tell
the_scourge hey ninjashogun managed
to crap more lines into
the log over a longer

than you. howzat feel?
pete_dushenski: out
the plaintext behind
the hash e6d290a03b70cfa5d4451da444bdea39 was غير مسجل, which is Arabic for "unregistered".
The hex-encoded string for
the same Arabic word is dbedd120e3d3cce1."
pete_dushenski: "Researchers for Moscow-based Kaspersky Lab spent more
than
two weeks
trying
to crack
the MD5 hash using a computer
that
tried more
than 300 billion plaintext guesses every second. After coming up empty-handed,
they enlisted
the help of password-cracking experts, both privately and on
Twitter, in hopes
they would do better. Password crackers Jens Steube and Philipp Schmidt spent only a few hours before figuring
pete_dushenski: "Unraveling a mystery
that eluded
the researchers analyzing
the highly advanced Equation Group
the world learned about Monday, password crackers have deciphered a cryptographic hash buried in one of
the hacking crew's exploits. It's Arabic for "unregistered." "
ben_vulpes: there was
this hilarious embedded ram arms race
ben_vulpes: also had all
the sony cd players
that did mp3s before portable hdds were a
thing
ben_vulpes: i'm in
the
top 12 for
the past
twelve months
cazalla: i opted for
the creative jukebox.. what a piece of shit
that was
ben_vulpes: gotta leave something between
the lines.
mircea_popescu: not just one guy. one guy who systematically hit everyone over
the head with crazy ed's snippers encased in concrete
ben_vulpes: now ives is steering
things and
they're
trumpeting
their solar deals, working on 'watches' and spreading rumors about
tesla acquisitions.
ben_vulpes: apple only worked because
there was one guy at
the helm.
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: what, you
think i don't get
this?
mircea_popescu: <ben_vulpes>
those early ipods were phenomenally well designed. << yes. because
they were built around exactly one core value. "what's
that for ? fuck you, you're not putting
that in here."
mircea_popescu: It's debatable whether keeping potential
terrorists in Cuba is a good idea. But when
the State starts using pyschiatry
to manage
their population... I know you
think I am exaggerrating. I'll bet you're not poor.
mircea_popescu: The system is designed with simply one outcome in mind: keep
the poor with high recidivism rates and minimal social resources in jail-- a sort of half-way house for
the disenfranchised-- until you can't possibly justify it any longer, and
then give
them a quick
trial, accept
the guilty plea ("what guilty plea?") and sentence
them
to
time served and probation-- where you can add further controls.
ben_vulpes: the buttons were physically separated from
the scroll wheel
ben_vulpes: this was actually
the best design
they ever produced.
pete_dushenski: re goethe
thing: "a dingo ate my baby" is
the first
thing
that comes
to mind
ben_vulpes: i used nearly every mpwhater whatever object during
that
time
pete_dushenski: i have 11.0.1 on
this machine and even it's far messier and more byzantine
than
the older versions i seem
to recall
ben_vulpes: this is
topologically identical
to
the "Surface" shitshow, where when
the retarded windows
touch ui gets in your way you can get rid of it and go back
to classic windows, with which one interacts with a stylus.
ben_vulpes: and
the old ui returns, nearly unmolested
ben_vulpes: if you switch
to "songs" view
then
the right arrow does
the expected
thing
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: highlights
the next album, displaying its
tracklist.
ben_vulpes: another amusing
tidbit from apple's wholesale collapse in quality on
the desktop: no longer does
the right arrow in iToonz skip
to
the next
track.
BingoBoingo: It's alright.
The US peanut butter salmonella scare was
traced back
to birdshit in
the peanut processing plant
Vexual: I
think if brussexels had a look at northern Australian,
they would say 'don't bother'
Adlai: "and many humans will find
themselves
the new horse: unemployable" - cgp grey
ben_vulpes: now
there's a great conspiraci(!)
theory
BingoBoingo: People catch Brucellosis in "Brucellosis Free" states. If I accept
the meta-NSA exists its common name is most likely
the United States Department of Agriculture.
decimation: some folks
think
that
there are beef cows with cjd
too
BingoBoingo: Brains and eggs I remember as being good, but since
this continent has deer with CJD and
the UK had mad cow, have
to settle for making it with pork brains.
decimation: BingoBoingo: ever had beef (ox)
tail soup?
BingoBoingo: If
there is a part of
the cow
that
tastes more like beef
than
the
tongue I have yet
to meet it.
BingoBoingo: I don't recall. I'm still deep in
the libations
that are getting me over
the meat odometer rollover.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform if metansa exists,
that's why he disappeared :
they hired him.
mircea_popescu: who owns it, becomes a little lord. You want money?
They demand your service. It is
the opposite of owning a stock, where you demand
their service. It's more
than just a concentration of wealth among
the few. It is also a concentration of control, and, more importantly, risk. You may not be able
to profit from it, but if something goes bad, for sure you'll be asked
to pay for it.
mircea_popescu: But now
things are different. Not since
the 1980s, and before
that never, has
there been
this much M&A activity, share buybacks and privatization. While
this boosts share prices in
the short
term, as privateers bid up
the price in a
takeover,
there's a huge downstream cost:
the company is no longer public. You don't get
to profit from it unless you work for it. Each privatized company, or
the private equity firm

