mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-22#1508757 << mp\s ancient idea, "have housing free for 20yo female students provided they never dress indoors". it made a decent penny. ☝︎
asciilifeform: i suspect that the logic was purely practical - the customers are no longer, by and large, creditworthy.
mircea_popescu: well yes, because we're winning the war of worlds, but anyway.
mircea_popescu: they don't want a world with us in it just like we don't want a world with them in it.
asciilifeform: american mobile telcos have, by and large, already switched to the prepaid model.
mircea_popescu: the usg.corp bakes in usg.credit much like tmsr.everything bakes in tmsr.wot and for the same exact, purely political, reasons.
asciilifeform: whereas now chumper will have to pre-load the acct.
asciilifeform: now that i think about it, the reason was obvious - get him to cough up dough for extras
asciilifeform: ditto telco. etc
asciilifeform: except, for reasons unknown to me, they would extend the customer 30 days of credit (he'd get service then get 1st bill 30d later.)
mircea_popescu: so prior tyhey were almost cable company.
asciilifeform: what they did prior was almost this.
mircea_popescu: i have nfi what they did prior. but if not this - not a cable company. sorry.
mircea_popescu: yes. and the deal described (~80 one time to install including the ~30 bux monthly fee + further 30 day reloads whenever you feel like and no contract or "credit checks" is how cable fucking works. it's what was installed in Romania starting 1993.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: whaddayamean? comcast is one of the regional cable monopolies in usa.
BingoBoingo: shinohai: Pretty sure that's a dupe

asciilifeform: one of the best tr0l0l0lz i've seen in eons. whole thing recommended.
asciilifeform: experimental subjects of various monitoring devices, or in which they view advertisements in their houses, or agree to consume only certain products, or to abide by brand loyalties. Additionally, these homes may be provided with certain safety features, such as a magnetic lock 490 that prevents occupants from leaving the home without meeting certain conditions, such as safety and sobriety.'

asciilifeform: http://wearcam.org/seatsale/patent << pure gold. e.g., 'Fig. 4 illustrates the back door of a free dwelling or a low cost housing project, where the door has a magnetic safety lock for preventing children from accidentally running out into the backyard and being killed or injured by land mines that have not yet been de-activated by sliding a credit card into the door frame to purchase yard privileges.'
asciilifeform: re 'pay as you go', the favoured variant appears to be http://btcbase.org/log/2015-09-25#1285945 - flavoured. ☝︎
shinohai: ^ that was results from my gribbletron
asciilifeform: yes but why did it fire this time, and not before
asciilifeform: why the space ?
gribble: Error: We broke The Google!
asciilifeform: the only notch to go to after that will be chastity belt that physically prevents bladder from emptying until paid.
asciilifeform: shutters, i tell ya.

shinohai: http://archive.is/4mmml <<< the new generation of burner phones!
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: where was the anvil ?
mircea_popescu: went straight into bin, where i'd like to put this population wholesale.
mircea_popescu: i have never before seen such nonsense, not even in the depths of romanian 80s poverty, where they actually have unyielding band for the underwear omfg.
asciilifeform: holy fuq, is that a bismarck's cross on the anvil ?!
mircea_popescu: meanwhile i bought "industria argentina" male underwear which, while spoiling the same amount of cotton as a normal pair ; nevertheless HAS NO RUBBER BAND.
mircea_popescu: hurr durr, wasn't its thing to abandon in the first place.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it's not even abandoned. it's "abandoned", in the sense your pet cat "has abandoned" its copy of the master and marguerita.
deedbot: [Trilema] Views through a lens - http://trilema.com/2016/views-through-a-lens/
mircea_popescu: moreover, if it were "derp overfilled his pronbox", you'd expect this problem to resolve over time. i'll bet you whatever it will not.
asciilifeform: gmail is a very characteristically american chumpatron - 'we will fart and fart and encourage others, and then sell you bottle of clean air'
asciilifeform: ( recall why folks end up on gmail to begin with )
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: experimentally, they aren't.
mircea_popescu: and i presume it filters spam to some degree. hopefuly to such degree that an account last used dec 2015 isn't overrun by 30gb worth of spam in 6 months.
asciilifeform: 'Each Google Apps for Work user can store up to 30 GB of content for free (compared to 15 GB with Google Apps free edition or individual consumer accounts).

