mircea_popescu: in the sense that old coinbase are worth that many btcdays
mircea_popescu: According to Pileggi, Scorsese cold-called the writer and told him, "I've been waiting for this book my entire life." To which Pileggi replied "I've been waiting for this phone call my entire life".
mircea_popescu: interestingly, the chick is actually french and she doesn't speak romanian. learned it phonetically.
mircea_popescu: english is so banal. i can only imagine what that'd have sounded like in romanian.
mircea_popescu: i think it's pretty much useful as a way to write for smartphones, but it does run in linux.
mircea_popescu: Arvixe (hosting) Openly and respectfully state that while they dont permit a TOR exit on shared hosting accounts, you are very welcome to run one on a VPS account.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform don't you find that amazon love quite damning ?
mircea_popescu: and i gave clear orders no futher bets to be accepted!!1 the entire system is breaking down!
mircea_popescu: pankkake : did you read the "At the end of this procedure, the working slate will have been re-formatted, and will appear empty - as Cardano no longer possesses the old block-cipher key." part ?
mircea_popescu: because this isn't a cool thing, this is a useful thing.
mircea_popescu: this is how the thing is intended to work. there aren't and won't be unrelated cases glued on because people think they're cool.
mircea_popescu: the definitive protection to this is a) don't lose physical control of the stick and b) destroy the slate.
mircea_popescu: if you are real good and manage to extracrt the cypher out of the chip and decode the working slate, you might be able to read whatever's not been destroyed on the drive.
mircea_popescu: if you have physical control of the stick, you can remove the working slate, but still can't read it, because it has a cypher.
mircea_popescu: if you have remote control of the connected pc, but no physical control of the stick,
mircea_popescu: hardly a goal. but anyway, let's go throuigh the thing to make sure we're all on the same page, har har.
mircea_popescu: can you quote where this goal you imagine for me was stated ?
mircea_popescu: the definition of petulence is "i've not done anything to date but i will declare your item "flawed" because i am upset that you don't agree with what i think is the case".
mircea_popescu: there's no way around it, and petulence certainly ain't it.
mircea_popescu: pankkake listen man, sometimes you will confront this situation where your imagination does not meet reality. people will tell you this, you will have to somehow digest it.
mircea_popescu: jurov there's a lot of sales copy there but i dunno how it's supposed to work/be implemented.
mircea_popescu: the product is fine. you have an issue being somehow convinced you can design stuff while simultaneously not having a clue what rom is.
mircea_popescu: it does. if you are concerned about this point, copy a file repeatedly until the bits die, and so then it won't be.
mircea_popescu: as opposed to how commercial flash drioves work (optimised for least wear)
mircea_popescu: jurov which is why this is optimised the opposite way. it will wear down the bits.
mircea_popescu: consequently, you can trash the bits yourself by repeatedly copying/deleting a file to it.
mircea_popescu: jurov the writing scheme is most-used rather than least-used
mircea_popescu: so as to rpotect from a variety of snooping techniques such as diff analysis from the host.
mircea_popescu: pankkake maybe, but it'd be a diff product. this one separates itself from computer when touching the key,
mircea_popescu: if it confuses people it's because people gotta learn what the words mean.
mircea_popescu: ram is volatile, rom is not volatile. it's what the words mean.
mircea_popescu: jurov well hopefully it has a 8gb slate, it puts it right there
mircea_popescu: it's the same thing you find if you crack open any usb stick
mircea_popescu: o wait. no need to solder, cause nsa made it replaceable.
mircea_popescu: C) Working slate ROM. This Flash ROM is removable, and may be inspected or replacedx by customers either before deploying the unit or at any point during.
mircea_popescu: pankkake yeah the idea is, you can make a simple bash script to backup sites
