BingoBoingo: Are we sure the fanfic propaganda guy isn't a teen girl "As it turned out, nobody had worked out that her challenging Neville to a Most Ancient Duel meant that she liked him. She'd thought it would be obvious but no, nobody else had even thought of that apparently."
adlai: eg, "compressed ECDSA key" is pretty much the same general idea as the proof that there are 'as many' rational numbers as integers
mircea_popescu: as in, defalcation ?
decimation: snowden might have contacted wikileaks acting as a foil for the russian security services

asciilifeform: i see them as fellating usg actively, plain and simple

BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Aha they took reop as is... Even with the part where it only exists as a "go" turd
adlai: tlsnotary [purports to let you]*, (but they seem to know what they're doing, as far as i can tell)
assbot: Logged on 04-03-2015 01:47:14; Pierre_Rochard: decimation: this is about separating the traders’ cash from the exchange’s cash. Comingling of funds is not a good idea, as you point out it can lead to “fractional reserve” by the exchange (more precisely, defalcation)
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=04-03-2015#1040238 << it's never the case that you can find one of these "things that be" (as per http://log.bitcoin-assets.com//?date=01-03-2015#1038150 ) that doesn't have a mole ready to go wherever. ☝︎☝︎
mircea_popescu: i mean evil as in, wicked.
BingoBoingo: One of these days, would love to use as main online computter http://webspace.webring.com/people/a7/717171/Blacky.html
adlai: asciilifeform: what's the lispm good for these days? i'm intrigued by them but (as you yourself have said) software sim is much more practical these days
asciilifeform: as in, every single one of the executables.
BingoBoingo confesses running to OpenBSD instead of Gentoo not because of knowledge, but from a lack of knowledge. Still determine personal minimal set of installed software. No confident enough to make best choices on a whole workstation (as opposed to appliance) stack.
adlai needs to try this as coding music
assbot: Logged on 04-03-2015 03:36:26; danielpbarron: such a person could sign a message as any user
danielpbarron: such a person could sign a message as any user ☟︎
BingoBoingo: danielpbarron: Could even the good doktor mark such a large keyspace as RSA as his numebers?
decimation: who exactly is to be the object of your submission? the law as written? or as interpreted by bureaucrats? or as voted by your neighbor?
trinque: danielpbarron: I enjoy thinking of the usgov as the whore, though I've heard people argue thats the catholic church
decimation: trinque: as a Christian I find their statements abhorrent
BingoBoingo still only on chapter 66 and closing chapters, which ought to be expected as I'm from a town with "auf wiedersehen" on the signs at its borders
BingoBoingo remembers in early 2012 before scandal Petraeus being floated as a more serious threat to Obola than Congress ☟︎
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Of course. Petraeus's greatest problem was going as high as a primate could go. Purely sublizard being
BingoBoingo: decimation: The thing is he took the post as an active duty officer and the affair itself presented another potentially chargeable crime.
asciilifeform: decimation: how many usg employees that were once dealing in official secrets would come up entirely clean if their belongings were searched ? as in, not even a 'post-it note'
BingoBoingo: decimation: Basically it seems the objective of the scandal was to keep him out of national politics. Mission accomplished as it rarely is.
BingoBoingo: Then again the PowerPC console generation came as Apple left the architecture and IBM wanted anyone else to jsutify its continued work there
Pierre_Rochard: decimation: this is about separating the traders’ cash from the exchange’s cash. Comingling of funds is not a good idea, as you point out it can lead to “fractional reserve” by the exchange (more precisely, defalcation) ☟︎

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: beria actually picked up women... << based on the sources, i don't regard it as a solid historical fact ☟︎
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: they have nothing. this is proof positive that the cia is as worthless as the vassar feminist book club; think about hassling beria in that manner << to be fair, p. was no longer heading anything when he was 'flushed'.
lobbes: I'd imagine the latter would fall prey to the same issues as a vps
mircea_popescu: they have nothing. this is proof positive that the cia is as worthless as the vassar feminist book club.
