http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=19-05-2015#1137583 << yes. and it only works for
as long
as there's free herring in the scania straight, or for
as long
as kennedy is ein berliner and airlifts food for free, or for
as long
as the north sea oil lasts, or for
as long
as insane luck rolls keep going. otherwise, fuckall, german peasants were the most unfortunate wretches throughout the intermediate period between first
☝︎☟︎ assbot: Logged on 19-05-2015 00:59:33; justJanne: Because the US is a reference point
as worst case civilized country.
trinque: antisocialist thread went about
as I thought
decimation: "Soldiers from all branches of the Armed Forces, civilian first responders, and some foreign military attend the chemical school for training in various types of chemical detection and survival through several courses including practice in a hot zone where actual toxic agents such
as the Sarin and VX nerve agents."
mats: fuckers would feed us pasta, one or two meatballs, and week old salad
as often
as they could
mats: there is this thing known
as "zero defect" officers
☟︎ midnightmagic: Medicine here is good too,
as are government-run car insurance corps which have superior prices to private enterprises elsewhere in Canada.
assbot: Logged on 19-05-2015 00:48:25; mats: i recommend a stint
as a govt employee
danielpbarron: justJanne, your model works for
as long
as there is fiat money to manipulate
justJanne:
As everyone can claim their model would work.
justJanne: Because the US is a reference point
as worst case civilized country.
☟︎ justJanne: Especially
as the amount of corruption is very different on where you are, and when.
danielpbarron: that can't be true, and only appears to be because you use the united states
as your example of the alternative
jurov: lol,
as if private enterprises never hauled political dissidents
justJanne: I don't care if the government owns the trains,
as long
as they are 100% on time, cheap, and fast.
mats: i recommend a stint
as a govt employee
☟︎ justJanne: And,
as you stated, you deserve to be punished for being born here.
mats: folks in various programs draw $300-600/mo in govt kindness, and being worthless
as they are,
mats: lets use the US Postal Service
as a model. something like 200 junk mailers are responsible for pumping $billions into the thing, and they pay a pretty penny to be able to shit in your box at commercial rates (in US, cost of letter is $0.49 -- junk mailers pay 5x that)
danielpbarron: the situation would be so entirely different
as to be impossible to compare
danielpbarron: except it's a very specific shot
as per what the normal people voted on
trinque:
as this aggregate "the people"
cazalla: if you're gonna put your kids in childcare, ya may
as well just kill em now and save yourself years of pain
justJanne: my state’s governor uses the same bus
as me every morning
cazalla: you might pay $100 to them in tax but you sure
as fuck don't get back $100 worth of childcare when it's free
trinque: danielpbarron: heh I always like "surgery by your peers"
as a thought experiment
mircea_popescu: society is about
as meaningful a concept
as baby jesus.
mircea_popescu: no, it doesn't. that's the fallacy of "we can't compare to any alternatives,
as thery don't exist - so it works fine!!1"
justJanne: the day after his time
as chancellor ended, he got a job at Gazprom
justJanne: microwave from 1980 still works, TV from '96
as well, PC from '98 is still in use.
mod6: asciilifeform: heh, now these 21 guys are saying they wanna make embeddable mining chips for smart phones. glwt. seeing
as how they run out of power in like 9 minutes
as it is.
justJanne: danielpbarron: it makes sense to have 1400kbps FLAC,
as that’s CD quality
justJanne read that
as trinique.see() ? someday : sure
trinque: justJanne: someone requires I use thing X
as part of my browser, and that's the day I stop using browsers
mircea_popescu: so "prove i did it" has a very simple counter : if you weigh the same
as a duck
trinque: and you've got other people trying to use the things
as proper programming tools
trinque: the conflict there is the same one
as in SQL
trinque: I do think many "web apps" of today would do better to be written
as native code which just opens a socket for data
trinque: justJanne: points out the conflict between the web-
as-document-store and web-
as-app-things
trinque: hilarious also that the shit getting put into the browser is effectively whatw
as in flash
mircea_popescu: <justJanne> gnutella has
as much chances of mainstream adoption
as Gentoo has << ouch-zing-ouch
justJanne: gnutella has
as much chances of mainstream adoption
as Gentoo has
mircea_popescu: kinda funny that drm never got
as clever
as viruses. even back when both these were clever, the ms-dos era.
mircea_popescu: you must have a theory
as to what exactly would it do before you can actually say a rng was shown weak by dieharder.
trinque: ben_vulpes: the actual dieharder code uses glibc internals in a way that used to work, now does not due to
as yet undiscovered source of rust, with vague indications that compiling with std=c99 has implications for glibc
mod6: And
as far
as the gentoo stuff goes, I kinda had to put that on hold for a minute. I'm going to finish the rest of that up on real hardware. But to do so, I gotta drive across town and buy a new box. I might wait until after the 1st to continue this front.
trinque:
as scoopbot is not back I assume deedbot- is the new guy for that too?
mircea_popescu: "we'll just have a world without diehard. should be fine
as long
as ux is good"
Apocalyptic: ascii_field, i'm still thinking about your "exercice for the reader" from yesterday
as to how get $othersmuckQ without at least doing a division for every modulus encountered
Apocalyptic: afaik you need to have phi(N) to get d from e, and computing phi(N) is equivalently hard
as getting the factorization of N
assbot: Logged on 13-05-2015 21:42:17; asciilifeform: re: '21' etc >> 'The cornerstone of the strategy
as presented would have been the release of consumer products that would turn power from wall sockets into bitcoin through the widespread dissemination of bitcoin mining chips.' << -somebody- clearly reads the 2013 #b-a logs.
