decimation: yeah
as Mr. Yarvin enjoys pointing out, the past is dead, cannot live again
decimation: asciilifeform: such a development would be welcome,
as it would require a press release with names attached
decimation: this strikes me
as more limiting than physics
mircea_popescu: they run it because they're not smart enough to even figure there's away out of the paper bag,
as a principle.
mircea_popescu: just, they found ways to repackage cheaper shit
as food.
mircea_popescu: it has to be said, again and again, lest anyone forgets : this was designed
as a prototype.
mircea_popescu: for FUCKING OBVIOUS reasons, such
as... the involvement of pi! this is true for curves too.
mircea_popescu: <decimation> Is there a similar procedure for ECDSA? << sort-of. the exponent is ideally chosen randomly
as well
as the index.
decimation: I guess my question above (rephrased) is this: does the secp256k1 algorithm allow for any arbitrary 256 bit vector to be used
as a key? Or is there a restricted set that will be more secure than other cases?
decimation: probably about the same kind of stuff
as the us version
danielpbarron: well my having not done it doesn't matter
as i'm no longer a lord
thestringpuller: today I heard the phrase: "Encryption
as a Service" used

mircea_popescu: <mats> i get the impression that most americans accept
as fact that torture is ineffective << for sure. do you know what else they accept ? that "free markets don't work" and that "socialism is democracy" and all sorts of similar things. do you know why they accept them ? because they want to believe. 16 yo 7/10 valley girl also believes she's "beautiful" and that "she really has a chance". why wouldn't she,
as far
as mircea_popescu: it's like saying "wifebeating works
as a matrimonial pacification tool".
undata: there's a distinction here between the guy that forces you to your desk to work, and the guy that jiggles your hand
as you try to write
mats:
as far
as anyone is realistically concerned, they are the second government.
undata: hm,
as part of current incarnation of USG?
mats: i get the impression that most americans accept
as fact that torture is ineffective
mats: anyway, this is probably obvious to everyone, but it should be voiced anyway: torture is definitely useful
as an intelligence tool
mats: I'm really irritated by this nonsense in the media about "torture is useless
as an intelligence tool"

as far
as jobs go, but in the end we invented a shitty version of emacs in the browser in JS
undata: at my old job, we were creating a visual SQL editor
as the primary way of fiddling this envisioned programming environment
undata: things which take lat/lng and desired size of crater
as input
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform incidentally, until such a time
as natural language works for coding, there won't be the "evil ai" whatever guy's worried about.
BingoBoingo: iang: It's the programming environment that shipped on the last of the real Macs. I had picked some up at an auction my school had and was playing with them
as my first computers
BingoBoingo: It's old news that popped up in my twatter feed again, prolly
as part of some cold PR war between the web wallet turds
mircea_popescu: promote a particularly insane view of hiring, where to hire someone for an hour is essentially a nonsexual camwhoring arrangement. you're to tell the op what to do,
as micromanagement-y
as moving their own hands.
assbot: Logged on 02-06-2014 18:30:38; mircea_popescu: Up until recently it was practically impossible to become embroiled into any sort of dealing with the subgroup, their ownership being strictly assumed and their lives strictly subsumed by the corporations competent at dealing with the human cattle : fastfood providers, supermarkets, the government. Both
as employers and providers these specialised bureaucracies have the necessary tools, including cat

mircea_popescu: how's property register work other than
as a public matter.
mircea_popescu: so your sworn testimony here is that out of however many tenants, not one has a working smartphone ? or what is it ? computers don't really so much enter into it
as far
as i can see.
mircea_popescu: The20YearIRCloud looky at what it says. "If you believe him you're stuck crediting a large pile of very improbable things, such
as that no one out of dozen low income renters is interested in cashing ~50 bux worth of free BTC, or that buyers somehow materialize on Havelock to buy shares at 2x the going price for a single IPO day."

mats: mircea_popescu:
http://pastebin.com/E5NU7nXx and
as for subtext, idk that there is any ... the man is powerful and developing a young woman, and wants people at the hotel to know it.
mircea_popescu: "Anyone who plans to waste the shareholders' money can undercut the competition. The easiest thing in the world is to charge too little, it is just
as easy
as spending too much of other people's money. Customers will flock to those who do because they are giving away some, if not all, of the value for free. Somebody may even pick up the underpriced goods and sell them at a profit when the stupid company ceases to ex
mircea_popescu: reflect that it's too bad we gave anyone over 40 the vote" <<< for what it's worth, this is a woesome misrepresentation of the male. it's the beta male fighing for cotnrol, about
as relevant in the discussion
as the fat female fighting for reproductive equality.
mircea_popescu: "
as it's what I built & delivered 18 years back ;-)" o that's nice.
mircea_popescu: i like this guy, but he has the communication abilities of an engineer, and
as a result ends up with the local minimums ffs.
mircea_popescu: so the tardstalk schmucks were going around acting
as if this utter bum is somehow a businessman.
jurov: <adlai> [20141208 01:41] jurov: what happens when a coinbr account has assets but no btc when you need to charge the management fee? << for now unpaid fees just keep piling up
as negative balance
mircea_popescu: punkman well yes, "fairness"
as misunderstood by the butthurt parade is going against a hard limit of the universe.
BingoBoingo: ascii_in_bed: Done

hanbot: Anduck: why so hostile? << stop interpreting gracious attempts to refine your idiocy into something usable
as "hostile". people who don't make things
as easy
as possible for you aren't your enemies, they're your teachers. refusing to engage in the lesson ensures you'll stay comfortably stupid.