ascii_field: as is ben_vulpes, and a buncha folks
ascii_field: stick's pretty sharp, i'm sitting on it as we speak
mircea_popescu: but generally, liberal professions / highly skilled professionals. which pointedly does not include coding monkeys, as per us law.
ascii_field: it's built as part of the thing
mod6: np. i just want people to get from your article that we're focused on publishing the release as soon as possible. hopefully this month.
thestringpuller: except at the end with the implied "Work is halting on this for now as the main focus will be the v0.5.3.1 milestone release. Stay tuned for more on this.
ascii_field: i overlooked this because assumed that static build worked given as test was on box known to lack openssl, boost, bdb as centrally installed libs
jurov: ascii_field: you seen a pamflet claiming ada was intended as elaborate hoax to set back russian progrmamers?
danielpbarron: it's banned as both "peer-to-peer software," and as a "CPU intense application" (if mining)
chetty: <jurov> strip mining of human resources is usually not the best strategy// strip miners ..also know as gubermint
cazalla: so when did vessenes become involved in the foundation, from what i'm reading, it was gavin that floated and promoted the idea of it back in october 2011 (piecing together some history as suggested by.. who, i forget)
mircea_popescu: and yes that's what i'd do as fed chairman : interest hike to 35%.
mircea_popescu: and yes it did work. and no, the bezzle wasn't as bad then as it is now.
cazalla: the new australian chinese mums have a good scheme going on.. their mothers come here from china to cook/clean etc for a year so new mum can take it easy, explains why all all the other mums look tired but this china doll looks as good as ever
Vexual: im on the same money as one year ago
ben_vulpes: anyways as a point of data, it's year 1.5ish of this insane enterprise, and i'm just now beginning to approach the salary of a "programmer" in my geographic region.
mircea_popescu: for the record, being chinese doesn't make them special. they get as much access as obama gets.
mircea_popescu: not as much as a dime's worth.
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=03-03-2015#1039455 << you can link her to source, so as to explain why you want em. im sure she'll love the logs :D ☝︎
assbot: Why Bankers Will Continue to Make Just as Much as They Used To | Reaction Wheel ... ( http://bit.ly/1CnIzyT )
pete_dushenski: well, as much 'fame' as random, non-WoT commenters on contravex can have
pete_dushenski: http://www.contravex.com/2015/01/23/how-the-adage-time-is-money-and-the-existence-of-google-prove-that-facebook-is-worth-less-than-dust/#comment-11997 << thread re: my unwarranted self-confidence as an investor
fluffypony: 'as he stabbed me and raped my bloody corpse'
fluffypony: pete_dushenski: analogous to "The fraud came as a surprise. He seemed like such a nice guy. I definitely didn't expect him to scam anyone."
pete_dushenski: "Abraham says: “Fraud in Apple Pay… came as a surprise to all” " << mhm. right.
pete_dushenski: "When deep in nitty gritty of development you sometimes forget quite how world-altering the technology you’re creating is, which is probably just as well since the gravity of the matter at hand would be continually distracting. "
pete_dushenski: Since our blockchain has a number of important differences with the Bitcoin blockchain (mainly in transaction density), stemming from the extremely short 12s block time we’re aiming for, we would have to use not the blockchain data itself like Hashimoto but rather an artifcially created dataset, done with an algorithm known as Dagger (yes, some will remember it as Vitalik’s first and flawed attempt at a memo
asciilifeform: and there is no reason why this apparatus - or a slightly scaled down one - could not function as a 'milking machine'
asciilifeform: the idea of toroidal 'belt sander' as dildatron
mircea_popescu: Political collapse will be resisted, and the way it will be resisted is by starting as many wars as possible, to produce a vast backdrop of failure to serve as a rationale for all sorts of “emergency measures,” << i said this a number of times, but it bears repeating : if this happens every usg employee, past or present, hangs by his guts.
