mircea_popescu: mikaeldice but the scams and incompetents aren't bitcoin corps. i mean it's like saying turbojet propulsion isn't used by model airplanes. sure.
mircea_popescu: why do people constantly want to do things differently than the way things are done i have no idea.
mircea_popescu: that's the accounting standard, bitcoin companies do use it, etc.
mircea_popescu: a no, gotta wear a steel collar to be tasting this thing.
mircea_popescu: "- The Yubikey personalization app saves a .csv logfile with the programmed key values meaning a malware-based attack may discover the log files on block devices even when the files have been deleted"
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller paths that include any given segment at most once
mircea_popescu: moiety chicks only follow you the way they wanted to go anyway :D
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller actually i would imagine its accuracy is a linear function of the average length of noncircular paths.
mircea_popescu: ah, the sweet pleasure of the utter destruction of schmucks that thought they knew better
mircea_popescu: they just split, lost the government, are probably going straight to the history books.
mircea_popescu: this romanian party, was ruling party. a year or so ago i quit, and quite publicly told them to either bring me the head of the then-president or else there will be no fucking party.
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller since then we've had another reuters chick recently
mircea_popescu: i imagine if she did she'd have come back and dropped a line
mircea_popescu: artifexd fluffing is when a youngish girl that aspires to one day make money from porn tries her inept damdest to get up the overworked penis of some druggie pronstar guy
mircea_popescu: lol o i c, fluffy pony is less gay. right. what'd you drink, paint thinner ?
mircea_popescu: is this story a subtle suggestion you've got a nigger hose ?
mircea_popescu: btw, what's the worst time to have a productive streak ?
mircea_popescu: i know at least a dozen people who read trilema while travelling. catch up with a month's worth on an intercontinental flight
mircea_popescu: this i personally regard as a structural and significant improvement over berkshire.
mircea_popescu: anyway : because i actually included pc5 explicitly, the share actually has a clear mechanism to track nav pretty closely.
mircea_popescu: " It may pay a dividend during any period I determine this expedient, but there is no promise of monthly dividend (nor does such a thing make any sense whatsoever, for most companies)."
mircea_popescu: dividends will happen if there's no rational use of capital comensurate with historical gains, so if the thing makes ~10% pa for a while, and there's no way to beat that, i'd start distributing capital
mircea_popescu: so in general, the share should appreciate through tracking its nav.
mircea_popescu: artifexd well substantially, my thinking is that one does not simply kill berkshire, one also makes a replacement. if one's polite, at least.
mircea_popescu: this concept where they return the investment is obviously too much for teh forum.
mircea_popescu: <midnightmagic> (aside from weak keygen) << and aside from planted holes.
mircea_popescu: <mike_c> they got their mistakes out of the way with SF1. You need to jump on SF2, it's going to the moon. << i forget, what was the eventual return on that thing ?
mircea_popescu: <Naphex> we are planning on reaching regular folks as well << tbh, as long as you ernestly offer the strong version, nobody can hold it against you that you also offer a convenient version.
mircea_popescu: <benkay> hey, guys: which is less likely to leak? openssl or gpg? << gpg may still have a bug or two in there.
mircea_popescu: they used same principle, except (afaik) even shittier implementation
mircea_popescu: <benkay> all of a sudden i'm struck by the notion that the only good withdrawal message is one gpg-signed by the withdrawing party. << welcome to... 2012 ?
mircea_popescu: ie, not all keys work, key has to satisfy magic yubikey criteria on top of entropy
mircea_popescu: artifexd> That may, or may not, invalidate the ability to use yubikey's servers though. I don't know. << afaik blowing their key does make it unable to use the servers, because you see, the true beauty of stupidty : they actually narrow the keyspace (significantly) to make their product vendor-lockedin
mircea_popescu: unlike the bitbet style, which while being exactly the same thing, is socially unacceptable.
mircea_popescu: <Naphex> asciilifeform: i'm talking from a server end point, i don't have to keep user secret. just public key <<< see, there. that's the value proposition : it allows the operator to say "sorry, fuck you" to the user in terms that are socially acceptable,
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform> you gotta transport the secret to the user << did i wake up today in a parallel universe where public-key crypto was never invented ? << no, you woke up in a parallel universe where microsoft is still a business model.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform its probable yubikeys have a master, yes.
