ben_vulpes: ah
there's
the hanbot piece in muhfeeds.
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: also "perform backups and regularly restore from
them"
mats: >Trump orders construction of border wall, moves
to increase deportations
mircea_popescu: too bad she only blesses people wearing
the blessed crocs.
phf: we have evoked
the name of saint apologia,
therefore we are above reproach
phf: "I appologize [...] I believe we did what we had
to do"
that's not how appologies work.
phf: there's
this anti-japanese-whaling direct action guy, who got kicked out of greenpiece in
the early 2000s for
too much direct actioning
mircea_popescu recalls a
time in
the 90s... concidentally at
the
time
the world was last great i was
too young
to care much about women.
phf: that's
the most "direct action" any greenpiece activist participated in
the past 30 years
mircea_popescu: ie if i sold some btc
to buy lm and relocate it
to
turkmenistan
mircea_popescu: whatever
the
thing which goes "your money has no value here"
mircea_popescu: this is ~why fcc-like authorities exist.
to forbid
the usg
to buy and derp like
this.
mircea_popescu: ie, yes
the case is "reasonable likelihood of confusion", but no
this does not mean 'don't use
the word'.
mircea_popescu: i deemed myselg well informed by
the nonfakenews outlets.
mircea_popescu: because why. not like it's not in
the logs
that
they dun werk.
trinque: why indeed.
they're obedient creatures and
this
they're
told is of
the category of "fancy shit you can bolt
to
the side of" your house
trinque: nah, it's much closer
to "I just want
to" and govt is responsible for preventing it
phf: "front
toward enemy"
mircea_popescu: phf nah,
the idea is you get exactly like current, "security door" except
the half inch steel sheet is on
the inside,
then 3 claymores stacked,
then a
thin al profile on
the outside facing. have a shock detector modeled on 90% of
the kinetic delivery of
the standard issue us invasion corps battering ram.
phf: hmm, i can't recall anyone doing it in
the 90s. i
think
this is a uniquely american problem
though, where you can't
trust frame
to hold
the door in place.
traditional solution is
to simply put
the door on welded frame inside a concrete hole, so you will need something better
than a claymore
to dislodge it
mircea_popescu: i'm kinda surprised nobody does
the claymore security door
thing. "if you shock
this door... nice knowing you."
trinque: whatever,
they love
to sit
there and piss about importantly on
the phone with 300 people surrounding
mircea_popescu: specificity of diddling again applies. just as long as your response is not categorically identifiable,
the empire is stuck in
the one place it hates.
mircea_popescu: ~nothing easier in
the world
than making a
team of us experts shit
their pants and spend
the rest of
the day loitering waiting for "the conversation"
to happen.
mircea_popescu: and you're wrong, a claymore going off in response
to a hammering of
the door will postpone
the raid by HOURS
mircea_popescu: you're not building fighters
therefore
the "other broken parts of
the whole process" have been identified and disposed of.
mircea_popescu: my
thought was more along
the lines of "if
the difference between a second and a minute has a practical effect,
there are other broken parts of
the whole process
that need fixing"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform really,
the "not
time" is no considerent.
mircea_popescu: actually, some proper made flash
tape would also work great
mircea_popescu: "Jump forward
to 2030, give
them
the benefit, and assume
that Beijing can securely distribute quantum encryption keys
that cannot be broken. Can
they guarantee
that by 2030
their average Soldier will be any less susceptible
to phishing attacks and won’t click on links embedded in unsolicited emails?"
mircea_popescu: "oh, if
the chinese do qke,
the us army will... have
to find a way
to diddle all keys in subatomic
transit"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i'm not discussing practical utility, merely
that it makes sense from a
technical perspective. unlike
the other
thing.
mircea_popescu: fancy
that wonder, he's going
to intervene in quantum field.
mircea_popescu: anyway, re qc, bonus lulz for
the huy-guy : so
the chinese are
trying
to do it over satellites, because currently it's been demonstrated over much shorter distances. and
the dod bright lightbulb (seriously, he is probably
the smartest guy
there, seeing how he has a blog) went "oh,
this would allow safe key
transfer, well
tell you what,
the army could DoS
the system!"
mircea_popescu: and
this includes situations 100k years in
the future where qc ie quantum communication is actually used. computing, not so much, for
the ~same reasons.
mircea_popescu: in
that sense i propose
the MP Certainty, which says
that it will NEVER happen. ie, at no point in
the history of humanity will it be cheaper
to break rsa
through "quantum computing"
than
through electronic computing.
