asciilifeform: 'shards from The True Cross!11'
shinohai: I'm just curious to know if it is genuine item.
shinohai: Asi es ..... I din check out the tor www because, as you see in thread, he insists that one must "Enable javascript in tor browser for complete site functionality"
asciilifeform: shinohai: linked thread not readily distinguishable from rando sc4mz0r
shinohai: tl;dr is instagram had a "bug" that reveled user emails and phone #'s, several celeb accounts are up for grabs, in addition to random nobodies.
asciilifeform: my dosimeter's maxed for the week
asciilifeform: shinohai: plox to summarize ?
shinohai: Meanwhile, I invited the alleged instagram haxor https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1133449 here for an interview and tips on how to keep a website up when "facebook is buying up all the doxagram tld's" ☟︎
asciilifeform: al of money. Apple CEO Tim Cook told his employees that the company is donating $1 million to the SPLC and would match employee contributions two to one. Cook also placed an SPLC donation button in its iTunes store. The company is additionally providing a $1 million donation to the Anti-Defamation League.'
asciilifeform: 'Richard Cohen, president and chief executive officer of the SPLC, was given $346,218 in base compensation in 2015 ..... The SPLC, which claims to boast a staff of 75 lawyers who practice in the area of children's rights, economic justice, immigrant justice, LGBT rights, and criminal justice reform, reported spending only $61,000 on legal services in 2015. Following recent violence in Charlottesville, Va., the group raised a great de
asciilifeform: ank accounts. It is a huge red flag and would have been completely unacceptable to any wealthy, responsible, experienced board member who was committed to a charitable mission who I ever worked with."'
asciilifeform: '"I've never known a US-based nonprofit dealing in human rights or social services to have any foreign bank accounts," said Amy Sterling Casil, CEO of Pacific Human Capital, a California-based nonprofit consulting firm. "My impression based on prior interactions is that they have a small, modestly paid staff, and were regarded by most in the industry as frugal and reliable. I am stunned to learn of transfers of millions to offshore b
a111: Logged on 2017-09-02 13:25 mircea_popescu: (that being the idea here, the shit-piss-licker center isn't suing about "is it ok for a meg ryan wanna-be to try and defraud an old woman into giving her all the moneyz". it's suing about "is it ok for fraudster specializing in old women to be told off by the public if she's defrauding for the dnc!")
asciilifeform: but largely unrelatedly : BingoBoingo ( qntra fodder ? ) , mircea_popescu : https://archive.is/E5Fyk << recent lulz re the http://btcbase.org/log/2017-09-02#1709834 folx ☝︎☟︎
asciilifeform: in all fairness this is much classier than the last 2 nsa резидент we had. we're moving up, folx!11!
shinohai: I'll just wait for the wikileaks, tyvm
asciilifeform: i recommend to kanzure to study the postwar memoirs of heisenberg. he managed to stay off the nuremberg bench by arguing 'none of my shit worked, really', maybe you can too.
kanzure: anyway the most recent output was http://diyhpl.us/wiki/transcripts/gmaxwell-2017-08-28-deep-dive-bitcoin-core-v0.15/
asciilifeform: or already sold to nsa, nm ( speechtronics -- great biznis to be in for infinite usgolade . )
kanzure: asciilifeform: based on this technique http://diyhpl.us/wiki/transcripts/baidu-deep-learning-for-speech-recognition/
asciilifeform: my current impression is that d00d's duties were not originally connected to antibitcoin detail, but to keeping 'biohackers' and other DIY types well-surveilled by fbi , dhs ☟︎☟︎
asciilifeform: betcha the man wears 'gott mit uns' belt buckle, he does. ☟︎
asciilifeform: isn't even shy re regularly visiting, e.g., zurich, to confer with prb 'devs'
asciilifeform: ( re schnorr -- see also http://btcbase.org/log/2017-03-02#1621306 thread ) ☝︎
shinohai: Maybe he'll use that BTC mp gave him to buy a pantsuit with.

asciilifeform: in other noose, the kanzure d00d works and works to transcribe audio for prb 'conferences', e.g. http://diyhpl.us/diyhpluswiki/transcripts/scalingbitcoin/milan/schnorr-signatures , for apparently years nao. ☟︎
asciilifeform: notice how 'everyone' nao thinks 'oh, keccak? that's called sha3 nao'
asciilifeform: be stronger than what was currently available, so it’s hard to understand this post-competition weakening.'
asciilifeform: ' The SHA-3 version of Keccak being proposed appears to provide essentially the same level of security guarantees as SHA-2, its predecessor. If we are going to develop a next generation hash, there certainly should be standardized versions that provide a higher security level than the older hash functions! NIST, in the original call for submissions, specifically asked for four versions in each submission, with at least two that would
asciilifeform: they adopted ~particular params~ of keccak as the new national whatever
shinohai: Notice that happened after nist.gov declared their spec
asciilifeform: check this out, keccak.noekeon.org now forwards to buncha tards
asciilifeform: holyshit the original keccak www is gone ☟︎
asciilifeform: could've sworn it was in the l0gz
mircea_popescu: for one thing, you'd prolly want to run it on the ffa anyway
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: there's an ada keccak published decade ago that was not, at first glance, defective in any obvious way, and is a few pgs. but asciilifeform has not yet formally audited.
mircea_popescu: algorithmic hash function is nice ; accordeoning hash function is nice ; anisotropic hash function would be nice to have.
asciilifeform not yet attempted to work it out
asciilifeform: in particular, to work out what the minimal ( with engineering margin, a la miller-rabin ) number of lubypackets would be.
