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.
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"

_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"
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.
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
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
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: 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'
mircea_popescu: ascii
_butugychag incidentally, i suspect you'll find the latest quite very interesting, if you manage to wade through it all.
trinque: ascii
_butugychag: was there something else I was supposed to say aside from NICK to get going?
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.
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?
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.
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
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.

_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.

_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: 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 ?
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
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
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 ?

_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?
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: 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.
