trinque: that'll be my next retort
to someone against guns.
pete_dushenski: "Protecting your privacy is our
top priority and although exploiting
this vulnerability is difficult and requires an attacker
to specifically
target you, we feel like we let you down with our initial response. Please accept our apologies, we are sorry."
pete_dushenski: "
The vulnerability relies on
the fact
that a direct route exists between
the VPN client and server. If
the client accesses a forwarded port on
the VPN server
that is maliciously set up by an attacker,
the client will use
the direct route using
the user's default route, bypassing
the VPN entirely."
pete_dushenski: e-mail from private internet access : ""Dear Valued Customer, On November 17, we were privately notified of an IP address leak vulnerability affecting
the port forwarding feature of our service. Essentially, anyone connecting
to a forwarded port on any of our VPN gateways could have
their real IP address leaked
to an attacker specifically
targeting a PIA user."
BingoBoingo: Ponerty: "I am a one-trick pony; most of you are happy with my
trick, so please
pete_dushenski: diana_coman: dun worry, folks with families (you, me, davout, ben_vulpes) aren't held
to
the same publishing frequency standards :P
diana_coman: oh my, I might need
to actually start writing with any sort of regularity now
trinque: been a few complaints; I like it as an intro
to
the feed
trinque: someday I'll fix
that
too, but not
today!
pete_dushenski: a little more familiarity with diana_coman's writings should help
to clarify and solidify
the abstractions rolling around in my noodle.
pete_dushenski: who, being unattached and not in my wot, are just vaguely ~out
there~
pete_dushenski: well,
there's hanbot, who's easy
to identify because she's with mp, and
there's apparently ALL
THE REST
mircea_popescu: alternatively, all women are
the same woman, eh pete_dushenski ?
☟︎ pete_dushenski: it's so hard
to keep names straight when
there are no faces
to match
them
to...
gribble: chetty was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 11 weeks, 0 days, 4 hours, 59 minutes, and 44 seconds ago: <chetty> perhaps
this will backlash into getting more people off windows ...nah, I dream
diana_coman: or rather:
talking more in #eulora I suppose
BingoBoingo: BashCo: Maybe register with assbot and submit a piece on
the reddit
tire fire?
BashCo: sorry, I haven't
taken
the
time
to set
that stuff up yet.
BingoBoingo: Reddit
tends
to bring out
the social engineers and spammers for sure
BashCo: /r/bitcoin is burning _again_... it's like
that 50 year coal fire.
pete_dushenski feels sorry for
the conpherence attendees who will be subjected
to many more such 'jokes' in next decade of bahamas' wooden-tongued speeking
toor.
pete_dushenski: it's
that presidential pardons are hard
to come by. "i haz power u guise!"
pete_dushenski: also,
those obama girls dress like fucking slobs omfg.
assbot: You rated user CoraCrist on 30-Nov-2015, with a rating of 3, and supplied
these additional notes: XOtika.tv CEO - Handles bussiness side, press, recruiting, marketing, hr, pr.
pete_dushenski: "
They were probably my happiest years ever, as
the hotel was
THE place
to be back before
the nouveau riche scum from
the Middle East and
the old Soviet Union polluted
the place beyond repair or redemption. Visit it and weep." ~taki
mircea_popescu: iirc
taki
theodoracopulos of "of fucking course you can't rape a 16 yo MALE" fame got booted from whatever sharecropping outfit he was working for prior and struck out on his own.
BingoBoingo: I also dunno if
there is a single
taki? Seems
to be a variety of bylines
BingoBoingo: Mebbe princessnell can drop a line next
time she comes around
these parts?
mircea_popescu: incidentally,
that
takimag is not bad, and
taki himself is historically pretty close
to sanity.
BingoBoingo: Very good month, but
trending better all month
too
BingoBoingo: Well, hard
to
trust signal fidelity with
two cans and a string
pete_dushenski: looks like 'someone claiming
to be ceo claims
that xxx will be supported on such and such a date. maybe. if we/they/someone gets around
to it"
pete_dushenski: ""I
think it's one of
the dumbest
things I've ever seen, or perhaps most naïve,"
Trump said. "He actually is somewhat naïve, if you want
to know
the
truth, beyond
the incompetent part.""
pete_dushenski: "Trump was
taking Obama
to
task for his past remarks
that global climate change is one of
the greatest
threats facing
the United States and
the world. "I
think one of
the dumbest statements I've ever heard in politics -- in
the history of politics as I know it, which is pretty good, was Obama's statement
that our No. 1 problem is global warming,""
BingoBoingo: Apparently USia is
turning into country for nobody but old men
mircea_popescu: for
the needs of
this conversation, as well as so many others.
mircea_popescu: but
this is also
typical of
terminal empires, so in my view
the whole experience of
the united states can be simply >/dev/null
mircea_popescu: this onlyt happens because
the old farts feel safe, and
they feel safe because
the kids aren't alright, not by a damn sight.
mircea_popescu: it's
true
that young kids in
the us aren't qualified
to be
toddlers, and it's
true
that as a result
they sheepishly accept salaries
that are a decaying joke.
mircea_popescu: anyway, not so sure
the brief post ww2 experience of
the us bovines has or should have much place in
this conversation.
pete_dushenski: "Now
that my fellow executives and I are goddamn beverage conquistadors, we’re going
to enjoy
this cocaine-fueled rocket ride for as long as it lasts. I’m blasting off
to fucking Mars, dicksuckers, and I’m headed straight
through
the belly of
the goddamn sun!" << obligatory, if indeed it's
the case
that 30 years is
the best case (or ideal case) scenario for
the
time alloted us.
mircea_popescu: so heck, maybe a new bitcoin every ~30 years is actually
the correct state.
mircea_popescu: but
that doesn't mean
that bulk and wholesale old people have anything
to
trade with young people, or vice-versa.
ben_vulpes: well i know
that i own m/n of
the monetary supply
today, and m/n+whatever at
t sub whatever in
the future
mircea_popescu: and, notably, we don't even know generational re-bitcoin is actually such a bad idea. it's
true
that some, few and far between, old people have relevancy for young people, and
that a minority of
teens will gladly spread for a VERY
thin minority of "come see my new movie. with catherine zeta jones. raaa!"
ben_vulpes: yes
the monetary base is changing in size, but we all know
to what degree.
ben_vulpes: if
the market can algorithmically price inflation in
though, does
the notion of inflation even make sense?
mircea_popescu: because once
that magical line is crossed, we'll start seeing cycling behaviour.
mircea_popescu: which kinda is why
the discussion was about a
time far, far away. four
to five halvings into
the future
this matter becomes important.
mircea_popescu: by
this formula current btc inflation is almost 10x as high as it should be.
mircea_popescu: the key advantage of fiction is
that it's not required
to
tell any part of
the story it doesn't want
to.
mircea_popescu: hence my comment comparing
to a holywood star. it wasn't idle words.
ascii_field: btc is an interesting
thing imho in a good part ~because~ it specifically refrained from
trying
to solve
this
mircea_popescu: i
then looked into
the obvious, and
the obvious obviously doesn\t work.
mircea_popescu: but i was discussing obvious
translations from irl
to btc.
mircea_popescu: note, i did not for a second propose
these are good, or even above 0 solutions.
they are not.
mircea_popescu: yes, it would encourage holders of btc
to also hold miners./
mircea_popescu: absent
this,
the society cycles, with old schmucks masskilled periodically.
