hanbot: mircea_popescu> i am (i guess?) proud to say that ro pron party included womenz to my knowledge. wtf is the point without, they jack off on the zacusci ? << issat
a typo or is
a jacuzzi fulla zacusca
a thing?!
mircea_popescu: so trinque gets
a notification that hey, you got the wrong ITEM stored under reference X.
mircea_popescu: that this reference is not functional, which is to say does not substitute for the thing it references, is
a trivially true and entirely spurious observation.
a111: Logged on 2017-11-08 22:01 mircea_popescu: modulus completely identifies
a key.
mircea_popescu: yes, koch fps are ineptly chosen names. yes there's value in having
a biunivocal name-item relation by default.
mircea_popescu: but
a third party asked for N knows WHAT key is being discussed. which is the point of labeling keys.
a111: Logged on 2017-11-08 21:46 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform there's no need to include the exponent. if ppl don't know what exponent to use for
a certain modulus, let them find out.
trinque: right, I could as well use nick for that, since it's
a non-colliding namespace for those
mircea_popescu: yes, obviously we would use deflation, say baseblabla to fix this up to
a point.
mircea_popescu: what happens if FC66C0C5D98C42A1D4A98B6B42F9985AFAB953C4 is longer than
a chat line ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform there's no need to include the exponent. if ppl don't know what exponent to use for
a certain modulus, let them find out.
☟︎ ben_vulpes: and if it's not important enough to push
a valid key through the cracks of the sybil wall, i guess it wasn't actually important enough.
ben_vulpes: and then send
a few messages to your counterparty and get confirmation that they decrypt, and ask for the same
lobbes: But otherwise, even I can agree: no real use for key servers as-
a-thing. And, as I've found out, expiration-as-
a-thing idem
davout: how do you picture
a key exchange, from
a practical pov?
davout: spotting small differences in
a 2048 blurb subjectively sounds impractical to me
a111: Logged on 2016-12-27 05:28 asciilifeform: anything else puts
a megatonne of weight on one single hash,
a titanic reward for finding one single solitary collision, hashes (which are voodoo, in all variants, see friday's thread) are not built to withstand this kind of pressure.

davout: point is, if done properly fingerprints, when done properly, are
a +ev proposition
davout: asciilifeform: i'm not speaking about gpg as its currently-existing braindamaged implementation of
a shaky protocol
lobbes: all good now, but I had set my primary pub to not expire I think
a year ago. But of course, I neglected to push this updated key to either keyservers or to, for example, deedbot
mircea_popescu: and in other lulz, eulora player complains about game generated name. "it sounds like
a pornstar!"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i find amusing the, eg, "suv" toyota recently waxed and parked in mud in front of
a cheap brick wall. evidently, "vehemently opulent pork sausages".
mircea_popescu: this is like "free hubcaps!!!". if i can buy
a car i don't need anyone's hubcaps wtf.
a111: Logged on 2017-11-08 17:20 asciilifeform: 'Such an order by
a US court is exceptional, Carroll says. “In general, our federal courts do not have the power to issue orders against people or entities that were not part of the lawsuit.” But he adds that US federal rules for civil procedures such as this do sometimes allow injunctions against persons who are in ‘active participation’ with an enjoined party. The current lawsuit is an example of that, he says.'
davout: will converge to perceived risk pricing of leaving buttcoin on
a platform until contract expiration
trinque: sold mine to that btcbuilder bag holder for
a huge haircut
a111: 2017-09-11 <mike_c> congrats! I did that
a long time ago too. Good luck with it.
a111: Logged on 2017-11-08 01:43 asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: re 'fram, ursul polar' -- the ancient ЗИЛ-like fridge in 'museum of communist konsoomer' is
a 'fram'
a111: Logged on 2017-11-08 16:05 asciilifeform: in other lulz, amazon co nao offering... i shit thee not, 'Not at home? Not
a problem. As
a Prime member, you can get packages securely delivered into your home without being there. Plus, grant access to the people you trust, like your family, friends, dog walker, or house cleaner—no more leaving
a key under the mat.' << 'cloud'-controlled door lock.
a111: Logged on 2017-05-14 16:51 mircea_popescu: the (very indian) chef of great local place actually came out of kitchen to see these two people who were eating all the stuff i rodered ; but couldn't summon the courage to more than bow from
a distance and scurry off.
mircea_popescu: and she wanted
a drink and the waiter came over to ask me and i said sure and she was all "why is he asking you ?"
mircea_popescu: one of the better lulz re this happened at c3, in ba. bucnha us at
a large table at this dinner-and-tango places, someone brought along some blondy german chick, i dun recal who
trinque: it was times like these I realized what
a sad place I lived in
mircea_popescu: they drink, watch porn, gangbang. it's
a "fishing trip"
trinque remembers
a time from his youth when drunk, chick puts on porn in group mixed company, figures hey, we're gonna fuck, proceeds as such.
