mircea_popescu: actually
there might have been a coupla more publicly known of people with compromised keys
mircea_popescu: possibly, yeah. well, not pre-logs, but pre-what's public now i
think.
mircea_popescu: hm, no, actually
there was a derp
that managed
to exploit some
timing issue early on.

that'll be all.

then in
the unwarranted assumption
that mp actually needs
the piddly 1k btc held for bitbet,
they
tried
to use whatever loose assemblage of assets
to force mp
to recant de facto. which idem backfired spectacularly when mp not only failed
to recant as intended, but pissed with a large arch on
the whole proposition, and cut out with hot irons anything
that may even remotely resemble.
mircea_popescu: and hate dun enter into it. derp's been making outright false, marginally false and otherwise
tendentious statements since just about
the day it became clear
the oh-so-genius plan won't catch. i see no merit in it and reason
to entertain
them.
jurov: Yes, you do prefer
to
think
that way.
jurov: lol you expect any logic? after all
this?
mircea_popescu: how exactly are you going
to come
to any sort of sensible conclusions on
the basis of
the random derpage of some dude who's principally known for random derpage ?
mircea_popescu: litte news reaches us from
the distant fogs of mpex. but sure.
mats: fun fact, canto people
typically have soup with every meal
kakobrekla: first
the pretending and now you plain stealing - way
to go!
mats: mircea_popescu: nm, off
to see a show
kakobrekla: the p/l has no relevance
to your embezzlement of funds
tied
to my key.
mircea_popescu: for
the record : during
the duration of
that account, you deposited 20.02 btc, and withdrew : 670.37 btc. "your" btc is a misnomer at best.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla you were banned from mpex subsequent your last doomed attempt
to fuck up
the bitbet process on davout's blog.
mircea_popescu: then in
the unwarranted assumption
that mp actually needs
the piddly 1k btc held for bitbet,
they
tried
to use whatever loose assemblage of assets
to force mp
to recant de facto. which idem backfired spectacularly when mp not only failed

☟︎ mircea_popescu: asciilifeform look at
the events. in
the unwarranted assumption
that mp will be impressed with a show of miner strength,
they proceeded
to mess with bitbet payments.
this backfired spectacularly when mp was not only not impressed, but actually went public with it, live.
kakobrekla: hi. my mpex account has been inaccessible roughly since
the
time of
the final bbet settlement - a bug or a feature?
mircea_popescu: nah,
that was early 2016
tech. it backfired something massive.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
that was state of
the art in 2015
tho, check
teh dates.
trinque: she looks like she wants
to be a dystopian manga character
trinque: they should get
that
Tor chick
this
time
trinque: must be disheartening;
they put so much work into
the last one's sweet steampunk goggles and MIT stamp of chief scientism
mircea_popescu: take my advice boys and girls : have soup at least 4-5
times a week.
BingoBoingo: You're welcome. Just nice
to see an oldtimer come back around.
dignork: Thanks BingoBoingo glad
to see you guys, but I'm just lurking after a long
time out, haven't read
the logs yet.
mircea_popescu: the problem is
they didn't have intelligent people at
the
top.
this generally haunts.
mircea_popescu: that also ;
though wikipedia does have a buggy, unspecified, half-baked wot implementation
mircea_popescu: basically, it worked as an unpaid effort
to digitize books
that's meanwhile run out of both books
to digitize and wide-eyed excitable noobs
to do
the digitizing.
mircea_popescu: if you have
the curiosity
to check it out,
the parts of any artiocle
that you like are 5yo+ ; and stuff added
the current year's never up
to par.
mircea_popescu: and what's worse,
the "wiki" style is proven not
to work. even something originally as promising as
tvtropes has over
the years decayed into
this unfunny collection of
tiresome goop.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: in
the parts where it actually does something, what it does is collect derpy dribbles on irrelevant
topics. yeah, it's
the first place
to have a discussion of
the nth episode of
the mth reboot of some
tired us franchise.
mircea_popescu: the other
thing is
that wikipedia has ~no utility. in
the parts
that it outright copied actual encyclopedia is no better and no different from any random website out
there
that repackages other's content.
BingoBoingo: Kinda
the Libressl problem.
Thing needs cutting, but it also need oh so much cutting.
mircea_popescu: it'd be interesting as a wikipedia-conversion-to-sanity project, but it'd be predicated on
the project ditching all
the undesirables barnacled
to it. and seeing
that
the whole
thing is mostly barnacle by mass, i dun see it happening.
hanbot: Require WoT registrations
to edit or something.
hanbot: Maybe you should pay
their server bills so
they don't have
to "not advertise"
their begging campaign every quarter.
hanbot: Pity
they don't have a bio article.
mats: whole
thing is ripe for 0days, i expect, half a dozen incompatible ipc mechanisms loosely scattered across multiple layers
mats: and
the pile of varying ipc mechanisms in addition
to raw mach ports is p interesting
trinque: hey man; it's
the end of
the world
mats: on
the other hand, an interesting opportunity
to understand xnu
trinque: one cannot simply pick
the best
things available; why would
they all already work
together?
trinque: I'm over here
trying
to get sbcl's sb-bsd-socket
to build on musl
Framedragger: those @-webkit-keyframes .... yeah i can see
that :)
Framedragger: i like
the /* yolo: */ in
the source, where it specifies
the font right
there in
the source, because fuck it
ben_vulpes: and everything
to do with inane wwwtronics
