mircea_popescu: fuck i found it. thanks god for internets!

mircea_popescu: what the fuck was that sitcom called, hm.
mircea_popescu: i can almost taste those stockings, being what EVERY girl had for a decade or so. each. and every. one.
mircea_popescu: and from the same period : http://67.media.tumblr.com/553d044a935e96986194c201744734bc/tumblr_n21vgdx3nk1r38h27o1_1280.jpg

asciilifeform: i watched them alive.
asciilifeform: not wholly mythical animals, these.
asciilifeform: they also exist at least in, e.g., annapolis (seaside town i passed through recently)
mircea_popescu: [for this side of the iron curtain folks : insanely popular fashion mag because it included patterns for all items so pre-industrial girls and young women could make them at home. first western mag to be published in russia ; and in china. easily beat anything cosmo ever was or could be.]
asciilifeform: anyway once you think about how american sigint actually works, when it works, it makes sense
mircea_popescu: though that was much more of a concern back before transportation
asciilifeform: i had an office across the hall from no less than a major
asciilifeform: except those are a dime a dozen
mircea_popescu: i could see (maybe) why you wouldn't want non-citizen grunts in the army.
mircea_popescu: it is classic "we're too inept to ever do anything so let's fuck around with paper all day instead".
mircea_popescu: eh, half the time there isn't who to ask what color to paint the walls, let alone substantial matters.
asciilifeform: but this is classic, 'proper aryans only!'
asciilifeform: ask them not me (tm)
mircea_popescu: i never quite understood this "place of birth" fixation in [always B list] secret services.
trinque: yes, but the ways in which "success" is "measured" involve "enough blacks/women/... ?"
asciilifeform: that uses this verbiage.
asciilifeform: yer thinking of the private sector
mircea_popescu: read the fine print.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: letter of the law is, i quote, 'RACE, COLOR, RELIGION, SEX, NATIONAL ORIGIN'
mircea_popescu: also, afaik "american nondiscrimination laws" work strictly to protect enumerated groups. women, blacks, what have you. "foreign born white men" isn't on the list.
asciilifeform: incidentally little birdie told me recently that nsa 'TAO' pisses on american nondiscrimination laws and never employs foreign-born folk
asciilifeform: so it boggles my mind that other folks did not do same.
asciilifeform: long, long ago, when i was quite unemployed, i wrote to Βασιλεύς Βασιλέων, Βασιλεύων Βασιλευόντων and offered my services
mircea_popescu: mircea_popescu> and does THE ONE THING. << anT i mean, obviously. heh.
mircea_popescu: but meanwhile - no, the Βασιλεύς Βασιλέων, Βασιλεύων Βασιλευόντων is not paying any of them anything.
mircea_popescu: the "western civilisation" may survive only in this limited sense.
mircea_popescu: so they'll fuck around with the rings, forever. hopefully their children will be raped into sanity. i'm doing a little towards that, if the children happen to be easy on the eyes and female. that'sall.
mircea_popescu: permanent tissue damage.
mircea_popescu: an order to remove rings is equiv to a death setence, for them.
mircea_popescu: as children, they stuck their head in a ring. then they kept adding rings.
mircea_popescu: nothing to do with anything.
asciilifeform: i just dun get it, most of'em aren't paid to swallow ft meade cock
mircea_popescu: these people are what has come to mean in english "scientists". they will do the thing they do, no matter what.
mircea_popescu: and does THE ONE THING.
mircea_popescu: look : they're what they are. this is pointedly not us. the difference between man and and is that ant is specialized physiologically. man can drop what he's doing and do something else, or pick a different set of tools, or approach, or whatever.
asciilifeform: well, that.
asciilifeform: the malfeasance that couldn't be any plainer than this daylight ?
mircea_popescu: hey, it's a seclist! what do you want them to discuss.
asciilifeform: yeah, just so HAPPENS that BUG makes fingeprint on old gpg of randint modulus key appear sAME.
mircea_popescu: it's a thing.
asciilifeform: next 32 bits, but also keeps the rest of the limbs at all-zeroes. '
mircea_popescu: pointedly not what happened there. what happened there was, "this kid made an airplane ; this other retarded kid made a playdough blob. the first kid called him retarded. let's list them in order : playdough blob ; airplane. let people fly with whichever they choose."
asciilifeform: 'A bug that not only duplicates the least significant 32 bits onto the
asciilifeform: today it is 'phuctor and hanno bock's', tomorrow - 'hanno bock's'
asciilifeform: but it is interesting to watch how the beast digests.
mircea_popescu: i'm the father of the whole internetland now ?
mircea_popescu: i wouldn't bother. let them sort it out on their own, what.
asciilifeform: can anyone actually reply to the seclist turd ?
mircea_popescu: how did that george costanza quote go, "but mr tuttle, consider i'm in the smaller office!"
mircea_popescu: but notice they put boost on the site!
asciilifeform: the fastgcd thing is henninger's
mircea_popescu: obviously, they're going to copy whatever phuctor publishes, which is fine but also rather obvious.
mircea_popescu: anyway, in practical terms - so he references both. good for him. anyone interested in doing some work can look at either site and proceed. i can't find any useful item AT ALL on factorable net. not as much as a factor or anything. some vague discussions in summary of supposed finds substantiated in no manner. if this is science you can also be pope, why not.
mircea_popescu: "There are even weirder examples, though - e.g., one of Phuctor's factors is 0x115CFF61CFECFF61BE9, where we see three 32-bit limbs satisfying: limb[1] = limb[0] + limb[2] and also limb[2] is small and thus likely didn't come from a CSPRNG, but possibly from uninitialized memory." << very good point. this person's actually intelligent.
mircea_popescu: phf yes, and the domain was reigstered in 2012. this doesn't serve here : they have to have history specifically in the things discussed. otherwise, it's not unlike someone applying to a job requiring 5000 hours of flight experience on the basis of his driving license from 1993. fine.. but ?
a111: Logged on 2013-09-14 15:24 asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: https://factorable.net/keycheck.html tests for some very basic weaknesses.
mircea_popescu: "When looking into this a few days ago, I found that OpenSSL 0.9.5a (and earlier?), which was current in year 2000, had a bug that would result in behavior just like this on some 64-bit platforms: http://marc.info/?l=openssl-users&m=95961024500509 "
mircea_popescu: o nice find BingoBoingo ! check out the paydirt quote asciilifeform :
mircea_popescu: yet another rush job brought to you by drhoaxtoshi.labs
mircea_popescu: https://factorable.net/resources.html << nothingt there.
mircea_popescu: .5% of tls rsa they say.
gribble: Error: We broke The Google!
mircea_popescu: anyway, lettuce read on teh bbc the stuff they read on trilema back in january 2015 and took a year and a half to digest! clearly "the media" is relevant, influential and what was the other one.
gribble: Error: We broke The Google!
shinohai: if i ever I imagined mircea_popescu getting arrested for meth, it would be that foto
mircea_popescu: and what's it got to do with me ?

