assbot: Logged on 30-01-2015 06:45:26; mircea_popescu: <ben_vulpes> something tells me that block downloading and peer selection is an important thing to look at in the next few arbitrary time units. << that something is athena riding
a flaming shield.
mircea_popescu: " So let's take
a closer look at the program - it's
a .NET 2.0 executable and can be completely decompiled with dotPeek into
a set of Visual Studio solutions."
mircea_popescu: While investigating this rather innocuous looking program I discovered that it accepts commands by listening for HTTP requests on localhost:8884 and that the security restrictions Dell put in place are easily bypassed, meaning an attacker could trigger the program to download and install any arbitrary executable from
a remote location with no user interaction at all.

mircea_popescu: that also. but i just mean know, not necessarily act, to give them
a chance.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: aite, the Mars thing has been out for
a while. I'll keep looking for the next one.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo yeah, well... that's
a good point. in honesty so is gawker, but anyway. the distinction between one model and the other blurs.
nubbins`: that's
a "does", not an "is" :D
thestringpuller: has
a sticker that says, "Keeping public employees employed since 2009"
mircea_popescu: check it out, trinquette kicked undata out, now he's
a bum
trinque must find
a power outlet, brb
trinque: I got drunk and started giving
a loud speech at
a bar about how great markets are
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu> cazalla just for the record, on my wishlist-of-things-way-far-out-of-reach, stuff which like hooft says, i'll be happy to get in
a 100 years : i'd totally love it if qntra did what medium does, and is correct in doing : chase these social justice idiocies, get insiders to spill the beans. << Medium is just some twitter founder's take on blogger. It only holds writing from the people who choose to blog there for fre
trinque: mircea_popescu: there was plenty more
a sober me decided not to put in the permanent record
nubbins`: anyway, much flatter
a power struggle, i like that
mircea_popescu: mats : "Comment by Massimiliano Torromeo (mtorromeo) - Friday, 05 April 2013, 12:07 GMT This package is not
a dependency of any other package. It also needs to be explicitly installed AND started/enabled so after installation the system is not any less secure."
mircea_popescu: And as far as the delays are concerned, he says, “is it really
a failure if we land our first crew two, four, six, or even eight years late?”
mircea_popescu: cazalla just for the record, on my wishlist-of-things-way-far-out-of-reach, stuff which like hooft says, i'll be happy to get in
a 100 years : i'd totally love it if qntra did what medium does, and is correct in doing : chase these social justice idiocies, get insiders to spill the beans.
mircea_popescu: There are other bad signs for Mars One. The organization’s contract with production company Endemol is no longer in place; Mars One was hoping to generate $6 billion from
a reality show.
ascii_field: this is basic 'spam like
a pro in 21 days' material...
mircea_popescu: when you're
a scammer you gotta be very careful with your time. keeping above water quite the challenge.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field yeah, world's been revolutionized
a coupla times and changed who even knows how often since those days.
mircea_popescu: think about that for
a moment, solid coin hadn't been even invented yet.

