http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=06-12-2015#1337076 << the whole substance of ali g interviews is made of two things. the lesser one is, libertards simply not understanding their dreamworld is not related to the actual world. the much better one however is libertard niggers fully aware of the difference, which is after all what they plan to feed on, but figuring they're so very fucking smart they'll be ok with this
☝︎ mircea_popescu: nubbins` for the record, there's no further work needed to run eulora on osx, phf got it going.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform so if we don't plan to use it then it's not really much priority.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: then we derride youths that go around in chinese made tshirts saying they're unique. but the difference would be...
mircea_popescu: "nobody could have foreseen anyone else on the whole fucking planet having heard of isbn. it's just an industrial process after all!"
mircea_popescu: jesus christ how fucking unskeptical, anti-scientific must one be.
mircea_popescu: i can';t fucking believe randi actually went with homebrew crypto\
mircea_popescu: After staring at this commitment string for a little while, we suspected (or, if you prefer, we had a divine inspiration) that the first 10 digits might represent the ISBN number of a published book.
mircea_popescu: the spec accounts for this, that there should be a hook there. otherwise i fully expect most people will just use the standard dictionary if they ever use the mode at all.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: anyway. the hooks to use the tool any way you might want is a part of a well designed tool. this is why a hammer comes with the hook at the other end for pulling out nails, even for hammers you buy to only hurt your fingers with.
mircea_popescu: now, you can in practice have "prior agreement after the fact", to use the consecrated legal concept (ie, if someone tells you what to use after you got the file, but you "know" it's right because it decrypts to something meaningful). but this doesn't seem much of a variation.
mircea_popescu: PeterL the only way otp works is with prior agreement. as alf says, there's no known alternative ot this.
mircea_popescu: these are the same people reacting to some "company" saying something vague AS IF IT MATTERED.
mircea_popescu: these are the same people who collectively opted not to give gates dailyt whirlies when he started with HIS whiny bullshit (also in the 80s)
mircea_popescu: start reading rms' side of the "how i [didn't really] invent emacs" for the lulz, stay for the glory.
mircea_popescu: (Sometimes I think that perhaps one of the best things I could do with my life is: find a gigantic pile of proprietary software that was a trade secret, and start handing out copies on a street corner so it wouldn't be a trade secret any more, and perhaps that would be a much more efficient way for me to give people new free software than actually writing it myself; but everyone is too cowardly to even take it.)
☟︎ mircea_popescu: ascii_field "At some point I may do a similar surgical extraction for GPG 1.4.10’s entropy gatherer, but this is a very different project." << i have nfi why you'd be including "software entropy generators".
☟︎ mircea_popescu: (have you ever noticed that nobody ever fucking publishes the names of the agentura ? if say a police officer is ever NAMED he's either in a fringe local paper in a red state or else accused of something. it's never "the swat team, composed of x y z and k" or so forth. )
☟︎ mircea_popescu: this one'd be equally nameless, if i weren't here to break the inane anon-government convention
mircea_popescu: awww, look at her! intern gurl hired to get people to talk to the phone people at her office, is now internets famous!Q
mircea_popescu: <ascii_field> we have this already. except it's armies of intern gurlz, vs. shanninizers (gurlz are cheaper) <<< you recall, i actually published the minutes of how this goes.
mircea_popescu: this "we labeled this function comprehension so now the program is comprehending" thing goes to the fucking core of things, it's like the only wife computer dorks ever had huh.
mircea_popescu: this is ALL the compiler ever fucking does, are you kidding me ?
mircea_popescu: "It’s hard to overstate how bad an idea it is for a compiler to use strange heuristics about code structure to guess the developer’s intent."
mircea_popescu: a century of laws nobody read has really been long enough. time for laws nobody actually wrote.
☟︎ mircea_popescu is looking forward to when congress finally buys some "quill" to keep up with the "ever increasing needs" of the legislative process.
mircea_popescu: all the appetites in the world and five bitcets will buy them a cup of coffee
mircea_popescu: lost in all of this bathwater, any actual money to wash. the us is about as poor as argentina.
mircea_popescu: "CHICAGO, IL – November 10, 2015 – Narrative Science, the leader in advanced natural language generation for the enterprise, today announced the launch of Quill for Anti-Money Laundering (AML). According to recent research from KPMG, spending in North America to combat money-laundering activities has risen by 71 percent over the past three years and is predicted to keep increasing."
mircea_popescu: if only the soviets had "technological innovators" such as these
mircea_popescu: <ascii_field> ^ our filipinos! <<< exactly like the mechanical turk of yore, the faux ai scam is still with us.
mircea_popescu: <ascii_field> the successes in the software world, few as they are, are largely successes of EXTERMINATORS. << my view also.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla tell you what, of all tech companies, all bitcoin companies, and all companies in general, mpex stuff has the most women involved.
mircea_popescu: scammers still trying to sell pmbs to redditards, with mixed success.
mircea_popescu: has he ? besides the fucking point. talking about how much you make is his way of getting under your skin.
mircea_popescu: so... yeah. all con men start by breaking a minor taboo of this sort. the widest known is the "make money" derp, who can't cease talking about how much money he made bla bla.
mircea_popescu: 2. conversely, all confidence games are predicated on the same process : "is it called a confidence game because i'm supposed to give you my confidence ?" "no. because i give yo umine".
mircea_popescu: the same exact incentives exist to attack all of these. consequently, there exists exactly no incentive for a miner to advertise ; and strong incentive not to.
mircea_popescu: 1. miners are key points of the bitcoin infrastructure. unlike traditional infrastructure such as the hoover dam or the pentagon, the miners do not have to be physically discernible.
mircea_popescu: yeah. just saying, if someone's claiming to be a miner, odds are they're a scammer.
mircea_popescu: if it doesn't work you can let us know here, we'll twist kako's arms over it for many years to come :D
mircea_popescu: can't update cursor position until i have a hash of all the 50000 icons i put in that folder.