that once
they are not in
the job any more
they realize
they don't have nearly as many friends as

they did.
The smarter ones do know
this. And
that's why so many[?] hang onto power. "

then I heard
this podcast:
http://www.econtalk.org/archives/2013/02/glenn_reynolds.html << "Guest: It's funny--one of my friends, who has been a long-term, upper level bureaucrat in Washington said
to me his favorite phenomenon
to see is
these people coming
through
these usually politically-appointed jobs and, he says:
They
think everybody loves
them. And
then
they leave
the job and
they realize

BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> In other words, is it possible
that our enemies judge us by our actions, regardless of intent-- and if you support Ahmadenijad on
TV,
then
that counts-- while we retreat into
the narcissists' hideout of identity-as-declared, where any actions can be disavowed as "not who we are?"" << AKA argument by "FYIAD"

mircea_popescu: asking here--
that we are
the only ones who don't believe
these statements were meaningful?
mircea_popescu: "Here's
the part Americans can't get: why would Iran put
them on
TV when everyone is going
to know it was forced? Unless you are saying
that
the Iranians, and only
the Iranians, are so completely delusional
that
they actually believe
the servicemen were
thankful and apologetic,
then
this show had
to appeal
to some broader audience. Other people had
to believe
this was
the real
thing. Is it possible-- and I'm just
mircea_popescu: Iranians, and
they are not heroes. But I can see
that it is ego protective, I can see why
they might
take
this perspective."
mircea_popescu: hose soldiers were
thinking, "look, I know who I am, I know I'm not a coward, I'm not helping
the Iranians, but I have
to do whatever is necessary
to get out of
this mess." What
they are saying is
that
they can declare who
they are, and what
they do has no impact on it. "I am a hero, regardless of how I act."
That's
the narcissist fallacy. Whatever
they may
think about
themselves,
the fact is
that
they did help

mircea_popescu: "Here's an example I fear no one will understand.
The Iranians
took 15 British soldiers hostage.
The soldiers surrendered without a fight (ironically, so as not
to start an international incident), and
then pretended
to go along with
the Iranians.
They did
the song and dance "we are bad, we are imperialists, Ahmadinejad is good, we're sorry,
thanks for being so nice
to us" and were eventually released. So I'm sure

too well
decimation: ah, well
this is
the right place
to learn
decimation: mmeyer: what made you want
to join #bitcoin-assets? It's interesting
to learn where folks come from.
BingoBoingo: <mmeyer> I'm confused, new
to irc << Many people are indeed new compared
to IRC. Meat odometer just rolled over and yet IRC is still older
than me
mmeyer: I'm confused, new

two over
