mircea_popescu: That number isn't
true as it assumes we will immediately be processing 84k
transactions per block which isn't going
to happen."
pete_dushenski: Robert Litan is a nonresident senior fellow at
the Brookings Institution and
the author of “Trillion Dollar Economists.”
pete_dushenski: it must
take years, if not decades of
training
to chock one's brain full of such crud
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: i'm guessing
that
they go
to special schools
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski seriously, someone argued
that "he prices of commodity-based fuels, which are
traded in deep, liquid markets, also
tend
to be more volatile
than
those of renewables, for which
there
tend
to be no separate markets" ?

the wot, not some farcical fencing ceremony...
mircea_popescu: i
tell you, blond inch
tall figurines drawn on a EGA screen waving about swords are no basis for a financial system.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I
think it was some sort of Pro-Brewster agitprop

this'd practically be stuff like
tax filings, court can and does ask
the irs for
that.
mircea_popescu: mats "private persons" in II excludes corporations. but otherwise, anything
that one communicated
to another is fair game.
decimation: asciilifeform: is
that 'potting' material?
BingoBoingo: Ah, I'll source
the Something Awful ones when I find a working login. 2 and 4
though. From
the same post on
the Butterfly Labs forum.

tell
TomServo I'm around
town

to meet up.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: at
the minimum, it was a 'spare' in case of a catastrophic break in sha2 << on
this we agree. meanwhile
that problem seems
to have navigated away
mircea_popescu: The sad irony? It wasn't old or overdone when
they did it. But
the
things it created were so brilliant and popular,
they became woven into
the fabric of
that show's genre.
They ended up being
taken for granted, copied and endlessly repeated. Although
they often began by saying something new,
they in
turn became
the status quo.
mircea_popescu: There are certain shows
that you can safely assume most people have seen.
These shows were considered fantastic when
they first aired. Now, however,
these shows have a Hype Backlash curse on
them. Whenever we watch
them, we'll cry, "That is so old" or "That is so overdone".

that, almost doubled log lines betwwen 3/2014 and now
mircea_popescu: and
then we give nooby kids with undegrad "business" and "governance" degrees a hard
time for
their self-reported "experience"
punkman: mircea_popescu: going by log height #590953
to #1001132 (now), it's a lot of
time
mircea_popescu: this is like... b-a logs are so substantial
they dilate
the perception of
time.
mircea_popescu: i
thought it was much much longer ago
than fucken march last.
assbot: Logged on 29-03-2014 02:11:03; asciilifeform: proposed algo, for
those who insist:
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: i once suggested, semi-seriously, a proofofworkfunktion based on cellular automata << i recall our discussing
this, in
the very logs! years ago!
punkman: I'm gonna
try
to setup

the
tribe, i did not
mircea_popescu: in other news, one doesn't hate you for
the
things about you
that make you great, one hates you for
the
things about you
that make his shit no longer work.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform:
this, rather
than 'open'-whatever in
the abstract, is why redmond declared
total war on linux << quite.
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron: i was just wondering if a random
tails user was aware of
that sort of
thing, or if
they just downloaded it because freetalklive mentioned it << you know
the answer
to
that q.
phillipsjk would have
to check how much space his web-host allows him
to use.
decimation: post a link on
the channel so folks can browse it
phillipsjk: decimation, sure. Would have
to be
tomorrow
though. Would like 50MB be enough? (Ie: before I switched out
the 10Mbps hub)
decimation: phillipsjk: would you be willing
to upload a sample of your ddos captures?
ben_vulpes: i wanted it running in
the context of cron, so i'll probably have
to do some shooping of stuff around.

to shutting
the
thing down forcefully, i'm determined
to not waste any more
time with
things
that can be automated.

too closely, but saw UDP fragment flood with some ICMP messages (to

trimmed from
the logs, but prevented from speaking during a roasting.
assbot: Logged on 29-01-2015 15:40:59; assbot: You rated user felipelalli on 21-Jan-2015, with a rating of -1, and supplied
these additional notes: has a very strange idea of when it's
time
to
talk..
punkman: phillipsjk:
that's usual background noise
phillipsjk: My router reported a "smurf" attack, but I
think it is a mis-diagnosis.
phillipsjk: I am not sure it was a
true amplification. I suspect it was a flase positive because
the addresses ended in .255
phillipsjk: yes I found relevant
text on
the log from
the 21st.

the logs have comments from "noisy" people
trimmed.
phillipsjk: Incidentally, leaving
the back-door open
to
the public gives
the Chinese Government plausible deniability if
they decide
to attack
this humble channel.
phillipsjk: "Technology companies
that want
to sell equipment
to Chinese banks will have
to submit
to extensive audits,
turn over source code, and build “back doors” into
their hardware and software, according
to a copy of
the rules obtained by foreign companies already doing billions of dollar worth of business in
the country.
The new rules were laid out in a 22-page document from Beijing, and are presumably being put in place so
