mircea_popescu: ing from SHA-1
to SHA-256."At least when it comes
to
this venture. Who knows what's currently being developed?
mircea_popescu: While
the documents describes an incredibly powerful code-breaking project, according
to what hacker and computer researcher Andrew "Bunnie" Huang
told
The Intercept, if you're using
the latest encryption, you don't have anything
to worry about. "Even if [WindsorGreen] gave a 100x advantage in cracking strength, it's a pittance compared
to
the additional strength conferred by going from say, 1024-bit RSA
to 4096-bit RSA or go
phf`: come
to
think of it
the whole exhaust in
the kitchen applies
to other cases where exhaust is mandatory: i like
the small of soldering rosin or
the smell of freshly sawed wood, but i wouldn't want
to spend much
time in a workshop
that doesn't have an exhaust. and you have similar failure mode: "come all
to work on projects!" hackerspaces notoriously don't have exhaust
mircea_popescu: shinohai when you realise
that's what it does whether in
the
toilet or not, you will... shit bricks and pellets of fishfood.
mircea_popescu: significantly helped by
the fact
that carp is, in romanian, crap. literally. you can buy "icre de crap" ie crap roe.
mircea_popescu: (i have azn friend who likes
trying
to bother me. feigned surprise at how we here in
the decadent west let
the
toilet water go
to waste, when we could raise a koi in
there. jsut
think alf! millions of
toilets!
tons of carp!)
mircea_popescu: i guess somehow
the obvious got unhappened in all languages because why would
they wanna
think of such
things!
mircea_popescu: eyah, somehow
teh socialist masquerading as co-op-ist isn't quite prepared for a) his nonsense
to be readily identified, "rock soup, rly?" and b)
the obvious "just make sure it's not dishcloth borscht" ready counter.
phf`: ahaha,
that's a great metaphor. i
think somebody, possibly Gogol had some similarly visceral imagery, but i don't remember it as a phrase
mircea_popescu: phf` is
there a ru equiv of
the "ciorba de spalatoare" ro concept ? dishcloth borscht ?
mircea_popescu: yeah. basically it's large scale fat distillation. might as well sit atop a refinery
tower.
diana_coman: makes some sense;
to me
though "smell of food" is fine as long as it's more like flavour of
thing on
the plate, NOT smell from
the kitchen ;
those people like
that smell from
the kitchen; admittedly it's still not industrial so yeah,
there is something
there
phf`: diana_coman: i
think smell of food is different in home kitchen vs industrial kitchen like at a restuarant
mircea_popescu: diana_coman let's distingush "smell of food" as in ie mp cooks for
three and "smell of kitchen", as in, restaurant. it's not
the smell of any specific food just like
the sewer is not
the smell of any specific ass. yes some people like some asses, but
that's as far as it goes.
mircea_popescu: if supermarkets offered
the old, hand cranked washing machine,
there'd be households with
the handcranked washing machine. and blogs dedicated
to how it's better. and so forth.
diana_coman knows people who LIKE
the smell/to smell of food; I'm quite sure
they know also what hunger means - firsthand as it were, even if in
their past rather
than present
mircea_popescu: but since bad venting you needn't get anywhere specifically,
they still have it.
mircea_popescu: if
the eu hadn't made it illegal, people'd still drive 1950 cars around
the eu. like you know, smog filled paris. what, his car did
the smog ?
mircea_popescu: that's where
the whole "upgrade or die" software nonsense comes from/
mircea_popescu: moreover,
they get proper stoves because
they can't get shitty stoves anywhere.
phf`: there's
too many places
to name
that fuck up
the whole vent
thing.
there's a small cafe next
to my apartment
that i can't go
to because
they don't have exhaust. but i
think it's a general "oh we need
to cook? i'm going
to replicate my mom's kitchen". at least
they now all get proper stoves, probably after watching cooking shows where fire goes "woosh" when it's cooking
mircea_popescu: subtle flaws, because nobody has any books and
the masters all went
to boring island and are sitting
there fishing all day or i dunno wtf.
mircea_popescu: yet another aspect of
that endless "your own head is your first and only enemy".
mircea_popescu: it's
the well meaning ignorance
that conspires
to fuck people's shit up.
mircea_popescu: this is my point, wrapped up : it's not even conspiraci , not in
the general sense.
mircea_popescu: i asked him why he put it in
though, he explained "to neutralize
the bla bla bla".
mircea_popescu: i pointed out
to him he's not supposed
to do
that, salt is
terrible for your health. he explained it's hymalayan rock salt, has no fluoride, is all good for health.
phf`: opened a bottle, used it a little bit, corked it again,
to use again later?
mircea_popescu: 2.
the new-age-y dood handling
the wine was offewring wine icecreams. fabulous, really. all vegan, he informed us insistently -- coconut base.
they really did
taste good.
mircea_popescu: utterly noob mistake. i've owned restaurants enough
to know you build
the whole fucking kitchen around
the vent, first you put
that in
then you places
the stoves. how's she
to know and how's she
to guess ?
mircea_popescu: 1.
the restaurant was unvented. if you went on
the loft above of it, you could
thouroughly smell it. so would your clothes if you spent enough
there -- such as,
time for a meal.
phf`: i'm not sure how you can subtly fuck up
that one
mircea_popescu: but i belittled and insulted
the mousy brunette playing
the ocd
type, we had a lot of fun.
mod6: are
the guests somehow integrated into some sort of daily script?
mircea_popescu: ok. now, wanna guess
the subtle ways or shall i just say ?
phf`: it's nifty, i
think i've seen variations on
the idea, but
this sounds like a solid execution
mircea_popescu: girl does not speak english, did not steal
the idea. she came up with it on her own. hired actual actresses for waitstaff,
they
throw fits and rant around,
to
the unspeakable confusion of (all other) patrons.
mircea_popescu: she got a nice place on
the cheap no doubt -- hey, what else is
the point of being in real estate ? -- and spent a year furnishing it into a concept restaurant.
mircea_popescu: so, girl discovered
this very promising place. in charge of it,
this stunning beauty of an actress/real estate agent. you understand me ?
this girl did understand you can't make it as an actress without money, but she didn't go into prostitution, or waitressing, like all others. she got herself real estate firm.
mircea_popescu: phf` not
that little known, spent half hour
trying
to syncronize watches with uk resident engineers coupla weeks back
phf`: on mac when you search for UTC in
timezones,
the system helpfully offers "UTC - United Kingdom" and sets
timezone
to GMT. little know fact: great britain switches from GMT
to BST, British Summer
Time during summer months. welcome
to computers!

