asciilifeform: and he still can swing.

asciilifeform: consider how much conflict can be in his poor skull

asciilifeform: trinque: how does maniac swing an axe!?

asciilifeform: and since mircea_popescu is asleep, i must fill in for him and '... REAL MEN don't need warm places! they live on flesh of their enemies, and tree bark! in orbit!'

asciilifeform: us - does not.

asciilifeform: su had a ready warm place for all the competent folks to ~defect~ (DEFECT, not flee like rats and into pederasty, but fucking defect) to ☟︎☟︎

asciilifeform: if it is not clear why the difference matters, consider,

asciilifeform: other - not.

asciilifeform: trinque: one had a ready devourer sitting by, waiting

asciilifeform: ^

asciilifeform: ... in 1945.

asciilifeform: ... by usg.

asciilifeform: oh fr is conquered

asciilifeform: snore.

asciilifeform: usg decided to burn eu, so it burns.

asciilifeform: trinque: i still don't see it.

asciilifeform: i'm actually kind surprised that none of these dns records suddenly decided to point to dhs 'confiscated!1111' page, quite yet ☟︎

asciilifeform: e.g., domains with their name, etc

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=14-11-2015#1323561 << afaik this is not so. derps buy domains like there's no tomorrow, for no apparent reason ☝︎

asciilifeform: that sums to nil

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: what do you expect from a usg ministry. of course they have torchlight parades and weird masonic ritual

asciilifeform will next see it in hell, in a cauldron

asciilifeform behind the idiot www stack timez

asciilifeform: stake

asciilifeform: so you can't kill it

asciilifeform: trinque: dns was never alive

asciilifeform: vendor prolly tested for ie6 and called it a day

asciilifeform: betcha he puts on a particular robe of mourning for the occasion

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: i'm told there are times when even rms runs js !

asciilifeform: 'nosuchlabs' is there, that is

asciilifeform: that ran js etc

asciilifeform: but used a 'play box'

asciilifeform: still there.

asciilifeform: oh no

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: playbox << that's kinda what i did.

asciilifeform: ... and the nephews have nephews ?

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: because ol' paul g. has many nephews ?

asciilifeform: if it worked, there'd be approx. 0 'help-wanted'

asciilifeform: the one interesting observation here is that this mostly-not-works thing is the essential characteristic of 'job-creating' tech

asciilifeform: by who else.

asciilifeform: aha

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: my weird delusion is 100% based on my to-date contact with physical reality (tm) (r) ☟︎

asciilifeform: before corpse is even cold.

asciilifeform: the folks discussed earlier don't sit and look for tickets. they get golden parachuted and immediately hop to next gig

asciilifeform: aha same basic idea

asciilifeform: they come.

asciilifeform: the corpses fail, the corpses (ah) move to the next one.

asciilifeform: i wanna watch. srsly.

asciilifeform: plz wake me up when selling tickets to this

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it is trivially explained by 'fat cheques keep coming, while the rusty nail bat is always tomorrow and tomorrow'

asciilifeform: nyooooookyooooolar!!

asciilifeform: ask ~him~ not me.

asciilifeform: sumthinglikethat

asciilifeform: l0ltr0n1c

asciilifeform: '#BREAKING Paris attacks not just on people of France but on 'all humanity': Obama'

asciilifeform: (or tcpdump+perl)

asciilifeform: it is always, in the end, wireshark

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: 'firebug' + 'wireshark'

asciilifeform: (does that still work..?)

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: prolly something like the pure-http version of 'gmail'

asciilifeform: me neither...

asciilifeform: aha.

asciilifeform wonders if mircea_popescu realizes that the design space of http slides inevitably into this kind of insanity

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: likely thing is that the box returns 'json' turds (javascript lists populated with crud)

asciilifeform puts on gas mask

asciilifeform: last i used it - it worked...

asciilifeform: there is not, likely, a useful thing to be gained

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: this is like asking how to reconnect the buttons at an old derelict petrol station

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: correct. ☟︎☟︎

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: wake me up when.

asciilifeform: and... they are

asciilifeform: as in, the leaf whereby it is pressed.

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: all correct implementations will press the same tree ~given the same leaf~ !!

asciilifeform brushes up on homomorphic idiocy for his inevitable tour in шарашка

asciilifeform: ^ prolly best-known 'homomorphic' thing

asciilifeform: !s paillier

asciilifeform: (right-hand)

asciilifeform: and the cardboard man

asciilifeform: incl. the dog..

asciilifeform: ah

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=14-11-2015#1323324 << who are they ? ☝︎

asciilifeform writes down

asciilifeform: looks like a possible swap-in for namecheap!

asciilifeform: (yet...)

asciilifeform did not go and take 'the test'

asciilifeform: *millionaire

asciilifeform: (e.g., 'millinaire protocol' etc)

asciilifeform: thing is (again see logz) there are gibblets of usable mechanism scattered throughout the field

asciilifeform: it's a kind of cryptographolysenkoism aha ☟︎

asciilifeform: !s homomorphic

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=14-11-2015#1323303 << see logz!! ☝︎

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the air comes back after the initial vacuum funnel

asciilifeform wonders about ground-penetrating nukez + natural petro deposits

asciilifeform: ^

asciilifeform: no mention of dip in airline motor demand, curious.

asciilifeform: 'Expertise in any combination of the following cryptographic primitives is desired: private information retrieval, fully homomorphic encryption, pairing- or lattice-based cryptography, multi-party computation, and distributed key management architectures.' -- from a nazi help-wanted ad

asciilifeform does not have very much to say to podcast people

asciilifeform: ^

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=13-11-2015#1323187 << updated, '40 dead... grenades ... pump-action shotgun' etc ☝︎

asciilifeform: so if you feel like preaching to the heathens, go for it.
