decimation: fingerprints are part of the general 'forensics' pseudoscience that is used as an aid in reducing the number of thinking people required to throw a chump in the gulag
asciilifeform: what judge, in what 20th c. totalitarian state tendril (which is 100% of planet earth as we speak) would dare disagree?
decimation: "The FBI described the fingerprint match as "100% verified". According to the court documents in judge Ann Aiken's decision, this information was largely "fabricated and concocted by the FBI and DOJ".

asciilifeform: chetty: the whole purpose of 'biometric' crap is to administratively fix the designated chump as the permanently-designated chump. ☟︎☟︎
mats_cd03: beaten as early as 2002. http://cryptome.org/gummy.htm
bounce: now, visa and mastercard aren't banks, but they work for banks. which then gives the lie to the premise that banks are safe places for money (or valuables, for that matter) and as such are worthy of the customer's trust
asciilifeform: 'Personnel will not be issued a weapon as weapons are not authorized in
asciilifeform: as it stays open - someone is paying.
asciilifeform: only because no one yet has the audacity to list usg payola as 'profit'
mats_cd03: as usual, yeah.
mats_cd03: LXC has been battle tested for a few years. containers, decades. seccomp is available in the LXC driver, but not in libcontainer. so, the same risks as before -- arbitrary execution of kernel code. leaking to other containers, lack of fine-grained access to devices (in the works, i belieb)
mats_cd03: and roughly as easy to shoot self in head.
mats_cd03: there aren't fancy exploits, just more of the same risks as before

decimation: vonnegut was pissed that his father failed to bring him up in German culture, and dropped him in "one language English only" americanism << "But no, absolutely not – it was almost perverse, I think, that my father would cut me off from the past in such a way. And I think Germans are the most American of all people; [Dwight D.] Eisenhower was as American as a McDonald’s hamburger." http://www.hanknuwer.com/vonnegut.html
decimation: BingoBoingo: as in a propane bottle?
decimation: asciilifeform: yeah, as Mr. Yarvin said, revolutions are when random adventurers seize power for their own ends
decimation: as I recall, the leaders of those who overthrew the czar immediately began using his fancy boats, palaces, etc for their own private benefit because "they were for the people"
decimation: asciilifeform: I suspect for the second half that they don't think of themselves as evil - they think that those who would wish them ill as evil. they are just trying to do good, you see - they are just "in the loop"
asciilifeform: aha so same as brezhnev.
asciilifeform: main danger, as i understand, is that their combustion will: create a visible plume of smoke. or, the ultimate catastrophe, 'auschwitzy' smell. ☟︎

decimation: I don't see so much evil behind what redhat/poettering is doing as much as just steering the boat toward their interests

mircea_popescu: obsolete as the jokes in the movie.
mircea_popescu: l just get into it: This movie is bad. Not offensive bad. Let me repeat: NOT OFFENSIVE BAD. Bad bad. This is the Battlestar Gallactica of comedy. The plot is hackneyed and worn out and executed poorly. The characters are so boring and mundane. There's no character development. There are attempts at it, but it falls flatter than William Hung's face. Remember that William Hung reference folks, because it's as obscure and
mircea_popescu: I had a chance to hear Tucker Max talk about the movie at a screening and he seemed quite confident that it would surpass Wedding Crashers as the highest grossing comedy of all time. After seeing the movie, it became quite clear that he was completely delusional.

mircea_popescu: because as usual, bad money drives out the good
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> the basic fact is, unless you have the infrastructure for reprocessing hot fiat into purified chumpatronium, botnet is not of particularly much use today. << that's the beauty of nature tho! instead of making it secure, they decided to "stop criminality" by making criminal-cash worthless. inasmuch as they've rpetty much succeeded... they also made their own cash worthless.
cazalla: logs down or under attack now as well?
decimation: as in 'click the .exe' or whatever variant

mircea_popescu: we are, as a species, the results of that house surviving, you know.
bounce: the problem is that they're making the maps so detailed as to follow every single thing on there, real-time. not areas, single persons.
mircea_popescu: but my argument is : just because your john is an idiot, itdoes not follow you now have license to make a rule as to what mircea the evil can or can not do with his slavegirls.
undata: I'll admit I've never thought of insurance as such a central component of economics
mircea_popescu: same thing as discussing "average iq" or other similar insanities born out of an inability to statistics.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform as in, take five people, pretend they're all the same, insure the lot.
Adlai always thought of pool operators as selling insurance to miners... but are miners collectively selling insurance to nonminers?
mircea_popescu: (as to the first part, bitcoin mining is EXACTLY insurance, as a mechanism. it turns a string of discrete events (blocks found) into a practically continuous stream of services (hashes))
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform he doesn't know the juicy details that fate was held as more powerful than zeus.
bounce: as such, an abuse of power
mircea_popescu: "your honor, his entire plan of terrorism can be read as function headers"
Adlai: "this function is left as an exercise to the sucker"

mircea_popescu: there is no situation fubar enough as to render leadership powerless.
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> and that not a single line of code ever written, from babbage to today, can be used as is - or even with mild combing. <<< all the skills needed to drive carriages, honed at the significant expense of sweat and often blood by the original wells fargo corporation
asciilifeform: and that not a single line of code ever written, from babbage to today, can be used as is - or even with mild combing.
mircea_popescu: he could again borrow as much as he could possibly spend.
asciilifeform: as in, complete blueprints, drawn up b/w tractor runs
mircea_popescu: anything as long as it's not throwing more pigs around.
asciilifeform: and it might be important to ask, what qualifies as 'having' the better solution
ThickAsThieves: the advantage is keychaining a lifestyle that uses 10 3rd parties as is
mircea_popescu: "Coin Fire was first made aware of this investigation on October 14th but officials with the SEC and the Department of Justice actively informed our editorial team to not jeopardize current investigations. However, as new information has come to light and a third source stepped forward with further information our editors now feel compelled to begin publishing information."
Adlai: it's a good show, as far as shows go
mircea_popescu: they should find a master when old enough to interest anyone, and live thus, as slaves.
mircea_popescu: but anyway, alkl this aside, let's put to bed the "if government were structured as a business selling services to citizens, they could choose what to "invest" in" idiocy.
mircea_popescu: Adlai that's what pencil dicks are : those who attempt to fool people as a means to existence.
mircea_popescu: what is this, senility day, buffett structures his business so as to avoid tax then derps that he pays less than his secretary so his middle management shouild be taxed more
mircea_popescu: Adlai we readily agree, provided by "current way government is conducted" you mean "pencil dicks who chiefly need the government to steal from others and give them part of the proceeds as a means of support derp about how to formalise choice"
Adlai: if government were structured as a business selling services to citizens, they could choose what to "invest" in
mircea_popescu: no, it would actually be news. inasmuch as we KNOW that's what's going to happen.
