assbot: Emergency Medicine Society Recommends a Rectal Exam to Rule-out Back Pain | GomerBlog ... ( http://bit.ly/1NhdbSl )
ben_vulpes: stained the neilmed squeeze bottle yellow
ben_vulpes: once upon a time (when i still got sick, before i brought my own disease vector into the house) i dissolved some curcumin into the saline solution
ben_vulpes: BingoBoingo: yup. totally sterile, the way god intended it be.
ben_vulpes: ascii_field: i have *just* (as in the past week) located my wot's signal analyzer
ben_vulpes: BingoBoingo: they come in saline-under-co2-in-a-can versions
BingoBoingo: Drug was hiding in the beverage
BingoBoingo: Ah, but you have a catecholamine drug in the tea! That's the secret!
jurov: and i don't have ephedrine in these pills
BingoBoingo: Ah, if I break down and sign my name to the list I'll prolly get cetirizine + pseudoephedrine but I dunno what that tea is
jurov: and the tea is expensive, tho
jurov: luckily i so far did not need meth precursors, only *cetizine pills and benifuki tea
BingoBoingo: Apparently brewing an immediate pseudophedrine precursor (With Yeast and Dextrose!) isn't too bad. Maybe there's some way to astroturf the hippies into promoting "natural" pseudoephedrine brewing
BingoBoingo: And no. A fucking neti pot is not an option because I'm not a hippy and I don't want fucking brain parasites because this is the third world.
BingoBoingo: Seriously. My choices to avoid mouthbreathing until this things resolves are 1. Sign my name to the methlist 2. Placebo 3. Topical spray that can't reach site of action because of cold related fluid build up
mircea_popescu: at some point this'll have to be systematized, ain't nobody got time to keep track of all the retarded arbitrary shit. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: if you think "the patriarchy" is causing "global warming", you go on the foodstamp list. if you think government is causing the decay of society, you get on the no travel list.
mircea_popescu: if you're a 20something woman working in an office and you think you might have been raped by a 50 something outdoors type of guy, poor you. if you're a 50something outdoors type of guy and think you might have been raped by a 20something irs office drone, fuck you.
mircea_popescu: if you're trying to get an abortion, yay! if you're trying to buy a gun BOO!!!
mircea_popescu: if you think you're "transsexual" that's a protected class. if you got allergies, fuck you.
mircea_popescu: heh. the lulzy this yes that no selection the usg does.
mircea_popescu: the state of the fart.
ascii_field: but i pasted the link because APPARENTLY THIS IS the state of the art
ascii_field: and the whole 'gccrec' thing is ick
ascii_field: if anyone actually gets this to work, please say.
ascii_field: ... aaaand it doesn't seem to actually work
ascii_field: any of you every try gccsense ? (http://cx4a.org/software/gccsense )
mircea_popescu: war was won by romanian troops with russian auxiliaries under romanian command. so HA!
mircea_popescu: „Turcii, adunând cele mai mari mase de trupe la Plevna, ne zdrobesc. Rog să faci fusiune, demonstrațiune și, dacă se poate, să treci Dunărea cu armata după cum dorești. Între Jiu și Corabia demonstrațiunea aceasta este neapărat necesară pentru înlesnirea mișcărilor mele.” etc.
hanbot: BingoBoingo from mp's latest qntra lulz, "has moved on to playing with the the little rocks", double-the.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field what do you think happened in teh turk-russian war ?
trinque: hm. on the other side, Crimea is a bit closer to Ankara isn't it.
mircea_popescu: except there's no romania around to save the russians' butt this time
mircea_popescu: alternatively they're ready for a rematch of 1878
trinque: http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/11/29/us-mideast-crisis-turkey-russia-pilot-idUSKBN0TI07T20151129 << the angle I see here is that Turkey wants Russia to tell them of their operations in Syria in advance so that Turkey can pass the information along to their allies within ☟︎
trinque: they also tweeted something about it a few days ago
trinque: there's mention of freenode ddos in teh logz
trinque: ascii_field: it has; in this case reconnected as deedbot-- but could not auth
BingoBoingo: ascii_field: mebbe deedbot is afraid of the gossipd similarity to usenet? Fears #b-a.tasteless?
mircea_popescu: no, it's not "the internet". it's the usenet/bbs/forum model.
