ben_vulpes: > plug their shortfall
Duffer1: it's my understanding that they did it for budgetary reasons and may renew the sharing program when the feds plug their shortfall
assbot: The Justice Department just shut down a huge asset forfeiture program - The Washington Post ... ( http://bit.ly/1Jb3ERn )
adlai: (if anything, this is a symptom of lazyness towards c++ turdballs!)
adlai: unless he's already riding on the upside of the anthill
asciilifeform: so i ride on the outside of the train until kakobrekla wakes.
adlai waits for thereallifeform to see his message
adlai can't even begin to fathom the 'key management protocol'resulting in such symptoms
asciilifeform: adlai: yearly expir time increment
adlai: ;;later tell asciilifeform fwiw, proper key management protocol dictates that one mention the new keyid upon registration of the new
asciilifeform: is there a coprophagiaincambodia.com ?
assbot: How to Use Bitcoin as a Faster Cheaper Easier Western Union - gaysexthailand.com ... ( http://bit.ly/1Jb1QI3 )
asciilifeform: or do they get sheared off at tunnels.
asciilifeform: or do they fall off on their own as the engine revvs up ?
asciilifeform: does the conductor of that paki train wield a stick with which to dislodge excess 'outdoor passengers' ?
asciilifeform: picture if there were no practical way of keeping them out.
asciilifeform: so the stench of poverty everywhere, without exception
asciilifeform: and certainly no way to keep non-paying anybody out of nearly anything
asciilifeform: picture, no such thing as a fine restaurant without stinking beggars and screaming welfare kidz represented 'fairly'
asciilifeform: often i picture how horrified even the most hardened liberast would be if he could visit a meatspace universe that is as devoid of healthy meat-flies separation as the net is today
asciilifeform: and make some temporary breathing room.
asciilifeform: what however ~is~ possible is to bugspray the current set of flies
asciilifeform: it is not actually possible to put meat out in the sun 'but not for flies'
asciilifeform: but ultimately there is no way around http://log.bitcoin-assets.com//?date=27-10-2015#1309343 ☝︎
ben_vulpes: is there reason to suspect that insta-disconnecting nodes will achieve anything rather than queuing the disconnector up for a reconnection shortly?
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: the aws box which appeared to exist solely to tie up zoolag - quite aggressively
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: how aggressively do disconnected nodes attempt to reconnect?
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: the way the socket handler works (and fixing this would involve rewriting more or less everything) a 'lingerer' ties up the box.
asciilifeform: is there a particular reason we ought to be wasting any cycles on 'embrace & extend' fucktards ?
BingoBoingo: I know of none, but I've yet to notice any linger once they get all of the copious nothing that they are entitled to
asciilifeform: any reason we don't insta-disconnect these ?
BingoBoingo: banning AWS has more assholes sending me bloomfilter requests for their SPV bullshit
asciilifeform observes that banning aws has ~increased net throughput~
BingoBoingo: Well, it's not like I'm going to expend effort to figure out if the medium.com social networking site has a way to shoot recruitograms out.
mircea_popescu: well... twitter is a pos social media site...
BingoBoingo: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=27-12-2015#1354184 << In an update on the recruitment suggested by mircea_popescu yesterday, the recruitogram got a twitter like. Not a visit here nor any actual message in reply. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: maybe you taking them out generated a micropanic
jurov: besides, i did have bids most of the time. but dude wanted to avoid them or whatevs
mircea_popescu: cheaper and more effectual way to announce that being, of course, having a bid in i guess.
jurov: mircea_popescu: current price is about right. but there were 2 dips in last few months
mircea_popescu: actually there is a ticket price where everyone WHO SHOULD BE RIDING gets a seat.
assbot: Logged on 27-12-2015 18:50:33; thestringpuller: "You can't fix a capacity problem with fees. If there are only 20 seats on the bus and 25 people that want to ride there is no ticket price where everyone gets a seat." << I love the lulz on reddit. "We want everyone to be equal because we aren't worth shit in the real world. Treat us fairly!!!!!11"
shinohai: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=27-12-2015#1354466 <<< definitely Grade-A popcorn out there today. ☝︎
assbot: Logged on 04-03-2014 01:25:41; asciilifeform: russian derper: 'if we'd let the jerries win, we'd be riding in mercedes benz now!'
mircea_popescu: the white chicks currently inhabiting it could be trained to dance, i suppose. if you can teach bears you can probably teach argentines too
punkman: "maybe if we stop giving out tickets for free, we'll be able to affor a second bus"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform argentina is only notable for the landmass. you can fit about five europes in here.
thestringpuller: "You can't fix a capacity problem with fees. If there are only 20 seats on the bus and 25 people that want to ride there is no ticket price where everyone gets a seat." << I love the lulz on reddit. "We want everyone to be equal because we aren't worth shit in the real world. Treat us fairly!!!!!11" ☟︎
mircea_popescu: apparently all the others somehow got lost in a cloud of "could never happen to me".