Chicago will get on the WoT soon.
Chicago: :p some people watch football, some people watch soap operas, some people like talking to a brick wall on the Undernet.
BingoBoingo: Ain't nobody got time for that
Chicago: The dialog there is often quite colorful.
Chicago: BingoBoingo, you should mourn on Undernet in #political or #politics with the masses.
BingoBoingo: Nah, their strategy is have a clinton on each line of the ticket
Chicago: Ah, okay. Maybe the claim Trump will pick Hillary as his VP has some merit to it.
BingoBoingo: Oh, not today. Just mourning a Clinton v Clinton election
Chicago: Good, working on anything particularly interesting today?
Chicago: Thanks BingoBoingo, how are you today?
Chicago: At the time the Barracuda ES.2 drives were manufactured, their promotional materials were quite attractive. As time progressed, there were a number of problems with them similar to the IBM Deskstar (Deathstar) hard drives.
Chicago: It could be worse. There is a series of checks, tests and configurations I employ before putting a spindle into production. This is because I have a battery of Seagate Barracuda ES.2 drives from circa 2008/2009 which I still want to use. Some of them are just bad, from known firmware problems and the others need to somehow prove themselves to be *good enough* to use for scratch data handling.
Chicago: Otherwise, just waiting on some hdparm security-erase to complete on a disk, so I can throw it into a scratch array. I needed some space to work on a large collection of files, to tarball them before archiving them on tape.
mircea_popescu: going throgh reports. nothing much.
Chicago: mircea_popescu, I'm well, thanks. Happily celebrating the Trump victory in nearby Indiana today. How is Mircea?
gribble: Error: We broke The Google!
mircea_popescu: some people gotta see their eviscerated children. each his own./
mircea_popescu: some people grok the concept on seeing a dead cat.