BingoBoingo: That's

☟︎ danielpbarron: her friend was kinda cute, asked me
to sing a duet with her
danielpbarron: there were lots of questionables
there, but
this particular one seemed
to be strictly girl
BingoBoingo: danielpbarron: Actual girl or Female2Mayo
transperson?
danielpbarron: i found a karaoke venue
that lets me sing "offensive" songs. at some point after i finished singing one of my songs, a girl calls for my attention using my name. i don't recall what i said, but her reply was
to say
that i was "rude"
to her. i lose interest and walk away. later on i'm outside having a smoke and she confronts me again. says she "has a bone
to pick" with me about something she heard i had said
to one of her male frien

BingoBoingo: "A crushed cockroach leaks micrograms of linoleic acid. Linoleic acid is an essential nutrient in humans (you need
to eat about 3 grams/day) and is essentially odorless. If you are a cockroach it is an overwhelmingly powerful chemical signal - a pheromone -
to RUN AWAY! It makes evolutionary sense, doesn't it? Anything
that stomps on cockroaches should be avoided if you are a cockroach. "
BingoBoingo: Do
ther scammers care how -EV
their scam is for other parties?
BingoBoingo: Probably
the squirrels were
trained stooges. Catcher having
taken protection money may move
them
to different neighborhood and repeat on another sucker.
BingoBoingo: Anyways, have
the bushy
tailed rebels been defeated yet?
BingoBoingo: Still, just
the nature of
the work and party it was directed
too.
jhvh1: BingoBoingo:
The operation succeeded.
BingoBoingo: !~later
tell gabriel_laddel_p Just curious, but why did you suppose alf combing back
through logs for 100 USD would be good use of engineer
time? Collating information from logs is secretarial rather
than engineering work.
