pete_d_out: BingoBoingo that's not ridiculous like gavin averaging 100 btc per annum salary for the rest of his days, just
as he did when vessenes scam was peaking, isn't ridiculous
BingoBoingo: "The decision comes
as the NCAA continues to investigate Katina Powells claims that she and other escorts were paid thousands of dollars and given game tickets by former basketball staffer Andre McGee in exchange for dancing for and having sex with U of L players and recruits from 2010-14. The NCAA could still levy further sanctions on U of L in addition to the self-imposed penalty, but university president James Ramsey is hope
☟︎ mircea_popescu: " The fact that this Court would never have entered Boisjolis materials
as a default judgment that could then be enforced by conventional means is immaterial. Criminal Code, s 24(1) is explicit that the fact an attempt to commit an offence could not succeed is irrelevant to whether or not that offence was attempted:

as a proof of work
ascii_butugychag: '“I cannot for sure rule out the possibility of a backdoor,” said Gerhard Rieger, a Socat maintainer. “But personally I do not believe that the contributor has a backdoor because he uses an email address at a well known and reputated company, and if someone wants to install such a backdoor he would not use a parameter that can easily be proven
as non prime.”'
☟︎ BingoBoingo: mod6: Well you gotta understand hobofucking
as well
as hobocucking are serious trainstation risks
ascii_butugychag: to say 'in the past' is
as sane now
as it would be after a nuclear war.
ascii_butugychag: proofs in modern cryptography are
as meaningful
as proofs in any other area of mathematics. Can
mircea_popescu: nd of analysis is the only acceptable methodology e.g. for cryptography, and that its results should be blindly adhered to
as truth about the world especially when they contradict plain common sense,
as K&M claim they do (not saying whether the latter is true or not, just that it doesn't address this)."
mircea_popescu: anyway, to not unwarrantedly attack a whole nominal group : there are sane people too. an example "Well, he also references Bacon's Novum Organum
as justification for "rigorous analysis" in cryptography, by which he apparently means theorem/proof analysis. To my knowledge, that work essentially describes how to conduct empirical scientific experiments to gain knowledge, and does not support the claim that the former ki
mircea_popescu: 2.
As someone pointed out in a comment from My Biased Coin blog, is "incremental results" such a bad thing for the advancement of science that one has to "criticize" in the manner that Koblitz did?
As far
as I can tell, the great Euler published quite a few "incremental results.""
mircea_popescu: "1. My conjecture: all scientific areas do have the "incremental results" problem. Does any one have any data supporting the hypothesis that CS (or TCS) has a higher percentage of "incremental results" published in respectable journals/conferences? If not, Koblitz' criticism is only
as valid
as "there are few women in CS," which though correct is hardly CS' own problem.
mircea_popescu: prepare for a fucking wave of that
as an entire construction of circular shiteating is getting unwound.
mircea_popescu:
As promised, I have written a letter of complaint to the editors of the Notices. I don't know if it will get published (it is also a bit long), but it is available here (pdf) or here (ps) "
mircea_popescu: PeterL yes either set it up
as default or specify it in command line. see manpage.
mats: ascii_butugychag:
as I recall, only a handful died taking the hospital
mircea_popescu: mats> backed by such nonsense
as, 'Israelis do it just fine!11' <<< israelis do it just fine BECAUSE it is mandatory.

as per usual. ("but mr goldstein, you SIGNED that child porn. whadda ya mean it's an automatic process you don't control.")

☟︎ mircea_popescu: "Every file you write in there is signed. There's no manual signing process, no taring or gzipping, no detached sigs. Instead, everything in this folder appears
as plaintext files on everyone's computers. You can even open /keybase/public/yourname in your Finder or Explorer and drag things in."
mircea_popescu: i wish the idiot circuit would write their release document
as to be meaningful to people rather than appealing to goats. da fuck am i going to read out of that windows950-esque screenshot other than "hey, windows 95!"
trinque: still working on the upload step, which may require altering or adding an RPC. gettransaction just tells number of confirmations, not what blockheight that was, and it's not
as though I can call two RPC transactionally

as well.
mircea_popescu:
as is the ballet teacher holding a switch or light cane.
ascii_butugychag: the imbecilatronics will continue exactly
as now until physically unplugged, i suspect
mircea_popescu: phf could have "yes, exactly" on one side and "right, exactly" on the other and you could just raise it
as appropriate :D
mircea_popescu: more importantly : we've done enough positive work, to be met by the imbecile's "oh it never happened, if it did we did it already"
as seen most recently in reddit's digestion of the block thing ; or in phuctor etc. it's time we do something inquisitive, and let the entire world full of fucktards admit that they're useless.
mircea_popescu: ascii_butugychag> the problem is that no such plans exist for ~anything~ except
as part of the engineering context of their time << yet another one of the problems of not running v.
ascii_butugychag: the problem is that no such plans exist for ~anything~ except

mircea_popescu: this works for
as long
as it does, and in no case produces any airpl;anes.

