mircea_popescu: nubbins` you certainly can't because it being an equity
thing, it impacts
the patrimony of unknown shareholders.
trinque: anton_osika: it's not
that much money; you're just young. and mistakes you make in youth
that you survive will remind you later never again
to be so foolish.
mircea_popescu: no key = 1760 negro. not only no rights, but no human identity at all. st peter doesn't even keep
track of yotur sins. you're like
the beasts of
the plains.
nubbins`: anton_osika i could prove beyond a reasonable doubt
that i am who i say i am, and everyone in here would be convinced, but i'm still not executing
that SSW without a key
anton_osika: mircea_popescu:
That is one lesson learned, from all
this agony.
mircea_popescu: anton_osika really, figure out how
to keep a safe key. it's not
that hard, and it IS
the only actual underpinning of humanity
these days.
nubbins`: anton_osika plenty have lost
their keys.
they all weep
together now.
nubbins`: i've always found black-bg websites a nightmare
to read
nubbins`: mircea_popescu
that's a succinct explanation
mircea_popescu: (ie, if
the whole screen is white,
the iris adapts and filters it down. if
the screen is black, iris can not do
that, you end up burning retina)
anton_osika: But I feel
that I am no
the only one
that lost ones identity -little owing
to ones own mistakes. And
this community has honesty in honouring contracts in Good Faith.
mircea_popescu: it'd seem
the lower power
the better, but not so. because
the
tiny white specs are
too shiny otherwise.
mircea_popescu: somehow
this is
true if counterintuitive. black on white is better for eyes
than white on black.
trinque: mod6:
thought I'd make your eyes bleed a little less
assbot: Logged on 13-09-2015 19:40:07; nubbins`: it's not uncommon for serious cyclists (touring 100km+, racing, etc)
to purchase high quality steel frames
that were made 20+ years ago
trinque: anton_osika: supposedly gox "owes me" several btc
to
this day. and guess what,
there's even a "legal system" invovled with
that case. what do you
think my odds are on receiving
the btc back?
mircea_popescu: because it means he has some black ancestry over
there.
mircea_popescu: the fact
that
they're actually pretty similar is probably more insulting
to
the arab
than
to
the american.
nubbins`: also, both
their sweaty foreheads shine under harsh light
nubbins`: i made ~10btc off just-dice
too
mircea_popescu: heck, i made like 5 btc with
that "biggest fish" flash game
mircea_popescu: trinque i actually won, and it was imo a worse outcome. i nigh on ended up believing in
the shit.
mircea_popescu: i feel bad for him cuz unlike an entire horde of
twerps, he actually executed.
trinque: I lost far more
than 700 bucks in
the stock market at
that age
nubbins`: but
there is literally nothing you can do about it without
that key. full stop.
nubbins`: anton_osika please understand
that none of
this is malicious, and at least some people here probably feel bad for you
trinque: anton_osika:
the lesson here is worth far more
than a student's 600-700 bucks
mircea_popescu: "The implications are obviously enormous here. After going
through
this
thread and being somewhat convinced, I picked a few photos (widely available from a google image search) and did my own (very basic) comparisons."
nubbins`: nevermind
that it doesn't have your photo and it's just a sheet of paper run
thru a laser printer anyway.
nubbins`: you're
trying
to cross an international border using a high school diploma as photo ID.
nubbins`: as you are not in
the correct place
nubbins`: because if you wouldn't like
that, you should probably gtfo
nubbins`: or would you like for contracts signed with your pgp key
to only be resolved via
that same key?
nubbins`: would you like for
things
to work
this way? really?
nubbins`: i could quite literally come back here in
three weeks with a USA passport bearing my face and your name.
mircea_popescu: actually
the obsolete system standard is "preponderence of evidence". you're
thinking criminal proceedings, and it's "reasonable"
there.
nubbins`: because you can't prove it's you by signing something with
the key.
nubbins`: there is 100% probable doubt
that you are not
the person who signed
the contract last year.
anton_osika: My case is
that in any contract - such as one with a bank - an identity boils down
to what is
tru without any probable doubt.
mircea_popescu: THAT was it's #1
thing, for
they in
the know. "omfg dude it doesn't even needs parans)"
nubbins`: maybe he's on his way
to berlin from syria?
nubbins`: maybe
the real anton is on vacation?
assbot: Logged on 13-09-2015 16:54:14; asciilifeform: e
to attempting
to match
the
TI-89's level of automation.
