asciilifeform: of their profits are being used to pay executive salaries this will have to be built at extremely low cost. Deficiencies in the softwrae will enable vast numbers of Americans to download Bambi for free, their ISPs will be forced to rat them out, and they will all get to see Martha's Stewart's cell in West Virginia first hand...'

asciilifeform: 'As progressively dumber programmers build progressively more complex systems we will see more of this kind of attempt to paper over coding mistakes with lawyers, sanctions, policies, and laws. Hollywood and the RIAA are usually the most successful at getting the government to do their bidding. Thus I predict that one day Disney will have a Web site where you can buy access to any of their movies. Because all☟︎☟︎☟︎
asciilifeform: 'One Romanian hacker was lured to Boston by Secret Service Special Agent Matt O'Neill, who used the Internet to pose as a woman and invite the cybercriminal on a trip to the USA to enjoy gambling and romance. "He was quite surprised that I was the one meeting him when he arrived," said O'Neill, who worked on the case for months.' << lol, is anyone actually this stupid? even sp4mz0rs?
asciilifeform: microshit still not razed and employees not publicly impaled, news at 11.
asciilifeform addresses the worms who people his future grave 'eh boys, you'll be lighting benjies with lit benjies'☟︎
asciilifeform: a datacenter that can't be diddled from a safe distance is also called 'a nuclear power'☟︎
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: cut pipe from safe distance.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: until destroyed - obscurity
asciilifeform: the 'martian bank' could be a literal martian bank.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: Who ever said anything about bunker having meat << if the universe favoured defenders of castles, rather than attackers, bitcoin would not be necessary
asciilifeform: but hypothetical enemy in our modern scenario has no problem getting to the door.
asciilifeform: my father, as a private in soviet army, was trained, like many others, to take out 'silo' type missile installations with ordinary grenade. (how? jam the door by propping small explosive, e.g., grenade, under one rail. tricky bit is to get to the damn thing, across an ocean and under guard...)
asciilifeform: these were never designed to withstand physical attack by men (vs nuke)
asciilifeform: if you're a very special customer, they'll pump in sarin/vx.
asciilifeform: bunker << if against usg - grave. marauders - sure, so long as you have independent air, water, fuel, food supplies.
asciilifeform: jurov: is asciilifeform actually paying so much for his blog << machine is wanted for nosuchlabs.com - currently home to 'phuctor.' i've an astonishingly vast quantity of donated pubkeys - job that wants real, vs. virtual, cpu to crunch (and plentiful memory)
asciilifeform: wind river << no mention, it seems, of what they shipped to be condemned to the penalty, and to whom
asciilifeform: he could've earned it with honest work!
asciilifeform: very few people are equipped to safely monetize an 0day in person.
asciilifeform: is it - what owner paid? what the 'fence' will get, on the blackmarket? what the fence will pay you?
asciilifeform: rather like trying to come up with value for stolen painting.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: in light of what i previously explained about botnets, it is difficult to calculate the actual value of a particular 0day.
asciilifeform: if it breaks, it was broken from birth
asciilifeform: bitcoin should be used for whatever is physically possible.
asciilifeform: the idea was specifically to show that existing btc protocol is isomorphic to a 'proper chat'
asciilifeform: i am entirely uninterested in any system, however superficially similar, which isn't built on top of actual bitcoin blockchain.
asciilifeform: undata: the idea, as described on my site, is deadly-simple - no need for server, you 'speak' by sending btc to an address. others 'hear' by seeing what was sent. if the channel owner (owner of privkey to address) decides that you are persona non grata, you never see your coin again. otherwise, it is sent back after a while.
asciilifeform: that is, will operate precisely as intended while the latter does.
asciilifeform: undata: point of gedankenexperiment was to propose a telegraph which is exactly as strong as bitcoin in every technical aspect.
asciilifeform: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8478427 << gotta love the shitgnomes repeating their mantras of 'it was an accident111!11', 'security is impossibly hard!', 'never roll your own crypto', and other tiresome disinfo.
