Framedragger: "If you need
to securely contact me, your best bet is
to DM me asking for my Signal number" << hmh.
Framedragger: ah, well it seems he did make progress with short ID bruteforcing,
that's gotta count for something.
mircea_popescu: just go make a littoral self-rape ship,
this software/internet stuff is a waste of your
talents, folks.
mircea_popescu: schmucks really came a long way from
the 80s. srsly, consumer-mentality based fud "oh noes, i worry about my key! government should come and give me certainties! putin influenced elections! guns kill people!"
mircea_popescu: oh, he's
trying
to sell whatever other nsa altpgp. myeah, whatever.
mircea_popescu: "I never ever ever successfully used

a111: Logged on 2016-10-11 20:26 mircea_popescu: no, i'm implying
that nobody in plato's cave knows how badly
the cave sucks until someone comes in riding a pegassus
mircea_popescu: trinque apparently
this was
the first
time you commented under
that name. i dunno, i
thought i saw you before. anyway, should go straight
through next
time.
mircea_popescu: Ehrsam wrote: "There is nothing
that bitcoin can do which Ethereum can’t." << aha. bwahahah. how about not falling over every week ?
BingoBoingo tried a couple drafts on
the fake news about pedo pizza being "attacked" and decided not
to spread unconfirmed rumours and innuendos about what smells like a false flag
trinque: inb4 every deedbot published item is a
terrorist hash
trinque: and
they dare call
the "great firewall" oppressive
ben_vulpes: does
the lispy lordship have opinions
to share about cl extension libs like "alexandria" and "metabang-bind"?
☟︎☟︎ trinque: right re: immutable, hence
there is no extensibility proposed
trinque: as I pondered
the
thing it also brought from
the dark recesses of my mind
the "semantic web"
shinohai can now buy 2 bottles of Night
Train for
the price of 1 ether
BingoBoingo: shinohai: What 6 dollars?
This is not December 2012!
trinque: or sign a copy of your whole wot and deed if you prefer,
though mp makes it clear
that habitually doing so has hazards.
shinohai: Sure I expect with
that ~$6 price it has dropped
to
today has something
to do with it
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform so
the
tor enthusiasts will buy fuckgoats.
pete_dushenski: so it was an unseasonably balmy 0C here on saturday and now it feels like... -27C with wind and humidity.
this is a Good
Thing. feels more like xmas
time when bundled up, drinking
tea by
the fire, shoveling walks, or driving slowly
through
the ice and snow.
pete_dushenski:
http://archive.is/vT63P << other other from same : "Microsoft is working on a patch for a bug or feature in Windows 10
that allowed access
to
the command line and, using a live Linux .ISO, made it possible steal BitLocker keys during OS updates.
The command line interface bypasses BitLocker and permits access
to local drives simply by
tapping
the Shift and F10 keys."
jhvh1: shinohai:
The operation succeeded.
shinohai: !~later
tell mod6 Start Height a success, will report results with African and further key imports later
pete_dushenski:
http://archive.is/IdkiM << in other intel wonders,
the reason your 'uberfast intuhnet' is laggy is becuase of 'high-priority maintenance
tasks hogging
the processor, causing latency
to increase by at least 200ms' in
the puma 6 (atom x86) equipped boxes, eg. Arris Surfboard SB6190, Hitron CGNV4, and Compal CH7465-LG

the folx who got 100MB/sec from /dev/random were
the mac people, and it leads me
to suspect
that
theirs is in fact ==
to /dev/urandom
mircea_popescu: i have nfi who would be idiotic enough
to use "country" domains like .uk (afaik you can't even do
that, gotta get subdomaons off
their holy site "co") or .ro etc.
mircea_popescu: undefensible in its parts,
this holds in summary a lot better
than anyone'd expect.
mircea_popescu: k and
the rest
to malacca. hence ~dutch~ east indies and british north america.
mircea_popescu: to insanely stretch comparison : it could be said
the sovereign prince of orange was a sort of stalin
to dewitt's lenin. yes, both soviets, but not very equal soviets - one somewhat cooler
than
the other ; and so
the brits picked
the one which was closest
to
their capacities and aspirations, which is
to say
the uncool one ; and similarly
the products of
the dutch republic split
their energy -
the shittier ones went
to new yor
mircea_popescu also doesn't
think
the bovine new world female, with
the big face, ugly fat lips and
tiny eyes is particularly attractive.
mircea_popescu: people preferred
the indonesian whores
to
the iroquis whores.
mircea_popescu: ie, alligned with
tmsr and generally righteousness ; rather
than
the "equitable" imperial idiocy
then embodied in
the brits.
mircea_popescu: the dutch-british comparison is actually very apt and very instructive.
two samples : at
the
time of
their war with
the united provinces,
the dutch could outproduce
the british about 6:1 ; at
the
time
the
tulip craze blew up, dutch courts
told all aplicants "sfyl" quite literally.
mircea_popescu: anyway, when i say "don't have
these problems but others" i specifically mean as evident in sexual behaviour (cue
that "scandal" when sarkozy
took some random woman
to random event and
the london-based journo-hos had a collective aneurism and kept blathering about how
they'll bus supporters over)
mircea_popescu: (it should be pointed out
the french blackened many
times before)
mircea_popescu: seems on
the balance of
things more likely
to be fallout from
the haphazard "quick, create an ideology
to back up
this dude's wan
to get a new hussy"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it is not, because incredibly enough
the french actually don't have
these problems (but others)
mircea_popescu: the simple notion
that i shall read
the string X as /y" rather
than /z" because
the entity labeled X "knows how
their name is spelled", for instance, is exactly of
the nature of "you must include X in your item because Y law" ; or of
the "sexual harassment" ; or of ALL OTHER
THINGS.
mircea_popescu: i dunno how familiar
the reader is with early us colonial history - but
the british uniquely pretended
that all
trade must go
through british warehouses. in london.
they kept laoding and unloading
things. so
they can be
taxed. exactly like
the notion
that an imaginary "right" of someone
to something may require me
to do specific
things. ie,
the fritz chip.
mircea_popescu: nevertheless,
the point remains - it could be argued
the actual driver for currently perceptible idiocy is not sin (ie, redditards, 1993 aol, etc) but apostasy (ie, "ip", british notions of what
the crown may do
to commerce, etc)
mircea_popescu: (but
there is also
the case of
the dutch raid when
they literally burned down london - except in a strange case of premonitory japanese misbehaviour, failed
to bomb
the right
thing.
this is in
the logs.)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform actually
the dutch demolished
the english.
mircea_popescu: it can
then be said
that what exactly " brave Landeskinder sein" means is chiefly driven by what/who is "mein König und Held".
mircea_popescu: once
there's a "king", in
the english
tradition, who can do patently idiotic stuff such as require "bonded warehouses" (look it up) and "control
trade" (please, do look it up)
then "property" of a sort emerges. by contrast, in dutch world, where no such king and no such layered idiocy
thereby, also property. but substantially different property.
