williamdunne: Citizenfive: Mircea just offered you
a rating, and
a compliment to go with it.
☟︎ Citizenfive: Trinique wins, with bonus points. I usually use the bit about knowing the name of
a bird.
trinque: the magnetism one came to mind because he goes from
a superficial understanding of the thing to
a deeper and deeper description, ultimately saying "we have no idea"
trinque: Citizenfive: reminds me
a bit of the vid where he discusses magnetism
Citizenfive: I guess that, and more critically, amoung its users, I see too much overreliance on it (which is to say, people who don't fully grip the CAPS&LIMS of it as
a tool)
danielpbarron: the identity doesn't have to be tied to
a slave name
trinque: why in hell would I communicate with you using something that requires I create
a (for all reasonable measures) permanent identity
Citizenfive: Without searching, if he tells me [user X] also uses it properly, I would probably trust that. All subject to the extent that I trust MP's intentions and motivations, which is sorta the point of
a WoT
Citizenfive: fuck's sake, the WoT is fine, lol; it too is
a tool
trinque: danielpbarron: there is
a place for non-WoT authenticated communication
Citizenfive: The visual breaks down, but I'm amenable to
a solution that uses both pegs in some way.
Citizenfive: Both are very good tools. At present, I see many solutions trying to fit the square peg of PGP into the gaping goatse of "maintaining OPSEC in an adverse environment of well-heeled adversaries". That is, it fits, but
a large round peg, perhaps OTR, would allow less... spillage.
trinque: the latter is
a feature one could use or not
trinque: well there's
a distinction between saying "I am connected to the node I think I am"
Citizenfive:
A properly-done "better IRC" would pretty much fix most objections I have with the current WoT, btw
trinque: if it passes messages between nodes as described, and does that perfectly, that's
a fantastic place to stop, then build separate things which make use of that
trinque: it should be done at
a certain point, not
a katamari of features
williamdunne: trinque: Maybe, if it works well then awesome. Will be
a great thing. But seems like it could end up more hassle than it is worth
trinque: williamdunne: I think the idea is eventually to have
a full stack within the WoT
☟︎ williamdunne: danielpbarron: What reason would that matter in particular? All our messages are public anyway. I doubt your OS was written exclusively by
a member of the WoT (even if you did compile it yourself)
trinque: williamdunne: of course, I'm asking
a more fundamental question about "why the hell still mostly centralized services using HTTP"
williamdunne: trinque: Convenience, everything on here is completely public anyway so no use in
a subpoena.
trinque: the idea that
a forum is something which is hosted in one particular place instead of distributed among its members is absurd
cazalla: BingoBoingo wrote on it, might have
a better recollection of events than i
cazalla: williamdunne, no doubt he's in
a difficult situation but with the last one, he wasn't even going to mention anything and had to be convinced to provide additional information to the public if memory serves
williamdunne: If you send messages in cleartext on
a forum run in the US, I'm not sure what more can be expected
Citizenfive: Yeah. Seemed to have
a specific reason, too. I don't expect I'm
a regular conversation topic.
☟︎ Citizenfive: whatever I write here was indeed *probably* the same persona. At this very second that is less certain than it will be, from
a Bayesian perspective, as time goes on and Twitter C5 behaves normally. Make sense?
Citizenfive: Yes. The above link from Twitter, if you think about it, is stonger evidence that I am at least the same persona as was using that account earlier today, than anything I could present you with GPG over these channels. And, presumably, if Twitter C5's personality does not change or claim "omg HAX!" in
a few hours or days, you can be comfortable that
Citizenfive: Cryptographically tying writing to an identity — if only probabilistically, something sadly not often considered either — is
a double-edged sword.
Citizenfive: It's
a possibility. Neither denial nor confirmation would accomplish much here.
pete_dushenski: associations: it may not be historicist, like the postmodern architecture of the neo-liberal turn in the 1980s, but rather its anaesthetized formal language is
a perfect complement to the hollowed out shell of social democracy."
pete_dushenski: "The high-tech spaces we walk through now are fit only for the smiling ghosts of computer visualizations,
a purgatory of ‘aspirational but accessible’ restaurants and bars, ‘media-walls’ and ‘public art’ of unremitting dreariness. Where socialists and radicals could once read within the language of explicit engineering signs of redemption or change, the post High-Tech architecture in our cities has no suc
cazalla: that atm article BingoBoingo.. few weeks ago we got
a comment bitching about my original article but it was on an article not even relevant, i assumed it was someone using
a bot to just seo the guys name or something, (you can see it in the trash)
pete_dushenski: ;;later tell ben_vulpes but what if i wanna advertise my pgp version and its implied affiliations ? also, sorry for skipping your scoop mention in the cavirtex article, it just seemed
a little tardy to have mentioned it.
