ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: "in some circumstances", when electing to treat an llc as s-corp, irs demands spousal consent
mircea_popescu: there was such a thing as a professional solider, let's put it this way. as a class.
mircea_popescu: venice had no standing army. charles came and as he came he went.
mircea_popescu: there is no such thing as "signed up". greeks signed up for repaying debts when they took money, lol.
asciilifeform: that's almost as good as 'bread of the sieve cable' <-> 'бред сивой кобылы'
mircea_popescu: in similar lulz, the badea cirtan market in timisoara was officially known as "bad curtain".
asciilifeform: same people as insert their bank acct # to 'check if stolen'
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-19#1726724 << as far as i know (and what i don't know in this town ain't worth knowing) there's not at present any lubby deployed in usgistan internet "intelligence". ☝︎
mod6: <+asciilifeform> http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-19#1726670 << looks typical << aha. i think im going to re-run them all with the newer `ent` and post those results as well. unless, people think it's redundant or not required. ☝︎
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-19#1726711 << this is unknown in usa: too much high tech! instead, and only in earthquake states, and only in ~some~ towns, they issue... wrenches, with which one is expected to close the valve outside the ruins of your house, as you climb from the rubble ☝︎
asciilifeform: i see it as worth something, to be able to immediately distinguish , e.g., a dead hdd, from a stolen hdd .

mod6: "If V is less than the 1% entry or greater than the 99% entry, we reject the numbers as no sufficiently random. If V lies between the 1% and 5% entries or between the 95% and 99% entries, the numbers are ``suspect'';
ben_vulpes: Guest29647: once you register the nick, you gotta also set it as your nick like /nick raven_zero
asciilifeform: not as if having power for extra 10min past dc losing it, does you any good
mod6: <+BingoBoingo> <ben_vulpes> mhm; estimated as 42*.3kW << Of those 42U, 1 or 2 go to switch. Then you gotta keep a sane heat envelope lest some alf-weird cook everything and piss off the neighbors. 42U ends up turning into something like 20 servers apparently. << minus space for UPSs
BingoBoingo: and to street as in old days
asciilifeform: worx about as well as you might expect.
asciilifeform: as davout said. as if it could be other than immediately obvious , if shitflood originates inside the house

mircea_popescu: moreover, if your intention is to actually not put in the work so as to avoid the need for such dumb q, how about you just get lost on your own power, avoid the need to get banned in the first place.
erlehmann: my key expired on 2017-10-10 probably, as it should. i made the error of creating a key that does not expire only once.
erlehmann: was it ever found out what system used 35 as exponent?

asciilifeform: asciilifeform refers to it as 'yeltsining away'
mircea_popescu: recent http://trilema.com/2017/cemetery-junction/ as fine an illustration as any other.
mircea_popescu: dude's vaguely amusing under the "trynna MP" angle, i guess, and moreover the process of pantsuit infiltration is pathology as any other, can be studied.
ben_vulpes: mhm; estimated as 42*.3kW
ben_vulpes: am working a few other quotes as well, will check in later
mircea_popescu: might as well test it.
mircea_popescu: the fiat forced mistake is to "o noes, gotta write it down BEFORE". it is forced because fiat world doesn't have a forum, ie, can't communciate, and as a result there's no such thing as meaningful consent, or negotiation.
mircea_popescu: anyway, the fundamental problem, for which recall bitbet works as well as any other recall, is that you have ~0 chances of knowing at t0 what'll be fair at t2, because t1 is ???
mircea_popescu: there are some advantages in having equity in some projects, such as that you can to some degree prevent them from going dumb.
mircea_popescu: there are some advantages to having certain people in your equity base. such as that not being idiots, they won't vote stupidtly ; and so on.
mircea_popescu: as in, we agree on something.
asciilifeform: 'bout as near as my anglization
asciilifeform: more like 'stierlitz fought with gusto. gusto fought as he could. AsHecould was a man's man. aMans was a girl who did not abide wimps.'
mircea_popescu: anyway, back to gia : women, in the http://trilema.com/2016/portrait-of-an-adult-woman/ adult woman sense, have some things to do in this world. like say http://trilema.com/2014/holy-shit-technical-analysis-is-real/#footnote_0_57849 ; these aren't jobs that can be done by non-women, and when they try the results are as sad as shakespearian theatre (not the text, the actual montage).
mircea_popescu: but yes, the day git is replaced by v and us presidency appointments are implemented as a !! function, the ~same flies will be laying the ~same eggs on this new meat, equally like on the old. at least as far as they're concerned.
asciilifeform: 'It is to the benefit of software companies and programmers to claim that software as we know it is the state of nature. They can do stupid things, things we know will result in software vulnerabilities, and they suffer no consequences because people don’t know that software could be well-written. Often this ignorance includes developers themselves. We’ve also been conditioned to believe that software rots as fast as fruit. That
asciilifeform: my current favourite voodoocipher is keccak-as-cipher.
