BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: Not necessarily on side of theives. Company just did not want life insurance premiums to bankrupt them so placed sane limits on what could be recovered from where.
asciilifeform: gabriel_laddel: try something easy at first, e.g., evolve a bit-counter
asciilifeform: gabriel_laddel: this one's yours.
asciilifeform: gabriel_laddel: got six or so 'r&d project' depending on how you count.
asciilifeform: gabriel_laddel: gonna build own dragonflytron?
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: Apparently at that point recovery efforts became limited to driving by to verify the car was there and making it insurance company's problem
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: What typically was the worst case was car renter took car to region under "sovereign flag" like certain areas of North St Louis that precluded recovery when lojack revealed the car to be there.
jurov: !up gabriel_laddel
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: No. Thefts are rentals that just don't get returned. Talked to a couple people who did the scary work of "rental car recovery"
pete_dushenski: ben_vulpes: avec plaisir :D
assbot: Logged on 22-01-2016 21:39:10; pete_dushenski: the only way i could explain dodge thefts topping the charts is that only poorfags ~report~ thefts, in much the same way as "all the rapes that happen on us campuses are committed by varsity athletes"
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: i thought 'progressive' enviro-whinerism would demand a ~smaller~ car
ben_vulpes: thank you pete_dushenski!
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: You also are Canadian. Locally cobalts are common. Aveos are what Chinese restaurant workers drive.
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: The cobalt was basically a cavalier refresh which was a familiar, dependable kind of shitty. The aveo was an alien kind of suck.
assbot: Logged on 22-01-2016 21:10:19; mircea_popescu: and speaking of toilet bowls, http://41.media.tumblr.com/f807573edb2b0f7a29f5ff72d97f83c1/tumblr_nhoc41C1Bp1r539hzo1_1280.jpg
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: A lot of the charger/etc thefts are from rental agencies
pete_dushenski: ;;later tell ben_vulpes i'd avoid all chrysler products (including jeep) like the plague. land cruiser/4runner, tahoe/suburban, and explorer/expedition are all worth considering and all fit the "mega-suv with low tco and reasonable maintenance prospects for an american family" niche. that being said, you'd probably be just as well, if not better, served by the 00-06 escape or 97-02 cr-v, both of which should be quiet

BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Used to not be this way. Sometime 10-15 years ago the torts think scared people out of taking responsibility for clearing winter weather
BingoBoingo: funkenstein_: Not really
thestringpuller: latest from the gavin-stooge: https://www.reddit.com/r/btc/comments/426nee/ambitious_protocol_limits/
ascii_butugychag: wasn't it in mircea_popescu's recent article where 'common man must be pumped through a sewer tunnel but oughta have a small escape hatch' ?
ascii_butugychag: mircea_popescu: the observation about 'camgurlz are a magnet for the attention of subhuman bois' seems unsurprising
mircea_popescu: !up ascii_butugychag
ascii_butugychag: reading mircea_popescu's recollections of the '90s porn set feels a little like another one of my predilections, memoirs of su physics/math folk
ascii_butugychag: one does not need to be mircea_popescu to test this.
ascii_butugychag: mircea_popescu: that article makes me think of (i entirely forget the source) - approximately - 'every man's life has a time when things were working correctly'
ascii_butugychag: mircea_popescu: the grep output ?
mircea_popescu: ascii_butugychag incidentally, i suspect you'll find the latest quite very interesting, if you manage to wade through it all.
ascii_butugychag: i prefer mircea_popescu's idea
trinque: !up ascii_butugychag
trinque: ascii_butugychag: was there something else I was supposed to say aside from NICK to get going?
trinque: ascii_butugychag: http://dpaste.com/1R6PACY.txt << for example
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> like it or not this is the level of scrutiny that patches have to face, even if it makes develoipment slow. << i very much agree with this methodology.
mircea_popescu: !up ascii_butugychag
assbot: Logged on 22-01-2016 15:31:49; mircea_popescu: the problem with tests is that you can't test for something not happening.
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: wouldn't unit testing coverage prevent some of this from becoming a problem?
thestringpuller: 100k blocks to go ~_~ eta like 1 more week
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> my one question, and not to mod6 in particular, is : can unsigned int nSize = ECDSA_size(pkey); be trusted to not fuck up the size ? << Just to touch back on this again - I'd like to see more of this. If you happen to be reading through the code, and there is a question, ask - let's discuss.

kakobrekla: help isnt adequate for joining wot really, this is better http://wiki.bitcoin-assets.com/first_steps_in_bitcoin-assets

