asciilifeform: folks who go in without - well, you can try and go sailing without boat, also
asciilifeform: note, i didn't paint wasp-fucking as a sin. simply another hobby, that requires adequate preparation and equipment.
mircea_popescu: well, nobody's wasp proof. including the derpy archduke.
mircea_popescu: i dunno if you've ever heard of the "national sovereignity" thing ; but let me point out it was originally enacted by europeans through the process of deliberately provoking the austrohungarian police.
asciilifeform: ( can anyone find, in the logz, that iconic photo of the fella spinning wasp hive on his cock ? try as i might, it refuses to turn up )
asciilifeform: and i have exactly same sympathy for 'stotters' who deliberately provoke the idiot cop as for those dudes who fuck wasp hives.
PeterL: police are like the T-rex in Jurrasic Park - hold still and they can't see you
a111: Logged on 2016-09-22 18:34 mircea_popescu: so the problem isn't the fact that the police machinery of the rogue state is a criminal entreprise ; and people understandably want to avoid them.
asciilifeform: you meet all the other qualifications the city has set.'
asciilifeform: '...state lawmakers on Thursday heard from local officials in cities like Nashville, which requires homeowners obtain a permit before renting their homes on Airbnb and similar websites. Nashville's regulations also cap short-term rentals at no more than 3 percent of all homes in a given neighborhood—so if 3 percent of your neighbors are listing their homes through a room-sharing service, you won't be allowed to get a permit even if
PeterL: "The seven justices of the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court are appointed by the governor with the approval of the Governor's Council." looks like you are right
mircea_popescu: i think in texas judgeships are elective, but in mass nominated ?
PeterL: what independence? they all get elected by the same people, don't they?
mircea_popescu: independence of judiciary an' all that eh ?
PeterL: you want rogue state to outright admit that it is a rogue state?
mircea_popescu: how are these idiots so good at self-falsification ?
mircea_popescu: the problem is that the police machinery of the rogue state bestows its blessings particularly on tall women with nice tits, and therefore it's all about ~that~
PeterL: but I think anybody could point to this and say running away was not reasonable cause for suspicion, but IANAL
mircea_popescu: so the problem isn't the fact that the police machinery of the rogue state is a criminal entreprise ; and people understandably want to avoid them. ☟︎
PeterL: well, black men seem to be targeted most by police, so therefore they have that excuse to run away

mircea_popescu: ahahaha laura parson kicks all ass! "stem syllabi are gendered because they promote the idea that knowledge can be ascertained through reason, which is a masculine concept that hurts women's feelings and makes it difficult for them to succeed." ☟︎
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform well, this is the sort of determination that only they who were there can make. just as arguably mengele never existed ; wholly creation of jew victimlobby.
mircea_popescu: in no small part the point of even having a republic is that the next snowden does a much better job. and having the occasional noob show up in here to work the bots is part and parcel of this same.
asciilifeform: alternatively, never existed. any more than sherlock holmes.
mircea_popescu: so no, there's not much useful anything, sadly.
asciilifeform: btw do we have even 1 pgp-signed thing from herr s ?
scriba: Logged on 2016-09-22: [17:21:35] <mats> there are lots of folks that still believe snowden didn't act under orders
mircea_popescu: http://log.mkj.lt/trilema/20160922/#571 << i'm of the same persuasion. nevertheless, snowden pre-greenwald and snowden post-greenwald are very much different animals.
mircea_popescu: to them, this is what's important.
scriba: Logged on 2016-09-22: [17:11:17] <phf> what an odd angle, "he lied in order to steal these things", duh, no shit
mircea_popescu: http://log.mkj.lt/trilema/20160922/#567 << the usg bureaucracy is very much dumb-woman-from-montana as depicted by frances mcdormand in fargo. there's this list of formal sins that's all they comprehend and consequently serve as their only interface wioth the world. "said nigger" "didn't eat veggies" "doesn't recycle" "cheated on spouse" etc.

asciilifeform: and i have a box of 20 here waiting for the first fella who gets interesting result
asciilifeform: which is why i'd like to get folks playin' with esp8266.
mircea_popescu: sure. but there's a sweetspot for the wifi, where they're impossible to find from a distance. that same pollution also protects them.
asciilifeform: much less across the street.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: except in serious city it has become difficult to hear a 2.4G wifi even in next room.
mircea_popescu: moreover, at 10 bux an item, if you end up with sqrt (distance) items to cover a distance expressed in 10 meter increments, you're looking at what, 150bucks per km of comms. this is way the fuck cheaper than laying wires ; and works on all terrain etc.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: wifi is crowded already nearly to death.
mircea_popescu: on current tech sweet spot seems to be somewhere in the 1 to 10 W ; which is how and why wifi is even a thing ; and which drives the question that wouldn't it be much better to just use wifi instead ?
scriba: Logged on 2016-09-22: [15:31:23] <BingoBoingo> <mircea_popescu> are there any stations even left that do 100kw in soviet us ? << 50kw is the cap and requires "clear channel" Daytime range of such power not too impressive
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-09-22#1547255 << this point doesn't get much press, but radio - just like, e.g., nuke - suffers from severe case of diminishing returns ☝︎

