binaryatrocity: Lincoln is
the "luxury" line of
the Ford motor company
binaryatrocity: Yes i am currently reading
them. I also have a job
to do, was hoping for a succinct answer, oh well, I'll read at my leisure.
Thank you.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: correction -
turns out it was not 'jaguar' but something else. still, spiffier
than my old
tub.
binaryatrocity: I completely understand
that argument, I just wanted some elaboration on "fundamental alignment with evil" heh
mircea_popescu: jurov yeah but
that's not meaningful
to him. because dat variety speak.
mircea_popescu: binaryatrocity it's not
that simple.
that's just a symptom. keybase is bad because is made by
the enemy,
to suit
the agenda of
the enemy.
the compromise key is just a symptom of
this fundamental allignment with evil.
binaryatrocity: Yes, yes I understand
that keybase is bad because
they allow
the option for users
to compromise
their own private keys
mircea_popescu: ascii_field you know more poor people buy status symbol items on credit
than rich people buy
them cash ?
ascii_field: my office window faces a parking lot.
there is a 'welfar' office nearly. a couple just parked, carrying out a cradle with a kid.
they parked... a brand new 'jaguar'.
binaryatrocity: but again i see your point, signing messages
to my GIST or
Twitter is still relevant without Keybase displaying it.
binaryatrocity: It stores
the associations in a 'familiar' and accessible manner
jurov: binaryatrocity: and
then
the private keys of other derps leak, how will you explain "but it's not me" ?
mircea_popescu: binaryatrocity
that's not wqhat it does. what it does is, it allows keybase.io
to PRETEND like
they're relevant, based on your own work.
☟︎ binaryatrocity: Be
that your Name, an associated domain name, or an already-known 'social' account
mircea_popescu: pushing a point, sending an ack
to a
http server is pretty much
the same as sending an ack
to any other
http server.
binaryatrocity: it allows someone who is looking for your public key
to access it, based on information
they may already know about you
jurov: i see "basically
the same functionality"
binaryatrocity: Storing your PUBLIC key on Keybase
to be access by whomever is
the equivalent
to uploading your public key
to
the MIT keyserver
mircea_popescu: this is
the sort of
thing one can't understand from outside.
davout: binaryatrocity: how do you "link your GPG
to your github"?
binaryatrocity: I see your point,
the public-facing info can be useful
though, sure
there might be no real
tangible benefit
to
tying your github
to your gpg key
that you couldn't achieve in a different manner, but it does provide a clean interface
mircea_popescu: but hanging out / using people who do a bad
thing, even if
they're not doing it
to you, is dubious.
binaryatrocity: but handing over your private key is optional, I clearly understand why relinquishing access
to your private key is a bad idea
punkman: binaryatrocity: one, it is/was all javascript,
two, it used
to "backup" your private keys
to
their server
binaryatrocity: Obviously popping your private key into your browser is asking for a bad-time, but in
the same vein as pgp.mit.edu is used, it's basically
teh same functionality?
binaryatrocity: Just looking for some reasoning behind
the hate, feel free
to
tell me I'm an idiot.
binaryatrocity: but I left
the key
to my chastity belt at home, so I'm safe!? :D
mircea_popescu: sorta like hanging out at
the rape club is a-ok because you're only getting drinks anyway.
binaryatrocity: I'm not
trusting
them with my private key, it's just a sane profile
to store
the public and link me
to domains etc i might control?
assbot: Logged on 13-10-2015 14:06:35; asciilifeform: binaryatrocity: and consider moving away from keybase. generate a civilized key on your own hardware, sign it with
the old, and quit sharing private key with
the enemy.
mircea_popescu: "and we'll make medicine work
that way
too because
there can only be one of anything"
mircea_popescu: "oh, we don't have
the continental legal system here - we have an adversarial system" good for you
jurov: iirc
the keyserver will be geared maximally
toward manual process
mircea_popescu: e jury must decide
the fate of
the defendant-patient. And
the FDA--judge simply makes sure everyone is civil. Not accurate, save for outright perjury; just civil."
mircea_popescu: I'm going
to repeat
this because I know people are going
to misunderstand me:
the system
that you want is impossible
to construct in
the framework of modern medicine, if for no other reason
than doctors don't read-- derive no benefit from reading.
The system does not exist, and you cannot create it. Psychiatry is politics; medicine is
the justice system. Pharma are
the opposing lawyers, and doctors are
the jury.
