mircea_popescu: THEY WERE JUST TRYING TO PROP UP THE ECONOMY! and create jobs! and growth!
mircea_popescu: i get it, the view you're trying to argue against is contentious to you and involves you emotionally. this is fine but also not a problem of it, and consequently while the excuse "im flailing madly because that thing really bothered me" may serve to blind your own evaluator, it won't work similarly for anyone else.
mircea_popescu: funkenstein_: how about some consistency folks << wut is this inconsistency you has found in the holy scriptures ?
mircea_popescu: moreover, notice how they call America "Africa" for some reason. but it's fucking obvious that the place that will be raped throiugh "government sponsored cellphones to stick together with" is the us.
mircea_popescu:
http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=18-09-2015#1278428 << shocking, isn't it ? o hey, if hitler did it it was bad, but here's out last hope for "humanity" : blow everything to bits!!1 because going back to the stone age was a horrible plan when it was called Nerobefehl buit a spiffy idea when we came up with it (without, as is the socialist habit, even quoting sources!)
☝︎ mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo you suppose that angle's qntra-prosecutable ? "ex pedo's website now represented by bitcoin scammers"
mircea_popescu: As you can see he joined Google Code-in on behalf of wikimedia. << soi basically what we have here is a well known scammer representing wikimedia / wikipedia foundation at google hackerthons and whatnot ?
mircea_popescu: people are srsly not supposed to know shit in this much detail.
mircea_popescu: you just made a statement. how do you know and how can we verify the truthfulness of it.
mircea_popescu: so "rng boilerplate" MAY be a usable solution, but MUST NOT be dependend on going forward.
mircea_popescu: (and in most practical circumstances, a good chunk of the benefit of airgapping is that it ipso facto satisfies the above security standard)
mircea_popescu: so. they will be, at best, "relatively independent" as in "sufficient for the task at hand". this is great. so long as the above standard of security is observed.
mircea_popescu: any program which allows for the attacker to read in any sense the rng is not necessarily owning the box, but necessarily not part of the not-owning-the-box set either
☟︎ mircea_popescu: the interesting notion is, "box was not owned". and the standard for this is, "there is no way for attacker to read /urand"
mircea_popescu: the notion of "box was owned" is never really defined, and intuitively is equated with "have a root prompt". this is uninteresting.
mircea_popescu: the internals of the box must noit be exposed TO THIS STANDARD.
mircea_popescu: i propose to you that this view of boxen security is inconsiderate.
mircea_popescu: basic systems security is "attacker should not be able to read the machien rng".
mircea_popescu: however, rng is no good because now you leak rng bits, which ARE key bits.
mircea_popescu: it is true that if you try to "unfixed" it by using key info you necessarily leak key bits
mircea_popescu: specifically : it is not useful to have fixed "boilerplate".
mircea_popescu: you know it occurs to me, this is not necessarily the correct approach to the malleability problem.
mircea_popescu: the only correct way would be to PROVE the padding works for the coding scheme. this afaik was never EVEN DISCUSSED let alone attempted, and forget succeeded.
mircea_popescu: kinda funny how the losers of the decade manage to somehow project their endless hope-disappointment cycle on other people.
mircea_popescu: kinda lulzy, looking at all the derpy "news sites" that copied qntra but forgot to mention it.
mircea_popescu: wait, all the fuckiung machiens are ok, the problem starts once MEN get usable fuckdroids ?
mircea_popescu: 2015 brought the first inklings of acceptance, which is welcome.
mircea_popescu: i would say by and large the libertard mind understands it is an epiphenomenon in human history, and utterly doomed.
mircea_popescu: "Of the 60 national universities that offer courses in these disciplines, 26 have confirmed that they will either close or scale back their irrelevant faculties at the behest of Japan’s government."
mircea_popescu: dating site is basically where people who don't meet go. much like reddit is where people who don't read go.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: mno, the problem with dating sites is that unless you intend to meet a dog, you're in the wrong place.
mircea_popescu: so women exist whose pubic bone can not be palpated do they ?!
mircea_popescu: moral being that a great ass is wasted without a wasp waist.
mircea_popescu: in other news, hanbot in leather goods store. saleswoman decides to upsell her on leather belt. the innermost hole's about a mile too tight. saleswoman proceeds to turn store upside down out of saleswomany ambition. eventually finds one flimsy belth apparently intended for schoolgirls, that on the tightest setting is you know, sorta sitting there unobviously loose.
mircea_popescu: notrly. all the places where the beoble abound, you mostly find the trees covered in them.
mircea_popescu: well, other than being a total famished shithole / ex genocide site ec.
mircea_popescu: rwanda is that unique place on earth that banned plastic bags