A Scam | IFLScience ... (

nubbins`: what i should've said was "there's
a word for something else, it escapes me"
nubbins`: technically
a business card that looks like
a pcb is not this, but w/e
nubbins`: like how Notes looks like
a notepad
nubbins`: *:ascii_field not enamoured of toys which look like functional things but aren't <<< there's
a word for this, it escapes me
nubbins`: picture
a sparkfun but with "stan" written on the bottom
nubbins`: lay the traces in gold ink, flood
a mask of semi-transparent green/red/blue/w/e on top
danielpbarron: yeah idk what the best filter is, but the idea is it works well as
a single color
nubbins`: ascii_field just pondering pcb cards w/
a bit more of
a story behind em
cazalla: as for ads, i've wanted to run them for
a while, but credible advertisers are lacking
nubbins`: anyway,
a good next step would be for people who intend to receive these cards to put some thought into what info they'd like on them, as well as
a general idea of how they'd prefer them to look
nubbins`: "do you have
a card?" "no" "....."
nubbins`: cazalla that's because you're not
a small business owner dealing with other small business owners
nubbins`: unless you've got
a version bigger than 30x30...
danielpbarron: there was
a cat that used to roam around outside that i would let sleep inside on occasion; i think it mothered
a litter and died
nubbins`: this is assuming that random cats are
a thing you want to attract
nubbins`: dish of it on the back step is
a good way to attract em
ascii_field: gigantic semi-wild but castrated male cat, grooming - and then guarding -
a smaller cat
ascii_field: i saw
a most peculiar cat scene the other day
nubbins`: so we got
a second cat back in november and i've been mildly worried that she's
a bit aggressive towards our older cat
assbot: As
a reminder, you'd have to hack into my Windows 8.1 desktop behind NAT to get my ssh key & use the right IP to access my AWS hosts.
nubbins`: noticed, but they were
a familiar shape.
ascii_field: i though the 'jar' was just
a turd that loads from blockchain.info
nubbins`: some guy made him
a fuckin jar file for him to run and he can't figure out how to use it
ascii_field: 'the goal or problem is not stinking of shit, without having to use
a toilet, without having to wear diapers, just plain and simple not stinking of shit'
ascii_field: 'without having to run
a linux machine' << wai wat
assbot: Logged on 23-03-2015 08:38:46; mircea_popescu: "The goal or problem is checking the balance of
a ton of addresses without having to import them with keys without having to run
a linux machine, without having to run anything in python, just plain and simple copy
a list of addresses"
nubbins`: ascii_field after
a few pestering PMs, changetip returned the money to its original owner
nubbins`: one guy tried to give me
a buck
nubbins`: i've had people "tip" me dimes on
a couple of occasion
ascii_field: trinque: esp. if she was (as you appear to suggest)
a pet
ben_vulpes: PeterL: bit of column
a, bit of column b.
funkenstein_: in the meantime you could put
a donation address up
ascii_field: PeterL: but if you want to build
a cardboard kite - yes, you can.
PeterL: asciilifeform:aviation, by and large, only works when you're
a mega-state with maxint constantly replaced slaves to parasitise << depends if you are going for "go up in the air", or "survive dogfight with megastate"
ascii_field: Adlai: diddling
a single routine to always return false << only if the implementers were morons
Adlai: that can be distributed as
a separate patch, with sample files to verify that it does what is said
Adlai: in this case, wouldn't it be as simple as diddling
a single routine to always return false?
PeterL: but I wouldn't notice the denver massacre if it was happening around me while I am watching
a movie
Adlai: you must live in
a civilized place
ascii_field: for instance, there is talk of mandating that digital cameras obey
a magic remote off signal
funkenstein_: nubbins, re: 0.5.3.1 after
a couple days i am up to 220k blocks. just like the old days isn't it?
PeterL: what I mean is there is such
a small amount bet on the bet, you might spend more than you would win holding the price up. Spend tens of btc to win .003 btc?
PeterL: there's not
a whole lot of shares trading with which to dump
PeterL: but it wouldn't take much coin to push it up above the s.mpex price, and then you just need
a bit of self-trading to keep it there
a month
PeterL: I guess anybody who bets on yes should make
a point to come in here and do !t for each periodically
PeterL: it just seems like it should use
a resolution source which can be checked later on, like when the bet ends
PeterL: so for the yes side to win, somebody has to do !t for each here while the qntr is
a higher price
Adlai: still
a little silly for the platform bandied about as turing-complete to lack actual bignums
funkenstein_: i think line number two is pretty important and looks like
a common theme from the ethereum team
funkenstein_: so I can put
a non-halting program into the blockchain, and all counterparty nodes will stall?
nubbins`: TIL i own
a 7" single that's worth $85
danielpbarron: 16. Circle: Taking the bitcoin out of bitcoin << certainly
a theme here
funkenstein_: "21 What is 21? Outside of
a chosen few, no one knows for sure" <-- number one
fluffypony: the 20th most exciting Bitcoin startup is something trying to replace Bitcoin with
a massively centralised system?
danielpbarron: It has been reported that generating
a false negative is easy, perhaps as simple as using images of two notes, side-by-side, rather than just one. << LOL
