coderwill: it says that the majority of brown's sentence is from threatening an fbi agent in a youtube video
punkman: good thing everyone's dumpingall their thoughts on twitter and facebook
asciilifeform: can't use the same six words to hang every honest man.
hanbot: i somehow doubt it's as much a piece of hay in the stack as all that. you piss someone off enough, they'll find what with to beat you.
coderwill: sheesh, that's pretty scary
asciilifeform: and yes, he is probably guilty of, among other things, insulting a loyal servant of the crown.
asciilifeform: hanbot: for various reasons, brown was a good 'example to be made'
hanbot: stuff themselves? and yet, he's the one in jail.
assbot: Barrett Brown's Prison Time Raises Cybersecurity, Journalism Concerns - US News ... ( http://bit.ly/1L9JPaQ )
hanbot: asciilifeform: BingoBoingo, cazalla, mircea_popescu, qntra folks: http://www.usnews.com/news/articles/2015/01/23/barrett-browns-prison-time-raises-cybersecurity-journalism-concerns << today this fella went off to jail. << yknow the article only mentions it in passing, but apparently the guy fucked around with an fbi agent. i'd wager the shit he's in has more to do with that than posting w/e link. how many others posted links or even hosted the
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the most that can be done is to button it up so that replacing bootloader requires soldering on the missing uart pins
coderwill: e.g. 10 years ago, hurricanes were everywhere in the gulf of mexico, now there are very few
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the flip side of the medal is that these things are not the least bit difficult to reprogram. i can easily picture the phoundation distributing an 'upgrader' anyway
coderwill: mircea_popescu: maybe just cylical on a timespan that's not being well perceived
coderwill: mircea_popescu: re: warmest year stuff, yeah, not sold on it either, the weather does seem strange though
decimation: mentally prepared for tens of thousands of pushy New Yorkers (I’m also one) or overly emotional Miami Cubans who think they are returning royalty. Waves of carpetbaggers will pour in trying to buy everything that isn’t nailed down with their gringo dollars. Every Cuban exile sees himself as the next El Presidente."
decimation: http://www.ronpaulinstitute.org/archives/featured-articles/2015/january/25/adios-cuba/ << " Now, the lame duck Obama administration has finally figured out how to put an end to Cuba’s Communist system: human wave attacks by hordes of American tourists in loud golf wear yelling “USA, USA!” and waving Visa cards." "Cubans are not ready for loud, aggressive tourists shoving money in their faces. Nor are these easy-going islanders
coderwill: speaking of BA, i like the work this design company puts out down there: https://aerolab.co/
asciilifeform: wasn't even thinking of remote upgrade, but local (insert image on stick)
mircea_popescu: but THE OWNER.
mircea_popescu: nah, let the owner be in control.
mircea_popescu: person wants to upgrade, torch the box set up a new one.
asciilifeform: we could conceivably 'tivoize' the thing
mircea_popescu: if there's some sort of hole put in deliberately,
asciilifeform: because guess who is certain to ask 'install upgrade plz'
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: that was my thought.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: any thoughts re: whether we want an upgrade mechanism in the toy node ?
decimation: also, there's a large margin of error, but we are really sure that there's a trend here
decimation: "The story also reported that 2014 was the hottest year on record, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and NASA, but did not include the caveat that other recent years had average temperatures that were almost as high — and they all fall within a margin of error that lessens the certainty that any one of the years was the hottest."
decimation: even the AP published a retraction after the daily mail called them out http://bigstory.ap.org/article/d7375a310ef6475c9841accc756c4ba4/heat-noaa-nasa-say-2014-warmest-year-record
mircea_popescu: coderwill the "warmest year" bs is just that.
decimation: "As a result, GISS’s director Gavin Schmidt has now admitted Nasa thinks the likelihood that 2014 was the warmest year since 1880 is just 38 per cent. However, when asked by this newspaper whether he regretted that the news release did not mention this, he did not respond." < lol daily mail
coderwill: wild time to be alive no doubt
coderwill: i just saw a link the other day that at the same time, 2014 was the warmest year on record - also, something that in the last 10 years a ridiculous amount of warm weather records have been broken
assbot: So /McDonalds is goin to start accepting a random type currency soon.. I wonder it its /search?q=%24btc&src=ctag /hashtag/bitcoin?src=hash
assbot: Bruce Charlton's Miscellany: Travel and the mind ... ( http://bit.ly/1L9H0Xw )
decimation: re: earlier conversation on the 'need' to travel >> http://charltonteaching.blogspot.com/2011/09/travel-and-mind.html << " Warnie Lewis, a leading expert on Versailles, never visited Versailles."
coderwill: it's strange, we are having these crazy "polar vortexes" (last year) and now potentially record snow in new york, and earlier this year in buffalo
mircea_popescu: heating the nw may be problematic.
mircea_popescu: anyway, everyone was driving their fuel supplies down
mircea_popescu: mats two feet in mass.
