mircea_popescu: not only are your odds of finding a like minded soul vanishingly tiny, but you're deluged in all the fat idiots who think that they may "hate men", as something that's at their disposal, and it's your job and obligation to humor them, because "you're different".
assbot: Love how Zuckerberg talks about books as if they are funky new app he has discovered. From /thetimes http://t.co/rum1YGcSt8
mircea_popescu: i guess the largest shock to noobs is swallowing the actual history of mp-*, as it was.
pete_dushenski: your salary would be based on your skills as applied to this project
mike_c: oh i miss mpoe-pr: "Yes, for as long as you don't try to take them out they're safe."
jurov: it's the same as last month?
asciilifeform: must remind readers that your machines are as 'real' - or unreal - as you are.
asciilifeform: as in something that doesn't have a multitude of undocumented internal sub-cpu cores running fuck knows what
punkman: as in old router/modem thingy?
cazalla: not the app one you download but the paid monthly service, i thought it was more recent but perhaps i am wrong, i bow to your knowledge as a pokemon master
kakobrekla: actually not reading chan to be reminded how all sucks helps as well.
mircea_popescu: "the smaller sum of 18,000 BTC missing presents a still more onerous obstacle than Mt Gox faced in absolute terms as that many Bitcoin are largely unavailable to most people at any price denominated in national currency."
mike_c: <@mircea_popescu> how often has it happened ot you ? << I like your system. But diana was proposing it as bulletproof or panacea for all ills.
kakobrekla: its very welcome as long as its not nonsense.
mircea_popescu: the parcimonious approach is to regard you as grossly unqualified to comment on that topic.
svetlana: I am from another channel where wc- was complaining about the issue. Couldn't suggest anything but not perceiving cloak as the solution, to him.
svetlana: I might suggest not using cloaks as the solution here. Using cidr entries in access list, and /cs why, it's quite trivial to look through them. We don't want to "teach" whoever is ddosing here that -- he'd keep doing his thing.
kakobrekla: [02:25:27] <kakobrekla> freenode is broken by default as it will show your ip plainly
kakobrekla: i suspekt ddos is back on chan as well
asciilifeform fesses up that he worked on it, on and off, for some months, so as to have a 'killerapp' application for cardano when the latter is unwrapped
asciilifeform: this is because the entire fpga concept, as imagined by n00bs to the subject, does not actually work.
asciilifeform: punkman: [fpga thread] would MIPS be easier than x86? or does the problem lie in connecting the thing to outside world (fast RAM, peripherals, etc) << problem is that you can't make so much as a barrel shifter on any extant fpga without using a closed turd from the vendor - actually, two turds: one in the logic library part itself, other - the synthesis toolchain
diana_coman: on some days I admit I might send the cats and dogs and site to all hell and as a result not post
cazalla: gaming on iphone/ipad seems to be more about positioning adverts next to controls or other interface options as to guarantee misclicks
mircea_popescu: i'd be very surprised if it needs to wait for 2025. i doubt one in three english speakers i meet are not autistic as it is.
davout: i didn't think of the requirement to sign as an issue actually
davout: i meant if you raped the server for its key, you may as well have the salt and stuff
mircea_popescu: in the design as is, now you reject my junk because i don't know the salts.
pete_dushenski: almost as satisfying as watching wall street face plant
assbot: Logged on 05-01-2015 00:46:15; ascii_modem: folks who bring up fpga as a solution - straight to ebay, pick up a board, see if you can bake so much as an i386 compatible, with at least the original's performance, -without- the fpga vendor's closed libraries
xanthyos: i've moved most to electrum wallet as recommended by BingoBoingo
ben_vulpes: watching the thing scroll by as my bouncer replays it makes things look longer than they are
Fun: as to reality if drunk person mistakes tree for say a monster he will hack it
thestringpuller: as of now you don't
ascii_modem: as riotously funny as butugychag.
mircea_popescu: about as pleasant a thing as fifty years worth of dilbert rolled up in one fat joint.
punkman: mircea_popescu: it was DDoS'd/hacked, I got some PHP hosting as solution for DDoS. Existing version can be backup withing 24 hours if someone wants to administer it/protect from ddos/etc. Nobody wants to do that, so I haz to write PHP.
