ascii_field: i doubt that we'll see the same 'mirroring' trick re: ssh keys, as it is a creature of the old-fashioned 32-bit fingerprint in pre-civilized pgptron
jurov: catholics have better system. we can do anything as long as we confess with genuine remorse afterwards.
asciilifeform: i, for instance, would much like to publicly register as 'anyone who walks in with my name and slave serial number and tries to take a mortgage, ever, is to be shot immediately' ☟︎☟︎
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=07-06-2015#1156939 << as you can see, it doesn't do anything. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: it is every adolescent boy's dearest dream and hottest hope to misrepresent himself as a shot-caller in company,
decimation: well, 'calling the shots' as in 'appear vaguely threatening on twitter'
decimation: " But they believed the lies. As a result, they now have negligibly greater contributions from ?the oppressed?, but they are losing out on contributions from conservatives?extreme conservatives now, but moderate conservatives later. In the end they will have nothing."
decimation: "However, in this case it is clear to me that your opinions in areas outside your talk are concerning enough for a significantly large number of attendees that those reactions are overshadowing the talk and acting as a distraction for launching the conference as a whole."
pete_dushenski: "A quick historical divergence: it's much more useful to study the 19th Century recessions to see this, as at that point M, money, was determined by the supply of gold. And yes, recessions really were accompanied by significant deflation and also falls in output and no, no one really liked that at all. Which is why this idea that Bitcoin has only a single total amount that will ever be issued is not to the taste
pete_dushenski: ""So, if we increase the money supply then we'll get lots more inflation. This didn't happen, or as I'll point out, did in fact, so obviously those who were crying wolf were wrong"
pete_dushenski: "On Thursday, the US Office of Personnel Management (OPM) confirmed that hackers broke into its servers. A data center in Denver was compromised, we're told, which resulted in the loss of personal information on four million current and former employees; the records could date back as far as 1985."
pete_dushenski: 5 months of fair weather (may-sept) where i can be active as all hell, and then 7 months where i eat carbs and go soft
pete_dushenski: and on the chin-ups-as-a-measure-of-fitness front, i can currently do... 8
mod6: <+ascii_modem> nohup igprof -d -mp -z -o igprof.mp.gz ./bitcoind -profileheap >& igtest.mp.log & <<< this is exactly how im executing to begin with, then bitcoind is running as such (via `ps ax`): 11738 pts/2 SLl 0:17 ./bitcoind -datadir=/mnt/btc-dev/.bitcoin -profileheap

ascii_modem: same flags as mine plz
assbot: Logged on 06-06-2015 22:49:55; trinque: I can probably obviate worrying about that by just trying to decode everything as utf-8
mod6: as as separate note, I will not be running NMON with this full-sync test -- I want to get as clean of a igprof profile as I can. Don't want any thing else to disturb it's collection.
mod6: [ I'm running igprof with v0.5.3.1-RELEASE first as we know with this version the OOM-KILL signal is recieved. Maybe we can get a deeper glimpse to what's going on here. ]
trinque: I can probably obviate worrying about that by just trying to decode everything as utf-8 ☟︎
trinque: I forget what IP it comes up as :p
mod6: Will update again as I have them.
mircea_popescu: "Like many (too many) other features in Wikipedia, the cite templates were created by a handful of enthusiastic editors without a clear analysis of cost/benefits, and posted by them as if they were a "consensus" --- which they most emphatically are *not*. Then many other editors started using them in the mistaken impression that they are somehow good for Wikipedia --- which they most emphatically are *not*. I used to d
mircea_popescu: ascii_modem it's stunning to me this. the cattle seriously wish to behave as if in fact the kolhoz is the reality and what, we've missed the memo or something ?
kalki: well It's going - its a bit tough, but that is welcome considering that before I was limited to the level of discussion that happens on twitter or various "btc news" sites... I love the word, and REALLY appreciate the use of it I find in these circles... love the challenge - just hope I get a grip and feel confident enough as far as understanding the depths/possibilities/threats etc of what is happeningbefore the rocket leaves
asciilifeform: the membrane (yes, there is a membrane deep inside 'model m') must be pressed to the steel 'anvil' evenly in all places, as far as is possible
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: as if anyone cancelled plastic rivets!
copypaste: Hard to use and hogs RAM. Requires a significant investment of bandwidth as well
assbot: Logged on 06-06-2015 14:37:49; asciilifeform: as it is, half the time it sees 4294967297 and - naturally - stops there
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=06-06-2015#1155952 << it could be made to mill finer but only with addition of particular apparatus. which can just as well be added as a standalone different mill being fed the prequalified choice grains. so let it be, we get to it once the world fails at doing anything useful with its time yet again, in a year or w/e. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: well inasmuch as they seem to replace duds, i think we can expect.
