mircea_popescu: The attacker obtained administrative access to all files in the CZDS. This included copies of the zone files in the system, as well as information entered by users such as name, postal address, email address, fax and telephone numbers, username, and password. Although the passwords were stored as salted cryptographic hashes, we have deactivated all CZDS passwords as a precaution. "
mircea_popescu: i mean, yes, it's what stan & everyone sane's been saying about it, but dressed up in a clown costume for some reason.
mircea_popescu: "In particular, if IRET executes on a writeable kernel stack (this was always the case before 3.16 and is sometimes the case on 3.16 and newer), the assembly function general_protection will execute with the user's gsbase and the kernel's gsbase swapped."
mircea_popescu: it's all such retarded virginal bullshit, too. why shouldn't folks pose a fucking threat!
mircea_popescu: and it'd work just fine, too, if it weren't for btc. this construction where someone could be a secure billionaire and not part of the usg club simply wasn't being planned for.
mircea_popescu: basically the usg is trying (through its "vc" agency) to run the web exactly the way it's running the country : use the poor to scare the productive.
mircea_popescu: i suspect they literally are under orders to maintain a certain structure on the webs. one where the middle class so to speak can at any time be ganked by "nefarious", "mysterious" entitites that are not either.
mircea_popescu: the entire "security holes are in there deliberately" dirty secret is getting more and more air.
mircea_popescu: i think the derps who imagine their publishing of threat advisories and so forth actually does anything are off their rocker.
mircea_popescu: imagine this, by the way : after three months of the practical equivalent of going to people's houses and leaving them a post-it note, the fix rate is under 1%.
mircea_popescu: for another thing it gave me an elephant rifle to shoot at some dreamhost employe derp
mircea_popescu: well for one thing it bestowed upon me a huge list of wordpress blogs which can be used to leverage a packet stream about 1mn x and automattic does not want to fix.
mircea_popescu: Bloke sitting at the bar when a woman comes in and sits on the stool next to him, he buys her a drink and asks her name. "Carmen" she says "Because I like Cars and Men, whats your name?" "Charlie Beer-Cunt"
mircea_popescu: then guy's never heard from again. because yes, totally. that's what permanence means, two weeks' worth of three hourlong intervals.
mircea_popescu: "16-11-2014 bitbethelp: so, cazalla, what's your plan on running qntra when it's going to be down 7x24 if it gets any sort of traction?"
mircea_popescu: wait, asciilifeform wasn't even on a cloaked connection ? what, the haxxor gave up and went away ?
mircea_popescu: but in point of fact it'd have as much truck with that concept as the present day us has with a constitutional republic.
mircea_popescu: isuppose either of these could be rechristened "advertising"
mircea_popescu: advertising is a dead thing anyway. the cattle processors don't need to advertise to the cattle, the rest of the world doesn't want the cattle.
mircea_popescu: typical us-style academic, dress up something commonly known in the trade for a grant, act as if he's done science.
mircea_popescu: basically, they dressed up the ancient block withholding attack, a fully documented andf fully fixed problem cca 2012
mircea_popescu: "Bitcoin is broken. And not just superficially so, but fundamentally, at the core protocol level. We're not talking about a simple buffer overflow here, or even a badly designed API that can be easily patched; instead, the problem is intrinsic to the entire way Bitcoin works. All other cryptocurrencies and schemes based on the same Bitcoin idea, including Litecoin, Namecoin, and any of the other few dozen Bitcoin-inspi
mircea_popescu: anyway. "clean up the act" = no more tim sweneys and other gun sirers, plox.
mircea_popescu: somehow when i say "Gün Sirer" no "flaw that was fixed" pops intoi memory.
mircea_popescu: After years of acting like enfants terribles, perpetrating a prosecution complex, fearmongering about an inflationary collapse that refuses to happen, veering into antisemitic rants about Jewish bankers, blaming Mt. Gox victims, brigading a Nobel laureate, badmouthing core developers, attacking researchers including yours truly (for finding and even fixing a flaw, and making predictions that were later borne out; you k
mircea_popescu: decimation this is also true, but adding a "they donate grains of sand" isn't much of an addition.