The fact
that Mathematica, Sage, etc. also will not perform
these simplifications without a 'hint' makes me feel a little better, but
the question remains: How on earth did
the
TI engineers manage
to do
this with literally a
tiny,
tiny fraction of
the computing power a desktop has?'
nubbins`: only one individual
today, sure.
anton_osika: My case is
that
there is only one individual calming
to be me.
nubbins`: anton_osika it's
the same
thing i've been saying all along, just in reverse.
nubbins`: it's an impossible argument
to win.
nubbins`: antonosika here's another
thing: suppose you show us a passport
that says "anton osika" on it. how do we know you,
today, are
the same anton osika from last year?
mircea_popescu: ;;google "heavily counseled parties
to mega mergers do not breach contracts out of inadvertence or mistake"
cazalla: ah shit nubbins` beat me
to it
cazalla: i
think anton_osika actually understands but hopes
to wear mircea_popescu down
mircea_popescu: and in
the space so freed, we have constructed much safer ids.
mircea_popescu: but here, because we are quite specifically dedicated
to
the non survival of
the unfit,
there isn't.
nubbins`: antonosika i
think it's fair
to say
that you understand 100%
that you fucked up and you're just
trying
to "reason" your way into changing
the
terms of
the original
mircea_popescu: anton_osika just, irl, because irl is dedicated
to
the survival of
the least fit, if you lose your id
there's a mechanism
to get another one.
anton_osika: mircea_popescu:
Thats a very valid comparison.
mircea_popescu: try
this sometime, go ask your bank for your money, but refuse
to show id.
anton_osika: If it did in an ordinary contract, it would have
to include an address (which
takes care of
the all probable doubt) :)
trinque: the
tit-punching kid screams and wonders where mother is
to set
things right
nubbins`: i could sire a child
tomorrow and name it anton osika.
nubbins`: how is anyone
to know which john smith?
there must be millions.
assbot: Logged on 12-08-2014 02:19:42;
TimSwanson: Because
that's how normal debates work
nubbins`: suppose
the contract didn't say
nubbins`: trivial example, no idea why i'm
trying
this hard
to explain
things
to you:
anton_osika: I mean,
this is crypto land, but
things are built on common sense not some magical crypto laws right?
anton_osika: nubbins`: What have I been missing regarding GPG contracts
then? :)
mircea_popescu: tyhe contract also states
the word "and". maybne
that's a name.
anton_osika: Before I continue
the venture of my identity
tomorrow: Since
the contract states my name - what is it
that says
that it is not enough as long as it is uniquely identifiable beyond all probable doubts?
mircea_popescu: oh if all
the dead losers could speak. oh if
the wails of
the meanwhile defeated stupid could be heard by
the still living
mircea_popescu: from 20:38:44
to 23:01:58, : [BTCTC] 328 lines ; [HAVELOCK] 11 lines ; [MPEX] absent.
anton_osika: I meant
to say
that I got lucky with how BTC fork worries developed.
nubbins`: i usde
to be godo at splelign.
nubbins`: order book looks condusive
to another bitbet hedge
mircea_popescu: nubbins` hasdn't
traded in
the past month, which is so fucking weird.
trinque: I even dropped out of
the shitty college
to get
those shares
assbot: Things which are alike, in nature, grow
to look alike, and
the speaking stones have lain a long
time lookin' at
the sun.
assbot: You cannot stop
the clouds by
the building of a ship.
