mircea_popescu: "So as you can probably tell, this board is primarily dedicated to IRL Harems, how to build one, and crucially, how to do so with minimal effort even if NEET and without money.
cazalla: anyway, i thought all you old school bitcoiners were rich as fuck
asciilifeform: 'the law, in its majestic equality, forbids the rich as well as the poor to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal bread' (TM) (R)
Namworld: I wouldn't consider myself to be merely existing. But it seems as such for you.
asciilifeform: as one does in jail.
mircea_popescu: hanbot as big as the penis, it's a rule.
Namworld: If only that... $420 rent here, split in 2 for a 1 bedroom. I'm installed in the living room/kitchen as if it was a studio. Roommate in room.
mircea_popescu: as hanbot sez, "the space to draw one's conclusion is big and fulla dragons."
cazalla: and if you're really game, load up on top cuts from supermarkets but weigh them in the self-serve as carrots
cazalla: and as i've mentioned a few times before.. take a roll of toilet paper home from work each day
Namworld: I often hear living in the city as someone poor (minimum salary) is harsh. It always seemed a bit absurd to me. Minimum salary here is ~$1400 per month after taxes. CAD$10.55 per hour.
mircea_popescu: the relation between games as produced and games is about the same as the relation between intelligence as produced and intelligence
asciilifeform: at any rate, moore's law as this passive quasi-mythical gifts-from-god thing hasn't been cryptographically relevant for a while.
mircea_popescu: (for they following at home : 4x as many bits does not mean 4x as large numbers. when computer registers went from 32 to 64 bits, maxint went from 2147483647 to 9,223,372,036,854,775,807) ☟︎
mircea_popescu: (one of my favourite jokes long ago. because i knew this ugly obnoxious dude who was kinda rape-y, and also kept buying clubs, as in, bars with music.)
asciilifeform: just as theoretically possible.
assbot: Logged on 14-05-2015 21:44:05; ascii_field: i'm kinda curious why mircea_popescu considers a new key signed with a previous key to not be a logical continuation of the same identity. (is it because of the impossibility of hard-guaranteed revocation, as discussed in previous thread?) ☟︎
williamdunne: >Even the offer by Obama of a separate tete-a-tete in Washington could not persuade Saudi Arabia’s King Salman to attend what Riyadh sources describe as “a photo-op” aimed at hoodwinking the American public.
mircea_popescu: derp on trilema offers "military campaigns" as example of plans that worked (tm)
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I have a fixture which disagrees with CFLS. Since the bulbocaust my stock is depleting rapidly as bulbs that once lasted years only now last months
asciilifeform: 'deposited magnetic films as logic elements.' (proceedings of the eastern joint computer conference, 1959. franck, marette, & parsegyan.)
ascii_field: jurov: magnetic logic as described in the literature mostly 'cheated' by including a diode with each gate
ascii_field: ben_vulpes: i suspect this can be pushed up as the transformer cores are made smaller and coils themselves shorter (less inductive)
ascii_field: i'm kinda curious why mircea_popescu considers a new key signed with a previous key to not be a logical continuation of the same identity. (is it because of the impossibility of hard-guaranteed revocation, as discussed in previous thread?) ☟︎
ascii_field: jurov: i thought the gnarly api was part of the 'bozo filter' just as the price was
mircea_popescu: as per trinque above.
ascii_field: just as digital computer, theoretically, does not exist. but the approximation we use is 'almost same'
mircea_popescu: you have a comment field in the keys as they are now. put in there "This key not valid after block 175552"
ascii_field: one cannot claim the same degree of 'hardness' for this as for the actual rsa, correct
ascii_field: one could picture a few 'cheats.' consider one: key, when promulgated, contains a large but finite set of values Q such that hash(hash(...(P)...) = Q, while P are retained as private. every signature must contain a unique Q from this set. when it is time to retire the key, you spend the remaining 'bullets' all at once.
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=14-05-2015#1132130 << the "key deadness" as somehow a part of the key itself, is not only conceptually ridiculous but practically unimplementable. forget it, it's about as relevant to gpg as "the gnu foundation" ☝︎
assbot: Logged on 14-05-2015 17:06:45; jurov: kakobrekla: but that's good idea for our keyserver. sign ping every month, otherwise keyserver publishes the key as dead
ascii_field: basic idea is a transformer whose output varies, given as a second (or more) circuit gets to saturate (or not) its core.
ascii_field: (and insulators, such as air)
ascii_field realized that one could, in principle, microfabricate logical circuits made of magnetic amplifiers (as seen in well-known 'сетунь' trinary computer)
mircea_popescu: (this is exactly how nature does it - as far as it's concerned the namespace is the genotype, as far as you're concerned you just use a nick for the fenotype)
mircea_popescu: as time goes by, i get more and more fascinated by the concept of "offended"
davout: yup, wasn't sure of whether *proxies* updated keys as opposed to the engine, but i guess that yes, it's pretty plainly written
jurov: as i wrote, mirce deprecated upgrading keys
trinque: ascii_field something like deedbot for key expirations (and the presently nonexistent but direly necessary expire-for-new-signatures-only) is inevitable << could you use a specific message format with the deedbot- as is?
ascii_field: as i understand, the only way to do this is to require a blockchain 'ping' with -every- signature
assbot: Logged on 14-05-2015 17:06:45; jurov: kakobrekla: but that's good idea for our keyserver. sign ping every month, otherwise keyserver publishes the key as dead
ascii_field: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=14-05-2015#1132096 << enemy captures keyserver, publishes all keys as 'dead' l0l ☝︎
jurov: kakobrekla: but that's good idea for our keyserver. sign ping every month, otherwise keyserver publishes the key as dead ☟︎☟︎
kakobrekla: such as failing to sign 'ping' in time?