mircea_popescu: the only problem with that thing is that IT makes emotion unreadable
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: sorta like the difference between meat chess and epistolary chess
mircea_popescu: line rather than paragraph ? ☟︎
mircea_popescu: what's the difference you'd say ?
ascii_field actually prefers usenet-style conversation, and was resistant to b-a-ization initially because of it
mircea_popescu: thinking about it twitter is particularly apt for this job.
mircea_popescu: should be there in days rather than yerars, yes. should be there in microseconds rather than seconds ? mno.
mircea_popescu: if anything real-time is truly DETRIMENTAL, if my mpex and our ba experience has taught us anything.
mircea_popescu: seems the b-a works just fine with logline refs.
ascii_field: and the passive nodes are kept abreast of the 'drop site' list
ascii_field: this is sorta like blockchain telegraph - works great if you don't need frequent/real-time updates
mircea_popescu: the alternative is susceptible to filtering on infrastructure you don't own.
mircea_popescu: to put this morning's set of realisations in a simple, clear package : making a battleship is nowhere near as good as making a battleship out of ustard decapitated heads.
ascii_field: one of the caveats is that 'pull'-anything is susceptible to engineered slowdown
ascii_field: malware c&c machinery uses this method.
mircea_popescu: bleed tghem dry.
ascii_field: not to mention the www stack (apache et all) is a massive turd
mircea_popescu: you can use fucking twitter for all the difference it makes.
mircea_popescu: nobody cares if "fall over" because there's so damned many of them.
mircea_popescu: leaving aside the theory. the model here contemplated is actually workable.
ascii_field: but 'handful of servers' is what we have today, and it falls over when enemy so much as sneezes at it.
ascii_field: (see old thread)
ascii_field: no need to lay own cable
mircea_popescu: is both a lot more feasible and way cheaper than the alternative "we'll lay our own cable fu"
mircea_popescu: looky. a gossipd based on the concept that you keep firewalled clients at home and they connect to a random pile of websites, which simply respond with pgp -w text
ascii_field: and permits all-comers to cost you memory (for however short a time) and not only cpu cycles.
ascii_field: that tcp is retarded ?
mircea_popescu: so what's the problem you see ?
ascii_field: regardless of why or form whom he accepts them.
mircea_popescu: so... every website on the internet. ok. so ?
ascii_field: whoever accepts tcp connections is ddosable.
ascii_field: then to whom do you intend to make outbound connection ?
ascii_field: because a node of whom you are not a friend ought not to be distinguishable in any way whatsoever from an empty wall socket.
ascii_field: ~connections~ are idiocy and ought to be dispensed with entirely.
ascii_field: ~somebody~ has to permit inbound. and he's the ddos target.
ascii_field: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=29-11-2015#1333508 << this borders on the genius of the proverbial 'polish space program' - 'we will fly to the sun, not the moon! -- but sun is hot! -- we will fly at night' ☝︎
BingoBoingo: fxd, I think
ascii_field: i told him 'try feeding nulls through aes with null iv and pipe into ent'
mircea_popescu: he could get 8.5 bts/byte from urandom for the same money.
ascii_field: he asked 'i get 7.9999999 bts/byte from urandom, why not from yours' and we had a chat about the idiocy of whitening
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo now there's no paragraphs ?!
ascii_field: btw i had a fella ask me about rng at a job interview thing
ascii_field: (i think it was mircea_popescu )
ascii_field: iirc i even left one of the chaps with a suitable plug
ascii_field: or mircea_popescu for that matter
mircea_popescu: also the first <a is unclosed.
mircea_popescu: so far we're mostly finding novel ways to use up entropy we don't really have.
assbot: The PGP -w mode on Trilema - A blog by Mircea Popescu. ... ( http://bit.ly/1QNMhYU )
jurov: i'd do it like - with every party agree on a different corpus to be fed to shannonizer
ascii_field: where the input skews the probabilities
mircea_popescu: one could in principle do exactly what FM does to radio waves.
ascii_field: my ancient version of this used a modulated shannonizer
mircea_popescu: which is to say : it provides a clean, standard interface that preserves personal and various thing entirely.
mircea_popescu: i suppose here wins. anyway : the proposed scheme has exactly the advantage of alphabet
mircea_popescu: we gonna talk here or there
ascii_field: rather than standardized in any sense
ascii_field: imho stego by its very nature ought to be a personal and various thing

mircea_popescu: suppose you donate things you actually own.
