asciilifeform: if mircea_popescu had a twatter page where he boasted of having purchased 1,000 200-litre crates of orca-cola, but did not say why, it would not be unreasonable to politely ask if he wanted to sell some -- though answer could end up being 'it is to fill my swimming pool, buzz off'
mircea_popescu: you expect if random dood on side of the road asks me if he can what ? rent my car ? girl ? take a sip of my drink?

BingoBoingo: That's what happens when you double down on being a lumberless lumberyard
BingoBoingo can't believe it's only another 5 hours until the latest round of "Who wants to fleece a Gringo" emails pour in
BingoBoingo: Well, probably a natural fit for the typical target market
mircea_popescu: is that the fertile soil of afghanistan, from back in the day a different empire was going there to die ?
shinohai: Well see BingoBoingo, I figure its only a matter of time before they DO allow cookie sales and boys to wear brownie uniforms if they wish.
BHopkins: It just says "Get your OTP" and then gives me a key. What do I do with that key?
shinohai: Srry BingoBoingo .... jhvh1 down for a bit
mircea_popescu: mmm. it's not a matter of sharing expertise as such. it's a matter of breaking the fake media, let's say.
BHopkins: Ok great, we briefly talked about marketing and interviews. Did you want to do a series of interviews?
mircea_popescu: i'll rate you, which means you'll be able to self-voice so i don't have to keep patching it half hour at a time.
BHopkins: MP I have a PGP key now...
shinohai: Ah Yahoo .... I was able to upload a BEeF hook inside an ad there once, no one batted an eye.
mircea_popescu: BHopkins do you have a pgp key ?
mircea_popescu: you mean other than a bevy of the younger "journalist" interns realising they're wasting their time in office clothes in new york and joining me naked in costa rica ?
asciilifeform still not sure how (other than ceremonial aspect) this mechanism beats sending coins the old-fashioned way, from own actual node -- but it's still neat that trinque built a thing sturdy enough to run with coin
BHopkins: I almost feel a little dirty not playing by the conventional rules of money :)
asciilifeform: they stood a chance?!
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform see, coinbase. bitpay / blockchain.info dun stand a chance.
shinohai: I could payroll South American camhoes for a year on that lol
mircea_popescu: BHopkins are you sure it is yours ? lest we blow up a whole flat's worth of hookers and blow.
BHopkins: Nope, no bitcoin yet for me. But I've worked with a few other companies in this industry over the years.
BHopkins: As for my recommendation, we're not trying to educate the general public through the search results. What we want to do is ensure they only find positive information when the search for a keyword.
mircea_popescu: may be a difference of scope, but anyway.
BHopkins: I've worked in this vertical a few different times, along with other verticals that have similar issues.
mircea_popescu: this is a ridiculous state of affairs, and it will have to be returned to normalcy.
BHopkins: Much better...In a nutshell, we do what gets results and what works. Sometimes that is high quality content, but other times, it's lower quality link building.
mircea_popescu: aha. so : there's a bit of mismatch here, whereby the republic is powerful and rich, whereas the perception in usg owned peon farms is disjunct.
mircea_popescu: so this orm thing... is it what they call old style media agencies ? a sort of ogilvy&mather for the internet age ?
asciilifeform: i was about to say 'i've never heard of a zinx' but it was in linked item earlier
BHopkins: Just looking for a guy named zinx
asciilifeform: not in compliance and require that the company pay a penalty for each, which can total to €500,000 or more'
asciilifeform: various lulz from same, e.g. https://archive.is/D1gJA >> ' McHardy first approaches a company to tell it that its product is not in compliance; he makes a modest demand (say €6,000-7,000) for his engineering time. He also asks the company to acknowledge and sign his cease-and-desist order; under German law that turns it into a contract. Once that has been done, sometime later McHardy will come back with other products that are also
asciilifeform: 'wouldja like a dell or a hp'
mircea_popescu: scratch the surface of "diversity" and "World of choice" juyst a little, admire the self-same oroborus maggot.
jhvh1: mircea_popescu: (ticker [--bid|--ask|--last|--high|--low|--avg|--vol] [--currency XXX] [--market <market>|all]) -- Return pretty-printed ticker. Default market is Bitfinex. If one of the result options is given, returns only that numeric result (useful for nesting in calculations). If '--currency XXX' option is given, returns ticker for that three-letter currency code. It is up to you to make sure the code is a valid (1 more message)
asciilifeform: (0 reason why pakifarm cannot use name, mug, an' styling of a chix )
asciilifeform: but this is nonsense. he has x because he is able to - sometimes - infer it from a partial knowledge of q, because relation between x and q stream was 1:1. with multiple generators, it is now many to many.
mircea_popescu: here's what you move to : "I have a Q and a P". here's the correct statement : "Of all the possibles that may exist, Q and P, I have both".
mircea_popescu: here's how you state the story : "I have a Q". here is the correct statement : "Of all the possible Q that could ever exist, I have Q, the one and sole and only."
asciilifeform: if 'enemy is a telepath and can access anything', you don't have crypto, you have eating pistol or surrender
a111: Logged on 2017-10-11 16:53 asciilifeform: proposed item is that if using 1 stream, knowledge of a segment of plaintext gives you something valuable to work with; if using 2+ -- nothing
asciilifeform: i'ma borrow method of apeloyee and post a pseudocode at some point, might become clearer.
shinohai: lobbes: They were prolly pissed because he didn't bring a bucket of KFC too
asciilifeform: the streams exist solely to be xored together into a pad
a111: Logged on 2017-10-11 14:25 phf: but at the same time it's handy strawman: ~web of trust~ is broken, because our take on it is a piece of shit. i thought that's some pantsuit pattern discussed elsewhere
mircea_popescu: if you get to double your heads, so does eve : now she has knowledge of a segment half size in each stream. tada.
asciilifeform: proposed item is that if using 1 stream, knowledge of a segment of plaintext gives you something valuable to work with; if using 2+ -- nothing ☟︎
asciilifeform: ftr i dun particularly like this style of mechanism. it is suggested solely as continuation of the theme from linked thread, where 'make best of a cpu-poor situation with existing algos'
mircea_popescu: leaving us with this situation where "a different hash function" is not even a meaningful mathematical construction.
