mircea_popescu: all these imaginary bitcoin businesses and so on that supposedly support him could make
a pretty penny bettinbg for the thing they allegedly support at 11:1.
punkman: Over
a hundred people were evacuated from an apartment building Tuesday evening after reports of gunshots from the balcony of an apartment. During

Vexual: mircea_popescu: there's always
a way. <im glad KRS1 is alive
shmadz: yeah, this is
a work phone, which is even less secure, so I have to type on it all the time, which probably means everything I
shmadz: grr, can you tell I'm on
a phone? *trinque
shmadz: ok, thanks for your help, and thanks for the !up, I think I'm gonna try
a remote server to manage the keys, and just remote in from the phone? I don't see any secure solution to my problem atm
danielpbarron: reminds me of the failed key signing party at the last porc fest -- the one after which nobody ended up getting their key signed because all the time was taken setting up
a temporary key server when all we had to do was trade fingerprints and sign it later back at home
trinque: man, I dunno that there's
a secure linux either
shmadz: thank you, not the answer I'm looking for, but this makes me think there is an opportunity to make the device I want. why is there not secure Linux that can run on
a phone-like device?
trinque: if you want
a phone which does not track your every step, you will not find it
trinque: which is to say, if you wouldn't do it outside the police station, don't do it on
a phone either
trinque: or otherwise, it's important to note which actions can and cannot be securely taken on
a phone
shmadz: right, I want
a solution that is roughly the same size as Samsung note, and runs native Linux, or some secure version of android, if that even exists
danielpbarron: you can read the log securely from your phone, although even this is much more enjoyable on
a real computer
trinque: shmadz: never trust
a phone with anything you can't afford to lose
trinque: danielpbarron: yeah I use
a similar setup
danielpbarron: you can have "secure cellphone" (just for voice) if you run irc on
a computer that doesn't turn off, and connect to that with your cell phone
trinque: shmadz: no pill is going to secure android on
a cellphone
shmadz: my "real computer" is not with me always. or even often. I was hoping to figure
a way to do secure android?
danielpbarron: keybase is
a way, but you're probably better off getting
a real computer first
shmadz: thank you, I'm trying to figure
a way to do gpg on android platform. is this possible?
decimation: yes when barely half of your able adults are working while 40% are being paid to slack, it's pretty obvious that the whole thing is
a confidence scheme
assbot: Logged on 27-01-2015 05:02:36; mircea_popescu: "The system not only pays poor people, it employs lots and lots of almost poor people. I'm not saying this is
a good thing, or
a desirable thing, I am simply stating
a fact. Some of these are direct government jobs (e.g. staff down at the SSI office) and some are pretend private sector jobs. If you're
a psychiatrist at an inner city clinic, you may think you're an independent contractor, but you're r
trinque: asciilifeform: here's
a better scam; kill the price for
a bit by imploding gox
mircea_popescu: if you have
a deal that says she walks without any money or children, it'll be thrown out.
assbot: Logged on 05-06-2015 03:23:52; asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: pre-nups, as
a general rule, don't work in usa
trinque: that's why they didn't think up
a better scam
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform this is
a very poor excuse for not coming up with better scams.
decimation: asciilifeform: note that this 'marriage' isn't really about
a meal as much as
a fantasy
mircea_popescu: think about that. it's like being in
a bar where you hate everyone to the point you wouldnt buy them
a drink.
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: i look forward to it. my new passport is
a 10-year affair and has some sort of electronics in it. "don't get passport wet, treat like mobile device" it says.
mircea_popescu: what do you suppose ten-twenty twerps can do with enough money to buy isis
a humvee each ?
decimation: usg has promised all of them
a comforatable retirement if they play ball
mircea_popescu is rooting for him, gavin and that radioshow derp getting together and starting
a wallet site or something.
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: upon reflection, alternative is either
a) have one person do everything, or b) 'multisig'
decimation: yeah this is
a point, as long as usd is 'money' they can toy with anyone
decimation: asciilifeform: yeah but if your wealth is in bitcoin, it's not obvious you are
a sheep nor fat
trinque: having too much btc will have
a word like "structuring" pretty soon
trinque: asciilifeform: not
a bad point there
assbot: Logged on 05-06-2015 03:28:58; decimation: it's
a good way to raise children, but lord help you if you marry the wrong woman
decimation: it's
a good way to raise children, but lord help you if you marry the wrong woman
☟︎ assbot: Logged on 05-06-2015 02:48:58; williamdunne: Latest board resolution contains
a line similar to the one in
a couple of MPEX contracts that goes along the lines of "The company deems this contract valid, regardless of the opinion or declaration of any person, regardless of what title that they may choose to fashion themselves with" lol
trinque cannot think of
a single reason he would marry
decimation: greenspun has
a continual rant on the divorce racket
decimation: asciilifeform: yeah, it's
a real thing too I hear. if one of these 8(
a) qualified companies enter bidding, they automatically win
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: i guess i figured that since usa is where they're mostly use, that pre-nups work there. upon reflection, this is
a nonsensical conclusion !
decimation: asciilifeform: also there's supposedly
a super-category for minorities/handicapped/veterans
decimation: Spandrell made another good point in his next post: "Say
a woman that gets
a job before of
a female quota, but is chosen specifically because she isn?t
a loud feminist and does not abuse her legal privilege. Will she ever abandon feminism? Most likely not. After all she owes her job to feminism, even if she had to take
a second sanity test. But she has nothing to win, and quite
a lot to lose from abolishing female quotas."
trinque: "freedom from terrorism" is
a particularly insidious concept
decimation: that's
a great set of clothes. the deer is
a fine horse, etc
decimation: In the West of course we have Hans Christen Andersen?s tale about the kid and the emperor?s new clothes. The funny part is it?s fiction. And the story is just about
a child, who having
a pure heart, dares to say the truth against the powerful.
danielpbarron: ah, stupid gribble doesn't send it till i send him
a command
williamdunne: 1 BTC will hire the local village drunk to bludgeon him with
a stone, to put the poor child out of his misery
KRS1: Can you spare just 1 BTC? Ranji is
a 9yr old boy living in Namibia. He has only 1 leg, 1 arm and 1 eye. Each day he has to ride 7 miles to school along
a narrow road on
a rusty bike with bent wheels, no brakes and only 1 pedal.
pete_dushenski: is ver 'usg' or just
a fucking retard ? doesn't really matter, does it.
