mircea_popescu: but yes, Framedragger has it, the topic was whether engineer, not whether "good" or "bad" or whatever.
asciilifeform: but as it is, they have 'movement' which consistently and insistently lies about various aspects. for not especially inscrutable political reasons.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you can't tell ?!
asciilifeform: Framedragger: there'd be no even theoretical 'suppressed', think.
Framedragger: asciilifeform: that's true, it's "rough around the edges" is an understatement for now. and in general, a ~very~ problematic position to be in. there is that...
mircea_popescu: this is like observing that not-particularily-bright kid who evidently likes cars is probably a driver.
Framedragger: anyway, the point is, she did lots of technical work after gender change.
asciilifeform: Framedragger: think about it. if it worked --- there's be no 'they'.
mircea_popescu: ftr, prostitution is in point of fact the single most common occupation of transsexuals of any description, as well as of "sex activists" of whatever flavour.
Framedragger: asciilifeform: i disagree. in their mind, it is completely consistent to do activism as they are 'suppressed', etc.; so i don't see how that would necessarily follow
asciilifeform: Framedragger: the more general observation is that if 'trans'-creation worked worth a tinker's damn, there would be no 'activist category' for it, there'd be just a set of, e.g., chix, with peculiar biographies that nobody but their mothers even have to know about, theoretically
mircea_popescu: lol this shit. "The book especially defames trans women who are attracted to men, calling them "homosexual transsexuals" as if they were men themselves." ... which... they aren't, because... reasons ?
Framedragger: asciilifeform: from skimming her bio, she went into activism after tech career retirement, which followed ~quite a bit after~ the change. inferring cause-effect there is imho stretching it ~very~ much. but then, i haven't met her, etc.
mircea_popescu: now im gonna have to read that crap. why do i get involved in these things!
Framedragger: aha rightright. that's about as much as i know, tho
asciilifeform: quite analogous to what the familiar compiler does .
asciilifeform: Framedragger: vlsi today simply refers to the practice of auto-generating (rather than drawing by hand) an ic layout, using 'basic blocks'
Framedragger: from initial skim of her bio, after gender change, too
Framedragger: she's been quite productive tho, neh? can't deny that?
asciilifeform: and yes, i have the vlsi textbook. ( i also have paul graham's lisps, and schneier's 1993 encyclopaedia, even!111 )
asciilifeform: set about organizing witchhunts of psychologists who wouldn't repeat the 'party line'.
asciilifeform: ^ so no, conway was not 'the good trans', went full bore tard not so long after 'switch'.
a111: Logged on 2014-02-21 23:57 asciilifeform: conway became the personal nemesis of the author
mircea_popescu: meanwhile at social justice camp for women in tech, https://68.media.tumblr.com/64df20c85ac7652be1ba5985e1dd1fcf/tumblr_n6imj27nR71t0969ao1_1280.jpg
Framedragger: one lynn conway.. this name was mentioned here wasn't it..
mircea_popescu: Framedragger you know who was the original transgender engineer (and of course the smegma stains don't mention her, because why would they!) ?
Framedragger: used to shy away from generalising based this, i have to admit. but it's such an accurate signal (what are the chances that trans-crypto-engineer-sjw will be posting stuff related to the crpyto-engineer part?), it's mindboggling
Framedragger: happens all the damn time. :/
Framedragger: > hm, this other person rants about something-politics, can't even be arsed to read. no content
Framedragger: > find interesting post; follow to interesting person's twitter; get suggestion whom to follow, on the surface it looks good (e.g. "also a hardware engineer", etc.)
asciilifeform: 'The group is asking Buytaert to reexamine Garfield's case and, if he was not found to be violating Drupal's code of conduct, issue a public apology. They also want Buytaert to update Drupal's code to ban discrimination based on "peaceful, consensual, law-abiding beliefs" and craft clear rules on code of conduct that will be applied openly.' << this, apparently.
asciilifeform: 'we are vehemently opposed to discrimination, harassment, intimidation, bullying, doxxing, secret trials, and digging up information on members' personal lives."' << really nao, appelbaum?
asciilifeform: the lulzy bit, is that the entire 'project' would not exist then.
mircea_popescu: group of dorks complains about the rest of the dorks doing the guy a fucking favour.
mircea_popescu: dude, not going to their shitty "conferences" is the best way to a) get some work done and b) eat well.
mircea_popescu: i guess latest trilema should be right up their... alley.
mircea_popescu: how the fuck does "exiling" work, supposedly ?
asciilifeform: 'Scores of Drupal developers have formed a protest against the exiling of a project veteran who dabbled in kinky sci-fi hanky-panky.'
deedbot: http://trilema.com/2017/menstruation-lulz/ << Trilema - Menstruation lulz
Framedragger: (current convenience simply allows for "type message, give recipient, get back url to send to", and any additional stuff is ben_vulpes' et al. 'programm0rs like to masturbate with complexity')
Framedragger: no, fuck it, it's terrible throughout.
asciilifeform: Framedragger: then i dun even grasp how it was supposed to work at all
Framedragger: 1. it's why i asked, re. convenience, 2. yeah it's a terrible idea, hm, and 3. there was no intention to do any encrypting/signing on the server - god forbid
a111: Logged on 2017-04-19 10:47 Framedragger: asciilifeform: just fyi i am unable to download /sadmods. i am using curl with no retry. no biggie, and i know you have more important things to do :)
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-04-19#1645911 << the usual reason. ☝︎
asciilifeform: some thing has NO business ever being 'convenient'.
asciilifeform: if folx start 'conveniencing' and auto-sending pgpgrams, it will become necessary to require outer signatures (i.e. over ciphertext) and i, for example, will simply not read messages from anyone i suspect of auto-sending.
asciilifeform: nor is it purely a matter of 'oh, i'll automate sending, asciilifeform can choose whether to automate decoding'
asciilifeform: how? and have you thought about how possibly other people do not ~want~ this 'convenience' ? i for instance have no intention of ever automating any part of my pgp process. whatsoever.
a111: Logged on 2017-04-19 12:39 Framedragger: is there a more convenient way of organising and/or sending pgpgrams to irc folx? i have http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/iCXI2/?raw=true which is ~fine. (it'll complain about unsigned key if target is such, and gpg will ask y/n there. add `--trust-model always` to gpg command if you don't like this and like to live dangerously)
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-04-19#1645913 << is this really a bottleneck for you, Framedragger ? ☝︎
asciilifeform: we want this ?!!
asciilifeform: and under what circumstances is it that i can't get to irc, but ~can~ get to 'www endpoint' ?
asciilifeform: and how the hell would you 'messages would need to be signed' ?!
a111: Logged on 2017-04-19 12:43 Framedragger: i could add www endpoint to scriba which would take in encrypt pgpgrams, and scriba would PM them to target. to avoid abuse etc., messages would need to be signed, tho. not sure how useful. (i'd maybe use this. could pgpgram while not connected to irc. maybe overthinking this before impending gossipd)