mircea_popescu: (as per customary and recently discussed with keccak, the actual item and the item submitted to the usg braindamage competition differ)
asciilifeform: ( could just as well break tomorrow as aes et al could, voodoo is voodoo )
asciilifeform: very easily, using same algo as with any other block cipher ( xor splits )
mircea_popescu: in other items of republican interest : eulora is at a stage where we have to set down what we'll use for sensitive data encryption (such as for instance the privkey files). i don't particularily wish to use aes ; anyone wants to contribute to this emerging spec ? ☟︎
mircea_popescu: and this is evident both in how people dissolve the kolhoz once it becomes "politically" untenable (bullshit. there's no such thing as politics exactly like there's no such thing as "her feelings". she got fuicked because she got drunk, she got drunk because she was in the bar, and she went to the bar to get herself drunk to get herself fucked. politics is the "why" and economics is the "what she did".) : either they attack t
mircea_popescu: the demand is, as they say, very inelastic. if it comes to fucking, you can fuck whatever you catch : a lithe blonde today, a nothing tomorrow, a turkish hipped brunette next week. when it comes to eatring, you can eat three plums today even if you felt like two, so as not to throw one out, and you can make do with a chicken tomorrow, even if you wanted a slice of beef.
mircea_popescu: myeah. living space, be it of the housing kind, or of the hosting kind, or of the hospital kind, or of all other kinds can only ever be operated as a kolhoz.
a111: Logged on 2017-10-03 03:05 asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-03#1719979 << gotta appreciate this peculiar fact : asciilifeform used nfs co. service since 2007. not misprint : a decade sharp as of a few mo. ago. with ZERO MAINTENANCE and ZERO hassle and ~zero downtime and laughed at GB/s ddoses and do i have to go on ?
asciilifeform: oh hm, finally dead as of today.
asciilifeform: !~later tell hanbot http://thewhet.net appears to be down -- is it in same brother's grave as dulap ?
mircea_popescu: Vcalist Klaus Meine explains that the band's penchant for controversial cover art stems from a desire "to go over the edge" and not "to offend some people or make the headlines [as] that would be stupid" << what the fuck does this even mean ?
asciilifeform: d00d is as american as mickey-d afaik
mircea_popescu: https://images.encyclopediadramatica.rs/9/91/David_Gerard_wedding_pics.jpg <<< ima use this as the standard illustration of new russia.
shinohai: https://twitter.com/x0rz/status/919888593958694912 <<< Your first day as a darknet market and you realize those Indians from fivver fucked you.
phf: i figured it's as good as any placeholder for "cryptoruble", but yes, david is a "unix system administrator by day" who looks like this https://davidgerard.co.uk/blockchain/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/david-gerard-by-pauline-martindale-225x300.jpg, which makes him supremely qualified to comment on russia, bitcoin, technology, economics, …
mircea_popescu: because no, as a point of republican ideology no tax is anything other than a salary.
BingoBoingo: ^ asciilifeform this suggests 100 Mbps may be eliciting the same response from the connectivity endowed as request for 1U
asciilifeform: shinohai: in some orcistans, post office dun even handle money, as such, or the orc staff will steal it. so gotta pay for ALL mail with... stamps
asciilifeform: to certain (limited, as observed by napoleon himself, 'can do whatever with bayonet, but not sit on it' extent -- the bayonet up the arse is incentive
asciilifeform: the inbred brahmins get the noyade and guillotine, as surely as california kindling catches fire
asciilifeform: i didn't colour the revolutions, as error
mircea_popescu: a) that there was no direct route from imperial ranks to soviet ranks and b) that therefore the lenin moment is JUST AS necessary and "Correct" or how you call it as stalin's. there's no "error".
mircea_popescu: anyway, to underscore : i don't mean "cultural degradation" in some kind of paseist "o woe, things used to be great". no. rather, things used to suck and it finally became obvious what the problem is exactly. and as luck usually has it in such contexts, first you gotta throw out all the babies with all the bathwaters, then draw new baths, make new babies...
asciilifeform: as for meat memory, it is conceivable that it could be improved in exchange for some steel ( from genetic pov ) price -- risk of fatal seizures, say.
mircea_popescu: ah, that's weak as all hell.
mircea_popescu: even without exogamy between these putative groups it is proposed the future costs of this approach ("draining the gene pool") are a) negligible and b) verty distant in the future. as in, 10`000s of years distant
mircea_popescu: 3. let F display all the reverse-to-mean and other properties as observed in the fenotype function f as it is naturally apllied on human genetics.
mircea_popescu: 2. let there be defined an intelligence, as the calculated hash of this genotype, by unreversible function F.
