pete_dushenski: or is it in the 'do not share' stash with 0days ?
asciilifeform: this here is that rare bird, the 'five-year plan' that might actually get met.
pete_dushenski: you wouldn't happen to have a copy would you ?
pete_dushenski: ah yes, the famous schedule.
assbot: Logged on 02-09-2015 04:15:38; asciilifeform: the discreditation of local police apparatus, for its eventual demolition and replacement by unified fed gendarmerie, is going on schedule.
pete_dushenski: sorry, this guy http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=16-09-2015#1275921 ☝︎

pete_dushenski: "Doctors believed she was suffering from bipolar disorder, she claims, and tried for days to get Brock to admit she didn't own the luxury car. They also tried to convince Brock that she wasn't really a banker and President Obama didn't really follow her on Twitter, though both facts are true.
pete_dushenski: to get to my car.""
pete_dushenski: "When she arrived at the impound lot and told officials she was looking for her car - a 2003 BMW 325Cl, she knew there was something wrong as soon as she requested her vehicle. "I just felt like from the moment I said I owned a BMW, I was looked at as a liar," Brock told PIX 11. "They put me in handcuffs and said they just need to put me in handcuffs to take me to my car. And I said OK, whatever it's gonna take

BingoBoingo suspects Tanzania is swiftly moving from joke to candidate for hardware #b-a
mod6: asciilifeform: ok, added the link colorization and a graph label
BingoBoingo: Who'da thunk armor beats stealth in the air ☟︎
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Still scary that the A-10 is a superior air-to-air combatant to more expensive newer dedicated platforms
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: 'predator' is mainly an intimidation tool, rather than a weapons system in the usual sense
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> ... << l0l, 'predators' will fly in usg's latvia. <<< But A-10's stationed in Romania. If only the US upgraded its highest performing Air-to-Air platform... the A-10
pete_dushenski: other issues are surmountable, but that usian thing's a prickly thorn
assbot: Logged on 14-08-2015 01:29:19; asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=14-08-2015#1237481 << this is more difficult than mircea_popescu might appreciate. for one thing, i do hardware, where merely the ~fact of~ a usable hole existing is half the secret - once you say, credibly, folks know precisely where to look; the other half of it is that i am in the wot neither of folks buying nor of folks brokering; and the third 'half' is that an
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: see thread: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=14-08-2015#1237556 ☝︎
asciilifeform: (perhaps i am thick, but i don't see how mircea_popescu's solution would work here)
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: even if this schmuck had used bitcoin, and done so correctly, he still could not establish credibility to the buyer without revealing who he was.
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: this ties in to the earlier thread today re: the sale of 0days.
pete_dushenski: what kind of scam is this.
pete_dushenski: this is america, ceos are supposed to be one-percenters!
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Consider we are the bass who swallowed the crankbait. Adversary assumes it is playing us on the line.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> it is abundantly clear who and why << Clear to whom? To the uninitiated it seems qntra posted this on /r/netsec and new audience sees site down assumes small and new qntra
asciilifeform: at this point
asciilifeform: another thing i'm a bit confused about is why a usg-sponsored ddos should ever let up
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Ah, plug pulling was especially useful against phuctor. Qntra and Trilema though have the pipe saturation weakness.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: phuctor had a human plug-puller who is prolly making his way to where trilema lives
mircea_popescu: only right way to do it.
asciilifeform: i suppose there is delay. perhaps i will be shot a decade from now and will have forgotten why !!
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> why would they shoot him now, rather than when he was posting raw snowden2isms ...? << Phuctor is down and they have idle udp to piss somewhere
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> i wonder if this is because i made a comment on cryptome article explaining how one's not to discount the poissibility that the real guy was kidnapped << Would make a lot of sense. I was suspecting because we were mocking Lopp kid in chan again.
asciilifeform: why would they shoot him now, rather than when he was posting raw snowden2isms ...?

