copypaste: otherwise, they cannot come with you
copypaste: even if they are infants
copypaste: in USA, you are required to even get passports for your kids
asciilifeform: is how this worked.
copypaste: so you've never left russia then?
asciilifeform: but it is actually possible not to end up with one
asciilifeform: whether the bantustan passport does you any good, is separate question
assbot: Logged on 08-01-2016 11:26:48; copypaste: i have a feeling this will soon happen on a massive scale to Americans, when the USG goes under
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=08-01-2016#1362849 << this did not happen with sov citizens. normally there is some bantustan which is in an immediate hurry to lay claim to the fragments of the old empire ☝︎
mircea_popescu: more or less. in this case it's mostly because you probably don't speak spanish to a level acceptable in court.
copypaste: (and perhaps bribing the only autist in the country, thereby landing yourself in jail)
copypaste: lawyers typically know exactly who to bribe, saving you the trouble of finding out yourself
copypaste: in the third world a lawyer can make miracles happen
asciilifeform: ah so it is like in usa, but with a couplea zeros shaved off the price
copypaste: now this is true
mircea_popescu: you don't buy new teeth like buying milk, either.
mircea_popescu: were you fishing for a nail to hang your explanation on ?
mircea_popescu: fortunately uruguay is right there.
copypaste: if you're married the requirement is 5
copypaste: compared to Philippines, where the requirement is 10; unless you get married (Philippines has no divorce, only country other than Vatican City with no divorce laws on the books, or even in Congress)
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: that was a question. can ~i~ walk in with a few $k and get it.
asciilifeform: copypaste: yeah that's what i thought
mircea_popescu: you should prolly spend more time asking questions than sprouting sententiousness.
copypaste: quite a low residency requirement, copared to other countries
copypaste: the requirement on the books for an Argentine passport is 2 years residency
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform for the record, you're talking to a guy with an actual record of up-and-getting-out
assbot: Logged on 08-01-2016 11:16:09; mircea_popescu: copypaste argentina is ok. the weather is nice, the food is excellent, it's not terribly expensive and the government is a joke. for your purpose it is excellent, you can get a passport for a few grand nqa.
asciilifeform: 'let's throw broken bottles around everywhere, enemy might trip on one !'
assbot: Logged on 08-01-2016 04:19:45; phf: ben_vulpes: you call that thing like void foo(args) { IMPLEMENT_RANDOMIZE_STACK(foo(args)); ...}, static makes nLoops shared, so the logic is, you set it to some random value between 1 and 21 and then recurse down that many times, "randomizing" the stack
assbot: Logged on 08-01-2016 04:14:58; punkman: ben_vulpes: some kind of aslr? I think we had a thread about it, but can't find it now
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=08-01-2016#1362773 << aslr is not the correct term (it refers to os-level address space randomization) ☝︎
asciilifeform: these folks don't do much emailing outside of the grounds
copypaste: thus, using the MX record
asciilifeform: copypaste: mega-bureaucracies don't really give much of a fuck whether their public site stays up, they fall down routinely. and at this point are all 'cloudflared' anyway.
asciilifeform: copypaste: same thing as in africa. the poverty, of every kind, that leads to no other port being in any hurry to invite you in
copypaste: asciilifeform: what in your opinion is the real problem?
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=08-01-2016#1362816 << 'red herring', then as now. passport is not how typical usaschwitz inmate is kept inside the wire. ☝︎☟︎
asciilifeform: i can easily believe that he has descended into... this
mircea_popescu: iirc one piece even in the log.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i used to like szabo a lot more. but omfg, then i read some of his stuff.
mircea_popescu: can't sell "your" barber shop, but yah you can have a little money to "see you through a rough spot"
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> 'we will graciously agree to lend you, at interest, a portion of your own money, which we confiscated.' << this is how any serious mob works, really.
asciilifeform: srsly, szabo was there ?
asciilifeform: 'Is was Wednesday, March 26, 2014. It was a cold winter outside, but not inside an old building of the Princeton university campus. The room, full of people, was warm. I was standing in front of some of the brightest minds in Bitcoin: Andresen, Bonneau, Eyal, Maxwell, Miller, Gün Sirer, Szabo, Todd and Zooko, to name only a few. My talk was about “SPV Mining”...' ☟︎
asciilifeform: 'we will graciously agree to lend you, at interest, a portion of your own money, which we confiscated.'
asciilifeform: coming soon to a nato bank near you!!11
asciilifeform: 'To paraphrase: “It may seem weird that we’re holding collateral on your account and offering you a loan, but that was not a mistake! You’re still eligible. Contact me if interested.”'
mircea_popescu: in the daily okcupid lulz installment, http://trilema.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/say-shit.png
mircea_popescu: much much better to be, if not one of odovacer's men, at least any of the other "barbarian"'s retinue than to hang out with the so-called "count" bracilla at ravenna.