ascii_butugychag: mircea_popescu: i think everybody remembers the o-rings
trinque: ascii_butugychag: sounds like a centralized CVS/SVN repo where sigs "vote" for what constitutes the master branch
ascii_butugychag: mircea_popescu: no, but i've met hordes who just ~loved~ faux-accountability
mircea_popescu: ascii_butugychag ever met a govt employee that welcomed accountability ?
ascii_butugychag: mircea_popescu: i've been wondering, what the nazi variant of 'v' might look like
mircea_popescu: !up ascii_butugychag
mircea_popescu: !v ascii_butugychag
AdrianG: mircea_popescu: people tend to re-use existing stuff.
thestringpuller: AdrianG: how does this not differ from: "it works by ben_vulpes, sultan of brunei, and king of saud, sending each other pgpgrams with signed chits of how many tonnes of plutonium each owes the other."
AdrianG: mircea_popescu: i think a programmable ledger has legitimate uses. unfortunately for ethereum holders, those ledgers are going to be private and inaccessible from outside.
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: guess that's how TaT made bank on the ASICMINER scam.
assbot: Logged on 19-01-2016 13:41:39; mircea_popescu: lol no idea ? your isomer ?
thestringpuller: ascii_butugychag: shouldn't you be at home. you don't want to get stranded in the uranium mines.
assbot: Logged on 22-01-2016 15:49:34; mircea_popescu: unsigned char *pos = &vchSig[0]; << this takes the pointer pos and points it to what vchsig is
assbot: Logged on 22-01-2016 15:49:10; mircea_popescu: memcpy(&vchSig[0], pchSig, nSize); << so this takes nsize bytes from pchsig and copies them over where vchsig lies.
assbot: Logged on 22-01-2016 12:42:36; mircea_popescu: and also, since we're taking out memcpy(&vchSig[0], pchSig, nSize); in favour of, from what i understand, unsigned char *pos = &vchSig[0]; are these actually and in fact equivalent ?
assbot: Logged on 22-01-2016 14:57:50; mircea_popescu: lots of bunnies grew ears on their back etc
mod6: !up ascii_butugychag
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> my one question, and not to mod6 in particular, is : can unsigned int nSize = ECDSA_size(pkey); be trusted to not fuck up the size ? << Not very "warm and fuzzy" on the openssl trust factor either. Would some tests or debugging help around this part?
mircea_popescu: but, in other news, http://49.media.tumblr.com/1b5f941158bb4e3e22703dbaed3a75a8/tumblr_nllissMVc81upsme5o1_400.gif

assbot: Logged on 22-01-2016 04:16:03; asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: my objection was to the notion of reading 600kB patches of spaces-to-tabs-every-line

ben_vulpes: https://lolcow.wiki/wiki/Operation_Wu-Pocalypse
mod6: again [ which is defined as : int BN_sub(BIGNUM *r, const BIGNUM *a, const BIGNUM *b); BN_sub() subtracts b from a and places the result in r ("r=a-b"). ]
mod6: BN_sub(sig->s, order, sig->s);
mod6: then this part: (BN_cmp(sig->s, halforder) < 0) will return -1 since 40000 < 50000
mod6: then this part: (BN_cmp(sig->s, halforder) < 0) will return 1 since 60000 > 50000
assbot: bn_ctx_new(3): allocate/free BN_CTX structures - Linux man page ... ( http://bit.ly/1RXJ6iw )
mod6: this too: http://linux.die.net/man/3/bn_ctx_new
assbot: bn_ctx_get(3): use temporary BIGNUM variables - Linux man page ... ( http://bit.ly/1RXJ5v7 )
mod6: ima point you at this for right now, and we can discuss all of that later perhaps: http://linux.die.net/man/3/bn_ctx_get
ben_vulpes: forgive further derpitude, but how on earth does `BN_CTX_get(ctx)` return two different values?
mod6: [ which is defined as : int BN_sub(BIGNUM *r, const BIGNUM *a, const BIGNUM *b); BN_sub() subtracts b from a and places the result in r ("r=a-b"). ]
mod6: BN_sub(sig->s, order, sig->s);
mod6: (BN_cmp(sig->s, halforder) > 0) evaluates to 1 since 60000 > 50000
mod6: then this line: (BN_cmp(sig->s, halforder) > 0) will return -1 since 40000 < 50000
trinque: ben_vulpes: now it's stuck on a block 1-2 back, because reasons
trinque: ben_vulpes: whatwhatwhat ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: my objection was to the notion of reading 600kB patches of spaces-to-tabs-every-line ☟︎
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: you did not understand what i meant when said 'contagious'
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: nah, see above
asciilifeform: hey the tabs thing only matters because mircea_popescu insists on programming in 'nano'
assbot: Logged on 21-01-2016 14:40:51; mircea_popescu: that once the current version being worked upon is released, we all do a whole-source scouring of spaces, and sign the independently generated results, which will be an immediate, other patch.
assbot: Logged on 22-01-2016 00:51:59; asciilifeform: somebody here (ben_vulpes?) even learned cpp just for the occasion.
ben_vulpes: ;;later tell pete_dushenski also, considering a jeep cherokee or a toyota land cruiser of 2000 and 89 vintage for babywagon, any thoughts on either?
ben_vulpes: ;;later tell pete_dushenski aha, ty
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes yeah, totally so very clever they'll spend thousands of dollars to dig themselves out of this pr hole and wonder why it dun work.
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> or what, we discover dpaste auto-fucks-up the tabs anyway << im starting to wonder...
mod6: (13:52) <+mircea_popescu> asciilifeform http://dpaste.com/26VKRQG << second one
mod6: (13:43) <+mircea_popescu> mod6 http://dpaste.com/2CH23F5 << in the humble hope that it may serve. << first one
mod6: ah, now. im gonna leave the #__LINE__ #__FILE__ thing out.
mod6: <+jurov> the example i gave is pretty much complete. and you ought to experiment with it << would this work? : printf("ERROR, ECDSA_sign failed at #__LINE__ in #__FILE__\n");
jurov: but __LINE__ should be used in any case, and # causes it to be treated as string
jurov: maybe __FILE__ gives full path, i don't remember, then it's not very desirable
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> mod6 really you shouldn't do this manually, just s/ /\t/ << lemme try with this. thx.
