lobbes: i wonder if he's a licensed breeder for those purebred cats he's selling? << prolly just uses lathe on cats he finds on the street
lobbes: <nubbins'> lobbes guy threatened to do unspecified things to me << O.o Link in the logs? This guy sounds like a full-time scammzor (with the 'miner group buy' scam, et al). Plenty of sustenance in that forum, too
nubbins`: i wonder if he's a licensed breeder for those purebred cats he's selling? ☟︎
punkman: send him a piece of driftwood ☟︎
mats: make a few c.o.d. purchase orders for office supplies
lobbes: <nubbins'> okay, and now i've got his name, his wife's name, and his company's name << once you chomp down on a scammer, you don't let go, do you? ;/
nubbins`: the fact that the realtor still has videos of the inside of the home on youtube is a separate matter, but...

BingoBoingo: Really the best insulation in bitcoin is a sense of history
felipelalli: would be the terror of the scammers. A "fake scammer" but "really bad and lier" would make the long-term good, after all.
BingoBoingo: The risk associated with doing such a thing isn't likely worth it compared to other ventures in BTC which are far nobeler to hang for
felipelalli: BingoBoingo: making a "really lier" ransomware would accelerate this process. hahaha
BingoBoingo: As seriously as people build up the ransomware threat the entire ecosystem is awfully precarious. One could readily kill it with ransomware that did not honor a ransom
mircea_popescu: and wtf, they are still derping with that angelou broad ? what, she's "a poet" ?
asciilifeform: this could almost be a scene from 'atlas shrugged'
asciilifeform: 'A couple of blocks from the White House, the lights went off for about 30 seconds at the Warner Theatre as Oprah Winfrey delivered a speech honoring Maya Angelou during the dedication of a new postage stamp. After a few seconds, the sound system began to work again, and Winfrey continued her delivery until the lights returned.'
nubbins`: here's woodcollector a year ago, with a miner group buy scam: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=452850.msg5046715#msg5046715
mircea_popescu: "a cause caused a causation"
asciilifeform: specifically, 'losing a war'
mircea_popescu: when lifelines are taken out by unidentified parties with access to a lot of resources, it's... uh.
decimation: asciilifeform: that's a serious ups!
mircea_popescu: afaik mostly a solved problem on 200kv lines
asciilifeform: and is only solvable to a limited extent
asciilifeform: it's a classic 'how to get fuse that blows before the rest of it' problem
mircea_popescu: "A Charles County, Maryland official confirmed to Utility Dive that an explosion occurred at a substation. However, CBS reported that their sources tell them there was no explosion at all, while the Associated Press reported that the explosion occurred at a power plant."
decimation: generally the strategy for utilities is to smile and nod, and wait until next week when nobody gives a shit
mircea_popescu: "Pepco cited a "dip in voltage" as the cause of the outage in its release." derp. the cause of the outage was caused by the cause of the causative agent.
BingoBoingo: <decimation> actually I think the end result is going to be a mass migration away from centralized power to solar << local hillbill town is about to add solar farm on abandoned manufactering ground to supplement diesel, on coop's dime
mircea_popescu: odds are this was a successful terrorist hit, actually.
asciilifeform: decimation: power in the middle of a clear day, sure
mircea_popescu: "However, there were also multiple reports about an explosion or fire, including a reported explosion at a southern Maryland power plant. "
decimation: in certain areas of the us, you could buy enough solar panels to power yourself indefinitely for the price of a car
decimation: actually I think the end result is going to be a mass migration away from centralized power to solar
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> the 'one wire,' even if true, can only be the 'straw that broke camel's back' << It was August during peak consumption. Amren stopped delivering anything through the town's 5 MW backup line so the 30 MW transmission line failed at 38.5 MW and started a small swiftly contained brush fire. (/me thinks he got the units right)
decimation: yeah, that's a good point
asciilifeform: the 'one fallen wire' story is a lie of omission
BingoBoingo: decimation: Last summer My town suffered a 12+ hour blackout because the largest incoming transmission line melted
decimation: it's rare that a major distribution line fails like that
decimation: http://baltimore.cbslocal.com/2015/04/07/major-power-outage-in-dc-affecting-umd-white-house/ < But it was a 230,000 volt line that shorted. Partially charred ceramic insulators show electric crews what went wrong at a Charles County switching station, causing midday confusion and triggering a widespread blackout across D.C. and its suburbs.
decimation: yeah a camera under glass would work
decimation: how hard would it be to recruit a few thousand people to get a hand xray on a calibrated machine
decimation: it's amusing to me that this is actually a controversial point
mircea_popescu: if by it you mean "this looks like a woman's face" ?
decimation: you have a longer index finger?
asciilifeform: decimation: i oughta be a eunuch if it were true
mircea_popescu: guy is "managing" her, they make up "a team". he's the "marketeer" because he "can bullshit"
mircea_popescu: actually, i'l; go on a limb and say that is THE woman.
mircea_popescu: yeah, harem agrees. that's a woman.
mircea_popescu: nubbins` imo looks like a woman's hand.
asciilifeform: typically they try to set up a stove and gasenwagen
asciilifeform: interesting detail that it was generator and not a stove
decimation: Todd had received assistance paying his utility bills in the past, but did not apply for help this year, said Tom VanLandingham, who directs the Office of Home Energy Programs in Somerset County. Families can apply once a year, and assistance is based on household income and energy use, among other factors. "We're all kind of baffled as to why he did not apply this year ... that's the million-dollar question," VanLandingham said
asciilifeform was once a sysadmin
nubbins`: sysadmin who smokes and owns a lathe?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: he could easily be something like a sysadmin
mircea_popescu: nubbins` not even. just, full time internet imbecile. like a "wikipedia editor" or something.
mircea_popescu: his manager would basically make him crawl six hours a day.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform guy's not doing anything sueful. he's too broadly illiterate to ever be able to get a job, and his attitude precludes the sort of job you're thinking about.
asciilifeform: then - not a 'welfare case', no ?
nubbins`: actually no i'd say he's a full time scammer
asciilifeform: nubbins`: can you picture how many folks are paid to sit (not necessarily even at a computer, could be a pNohe in one hand) and wait for a bell to ring ?