mircea_popescu: if the snake was
as competent
as is required for a living animal, it would certainly not harry djb with inept shit of that level.
mircea_popescu: note that the tsar's snake similarly was seen
as the shit skin only, and look where that took the tsar!
mircea_popescu: nope. they can only build items that look enough like the image of a plane
as hashed through their culture.
mircea_popescu: incidentally, are you happy with the call for papers
as is ?
mircea_popescu: make the postage stamp
as part of the encryption,
as it were.
mircea_popescu: So in re the tmsr call for papers. the Plouffe-Euler-? block cipher would work
as follows :
ascii_butugychag: the hilarious part about american politicircus is that none of the groups pandered-to actually ever ~get~ so much
as a bite of the carrot
ascii_butugychag: he was put on the stage for same reason
as, in last cycle, mike gravel
ascii_butugychag: mircea_popescu: if this were so, may
as well have sent the message in the clear!
mircea_popescu: this is fucking stupid,
as it just cements the bad but apparently tmsr-acceptable now cipher.
mircea_popescu: i think it should yea. besides, here's the beauty of it : "broken" v
as previously was could nevertheless be used to bootstrap fixed v
as currently it is found. you know ?
assbot: Logged on 02-02-2016 23:48:55; mircea_popescu: incidentally, thinking vaguely along the lines of making a b-a call for papers for symm cypher, what would we actually want ? i'm thinking a) block sizes of 1, 4, 16, 64 kbytes. none of that bit-denominated bs, wtf is this, 64 bits. fuck that. b) key size of 64kb fixed. c) bonus points for proved hardness,
as-hard-
as-x etc d) bonus points for not using just basic arithmetics. fuck this shift-and-xor

mod6: I'll keep this in mind
as a test case.
mircea_popescu: maybe not
as self-combustingly insane
as the Bitcoin notion of "accounts" , but still.
mod6: the graph has been updated
as well.
mircea_popescu: what distinction do you do there ? so you sign the txn on one system, and dump it
as a rawtx on another. this is a big deal somehow ?

as googling three-ingredient brownies

as we speak making deedbot use it exactly
as such
adlai: asciilifeform: would it still be correct to say that there is no intent that people use trb
as a wallet? or at least, use the same trb
as a network node and a wallet node?
mircea_popescu: felipelalli the reason you're getting so much grief is that it's not clear how your premises work. i mean i get it, you want to help people, and teach them about otc and so on. this is one thing. but i mean what did you do, i don't follow, reimplement gpg
as a java thing ?
assbot: Logged on 03-02-2016 20:57:51; thestringpuller: aha. so pretty much ~only~ for labratory use
as stated.
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski and missing the "
as mp said back in january 2015" bit, of course.
pete_dushenski: the alternative (atm) is a ~fixed~ set of peers determined at random on start-up,
as seen in 'multibit', which i can tell you from first hand experience this week has not been broadcasting select transactions from select keys. at all. and this is in no way fixable.
pete_dushenski: for a '-connect' private node ? probably, but every single '-addnode' public node, save asciilifeform's majick baltic node, seems to variously lag before restarting, at least
as far
as i can follow from bitnodes.io
mircea_popescu: similarly to how my argument is that rather than "improving" bitcoin, that time'd be better spent fixing the codebase
as it is.
mircea_popescu: he then thinks to himself : "i could shoot
as high or
as low
as i want, and the bullet wouldstill hit the apple, because i'm that special, and because that's what man made muskets for and how bullets work etc".
mircea_popescu: moreover, whether it does or might isn't the point. the point is, can you prove it doesn't have such nature ? because unless you can, speaking of it
as a quota is iffy.
assbot: Logged on 03-02-2016 20:22:52; ascii_butugychag: felipelalli: you say this
as if you had no choice ?
mircea_popescu: in this sense the argument can be brought that while the early block limit
as implemented by miners (using 60% of the 1mb blocks) WAS a quota, the actual 1mb block size is not a quota at all,