Th
mircea_popescu: a
treatment. It's not all
the doctors' fault; but
that's
the system.
mircea_popescu: "Pharma is
the backbone of medicine, because, unfortuantely, medicine is about
treatment, not prevention. If a doctor recommends exercise, or garlic, or even aspirin, it's a sidenote, and a quaint one. "Oh, my doctor
thinks I should move
to Florida for my asthma!" Meanwhile,
they'll give out
the amoxicillin
to every crying
toddler, even
though
they know
that
that is detrimental. you know why? Because it looks like
kakobrekla: and it is suppose
to be compatible with --send-keys?
kakobrekla: also wasnt
there
the idea of running ba keyserver?
trinque: thestringpuller:
take a heroic dose of a psychedelic alone; works as well as a fight
kakobrekla: i
think
there was a discussion back
then about
this, having it coupled or uncoupled
mircea_popescu: imo
the right play would be
to stop refreshing and move
to a "provide your pubkey in pastebin" model. prhaps even
to be enhanced
to a "ask someone in wot
to sign your pubkey and give it
to assbot" later.
too soon for
that imo.
assbot: Logged on 13-10-2015 02:56:15; mircea_popescu: phf i doubt assbot actually updates
them. it might also not look at expirations, i dunno how kakobrekla did it, maybe he weighs in.
mircea_popescu: all neurosis works
the same way,
the subject replaces
the
thing as is with a construct in his own head.
mircea_popescu: the ancient
theory on consumptive masturbation was
that monsters are a figment of
the imagination, and so
the practical cure was
to expose
the young man
to ACTUAL, ie, anatomically accurate depictions of
the other gender. what
today we'd call porn.
mircea_popescu: with any luck you'll be cured before you lose your 2nd
tooth.
mircea_popescu: for young males with anxiety "disorders"
the only workable solution is
to get into a lot of fights.
thestringpuller: for people with anxiety disorders: what works for you other
than drugz?
☟︎ binaryatrocity: which links
to a waybackmachine of cascadianhacker.com, which references gribble auth
binaryatrocity: yes but I cannot yet voice myself, and
the "requirements
to be in Assbots WoT can be found <here>" link goes
to
the homepage
binaryatrocity: I... have a personal site,
that may look like a blog. But it is lacking in any blog-like content.
assbot: Logged on 13-10-2015 03:47:10; mircea_popescu: i have never, ever, in my fucking life been in a situation where pumping dried out
the woman. how
the fuck does
this work even ?
punkman: BingoBoingo: If
there was a single cannon
the idiots could
take it << no no
the cannon
takes
the idiots, unless I'm out of powder
mircea_popescu: and concentrate
that
time, and
then get
the hell out of
the way."
mircea_popescu: "I have a surprising piece of advice for parents, which I hope will be
taken in
the spirit it is offered: your kid doesn't want
to be around you
that much. No one does.
This isn't because you're a bad person but because you're an ordinary person. You are not such a unique, creative, intelligent or even interesting person
that
the kid benefits from constant exposure
to you. When you have something
to offer, maximize
phf: a common acquaintance once said
that she sometimes flips
through
tv channels while having sex with her boyfriend
mircea_popescu: i've seen
the
thing where after a bout of sustained fucking her cunt would leak of its own volition for another fucking hour, yes. but what is
this sandy bitch bs.
mircea_popescu: i have never, ever, in my fucking life been in a situation where pumping dried out
the woman. how
the fuck does
this work even ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: y,
that one more condom wouldn't make
the necessary difference."
mircea_popescu: "I met
the woman at a Broadway show, but
the night's best piece of acting, I'd say, came from me, back at her East Village apartment, after we'd been having sex for about 25 minutes, with Neil Young wailing
the song "Comes a
Time" from
the laptop on her bedside
table.
The dried-out condom had a full-bodied choke hold on me, but I'd already stopped
twice
to put on a fresh one, and I knew, as I kept earnestly pumping awa

their carpace,
they lose water.
mircea_popescu: thjat's why borax gets

☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: cockroaches are pretty interesting as far as
that goes. for instance : did you know
that
the entire fucking genus, which is immnse, strictly depends on
there not being abrasive surfaces ?
mircea_popescu: anyway,
that's
the cultural antrhopologist standing story an' im sticking by it : speech is interesting because it provides permanence in a very improbable setting.
mircea_popescu is well gratefull
to be dead long before he'd reach
the end of anything.
mircea_popescu: it'd
then be
the case
that sooner or larter we;'d have
to do everything. EVERYTHING.