mircea_popescu: when all the world is young lad, and every scribble a business plan...
punkman: "Guerilla marketing is probably the most effective means, vinyl stickers at urinals on mirrors under drive thru windows under the drive thru speaker bumper stickers and the great thing about bitcoin is the stickers could actually have a qr code that links you to some free satoshis so people that never considered buying bitcoin just have to pull out there phone"
punkman: "I have decided to use half my bitcoin ( about 3,300 coins ) to form a self funded organization with the sole purpose of helping to spread information about bitcoin to the world through mass media, local "troops" or small groups, a website, blog, billboards, magazine ad's, TV. and whatever else 3,300 bitcoins will afford me."
nubbins`: bitcoinsociety@yahoo.com was the email used to register the weird cats website, as well as a bunch of random asic mining-related domains
mircea_popescu: "I'm calling you out on this one, answer or lose whatever credibility you had because there is 1 MILLION percent no way you have a single shred of proof that i am anyone or anything especially some guy in vietnam who sells wooden shit and if you ain't going to back up your BS i will rally every single body that you pulled your fake "probable alt of _____________" and lead a campaign of ensuring you never have the credi
asciilifeform: (which, after all, is a pretty standard 'we have a router, now let's a linux' affair)
mircea_popescu: more like "here's something, say you paid me a lot for it, it'll look good on both of us"
mircea_popescu: "i have 0 cookies and am so locked down that i have to log in every time a page changes"
mircea_popescu: i did it in my digital print dirivitive. also i added some ants, because it kinda looks like a spider web which makes sense.
mircea_popescu: this has to be a meme. mats pic and the caption "i don't always go on research binges on the internet. but when i do, we're talking 400 hours bish!"
mats: the legal database access was free due to my use of a university's subscription and something in the neighborhood of 400 hours
mircea_popescu: "and viola Nubbins is a monkeys uncle."

BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: mats has been on this for a while. I almost contributed then... qntra. Dude's been digging like mad.
hanbot: <mircea_popescu> i never saw a good "hacking" film. << for prime cheese: WarGames, 83
mircea_popescu: nubbins` no fucking way. you actually recognized a... WINDOW AND PLUG assembly ?
assbot: So who's running the Courts circus ? on Trilema - A blog by Mircea Popescu. ... ( http://bit.ly/1GJbrBU )
asciilifeform: somebody (greg egan?) had a short story with such a box, that wasn't utterly retarded
mircea_popescu: magical box that breaks secrets, this isn't a film about hacking, this is scherezade in a "modern" color scheme.
mats: those fatal funnels are a bear.
asciilifeform: 'you enter a room in pairs. first your frag, then you' (ru adage)
mats: civilized way is with four dudes and a perimeter.
mircea_popescu: i never saw a good "hacking" film.

BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> ... << not to mention you wouldn't be stuck with the impotent sort of potheads that crowd a "orgy rv" to the point of total cockblockage. << But... Firetruck. They put the lotion on the skin, or they get the hose again
danielpbarron: Of course it's not a real share like you might buy on the NYSE or NASDAQ. There is no company behind KmikeyM and so the "ownership" you hold is actually a just a metaphor for trust. We have built a fully-functional market simulation and we borrow a lot of language and concepts from the business world in order to make the process easy to understand.
mats: .cn sysop uses yubikey at his terminal, "he's using gpg encryption... it'll take me at least a month to crack it... it must be at least a 512 bit key"
assbot: Logged on 07-04-2015 23:57:31; pete_dushenski: though i'll take a plane and high-end hotel room any day, and i'll still come out ahead on costs compared to 'high-end rv'

assbot: Logged on 07-04-2015 23:44:14; asciilifeform: and before mircea_popescu observes that 'no one has the balls' - if the 'balls-enabled' jfk appeared, a 'counter-jfk' would materialize out of thin aether
assbot: Logged on 07-04-2015 23:43:05; asciilifeform: a modern 'jfk' might not be shot, but petraeused or childpronned instead
