thestringpuller: if they rip out OpenSSL for libsecp256k1 won'
t this cause undeterministic behavior in signature checking? Or does the "comooniteee" just want to not check signatures anymore?
mircea_popescu: "this bag is as heavy as that car. we don'
t know whether that car is just a cardboard cutout or what, but hey, provedly heavy bag! !1"
mircea_popescu: dude speaking of "provability" bs. FSB are "provably secure" because it can be proven they're at least as hard as regular syndrome decoding. which is np complete. while we don'

t be a non-orthogonal fudge like a program consisting of one line 'start_bitcoind()' nor anything in that spirit. ORTHOGONAL operators.
mircea_popescu: punkman only if "standard format" doesn'

mircea_popescu: i do but i don'
t recall why i wasn'
t so hot about that.
mircea_popescu: punkman certainly a worthy attempt, even if mod6 prolly won'
t be able to put it in current release.
mircea_popescu: didn'
t he end up basically rewriting sendmail because sendmail sucked ?
mircea_popescu: which is why they keep inventing academic honors for the emperor. they work admirably, don'
t they.
mircea_popescu: king can not invest by staff. he doesn'
t have a staff to give.
mircea_popescu: anyway, in the expression of the castrated subhumans that nevertheless are intelligent enough to notice the problem, this is usually called the "knowledge problem", ie poor state can'
t acquire and process enough information to make a reasonable gosplan.
mircea_popescu: problem being, they don'
t actually help, just serve to alienate me further.
Azelphur: mircea_popescu, haven'
t been around much recently so haven'
t familiarised myself with it
Azelphur: whoops, he said he'd pay me an installment of £1000ish on Monday, then said it was a bank holiday and that he would send it out Tuesday, ignored me till yesterday where he claimed he had sent it out, but honestly he has said it's sent so many times and it didn'

ben_vulpes: didn'
t phf do something with timestamps?
mircea_popescu: this doesn'

assbot: Logged on 23-01-2016 03:40:38; mircea_popescu: the people who don'
t care if they life or die either live or die. the people who do care - end up paying rent to the ones that live.
mircea_popescu: it isn'
t up to them. some people dont' care. some do. they can'
t change this anymore than you can be a woman.
mircea_popescu: the only news in the world is the history you didn'
t know and the measurements you took incorrectly.
mircea_popescu: anyway - the exact same sort of people sifted to the top in the su as do anywhere else all the time. which is why yeltsin didn'
t survive and putin did.

☟︎☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: when plebs "own stock", the problem becomes unsolvable, because the ready answer is, "i can'
t blame myself, for i'm nothing - so i'll just blame the gods"
polarbeard: that's right, I shouldn'
t have released it this early anyway
ben_vulpes: "i didn'
t know any better" is, for the record, an entirely acceptable response.
ben_vulpes: the dependency chain of "well i work for satan because i got this useless phd that i got because i had a masters i didn'
t know what to do with because i got a bachelors that i similarly didn'
t understand the purpose of because i was told to go to college and" it never fucking ends and i don'

ben_vulpes: "what, can'

assbot: Logged on 02-05-2014 03:15:33; asciilifeform: basic course on russian privatization. 'your formerly state-issued flat is now yours. you are a millionaire!' - 'neato. but my salary hasn'

assbot: Logged on 23-01-2016 01:40:55; mircea_popescu: they didn'

ben_vulpes: well it doesn'

☟︎ mircea_popescu: the problem here, and it's a fundamental problem, is that the derps that get employed aren'
t usually investor grade.
ben_vulpes: i don'
t see the problem with embezzling a reasonable amount of toilet paper. it's a valid business expense, and the staff don'
t get taxed for it.
ben_vulpes: except for the ones who are not and who don'
t want anything to do with my asbestos gloves.
mircea_popescu: uh. weren'

pete_dushenski: btc-e trading higher than bistamp, which is itself trading higher than bitfinex... don'

mircea_popescu: actually, that one reporter wasn'

polarbeard: that's why I said I don'

mircea_popescu: so technically it doesn'

mircea_popescu:
http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=22-01-2016#1381687 << the definition of "effective" under which he operates is both peculiar and self-defeating. he wants to get something (in this case, anything, whatsoever) for nothing (in this case, no casualties, the one thing usg can'
t afford is coffins). so in that sense, his insanity is sensible.
☝︎ polarbeard: yep, this is quite experimental anyway, I don'
t know make's limits
polarbeard: I don'

pete_dushenski: just imagine the conversation at lizard hitler hq : "sir, we have reports that the bitcoin xtcoreclassic team isn'

pete_dushenski: BingoBoingo: bwahaha. "how much does your enemy need to pay you for you to answer the call in his time of need ?"... indeed. why shouldn'
t "recovery" guys be on the same side as "thieves" ?
jurov: rental agencies don'
t report that?
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: No. Thefts are rentals that just don'

pete_dushenski: magnum r/

BingoBoingo: We only got 3 or 4 inches of snow. Yet rather than remove it derps drive over it until it refreezes into a slick that doesn'
