mats: also auditing some mit security courses but
the instructors don't seem
to have
time for me
mats: I'm an anticipating an offer from a boston private univ with a number of decent security researchers so I will be hounding
them given
the opportunity
pete_dushenski: "An Uberized education is when --as in antiquity -- one goes
to a specific
teacher
to get lectures, bypassing
the university.
The students and
the
teachers are
thus matched. If a piece of paper is necessary, it would be given by *that*
teacher, or a group of
teachers. It is not
too different from
the decentralized apprentice model." -herr

pete_dushenski: if you can afford
the
time off, i doubt a year of autodidacticism would be wasted.
mats: the smart play would be
to
take
the next year off and study, produce projects, but it is hard
to gauge how my competency will advance in
that
time
mats: so I'm fighting several battles on different fronts, lots of 17 hour days for
the foreseeable future
mats: what I'd like
to be doing a year from now would be entry level appsec work
mats: I

two months ago

pete_dushenski: 'folks who had
their rates go
through
the roof from chronically getting into wrecks '
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> at one point
there was a notion of selling insurance per-mile << I've got a letter offering
to switch
to
this if had "onstar" or OBDII dongle
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: hehe, presumably via "As
to
the second point,
that America > Europe because
the former is in any way free of its own rent-seeking mandarin class,
to quote an alf, look no further
than USGavin, Paul Graham, Blablalawsky and
their continued ability
to buy groceries and pay rent."
BingoBoingo: But
this seems more like a
thing
to
turn reliable NORP customers into penal customers
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I
thought it was scam
they used
to keep Normal Ordinary Responsible People paying instead of switching insurers
pete_dushenski: then again, i say
this as someone who wouldn't drive a car at all if i could only afford
to drive a
tracking beacon
pete_dushenski: even if it were popular,
that'd only put it in
the facebook camp of 'retarded
things lots of americans do because
they're very nearly
too stupid
to breath and most definitely
too stupid
to know when
they're being raped.'
mats: there are other car insurers who offer
the device and will lower your rates if you drive predictably and safely
mats: its a popular
thing
assbot: Logged on 07-09-2015 04:11:39; asciilifeform: and for
the predictable game of hopscotch
through various 'voluntary', 'voluntary-compulsory', finally compulsory belt-tightenings
pete_dushenski: goddam
that hellhole. no different
than asciilifeform's 'voluntary a/c
turnoff'.
pete_dushenski: "The idea is
to understand how people drive in
the city"The program will also collect data on when a driver breaks hard or makes a sharp, fast
turn.
The idea, according
to
the New York Department of
Transportation, is
to understand how people drive in
the city, in
the hopes of solving
traffic problems including NYC's famous gridlock."
pete_dushenski: "Starting last month, New York City began
tracking about 400 people's driving habits, including how much gas
they use, when
they drive, where
they are, and how fast
their cars go.
The program, called "Drive Smart," promises drivers discounts of up
to 30 percent on
their Allstate auto insurance, as well as "incentive rewards valued at $25," according
to
the program website.
thestringpuller: 17:44 <
Tiraspol> when are my bitcoins gonna cost 1000$ each again
thestringpuller: 16:42 <@hearn>
that's just a normal home connection, not even
the fastest available
thestringpuller: 16:42 <@hearn> who said
they had
to? i don't have a dedicated connection. got 25 mbit/sec upstream
trinque: I will certainly indicate on
the site
that joining
the WoT is
the next move if you want
to use it.
mircea_popescu: and
then when
they cave and get in
the wot, negrating
them, of course.
mircea_popescu: up
to and including surrounding holdsouts houses with monkeys in combat armor, killing
their wives and bitches in no particular order and
then impersonating
them over
the loudspeaker.
trinque: indeed; I'll put something on it
to point
the way in
mircea_popescu: trinque
the requirement for people
to be in
the wot
to use it ain't never going away. but
the pressure
to actually get in said wot is ever mounting.
mircea_popescu: 29F5BC967632415AB9836DB63E452A7A2A00DEC1 << i misreads
that
trinque: it has
the address
to which spent, but I can add
the other at
the
top
there
BingoBoingo: trinque: Also
the site prolly needs
the deedbot funding address on it
trinque: mircea_popescu: it is sha256 of
the bundle's deed joined by \n - which is used as a private key - from which
the pubkey and address are produced
mircea_popescu: and
to use
the most apropriate expression for
this, which happens
to be in romanian, "atita le si
trebe'"
mircea_popescu: other direction ? you kidding man, not shot as much as a bb round
this way.
mircea_popescu: trinque incidentally, re midnightmagic's question, i don't recall
the format. was it
the deeds get concatenated with \n as aseparator, sha512'd and
that's
the pubkey for
the spend ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
that "cops shot white people so it's not a crime"
thing, re katrina.
mircea_popescu: this may be
the most outrageous perversion of justice yet.
mircea_popescu: "Perricone’s and later First United States Attorney and Chief of
the Office’s Criminal Division Jan Mann’s identities were uncovered by forensic comparison of
their characteristic writing styles in
the online comments and in court filings.
The forensic expert in question had previously assisted
the FBI in identifying
the Unabomber."
BingoBoingo: Microshit is basically a Shrem,
they signed
the papers
BingoBoingo: To be fair pete_dushenski Microsoft probably doesn't even know what
they are ordered
to put into patches anymore
pete_dushenski: i also read
that microshit will no longer be detailing what's in its patches. just
trust ! (tm)
☟︎ mircea_popescu: so
that if no one is
talented
this crop we appoint one
to
tbe "most likely
to be
talented" ?