Framedragger: (then, just do `ep frame` to encrypt to my key e.g., type msg as per gpg, get paste url)

ben_vulpes: odd because in what world is that a "proof of concept", unless there's some bass ackwards msft-trained IT snotrag 'ethics' line that somehow justifies the pretense to proof of a video a twelve-year old could have faked
ben_vulpes: where if i read correctly, chrome udp's passwords to such services as gmail in such a way as to 'encrypt' them but still reveal their length
ben_vulpes: fun temporal proximity coincidence to http://www.ringroadbug.com/ showing up in #b-a, where i found the hilarious nsf-grantee's website
ben_vulpes: "The Bindmans LLP law firm, acting on behalf of (green party, house of lords rep) Jones, contacted six of those listed to verify their passwords...In response, five of the six gave passwords that matched those given in the letter and the sixth was nearly a match."

asciilifeform: i must've missed this one
mircea_popescu: stupid name too
mircea_popescu: nono, some beauty contest reject that then failed to find her cocksucker career, went into congressional aide pretense.
mircea_popescu: i wonder how long till we cycle back to that brunette fucktard, what's her name.
mircea_popescu: o look, it's random scam nonsense day on trilema.
asciilifeform: (unless you want to dispute whether it is correct to say 'hashpower' if someone somewhere is mining using a non-bruteforce algo, 'cheating', or with whatever witchcraft that doesn't require walking the hash)
asciilifeform: ergo the hashpower
asciilifeform: right. but if you notice that a block is happening every 3min, you can also estimate the next change in diff
ben_vulpes: only adjusts every two weeks, right?

asciilifeform: 'clients stop using federated checkpoints when if RSK hashing power is over 66% of the maximum BTC hashing difficulty observed in the best chain and the fees paid in a block are higher or equal to the average reward of a Bitcoin block.' << first, afaik, instance of altshitcoin audacious enough to have hardcoded embrace&extinguish automated detector.
asciilifeform: 'RSK WILL NEVER PROPOSE A FORK TO INTERVENE IN A SITUATION BETWEEN PARTIES OR USERS SUCH AS THE DAO SITUATION' << allcaps, mustbetrue!
asciilifeform: 'RSK miners cannot double-spend, as the Federation provides the checkpointing service, and every Federation member node is highly connected to the RSK network to prevent Sybil attacks. The Federation will use the checkpointing power to prevent reorganizations of high depth which are not related to a protocol fault.

ben_vulpes: getting 51% signatures for each trade? or...?
ben_vulpes: this implies they'll run their own rsk central bank thinger?
asciilifeform: until then, plain promisetronics.
asciilifeform: sooooooo apparently mutilation of bitcoin is part of the plan.
asciilifeform: 'At least 51% percent of the Federation members signatures are required to transfer bitcoins out of the peg wallet. However, once Bitcoin soft-forks to support the drivechain BIP RSK proposed, unlocking funds from the peg will require 51% percent acknowledgement by the merge-mining hashing power as well. '
asciilifeform: 'Bitcoin cannot verify the authenticity of balances on another blockchain. When a user intends to convert BTC to SBTC, some BTC are locked in Bitcoin and the same amount of SBTC is unlocked in RSK. '
ben_vulpes: how do these "two way pegs" work?
