nubbins`: all play and no work makes a
tv drama
mircea_popescu: sort-of like dallas and stuff of
the era. "now you're married
to her and running
this company. ok, now she moves on
to him, and
the company
to him, etc"
mircea_popescu: you're just a bunch of weird bored middle class dudes in a cul de sac somewhere pretending
to be printing in between wife swappings aren;t you.
nubbins`: the fact
that
the competition is changing hands, incidentally, is made slightly more interesting by
the fact
that pascale is precisely half of
the employee list of
the competition
mircea_popescu: (for a while highschool convention on "who's going" was... wearing pink lipstick.

brendafdez: indiancandy1 i'm not deep, just like pretending sometimes.
those who are see right
thru :3
mircea_popescu: it can be
the core of its own mother for all
the difference it makes.
mircea_popescu: this is
the almighty, societal-saving importance of "fhut
the suck up, nobody asked you anything"
ascii_modem: charlatans materialize always,
to give it
to
them
mircea_popescu: and so you lost at life, all
through
this inept bullshit of "if we pretend it works anyway it'll really work!!1"
ascii_modem: idiot hollywood
types -demand- drm snakeoil
mircea_popescu: and

them, and

the defeatable fence or else...
mircea_popescu: argument

tell
the difference"
ascii_modem: if you have it in software,

thread.
mircea_popescu: ascii_modem so you're

mircea_popescu: nubbins` atm im waiting a little
to give
teh interested parties chance
to
take over
the process.
ascii_modem: and cleaning watermarks up without introducing palpable noise is harder
than it looks
nubbins`: mircea_popescu
these business cards will be a headless chicken unless either (a) someone decides on basics like paper/ink color or (b) you give me free reign and accept
that some/all recipients will be sad pandas
nubbins`: NUGGETS ARE
THE ONLY
THING
THAT GETS HER
TO STOP CRYING
assbot: Logged on 23-03-2015 19:14:34; nubbins`:
tv;dw: kids are shown raw
truth of chicken nuggets being made from scratch, right in front of
them, "EWW GROSSS" etc,
then all clamor over each other
to eat
the fried result
mircea_popescu: there was a video with a poor chinese guy
trying
to explain
to a roomfull of idiots
that you can't make square circles or something.
mircea_popescu: if you spend any
time
talking
to us congressmen and senators, various czars of agencies large or small, etc etc,
this is EXACTLY
the sort of
thing
that ends up coallescing.

mircea_popescu: e DVD Audio or SDMI (Secure Digital Music Initiative) watermark, which was created by Verance Inc and was
the earlier version of
the Cinavia watermarking
technology."
mircea_popescu: "On 5 June 2009,
the licensing agreements for AACS were finalized, which were updated
to make Cinavia detection on commercial Blu-ray Disc players a requirement. On 3 July 2009, Maxim Anisiutkin published an open source DVD Audio watermark detector and neutralizer computer program
to
the SourceForge web site.
The software package contains a detailed description of
the method and embedding parameters used in creating
th
mircea_popescu: ima go read
this article right before i go interview some lepers about best hygiene and diet practices.
mircea_popescu: somehow
they're not as emphatically knowledgeable on
that
topic. good
that
they know how
to posture about "confidence" re bitcoin instead.
mircea_popescu: i'm personally waiting for
the credit suisse article about
the loss of confidence in swiss banks as a result of
them selling out
their customers
to usg & friends.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile
the costs for

brendafdez: "Even if distribution as a means of payment continues
to increase,
the system's advantage – decentralization – is also its biggest drawback. Unlike legal
tender,
there is no authority
that guarantees
the value of
the currency, and bitcoin does not benefit from
the resulting confidence. In
the end,
this confidence is crucial for any currency whose usage extends beyond
the exchange of goods."

to survive recording
through microphones" is utter bull, so it defeats analog copy. you can
trivially remasterize a soundtrack, and if you know what
to look for you just nuke it and nobody will even know.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform re
the entire "cinavia" stuff, it seems
to me
trivial
to bypass.
bitstein: mircea_popescu: I've just been playing with gpg authentication in flask, and I'm
trying
to better understand how
the WoT (in its current implementation) mitigates various risks.
