decimation: '“Google could be doing business with firearms businesses. The thing is they won’t because of their stance [against firearms]. I can’t advertise on Google. I can’t advertise on Facebook. I can’t use Amazon, because they prohibit the majority of my products. I closed down that account over a year ago, and I still get notices from them, regardless of the emails I sent to them telling them that I’m not selling with them.”
mircea_popescu: wait. you could buy a kalash from karrasch ?!
mircea_popescu: the usg has no priviledged relationship with the law. it's a poor mockery thereof.
decimation: the problem is that the vector usg uses is civilization-destroying. essentially "obey the law" becomes more of a farce until it becomes a laughing matter
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform more like "maintaining your penis in a state where it's enjoyable without ruining your life"
mircea_popescu: and fwiw a principle i studiously observed throughout my life and in all aspects so far. cop wants to bitch about tickets, his department can enjoy thirty eight different lawsuits.

Vexual: and a days folding money might fit in the back pocket
Vexual: i like the art deco font, reminds me of a time i can't possibly remember
mircea_popescu: the nontriviality there is a little ofsometing else. the thought process of "she's a total bitch, let me try and work with her nevertheless" is responsible for more unhappy marriages than any other thing.
mircea_popescu: make a steak out of the whole thing.
mircea_popescu: decimation pity they don't have the backbone (and leadership) to start a cash only program, and publicly denounce banking as a scam.

asciilifeform: 'We, the true "only official foundation of Bitcoin" declare ourselves the new leaders. Our main goal will be hookers and blow for everyone! Our main concern will be beer and Bitcoin of course. We will represent the bitcoin community from now on in the correct way to the outside world and all important people need to bow to us and bribe us to get a foot in the door. It will also be lucrative for the people in power to infiltrat
mircea_popescu: i thought this was highly personal and entirely idiosyncratic a view
hanbot: <mircea_popescu> it's this particular concoction of the forcible solipsism of crusoe with the narcissism of a fifteen year old boy that grew up alone among cows, with the desperation of a dying beggar on the dark side of the moon. << ahahaha best review evar
decimation: decimation: i wonder if the device keys have even been 'phuctored' ever. << "CMs MUST store and maintain the CM Device Certificate RSA private/public key pairs. The CM MUST store the CM Device Certificate private keys in a manner that deters unauthorized disclosure and modification. Also, CMs SHOULD prevent debugger tools from reading the CM Device Certificate private key in production devices by restricting or blocking physical

mircea_popescu: about a farmer. who was in debt. who was married to a marry sue, whose published novel saves the farm.
mircea_popescu: so she stopped writing ~poetry~. and instead wrote a miserable novel
mircea_popescu: but then!!11 for it has a c. then her husband , who you know, was hoping to be able to enjoy a drink in a bar without being laughed into the ground sometime before he dies completely forbade any further writings
mircea_popescu: but then, for it doesn't end there! then she confronted teh comedy goldminers by saying that "they each paid a quarter to see a fool, but she's been paid 50 bux and sees a roomfull of fools"
mircea_popescu: a) claimed that the poor arrangement / band / etc were the reason people "didn't like" her 2nd performance.
asciilifeform: i was expecting a reference to the maths girl
mircea_popescu: was a great amusement for a little bit
mircea_popescu: this was a simple woman who couldn't write, that infatuated herself with the notion that she can produce poetry
asciilifeform wonders whether, if mircea_popescu offered a bounty, one of the flunkies would walk in with 'smoking gun' dirt
mircea_popescu: http://trilema.com/2010/literara-este-grea/ << julia a moore.
asciilifeform: there is a whole not-very-well-hidden world of what one might call 'cardinal richelieu' ('...six words of the honest man!') infrastructure, waiting for command from usg to send 'd34th thr34tz!!!1111!!!' to some crowned head that are Provably!111! from your house, when the time comes
assbot: Logged on 28-08-2014 03:56:01; asciilifeform: there is also the tired, old, mundane 'there is a kilo of cocaine in your toilet tank' theorem.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i'm not certain that a scan taking >year is worth much
asciilifeform: there is a tradition in usa of 'deniable' snooping

