mircea_popescu: because should you obtain the encrypted file there's nothing you can do.
mircea_popescu: nanotube and as to "use both" : the point of science, any science, is to isolate what works from what doesn't and exclude the latter. this is why dentist treats your teeth his way rather than recommending you "also use shaman method".
mircea_popescu: so what is this, "it's safe because bad guy is presumed stupid" ?
mircea_popescu: but that's the usecase man. full disk encryption is supposed to protect the data from physical access attacks.
mircea_popescu: nanotube if i get your "full disk encrupted" pc i can full disk decrypt it. if i get your gpg'd stuff, good luck to me.
mircea_popescu: we'll be registered once we take over, and we make the rules for registration.
mircea_popescu: until such a time I move into the building vacated by the fiat ex-stock exchange, and until such a time I'm sitting on the policy panel deciding how stock exchanging works, this will remain the case.
mircea_popescu: "Dr. Garrow states President Obama had Tom Clancy killed as well and noted that it takes 5 days for plant toxins and most poisons to break down and leave no traces in the human body. Amazingly enough, or coincidentally, the doctors did not perform an autopsy on Tom Clancy’s body for 5 days."
mircea_popescu: that aside, i can live fine with people up to about "modern conservatism"
mircea_popescu: big deal russian girl band. first group to get eu platinum in two languages.
mircea_popescu: "si no cocino, no como" > if i don't pork, i don't come.
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves ya srsly ?! is this from your fractional pt thing ?
mircea_popescu: activemining isn't worth anything. him i have no idea, who runs it ?
mircea_popescu: naemsi what us crackdown dood ? it's a scam. forget about it.
mircea_popescu: i can't believe someone's even asking about that still lol.
mircea_popescu: it's trading slightly above the girl's estimation, what'd you hope ?
mircea_popescu: obviously whities could not have figured out on their own this brilliant "shift letters" technique
mircea_popescu: Although the parties had access to far better encryption techniques (Karim himself used PGP for data storage on computer disks), they chose to use their own scheme(implemented in Microsoft Excel), rejecting a more sophisticated code program called Mujhaddin Secrets "because 'kaffirs', or non-believers, know about it, so it must be less secure".
mircea_popescu: In 2011, Rajib Karim was convicted in the United Kingdom of "terrorism offences" after using the Caesar cipher to communicate with Bangladeshi Islamic activists discussing plots to blow up British Airways planes or disrupt their IT networks.
mircea_popescu: In April 2006, fugitive Mafia boss Bernardo Provenzano was captured in Sicily partly because some of his messages, written in a variation of the Caesar cipher, were broken. Provenzano's cipher used numbers, so that "A" would be written as "4", "B" as "5", and so on.
mircea_popescu: _Neil to answer your original question : an judged escrow service. people could, in principle, use bitbet private bets to resolve disputes of the nature the rota was supposed to resolve.
mircea_popescu: anyway, the point you bring isn't without merit in any case.
mircea_popescu: sadly ips aren't impossible to fake, either, especially by a locakl attacker
mircea_popescu: well, IPs are difficult to fake. domain names not so. this is a thing of the internet, i didn't make it that way
mircea_popescu: someone craks the tls (which HAS been done), comes and mitm's bitbet with
https just fine
mircea_popescu: this is a point. the problem with
https is that it doesn't REALLY deliver that end to end promise.
mircea_popescu: i mean, youy have to realise, my technical involvement in bitbet is modest, i mostly do business stuff for it.
mircea_popescu: in principle you can edit your hosts file and avoid dns altogether.
mircea_popescu: you enter a pw when you create it, and only people with the pw can bet.
mircea_popescu: so basically is repackaged deb with some network rewrites ?
mircea_popescu: pankkake i know where the crazy character came from, too. it's on google results pages, after the url of results.
mircea_popescu: i dunno what sort of intel community this is, on pps. it boggles.
mircea_popescu: i would have just used a converter personally, but hey. sometimes you're stuck.
mircea_popescu: well in his defense, he might have been stuck with it on account of whatever the snowden bundle contained.
mircea_popescu: (i swear i haven't changed it since, but maybe you got a messy page ?)
