved halting problem' please say! ☝︎
mircea_popescu: they never saw even a decent salary.
mircea_popescu: dude get out, they're the website of 2015. every two bit 20something schmuck with two friends and a girlfriend has started one, last year.
mircea_popescu: i am sure gabriel_laddel proposed "don't do that" won' cut it with alf - but i am also sure a "sometimes warn before" behaviour would be acceptable.
gabriel_laddel: What happens if I (loop while t do ...) on a von n. arch? it just runs forever. Same thing.
gabriel_laddel: it might be a danger to your health
ben_vulpes: now on one hand that this thing doesn't give programmers any handles to alter test data is fine, in that it forces one to either work in a js repl or you know /actually write tests/
ben_vulpes: one can configure post-commit hooks in git, but their logic importer a) only works with github and b) only works with public repositories.
ben_vulpes: there is a SaaS that handles users for people who for whatever reason don't want to stand up their own services and servers.
ben_vulpes: 'twas a sovietism
gabriel_laddel: what are cat cables and how do I network computers together without a web browser.

assbot: Logged on 08-07-2015 05:16:27; ben_vulpes: * williamdunne currently has a neck that looks like Cheetah fur, lovely patterned bruising << furries, asphyxiation...
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron iirc asciilifeform made a patch
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=08-07-2015#1193020 << sure, this is a fact. ☝︎
danielpbarron: apparently transactions larger than some magic number cannot even get relayed by nodes, and only a miner can forcibly include it in a block
assbot: Homebrew CPUs: Messing around with a J1 - Victor Yurkovsky ... ( http://bit.ly/1gnUJir )
decimation: http://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/2015/07/08/report-big-job-cuts-expected-microsoft/29853657/ "Microsoft's deal to acquire Nokia's handset business in 2013 -- one of the last acts of outgoing CEO Steve Ballmer -- has been a "head-scratcher" from the beginning, says FBR Capital Markets analyst Daniel Ives."
asciilifeform: ries in line... Add to this a double-helping of double standards. The IMF won't lend to Greece because it requires some assurance of repayment; but it will continue to lend to the Ukraine, which is in default and collapsing rapidly, without any such assurances because, you see, the decision is a political one. The European Central Bank no longer accepts Greek bonds as collateral because, you see, it considers them to be junk;
thestringpuller: asciilifeform: when you can use a planet-sized resonator. << each planet would have a different frequency
assbot: Logged on 08-07-2015 12:22:35; funkenstein_: a node with no clock could still be a useful one, depending on what you had in mind
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=08-07-2015#1193162 << can be very useful as a boat anchor! or balloon ballast. ☝︎
thestringpuller: cazalla: BingoBoingo http://www.comcastro.com/podcast-virtual-currency-bitcoin-new-world-order-stevie-frederick/ << i did a qntra shoutout there
punkman: kakobrekla: no, but I've been there a few times

ag3nt_zer0: "But getting the game into a person's hands immediately after they have been raped, for example, won't always be practical, so the team tested whether it could still work a day later – after the memory had been consolidated and slept on." haha
punkman: "The eurozone has given Greece until Thursday to present new proposals to secure a deal with creditors, and has called a full EU summit for Sunday."
trinque: meanwhile they did not do the one thing that might've been interesting (that I can see), which would've been to fire pg_notify events when the results of a given view change

decimation: this crazy czech runs a vaccum-pendulum radio clock http://ok0epb.nagano.cz/index.php?page=Main+page/
asciilifeform: what i meant was, i'd like to see a rational calculation of why the freq.
decimation: actually I suspect the solar wind buffeting the magnetosphere is a factor
asciilifeform: decimation: i'm still waiting to read a non-batshit explanation of schumann
asciilifeform: when you can use a planet-sized resonator.
asciilifeform: essentially you want the entire network to have a 'resonant frequency'
asciilifeform: the solution is to force the miners themselves into behaving like a pendulum with a period from which they, collectively, deviate at their peril.
decimation: at least on a per-block basis
decimation: I have a few sketches for such a thing, but I can't get around the problem of fixed keys that need to be distributed to listeners
decimation: the idea of a crypto-radio-clock intrigues me
asciilifeform: but these do not add up to a trustworthy clock.
asciilifeform: i can tell a zero-diff block and so can you
decimation: which is a reasonable point
asciilifeform: but in a hell, with devils
decimation: at any rate, your objection to coordinating clocks seems to boil down to "can't carry messages of a known latency over spacetime"
ben_vulpes: * williamdunne currently has a neck that looks like Cheetah fur, lovely patterned bruising << furries, asphyxiation... ☟︎☟︎
asciilifeform: but defenseless against a kid with sdr card.
asciilifeform: the thing is a house of cards
asciilifeform: even before you add a war
asciilifeform: for contrast: i just finished a neat little book (ru) on early artillery
ben_vulpes: <ascii_field> want a fucking WALL POSTER << codebase isn't that bad, should be doable by hand :P
asciilifeform: it'll be generations after a sane computer exists that this kind of thinking even gets a chance of drawing to a close.
asciilifeform: 'computer', to an experienced commander, means 'twerp will cast a spell and enemy will walk clean across, shredding you'
asciilifeform: the reason, afaik, why 'defuse with key' did not catch on is a ~well-founded~ distrust of computer
asciilifeform: there is a certain statistic for how many have, e.g., 1sec fuse
mircea_popescu: a 99.999% success rate is the last thing you want.
decimation: apparently some mobster in amsterdam recruited a couple of nerds to exploit shipping companies
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform no, actually, it's a good idea.
asciilifeform: a land mine that has to be rebooted by hand every few weeks is a sad joke.
decimation: http://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/2015-mob-technology-consultants-help-drug-traffickers/ < "The device they built looked like a European version of a power strip. Tucked inside a 15-by-5-inch casing was a tiny Linux computer running powerful hacking software called Metasploit. The pwnie sent out data via cellular networks, which meant they could be accessed from anywhere."
ben_vulpes: and they *can* bless a pogo.
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: you need a million tyler durdens.
assbot: [OPEN] Parasitic P2P Relay on Trilema - A blog by Mircea Popescu. ... ( http://bit.ly/1NNaB8D )
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: many, many more people who can 'commandeer' a broom closet with ethernet
