copypaste: otherwise,
they cannot come with you
copypaste: in USA, you are required
to even get passports for your kids
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
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
mircea_popescu: were you fishing for a nail
to hang your explanation on ?
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)
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.
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
copypaste: asciilifeform: what in your opinion is
the real problem?
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.
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?
copypaste: Now Australia on
the other hand, fuck
that entire continent
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: 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: 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: 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)
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
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.
☟︎ 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

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