Fun: who in turn seems to packed and sold it as derivatives
ascii_modem: that is what law now is. to be thought of in the same light as ebola.
PinkPosixPXE: I want to make sur eI can offer both offshore and us hosting as well
PinkPosixPXE: but I want high end and ddos mitigation, etc. available as well
PinkPosixPXE: I want 10gbps, but I can offer low end as well
PinkPosixPXE: I might buy at 250.. as long as it keeps trending back up
ben_vulpes: there are clever things you could do with hashing the order and using that as a private key for receipts or something like that...
PinkPosixPXE: in fact, I've been buying more as it's gone down
PinkPosixPXE: ben_vulpes: I might need you (or some of you guys) as resources regarding I ensure I setup my bitcoin merchanting properly
PinkPosixPXE: as well as DDOS mitigation, and of course ipv6
PinkPosixPXE: and I plan to offer BTC as payment
PinkPosixPXE: and a null route is put in place as well
cazalla: mircea_popescu, i was first! as they say, some people are so far behind the race that they actually believe they are leading :P
mircea_popescu: just as an idle exercise, imagine how that article'd have sounded if the criminals were some usg agency, stealing the woman's drive and not giving it back.
mircea_popescu: there is no such thing as "plagiarism" anymore than there's burning bushes or actual sides of christmeat.
mircea_popescu: ascii_modem: 'plagiarism' may be a 'sin of the flesh', but plagiarists exist just the same as 'wankers' exist. << not what i meant. what i meant was the construct's nonsense.
ascii_modem: with them, it is quite the same as using 'evil' modern silicon
ascii_modem: folks who bring up fpga as a solution - straight to ebay, pick up a board, see if you can bake so much as an i386 compatible, with at least the original's performance, -without- the fpga vendor's closed libraries ☟︎
adlai: "Florida law makes an exception for in-person communications when the parties do not have a reasonable expectation of privacy in the conversation, such as when they are engaged in conversation in a public place where they might reasonably be overheard. If you are operating in Florida, you may record these kinds of in-person conversations without breaking the law." <- pretty sure that covers anything
adlai: kinda like championing OO, where appropriate, as a special case of closures, assuming your language supports the latter
adlai: ... as a trivial extension when your language has a MOP
ascii_modem: punkman: mpeg2 license key <<< afaik -all- extant arm cpu include sub-cores running mystery turds, such as that one.
ascii_modem: 'plagiarism' may be a 'sin of the flesh', but plagiarists exist just the same as 'wankers' exist.
ascii_modem: mircea_popescu:asciilifeform: the confucian kingdoms breathe plagiarism like air. <<< "plagiarism", much like "sins of the flesh", is a construction intended to work as a tool for a very peculiar purpose. <<< i spent years working with folks some of whom fit the pattern: 'yes i got phd for washing glassware for advisor, who let me crib, who in turn cribbed from dr xxxxx himself, of the academy of turdiences'
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller: it's funny how Gavin is all "I want bitcoin to compete with Visa/Mastercard", when anyone in Payment Processing knows those systems are seriously nigga rigged as is. << nobody expects gavin to say something sensible anymore than they'd expect ronald mcdonald to.
mircea_popescu: xanthyos: thestringpuller: what if we created a #bitcoin-assets pokerstars home game club and had a way that every account generated was tied to a gribble-authed account, and use it as both a gaming platform as well as a record-keeping ledger for off-blockchain track of wins and losses <<< check it out kakobrekla
mircea_popescu: punkman: http://www.pokerstars.gr/en/poker/room/support/pwt-faq/ <- mega lol <<< heh, as if anyone will EVER pay taxed gambling.
