the same regulation and identification requirements
to bitcoin wallets as it does
to bank accounts, Accenture has advised."
assbot: Logged on 26-05-2015 23:39:59; *: BingoBoingo imagines what happened was Adobe was giving schools Phree Dreamweaver for classes, and
they just ran with it all
the way
mircea_popescu: much like any
two bit bitcoin-wallet / what have you,
their
time
to "be hacked" will come.
assbot: Logged on 26-05-2015 23:32:41; mats: fun fact: nasdaq runs
the investor relations portals for most of
the fortune 500 companies, on adobe coldfusion
mircea_popescu: fluffypony in any case, comparisons with dead cows like zerocoin, coinjoin etc aren't interesting. i'd like
to hear a comparison with bitbet mixing, which is
to my eyes
the golden standard in bitcoin anonimizing of chain-visible
transactions.
mircea_popescu: zero coin seems
to me exactly designed as a lizard hitler back-up, "alt-bitcoin" bs.
mircea_popescu: Other issues with ZKP include
the RSA private key used
to initiate
the accumulator, which must be
trusted
to be destroyed by
the generating party. << for
the record,
this isn't "other issues".
this is enough
to render
the entire
thing a joke.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: now, it's
true
that
the first
time around (ie, bitcoin), i spent my own money/time
to get it researched. but expecting
the same be done
the 2nd
time around is unreasonable.
mircea_popescu: still, from
the other pov... fuckall knows what's in
there.
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: it's an open-source project, so I'm waiting for contributors
to fill
that stuff in :)
mircea_popescu: for
this reason, monero's choice is reasonable whatever anyone involved may personally believe - because bitcoin already exists
mircea_popescu: i happen
to believe
the later's
the case, but i would certainly regret
to see
the alternative viewpoint bereft of an experimentally available venue, because i am by no means certain
this is so.
assbot: Logged on 26-05-2015 23:32:32; Adlai:
trouble is,
there'll come a day when bitcoin inflation is lower
than monflation
mircea_popescu:
http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=26-05-2015#1145932 <<
the problem with finance isn't "that
there exist numbers" but "that
there exists unknowns". fixed inflation is not fundamentally different from zero inflation just as long as
the inflation is known. which of
the
two is more convenient (and it's purely a matter of clerical convenience) reduces
to a discussion of whether humanity is an ever-expanding cancer or a c
☝︎ mircea_popescu: you'll never be able
to go
to
the moon with just
the
two pairs you got!
mircea_popescu: or numerically,
the confidence
that none is prime is something like 97% or
thereabouts.
mircea_popescu: Apocalyptic in retrospect,
the discovery
that out of
the 89 so mirrored factors, any more
than 0 are ~actually~ prime would contradict reasonable expectation significantly,
☟︎ mircea_popescu: that's it. fuckall i give a shit about whatever any woman hummed in any circumstance and whatever
tree or bird or wheeltrack
through
the mud.

tell mircea_popescu unrelated
to anything, but for
the classicz
translation olympics:

this
time, not mine. but obscure, and very l337
mircea_popescu: the most
that can be said of a number produced
through
taking a composite (moduli are composites - of
two primes yes, but composite) and applying
the 32bit mirroring process is
that you'll obtain an odd number.
that's it.
the probability of a number
that large being prime is roughly speaking n/ln(n)
mircea_popescu: Apocalyptic
the expectation would be
that it'd be divisible by 32bit-shifted 1 + 1, ie 100000000000000000000000000000001 ie 4294967297
ben_vulpes: <asciilifeform> [01:32] rather, it is a u.s. aircraft carrier - which simply happens

BingoBoingo: I said
the IRS was back of
the cannon'd for all da information
BingoBoingo: Fuck Imma have

williamdunne: Most people who watch it don't even really care about cars, just like watching
the

them bum around
decimation: yeah,
they
tried
to make a us version and it was shit
williamdunne: Its what made
the show,
think it'll probably be dead now
decimation: he's a dick but
that's his personality
decimation: williamdunne: yeah it's a shame
that
they did in clarkson
decimation: they had a
top gear uk episode recently on a ranch in western australia I
think
Vexual: and you need
the landholders permission
Vexual: yeah
theyre hard
to catch
BingoBoingo: !up Vexual How much does
that roo salami sell for?
decimation: dijkstra: "My conclusion is
that it is becoming most urgent
to stop
to consider programming primarily as
the minimization of a cost/performance ratio. We should recognise
that already now programming is much more an intellectual challenge:
the art of programming is
the art of organising complexity, of mastering multitude and avoiding its bastard chaos as effectively as possible.
decimation: yeah interestingly apple outta be an exception, given
the weight
they can
throw around
☟︎ mats: fun fact:
the original iPhone shipped without privilege separation, and in
tandem with a libtiff bug Chris Wade wrote an exploit
that made it possible
to root a user visiting a web page
☟︎ decimation: which explains why building computer hardware looks alot more like conspiracy
than product design
decimation: where each part manufacturer will 'application engineer'
their peice
☟︎ decimation: asciilifeform: yeah, I suspect about 80% of
the design is pure 'reference implementation'
decimation: I wonder how many people actually design a server motherboard? probably less
than 10
decimation: so apparently
the evidence is
that you can buy loyalty by employing h1b serfs, not by paying contractors in a derpy bureaucracy
decimation: and an army of local natives
to staff it
decimation: also
there must be a significant
taiwan connection, because
that's where
the buggy hardware is made
decimation: where
they conspire
to paper over
tons of buggy shit
decimation: there is a mysterious world
that exists behind
the nda's of american megatrends, intel, and microsoft
assbot: Logged on 22-07-2014 20:06:04; Mats_cd03: and,
there is an ACPI
table exclusively for
telling Windows not
to apply fixes for buggy hardware because its in a VM, and VMM emulation of
the hardware doesn't include said bugs.
Vexual: still
the minimus sees you fit
to
the next halving at least
danielpbarron: although i burn most of mine reloading
the same articles over and over again as i pull
them up
to link in forum posts and whatnot
Vexual: thought
that might be
the case
Vexual: how many creds does it cost
to read an article?
Vexual: mps 8ch endeavour has left evry free vestage of
trilema reading barren
decimation: 'all our ad-hoc hardware is mashed
together in an ad-hoc fashion, so let's make an ad-hoc language
to describe it'
assbot: Logged on 09-09-2013 19:59:48; mircea_popescu: back

hanbot: <Adlai> it's only information if you care about it <<
that'd be a great creed for #bitcoin-assets-candyland
Vexual: lowercase l next
to capitol I made me Iol
Adlai: have any examples of
that?
danielpbarron: it's interesting see where
the
trades line up with conversation in here
Adlai: i'd rather expect
that my imagination wildly exceeds
the mundane reality
Adlai: so hard
to imagine?
Vexual: Adlai: it's good info i guess, prolly gets digested in ways
that I can't imagine
BingoBoingo: Big
trades seem fine. Not all
that common.
Tis information. Small
trades
though... like <assbot> [HAVELOCK] [AM100] 55 @ 0.00005229 = 0.0029 BTC [-]
Adlai: Vexual: what do you
think about assbot
trades in
the main channel
BingoBoingo: So I joined #bitcoin-assets-trades and strongly recommend it. So much lulz when assbot reports
the Havelol
trades. Good for at least a chuckled every
time I check
the feed
there

☟︎ mats returns
to studying ios jailbreaks
mats: fun fact:
there is a particular ACPI
table in
that you can put anywhere in a low range of memory during boot, and Windows will
take
the payload data, drop it as an EXE, and run it as SYSTEM.

than Hello World! in it?