mircea_popescu: it behooves one to be part of the group that stabs the thing to death and drinks its blood.
mircea_popescu: experience shows that it never pays to wait to be shat on by the corporate fiction that supposedly owns you.
copypaste: so, i would like to acquire another citizenship before that happens :D
copypaste: except instead of just letting potentially thousands of people stick around in an airport, they'll just be loaded in a cargo plane and dumped over whatever remains of the midwest :p
copypaste: i have a feeling this will soon happen on a massive scale to Americans, when the USG goes under ☟︎
copypaste: well it's about a guy whose country ceases to exist and he gets stuck in an airport arrival area for over a year ☟︎
copypaste: have you ever seen "The Terminal", with Tom Hanks?
mircea_popescu: and before the japan stove incident.
copypaste: Now Australia on the other hand, fuck that entire continent
mircea_popescu: eh it's bullshit. this was before the earthquake.
copypaste: New Zealand seems nice, but how they treat Kim Dotcom will show their true colors
mircea_popescu: a week latter the letter arrived, and he was like... bwhahahahaha.
copypaste: it was one of the better ones before they made these new rules
mircea_popescu: lol funny thing : while i was in costa rica i was considering going to new zealand. went to british consulate that handled the whole slew of dominions, woman told me i need a visa. was all wtf'd, wrote to the ro exterior minister at the time (young guy from my party) going wtf. the VERY NEXT DAY it was announced the visa requirement was mutually dropped.
copypaste: simply to avoid any confrontation
copypaste: when people ask which country i am from anad they are strangers, I say Canada
copypaste: eh, i would say that the US passport is by far the worst
mircea_popescu: british is prolly the worst, largest selection of people who hate them
copypaste: and that's all
copypaste: you get visa free access to some countries in Africa, its neighbors in Asia (but not any of the actually important ones - like China or Japan), and some south american countries
copypaste: the Philippine passport is one of the worst
mircea_popescu: then it turned out... one of the better that exist.
mircea_popescu: yeah. lulziest case of the hare and the turtle ever. all my life that i can remember romanians thought it's the worst
copypaste: Romania, now that's a good passport
copypaste: i fail to see how it increases security at all
copypaste: they say that it's to follow "international standards" and to make the passport more "secure"
copypaste: the thing about the pages is what surprises me...
mircea_popescu: been on for a while. (and was predicted a year or two before it happened, also in the log)
mircea_popescu: iirc that was discussed in the logs
assbot: Overdue taxes? You could lose your U.S. passport - Nov. 20, 2015 ... ( http://bit.ly/1TJeu1o )
copypaste: they also are not issuing passports if they think you owe them money
copypaste: the USG is already so bankrupt that it stopped adding passport pages, you have to pay them for a whole new passport
mircea_popescu: so then it's perfect for you.
copypaste: i want to renounce my passport before the USG goes under because such event, which i think will happen in my lifetime, will make me stateless
mircea_popescu: this, from what i hear, should be no change from the fillipines.
mircea_popescu: nevertheless, the people are idiots on an african level, and on the whole on their own strength on the open market not worth the price of a decent burial.
mircea_popescu: copypaste argentina is ok. the weather is nice, the food is excellent, it's not terribly expensive and the government is a joke. for your purpose it is excellent, you can get a passport for a few grand nqa. ☟︎
adlai: it's actually not a tweet, there's an entire article following the title
shinohai: Anyone that seriously thinks SPV mining is good should be strangled with the blockchain. ☟︎
assbot: “SPV mining” is the solution, not the problem | Bitslog ... ( http://bit.ly/1JywhIi )
assbot: Paypal froze our funds, then offered us a business loan — Medium ... ( http://bit.ly/1OT41wh )
punkman: from the comparative music studies department, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WY5S9cBfh3s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VVjRyxjTaHM
phf: maybe? gcc does TCO, but the code does foo(); return; rather then return foo(); so who knows..
punkman: I remember reading that gcc might optimize that away too
ben_vulpes: why would do people use programming languages that do this?
phf: so in case you get a stack overflow in the exposed code, doing a shellbuffer return becomes mildly trickier
phf: they randomize all the stacks that are exposed to the network
ben_vulpes: so this gathering nausea in the pit of my stomach when i read through implement_randomize_stack is perhaps an intuitive clue
phf: ben_vulpes: you call that thing like void foo(args) { IMPLEMENT_RANDOMIZE_STACK(foo(args)); ...}, static makes nLoops shared, so the logic is, you set it to some random value between 1 and 21 and then recurse down that many times, "randomizing" the stack ☟︎
assbot: Logged on 28-10-2015 00:47:01; mats: this is the 'we know where the bugs _may_ hide, what locks _may_ have master key, so layer accordingly' defense. and often, variations of aslr are involved, despite how you feel about 'if they're in you've got bigger problems anyways'
punkman: ben_vulpes: some kind of aslr? I think we had a thread about it, but can't find it now ☟︎