Vexual: if youre making a node box, youd better have somewhere to plug in a miner
decimation: asciilifeform: in general, docsis is a "reference implementation" of usg crypto, complete with fips standards etc.
asciilifeform: Vexual: has to be a *physical* box
asciilifeform: this is, recall, a -reference- implementation
decimation: used for authentication. The CM MUST use the CM Device Certificate issued from the new PKI when authenticating with a DOCSIS 3.1 or higher CMTS. The CM is to use the CM Device Certificate issued from the legacy PKI when authenticating with a DOCSIS 3.0 or older version of DOCSIS CMTS."
decimation: ah "The CM MUST have two factory installed CM Device Certificates (and their associated private keys). The CM MUST have a CM Device Certificate installed that is issued from the new PKI. The CM MUST have a CM Device Certificate installed that is issued from the legacy PKI. The CM MUST have the same RSA public key in the CM Device Certificate as the RSA public key in the BPKM Attributes depending upon which CM Device Certificate is
asciilifeform: toy crypto - it's not just a bad idea, it's the law! (TM)
asciilifeform: punkman: got a 10Gb/s pipe somewhere in asia ?
BingoBoingo: If not already a thing.
asciilifeform: and prefers to diddle a physical NIC directly, even.
asciilifeform: for a less-than-gargantuan pipe, this scales down in the obvious statistical way.
asciilifeform: decimation: i haven't a clue, but generally a mass-produced gadget in usa -never- used proper public key crypto
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it needs roughly same resources as a good spamatron
gribble: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Glub&defid=4862930 | Tipping a narrow necked bottle of olive oil upside down in an attempt to pour a greater quantity which results in a "glub" sound as air fills the bottle replacing the  ...
asciilifeform: one interesting way would be, resources permitting, a massive ipv4 post scan for 8333...
mircea_popescu: all the people who act all shocked when gavin & co can't get enough credit to write a hello world in basic fail to recognize about two years of history trying to gently nudge, then educate, then eventually beat the idiots into some sort of shape
asciilifeform: i'm a bit curious how their seed blob is generated
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: as it is, it's a fallback after dns (snipped in patch i proposed last night) and irc mechanizms.
asciilifeform: punkman: generally works within a few sec. when works
punkman: just sent a patch to the list, wonder if it'll go through
mod6: yeah, i wanna re-iterate here, all of the wedging issues ben and I had were /with/ checkpoints included. if we apply the rm_checkpoints patch, no longer a problem.
asciilifeform: body of msg is a cleartext signed pgpgram
mod6: we must get this patched RI repeatable (and it was before a few days ago) before we can cut release.
asciilifeform: one diddled node at a time.
mircea_popescu: btw, since you were asking ( a while ago) : found the oldest src set, monday may 21st 2012
asciilifeform uses bitcoin as a scientific toy, curio, but if he had been firing it in anger for years as mircea_popescu had, would have finished own implementation eons ago
asciilifeform keeps a number of editions going
mircea_popescu: and yeah pretty sure we're not the onlyones. not by a longmargin.
mod6: yeah. that's the new plan. all magic numbers in a config file.
asciilifeform: not proclaiming a molested britneychain as proven fact yet, but if it had been, it would look rather much like this.
mod6: I wasn't fully sure that it wasn't our build script or something wonky screwing it up... but a hand-build showed the same result.
mod6: We wanted to collect as much data as possible before we let other know in #b-a. Hence the delay until now.
asciilifeform: mod6: make a copy of .bitcoin shortly prior to wedge
mod6: had a tinfoil hat on and everything heheh
mod6: will have a fresh one in an hour or two
mod6: i probably do, but I'm making a fresh sync now.
mod6: asciilifeform: there is a snippit in the matrix one. not sure if I have a full one still.
mod6: so if anyone else sees any wedging on a checkpoint block like the following, let me know right away, pm me if required: http://dpaste.com/1N3NPT9
mircea_popescu: mod6 i didn't see a 168000 exactly freeze either, ever
asciilifeform: when it encounters a shit-feeder
asciilifeform: cuntbearer << can't help but imagine this as something like a cupbearer
mircea_popescu: such a dumb premise tho. "i will write very bad prose, which will prove to you that sensible is shocking!!!1"
mircea_popescu: i guess anything can be a mega troll there.
mircea_popescu: which is why english, latin and every other language has a gender pronoun and declension.
asciilifeform: at any rate it was a mega-troll in gringolandia
mircea_popescu: well here's the thing : i don't happen to give a shit about the guy's color
mircea_popescu: he seems to be proposing the notion that saying she when i mean a cuntbearer is about as bad as inventing a special ble pronoun to denote a guy's color
asciilifeform: mr h was trying, as a young academic in usa, to troll liberasts without being stoned to death immediately
mircea_popescu: a) it does not shock me.
mircea_popescu: guess I cannot truly believe that anyone would see this piece that way. To misperceive it this way would be like calling someone a vicious racist for telling other people "The word 'nigger' is extremely offensive." If allusions to racism, especially for the purpose of satirizing racism and its cousins, are confused with racism itself, then I think it is time to stop writing."
mircea_popescu: ith this piece, despite-but also because of-its shock value. I think it makes its point better than any factual article could. As a friend of mine said, "It makes you so uncomfortable that you can't ignore it." I admit that rereading it makes even me, the author, uncomfortable! Numerous friends have warned me that in publishing this piece I am taking a serious risk of earning myself a reputation as a terrible racist. I
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it is (i thought this was very obvious) a spoof on subject
mod6: but, its weird, because a week ago i ran a full sync of: v0.5.3 + {1, rm_rf_upnp, 2, 3, 4, 6} and sync'd just fine, as you can see in the matrix notes (was able to send/receive here: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=FSA9gxs8)
mod6: we also note that if you do remove checkpoints, obv, this is no longer a problem.
