asciilifeform: *strela
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: not afaik.
asciilifeform: and before that, a steady stream of morons who paid for (fake) 'sterela' units
asciilifeform: a gaggle of idiots was prodded, by american police, into paying to have a (physically wildly implausible) x-ray cannon 'built'
asciilifeform: s/building/buying from insistent fbi stoolies
asciilifeform: classic product of the bakery.
asciilifeform: ;;google new york death ray plot ☟︎
asciilifeform: create/modify arbitrary turds in mid-flight.
asciilifeform: it's to 'bake terrorists'
asciilifeform: the purpose of 'hearbleed' et al isn't traffic intercept. (why intercept when you have root on the 'cloud' crapfarms?)
asciilifeform: shadow führer decides that a certain pwnhole has outlived its useful life, decides to create a 'dangle' (i believe this is the english technical term for 'слив')
asciilifeform: nah, of the 'bug' being made public, with catchy name & logo.
asciilifeform: as if there is such a thing as a kitchen with exactly one roach.
asciilifeform: wonder if i'm the only one who automatically thought 'diversion' when the heartbleed crap came out.
asciilifeform: a bit stale news, sorry. but i think it notable.

asciilifeform: is everyone who does anything even vaguely public bedeviled by spammers?
asciilifeform: block all priv msgs. other than from whitelist
asciilifeform: anyone care to recommend an irc client with whitelisting feature?
asciilifeform: one day, a 'virginal' high quality crt will be a mega-luxury. like stradivarius.
asciilifeform: and you can get flybacks still.
asciilifeform: somewhere, there probably still lives a man who can re-wind a burned yoke.
asciilifeform: bounce: so long as the tube is alive, yes.
asciilifeform: usually horizontal
asciilifeform: every nice crt i've ever owned, with or or two exceptions - eventually the raster goes
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: wiggled the plug?
asciilifeform: benkay: i've given up - the man's a broken record.
asciilifeform: ok seems like that worked.
asciilifeform: benkay: doesn't seem to work for priv msgs.
asciilifeform: does sunlight only work against vampires? what does one zap spammers with?
asciilifeform: <asciilifeform> you started out suggesting wifi and ssl. in the channel. now buzz off.
asciilifeform: <robwizz22> complete lie, meant to play on people's recognition of the word "heartbleed bug" without knowing what it is. There is no SSL anywhere within 100 miles of a Cardano, nor did I ever mention it. You seem to be playing off of your audience's ignorance. Is this really want you want to be doing with your life? Selling snake oil? Being a fraud?
asciilifeform: nd
asciilifeform: <robwizz22> the shelf usb storage to store a private key and pass phrase). You are lying about its benefits. You've come up with something absolutely and utterly useless. If it's a scam, good job. I like how you spread FUD about me trying to "introduce heartbleed" (which doesn't make any sense - the Cardano is a USB device) when I pointed this out. You obviously are smart enough to know that is a simple a
asciilifeform: ff
asciilifeform: <robwizz22> Just so you know, I am an individual like you - NOT with any organization. I am not in any way associated with the NSA or other organization. On the other hand, you seem to be following their M.O. and trying to weaken security. You are basically simply committing fraud. What you've designed to date is totally useless and 100 times less secure than not buying any such device at all (i.e. using o
asciilifeform: best racket will be to 'burn,' rather than burn.
asciilifeform: the simpler the metabolism, the more so.
asciilifeform: '
asciilifeform: 'you are what you eat
asciilifeform: they taste like grass.
asciilifeform: how about a herbivorous insect, like cicada
asciilifeform: try it
asciilifeform: ever eat a cultured cell?
asciilifeform: (winston churchill)
asciilifeform: 'We shall escape the absurdity of growing a whole chicken in order to eat the breast or wing, by growing these parts separately under a suitable medium.'
asciilifeform: kakobrekla: what we do with farm animals isn't exactly optimal
asciilifeform: less of one than 'battery'
asciilifeform: but this was later 'dumbed down.'
asciilifeform: kakobrekla: if i recall, the original script for the film called for the robot overlords to use mankind as distributed computing elements, rather than 'batteries'
asciilifeform: strap a 'peltier' to your wrist. body heat. a milliamp or so.
asciilifeform: kakobrekla: buy a 'traser' keychain. solar cells. you can get a few microamps.
asciilifeform: but, fossil-fueled phones aren't 'sexy', or 'green', whatever.
asciilifeform: and, assuming you are storing only fuel and not oxidizer, you can safely carry it without fear of it releasing all of the energy stored therein within a second
asciilifeform: you can move fuels, unlike electric charge, without gigantic thermal losses
asciilifeform: if you want a portable gizmo that can be 'charged' in seconds, without carrying a bomb, fuel cells on butane (as in cigarette lighter) are probably your ticket.
asciilifeform: which makes it a useful gadget, for powering clocks, etc. rather than what would amount to an unstable explosive.
asciilifeform: the chemistry of the ultracap gives it intrinsically high resistance
asciilifeform: if ultracaps did not have large internal resistance, you would not ever want to be near, much less carry, a charged one ☟︎

asciilifeform: dignork: that's because it's non-linear.
asciilifeform: dignork: notice the internal resistance given for specific currents?
asciilifeform: dignork: right, these.
asciilifeform: ;;lasers
asciilifeform: if the 'mythical holy grail battery' were ever to appear, you will know about it - not from idiot press releases and grantsmanship, but - from laser pistol fire in the streets.
asciilifeform: they have gigantic internal resistance
asciilifeform: buy one, experiment
asciilifeform: you can buy them
asciilifeform: dignork: worth investigating the properties of actual, rather than mythical, supercaps
asciilifeform: likewise, go and put 600W for 30 sec. through a phone-sized piece of whatever material you like, then put it in your pocket, get back to us.
asciilifeform: i could use one.
asciilifeform: anyone who knows of, say, a MOSFET rated for 600W, that fits in a phone, please wake me up
asciilifeform: boom.
asciilifeform: or 0.01
asciilifeform: thus, what can charge in 30 seconds can almost certainly discharge in... 1.
asciilifeform: lithium cells already have interesting problems when the safety fuse, for whatever reason, fails to blow
asciilifeform: need we say more?
asciilifeform: aka watts
asciilifeform: joules per second when charging in 30 sec
asciilifeform: ;;calc 19047.6 / 30.0
asciilifeform: joules
asciilifeform: ;;calc 5.291 * 3600
asciilifeform: watt-hours
asciilifeform: ;;calc 1.430 * 3.7
asciilifeform: 'ipnohe' battery - 1.430 ampere-hours, 3.7v
asciilifeform: Charge Your Phone in 30 Seconds << let's do math

asciilifeform: next comes the 'network disk', where the buggers don't need to settle for small change (ssl diddling, etc.)
asciilifeform: http://www.antievictionmappingproject.net/ellis.html
asciilifeform: gets a little more interesting:
asciilifeform: (tldr - the pwned didn't give a damn yesterday, and they still don't today)

asciilifeform: in unrelated news,
asciilifeform: afaik 'braille terminal' works similarly.
