trinque: I also have a mental ticket for that
trinque: though I can take eating key fingerprints as a feature request
mod6: the entire pub-key or just a fingerprint?
trinque: as a dpaste
trinque: I'm going to fix that in a bit
asciilifeform: establishment, and that pressure to succeed might sporadically give rise to improved performance, leading to at least a few instances of success. But if in fact failure is no problem at all, and if instead there was some sort of pressure to fail, then we would see exactly what we do see.'
asciilifeform: 'Looking at this broad landscape of failure, there are two ways to interpret it. One is that the US officialdom is the most incompetent one imaginable, and can't ever get anything right. But another is that they do not succeed for a distinctly different reason: they don't succeed because results don't matter. You see, if failure were a problem, then there would be some sort of pressure coming from somewhere or other within the
decimation: plus there are various databuses the connect the plane. supposedly on new planes they are moving to a special form of ethernet, strangely enough
asciilifeform like a t0t4l n00b, always assumed that junk lives in the cockpit, under the dashboard
decimation: there's some conspiracy theorists who believe that the missing malaysian 777 might have been a heist pulled off by guys who busted into the engineering bay and messed with the electronics
decimation: speaking of which https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2S-Cggs1jOo < video tour of a 777 engineering/electronics bay while in flight
asciilifeform: (there's a 'bleeding edge' version pushed out by ada foundation, which slowly merges back into gcc, as i understand. that version is also gpl, but the standard lib is also gpl - unlike the gcc ada, where it is lgpl)
decimation: because it's a us mil standard
BingoBoingo: So... Anyone here know chinese? Good enought to translate a Hand complete police report? ☟︎
mircea_popescu: what a revolutionary concept.
mircea_popescu: what difference does it make ? we have a posterity!
mircea_popescu: not clear what those words mean, so let's be explicit : as far as the website is concerned, the preferred display is for every block that included a bundle to be listed, clickable, lead to bundle. to the right of it, enumerated, the individual deeds that were therein bundled
trinque: mircea_popescu: ah so publish as a bundle, but then upload the parts separate?
ascii_field: i'll spoil a little of it: manufacturing samples arriving sometime late this wk. or early next
mircea_popescu: ascii_field btw, am i getting a letter here ?
gabriel_laddel: can you picture a worse thing for applying to nsa ? << Is there something 'wrong' with Russians?
ascii_field: can you picture a worse thing for applying to nsa ?
mircea_popescu: trinque no, it's up there with some soi-dissant feminist derps writing a book on the "women in Marines history"
gabriel_laddel: There is a bunch more of this nonsense available on their website. "African Americans in Cryptologic history" in spite of there not being a single(!) black mathematician.
gabriel_laddel: "Our vision is to create a workplace environment that reflects diversity and inclusion in its broadest context and that ensures every employee has the opportunity to reach his or her full potential and is treated with respect and fairness." -- GEN Keith Alexander - Director NSA/Chief CSS
assbot: Logged on 02-03-2015 21:26:43; ascii_field: the exchanges are plugged into a pipe that leads straight to hell, out of which devils emerge every so often
BingoBoingo: If it wasn't going to be targeted it wouldn't be much of a registrar
ascii_field: but deedbot just needs a box that'll stay up, no ?
ascii_field: the exchanges are plugged into a pipe that leads straight to hell, out of which devils emerge every so often ☟︎
ascii_field: must be trickier than it looks, writing a deedbot
mircea_popescu: trinque include a deed explaining you're maintaining it and listing its feed btc addy.
trinque: there needs to be a word for design choices which open up an infinite space of taped on features
mircea_popescu: well so now that you're done with deedbot you can start over on a whole new raft of stuff :D
mircea_popescu: did anyone keep a backup of the previous deed site ?
trinque: mircea_popescu: yeh, these pastebins aren't a great place for history
mircea_popescu: anyway. this goes to show exactly wtf the importance of a WORKING deedbot actrually is.
trinque: none of those URLs have a paste at them
trinque shall dial back the paranoia a notch
mircea_popescu: they're a convenience, which is fine, but...
mircea_popescu: well in this case it's plaintext. but srsly, we have no good reason nor a standing policy to force everyone to use pastebins we don't own.
davout: mircea_popescu: prolly not having to regex a gpg signed message out of a webpage
gabriel_laddel: Ah yes, a refined Hungarian banker speaking English
mircea_popescu: he has a funny accent.
gabriel_laddel: I was doing some work, came across a video of derps derping at Von N. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vLbllFHBQM4
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: making a human do grep's job. i iz disappoint.
trinque: davout: stick a .txt on it
assbot: You rated user mpoe on 09-Oct-2014, with a rating of 1, and supplied these additional notes: Current MPEx account for #bitcoin-assets deed purposes.
chetty: <mircea_popescu> i don't think even reagan would have considered - considered! mind you - trying for a free market in army services.// its not a free market he is trying its a crony market
mircea_popescu: i don't think even reagan would have considered - considered! mind you - trying for a free market in army services.
mircea_popescu: but as a side point : for all the fixed ideas in the electoral population about what the labels "republican" or "democrat" mean, i would like to point out obama is by far the strongest believer in free markets the white house has had in a long time.
gabriel_laddel: 19:01 << you don't have to /say/ that. "We think this is a serious overreach of federal power, and ..."
mircea_popescu: 18mn a year or something.
mats: well you can take the lack of reporting as a sign that the us got trounced again
mircea_popescu: the last successful us campaign in the area was done within a few hours.
