mod6: now they're all on about colored coins.. lol. pointed them to the log from yesterday & the trilema article.
mod6: omg now they want to integrate xrp with urbit lol
mod6: pizza rolls arent traditional?
mod6: bitesak: i've got a twit feed going @bitotter
mod6: well if he doesn't mention it, i guess it never happened.
mod6: dont get zhou tonged
mod6: i hate to see the GC closed. but fatasses hike into it everyday and can't get out so they need to emergency helicoptered out. so *shrug*
mod6: either that, or restrict the internet to only a select handful of groups/individuals. although, that wouldn't probably go over very well.
mod6: but if the tools one is given are too shitty to secure the line in the first place, im not sure you can hold someone accountable for that. aside from that, if someone wants in, they'll get in.
mod6: wat, no AMAZING COMPANY?!
mod6: thats amazing. this type of thing must die.
mod6: next they'll come after you for having weak passwords... etc.
mod6: i guess i should retract that statement about cracking wpa2. perhaps the cryptosystem itself perhaps hasn't been broken yet. but it can be dictionary attacked, of course.
mod6: hopefully someday all these laws/regulations will go away.
mod6: i dunno, i guess a lot of this depends on key weakness... but you do see the slippery slope there though of course.
mod6: think of how dangerous this gets. if you can't run an open wifi channel because of 'terrorists', then you really can't run an encrypted one either as WEP/WPA2 have been broken.
mod6: show me what a police state looks like
mod6: There is no immunity from arrest on criminal grounds, nor does the civil privilege entirely extend to the devolved administrations in Scotland or Wales.
mod6: It also means that members of Parliament cannot be arrested on civil matters for statements made or acts undertaken as an MP within the grounds of the Palace of Westminster, on the condition that such statements or acts occur as part of a proceeding in Parliament—for example, as a question to the Prime Minister in the House of Commons.
mod6: well if they were arrested at some drilling site, maybe they were tresspassing
mod6: unless that means the same thing
mod6: no, at least, not that i know of. an error on my part. the 'bitcoin consultancy'
mod6: haha, bitcoinica too i guess.
mod6: oh and intersango. of course.
mod6: oh maybe he wasnt with the foundation, just the 'bitcoin consultancy' or whatever.
mod6: so i kinda thought Cody Wilson was awesome until he teamed up with Taaki
mod6: kakobrekla: yah you might be right...
mod6: let me know what you think
mod6: am i totally wrong / crazy / out-of-my league here?
mod6: and i think its headed deeper and deeper in to trollville
mod6: i want to get down to brass-tacks on this one before i waste any more time on it.
mod6: this is what the guy said:
mod6: eh, i guess its over lol
mod6: i think i started a flame war in #urbit btw
mod6: and so far, its a mindjob.
mod6: kakobrekla: not just yet. got a few other things to work on first. and still need to learn hoon before i can get anywhere.
mod6: talking to #urbit guys now..
mod6: im trying to determine if this will ever be useful outside of troll land.
mod6: that is the first thing so far that really has bothered me. you don't change something like "1 = true = has a value = something, not nothing" to "1 = false = has no value = not something" just for fun. thats confusing for the sake of being confusing.
mod6: thats just fuckin wrong
mod6: We should note that in Nock and Hoon, 0 (pronounced “yes”) is true, and 1 (“no”) is false. Why? It’s fresh, it’s different, it’s new. And it’s annoying. And it keeps you on your toes. And it’s also just intuitively right.
mod6: sweet, got my destroyer up and working
mod6: that one comes straight from GM 'eh? is that the 502?
mod6: HEH. been here all night talkin about urbit :]
mod6: he says he could be wrong and they might be 'some kinda funky resistor'
mod6: lol he says its 'bodged'
mod6: ya my guy says they are caps too
mod6: oo started a fire in her panties huh?
mod6: lol that'll be ishy in hoon!
mod6: someone needs to write a network stack for it.
mod6: i suppose that something like urbit could actually live inside of other software eventually as some sort of embedded system. or if it ever took the leap to native hardware, it could run on some sort of FPGA or pre-set asic chip.
mod6: and besides do we trust chip makers any more either?
mod6: for instance, in current form, urbit does key-gen right off the start. i'd hesitate to launch an instance with that software thats native (unless rooted and running something like cyanogen -- even then do we trust that either?)
mod6: daybyter: its too bad really, these devices are like the NSA data-collector nodes. i don't even trust the snapdragon chips in 'em any more really.
mod6: the syntax is so gnarly that it seems like it would be hard to develop, but i suppose that one you get the hang of it...
mod6: either public or private nodes.
mod6: it'd be cool to see if all of these destroyers can easily talk to one-another from distributed hosts worldwide. then maybe it'd be neat to try to develop a p2p or distributed encrypted irc network.
mod6: (What happens if there’s an error? Like, a type error? Duh, the compiler crashes. Hey, at Yale, what do they do if there’s an error? I don’t know but it’s probably some kind of fancy exception thing.
mod6: haha, none i guess. i just hope that even if it is a troll, it can be made into something useful.
mod6: anyway, i dunno, i still think its pretty neat if its not an epic troll. i submitted for my destroyers, so we'll see where that goes.
mod6: yeah, the nock is like, very short. and the hoon compiler itself is really small.
mod6: I still think its pretty cool, and I'm probably just derp. But I'm not convinced that I'm not being trolled somehow.
mod6: at somepoint it'll have to run out of a chip directly or some other interpreter or interface to wholly replace unix