☟︎ trinque: man phrack has
a great header image
mats: jesus, Slack got
a 160mn round at 2.8B valuation
Chillum: I have never understood how
a 1 paragraph post that links to
a full article somehow makes it to the top of google searches. They are adding basically nothing
Chillum: Fritzing is
a great tool. I love how after building your circuit you can order $5 prototype boards
mod6: aight, im just gonna head down there. c-ya in
a bit.
mod6 feels like
a new man
ben_vulpes: doing anything related to keys on
a windows machine is baaaaad sosamendez
funkenstein_: seems like
a good idea to me but nobody uses it as far as i can tell
funkenstein_: which is my clumsy segue for asking
a question
funkenstein_: namecoin has been quite volatile for
a couple days
BingoBoingo: mogreen: Oh, if I'm talking through
a time warp watch out for the massage table and the big wop with the flowerbox.
cazalla: i can't imagine his wife is that upset, had what.. 3 kids and still has
a rockin' body
punkman: argentina looks like
a good place to be considering tectonics
funkenstein_ sends greetings to all at the b-
a mtg in b-
a, sends energy to ensure it will b-
a success
BingoBoingo: But yes, since the Feds showed up at my door I have done my best to be
a complete dick who either controls hundreds of dollars of BTC or hundreds of thousands (maybe millions, I'm an ass like that)
funkenstein_: re: mind the gap, i am moving out of fiat mordor in
a few days
mircea_popescu: everyone trying to foist the actual doing of their actual job on everyone else, it's
a thing
felipelalli: lol! they have
a "accept of terms" when you create the account something like "please keep it anonymous".
mircea_popescu: "Nobody is seeking to hurt this company, or plunder it for all it's worth, or find
a way to attack the people that run it. We're just trying to make it
a bit more functional, and
a bit more fair."
assbot: Logged on 17-04-2015 06:44:55; Chillum: mircea_popescu: You expressed on interest in my super simple war walking device I am working on. I have made PCB design and ordered 4 prototype boards(only $20):
http://images.highinbc.com.s3.amazonaws.com/TinyWar_PCB.png - The circuit basically bridges an ESP8266 ESP-01,
a RYN25AI, and 2 AA batteries. The rest is software
mircea_popescu: is that
a handcarved pole behind her, in between those corner windows ?
mircea_popescu: i. The tasering, either in drive stun or probe mode Experts determined that there was insufficient electricity to have caused
a heart rhythm disruption in drive stun mode, nor were any pair of probes positioned either side of the heart (as was the case in scholarly articles in which it has been suggested that Taser may have caused ventricular fibrillation)
funkenstein_: i have an idea, lets give
a bunch of idiots uniforms and guns and see what happens
felipelalli: cazalla: also here. But you have no idea how much people are killed by police here. If they'd create
a new entry on Wikipedia about all cases the Wikipedia would run out of space!! ahhaha
cazalla: felipelalli, it caught
a lot of attention in the media here, not sure abroad (although when indian students get bashed/murdered, indian media goes bananas)
cazalla: mircea_popescu, aaaaaaaaaannnnnd not
a single one from melbourne, australia
cazalla: might've been qld cops that killed
a brazillian for simply running away
BingoBoingo: Working with minimal budget I've been cross taiting
a number of coins across groups who I know don't want it.
BingoBoingo: For the drinkingrecord blog I've had
a title to write in que on why kinja is
a shit proposition for the individual blogger, but... time
BingoBoingo: The tldr; situation on Gawker is Denton paid HamNo for too long and now he is focusing all his "pro-labor" effort on unionizing Gawker's editorial staff. No mention that editorial means management and as
a rule management doesn't unionize.
BingoBoingo: felipelalli: What I mean by "far from arrest" in the US context is that rather than handcuffing
a person the prefer to handcuff cadavears
felipelalli: BingoBoingo: it is
a good news, isn't it? I know in U.S. you can carry
a gun. I was saying here in Brazil. Here you can because the police almost doest not exist, but if you are caught, you'll be arrested.
felipelalli: trinque: you can carry also
a gun, because the police is almost absent. But you run the risk of being arrested. And you do not want to be arrested here!!
funkenstein_: and i had to identify them on the map using
a javascript phrase like js.equalsVerify("brazil")
funkenstein_: brazil had
a really fat part in the south out in front of b.
a.
trinque: funkenstein_: can't carry
a knife? if not
a gun?
funkenstein_: i had
a dream about the south american map night before last
BingoBoingo: Corrupt and inefficient is good, but somewhere between Laredo nd Nuevo Laredo I would indeed like to acquire
a 1911
felipelalli: BingoBoingo: well, the Brazil is
a very complicated country. We have like 60~70% of taxes, but our government is very corrupt and inefficient. So, the people try to avoid to pay taxes, but some taxes are impossible to avoid. As
a reference, you can buy
a new March (small car of Nissan) 1.6 here for US$ 13,000.00 and you can't import your old Saturn. Used car import is prohibited. Also,
a negative point is the huge urban violence.
BingoBoingo: Not as Roger Ver did. If I manage to leave alive I intend to do it with both middle fingers out of
a cheap Saturn sedan.
BingoBoingo: felipelalli: What virtues would Brazil have to offer
a person expatriating the United States of Lulz?
ascii_orc:
http://trilema.com/2015/random-weird-shit-2/ << obligatory su lul: '— one day, shell landed in
a trench. all the men went up. at the end of the day, we turned up an arse and
a set of limbs, no head, no torso. — what did you do? — if the head had turned up, it could be
a man again. but naturally - it is top brass now. what else.'
assbot: Biggest news today in the /hashtag/bitcoin?src=hash space by
a mile. itBit landed none other then Sheila Blaire for their board!