mircea_popescu: one major point is that other than mpfhf which has been well implemented thanks to peterl, sina and ben_vulpes (and to some degree researched -- speaking of which, still cooking ben_vulpes ?), there's keccak which HASNT yet been implemented much ; and we really could use a fixed-block hash function that's any good. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: anyway. proper tmsr-rsa-signing is still in need of some chewing.
mircea_popescu: (if one's absolutely crazy can declare the function from 511 to 512 bytes, and then split all the packages into 511 byte blocks and hurr.)
asciilifeform: interestingly we don't have any hash function designed from outset to guarantee 0collision 1:1 operation.
mircea_popescu: there's no rule you must have collisions in this kind of hash function.
mircea_popescu: so i'd propose it's not properly speaking hashing in that sense, to take 512 byte blocks and spit out 512 byte blocks.
mircea_popescu: moreover, the relevant "hashing" is when you can have signature shorter than document. neither scheme contemplates that.
asciilifeform: well you can't control the order of transmission, enemy can rearrange the packets. but it doesn't help him any.
mircea_popescu: but yes, no hashing. 8x the signing though
mircea_popescu: see, "any order" is not advantage because you have the original document to provide order ; and the "lose a few" works for enemy here, helps to fake sigs
asciilifeform: that there's it, i think.
asciilifeform: also error-tolerant, by virtue of lubyism, you can afford to lose a few packets, how many depends on what you have left over.
asciilifeform: bonus is that you can transmit them in any order.
asciilifeform: to verify, delubyize the lists L0....Ln and verify the rsa sig on each.
asciilifeform: the longer the sig -- the more bulletproof, computably ( exercise for reader ! )
asciilifeform: the resulting signature is this list of signed solitonizations ( the S can be computed independently , given the original payload P; or can be packaged with the thing for convenience )
asciilifeform: we prepend the indices of the packets that went into each xor, and sign the result.
asciilifeform: now we prepend each L with the seed S
asciilifeform: now you feed S to blumblumshub prng, and generate your soliton distribution. this consists of a series of lists, each of the form {Qa, Qb, ... Qc} where Q_ are indices of the parcels
asciilifeform: it will be treated as parcel 0 ( what this does, will become apparent later )
asciilifeform: P could be a MB, TB, whichever.
asciilifeform: say yer max rsasig payload is R bytes. ( R < key/8 , because padding scheme, exactly how is not necessary to say here yet )
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform consider something like : 1. split item to sign into 512 byte blocks. create block 0 from rng. sign hash(block 0), hash(block 1 + hash(block 0)), hash(block 2 + hash(block 1 + hash(block 0))), and so following.
asciilifeform: i can expand yesterday's item for the l0gz, might help
mircea_popescu is entirely unconvinced how to write it as of yet.
mircea_popescu: a good tmsr-rsa signature write-up can't possibly hurt.
mircea_popescu: anyway. the reason "chickenshit" and nobody cared about paying hoa in 1980 was that there wasn't anything whatsoever to do with the "money" anyway. much like in the us.
shinohai: Nothing quite like having girl curse at you in foreign language whilst throwing dishes. It just sticks!
asciilifeform: and i'm sure he digs trench faster with excavator than with rusty sapper's spade under fire also.
asciilifeform: shinohai: could learn from b00kz , the hard way
shinohai: It appears if I ever want to learn Romanian, I'm just gonna have to find a girl to come live here about a year or so for immersion purposes.
asciilifeform: coincidentally did anybody ever translate http://btcbase.org/log/2017-09-01#1709440 piece ? ☝︎
mircea_popescu: prison term easy to come by.
asciilifeform: still phakt, nobody removed from flat other than for cemetery or prison term.
mircea_popescu: which is how and wherefore all these doods keep shitting their pants, "o noes, mother is upset with me!!1"
mircea_popescu: moreover, nastygrams in communism aren't what you think, chiefly because there's no other plantation and nobody is allowed to own savings or live off them. just like in us.
mircea_popescu: resulted in place of employment being notified and you being pulled before the "Collective" for your "attitude".
mircea_popescu: eh, ask your parents. they paid hoa in 1980.
asciilifeform: and moar like china or the like
asciilifeform: i'm starting to think that mircea_popescu's su-era ro was a very unlike beast from su per se
mircea_popescu: of course they did. had it even during soviet times.
asciilifeform: i dun think they yet invented this scam in orclandia
mircea_popescu: heh. so very artificial, this intelligence.

mircea_popescu: !~google 490 sqft in human terms
asciilifeform: but asciilifeform's research is several yrs old, the last time he turned down various 'come to sf' nonsense
mircea_popescu: yes, but your thinking is in the vein of free image association.
asciilifeform: i dun think 300 buys a doghouse there, within 3 hrs of anywhere.
mircea_popescu: 2-300k will buy you flat "in san francisco, where trains go"
asciilifeform: maybe not by the mausoleum lol but ~in~ moscow, and in places where trains go.
asciilifeform: nah, 300k$ buys you (with title) an actual flat in moscow
mircea_popescu: now, specifically re san francisco, it's not THAT much worse than london/moscow and way the fuck cheaper than shanghai.
asciilifeform: ( if he had moved to montana prolly would have gotten similar cut )
asciilifeform: not the part of usa where employed folx live, lol
mircea_popescu: usa is one of the cheaper.
mircea_popescu: i had nfi taiwan was cheap anyway. isn't that where they stack like sardines, moreso than in london ?
mircea_popescu: sure thang lol.
mircea_popescu: i dunno if i ever recounted that lulz, was a buncha dorks, "um... we would like more money" "that's nice. so would i"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform how is that supposed to work anyway, like argentine's notion of rental agreements, "We decided to increase rent" ?
