mircea_popescu: for instance, im not on tor, have occasionally derped on imageboards. same of you i would guess.
mircea_popescu: just sayin, people imagining pointing out to idiot tor users how insecure that shit is would persuade anyone ? shit, hola got 8 million users with 8 million exploitable holes in it.
mircea_popescu: "install our buggy windows software, become part of a botnet"
mircea_popescu: eh, this'd be a lot harder hitting if you know... people didn't use retarded shit like whatever that thing was bothering copypaste
mircea_popescu: by now phuctor's dredged up enough material for a spy novel. "what does muryokoin temple, the australian pirate party and debian/gnu have in common ?"
mircea_popescu: kinda surprised you dun know it by name, on the grounds that afaik it's the only people doing what you do for a living, outside of russia
mircea_popescu: it's a retreat for some high level computer prograsmmers.
mircea_popescu:
http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=06-06-2015#1155952 << it could be made to mill finer but only with addition of particular apparatus. which can just as well be added as a standalone different mill being fed the prequalified choice grains. so let it be, we get to it once the world fails at doing anything useful with its time yet again, in a year or w/e.
☝︎ mircea_popescu: (and the shumitsu aka pearl of honesty was, at the time, the head honzo)
☟︎ mircea_popescu: asciilifeform shockingly enough, the muryokoin in muryokoin.org is a... temple in koyasan
mircea_popescu: if they run with it, a well. what's called a write-off.
mircea_popescu: this is a business, not a tech decision. they've not run with a hundred, can be trusted with a k.
mircea_popescu: well inasmuch as they seem to replace duds, i think we can expect.
mircea_popescu: an you judge that ordering a few boards to produce a few prototype cardanos is not useful data ?
mircea_popescu: nobody forces them to use em if they're broken, but we gotta know.
mircea_popescu: yes yes but the sapper doesn't get to contemplate his fate for too long and remain a sapper.
mircea_popescu: was complaining about exchanges earlier, williamdunne ? danielpbarron ?
mircea_popescu: meanwhile, who wants to do buy me ~1k worth of parts with this outfit ?
mircea_popescu: i dun see it. how do these people get paid anyway ? paypal ? or what is it ?
mircea_popescu: i can arrange for them to get a wire, what's teh big deal.
mircea_popescu: we end up with 6 functioning boards in 3 shipments out of 54 duds, so what.
mircea_popescu: you know, seeing how they seem to replace defects etc, it would not be the end of the world to blow a few btc on just ordering that half dozen as is
mircea_popescu: so basically, you're preparing a more mf-friendly board design (mostly to improve testability) and intend to have them try make half a dozen or something ?
mircea_popescu: well if the rng is 30ish and the board 100, we could easily expect 3^2 that many defects in the board.
mircea_popescu: so, didja mean a fedect free batch ? or else did all the items meanwhile turn defective /
mircea_popescu: and to round off the bellbottoms point from before : and all sorts of things that AREN'T stupidities, various tiny gems ensconced in the broader turd get washed out with the water.
mircea_popescu: dear world : fuck you. you will adapt to every nook and crany of our thought. ESPECIALLY the really painful, apparently gratuitous ones. love, ~the "libertarians".
mircea_popescu: "The libertarian Bitcoinists need to get out of their bubble. Yes, they created BItcoin, but it doesn't belong to them, it belongs to anybody and everybody, and it simply can't live on existing as it did in 2013."
mircea_popescu remembers a quainter time, back when to be a leader one first had to be followed. a time when "being certified" was another way to say "being insane". stuff like that.
mircea_popescu: to understand why, think of someone making a map. he doesn't ask "does this rock benefit anyone or may i just omit it from my map ?" because while the thing may not benefit, the omission sinks ships.
mircea_popescu: you may never consider "the benefit" of design when designing, in these terms.
mircea_popescu: let's not confuse the humanity we see reflected in the eyes of the beast with the actual beast.
mircea_popescu: every stupidity's excused by youth, people genuinely think the 80s were cool just because that's the first time they got laid. people actually used to think bellbottoms look hot because they remembered them filled with round butts of the fillies they cared about, back in that age.
mircea_popescu: and if nobody does it, we'll do it, once phuctor's done running.
mircea_popescu: let anyone with a clue (tm) do it themselves, it doesn't take much more brain than what a chicken has to cluck at the freshly disturbed ground for that's where the worms are.
mircea_popescu: you don't include bakeries into wheat harvesters to be driven across wheat fields, and you don't need phuctor to do everything either.
mircea_popescu: yes, moduli that it flags should be put through a proper factorization. this is a task a) separate from what phuctor does and b) to be done indepentently of what phuctor does.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: at the time phuctor was designed in 2013, the idea was that no keys could ever be factored. for this purpose, phuctor as designed is exactly adequate.
mircea_popescu: lol you're in the position of someone who made a moon exploration vessel, discovered life on the moon and is now kicking himself for not having included a condom factory in the ship.
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> thing is, it is actually possible for the same phuctor url to be new twice. << it'll be fine im sure.
mircea_popescu: for the record, my ftp problem was that someone had the bright idea of allowing port 21, but not port 20.
mircea_popescu: <cazalla> crystalspace3d.org is slow as fuck to get cs-win32libs-2.1_003.exe from btw << link ? jurov can then mirror it along with everything else.
mircea_popescu: yes, because that's what i'm going to do with my time, sniff motherfucking packlets.
mircea_popescu: and what am i to do, go rebuild apache or install alsa or what the fucking shit already
mircea_popescu: open source is an open invitation to waste your life debugging stupid shti