mircea_popescu: "Military success is unimportant, because failure is even better for maintaining order by forcing through various emergency security measures than success." << this is known as the "north korea" versio of us future. because obviously best kim is in a state of imagined war with an imagined world.
trinque: though I can take eating key fingerprints as a feature request
trinque: as a dpaste
asciilifeform: (there's a 'bleeding edge' version pushed out by ada foundation, which slowly merges back into gcc, as i understand. that version is also gpl, but the standard lib is also gpl - unlike the gcc ada, where it is lgpl)
asciilifeform: as for the compiler, it's been part of vanilla gcc for years.
mircea_popescu: not clear what those words mean, so let's be explicit : as far as the website is concerned, the preferred display is for every block that included a bundle to be listed, clickable, lead to bundle. to the right of it, enumerated, the individual deeds that were therein bundled
trinque: mircea_popescu: ah so publish as a bundle, but then upload the parts separate?
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: yes! soon as i get back home
ascii_field was turned down, just as expected, almost certainly for 'too ethnic'
trinque: dunno, is this going to be the target of hax at some point? I wrote it as though it would be
trinque: its actually even more constrained than that, as it will reject keys not in assbot's l1 or l2
mircea_popescu: but as a side point : for all the fixed ideas in the electoral population about what the labels "republican" or "democrat" mean, i would like to point out obama is by far the strongest believer in free markets the white house has had in a long time.
mats: well you can take the lack of reporting as a sign that the us got trounced again
gabriel_laddel: Anyways, this is what I have in mind when I say "new format" - and no, I don't think the 'adults' would be happy about a program that converts arbitary PDFs into this sort of program, as evidenced by no bezzle barons funding Aaron Swartz's legal defense.
gabriel_laddel: I should have better defined what I mean by "useful format": all the citations must be clickable, and when you click on them, they open up the linked paper, or tell you where it is located (i.e., behind a paywall). I don't want plaintext output, but rather a better format with the exact same formatting as the original pdf that allows me to click, drag-and-drop and add new content. The authors etc should all be progr
gabriel_laddel: 14:16:34 BingoBoingo: gabriel_laddel: the 'adults' are not going to be happy about you writing a program that converts all books in libgen.info + all papers you can get of school networks into a useful format via a combination of OCR and heuristic hackery << Plain OCR is normally sufficient for books without advanced mathematics as long as you are willing to liberate the pages from the spine. Test it with a sheetfed
asciilifeform: why would anyone use a device such as 'yubikey' for access to a man-portable machine ?
ben_vulpes: lol nowhere near as expensive as their payloads are valuable.
asciilifeform: the rocket, just as the modern ic, was designed by and for industrial system.
asciilifeform: anal opening a mile wide is found? no matter, carries on exactly as before.
thestringpuller: although MPex has it's idiots (see: http://trilema.com/2013/because-most-people-are-idiots-in-spite-of-never-manning-up-and-admitting-to-it/) don't think it's near the same percentages as coinbase users
mircea_popescu: jurov as an example, if someone bought 100 shares on mpex today at the 0.239 price paying 23.9 btc, he would control (if memory serves) 1% of the 1% f.derp stake in the origial coinbase. that'd entitle him to 0.01% of the value of 50/350 parts in the coinbase ipo, which would come to
jurov: they can't sell for over 350k btc.. << or else? you'll keep selling as many D.CBSE as necessary?
mircea_popescu: Transhumanists are not fond of death. We would stop it if we could. To this end we support research that holds out hope of a future in which humanity has defeated death. Death is an extremely difficult technical problem, to be attacked with biotech and nanotech and other technological means. I do not tell a tale of the land called Future, nor state as a fact that humanity will someday be free of death - I have no magic
asciilifeform: idea being, 'me: if gravity has chiral component, consider two propellers glued back to back as 'barbell'. ought to rotate in a particular direction depending on orientation. align using electromagnetic means, infer angular momenta' al: 'here's how'