a111: Logged on 2016-09-14 12:34 mircea_popescu: incidentally, and re http://trilema.com/2016/gossipd-design-document/#comment-119099 : if anyone likes to fuck around with markov chains etc, a prototype implementation of that would be perfect at this juncture.
mircea_popescu: http://log.mkj.lt/trilema/20160922/#311 << word. meanwhile this merged in my head with the eliza-for-gossipd thread (re http://btcbase.org/log/2016-09-14#1541643 ) ; there should in principle be a way to have the same tool do both things, and therefore probably should do it that way. ☝︎
asciilifeform: this idea doesn't belong to me, either, it is ancient.
scriba: Logged on 2016-09-22: [14:31:38] <asciilifeform> 1) every old lappy comes with a high-quality DAC fit for shortwave! the vga card. ☟︎

asciilifeform: gerating his resume and stealing the answers to an employment test. In May 2013, Snowden informed his supervisor that he would be out of the office to receive treatment for worsening epilepsy. In reality, he was on his way to Hong Kong with stolen secrets.'
asciilifeform: 'He claimed to have left Army basic training because of broken legs when in fact he washed out because of shin splints. He claimed to have obtained a high school degree equivalent when in fact he never did. He claimed to have worked for the CIA as a "senior advisor," which was a gross exaggeration of his entry-level duties as a computer technician. He also doctored his performance evaluations and obtained new positions at NSA by exag
trinque: not that I'm opposed to parking an instance in #eulora
shinohai: So wasn't a big deal to me.
shinohai: I mean I usually just don't voice them until they actually produce a key.
trinque: I don't see a problem with people coming to the forum to announce their existence as a person.

shinohai: Sometimes I miss them.
shinohai: asciilifeform: when the tardstalk people come in, just have them msg me or something and I'll point them to the guides
asciilifeform: 'Another reason for the key switch is that it is going to increase in size, from 1024 bits up to 2048. As time goes on, and computing power increases, the chance of someone cracking the key, although still low, increases.' << mega-l0l
asciilifeform: '“There is a logical possibility that somebody has cracked it and we don’t know,” Andrew Sullivan, chair of the Internet Architecture Board, a group that oversees organisations involved in the evolution of the internet, told Motherboard in a phone call. He stressed, however, that there is no reason to believe the key has been compromised.'
asciilifeform: ... didn't mircea_popescu have a separate kindergarten for these folks..?

a111: Logged on 2015-05-03 03:48 asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: someone decided to use a microcontroller. quite possibly because 29 cents instead of 30 for a '555'.
asciilifeform: mats: wouldn't surprise me if at this point even the blinkers had own micro
mats: fella in the field once told me a modern car's center console has 6+ microprocessors, 4+ with radio interfaces (the strictly on-board ones, not counting external stuff like TPMS)
asciilifeform: i had once an ancient toyota that had a debug port, but weird proprietary analogue one, i gathered the docs but the thing fell apart before i got a chance to use.

asciilifeform: 'A malicious client can send an excessively large OCSP Status Request extension. If that client continually requests renegotiation, sending a large OCSP Status Request extension each time, then there will be unbounded memory growth on the server.

trinque: asciilifeform: my gizmo 1 gets here tomorrow.
BingoBoingo: nfi about fandom's value here either, but the people doing things worth esteeming with. Attraction rather than promotion as PR strategy.
asciilifeform: now this i have nfi about, measuring 'fandoms' is 'above my paygrade.'
BingoBoingo: Right, but the weidos were actually doing something. For that actual field of a dozen there's prolly a fandom of hundreds to thousands because less capable weirdos.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: it is presently comparable to astronomy at a time when telescope existed but only 'weirdos' had heard of it.
BingoBoingo: Maybe only a dozen people in actual field, but people likely worth having the esteem of.
asciilifeform: ( i'd dearly love to be proven wrong about this )
asciilifeform: and the device is, afaik, ~extinct.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> mircea_popescu: this isn't any old d00d, either, his b00k is excellent << Hence why very newsworthy. Raises your esteem and that of republic. Harder for a certain sort to ignore than Phuctor.