asciilifeform cannot comment on supposed 'hugeness of genetic reservoir', all of the public data has approx same relation to authentic physical reality as 'warmism' rawdata
a111: Logged on 2017-09-18 22:53 mircea_popescu: the vastness bag of possibilities presented by human genetics far far FARRRRR outstrips any vastness commonly contemplated, such as "how many atoms there are in the universe". this does not make it infinite, no, but there's much ado can be fit in the space between two "very large"s.
mircea_popescu: they do regress to the mean, but then again you don't want the girls to use them as spawners anyway.
asciilifeform: as in http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-16#1725595 ☝︎
asciilifeform: physical extinguishment of losers worked just as well for chingis khan et al
a111: Logged on 2015-10-16 15:12 mircea_popescu: aka, pay for all our sins, as we can't afford to do it. and so you get godfathers, and get to enjoy the movie. that's his role in the community : that he pays your blodgelt for you.
mircea_popescu: to put the matter in terms of http://btcbase.org/log/2015-10-16#1300594 a partnership is marriage ; a concession is simply using the daughter as a whore. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: he who receives a concession despises the concessor, sees self as no partner with the idiot.
a111: Logged on 2017-10-16 16:39 mircea_popescu: they creted their very own usg ; it works EXACTLY the same way as the larger one, except it's made by even dumber people / inbred islander idiots, and it shows.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> now, as to the matter of prices: the principal matter is whether you peer or you don't peer. peered traffic is FREE. unpeered traffic is about $9 per month per Mbps installed capacity. << AHA, long term idea is outgrow a major expense by becoming hot, sexy, blonde, pert peer
mircea_popescu: now, as to the matter of prices: the principal matter is whether you peer or you don't peer. peered traffic is FREE. unpeered traffic is about $9 per month per Mbps installed capacity.
mircea_popescu: as per that ancient "you defeat the enemy by outdigging him"
asciilifeform: my criticism is that BingoBoingo's request, at least as summarized earlier, looks precisely like the '1000 car'
asciilifeform: incidentally this might explain BingoBoingo's pinoys : it is typical for folx who use massive bandwidth, to have own fiber laid through the dc's closet, rather than leasing it from the same people as the rack space
asciilifeform: the fact that netflix-watching gurl in karachi gets to pretend she has 1G/s because the films are hosted in same cabinet as the other end from her gsm modem, does not help ~us~ get 1G/s from same dc in karachi
asciilifeform: iirc most 'private school' ( as it is called in usa ) is run by catholic church.
mircea_popescu: eh why the hell not, apparently i'm untouchable. cleopatra-as-isis has been reborn in me and no mortal hand can harm such a one or how did it go.
mircea_popescu: i think this now qualifies as the superlative bender, retrospectively.
mircea_popescu: what do you suppose you give 16 yo bedouin girl as a love gift ? smartphone enouigh to watch netflix, neh ?
mircea_popescu: in any case, it's not even that the us HASN'T written "the great american novel", as the historical consideration. it's that IT WON'T. and similarily, it's not that africa never discovered madagascar -- it's that IT NEVER WILL. and so following, bedouins never discovered flight NOR WILL THEY.
mircea_popescu: as i sure as fuck don't have the energy to dribble personally into each one,.
mircea_popescu: and the manservant, impudent as any african, costa rican, argentinian etcetera, NEVERTHELESS OBEYED.
asciilifeform: i thought 'nonviolent savages' lived in the same place as cynocephali
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i think "everything" as we understand it stopped working there cca 1900.
mircea_popescu: they creted their very own usg ; it works EXACTLY the same way as the larger one, except it's made by even dumber people / inbred islander idiots, and it shows. ☟︎
asciilifeform: same, yes, fundamental fallacy as 'bayesianism' -- notion being that the work of understanding something, can be farmed out to machine
asciilifeform: '...4-way handshake was mathematically proven as secure... the properties that were proven in formal analysis of the 4-way handshake remain true. However, the problem is that the proofs do not model key installation. Put differently, the formal models did not define when a negotiated key should be installed. In practice, this means the same key can be installed multiple times, thereby resetting nonces and replay counters used by the
asciilifeform: losure deadline was around the end of August. As a compromise, I allowed them to silently patch the vulnerability. In hindsight this was a bad decision, since others might rediscover the vulnerability by inspecting their silent patch. To avoid this problem in the future, OpenBSD will now receive vulnerability notifications closer to the end of an embargo.'
asciilifeform: 'In the most likely attack scenario, the hacker would have to directly connect to the Wi-Fi access point, and so would need to be within physical proximity to the router. "This attack doesn't scale," noted Alan Woodward, encryption expert from the University of Surrey. "It's a very targeted attack. Not like we're all going to be hit as attackers can only be in so many Wi-Fi zones at once."' << choice nonsense -- as if you can't hop f
shinohai: http://archive.is/UtCgr << `That's because the operating system (Android) uses what's known as an "all-zero encryption key" when the reinstallation is initiated, which is easier to intercept and use maliciously.`
