mircea_popescu: it is the curse of the contemporary postmodern world that most jobs are done by amateurs.
mircea_popescu: this is like asking "how long will a chess player tolerate the other's crafty artfulness"
mircea_popescu: dude, seriously. the propaganda war is a propaganda war.
mircea_popescu: "At what point will the Russian government decide that Washington’s mendacity, and that of its European puppets and corrupt Western media, render hopeless Russia’s efforts to resolve the situation with diplomacy and unprovocative behavior? "
mircea_popescu: this happens to be a great thing, it's why mafias are better administrators than constitutions.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the problem with "real" conquest is that it sounds a lot like "let me just put the tip in". what do you mean "real".
mircea_popescu: the fact that they were historically more accomplished russians than the muscovy, and earlier so ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform this is somewhat like saying billy jean does not have the strength or will to form famblies - he merely fucks.
mircea_popescu: jurov supposedly russia refused them union or somesuch.
mircea_popescu: which... whatever, just how well they actually exist is reasonably unclear to me. how does slovakia exist or so forth
mircea_popescu: whether they're well organised or not presently has no bearing on whether they at all exist.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform so what's the beef with the polish-ukrainian confederacy ? just as actual.
mircea_popescu: jurov ah yea. well, i agreed with his "it's factual", but i never took an absolute view of this factuality. just, as far as it's worth determining, yeah, that's what it was.
mircea_popescu: same exact play as they're currently trying and failing re bitcoin.
mircea_popescu: decimation the idea is for russian oil to be sold in the manner of oil owned by the us. it doesn't matter who gets paid, as long as the "pay" is in accounts run by thiel, and it all follows kyc etc.
mircea_popescu: ie, you both mean the same thing. if you allow oil to stand for the "root" account of the world, then yes it's petro-war.
mircea_popescu: these people who use that terminology SAY petro war, but ONLY because in their cluelessness the petro- stands for the symbol you correctly use.
mircea_popescu: decimation nope. in general, sane people would prefer the alternative. perpetually.
mircea_popescu: kinda how the holy roman emperor got ground into dust.
mircea_popescu: much in the way mpex has no home unless some territory with pretentions of statality makes an excellent offrt
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform for the reason that then the coke and the pepsi must bid for my allegiance
mircea_popescu: they'll do exactly what they can get away with, and no more.
mircea_popescu: it really makes no difference. no matter his hair color, a married man is a married man. and so no matter the "ideology", whoever is stuck administering two billion people over ten million acres is similarly caught.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform not so. they like to pretend like they are, much like the 11 yo child of a man who keeps fighting dogs pretends to be the master of said dogs for the benefit of any visiting classmates.
mircea_popescu: decimation the russians are unable to do anything in the middle east, as proven by their fabulous failures in afghanistan and cecenia. what's worse, they know this, and won't bargain for it.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i don't have any issue with anything in that piece either, but this isn't the criteria. the form specifically is what one uses to identify these things.
mircea_popescu: isn't it funny how global-warming this sounds ? "we know there is anthropogenic bla bla"
mircea_popescu: He was a prime minister of Denmark who saw he could rise beyond Denmark by serving as Washington’s puppet. As prime minister he strongly supported Washington’s illegal invasion of Iraq, declaring that “we know that Saddam Hussein has weapons of mass destruction.” Of course, the fool didn’t know any such thing, and why would it matter if Iraq did have such weapons. Many countries have weapons of mass destructi
mircea_popescu: lol check it out, the russian foreign service is quite active in the fringe of the us discourse. orlov, roberts, there's a list with these talking points.
mircea_popescu: "The American and Israeli trained and equipped Georgian army collapsed under Russian counterattack in 5 hours."
mircea_popescu: oh, no, it's just that putin i mean roberts "does not understand how the world works"
mircea_popescu: fdr had scarcely the secessionist excuses of lincoln to fuck the country up. without his lame contribution, it'd have stayed in one piece, but perhaps may have survived the 21st century.
mircea_popescu: one can only wonder how the us would have fared had it not turned socialist in 1930.
mircea_popescu: hence hitler's constant suspicions of being betrayed by teh heer
mircea_popescu: obviously since we're speaking of germany, an east european power par excellence, these were often the same people.
mircea_popescu: but as far as i recall, it was a serious source of friction between the third reich gauleiters and eastern european nobility, that the latter despised the former on the grounds of... well... this, exactly.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla is this "fast food employee tries to parlay his work experience into a novel, because write what you know" ?
mircea_popescu: "encrypt" your emails to everyone. it's good for the emails and ok for you!
mircea_popescu: im sure thiel will give 100k prizes to whoever came up with the brilliant idea of a wait, no. they don't need it.
mircea_popescu: if he can get paid to listen to rsa keys buyt then for "technical reasons" can make that baloon 10x,
mircea_popescu: afaik that's exactly what he wants : to inflate the categories.
mircea_popescu: that's nonsense. here's a simpler approach : every time a new value is loaded into sse register append it to a special buffer. buffer gets dumped in return for any packet headed so sent to port so.
mircea_popescu: i guess the author doesn't realise it or something, but this lays bare a much used, fundamental, very valuable exploit of aes.
mircea_popescu: -192 and AES-256 revealing the final round key provides 128 bits of key entropy.)
mircea_popescu: It gets worse. Nearly every AES implementation using AESNI will leave two values in registers: The final block of output, and the final round key. The final block of output isn't a problem for encryption operations — it is ciphertext, which we can assume has leaked anyway — but for encryption an AES-128 key can be computed from the final round key, and for decryption the final round key is the AES-128 key. (For AES
☟︎ mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i think you're thinking of the case where you compile your thing and install it as bytecode. i was thinking of the case where you compile locally.
mircea_popescu: jurov the discussion was as to how often they get overwritten
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform "no one" ? yes, one. the machine may force you to whether you want to or not.
mircea_popescu: jurov im pretty sure it all does, but they don';t all have to be xmm via aesni
mircea_popescu: Consider the "XMM" registers on the x86 architecture: They will only be used by the SSE family of instructions, which is not widely used in most applications — so once a value is stored in one of those registers, it may remain there for a long time. One of the rare instances those registers are used by cryptographic code, however, is for AES computations, using the "AESNI" instruction set.
mircea_popescu: but ideally - while i can live without running a webserver off this - i still want to have bash
mircea_popescu: jurov no. i am talking about an os that only processes encrypted data.
