But over time, Vincenzetti's view evidently evolved to allow the security professional to found Hacking Team. "
ag3nt_zer0: Wonder if anyone can help ... Am I missing a step when trying to rate somebody? do I have to do something beyond "!rate" command? I ask because I do not see my rating as having appeared to the recipients via BTC Alpha... should I see it or is my rating just not appearing amongst the others because I am not a trusted relationship at this point?
Luke-Jr: decimation: no, it is to the users - Bitcoin Core 0.8.0 changed the rules, but was not adopted as the new protocol, so it was wrong
Luke-Jr: decimation: because people might interpret it as a spec
decimation: Luke-Jr: this whole line of action strikes me as backwards. why not produce a spec before forcing changes from the de-facto standard?
trinque: though, as it stays out of the goddamn way of the task of programming, I could see never tiring of it
decimation: as has been quite aptly demonstrated
decimation: 'suddenly invalid'? as if nature itself rejected it?
trinque: it's just as well.
decimation: "These families—by law—may not have a father. Therefore, 15 years from that Wal-Mart going up, you will have a full generation of violent, rootless, fatherless youth grown up with no sense of community, responsibility, or decency, who will instead be infused with a sense of entitlement, righteous oppression, and slave class envy for you, the guy buying the house down the street as its value plummets.

ascii_field: trinque: perhaps meta-nsa doesn't need the libjpeg 0day, given as we'll confess in the coke machine anyway
trinque: impostors posing as human beings everywhere
assbot: Logged on 18-02-2015 16:36:33; mircea_popescu: it's not so much a "i want those guys back" as it is "i want the situaiton where being 20 and into computers was more distinctive than any other thing - and you could spot a govt mole from a mile away"
trinque: ascii_field: heh some of this we did at a previous job as "parental controls" software
ascii_field: but the n00bs-get-ddosed turd still stinks. no matter how dresses as sausage
mircea_popescu: and especially nonsensical given that there's an exactly just as silly, but opposite direction social convention : people going around with a prosthetic leg are apparently GREAT!11 ☟︎
mircea_popescu: as it mostly scales with age.
mircea_popescu: as best anyone knows, kid moved on.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field i have no idea what sort of an argument is this. there's no such thing as good or bad entropy. the thing is unqualifiable by definition. do you mean that you'd have to wait longer to generate a strong address? so you would.
ascii_field: Xiaomi Router sells 7620-based routers for ~25-35 usd, with usb jacks (but 128m ram, as pogo)
assbot: Bitcoin price rallies sharply as robust transaction fee market develops proving the naysayers were wrong. : Bitcoin ... ( http://bit.ly/1Cva2Q0 )
ascii_field: were sympathetic to the idea. but nothing came of it, as nothing could have
ascii_field: trinque: important to remember that these folks are just as powerless to do constructive things as they are to do serious damage
thestringpuller: I always wondered about archiving the most idiotic of the reddit comments on bitcoin somewhere as entertainment
thestringpuller: nigga, hate fuels MPOE stock prices. we'll probably be able to trade hate as a currency soon with all the butthurt.
thestringpuller: https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/3cs3q8/bitcoin_price_rallies_sharply_as_robust/ << cazalla BingoBoingo massive lulz and butthurt

BingoBoingo: So stator with experimental minrelaytxfee option patch was syncing well as a drop in replacement for previous stator on testbed then laptop became unplugged and battery dead. Restarted with -rescan because BDB hates stopping suddenly and the blockindex is screwed.
fluffypony: I read that as Googlebox
asciilifeform: ^ as described here
decimation: http://gpsworld.com/next-gen-gps-ground-control-system-in-question/ "A March 2013 report from the Government Accountability Office (GAO) seems to claim that the projected cost of the next-generation GPS ground-control system, known as OCX, increased by 43 percent, or $1 billion over the past year, to a total cost estimate of $3.7 billion."
asciilifeform: anybody's guess whether gps will decay from sat attrition (as glonas did in the 'roarin' 90s' ru) before usa implodes, civilian aviation on its territory Officially ends, and public freebie is turned off
Vexual: for sport as ascii said
asciilifeform: other thing re: gps is that there is ~still~ an encrypted band (as of a few yrs ago, ~two~ separate ones)
decimation: ^ attempts to correct for the ionoshere messing with the gps frequency band as it goes through
asciilifeform: 'The talk concludes with a first-hand description of Project GREAT, perhaps the ultimate DIY clock experiment. Van Baak methodically selected three of his best portable cesium clocks, outfitted the family minivan (with his wife's permission) as a traveling time laboratory, and drove with his three children up the highest mountain in Washington State. After staying on Mt. Rainier for a long weekend they returned home to compare
asciilifeform: that list oughta contain ~all~ the 4294967297 folk (see old log as to why)
decimation: http://www.mti-milliren.com/ocxo_260_ocxo.html < this ocxo is as good as rubidium in terms of thermal stability
asciilifeform: this is not seriously important in this case, but it follows 'unix philosophy' in the sense that a proggy returning false lets you use its failure as part of a shell script
mod6: anyway, that link is a bit old as it describes the directories as: bitcoin-bitcoin-a8def6b
asciilifeform: it would mean, if there is nothing peculiarly tight-lipped about mircea_popescucoind's logging mechanism, that no one has so much as tried throwing the recent blocks at it
mats: er, as of that date, afaik
mats: so, interestingly, one 'Vitaliy Toropov' appears to be a current employee of ZDI (as of 29Apr2015) and... appears to have sold exploits to HT
SuchWow: the community has shrunk almost as exponentially as it grew over the last year
ben_vulpes: but it's not so much the brain as the necessity of linearization of memory for things that travel along a 3-brane
ben_vulpes: <BingoBoingo> As far as I can tell time does not exist other than as a projection perpetrated by the brain << hear hear
assbot: Treat dust outputs as non-standard, un-hardcode TX_FEE constants by gavinandresen · Pull Request #2577 · bitcoin/bitcoin · GitHub ... ( http://bit.ly/1INtRTZ )
ben_vulpes: <asciilifeform> i want every token << you probably want the serialization insanity as well