coderwill: i heard it might be the most snow ever for new york city
mats: its hilarious that anyone wanted to pay so much as 1mn for blockchain.info
mats: 20 to 30 inches of snow anticipated... wtf
coderwill: people may have some type of vesting now that they announced they had that 30 million raise, i don't know though
coderwill: there were promises of equity but nothing official that i saw (other than verbal)
coderwill: no, not when i was there it was very strange
coderwill: i don't think so, it appears they are hiring after closing the round
mircea_popescu: are they cutting back on personnel too /
mircea_popescu: http://38.media.tumblr.com/3431bae3b538ec058d5f5d44a8039ed9/tumblr_n9qtidqcvJ1s93wm2o1_400.gif << the princess of freshair
mircea_popescu: coderwill considering this is perhaps the 8th or 9th attempt, and all the previous ones monetized in the vessenes manner (whitewashing services for scammers)...
coderwill: i wonder how they will monetize
mircea_popescu: what do you think a "role account" is ?
mircea_popescu: gabriel_laddel you might have something there.
mircea_popescu: basically, they wish to be one of those vc scams where "it can't be proven they have no market share" and so... safe investment.
mircea_popescu: they want to be whatever takes no work and provides no service.
coderwill: mircea_popescu: saw your reply RE: circle, yeah, it's almost like they want to be a venmo or square pay now or something
coderwill: afternoon too, oops.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes: anyone who works with power shapers knows better than to hand guide a router << it was hand guided by a robotic hand.
asciilifeform: preferably - to san jose
asciilifeform: when do we get africa brought to these folks.
mircea_popescu: standards are racist. the spec is the code. WE ARE BRINGING STUFF TO AFRICA
asciilifeform: 'let's use machine whose architecture is in no sense standardized, with approx. the performance of a 486 dx-100'
punkman: yeah I can't disagree with that
asciilifeform: the 'let's run complex proggies in the browser' thing is monumentally retarded. esp. in light of how it actually works in practice (e.g. js and its all-numerics-are-floats, etc)
mircea_popescu: <BingoBoingo> Imma spend a few hours now reading trilema and listening to Lynyrd Skynyrd to get the liberal brainwashing out. << i lollered.
assbot: Welcome to the MESS Wiki! [MESS] ... ( http://bit.ly/1L9DHzt )

punkman: asciilifeform: archive.org's has an impressive number of emulators that will work in browsers, I think that's nice
asciilifeform: (what's a xerox 'dolphin' ? this: http://www.digibarn.com/friends/alanfreier/index.html )
asciilifeform: which is to say, you might admire the patience of the maker, but at the end of the day, the only question is - 'why?'
asciilifeform: punkman: the x86-in-js emulator is at least 2 years old, and is about as interesting as a full-sized replica of the eiffel tower made from toothpicks.
punkman: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com//?date=25-01-2015#991865 > now you can emulate it too http://ascii.textfiles.com/archives/4546 ☝︎
asciilifeform thought that this could have been an emulator for the xerox dolphin, very disappointed
decimation: re: wikileaks << it's pretty lulzy that the 'staff' idiots were using third party mail providers anyway
badbitcoinadmin: OK, I see, some crypto hoops to jump through. Might not do it until tomorrow, looks straightforward enough.
danielpbarron: instructions on how to register your key with assbot and other commands are here -> http://wiki.bitcoin-assets.com/irc_bots/assbot
assbot: Please To PGP (Guide for Linux, OS X, Windows) | Contravex: A blog by Pete Dushenski ... ( http://bit.ly/1L9zSKw )
asciilifeform: gabriel_laddel: hence, one might learn something by trial and error (entirely possible to smoke the chip, sure.)
asciilifeform: gabriel_laddel: afaik, nothing has ever leaked re: the microcode structure. all that is known is how to invoke the updater, the approximate structure of the blob, and the fact that - unlike intel's - there is no crypto/authentication
gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: do you know of any information about AMD Opteron's k8 microcode or the chip in question? I found http://www.securiteam.com/securityreviews/5FP0M1PDFO.html but nothing else on the matter. Also, do you know of a better place to ask this question? I'm not a haxx0r.
badbitcoinadmin: right now, this was first thing I found that was set up for Freenode
punkman: so you are gonna track all the HYIP scams that take bitcoin?
BingoBoingo: So... what does account do here then?
BingoBoingo is about to crash into sleep, someone else is going to have to take up !b sniping duties.
punkman: badbitcoinadmin: are you in the wot? why "role account"?
punkman: oh so he did steal all the coinz
asciilifeform: lol! same 'badbitcoin' that was funded by gaw ?
badbitcoinadmin: badbitcoin.org is a specialty site taht focuses on tracking various coin scams & those running them
badbitcoinadmin: punkman this is a role account for badbitcoin.org
gabriel_laddel: ben_vulpes: I realize that, but no systemd should be considered a feature IMO. One I forgot to list.
ben_vulpes: but that's awesome
punkman: badbitcoinadmin: did you steal all the coinz?
ben_vulpes: is this a thing you wrote?
gabriel_laddel: And adds to it, e.g., when you start your daily mathematics practice it will pull up the previous state from where you left off.
gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: say that you want to write a Captain's Log each day before going to sleep. Masamune formalizes this.
ben_vulpes: seriously though, sounds great. can't wait to give it a whirl.
gabriel_laddel: If anyone has requests for things they'd like to see in a dream distro. Let me know.
BingoBoingo needs to get a working VAX