asciilifeform: didn't mircea_popescu explain earlier that argentines won't work unless bred in captivity for 10,000 yrs - or something
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the belching smokestacks to usaschwitz ? <<< mongolia, india, pakistan, whatevs. africa, argentina, they're looking.
mircea_popescu: <Quent> personally I suspect Peter Todd and btcdrak << but who the fuck are you to "personally".
asciilifeform: https://cryptome.org/2015/12/nyc-spynet.jpg << from the l0lfarmz
assbot: The Soviet Laser Pistol - The Firearm Blog ... ( http://bit.ly/1NIYnzo )
jurov: it's quite plausible explanation of your shiva hands. you work using hands, while subvocalising on irc at the same time (or other way around)
asciilifeform wonders what other 'best versions' and of what he makes with 'fsb spetznaz plans', and according to whom.
assbot: Logged on 27-12-2015 18:08:33; VariaVarietatis: asciilifeform: someone told me you made the best version based on the fsb/spetsnaz plans true?
jurov: anyone: before panic selling x.eur at 4x the value, please consult me first
VariaVarietatis: heard they have been in use for 10-15 years. at this point.
jurov: yes spetsnaz gave him plans when he was 10 and emigrated to USA
VariaVarietatis: asciilifeform: someone told me you made the best version based on the fsb/spetsnaz plans true? ☟︎
VariaVarietatis: Yes, they are pretty nice been using one for a two months turns out everyone seems to have them was last one in on them.
asciilifeform: why do you need this ? got some prisoners who like to subvocalize launch codes in their sleep ?
asciilifeform: afaik there is not a commercial gadget for subvocal
BingoBoingo: Plug one in and try it
BingoBoingo: Yes. Oscilliscope works for this.
VariaVarietatis: Has anyone heard about something that around the t0 and t1 vertebra and lets you talk without talking?
asciilifeform: 'It is about sending a strong message. I think we may need to start an accreditation scheme for Bitcoin-consensus compliant wallets and services. Through code signing and use of multisig, we can even distinguish transactions made by compliant wallets and non-compliant wallets, and have pools not mine them (or wallets refuse to send to known-non-compliant wallets).' ☟︎☟︎☟︎

assbot: Logged on 27-12-2015 17:05:53; mircea_popescu: da fuck ? the chain's well over 150gb
asciilifeform: most of the extant literature concerning dpa is about extracting firmware from copyprotected microcontrollers in a laboratory setting
asciilifeform: as i pointed out a year+ ago, a trezor plugged into a specially-instrumented but visually uninteresting pc will give up its key.
asciilifeform: or, in modern times, you plug your box into a usb jack in a cafe
asciilifeform: e.g., a typewriter in an embassy, and enemy attached a precision ampermeter to your mains
asciilifeform: the scenario of a dpa attack is where you have possession of the machine, but the enemy controls the power supply
asciilifeform: at the very least, he can make use of it using the machine as it was designed to be used
asciilifeform: i suppose i ought to explain dpa as a thing
asciilifeform: thestringpuller: if you have trouble sourcing batteries not containing usg dpa circuitry, invest in a dental xray machine
thestringpuller: will cardano be vulnerable to DPA?
asciilifeform: (and also i will add that trezor has a considerably simpler orifice, but we digress, folks who read the logz know what it is)
thestringpuller: shinohai: "two bit idiot likes this tweet"
assbot: Logged on 27-12-2015 16:46:59; thestringpuller: oh wow. ALF was right on the money using DPA to break the trezor.
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=27-12-2015#1354327 << dpa is not only not my idea, but it pre-dates the computer (see, e.g., https://fveydocs.org/document/learning-enemy-gunman concerning typewriters, or the soviet cipher machines that had ballast coils) ☝︎
asciilifeform: long ago, after the failed american invasion of cuba at the bay of pigs, usg offered a million for the head of castro's #2, half a million for #3, and a penny for castro's
thestringpuller: okay enough of that
Quent: 1btc to erm kill sipa I think
thestringpuller: asciilifeform: there is only 480 listed xtnodes
Quent: I don't think you guys have the brains or funds to carry out these DDoses ☟︎
asciilifeform apparently slept through this
Quent: and XT nodes before that
Quent: personally I suspect Peter Todd and btcdrak
asciilifeform: the ddos of trilema ? qntra ?
Quent: but thought to give you the opportunity to deny it and show just how elite you are...
Quent: obviously I don't expect truthful statements
Quent: you guys behind these DDoses?
mircea_popescu: psa : do not use the gpg supplied mechanism for "key expiration", or anything else from there as far as "key management" goes for that matter.
mircea_popescu: da fuck ? the chain's well over 150gb ☟︎
BingoBoingo: From the mines: "I didn't know if I wanted to laugh or cry when I went to a class to make sure we knew about this special equipment locked away in out large hospital and how to get/order it. Plus we were told we weren't allowed to call them anything but "bariatric" for fear that the patient or family might overhear it called the "big boy" chair or the 1000lb lift sling, or the XXXXL whatever. "
BingoBoingo: The controversy was if anyone would care enough to do it