Apocalyptic: anyway the remainding part I have is not divisible by primes below something like 1 billion if I remember my tests correctly, may still qualify
as -small- though
Apocalyptic: <ascii_field> at least one falls under the classical 'generated and correctly signed with dud key' // is that key at least a classic RSA key, meaning its modulus consists of only 2 prime factors
as opposed to the case discussed yesterday ?
ascii_field: several have invalid self-sigs and for a subset of these, a non-rotten antecedent key can be found (
as pointed out by the peanut gallery)
trinque: asciilifeform: turns out dieharder uses internal glibc preprocessor directives which cause it to explode when built
as c99
mats: and
as an aside the high ready position is inferior
mircea_popescu: there's been a total of three pairs, so six total keys to date. i have little doubt that
as the program progresses through the list, more will be found. generally, the idea is to discuss this with the owners and them only.
mircea_popescu: especially amusingm, the "key was damaged in transit" one. people p2p HD movies all day, nobody's seen this. gpg data moves around
as archives - try flipping a byte in an archive see if you can stil lget the content. etc.
LC^: I see, so the key would serve
as an exploit of sorts or a trigger
mircea_popescu: such
as, encrypt to it, or email the NSA, or whatever else.
mircea_popescu: with a correctly working pgp implementation, the user connects ot a sks server, discards the wrong key and proceeds
as expected.
mircea_popescu: one of the more interesting constructions
as to the possible intended uses is, a tandem arrangement. it would work like so :
mircea_popescu: that aside, the question of how exactly weak keys came to be, and what are they doing there and so on and so forth is not nearly
as uninteresting
as the usg agency would like to make it.
mats:
as though no editor was involved at all
assbot: Logged on 18-05-2015 01:35:23; justJanne: Sometimes when I get DDoSd I run nmap against the attacking servers, one time I found a small IRC server with only one channel, in which were 256 clients all with just a number
as name, and one other client sending specific commands every few minutes
mircea_popescu: it all stems from a very funamental confusion
as to what things are andwhat technology can do. the idea being that technology = magic, and so it can change the nature of things. take marketplaces, which are by nature centralizing, and magic them into being decentralising. meanwhile irl, technology works to increase quantitatively, not to alter qualitatively.
mircea_popescu: having a central (marketplace = central) for it is about
as stupid
as fire extinguishers loaded with gasoline.
williamdunne: I'll eventually create another key offline which I'll use
as a master or summin
justJanne: Sorry, he's known outside of DE
as Kim DotCom
midnightmagic: mircea_popescu: Mediocrity is a natural result of psychopathic and sociopathic inroads. The moment upper management ceases to directly observe their employees, the result is the most convincing-sounding people's voices become the most relied-on. Convincing-sounding is not the same
as accurate/informed.
justJanne: decimation: I'm on phone right now, but
as the latency didn't go up, doesn't seem so. Or at least nothing noticeable.
justJanne:
As a large company you can get Google Apps
as a box.
mircea_popescu: "[1] He's been scraping the profiles of young women (specifically) and posting links, names, and hometowns on his blog. Yes,
as technologists, we know that this kind of indexing is trivial. That's no reason,
as a decent human being, to terrorize innocent people."
assbot: Successfully added a rating of 1 for justJanne with note: 55 yo Pittsburgh steel mill worker posing
as 19 yo girl on the interwebs.
mircea_popescu: !rate justJanne 1 55 yo Pittsburgh steel mill worker posing
as 19 yo girl on the interwebs.
justJanne: assumed
as much, but I have no experience with them yet, and was surprised seeing one in the wild
justJanne: Sometimes when I get DDoSd I run nmap against the attacking servers, one time I found a small IRC server with only one channel, in which were 256 clients all with just a number
as name, and one other client sending specific commands every few minutes
☟︎ mats: i drank something like 6-7 litres of water that day... missouri is hot
as fuck during the summer
mats: yeah.
as punishment.
ben_vulpes: <gabriel_laddel> I like walking and that is about it
as far
as exercise goes. << i'm on this minimal time workout kick lately
alphonse23_: sure. it just a shame. hacker news was a real gem back in the day. I'm sure it's inevitable,
as things become more mainstream, they get too political, and less honest. Now I have to go out a find good honest news from somewhere underground.
