asciilifeform: 'Your customer/attacker will send you some bad bitcoins that are only valid on the "old" fork. Hopefully they buy something expensive because you want to LOSE MONEY! You're also going to have to ship them whatever they bought before you realize you have been handed counterfeit money.'
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: 'V. crabro ... Unlike most other vespines, reproductive suppression involves worker policing instead of queen pheromone control as was previously thought.' << srsly ?!
asciilifeform: this kind of thing is part of the daily rhythm around here and is unremarkable.
asciilifeform: i watched with my own eyes groups of 'national student leadership' whateverthefuck marching to audience with obama's reichsminister of whatever (or possibly the fuhrer himself)
asciilifeform: nobody cancelled, note, the bullshit:
asciilifeform: 1937 saw a good bit of 'it' cleaned up.
asciilifeform: there ~was~ 'reddit' running around in 1918. people who ~actually~ thought that nobody needs engineers, any idiot can design a pile of bricks, nobody needs army officer, money, etc.
asciilifeform: the peasant bowed just as he bowed to the old lords.
asciilifeform: and quite definitely '1st gen in shoes'
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: these folks were not even a century out of chattel serfdom
asciilifeform: (lysenko's works, for instance, were never - afaik, to this day - translated)
asciilifeform: the engl translation is new to me, i had nfi that anyone gave a shit
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the material is as plentiful as it is monotonous.
asciilifeform: gonna be a contest where i'm the only runner ?!
asciilifeform: the more i look, the more clear to me that crypto is this radioactive wasteland where even birds no longer sing
asciilifeform: speaking of, any more curios in the block cipher mail ?
asciilifeform: 'block cipher' was a pixie dust creation from day 1. relic from pre-scientific age of cryptoastrology. i think we had this thread..
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu is of course free do define my questions, such as 'do they have the rsa pill', as uninteresting. but i find this position too martian to fully grasp with my puny earthling brain.
asciilifeform: if it were a fully static object, like a pile of bricks, anatomist's job would be unquestionably easier
asciilifeform: which is, in an important way, still alive.
asciilifeform: he isn't even wrong, the bacteria ~are~ helping to 'keep the secrets' by eating the meat
asciilifeform: or the magic codez for the intel amt thing (or what, you think the nsa core is decorative ?! buyan?!)
asciilifeform: (this is also a named document, and 10,001+ copies exist, every maker of electronic junk for usg has it, but it has never been made public afaik)
asciilifeform: another example: official 'tempest' test specs.
asciilifeform: note that i did not say 'the pill for rsa' but a specific archival document that is referred to in 10,001 places in the open usg literature
asciilifeform: my point was that the available evidence (i can name 1,01+ tantalizing s33kr1ts That Make A Difference) that ~never~ have leaked and are guarded by - apparently - incorruptible aryan ss core.