asciilifeform: ;;later tell BingoBoingo the min fee thing isn't, as far as i can tell, in therealbitcoin. interested in writing a patch ?
trinque: as for now, I made curl and gpg kiss via the shell (quoted of course)
asciilifeform: sed by other U.S. and foreign government agencies. Apart from their evident utility as frequency standards in laboratories engaged in research in that field, or responsible for the maintenance and transmission of standard frequency and time signals, there was at first no well-established application for these instruments. '
asciilifeform: i imagine this was done for similar reasons as for gcc.
asciilifeform: incidentally, he's - as fas as i can tell - an actual person and probably would belong here.
pete_dushenski: or venice, as the case may be.
trinque: pete_dushenski: god.. the "fair market" is ripe for use as a propaganda term on their end
pete_dushenski: "Overall, the fact that the rise of top incomes has been much greater in certain sectors, such as finance, and among senior executives is more consistent with a pattern of rent (excess earnings relative to market-determined earnings) creation and extraction specific to those sectors than with a competitive market for skills." << because "market" is now synonymous with "fair". donchaknow.
asciilifeform: from thread on www: '"8^>) I'll stop by as soon as I push back some alligators.'
pete_dushenski: decimation i continue to confuse the bsd's... for the edgerouter, i used freebsd as well !
decimation: as if the vast collection of trailer parks 'downstate' makes up for the $mil condos in arlington
decimation: "The RPPs are calculated using price quotes for a wide array of items from the CPI, which are aggregated into broader expenditure categories (such as food, transportation, or education)1. Data on rents are obtained separately from the Census Bureau's American Community Survey (ACS). The expenditure weights for each category are constructed using CPI expenditure weights, BEA's Personal Consumption Expenditures, and ACS rents expenditur
asciilifeform: as designed by korolev.
asciilifeform: it means 'business as usual', no gassings
mircea_popescu: if it makes you feel; any better, this is a traditional problem of teaching as practiced since that bismarck's invention of the "school"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform two words from a pile of paper you yourself regard as disinfo ?
ag3nt_zer0: trinque: yes but these ridiculously reductionist tolerance ideas put into the heads of idiots just amounts to, as MP says something about in a blurb about professionalism on trilema, amateurs playing the racist card or what not... any number of limp-dicked excuses and diversions from what should be the teacher's right to maintain a fucking orderly environment
assbot: Logged on 09-07-2015 09:58:31; punkman: "Berlusconi, 78, will not have to serve the sentence as the statute of limitations expires later this year, well before a final ruling will have been reached on appeal."
trinque: ag3nt_zer0: that reduces to "you should, as the teacher, be in charge of the fucking room."
mircea_popescu: ag3nt_zer0 let's put it this way : you couldn't as a middle class woman marry some douche who didn't speak multiple languages. because your parents wouldn't let you.
asciilifeform: as in, exact same behaviour
asciilifeform: sometimes the 'construct future with past' thing gets taken up and run ragged, though. as in the case of 'square the circle with ruler and compass' problem that drove folks batshit until 19th c even.
mircea_popescu: funkenstein_ such as in sattelites and missiles ?
asciilifeform: such as the bacteria that eventually eat everybody's girlfriend
asciilifeform: there very much ~is~ such a thing as 'stupid and effective'
mircea_popescu: it is drastically unwise to imagine a certificate of intelligence as a sort of consolation prize.
asciilifeform: why the fuck does 'as much has as possible' have to be packed in one die ?
asciilifeform: life of miner is a life of a soldier, disposable, as mircea_popescu reminded us last night
asciilifeform: (as discussed in 2013 here)
asciilifeform: which is 100% of what is presently sold as 'btcasic'
mircea_popescu: and why not ceres ? she's just as big!
mircea_popescu: this is traditonally pointed out to the shy young male as "you know, even the lady of your heart farts"
asciilifeform: which is the item mircea_popescu is describing as not existing? and which - not ?
mircea_popescu: inasmuch as they both exist, they both exist. inasmuch as the one you're good at doesn't exist, you're basically wanking.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: my contention was that you describe will as a spectrum, perhaps between 'spineless clerk' and 'napoleon'
mircea_popescu: in any case, weren't you bravely accusing ME of viewing things as scalars ?
mircea_popescu: problem is they're dumb as rocks, is all.
asciilifeform: may as well suggest atomic
mircea_popescu: like humans, actually. either die as a youthful ape, or else get cancer, or else... age 150
