mircea_popescu: in ~principle~ the fact i can'
t compile the kernel with any random compiler i wrote myself is an argument that linux = windows, ftr.
mircea_popescu: gadfly the fucktard ointment, by taking their stories and taking them apart, adding details they don'
t wish circulated, stuff like that.
punkman: all that money and they can'
t put a fucking volume slider on their audio player
BingoBoingo: PeterL: Brokered convention? Could be very interesting. I won'
t pledge to bet it without seeing the form it takes
assbot: Logged on 16-10-2015 15:12:55; mircea_popescu: aka, pay for all our sins, as we can'
t afford to do it. and so you get godfathers, and get to enjoy the movie. that's his role in the community : that he pays your blodgelt for you.
mircea_popescu: these delusioanl urchins are so used to seeing themselves as a sort of neo-in-matrix that it just doesn'
t compute.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: anyway, get his guy stuff from library, if can'
t be web'd (i spent a little trying to dig that one up).
mircea_popescu: jurov doesn'
t have to be invented in crypto to be fundamental for crypto
mircea_popescu: similarly with the key. so large key can'
t be sent over the wire. bwahahahaha mkay.
mircea_popescu: i for instance had never read it / wouldn'
t care to now.
mircea_popescu: so as you can no doubt follow, asciilifeform from the political considerations discussed it follows that while i don'
t allow for the possibility of "quantum computer", i don'
t disallow your implementing a scheme which would be deemed (by idiots) as "quantum resistant".
mircea_popescu: well kinda what i mean by doesn'
t work : "works for some values of work"
mircea_popescu: re other thread : the only point of interest in lattice stuff would be homomorphisms. which don'
t work yet.
mircea_popescu: exact equivalent of the anabolic/catabolic processes in the human body. if there aren'
t people falling over in the street out of sheer hunger as an unremarkable phenomenon, there's no industrialization afoot. if there aren'
t any "self-betterment" dudes moving about, there's no dezindustrialization occurring.
mircea_popescu: fucking bullshit omfg. i am not PRETENDING the problem doesn'
t exist. the problem does factually not exist.
mircea_popescu: "It isn'
t easy to build a large general-purpose quantum computer, but many people publicly working on it seem to think that they'll be successful next decade. Maybe there will be serious obstacles that slow down or stop this success, but there's clearly a serious risk to RSA and ECC, and it isn'
t sensible risk management to pretend that the problem doesn'
t exist."
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform everything can still be done. the poiint is that a hole large enough to fit the earlier blocks will result in a hole too large today, that'd admit things that won'
t get mined.
mircea_popescu: "A class-action lawsuit alleges the state Department of Environmental Quality didn'
t treat the water for corrosion, in accordance with federal law, and because so many service lines to Flint are made of lead, the noxious element leached into the water of the city's homes."
diana_coman: fwiw the google thing looked all right to me re features, but I wasn'
t too sure re who made it, lol
mod6: i wasn'
t too clued on C++ testing frameworks. but mockito is pretty helpful with stuff, so something similar in C++ space would be nice.
mod6: what if there was a different mock framework that wasn'
t mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i don'
t understand this, so flint been using lead pipes like... all places ever. what is the issue ?

T Shaw: "To demand a single route to the truth is to prejudice against truths that may not be so conform to that path. This is the essence of what is wrong with what Bruce advocates, which is the same old tired argument we have heard for ages."
mircea_popescu: 1998-10-27 Douglas A. Gwyn: "The 'empirical proof' means very little since it can'
t allow for the eavesdropper's cryptanalytic abilities."
adlai: mircea_popescu: i hope you didn'
t let that feeling show!
mircea_popescu: adlai i haven'
t, but i had people do it, and felt sorry for them.

t do this often eh
pete_d_out: on the topic of the lordship list, can someone please tell me what 'fief' mats is fighting for ? pogo distribution ? pgp server thing he started then quit ? other things ? i'm genuinely curious. he doesn'
t contribute ~that~ much to the debates here that i can see, though he's certainly not invisible, but most of what i glean from his commentary is along the lines of "windows isn'
t so bad u guise", which, i guess, is what it is. anyways,

t understand why they keep getting women pregnant

pete_d_out: kakobrekla razr isn'
t a great hammer, admittedly
pete_d_out: actually working a "news" piece that i'd give to qntra but i... don'
t have my keys. so to contravex it goes.
mircea_popescu: 1998-10-30 Douglas A. Gwyn: "...I can exhibit the design for a block cipher that is demonstrably secure according to the rules of the game, although it wouldn'
t be *practical*." << you should write to him, too.
mircea_popescu: strong.' Why? Because we *can'
t* know how strong our ciphers *really* are to the other guy. But we *can* -- guaranteed -- make The Opponent pay dearly to keep up.""

T Shaw: "In Bruce's work, there are sinful omissions and comissions, but the subject is so large that this would always be a surity in some form. To judge his character, we will see if he mentions in the future any things he has previously ignored and have been pointed out directly to him." << no. as confirmed throughout and including 18 years later.

mircea_popescu: just as long as this a) doesn'
t invalidate assumptions required by one in a way operator couldn'
t verify and b) they are actually independent, as opposed to "i thought they were"
mircea_popescu: i wouldn'
t per se object to girl wearing "lightsaber armorer" cocktail dress, if that's the fashion, as long as it grabs her tits and waist right etc.
BingoBoingo: PeterL: Maybe It's just getting late. My troll/humor doesn'
t seem to be calibrated right.
BingoBoingo: Ah. I guess a point could be made that if Obama's Hope and Change didn'
t fix the problem Bernie's isn'
t likely to either.
BingoBoingo: PeterL: It mentioned the Bern, just kinda assumed it was. Didn'
t read too closely.
BingoBoingo: As long as the email hasn'