asciilifeform: think of it as venus mission. the probe is allowed to burn, yes, but needs to transmit some useful data before burns up.
mircea_popescu: im confused as to the actual problem is then
mircea_popescu: you know, seeing how they seem to replace defects etc, it would not be the end of the world to blow a few btc on just ordering that half dozen as is
asciilifeform: as it is, half the time it sees 4294967297 and - naturally - stops there ☟︎
shinohai: yw cazalla. I am generally good with it all, as long as it isn't "OMG it's COMING TOWARDS US!"
mircea_popescu: "The libertarian Bitcoinists need to get out of their bubble. Yes, they created BItcoin, but it doesn't belong to them, it belongs to anybody and everybody, and it simply can't live on existing as it did in 2013."
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=06-06-2015#1155723 << this is bad design in principle, merely asking this question. if you visualise the stuff of design as a graph, what this does is introduce a cyclicity in it, which makes the graph no longer computable, or for that matter usable. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: at the time phuctor was designed in 2013, the idea was that no keys could ever be factored. for this purpose, phuctor as designed is exactly adequate.
asciilifeform: likewise, each unknown is stamped with a date of last gcd-ing, as well as sha512 of the mass product at the time this was done.
asciilifeform: the mechanics of a correct phuctor are, roughly: thing keeps track of keys, rsa moduli within, as existing phuctor does; but instead of flagging 'phuctored' moduli, we keep table of known factors (associated with respective unknowns, which, in turn, may be yet-unphuctored moduli -or- fragments previously created by successful phuctorings)
asciilifeform: as it is, the gigantic turds yielded by the current gcd finds will not break apart
asciilifeform: as in, we take everything post-1990 or so and shoot it. then start over.
williamdunne: Re: polling, what would you suggest as the alternative? Websockets?
williamdunne: This is not a problem, so long as something changes between first seen and the update
kakobrekla: as far as i can tell dates are incorrect but the order is correct in your feed ? thats workable. perhaps scoop can cover it. i can too.
asciilifeform: kakobrekla: can the rss thing be made to work as expected in the form of a #b-a bot ? or too b0rk3d
mircea_popescu: <cazalla> crystalspace3d.org is slow as fuck to get cs-win32libs-2.1_003.exe from btw << link ? jurov can then mirror it along with everything else.
asciilifeform: https://pgp.mit.edu/pks/lookup?search=line%40home.com&op=index << and, as always, somebody 'helpfully' uploaded it 'on top of' this fella's genuine key
shinohai: ty asciilifeform for the rss feed, as now I can search easily from my irc client :D
cazalla: crystalspace3d.org is slow as fuck to get cs-win32libs-2.1_003.exe from btw
mircea_popescu: i need you to stop trying to go around things as if you're going to maintain some sort of control over the process or something. what all the periphrase and metaconsiderations ? you've seen a dozen people get one through saying the magic words "gimme one" or somesuch.
mircea_popescu: chetty sure, but whatr insults me here is the pretense that somehow the feelings of the bovine are more important inasmuch as they;re mostly absent.
mircea_popescu: ing they have after work. They have never had to choose between the electric bill and a new coat as winter comes on."
mircea_popescu: rtgage would have more spending power by working fewer hours and/or quitting altogether. Mulligan also notes that as the program was unfavorable to lenders they had a huge incentive to “promote borrower confusion and uncertainty about the disposition of their modification application.” (i.e., the bureaucratic run-around might not have been accidental!)
mircea_popescu: One of the biggest surprises in the book is the importance of federal mortgage loan forgiveness: “This chapter shows how all of these outcomes, and more, may be a direct result of stark incentives created by the FDIC and HAMP programs (hereafter jointly referenced as FH) and their practice of targeting the ratio of housing expenses to borrower income. The FH programs offer modifications on the basis of borrower incom
mircea_popescu: "[Personal experience: I have taken on a recent high school grad (friend’s son) as an intern in my web development business. He was an above-average student in a Harvard University intro CS class and also completed AP Computer Science in high school plus an additional programming class. His current productivity is about 1/100th of a $25/hour Ukrainian or Filipino contract programmer so any wage+benefit package above ☟︎
mircea_popescu: "Assuming, as economists usually do in aggregate analysis, that capital enhances the productivity of labor, and labor enhances the productivity of capital, then the efficient reaction to less labor is to have less capital. Investment is the rate of change of the capital stock, so even small reductions in the capital stock may be achieved by large investment reductions for a short period of time. For this reason, invest
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: as for the 2nd, the idiot flailing re: 'cyber attack'
pete_dushenski: to quote myself : "So let me get this straight, “sustainable” doesn’t mean “long-lasting, likely to perpetuate, and likely to lead to the fullness of human flourishing” so much as “designed to give idiots resources without also teaching them how to think well enough to distribute said resources with a view towards the long-term.”"