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: a street criminal can be smart, not the same as being visionary or being clever :)
mircea_popescu: fluffypony: cazalla: Gordhan is a smart man, but they're doing exactly as expected - they're just going to copy what everyone else is doing << your definition of smartness is very tolerant.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla he probably even struggles in opposition of bathing as much as the usual dog.
kakobrekla: <mircea_popescu> asciilifeform: kakobrekla: b/c man living as man was meant to << seriously, man was meant to live like that ?! i dunno... < prolly seeing different things in the pic
mircea_popescu: he;s doing as much of that as he possibly can.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: kakobrekla: b/c man living as man was meant to << seriously, man was meant to live like that ?! i dunno...
mircea_popescu: such as, the womenz. maybe he ran into a few adolescent bosniac sluts on his recon visit
thestringpuller: not as novel tho
adlai: mircea_popescu: you may be overestimating the maturity of my project... it's existed outside my head, as running code, for under 9 months; and has only turned profitable during the latter half
mircea_popescu: why do you propose it as a good.
mircea_popescu: generally, people tend to hurl as insults/bombs/damage to others what they're most afraid of themselves. there's a very good reason color revolutions exist, and it has nothing to do with ukraine or gaddafi.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: they go out, same as in usg-sponsored 'colour revolutions', because 'there's action tonight' << quite. which is why it's so lulzy to watch.
mircea_popescu: you propose this as an obvious good.
adlai: you could point out that i've fallen short of pure greed by not accepting investment, paying dividends, and retaining some fee as a personal profit
mircea_popescu: as opposed to you know, one single person (presumably you).
mircea_popescu: if they were merely offered a fair salary for their work they wouldn't take it because "it's not enough to live on". as if "living" is somehow fixed and god ordered that black guy in missouri must live better than black guy in senegal.
cazalla: mircea_popescu, but would the son that inherits them be just as capable as the father who accumulated them?

cazalla: but that's not applicable in every scenario as far as i can tell, an example being someone who is geographically removed from their cold storage
cazalla: whilst out walking, i got to thinking - as the amount of bitcoin lost to theft decrease, at what point does it become a game of simply killing people who are known to be large holders resulting in no-one knowing the private key as to reduce the supply and increase the value of ones own holding occur?

mircea_popescu: these guys are 100 to 1000x as productive as a "normal american", so the stuff they write is not necessarily comprehensible to ordinary mortals.
BingoBoingo: <ascii_modem> cut-throats from a mythical (but loosely - nk) land are sent to usa. they look young and always masquerade as schoolchildren in the later grades. << I've never really trusted Children
mircea_popescu: "The NSA's strength as they disclose here is not math or science advances that allow them to seemingly magically break strong encryption, but the size and scale of their operations along with their ability to recruit collaborators like Microsoft and subvert standards committees."
ascii_modem: cut-throats from a mythical (but loosely - nk) land are sent to usa. they look young and always masquerade as schoolchildren in the later grades.
mircea_popescu: it only appears as a soup because their head's barely functional.
mircea_popescu: what is this thing where faux intellectuals look at the soup of symbols their destructured intellects float aimlessly through as a sort of primal matter to be cast into random shapes ?
mircea_popescu: "• When the British got tossed out of their American Colonies, they did all they could, using a combination of import preferences and British “soft power,” to bolster the plantation economy of the American South, helping set it up as a sort of anti-United States, and the eventual result was the American Civil War."
mircea_popescu: i don't think i've ever observed as much of it as since being here.
mircea_popescu: as clemens aptly points out, aunt polly is a sucker for the "repentant" sinner.

decimation: yeah I read it as pure narcissism masquerading as ideas
mircea_popescu: if someone sent 10mn btc to the black hole, we'll all be even poorer as a result. because reasons.
mircea_popescu: "You begin to wonder if you should feel guilty taking all this money from the poor Congolese — who are now (you must conclude) even poorer as a result." << because that's what money is, right ? a fetish.