assbot: Accuracy Information for the TI-89 Family, TI-92 Family, and Voyage™ 200 Graphing Calculators. - Knowledge Base by Texas Instruments - US and Canada ... ( http://bit.ly/1F1G8EA )
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: phun phakt: you can natively do 1024-bit rsa on the '92.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo anyway, it's a pipe saturation thingee, we see how long can keep it up.
asciilifeform: (every so often, some american 'activism' chick travels to an orc pit and gets drilled out several #s, and it makes the nyooz)
mircea_popescu: even there.
asciilifeform: only when they travel to tahrir square and ask nicely.
BingoBoingo: My god, hwo the fuck could Mayweather's old ass justify making himself the main even in this thing. Rough two of the Gonzales-Oquendo undercard fight was spectacular.
mircea_popescu: but it's never one of those "almost raped" wilty daisies.
asciilifeform: -- 'jump up twenty metres and scatter yourself around.'
mircea_popescu: this "we've released many open source tools" is the new "would you like to read my poetry"
asciilifeform: 'what should you do if a shell lands in your trench?'
BingoBoingo thinks namecoin would still be the best torrent tracker
asciilifeform: What To Do When a Miner Controls Over 51% of Your Blockchain << reminds me of the canonical ww1 joke

assbot: What To Do When a Miner Controls Over 51% of Your Blockchain ... ( http://bit.ly/1OWmTwh )
mircea_popescu: http://blog.onename.com/namecoin-to-bitcoin/ << check it out trinque, lots and lots and LOTS of people wanna be in the deedbot- business now.
mircea_popescu: https://www.reddit.com/r/Buttcoin/comments/3kzsk3/subscriptions_up_400_in_a_certain_censored/ << stolfi stumbles on "reddit makes up random numbers, displays them throughout the site", infers something about some dude he doesn't like.
asciilifeform vaguely recalls mircea_popescu once expressed interest in the notion of a multi-pgp'd blog
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> mircea_popescu: but i was hoping to hear some principle, as in 'we oughtn't give away morsels to strangers except when f(x)=y' << Embrace the machine when y(x)=
mircea_popescu: the stable historical solution seems to be, "ignore them unless one in particular makes you horny. fuck that one."
mircea_popescu: i do not think strangers are worth anything anyway, and i don't think trying to find out how much they're worth is a sane use of resources.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: but i was hoping to hear some principle, as in 'we oughtn't give away morsels to strangers except when f(x)=y'
BingoBoingo: 2, 2 keys to get to the gold functions
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: this is easy, sure
mircea_popescu: so, "why aren't you doing homework ?" "i dun feel like it" "how come you're going out ? i thought you didn't feel like it ?" "now i do."
BingoBoingo: Seriously asciilifeform I am overwhelmed with the awesome. Also how goddamned many 2nd keys???
mircea_popescu: understand, the "public is worthless" argument isn't there to be wielded against me. it's just there for ME exclusively to wield against anyone else.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: and this one has no fewer than ~three~ 'enter' keys. just to make various strokes shorter.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: holy hell that '92' is spiffy. like having 'derive' that boots up in 100 millisec. i forgot how great this felt.
asciilifeform: (but the way i see it, there is some amount of 'us' remaining to be extracted from 'public'. so there is a point.)
asciilifeform: because 'fuck the public' ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: [...] but what i can't see is why operate qntra, trilema, phuctor, etc. if this. << why not ?
BingoBoingo: Popular sentiment here was how does the colored with a terrorist name with the Senate primary
mircea_popescu: and yes, the comment was "mr nobody is prolly slated for something or the other."
assbot: Logged on 15-09-2015 23:56:44; asciilifeform: he was trotted out during a commentary broadcast re: the 2004 election
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=15-09-2015#1275649 << i saw that (after the fact). ☝︎
BingoBoingo: ANd how does Cairo, Illinois get the "abnormally dry" marking on that map. They are practically living in Kevin Costner's "Waterworld"

assbot: StubNuts comments on I just finished setting up my local gun store to take bitcoin. ... ( http://bit.ly/1OWkkKr )
BingoBoingo: Not that the average 'Murican hamplanet could actually use a firearm in conflict with effectiveness ☟︎
BingoBoingo: "if only America was more concerned about gun regulation than Bitcoin regulation." etc
BingoBoingo: Anyways who in the US would by an arm from anyone other than a crack dealer? Gotta tilt counter party risk in your favor if you are going to take it.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: In that thread /r/bitcoin's attitude to arming and the calls for less arms
asciilifeform: shinohai: l0l what's the use, in usa. usg makes them collect names.
assbot: I just finished setting up my local gun store to take bitcoin. : Bitcoin ... ( http://bit.ly/1OWiPft )
BingoBoingo: And /r/bitcoin is totally against citizens arming https://archive.is/fZqp1
shinohai: Doesn't seem worth it to me.
BingoBoingo: Socializing ended there when Pirateat40 ended as far as I can tell, since nothing but blood
shinohai: I don't socialize there, I just lurk and read.
BingoBoingo: shinohai: They did at one point, but Phillipenis and the cost of selling one's soul make it dubious
