ascii_field: (you have
the rifle, but izhevsk still has
the shells)
ascii_field: but has
to not only at least occasionally work,
mircea_popescu: understand : reversing
the secular
trend from "Factory"
to "household" is worth pretty much any sacrifice.
ascii_field: gives it a chinese 'great leap forward backyard steel furnace' flavour
though.
mircea_popescu: in our case, if 1% of
the sheets are printed correctly, we're golden
mircea_popescu: what i mean is : currently,
the fabs regard a printer
that ruins 1% of
the sheets as disastrous.
mircea_popescu: jurov: if it's possible
to place 4 such
transistors on mm2
then z80 would fit into 20cm2 <<
this, basically, is my point. 20 sqcm is not really a big deal. and
the number of people who might do it just
to play
the original Chaos on
their pet rock is not negligible.
mircea_popescu: jurov: lol good discussion started from
the z80. now, what if we start with piece of germanium/galena/carborundum/whatever << si carbide prolly most promising, or maybe some particular graphite formulations.
danielpbarron: it was
the solid state one; probably why it still works
danielpbarron: the drive popped out as a result of
the fall, and its connecting bracket also came out a bit; but it's setting new best height now, so all is fine i suppose
ascii_field: (if you have a mechanical drive connected,
that's another matter)
ascii_field: danielpbarron: ought
to survive a fall from airplane.
there is nothing shock-sensitive inside.
danielpbarron: so apparently a pogo can survive a fall
to
the floor from about 3 feet while running; on a related note, not all devices ship with
the same length ethernet cable
pete_dushenski: but i guess hanging out here
trains one's eye after a while
pete_dushenski: otherwise, without new
taxes or program cuts, not possible
ascii_field: 'Apps like
TextSecure and Silent
Text are secure alternatives
to SMS messages, while Signal, RedPhone and Silent Phone encrypt voice communications. ' << finally
the mask falls off, and we know
that a usg muppet wrote
that article.
pete_dushenski: which continues
to be possible because of aforementioned wealth dismantling
ascii_field: that's
the only actual design goal of
the system
ascii_field: no, it works in
the sense
that
the folks in control, are still amply supplied with whores and blow
pete_dushenski: to
the extent
that no one is watching
the dismantling of
their wealth, sure
pete_dushenski: but i guess
the usg is just a marketing machine at
this point
ascii_field: to peddle
the notion
that
the sim keys matter for any purpose whatsoever is either
the act of a complete illiterate on
the subject, or a usg stooge.
pete_dushenski: doesn't even seem like
there's room
to make it easier
to intercept
ascii_field: there is no meaningful crypto between endpoints and
this is mandatory, by design
pete_dushenski: 'and we'll help
to write new regulations which we'll
then abide by'
ascii_field: pete_dushenski: all mobile phones use
toy crypto - and, as if
this were not enough, call is carried as plaintext on
the
telco wire in
the end
Apocalyptic: ascii_field, yeah
there is some
trace of "but 3G and 4G networks are more secure" message in
that piece
ascii_field: the press, rancid mixture of stooges and useful idiots, help
to push
the implication
that 'now we can switch
to keys
that have not yet been stolen, and no more interception'
ascii_field: ergo
this is not why
they stole
the keys (assuming
the snowden document is genuine)
ascii_field: great sim heist <<
transparent nsa smokescreen. gsm uses
toy crypto since day one (usg mandate) and has always been breakable with minimal effort.
☟︎☟︎☟︎ PeterL: so I'm looking at houses near some of
the jobs I'm applying for, I know I really don't want
to live inside Detroit, but 15k for a 4br/2ba house seems
tempting
ascii_field: (must confess
that i have not
tested
that particular incarnation, however. but my pogo has not once overheated or shown any signs of hardware failure. has been running more or less round
the clock since purchase.)
ascii_field: jurov: it's unstable << i'm gonna guess
that
the unstable part is
the proprietary nas app
that comes with 'pogo'
ascii_field: 'multisig' << can we start saying 'key escrow' whenever some moron put
the word 'multisig' ?
ascii_field: jurov:
the 'pogo' you found is
the one without sata port.
pete_dushenski: let's say in
the soviet style used for nukes and satellites
pete_dushenski: i'll keep using your moon nazi example because it's so darned useful here:
trust isn't complete, but limited
to one domain
assbot: Gemalto also makes OpenPGP smart cards - I have one. We really need a OpenPGP v2
that supports multisig; right now I'm
trusting Gemalto.
thestringpuller: cause
this asks of
those working with enemy (at some point after recovery)
to keep watchful eye, which means you don't really
trust him
thestringpuller: pete_dushenski: war ends, enemy loses, how does republic
trust enemy at all not
to back stab Kahn style?
jurov: i already have enough problems with cantankerous rpi's
that are more stable when overclocked.. guess i'll pass
this one
thestringpuller: pete_dushenski: how about hypothetical enemy who is competent who just wants
to straight up smash bitcoin
jurov: ^ apparently
this ships in
the EU
assbot: Amazon.com: Pogoplug Media Sharing Device - Remote Access
to Your Media - Black: Computers & Accessories ... (
http://bit.ly/17wgI1i )
pete_dushenski: but as with nazi case,
the
tune can change if a suitable use case is found
thestringpuller: In La Serenissima, enemy is always enemy. Do not
think reality exists where Gavin earns real
trust.
pete_dushenski: lenovo re: superfish: "we have
thoroughly investigated
this
technology and do not find any evidence
to substantiate security concerns"
PeterL: pete_dushenski: "not
that
this is
the worst
thing
to be have foisted upon you" << lose either be or have
pete_dushenski: trusted parties will stick
together and only play nice when it's +ev
pete_dushenski: any friendships or peace agreements are
temporary conveniences
thestringpuller: pete_dushenski: well allies and enemies are generally relative. I
think La Serenissima creates a republic where it dictates
the scene.
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski:
The way it is hard makes it fun. Eating pinecones also hard, not fun.
thestringpuller: pete_dushenski:
That's a great question I do not have an answer for.
thestringpuller: a sci fi novel/movie where humans are unable
to have children
ben_vulpes: but ffs read
tlp -
there's no actually knowing anything about
the numbers or what
they mean
PeterL: but
the birth rate is going down
lobbes: <ben_vulpes> average age of childbirth goes up in america, all sorts of mental disfunctions go up in america. << couldn't
this also be ascribed
to a higher birth-rate?
ben_vulpes: danielpbarron: you can google yourself, i'm not actually in a
theological debate here.
danielpbarron: ben_vulpes, i don't recall
that; could you cite chapter/verse?
ben_vulpes: and what about
that whole "walked with god for 200 years" schtick, hm?
danielpbarron: the
time it
takes for
the earth
to go all
the way around
the sun
PeterL: maybe somebody mistranslated a
time unit somewhere along
the way?
danielpbarron: i
think by
the
time of Abraham it had gone down quite a bit
though
ben_vulpes: danielpbarron: mk well, rock of salt
the size of an asteroid and all
that.
ben_vulpes: medicalization of individuality factored out, if
the numbers are
to believed and aren't a cultural artifact i'm guessing
that increased age of conception is driving some of
the increase (if it even exists)
ben_vulpes: as
the machinery wears out, it...wears out.
ben_vulpes: no, i'm
thinking
this is all anecdata.