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=02-03-2015#1038649 << that's not the sort of principle that gets you to be a fiat baron. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: shit, 200k for a blackhawk ?!
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=02-03-2015#1038602 << the many ways to fuck up a "voting" process designed by the same idiots that did the scam foundation thing ☝︎
gabriel_laddel: Even if Aaron was only a useful idiot.
gabriel_laddel: Anyways, this is what I have in mind when I say "new format" - and no, I don't think the 'adults' would be happy about a program that converts arbitary PDFs into this sort of program, as evidenced by no bezzle barons funding Aaron Swartz's legal defense.
gabriel_laddel: all the data used to perform the computations should have a "warning - unlinked <location of data, who is responsible for it>" unless a human resolved it to the correct source and bundled it along with the paper
gabriel_laddel: I should have better defined what I mean by "useful format": all the citations must be clickable, and when you click on them, they open up the linked paper, or tell you where it is located (i.e., behind a paywall). I don't want plaintext output, but rather a better format with the exact same formatting as the original pdf that allows me to click, drag-and-drop and add new content. The authors etc should all be progr
gabriel_laddel: 14:16:34 BingoBoingo: gabriel_laddel: the 'adults' are not going to be happy about you writing a program that converts all books in libgen.info + all papers you can get of school networks into a useful format via a combination of OCR and heuristic hackery << Plain OCR is normally sufficient for books without advanced mathematics as long as you are willing to liberate the pages from the spine. Test it with a sheetfed
jurov: ^ lizard hitler has a cozy wagon
jurov: https://fbcdn-sphotos-a-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xpf1/v/t1.0-9/11025132_835642146505938_772353907123032308_n.jpg?oh=f29f5c9505c448acc3d8c28c02ac2cea&oe=5576C30A&__gda__=1431034827_08e526a1213f05300da00553e74c3c83
mircea_popescu: unrelatedly, i just ingested a quart of the world's best icecream. BEST you hear me ?
jurov: She was a soothsayer and prophesied a fall of the Third reich
mircea_popescu: <ben_vulpes> i don't buy this 'controlled chaos'. isis is a mortal threat << more importantly, isis EXISTS because it was born out of the *previous* iteration of "we didn't really get our asses handed to us like little girls, we were really AIMING to be face down, feet in the air"
mircea_popescu: "you can always make a cheaper rocket"
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> if such a thing were to exist - major problems << sure it exists. it's how the us navy lost china sea.
BingoBoingo: The Man Portable machine has a keyboard
BingoBoingo: Yubikeys have been used to store fixed long passwords for local use. Just works like a USB keyboard in that case. Just...
asciilifeform: why would anyone use a device such as 'yubikey' for access to a man-portable machine ?
asciilifeform: well, by 'currently' meaning a few hrs./wk, sadly
asciilifeform: mod6: i have one; currently writing a netbsd kernel driv. for the nand flash
mod6: who is testing a pogo currently? asciilifeform, danielpbarron and BingoBoingo?
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I'm telling you the film is a lulzmine
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Appears to indeed be a Yubikey
asciilifeform: is that a mtgox otp generator ?
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: i'm not certain that a worthwhile picture can be obtained solely in english.
ben_vulpes: I need a primer on that period.
gabriel_laddel: why, all of the sudden are they a immediate threat to a hypothetical?
assbot: 26 results for 'gravity well' : http://s.b-a.link/?q=gravity+well
ben_vulpes: i don't buy this 'controlled chaos'. isis is a mortal threat to the us (and all client states) and they desire desperately to wipe it out.
ben_vulpes: give me a break.
ben_vulpes: didn't they just retain some 20k unseasoned mercs to go after a mob of kalash-equipped pashtuns?
ben_vulpes: this is a strictly us problem, though.
asciilifeform: by how much, requires a very detailed study of surviving soviet literature. which i presently lack the time for. but might get back to one day
ben_vulpes: i still do not see a need for this wacky battery of yours.
asciilifeform: a 'cessna' would be a car-sized ordinary airplane, no ?
ben_vulpes: there are the S.A. submersibles.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: ever find it interesting that there are wankatronic societies like the 'amateur space' thing linked earlier, but nobody (has admitted to) sending a 100% amateur-built unmanned machine across, e.g., atlantic ?
ben_vulpes: that's a pessimistic cone.
asciilifeform: nor is a 300km accuracy cone acceptable for most cargo other than nuke
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: if the thing's reasonably robust, a parabolic delivery trajectory should suffice.
asciilifeform: but just such a battery could make the difference between an unmanned flying machine that can deliver $thing between point a and b, say
asciilifeform: there are certain methods of making a battery that are not used in modern consumer types
ben_vulpes: moreover, a largely useless project.
asciilifeform: nobody is ever building any of what is pictured on that page on anything other than a fleet-of-mazeratis budget
asciilifeform: thestringpuller: it's either a usg-controlled semi-scam, or doomed to be suppressed
assbot: 12 results for 'you and the atomic bomb' : http://s.b-a.link/?q=you+and+the+atomic+bomb