williamdunne: Nearly as derpy as the exchange bragging about FATCA compliance
assbot: BitBet - Bitcoin to surpass Berkshire as an investment :: 1121.15 B (20%) on Yes, 4393.47 B (80%) on No | closed 3 months 2 weeks ago ... ( http://bit.ly/1H8aLqU )
mircea_popescu: for the other thing : plox to not email bomb me ; bitbet's not keeping your bitcoin, rejected props get refunded as it gets around to it ; yeah 1 btc is prolly enough for that purpose ; if https://bitbet.us/bet/786/bitcoin-to-surpass-berkshire-as-an-investment/ and https://bitbet.us/bet/7/bfl-will-deliver-asic-devices-before-march-1st/ being paid out isn't going to convince you i guess nothing will. ☟︎
ben_vulpes: well, i learned their use. can't say as i 'know' them.
ben_vulpes: i expected them to work as the lathe does
asciilifeform: but i am leaving it as an exercise
asciilifeform: as shown in http://dpaste.com/1TNXJDZ
shmadz: right, I want a solution that is roughly the same size as Samsung note, and runs native Linux, or some secure version of android, if that even exists
danielpbarron: worst someone can do with compromised irc box is talk as me for as long as i don't notice
asciilifeform: ^ as described by tlp
asciilifeform: because, as described very clearly by tlp (that piece cached on mircea_popescu's www) - they either carry out work directly for usg organs (official or otherwise, e.g., microshit) or perform services for the former
asciilifeform: as do the basic mechanics of a goxatron - encouragement of off-chain payments via 'codes' rather than proper btc, goading users to keep coin in -exchange's- wallet, etc.
asciilifeform: in the same way as ibm passed it to microshit
assbot: Logged on 05-06-2015 03:23:52; asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: pre-nups, as a general rule, don't work in usa
asciilifeform: as it is, half the planet toils so that u.s. schmucks can get tankers full of little orange plastic pumpkins every october to hang on their porch ☟︎
decimation: asciilifeform: note that this 'marriage' isn't really about a meal as much as a fantasy
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: to grasp this, it is necessary to look through the porthole glass on the atomic dirigible, down to the planet below - where most folks are so thoroughly wedded to their meal ticket that they do not really perceive themselves as having a choice of what sort of system to be part of, aside from the abstract choice of eating one's pistol
mircea_popescu: as it is tho...
decimation: asciilifeform: this was sop in su as I understand
assbot: Logged on 05-06-2015 03:06:48; asciilifeform: williamdunne: the usg connection of karpeles is as clear as daylight, considering how he is investigationally untouchable (both in the sr trials and in the greatest btc-related monetary black hole known to date)
decimation: yeah this is a point, as long as usd is 'money' they can toy with anyone
asciilifeform: for so long as the robbers even bother to construct arguments, they will necessarily take this form
assbot: Logged on 05-06-2015 02:53:01; williamdunne: While I'm going to be putting myself very publicly as the face of the company, I'm not the only one responsible for it
asciilifeform: decimation: it is interesting to consider the implications of mass 'awakening' to btc as an anti-divorcetheft instrument
asciilifeform: (more accurately, they work in the same manner as patents. which is to say, if you have infinite money and are willing to spend most of it on lawyers, it can be made to 'work' in a way.)
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: pre-nups, as a general rule, don't work in usa ☟︎
asciilifeform: phun phakt for non-u.s. folks: usg contractors who are registered as 'woman-owned' get preferential contract status. the practical consequence of this is that a great many operators of such firms have them registered in wife's name
asciilifeform: named for physical effect where fastest molecules phase off into vapour and whole thing has lower energy as per boltzmann
decimation: The moral is that we should be ashamed of ourselves and aspire to be as virtuous as this child. But of course in reality this child would have been arrested and executed, alongside his parents. Which is obviously why nobody tells the king about his new clothes. They?re not stupid.
asciilifeform: decimation: the concept described in the linked piece is known as 'shit test' to the pua enthusiasts
asciilifeform: williamdunne: the usg connection of karpeles is as clear as daylight, considering how he is investigationally untouchable (both in the sr trials and in the greatest btc-related monetary black hole known to date) ☟︎
williamdunne: One of the main things I've been focusing on is getting as many degrees of separation as reasonably possible from USG

BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: Not channer as in this chan, channer by the classical definition: an imageboard enthusiast
mircea_popescu: decimation or that old money is doomed, today as much as 2015 bc