asciilifeform: but one savage found a geologist's flashlight in the woods, and the other - not
asciilifeform: the 'human' can afford real leather 'business planner' through no fault of his own, just because the money pipe going through ~his~ back yard drips moar than the orc's
mircea_popescu: same thing, throughout. buenos aires has a night life, god help you if you try to go out. it has shops, god help you if you try to you know, find the most common industrial product in deployment over the whole country (ie, the heating element from http://trilema.com/2016/cargo-cults-a-case-study/ )
asciilifeform: what's the diff b/w 'ordinary derp' and orc
mircea_popescu: but he ISNT one. he's an orc masquerading as one, and at the first touch the masquerade crumbles.
mircea_popescu: this incidentally is so fucking typical of this shithole it bleeds. they have THE MARKINGS of everything. if you don't look too closely, tomas bulat seems just like an ordinary derp ; has an email and a picture and everything.
mircea_popescu: nah, host aspmx.l.google.com [173.194.222.27] SMTP error from remote mail server after RCPT TO:<tbulat@infobae.com>: 552-5.2.2 The email account that you tried to reach is over quota.
mircea_popescu: me finds http://www.infobae.com/2015/12/05/1774628-el-gran-mito-que-la-argentina-es-un-pais-rico/ where his quote re plowing fly is given as "unknown author", writes to the bulat derp to point out the author's known, since ~1850 or so. guess what happens next ?
mircea_popescu: ahahaha who the fuck figures mcafee no doubt has a clue of maths ?
asciilifeform: sci.crypt crackpots were every bit as entertaining as the sci.physics ones
asciilifeform: this kind of circus is one of the thing i miss about usenet
asciilifeform: ming to understand my design. I will be happy to send you a copy of my patent application so you can evaluate the veracity of my claims if you will sign a notarized non-disclosure agreement.'
asciilifeform: so, via this heathen pit, http://www.whoismcafee.com/the-travel-guide : 'Dr. McAfee, I have spent the past thirty years perfecting an unbreakable encryption algorithm. My algorithm is not just unbreakable for all practical purposes it is theoretically unbreakable. The advent of quantum computers will not change this. The mathematics confirming my claim is indisputable. You no doubt have sufficient knowledge of mathematics and program
asciilifeform: fiatola was printed in china before euro folk climbed down from the trees, or what it was.
mircea_popescu: since the birth of the city, they've only had maybe 3 or 4 scams altogether.
mircea_popescu: no such thing as a stale scam.
mircea_popescu: a) hire a girl to do this. pay minimum wage, see how much you actually care to do it ; b) built a pdp already, or what was it you were building ?
asciilifeform: i followed the qntra link, that's it.
mircea_popescu: dawg. you're seriously spending your time sifting through tardstalk to support a minor point of dubiously more value than the cost of a log line ?
asciilifeform: leeeeet's pass a box with privkey around, round, round, and pray that nobody peeks in
asciilifeform: 'physical btc' is one of those items that is FRACTALLY a bad idea. with disaster waiting at EVERY possible junction.
asciilifeform: 'i opened the money-promise box and it had 0, but i do not accuse the vendor of scam'
asciilifeform: 'Either that company was running a scam (and I do not actually accuse them of that) or they were retaining backup copies of the private keys they generated (which they never should have done) and they were stolen by either a hacker or an employee.'
mircea_popescu: well they speak a different language.
asciilifeform: any of the places this crapolade was pushed.
asciilifeform: but srsly i wonder if there is ANY discussion of 'the fella who generated the keys may have copies and you will NEVER prove the contrary' in, e.g., tardstalk, wherever.
mircea_popescu: how the fyuck does this work.
mircea_popescu: now i'm reading source material of ro 1960s censorship ("raport de analiza muncii", 3rd/4th q, 1961). guess what ? all the censors are women. andreescu elena, miroiu, takacs margareta (they had hungarians to read the hu stuff lol), "vas a. & pop c.", etc etc. fucking dozen+, all womens.
thestringpuller: asciilifeform: i was thinking of that exact thread when i read the news. prophetic huh?
a111: Logged on 2016-07-06 15:04 asciilifeform: i dun care if it is made of gold, shitanium, hitler's skull, etc.; my take on folks selling envelopes which may or may not contain a funded privkey, and may or may not contain the ONLY extant copy thereof, remains same.
asciilifeform: ;;later tell BingoBoingo http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-06#1498063 << thread. ☝︎
asciilifeform: but afaik it was ever in just that one thread. here.
asciilifeform: ;;later tell BingoBoingo http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-22#1508545 << i suggest link to the thread ? or if somebody ( mircea_popescu ? ) ever had an article-length exposition of subj -- to that. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: obv if i fucking google it, trilema is like the only source. motherfucker already. here. http://trilema.com/2011/propuneri-de-masuri-pentru-imbunatațirea-activitații-politico-ideologice-de-educare-marxist-leninista-a-membrilor-de-partid-a-tuturor-oamenilor-muncii-comentate/
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: re earlier, these factors are 1024 bt long. the longest ssh popped prior, had 512b-long factor.
mircea_popescu: we're here to develop the tmsr human resources, not to get some derps not in wot to eat their fucking peas.
mircea_popescu: we don't give a shit if they do or don't.
asciilifeform: only so that possibly somebody answers this time!11
mircea_popescu: why for me! so we keep having these "how do build dirigible" threads weekly, while we patently ignore what the fellow who built the trope name has to say about the process ?
mircea_popescu: someone plox write the fellows a nice email, explain what happened and ask them to send a copy of the item that generated keys ?
asciilifeform: 'University of Technology and Agriculture in Bydgoszcz'
mircea_popescu: what, the others were short ?
asciilifeform: incidentally this is the first, iirc, long factor sshkey collision to pop.

asciilifeform: what can you do to the rest of the box from it
asciilifeform: e.g., what privileges does the radio have, to put in software parlance
asciilifeform: (which in turn is interesting because ~is it on the same bus as other periphs~)
mircea_popescu: i thought the idea was someone will hack into your thing via radio.
asciilifeform: for the purpose of ~how is it connected??~
mircea_popescu: yes. but for the purpose of owning it no ?
asciilifeform: it is not difficult to infer how it is NOT connected, because you can pick up the device and measure top bandwidth quite easily with bare hands
