mircea_popescu: ahem. 9 digits are going
to be sufficient for 300mn people ?
mircea_popescu: "What is Social Security Number (SSN) Randomization?
The project is a forward looking initiative of
the Social Security Administration (SSA)
to help protect
the integrity of
the SSN by establishing a new randomized assignment methodology. SSN Randomization will also extend
the longevity of
the nine-digit SSN nationwide."
☟︎ decimation: asciilifeform: look in
the corner of his computer room - looks like a radio
transmitter above his o-scope
decimation: the whole system
tends
to inject bezzlars randomly
throughout
the 'real' economy
decimation: asciilifeform: right,
the banks don't give a shit because 1.)
they generally don't get stuck with
the bill and 2.) when
they do, usg prints
them up some bezzlars
mircea_popescu: well, you may not believe
this or like
this, but... my banking depends on my gpg signature o.O
decimation: it is certainly one way
that wealth is is
transferred
to
the 'deserving' - robin hood style
decimation: asciilifeform:
the inevitable conclusion is
that
the banks/usg do not mind criminals making money off
the fucktarded system
decimation: somehow
this is not
the problem, it's
the fact
that derps can't keep
the ssn 'secret' is
the problem
decimation: similarly,
they can present
themselves
to
the local doctor as you and send you medical bills
decimation: in
the us, if someone has your name, address, and ssn
they can apply for 'credit' on your behalf
mircea_popescu: decimation well... secret in
the sense you're supposed
to keep your genitals secret neh ?
decimation: the bigger issue is
the fact
that you have
to keep your social security number a 'secret'
decimation: they said
they would send a special email later when
they "figure out" if I am affected or not
danielpbarron: i can't copy paste it easily right now, but it's
the same as
that asciilifeform
ben_vulpes: danielpbarron:
that gets me
two up on you
danielpbarron: this is
the 2nd
time i've sucessfully installed gentoo on something
danielpbarron: the only
thing i changed in
that file is
the make install
thing
danielpbarron: i had
to change "make install"
to "make install_sw" for
the openssl compilation
mircea_popescu: !rate lobbes 1 Well... he did
teach himself how
to view a directory...
danielpbarron: i will soon be
testing a non-bastard one
that i compiled myself
mircea_popescu: "From
the Desk of Joseph R. Swedish President and CEO Anthem, Inc." << "we now act just like warrior forum scammers - it's
the industree"
mircea_popescu: "dear sheep. we lost your mother. we paid off
the government agent for a fix.
the fix is in. fuck you."
ben_vulpes: none of
the portatronic builds are wedging like
this, right?
mircea_popescu: "Once
the attack was discovered, Anthem immediately made every effort
to close
the security vulnerability, contacted
the FBI and began fully cooperating with
their investigation. Anthem has also retained Mandiant, one of
the world’s leading cybersecurity firms,
to evaluate our systems and identify solutions based on
the evolving landscape."
mod6: so I'll keep digging in
the blk0001.dat file
to see what I can find in
there.
mod6: hmm. anyway, ok. anyway,
that's pretty much
the latest.
mod6: yeah, i mean, as recently as
the 26th of january I was able
to full sync and send/receive with: v053+patches { 1, rm_rf_upnp, 2, 3, 4, & 6 } and other people have gotten past it as well. so its not consistant as far as I can
tell.
trinque: ben_vulpes: I don't realy want
to...
trinque: I guess I could just ask blockchain.info for
the confirmations in
the meantime
mircea_popescu: mod6 oh
the mysterious mp stuff, most of which dates from 2012
trinque: that drive got destroyed in
the process; blockchain on
the server's now at like aug 2013
trinque: mircea_popescu: yeh need
the confirmation
though
to publish
mod6: you
testing on your end?
mod6: well, im just
trying
to pin it down
to where we go wrong.
ben_vulpes: i
think mp's implication is
that 168001 is diddled
mod6: maybe its 168,001
that's hosing us.
mod6: something in block 168,001 makes it puke perhaps from
that failed VerifySignature
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes most recent openssl which bitcoind imports decided
to accept as valid padded sigs
ben_vulpes: what was
the story with a certain version of ssl breaking some kinds of btc signatures?
mircea_popescu: mod6 a remote possibility was
that your problem somehow came from a bad block,
tho i have/had no idea wtf
that'd be
mod6: and bag-o-snakes doesn't
turn up 168,001 which makes sense, since it chokes on somethingthere
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu:
the man's
talking about btcd, not bitcoind
mircea_popescu: trinque: will my btcd still fart
transactions at other nodes if I haven't finished syncing
the blockchain? << yes.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes: phillipsjk: where did you get
that key, anyways? did you buy it? << fwiw i believe
teh guy's genuine.
mircea_popescu: because
they had
to spend
their
time instead discussing how young men should wear a
tie.
mircea_popescu: see,
they had 30 years locked up, and AS A CONDITION OF
THIS LOCK UP
they couldn't market it.
decimation: they had 30 years of usg/bezzlar computers locked up and were
too retarded
to market it

the 1MB limit is not
to stop spam
decimation: re: IBM in
the 90's <
they didn't 'face disruption',
they made one of
the largest mistakes in business history
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes didja get on
the part of
teh log where
the entire d&t
think you were discussing with danielpbarron etc is dispelled ?
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: "process man" << i guess more accurate
than i ever
thought
mircea_popescu: trinque: you want
to build your visa? build it on bitcoin, but don't systemd
the
thing and decide it must have a visa built in <<
that's not a bnad angle.
ben_vulpes: <asciilifeform> mircea_popescu: water works surprisingly well << oh let us not get ben_vulpes started on
the wonders of steam
BingoBoingo: IBM's probably one of
the largest benefactors of fiat world inflation
mircea_popescu: but in
the insane story of post-qe world, it makes it's own sort of sense.
decimation: as far as I can gather from employee comments,
the 'thriving' at IBM basically consists of brokering indians
to write shit code
BingoBoingo: decimation: Sure, keeps making more dollars for doing less
things.
assbot: Logged on 05-02-2015 23:51:15; mircea_popescu: "The one great example is IBM, which faced disruption and existential
threat from PCs in
the early 1990s and emerged stronger and is still a
thriving company. "
mircea_popescu: "you can probably extract some work out of
the desperate movements of half people in
the environment'
