asciilifeform did not link it as example of good writing, no.
mircea_popescu: this fucking offensive FOSS/original_wiki brand of "simple clear concise" idiocy is driving me up the wall, today, as the movement's dead just like it was back when the movement was nascent.
asciilifeform: zimmerman, if you recall, sold pgp to hitler, allowing it to become a laughing stock of mystery meat faux crypto, but, as if this were not enough, went on to participate in the multi-coloured phones idiocy
asciilifeform: i've always regarded p as untranslatable

mircea_popescu: and for as long as aml bullshit stands, this will continue unabated.\

mircea_popescu: as if this may ever be a thing.
assbot: Logged on 10-10-2015 03:27:42; pete_dushenski: and there's really no guarantee that the dealership wouldn't surreptitiously "fix" your ride even if you went in for something as innocuous as an oil change.

assbot: Logged on 09-10-2015 01:56:06; asciilifeform: my original observation, though, stands - the time to stop thinking of pgp 64bit fp as 'the man' is not when arbitrarily colliding sha1 costs a penny! it is now.
pete_dushenski: "Construction began in 1987 but was halted in 1992 as North Korea entered a period of economic crisis after the fall of the Soviet Union.

The opening of the hotel has been scheduled several times but postponed." << retardopedia to the rescue.

assbot: Logged on 09-10-2015 11:07:40; punkman: from same thread: "If Collision attacks become viable for SHA-1 fingerprints, then they would probably also become viable for subkeys as well, and it might be possible for an attacker to generate a subkey with a collision for the cross-certifying signature, and be able to graft a false subkey onto a master key with a SHA-1 signature, which would definitely be a key compromise."
pete_dushenski: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=09-10-2015#1295415 << to your credit, i've smacked a lot of kids over the years and exceedingly few have made it so far as to read logs, much less make pgp keys, much less register them, etc. ☝︎
pete_dushenski: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=08-10-2015#1294956 << wonder what 'a few months' means. big difference between 3 and 6 in practical terms, perhaps just as meaningful as the cost. ☝︎

asciilifeform: 'While I focused myself on the technical side of mining and over time found it very difficult to keep up-to-date even with this narrow sub-topic, DaT always seemed capable of following any development in the bitcoin world. Take a look at his essay supporting block-size increase as an example of his contribution.' << mega-l0l

mitch_callahan: i read the logs a few weeks later and it's what cazalla describes as the bitcoin hole I'm guessing
mircea_popescu: next thing you know it runs up 10k% (as it did) and you're left paying pennies to the dollar to your investors, IN SPITE of having done a great job.

mitch_callahan: i remember my step mom would take that ball out as punishment. sucked.
mitch_callahan: on the left, I use the 2 as forward/back
mircea_popescu: and more-moreover, your one-to-manyh permutation will be implemented as a hash fun ction.
mircea_popescu: and moreover, just as bad as hashing.
mircea_popescu: but just as far as the general principle goes. how are you going to do "padding" w/o hashing ?
phf: well, i'm on amtrak, so might as well be
asciilifeform: normally everybody proposes it and then writes it off as 'we haven't the cpu or the entropy'
mircea_popescu: but i am reserved as to the hashlessness
asciilifeform: the other thing is, to the extent that the integrity of the wot as we now have it is predicated on sha1 not costing a penny to break, some of the sweat that went in to forming the wot may end up having to be re-sweated
asciilifeform: my original observation, though, stands - the time to stop thinking of pgp 64bit fp as 'the man' is not when arbitrarily colliding sha1 costs a penny! it is now. ☟︎
asciilifeform: (if you can meet in the flesh, you could exchange one time pads just as well)

jurov: just from my bad memory - it started as joint venture of an underage admin and other person who was supposed to actually pay bills
BingoBoingo: "Rabbits have very strong feelings about the ACW. It's one of the reasons you never see black people with rabbits, as rabbits remain dogmatic supporters of the CSA and slavery to this very day. Your average rabbit is basically a furry Nathan Bedford Forrest."
punkman: jurov, I'm in the same timezone as you
cazalla: she got that wet for trinque that she doubled as an oyster farm

BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> BingoBoingo: i'm not convinced there is any limit as to how many insects satan could send your way, to waste time and energy swatting. << I still swat because I never know which mosquito if not swatted would be the one to pass on Falciparum or West Nile Virus

jurov: http://shop.lenovo.com/us/en/laptops/thinkpad/w-series/w540/ lol "power to handle any taxing software" i understood as "taxation software"
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski im not so sure of the entire moulding thing. i think i met more competent dogs than competent humans in my life, mostly because the bar so much lower for dog. and it's self-moulding really, just as long as you don't get in th way too much.
mike_c: hehe, don't lose that guy's number. I bet a good contractor is almost as hard to find down there as it is up here.
punkman: "Just to drive him a little bit crazy, I took to referring to him as a “short-fingered vulgarian” in the pages of Spy magazine. That was more than a quarter of a century ago. To this day, I receive the occasional envelope from Trump."
assbot: Logged on 07-10-2015 04:35:36; phf: known as блат in russian, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blat_(favors). though that word is more often used in context of getting ahead i think it basically applies to overall structure of society. when shit hits the fan you call a your sister's husband's uncle who's a general, "vasily mikhalich, this is such and such..."
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform as you perhaps intuited, mp's private island is really populated by pirates and harlots.
mircea_popescu: to me this is a good indicator of the subiacent truth : orwell was not really a writer, just masquerading as one.
gabriel_laddel: mircea_popescu: I remember reading it, and at the time I couldn't tell if you were discussing seriously using V as a basis for academics, or just the general notion of having a explicit academic WoT.
mircea_popescu: all models start out as shit.
mircea_popescu: just... god help the army led by an argentine general ; or the country led by an argentine president etc. it'd do about as bad as the usarmy/usa.
BingoBoingo: Also impossible to make a case in a just system for extortion as no one has been threatened afore. In the worst case, if things work right hard to make a case that there was any connection between events at all.
BingoBoingo: phf: This is why I love bars. People have no idea if they know you or not and will talk as if old friends. This isn't favors. This is a nuclear option.

BingoBoingo: <phf> in su we were taught a different strategy, since "having evidence" is top kek, know who to call if things go bad. if you had no one to call, you were shit out of luck << I figure why call? Make arrest as expensive as possible.
