mircea_popescu: (for a while highschool convention on "who's going" was... wearing pink lipstick. then tattoos got started.)

mircea_popescu: mp often turns and goes "give him a card" like he's teh baws of it all.

mircea_popescu: shit that was a long article. almost as long as the dong.

mircea_popescu: ahaha flattering, but it's only a model.

mircea_popescu: mine's perforce a very theoretical perspective.

mircea_popescu: "sorry to tell you sir, you have cancer" "you know who i am ? i am the usg czar for rounded corners" "oh, in that case...umm... it's a skin condition. put some aloe on it."

mircea_popescu: a plan to make a lot of mongol babies.

mircea_popescu: yeah dude, totally. sounds like a plan

mircea_popescu: ascii_modem so you're telling me there's f(data, pic.png) - > pic1.png so that a) i can read f and b) i can't didle pic1.png into pic2.png so you can't read data ?

mircea_popescu: and actually a bevy of other such measures.

mircea_popescu: ftr, it seems a 13% decrease in pitch defeats it

mircea_popescu: nubbins` atm im waiting a little to give teh interested parties chance to take over the process.

mircea_popescu: there was a video with a poor chinese guy trying to explain to a roomfull of idiots that you can't make square circles or something.

mircea_popescu: http://log1.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=23-03-2015#1065420 << he's not a cunt, he's a typical usg bureaucrat.

mircea_popescu: http://log1.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=23-03-2015#1065377 << well, at least it's one that admits to it. new york times is a publicly traded non profit.

mircea_popescu: "On 5 June 2009, the licensing agreements for AACS were finalized, which were updated to make Cinavia detection on commercial Blu-ray Disc players a requirement. On 3 July 2009, Maxim Anisiutkin published an open source DVD Audio watermark detector and neutralizer computer program to the SourceForge web site. The software package contains a detailed description of the method and embedding parameters used in creating th

mircea_popescu: i'm personally waiting for the credit suisse article about the loss of confidence in swiss banks as a result of them selling out their customers to usg & friends.

mircea_popescu: meanwhile the costs for this pointless idiocy is, that somehow a "commercial" product became MANDATORY.

mircea_popescu: the entire "the watermark is able to survive recording through microphones" is utter bull, so it defeats analog copy. you can trivially remasterize a soundtrack, and if you know what to look for you just nuke it and nobody will even know.

mircea_popescu: then again, i have actually never used a "music cd player", and i don't imagine i ever will.

mircea_popescu: computer is a woman. it's the woman's job to make loser's life insufferable.

mircea_popescu: this notion that "any people is a people" and computer should be nice to everyone that touches it is nonsense.

mircea_popescu: http://log1.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=23-03-2015#1065314 << the basic idea, idiot hostile hardware, is a brilliant idea.

mircea_popescu: hm, he had a link with the fixing the lightbulb thing. anyway.

mircea_popescu: takes a while to implement, because

mircea_popescu: bitstein inasmuch as you want a central repository, you're stuck with a central repository. if you look into the design papers / discussions around gossipd, this is also a well solved problem, just,

mircea_popescu: bitstein this is true for both of them, currently. this happens to also not be a problem because a) they could do this once ; and b) the way you're supposed to use this tool is by asking the raters about their ratings.

mircea_popescu: lol at the fluffypony businessoutsider link. EXCITING! may become the new AMAZING, as a new generation of idiots moves into bitcoin scam pushing.

mircea_popescu: i suppose i might be the only techno-enabled sociopath that disassembled misbehaving hardware/software and let them do X for a while, by themselves, in the dark.

mircea_popescu: and the user's reaction is anything but getting a 28 inch dropforged wrench and beating it into a pulp. without grease. ?

mircea_popescu: http://log1.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=23-03-2015#1065100 << assbot model is much improved over gribble model. there's no more sessions, so you're mostly battling with a solved problem there.

mircea_popescu: jurov so the question was more "why does assbot not implement the drawbacks to privacy of a strong crypto verification scheme" ?

mircea_popescu: listen dude, you're getting fucked whbether you want to or not. it's a fact. the only questrion to you is, if you want to do it with alifie or without.

mircea_popescu: they struggle a little, he's taken to the ground, at which point the leader of the pack goes

mircea_popescu: btw, want me to tell you a romanian joke ?

mircea_popescu: dun worry sir whiteknight, b-a brings the best out in everyone.

mircea_popescu: http://log1.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=23-03-2015#1065075 << check it out, kitty spit out a furball!

mircea_popescu: (if you read teh trilematograph heading you prolly know i've been working on a very similar question)

mircea_popescu: because whatever, i'm going to hang them anyway, and usg isn't going to hang them no matter what, so that leaves a space in the middle.

mircea_popescu: except no worthy goals were willing to work with them, and so moved to "default worthy goal" = pay gavin a salary.

mircea_popescu: once got called out on that, shed some bits (coinlab, anyone recall that ?) and moved to "worthy goals" (stioll not releasing any reports, because vessenes, like all clueless idiots involved, thinks taint is a thing, and also thinks i don't know his addresses, because whatever, he's magically protected by nulandine)

mircea_popescu: well perhaps the discussion of which lice spawned what scorpion is not directly interesting to engineers, being more in the vein of politics and law. so i guess you actually have a fine aproximation.

mircea_popescu: fake foundation's just a pressed shitbullet, they made it, getting rid of it won't get rid of the problem.

mircea_popescu: (split it to three addresses, then feed one by two for a while)

mircea_popescu: ascii_field anyway, if you're curious, do a braid on a bitcoin then see what happens.

mircea_popescu: and people fail to think how important this is, because atm relatively few addresses (if you divide total btc to total addresses you get a .x ish average)

mircea_popescu: anyway, there's a reason wallet theft consisted of stealing the (plaintext) wallet file

mircea_popescu: whatever it may say, fuck you and a heap of error: {"code":-4,"message":"Transaction creation failed"}

mircea_popescu: because no one knows what's in a wallet.

mircea_popescu: i been waitin' a long time honey!

mircea_popescu: it's a total fucking pain when stuff like, payout of the bfl bitbet happens

mircea_popescu: if i want to make a txn that's 1mb, i do. ☟︎

mircea_popescu: ascii_field i was talking more in terms of how it's supposed to go. i'm aware the current pos is a pos.

mircea_popescu: problem solves itself. whether they duplicate or not is a byproduct : competition, economical.
