BingoBoingo: decimation: He would give a fuck. I have
to imagine one hunts lions in part for
the danger.
punkman: he should practice his archery on
those protestors outside his office
☟︎ BingoBoingo: punkman: Far more badass
than my dentist brother.
BingoBoingo: I actually didn't know he used a bow until minutes ago. I
thought he would have used one of
those exotic African calibers .300-.460 with a name attached like Weatherby or
Tyranosaurus. I am impressed.
decimation: eh,
the anti-gunners know
they can stir up some shit with
this kind of story
BingoBoingo: Also note Reuters includes
that
the dentist used a bow and arrow.
punkman: "One of
the first
things I did after installing OpenBSD back in
the day was set up a 6bone
tunnel and ping6 all
three other IPv6 sites out
there. I was living in
the future. Fifteen years later, and well... Fuck IPv6."
decimation: it looks
to me
that
they are whining about
tor because it makes
their job harder
decimation: wtf how is
that proof of anything re:
tor?
coderwill: asciilifeform: sorry, i don't understand
this last point - linked in ssl?
assbot: Logged on 04-10-2013 15:21:32; mircea_popescu: i'm with asciilifeform's suggestion :
that pps is prima facie evidence
that
the nsa is in fact currently decoding ALL
traffic passing
through all
tor nodes, linking it
to originating ips and storing
this mess.
decimation: the only way
to know is
to read
the code; build for self
BingoBoingo: Tails probably fails
to deliver what it promises
coderwill: mats: do you mean
that as an insinuation
that
tails is not what it claims
to be?
coderwill: mats: you mentioned snowden shilling for
tails
decimation: "wouldn't you really like
to go
to syria?"
decimation: yes, but
the problem
today seems
to be sorting signal from noise
decimation: although somehow many of
the
the 'damned memories' are still known
today
decimation: certainly usg is gonna
throw
the book at snowden - how could anyone in
the civil service have sympathy?
decimation: certainly. what is your position on mr. oleg of
the kgb?
decimation: they might have been heros
to
the allies, if
they hadn't failed
decimation: now, I do
think usg has a real problem with its 'secret services' running amock, making a mess of
things, and generally being completely untransparent
to anybody
☟︎ decimation: is real position seems
to be
that usg shouldn't spy on anyone, even foriegners
BingoBoingo: I dunno how anyone could
trust Greenwald after Citizenfour unless
they have some liberal switch in
their head which gets
tripped when
they see his Brazilian boyfriend
decimation: which seems
to be based on "he only released some
tech stuff"
BingoBoingo: Edward Snowden in CitizenFour seemed legit
though... derpy
decimation: I do see how all
the noise and confusion benefits usg's enemies
decimation: aside from
the metadata stuff,
the evidence
that
there's domestic spying going on seems pretty
thin
BingoBoingo: decimation: I lean
towards Snowden being a derpy redditor with an opportunity who happened
to steal
the powerpoints because... reddit
decimation: he might have had a pretty good case (that he was a whistleblower) if all he released was
the verizon court order for all
the metadata
trinque: he can be oblivious and serve
the same purpose.
mats: I have no dramatic
theories as
to wut is going on (like alf) but I do not care at all about what he has
to say
decimation: I don't buy into
this conspiracy
theory stuff. a much more consistant
theory is
that he didn't know wtf he was
talking about
mats: next
thing ya know he's gonna be
telling folks
to use 'TextSecure' and 'RedPhone'
mats: it is suspicious
that he shills projects like
tails also
decimation: mats: I
think you are right about snowden by
the way
BingoBoingo: I mean
the connection mean I've basically self doxxed, but my slave name may actually be a less common string
than
the IRC nick.
coderwill: Ah,
thanks for
the background -
that's really interesting. I myself am
thinking about a new project, and was wondering if in
this day and age it is a disadvantage
to attach a real-life identify
to
the Internet.
☟︎ BingoBoingo: But my slave name is on
the Qntra MPEx contract for
the curious.
BingoBoingo: coderwill: I came
this channel all cautious like because I was afraid of making a fool out of myself. Eventually I had used
this nick long enough I identify as
this more
than I do as my USG imposed slave name.
coderwill: BingoBoingo: Not
to change
the
topic, but have been wondering something, if you don't mind me asking - do you write under your alias as opposed
to a real name for any particular reason?
BingoBoingo: coderwill: Probably
the same way
they always have, menu adjustments.
coderwill: It will be interesting
to see if food shortages are bearish for McDonald's in
the long run. OTOH, I wonder how much of
the menu is actually subject
to food shortages.
BingoBoingo: Well,
they will probably keep humans at
the cash register
to provide a surface for customers
to direct anger at.
☟︎☟︎ BingoBoingo: At
the point where USG decides franchisee employees are actually McDonalds employees... coke machine
BingoBoingo: So long as McDonalds has few corporate stores
they have
to staff and having staff at all is largely a franchisee problem McDonalds will automate for consistency (i.e. robogrill) instead of doing so
to purely reduce labor.
☟︎ BingoBoingo: <decimation> mcdonalds 'provides good jobs' << Nah jobs are
the franchinsee's problem
decimation: where do
they dig
this shit up? meanwhile actual shit happens in usg all around washington - not important?
assbot: Yes, my
teenage son is
transgender. No, you may not ask about his genitals. -
The Washington Post ... (
http://bit.ly/1I60ACb )
BingoBoingo: decimation: I doubt it.
The steps where humans are involved are
the ones where X has
to be moved
to Y. Ones where
the chromosonally retarded can perform adequate error checking. Perhaps
the right machines exist in some bunker, or it isn't economical
to produce
them
though
they have been developed.
decimation: BingoBoingo: and
those machines don't exist because mcdonald's would face a shitstorm if it went 'full coke machine'
BingoBoingo: <decimation> so
they are stuck with humans who pretend
to know how
to make coffee << Just like McDonalds where every aspect of food preparation is automated except for parts where
the necessary machines don't yet exist.
assbot: Logged on 19-07-2015 19:45:47; asciilifeform: payload (incl.
the signature) is in
the crypted blob
assbot: Logged on 16-12-2014 01:40:04; asciilifeform: what follows is
the payload, divided into K gibblets, each below udp mtu in size, each signed with ephemeral key.
the gibblets are coded using fountain code (e.g. 'raptor') and you need N of K - in any order -
to reassemble.
decimation: so
they are stuck with humans who pretend
to know how
to make coffee
decimation: greenspun
thinks
that if starbucks went 'full coke machine' and got rid of
the employees,
they wouldn't be able
to charge
the rates
they do, because 'not hand crafted'
decimation: all
the 'barista' does is hit
the button
decimation: asciilifeform: I don't know if you have been
to a starbucks recently, but
they converted over
to 'fully automatic' espresso machines - with milk dispenser!
trinque: otherwise pretty impressive
that
the diff between
the
two binaries was so small
shinohai: I jokingly said
that perhaps he and Edward Snowden were gay lovers on reddit once, and almost got
tarred and feathered.
