phillipsjk: Exposing UPnP
to
the internet defies all common sense. Add
to
that, many of
the Pwnt routers appear
to be in China, I am going
to call it a deliberate back-door on
the part of
the manufacturer.
phillipsjk: The users installing
those routers probably don't even play with computer networks as a hobby. It is
the manufacturers, not
the end-users' fault
that UPnP is exposed
to
the Internet.

The captures are 5.0GB each. Just a little
too large
to fit on a DVD:P << last
time we diagnosed
this it was mostly unpnp pwnt routers
that yielded it.
phillipsjk: I also wanted
to comment
that behavior
that seem stupid from
the outside is sometimes completely rational. Quoting MP: 'last
time we diagnosed [the DDOS bot] it was mostly unpnp pwnt routers
that yielded it. long known as a problem, little
to do about it because "must have lusers on
the internet"'

☝︎ decimation: but asciilifeform,
tenured professors
teach maslow in school!
decimation: phillipsjk: just because 'some choose not
to pursue wealth', it doesn't follow
that
the wealthy are not intelligent
pete_dushenski: phillipsjk: merely
that less smart people have
the deck stacked against
them in
their pursuit of anything
phillipsjk: asciilifeform, it nicely illustrates
that
there are priorities other
than wealth/status.
phillipsjk: I accept
that some people are smarter
than others.
That does not automatically imply
that
the goal of all smart people is
to gain wealth and status.
decimation: is 'unintelligence' also something one can 'shake off' and overcome, just by
trying hard enough?
phillipsjk: Sometimes I
think mental illness is a rational response
to life events.
decimation: phillipsjk: do you
think mental illness is something
that is fundamentally biological? or do you
think
that
the mentally ill could 'shake it off' and choose not
to?
phillipsjk: so in a word yes, I know
the fixed hierarchy is largely fiction.
phillipsjk: Of course,
that hiearchy is not rigid in real life. Anarcho-socialists may simply skip gaining status, instead prioritizing "8.
Transcendence needs - helping others
to achieve self actualization."
pete_dushenski: it's not clear
to me
that people enjoy paying for
things with
the aim of ownership
decimation pays nothing for his cars (other
than maintenance and gas) and enoys it
decimation: yeah it's hard
to 'enjoy' paying nothing for a car if you never do it
pete_dushenski: you never notice
the depreciation whack because "only monthly payment matters"
decimation: aye, one can't keep a chumpatron going if it kills
the chumps
decimation: asciilifeform: yeah ultimately
the 'infinite noise' guy's circuit is still vulnerable
to rf noise in
the right band
pete_dushenski: in any event,
the "green is fine u guise" construction is hollow
pete_dushenski: ok scratch
that, liquidity should increase volatility in
the short-term but illiquid markets have larger fat
tails
pete_dushenski: because in greenlandia, deep liquid markets are more volatile
than
thin illiquid ones
pete_dushenski: r fuels
that are just inputs into generation of electricity).
pete_dushenski: 2. Second, over
the longer run, because of continuing
technological improvements,
the prices of renewables, especially solar power, are likely
to drop much faster
than is
the case for commodity-based fuels such as oil.
The 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 (especially fo
pete_dushenski: 1. First, oil is used primarily for
transportation and not
to produce electricity, whereas renewables play an increasing role in producing electricity. In other words, oil and renewables are not direct competitors.
pete_dushenski: true renewable sources of energy–wind, solar, and biomass–may be much less adversely affected by
the plunge in oil prices
than is widely believed << because reasons
mats: er, not
tax filings, but financial documents -- also, what about electronic storage devices?
mats: mircea_popescu: would you consider records and other business documents (e.g.
tax filings) within
the scope of
the courts-circus parameters?
mats: based on
the description, anyway.
cazalla: still a coinbase despite
telling
the faithful
that coinbase will add litecoin and
that he'll leave if
they don't
pete_dushenski: and now lee is presumably sipping mai
tais somewhere because i swear he hasn't made a peep in 12 months
cazalla: no proof of course but i wouldn't put it past a guy
to do
that.. a guy
that is willing
to get up in front of a room and admit what he says isn't
true but
that it's OK because "marketing"
pete_dushenski: ben_vulpes: and what was
that miata bit? is
this your dream car or.. ?
pete_dushenski: ben_vulpes: even
tesla's have
to get leccy from somewhere
pete_dushenski: cazalla: a, a newer
thing
then, another "but it worked for
the us" scenario
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Collaborator was also one of
the first, notorious BTC GPU miners
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform>
the 'cynical' answer would be
that he didn't give a flying fuck about asic resistance in
the general sense, but planned
to build own asic <<
There was drama about a collaborator of his GPU mining
this GPU unminable coin from
the start
cazalla: of course, which is why i got into it
to begin with but in hindsight, just sour grapes at missing cheaper bitcoin
ben_vulpes: pete_dushenski: best electric
tranny is ICE powered.
cazalla: pete_dushenski, it has had one for
the last year along with a *talk.org forum.. it's pretty much
the blue print for altcoins at
this point, launch your altcointalk.org, have a foundation and premine under
the guise
the foundation will use
the coins in some fund
to spread adoption
cazalla: asciilifeform, i'm pretty sure every altcoin always launches with
the idea of being different
to every other altcoin
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: at least litecoin didn't have a phoundation crudding it up
to its gills over a period of years
cazalla: he is malicious because he contains
to appear at conferences
to
tell people how a coin is all about
the marketing regardless of whether what you say is factual or not. he's just
the first iteration of garza
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform:
the cynical answer could also be
that he's a bad actor who
tried
to detract energies away from bitcoin at a pivotal moment
cazalla: so no, i don't buy
that litecoin was anything more
than
the creation of your stereotypical chink who knocks shit off
cazalla: and nobody has moved
the goal posts as much as
those idiots.. gpu resistant, asic resistant, it's faster etc etc
cazalla: asciilifeform, coblee admits his silver analogy doesn't make sense but continues with it anyway.. doesn't sound genuine
to me at all
mats: hm, bitbet has graduated
to being a sextuple reverse fractional reserve if my computation is correct
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Cazalla's
text. But... certain people who birthed it still promote it as an alternative
that still solves a problem.
