asciilifeform fucking hates www programming and anything even remotely connected
asciilifeform: the whole thing -will- have to be re-written...
asciilifeform: presently the rss link displays last 10 (in order added to db in first place, rather than order-of-phuctoring)
asciilifeform: 2) http://nosuchlabs.com/rss but not sure if this can be used in battlefield, because - guess what - werker never marked dates of phuctoring, and hence db schema never had a place for this. ergo the only dates we have are of -date submitted-
asciilifeform: 1) phuctor now has 'download this key' link
asciilifeform: <mircea_popescu> spend more than it costs to run an african/southeast asian village... << it is not clear to me that this is so. they aren't being given actual solid money, note. they are given bezzlars, most of which come back to the loop immediately
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: as for the 2nd, the idiot flailing re: 'cyber attack'
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: what's noteworthy... << the sheer lameness of the dissertation titles
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: we might have a case of the proverbial 'randomly wired neural network, close your eyes and the room is dark' on our hands. these N were not crapped our by dice, but are permuted versions of properly-generated N. and could have interesting mathematical properties
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: also looks like you did the 'magic' and non-magic keys together
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: afaik the distribution of factors in random large N is an open problem
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes was at some point surprised ?!
asciilifeform: (there may exist an instrumented allocator which will actually complain about being unable to find an appropriately-sized free block, but i am unaware of it)
asciilifeform: the only conclusive test for fragging is manually sweating over a memory dump 'with magnifying glass'
asciilifeform: that is, process has heavy 'footprint' but sum of allocations is a small fraction of it
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: can only be (easily) measured indirectly
asciilifeform: (on account of all of them being divisible by 4294967297)
asciilifeform: but elementarily, all of them are expected to appear prior to the end of the churn of the sks dump circa last month
asciilifeform: i will note that -not all- phuctored moduli to date are in 'magic98', nor have all of the 98 been (thus far) phuctored or even attempted
asciilifeform: (Apocalyptic may have posted the proof somewhere in the logs already. i can't recall.)
asciilifeform: e.g., cook in a restaurant frequented by builders who install glass in office towers paid for by bezzlatron
asciilifeform: because, as described very clearly by tlp (that piece cached on mircea_popescu's www) - they either carry out work directly for usg organs (official or otherwise, e.g., microshit) or perform services for the former
asciilifeform: the key unwritten truth here is that virtually all employed folks in usa are 'on welfare'
asciilifeform: i suppose, because the famous '47%' isn't quite half
asciilifeform: as do the basic mechanics of a goxatron - encouragement of off-chain payments via 'codes' rather than proper btc, goading users to keep coin in -exchange's- wallet, etc.
asciilifeform: the unmistakeable attributes of 'goxitude' - 'kyc/aml' crapolade, mysterious freezes/'questionings'/account dissolutions/'verifications' - carry on
asciilifeform: and microshit is now passing it to google et al
asciilifeform: in the same way as ibm passed it to microshit
asciilifeform: one could even argue that gox is not dead, but rather passed the torch to coinbase/bitstamp
asciilifeform: yes, it's the flames that destroy, not the boy with the matches
asciilifeform: in all the various senses of the word
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the one thing they know how to do is arson
asciilifeform: from outside of the walls it'll look quite like a 'goxing' yes.
asciilifeform: trinque: this is likely to be repeated, and next on the chopping block is probably 'coinbase'
asciilifeform: trinque: the basic crime of herr force - aside from the unforgivable 'didn't pass the bakshish up the chain' - is that a commoner has pretense to lordly things
asciilifeform: trinque: we (or at least i) do not know how many bitcoins -presently- for yellen
asciilifeform: better scam would result in what? more pumpkins ?
asciilifeform: as it is, half the planet toils so that u.s. schmucks can get tankers full of little orange plastic pumpkins every october to hang on their porch☟︎
asciilifeform: what would the hypothetical 'better scam' look like ?
asciilifeform: quite similar, in that plate was astonishingly expensive
asciilifeform: that's sorta like saying that they had modern construction equipment. yes, there were cranes powered with man-sized hamster wheels
asciilifeform: whereas today you can actually make a chump who insists on knowing precisely how he is being chumped be left with an np-complete problem!
asciilifeform: romans had not yet calculating machines, and did not have anything quite like modern 'derivatives' etc
