gabriel_laddel: outside of
the communism
thing, I'm unaware of
them being generally stupid, failing
to create and maintain civilization etc.
gabriel_laddel: can you picture a worse
thing for applying
to nsa ? << Is
there something 'wrong' with Russians?
mircea_popescu: ;;later
tell peterl do you measure
the scoobot uptime at all ?
ascii_field: didn't happen with chechen because
they look (to americans - of course) like ordinary europeans
ascii_field: just wait
till somebody hooks up
the uzbeks with
the 'racism racket'
ascii_field: can you picture a worse
thing for applying
to nsa ?
mircea_popescu: trinque no, it's up
there with some soi-dissant feminist derps writing a book on
the "women in Marines history"
trinque: that's right up
there with feminists calling for
the marines' standards
to be lowered so
they can meet
them
ascii_field was
turned down, just as expected, almost certainly for 'too ethnic'
mircea_popescu: gabriel_laddel you're starting
to understand why
the us can't win.
gabriel_laddel:
There is a bunch more of
this nonsense available on
their website. "African Americans in Cryptologic history" in spite of
there not being a single(!) black mathematician.
gabriel_laddel: "Our vision is
to create a workplace environment
that reflects diversity and inclusion in its broadest context and
that ensures every employee has
the opportunity
to reach his or her full potential and is
treated with respect and fairness." -- GEN Keith Alexander - Director NSA/Chief CSS
trinque: should be pretty damn easy
to
tell
that
the
thing's been fucked with
though, given
the output or lack
thereof
gabriel_laddel: I flipped
through an ACM mag
that was lying around
the house and see an employment advertisement for
the NSA on
the back - "The NSA is an equal opportunity employer", and it names some specializations
they're interested in, including "quantum computing" and "discrete mathematics". I visit
the websitef, because lolwtf and find
this:
trinque: aside
the domain constraint, it's not on
that net
trinque: I considered
things like "key/deed pulling guy can't see btcd's RPC"
assbot: Logged on 02-03-2015 21:26:43; ascii_field:
the exchanges are plugged into a pipe
that leads straight
to hell, out of which devils emerge every so often
BingoBoingo: If it wasn't going
to be
targeted it wouldn't be much of a registrar
trinque: dunno, is
this going
to be
the
target of hax at some point? I wrote it as
though it would be
ascii_field: but deedbot just needs a box
that'll stay up, no ?
trinque: I wanted
to write
this in part
to see
that I could accomplish
the "keeping it online" bit
ascii_field: the exchanges are plugged into a pipe
that leads straight
to hell, out of which devils emerge every so often
☟︎ mircea_popescu: writing it is not
the
trick. keeping it online is
the
trick.
ascii_field: must be
trickier
than it looks, writing a deedbot
trinque: ascii_field: rewritten, dunno how many incarnations
there have been
davout: thestringpuller: still
the same communist france pretty much :-)
trinque: I was
thinking it'd be appropriate for it
to announce when
the
tank's getting low
trinque: it will soon be aware of
transactions which have funded it, so people can just
throw it some change when needed
trinque: mircea_popescu: sure
thing
trinque: deedbot has
three
tables in sqlite, message bundle and
transaction
trinque: there needs
to be a word for design choices which open up an infinite space of
taped on features
jurov: wh it rejects
the explo.yt/fmpif stuff?
trinque: the json api
thing, what
the fucking fuck
mircea_popescu: it is. my skin was crawling earlier with
that 2011 feeling of "holy shiot we're back
to writing bitcoin stuff here"
trinque: also writing
things against bitcoin is ass
trinque: I'm gonna make
this
thing real nice; I have more
time
this evening available for it
mircea_popescu: well so now
that you're done with deedbot you can start over on a whole new raft of stuff :D
trinque: mircea_popescu: punkman sent me all
the old deeds
trinque: mircea_popescu: yeh,
these pastebins aren't a great place for history
mircea_popescu: anyway.
this goes
to show exactly wtf
the importance of a WORKING deedbot actrually is.
trinque: none of
those URLs have a paste at
them
trinque: ah I meant in regards
to
the domain limiting
trinque shall dial back
the paranoia a notch
trinque: its actually even more constrained
than
that, as it will reject keys not in assbot's l1 or l2
mircea_popescu: trinque if it's
to prevent abuse in some way,
think
that only voiced people can issue
the command. if
they do something unseemly complain.
mircea_popescu: well in
this case it's plaintext. but srsly, we have no good reason nor a standing policy
to force everyone
to use pastebins we don't own.
thestringpuller: haven't seen you in awhile davout. how's
things on
the other side of
the pond?
davout: mircea_popescu: prolly not having
to regex a gpg signed message out of a webpage
mircea_popescu: trinque what is
the point of
this url restriction business ?
trinque: mircea_popescu: it just doesn't
trust
that domain
mircea_popescu: hanbot please go
through
the foundation lists and deedbot
the various stuff in
there.
trinque: I have gone ahead and published
that first one
assbot: You rated user mpoe on 09-Oct-2014, with a rating of 1, and supplied
these additional notes: Current MPEx account for #bitcoin-assets deed purposes.
trinque: mircea_popescu: not hard
to make
that easier
to use
davout: doesn't it have
to be clearsigned?
trinque: mircea_popescu: has
to be dpaste, pastebin or one other, lemme look
mircea_popescu: in
the "double
take of
today" revue, i hire lawyer, he invites me by his office, sends address, it's on... Pringles Street.
chetty: <mircea_popescu> i don't
think even reagan would have considered - considered! mind you -
trying for a free market in army services.// its not a free market he is
trying its a crony market
gabriel_laddel: mircea_popescu:
the point I originally made is
that
they're not funding people
to convert .pdfs etc. becuase
thats not
the kind of people
they are. I shouldn't have sent 19:04, it adds nothing
to
the conversation.
mircea_popescu: i don't
think even reagan would have considered - considered! mind you -
trying for a free market in army services.
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: this buildup
to mosul is going
to be embarrassing at any rate
mircea_popescu: well,
the principle of x isn't conducive of
the situation of y.
mircea_popescu: gabriel_laddel but you wanted
them
to act on
the principle of x.
mircea_popescu: "you see
this supermodel/actress/whatever ? i fucked her for dinner when she was 15.
think i should go
talk
to her ?"
gabriel_laddel: 19:01 << you don't have
to /say/
that. "We
think
this is a serious overreach of federal power, and ..."
mats: fallujah was fought with many more coalition
troops and
they still suffered serious losses
mircea_popescu: i suppose we should start selling subrsciptions
to
the logs for
the join chiefs of staff
mats: i suspect
they couldn't amass enough willing
troops
mircea_popescu: seeing how
there's nothing in
the past six hours... yeah, i guess
they got raped.
mats: well you can
take
the lack of reporting as a sign
that
the us got
trounced again
mircea_popescu: the last successful us campaign in
the area was done within a few hours.
assbot: Logged on 02-03-2015 18:13:59; gabriel_laddel: simply on
the principle of "fuck
the system, it sucks"