jurov: such as? all copies of previous owner's gpg key to be provably destroyed?
mircea_popescu: honestly i watch the news from anglosphere today like i watched the news from biafra twenty years ago, as a child.
cazalla: seen her? she's white as
copypaste: I saw your article about McDonalds printing money there, very funny. I'm partial to Colombia as far as Latin American countries go personally though.
assbot: Logged on 13-05-2015 22:27:31; asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: within 100 years, we will -all- be as deadly as pirate...
decimation: scraper is much easier than writing the server stack. as yarvin put it "An Internet server is, above all, a massive fortified castle in alien zombie territory. The men who man these castles are men indeed, quick in emacs and hairy of neck."
copypaste: It started as Tinyboard.
menahem: "Into the adblock filter it goes." lol, these people blocking some of the most valuable info they could possibly get. as MP calls it - missed opportunity.
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=13-05-2015#1131084 << currently, cn is actually ahead as far as this thing goes. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=13-05-2015#1131078 << more generally, as long as they pay to play like everyone else, they should be able to play just like everyone else. why not. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: as many times discussed, it's not about the points.
copypaste: foreach ($config['banned_ad_boards'] as $i => $b) { echo "php rebuild.php --board $b\n"; }
decimation: my cable modem 'received an update' as soon as I plugged it into the cable network. even though I owned the modem, I had absolutely no say or ability to stop the install
copypaste: As we agreed. I'll do that.
cazalla: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=14-05-2015#1131671 <<< subtle but not as subtle as usual :P ☝︎
mircea_popescu: as long as it punctures the pki bs i'm happy.
mircea_popescu: listen, what if i push the image out as base64 ?
asciilifeform: as discussed earlier, somewhere north of 20 million u.s. subscribers just for 'comcast'
asciilifeform mined his first, and for long time, only bitcoin, on an fpga for which he wrote a very elementary miner, as an exercise
assbot: Logged on 13-05-2015 21:45:12; asciilifeform: 'By the time its chips were to be embedded into Internet of Things (IoT) devices, 21 projected its cost to produce 1 BTC could be as low as $7.45.' << somebody does not grasp difficulty factor ?
mircea_popescu: just as many poltrons then, but really, a lot more style.
trinque: as are the various associated blogs
trinque: there are guys inside the beast not nearly as foolish as that Force guy
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: not if they spin it as 'out coin is donated to offset carbon credits for mother gaia' or whatnot
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski they didn't do their homework at all. they're a very easy target for the "eco" lobby, and will be murdered as they can't afford to pay those leeches.
cazalla: nah as in beads, paperweights, blown etc
asciilifeform: cazalla: lamps as in neon ?
trinque: as is the whole category of such "news" outlets
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: could just as well throw the comment to the chickens then
assbot: The White House Names Dr. Ed Felten as Deputy U.S. Chief Technology Officer | The White House ... ( http://bit.ly/1K73yJi )
mircea_popescu: does usg-effective mean "bitcoin needs a decision making process which a) doesn't include mp as we've been pretending was the case all along and b) overrepresents us, as we've idem" ?
asciilifeform: jurov: grid isn't pegged. not by a long shot. think of the whole affair as usg imposing a (comparatively, tiny) tax on its subjects with which to buy hash.
asciilifeform: jurov: so chumper pays more. as he did when he had a crt instead of lcd, etc
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: another problem with the "oh noes usg" card is that, as you well know, it's not monolithic. the infighting over any coins it gets its hands on will be considerable. and divisive.
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: within 100 years, we will -all- be as deadly as pirate... ☟︎
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: my counter is that calc ^. so within 100 years, usg is as deadly as pirate or karpeles !
trinque: I understand why people would want to think of the US as this fat, incapable beast that happened as some fluke
pete_dushenski: all i know is that '21 inc' sure as fuck isn't disrupting my sleep ad libitum.
asciilifeform: who get it from same place as before
trinque: as people would like their declarations alone to move reality
asciilifeform: and they can do this as often as they want
asciilifeform: according to 'bloomberg', 22 mil. as of feb '15
asciilifeform: as far as i can tell, he isn't even in the new wot
cazalla: now as much as i love the ol' Vexual, i admit he does like to chat a lot and often makes no sense but by banning him, we now get to enjoy it on a more personal level via pm :P
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: depends on what you think of as 'matters'
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: burn their houses down how? these won't be packaged as traditional miners, recall. it'll be in cable boxes, etc. that folks get 1 or 2 of
asciilifeform: 'By the time its chips were to be embedded into Internet of Things (IoT) devices, 21 projected its cost to produce 1 BTC could be as low as $7.45.' << somebody does not grasp difficulty factor ? ☟︎
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. ☟︎☟︎
asciilifeform: 'As deputy, Felten will report to former Google exec Megan Smith, the recently named White House CTO.'
asciilifeform: spun, of course, as a 'concession to critics' - naturally
jurov: “For too long, we have been a passively tolerant society, saying to our citizens 'as long as you obey the law, we will leave you alone',”
trinque: "Both services often find it useful to engage in public feuds ‘to cover their asses’, as the retired official put it, but they continually share intelligence used for drone attacks, and co-operate on covert operations."
assbot: Obama Dismisses The Wealthy As 'Society's Lottery Winners' | The Daily Caller ... ( http://bit.ly/1IBGujX )
trinque: http://dailycaller.com/2015/05/12/obama-dismisses-wealthy-americans-as-societys-lottery-winners-video/
asciilifeform recommends 'inside the as/400' (frank soltis) re: ibm design 'philosophy' in practice
