BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> what, evil empire can't afford 100GB/s forever ? << Can't because plausible deniaility

mircea_popescu: https://www.reddit.com/r/Buttcoin/comments/3kzsk3/subscriptions_up_400_in_a_certain_censored/ << stolfi stumbles on "reddit makes up random numbers, displays them throughout the site", infers something about some dude he doesn't like.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> mircea_popescu: but i was hoping to hear some principle, as in 'we oughtn't give away morsels to strangers except when f(x)=y' << Embrace the machine when y(x)=
mircea_popescu: i do not think strangers are worth anything anyway, and i don't think trying to find out how much they're worth is a sane use of resources.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: but i was hoping to hear some principle, as in 'we oughtn't give away morsels to strangers except when f(x)=y'
mircea_popescu: so, "why aren't you doing homework ?" "i dun feel like it" "how come you're going out ? i thought you didn't feel like it ?" "now i do."
mircea_popescu: understand, the "public is worthless" argument isn't there to be wielded against me. it's just there for ME exclusively to wield against anyone else.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: [...] but what i can't see is why operate qntra, trilema, phuctor, etc. if this. << why not ?
shinohai: Doesn't seem worth it to me.
shinohai: I don't socialize there, I just lurk and read.

BingoBoingo doesn't think the utility propositions offered by present electric cars measure up to the original Chevy Silverado hybrid
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> oh hey if it isn't the ddos bot << Seriously they seem to be back without Phuctor to fuck with
asciilifeform: oh hey if it isn't the ddos bot
BingoBoingo: I haven't found that yet. Prolly ought to order used book, because damned if I am trusting this to pdf

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=15-09-2015#1275572 << i can see this perspective. but what i can't see is why operate qntra, trilema, phuctor, etc. if this. ☝︎
ben_vulpes: myeah because coffeescript on node.js with mongodb and a half-baked orm wasn't considered a risk
mircea_popescu: whyte guys can't say ho!

mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=15-09-2015#1275398 << well you don't yet know if run by tards or run by people who just got kidnapped etc. ☝︎
ben_vulpes: don't put it past fox, ofc, but...that guy's a 'comedian'.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes isn't that guy's name fox ? hence fox news ?
mircea_popescu: im sorry alf, i can't count this as anything.
mircea_popescu: looky. you familiar with that theory that you can't have a fighter jet as a birthday present ? same principle. hypothesis only exists as part of a triad : phenomenon under examination (or set of constraints ; or again paradigm or w/e) + hypothesis + prediction set.
mircea_popescu: think that hitler didn't manage to give democracy such a pair of black eyes as the us populace did.
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=15-09-2015#1275353 << you are not proposing "an arsonist". there isn't another place for the us to go. you are proposing the arson school of home improvement. this, i've yet to observe in practice. outside of pashtuns taken into city dwellings forcibly, or, as the case may be, ustards forced into civilisation against their will. ☝︎
mats: qntra doesn't have to host the files, merely clearsig with hash
ascii_field: these folks don't bend.
mats: I frankly don't see how muslims are a problem for moscow.
mats: isis doesn't need to destroy usg to survive
mats: yes, in the sense that arsonist doesn't set fire to all routes of own escape
shinohai: ;;later tell davout btcjam kinda touchy aren't they?
shinohai: Well anton_osika threats didn't work ...
ascii_field: top-heavy folks don't do well on unicycle
mod6: that's why i initially liked it too! but alas, if you can't grow TB or BT, then it gets hairy at 80 cols.
mircea_popescu: ah i thought it was something you brewed. somehow i thought graphviz won't do it.
shinohai: But the contract wasn't between kraken was it?
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: aha - isn't it beautiful? it looks exactly like the graph in my head when i wrote 'v'
BingoBoingo: anton_osika: And further to the point, I don't think Kraken is in any position to attest to anything seeing how it is the USG appointed tool for distributing MtGox's carcass
BingoBoingo: anton_osika: That doesn't seem to solve the problem of inability to sign a delivery address with that public key, even if Kraken attests to it.
punkman: shinohai: your master key hadn't signed the subkeys? how does that happen?
shinohai: ascii_field: no one walked out with it, just wasn't self-signed? Was using old email.
ascii_field: shinohai: didn't somebody walk out with your key ?
mod6: well, can't get the directional thing correct unless I use graphviz :/ http://thebitcoin.foundation/misc/vpatch-nodes.png
mats: hasn't happened yet
thestringpuller: otherwise drug dealers wouldn't actively snitch on each other
thestringpuller: i still don't think a meatwot can exist
thestringpuller: re: meatwot, don't think one exist since memory if fallible
mircea_popescu: so then don't mix improperly.
mircea_popescu: for as long as you don't have a method to make them laugh, you're not to epxect to be paid for your "Comedian services".
mircea_popescu: anyway. this entire "if you only got one and don't know how you got it, either - you therefore must publish" thing is exactly because that's how one learns.
mircea_popescu: apparently the web doesn't have the quote. something like "my dear, i'm going out to find my pride. and if i ever find it, we'll see if it's still worth a damn to either of us."
ascii_field: i think it is necessary to put on magic glasses, which i don't have, to see 'poor inheritors'
mircea_popescu: or else he can not make them, just found some meteor, in which case he has no business being a seller. because nobody may sell what he can't make.
mircea_popescu: it's provably the best usage, if you don't secrete it.
mircea_popescu: and if seller doesn't want to burn one, seller can just ask (PRIVATELY) friends to rate it.
ascii_field: i won't.
mircea_popescu: suppose someoine who isn't us registers 0day_bourbaky in the wot.
mircea_popescu: for all you know it can literally say "i don't trust him".
ascii_field: let's say it does not. so i renege and pastebin the exploit i just sold. vendor negrates me: '-10, poopyhead, can't say why publicly'
ascii_field: at least if you don't have an army.
mircea_popescu: wot doesn't require this.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field> and what is ~his~ assurance that i won't immediately pastebin the goods << you ever heard of teh wot ?
mats: i don't have any 0days.
mats: none at all. isn't it exciting?
ascii_field: and what is ~his~ assurance that i won't immediately pastebin the goods
mats: someone who isn't me.
ascii_field: and it isn't like a schmuck from the street can get 20k as it is now.
ascii_field: mats: and yes, i have something that i know is worth $10M but since i don't have blue blood i can only get a hundy for it, i would MUCH prefer to burn it.
ascii_field: punkman: i don't think this is actually possible. see log.
mircea_popescu: then we can't have rule of law, can we.
mircea_popescu: "Hess said that data currently available on investigations, including the annual wiretap report indicating that agents encountered encryption only a handful of times during the course of the year, is simply wrong." << it is simply wrong, because it never figures in court matter, because they parallel construct to all hell and don't know how to do it well
mircea_popescu: (you're ugly, she wasn't.)
mircea_popescu: listen up raj your mother-s a whore go back to india : you don't fucking get to score the questions
kakobrekla: >The ETH scam won't see 2016 < isnt this a negative bet?
mircea_popescu: i don't recall seeing that before.
mircea_popescu: http://qntra.net/2015/09/appeals-court-denies-dotcom-request-for-extradition-hearing-delay/ <<< ahahaah what in the ever loving fuck! so the us has been derping for four years, on printed money. this guy finally got his accounts (HIS!!) back in july and now he can't have an extensionb because... THE CASE IS TOO COMPLEX ?!
assbot: Logged on 14-09-2015 21:46:56; mats: fun fact: gpg's serialization layer uses s-expressions rather than asn.1 and as a result, despite being hand-rolled in C, there doesn't appear to be any memory corruption in canonical mode
mircea_popescu: <deedbot-> [BitBet Bets Bets] 11.28000000 BTC on 'No' - The ETH scam won't see 2016 << whoa that's some decent bang for a buck. ty internets.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field i don't need to lay an egg to tell you this one's rotten.
BingoBoingo: <ascii_field> mircea_popescu: go and grow perfect si crystal, and do a perfect litho on it, and come back ? << ANd biology isn't relevant to Bitcoin?

BingoBoingo: At least half the time thrown footballs don't get caught anyways
ascii_field: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=15-09-2015#1274708 << they don't forget - how could they, living in their mother's houses. but they do, afaik, see it as something like a natural disaster, rather than malfeasance ☝︎
assbot: Logged on 15-09-2015 14:52:55; mircea_popescu: however, back in the day when 9 oiut of 10 bridges DIDNT stay up, there didn't even exist bridgebuilding as a distinct and named activity.

mircea_popescu: (for the record the book isn't very good, but hey. pulp fiction._
mircea_popescu: and then one needn't explain why interest rates are 20-50% pa for some schmucks, and yet "0.0%" for thje fed.
mircea_popescu: heck you can't even take a notebook in there.
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=14-09-2015#1274048 << perhaps these people also don't understand how p2p works. ☝︎
assbot: Logged on 14-09-2015 18:09:08; ascii_field: but it is very clear, from their www, that it is a 'if you have to ask for prices, you can't afford this' affair.