mircea_popescu: "We need to work as a community to buy advertising like normal people, and perhaps work on our collective image."
mircea_popescu: this is my experience too. then again, it has been, for a while.
mircea_popescu: "First of all, every time I strike up a random conversation with a stranger, I discover that they have already heard about Bitcoin. Every. Single. Time."
mircea_popescu: otherwise if you could skirt reporting by structuring instruments nobody'd own anything anymore.
mircea_popescu: i suppose that's the best proof he's entirely correct on his religious observances. his continued existence -> best miracle yet.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo at some point you run up against the inevitable "how did this guy make it so far"
mircea_popescu: mats: no buttcoin option <<< considering what they want to do is "continue development" i'd much rather they never got a dime anyway.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla: he is just caught in a local pain minimum. <<< kako is like our blind slovenly prophet. he knows teh truths!
mircea_popescu: holy shit Luke-Jr raises kids and plans to buy sheep, has no clue about anthrax before reading up on b-a ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: PeterL: i do in theory, but it doesn't work yet <<< an asset is not predicated on whether it works or not lol. whether you own the house and whether anyone's paying you rent for it so far are different matters.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: gabriel_laddel: iirc, that was mircea_popescu describing the virtues of working on inventions in a yurt <<< iirc that was mostly a joke built on the probleblems of garbage collecting.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: i don't own any bitcoin assets, incidentally. << you're on the public record owning a majority of s.nsa lol.
mircea_popescu: gabriel_laddel: wtf is even being discussed. <<< nerds doing metaphores. it's a sight.
mircea_popescu: and god help me this log is tough... barely on the 17th ?!
mircea_popescu: gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: absolutely correct. should be something more along the lines of "unemployment rate for skilled programmers". <<< programmers who depend on some sort of regionalized unemployment rate can't possibly be all that skilled.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: for instance, afaik, white man anywhere in east asia is either a miserable wretch, a hermit, or largely confined to an enclave of his own kind. <<< from what i hear it's mostly "just grab any girl and fuck her, ask later".
mircea_popescu: gabriel_laddel: cazalla: consider this a request for a qntra article entitled <<< what makes you thik he'd be in a position to write it ? guy never left australia.
mircea_popescu: so no, it's not "genetic", and pointedly no, the statal measures intended to help do not in fact help, they massively hinder.
mircea_popescu: somehow they can go about peacefully earning their existence.
mircea_popescu: random example : somehow the black community in buenos aires - which is ACTUALLY being oppressed into the dirt - is neither hostile nor in any case fearsome to anyone.
mircea_popescu: there's not large groups of unemployed but healthy youths swarming around crossroads glaring at passengers in places that arent usistans.
mircea_popescu: if there's no longer a "public opinion" in the sense that term has been abused by usian know-nothing all-one aunt pollies, all sorts of anal child behaviour will necessarily go away.
mircea_popescu: so yeah the allies will ahve some new problems. easier to solve than their current problems that alliance is causing.
mircea_popescu: PeterL: If US disappears, then many of the other US allies will be having problems, so will be unable to help Isreal << fwiw i suspek the us is on the balance of things more of a problem than a solution.
mircea_popescu: they're like greeks, except on the other side of the same old sea.
mircea_popescu: taking old western women for all the charity they're worth, sure. actually working ? meh.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo: gabriel_laddel: If USia disappears Israel probably becomes untenable as a state <<< i have my doubts. for all their noise, the palestinians do not seem genuinely interested in running a state.
mircea_popescu: decimation i dunno, seems to me all sorts of bathroom pics as well as sony's latest crud got public domaine'd just fine
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: i'm a... sorta what naggum was. <<< ulcerous misanthrope ?