mircea_popescu: can't meaningfully interact with
a dog, let alone their wife, let alone you know, chtulhu from the depths of the abyss.
mircea_popescu: think of this for
a moment -- you, joe schmoe, write something. and someone comes and changes it. and you... HAVE NOTHING TO SAY.
mircea_popescu: but i, and on multiple occasions, rewrote the work of LIVING AUTHORS. with their knowledge, that never amounted to more than
a piddly comment on the trilema article in question.
mircea_popescu: i deliberately took to employing
a classical renaissance procedure, of re-writing. that i rewrote
a bunch of classical works and the whole set of "Specialists" did not find themselves under
a life-or-death obligation to drop everything they were doing and pick up this is one thing
mircea_popescu: but trilema is many things, and among them
a very pointed exercise in this discussion.
mircea_popescu: including you know, the "pls halp" telegram, the turning of that war, the strange situation of ww1, the taking of odessa and march on rome, it's
a complicated century.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform im trying to condense together
a period starting in 1850.
mircea_popescu: not altogether an un-understandable or for that matter incorrect view. moreover, owing to romania's incredible literary sterility as manifested as
a long term sustained inability to meaningfully write themselves...
mircea_popescu: anyway. the russian secular view of romania is
a sort of balanced chechenia-japan mix.
mircea_popescu: from there on they forged an alliance with petru groza,
a sorta-maybe left (less so than today's xtian democrats for instance) with some popular appeal, pretended to have won the election on ~43% of the vote, then leaned on individual ministers to play along, then scoured the prisons for credible ministalins. picked gheorghe gheorghiu dej and that was mostly it, they withdrew.
mircea_popescu: so they cut
a deal with mihai (an amusing episode in itself, mihai was very much krammer in that negotiation episode, "we offer free lifetime cappucinos and,,," "ILL TAKE IT!!!1", and made
a govt with sanatescu.
mircea_popescu: as
a result, the victorious revolutionaries found themselves in '45 in
a dubious situation : they had absolutely no political legitimacy. outside of mihai, who was mentally incompetent then as now, but whose two aunts were very willing to sell out ; and sanatescu, who didn't think much of them (for cause), they had ~no one in bucharest.
mircea_popescu: entirely ineptly led german war effort, very poorly supplied, resulted in an untenable military situation at the don's bend : romanian forces were out of ammunition, out of fuel, out of anything. the russians counterattacked the two sections held by romanians, and killed
a quarter million people.
mircea_popescu: romania got meanwhile engaged on the eastern front by general antonescu, who was literally as he describes himself,
a military man being sucked into
a power vacuum and trying to do best could be done.
mircea_popescu: the 2nd carol was very much
a redditard. he quit to pursue his whoring interests, leaving the congenitally retarded mihai "on the throne". this is through and through power vacuum. eventually he returned, and tried to be
a sort of local mussolini, tho it didn't so much catch.
mircea_popescu: romania had
a great king, carol 1st. he was
a scion of carol of hohenzollern and maria murat. romania also had three shitty kings : ferdinand, carol 2 and mihai, in decreasing order of shittytude -- the first one was like
a librarian, inept but disciplined. these come off leopold and some portuguese infanta. MUCH worse material.
mircea_popescu: (protein is ~4, sweets ~7, alcohol~9... so if you take
a serious alcohol-only meal prior maybe reach the .5mj)
mircea_popescu: there;s
a reason all bodies rot and no bodies catch fire.
mircea_popescu: thereby
a lowball estimate of "heat to dispose of one" is probably in excess of 30MJ per capita, as opposed to the 1MJ originally estimated above.
mircea_popescu: the cost of ~mere vaporization~ of the ~mere water~ in the "water soaked aerogel" composing
a shithead is ~280kJ PER KILOGRAM.
davout: wouldn't it self-sustain after
a while?
mircea_popescu: davout it's
a log. you are looking at the wrong side of this.
mircea_popescu: the deeper
a mol of gas is, the greater the buoyant force experienced by the flexible container holding it.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform understand, the per-kg energetic cost of incineration is > 1MJ. this means 100 tons cost you over 100 GJ, or in fuel terms about
a ton of gasoline. you can't be spending 1% by mass ffs.
mircea_popescu: the correct move is to take the dreamers from the section of earth inhabited (land) to the section of land uninhabited (sea) with
a minimum of dirt and contamination produced.
mircea_popescu: the problem with
a dead idiot is that it converts upon dying from
a large piece of excrement into
a large piece of actual excrement.
mircea_popescu: the killing itself is
a minor part of the problem. coupla cents budgeted at most.
mircea_popescu: "my great-grandfather was clipper on
a redditard disposition ship, beotch!!11"
mircea_popescu: "i wouldn't live on
a place where reddit bags aren't visible from shore"
