PeterL: Michigan State will win if
they fix
the holes exposed by Oregon and Ohio State (Baylor plays a similar spread offence
to
those
teams)
BingoBoingo: They better. We need
to start recruiting 300 pounders for our lines so maybe next
time we can actually make plays against Alabama by means other
than accident.
BingoBoingo: For some definitions of better. Good for
them.
BingoBoingo: PeterL: Mizzou got a New Years day game. Happy with
the lack of scam
there from
the SEC.
PeterL: what about football scammers? oh wait,
the other SEC (I must ahve been reading
too much bowl game previews)
mircea_popescu: heh so
the sec is settling with all
the actual scammers eh.
PeterL: I put
the blog checking onto a separate
thread, and now it does not get kicked off from missed pings
PeterL: It was
taking
time
to check blogs for updates, and so would not respond
to pings
punkman: "
They will suddenly see strong randomization where
they did not before.
There may be a few broken because
the have a deeply hidden dependency on determinism. Sorry, but
that is what it is going
to
take."
BingoBoingo: Indeed. "To satisfy portable code, srand() may be called
to initialize
the subsystem. In OpenBSD
the seed variable is ignored, and strong random number results will be provided from arc4random(3.) In other systems,
the seed variable primes a simplistic deterministic algorithm. If
the standardized behavior is required srand_deterministic() can be substituted for srand(),
then subsequent rand() calls will return results using
the d
mircea_popescu: "The reasons for
this are history not known
to me, but it might even be linked
to Dual_EC_DRBG." <, is, afaik.
mircea_popescu: am i
the only one
that sees
the homeric lulz involved ?
mircea_popescu: ofcourse
the actual random r is a general class solution, and provably stronger
than prng r for general applications.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
the problem only appears if r values are equal
punkman: so if you hash
tx+something,
that's not gonna happen
mircea_popescu: little men in little cubical spaces doing little
things in little excel cells.
punkman: it makes sense for
this little
thing
mircea_popescu: meanwhile it also makes it easier for everyone's wallets
to be broken
mircea_popescu: im not all
that convinced deterministic generation (nothing random about it) is such a brilliant idea.
punkman: so
the Android wallets don't break again
punkman: the R value
thing, instead of using RNG, you can just hash
tx+key or something like
that.
punkman: from linked paper: "The analysis is very disturbing: it appears
that
the bitcoin core client has NOT yet finalized
the process of several security upgrades which propose a solution
to
this problem (deterministic random generation) event
though a first solution was already submitted in January 2013"
☟︎ mircea_popescu: coupla bitcents every week. eventually it adds up
to something worth stealing.
mircea_popescu: obviously
the serious ethical violation and outrageous immorality of
them having any btc is why <punkman> I hope he doesn't give anything back
mircea_popescu: it's a modern solution
to a modern problem. meanwhile actual people can get on with
their actual work unmolested.
mircea_popescu: so it works out great for all
the parts involved : corporations pay ;
their employees are kept out of
trouble ;
third worlders eat.
mircea_popescu: and for
the masturbated, "let
the superior white man do
things for you for a few dollars"
mircea_popescu: it's essentially for
the masturbator "play an elaborate sort of sims while pretending
to be at work"
mircea_popescu: so, all over
the world right now,
tons of people wasting each other's
time in pairs, like retarded marmocets
trying
to move a ball across
the field.
mircea_popescu: the software platform
this nonsense happens on is
teamviewer (and before
that, and
to some degree supporting it
today, skype)
mircea_popescu: promote a particularly insane view of hiring, where
to hire someone for an hour is essentially a nonsexual camwhoring arrangement. you're
to
tell
the op what
to do, as micromanagement-y as moving
their own hands.
mircea_popescu: inept "hiring"/"outsourcing" websites, modelled after get a freelancer (which has been in fact on an insane buying spree,
they recently swallowed up warrior forum -
the epicenter of
those idiotic "infoproducts" consisting of yellow underlined
text and a fetishistic "box" with reflections and whatnot)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform by now it's
this very special social behaviour, lemme
tell you
the long story.
assbot: blockchainwallet comments on VICTIM: 100 Bitcoins STOLEN from blockchain.info Wallet during
the Security Leak 12/7/2014 ... (
http://bit.ly/1yJ6iGk )
undata: by people who
think having your network use static IPs is more secure
undata: stuff like
that is installed on every "point of sale" system on earth,
too
mircea_popescu: "take off your clothes. jack off. vote
this on reddit."
mircea_popescu: there's going
to be a special agency specialised in giving orders
to random derps via
teamviewer.
mircea_popescu: what
the us ~~~citizen~~~ expects of its government, after
the
tsa-at-airport free masturbation
test drive
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform btw,
that's
the future. fucking
teamviewer.
undata: please
thief, have a heart!
punkman: "One of
these address' is mine, can you place contact me, I can provide proof with screen shots or
teamview."
punkman: "Dude you
took from my address, I was saving up for my family for christmas and you went and stolen it
this morning.. Please have
the heart
to give it back, PMing you now"
punkman: this joehoe guy made a nice sum
today
undata: I
think one of Ron Paul's best
thoughts was
to allow competition of currencies
mod6: i imagine
these guys just sit
there allday looking at pornhub and playing flappy bird on
their new galaxy 5s IF
they even show up
to
the session
undata: there are a small but nonzero amount of US politicians
that are pro-market and anti-war
mod6: those
ten probably just hit
the wrong voting button. margin of error or something.
mircea_popescu: This dangerous legislation passed
today, December 4, with only
ten (!) votes against! Only
ten legislators are concerned over
the use of blatant propaganda and falsehoods
to push such reckless saber-rattling
toward Russia. Amash, Duncan, Grayson, Hastings, Jones, Massie, McDermott, Miller, O’Rourke, Rohrabacher.
undata: the US constitution and laws resulted in
this;
this is
therefore what a USA *does*
undata: reminds me of various family members... "if we'd only get back
to
the *constitution*!"
undata: poor guy
thought
the US myth was a real
thing
mircea_popescu: in a word, members of congress aren't really
that far above executive associates at jack in
the box.
mircea_popescu: "How does Congress get away with such blatant falsehoods? Do Members not even bother
to read
these resolutions before voting?"
undata: I admire old cranky bastards
that stick
to
their guns
mircea_popescu: i wonder what it's like, you know, man captive in
the monkey cage @ zoo.
undata: I've met him a few
times
mircea_popescu: "Paragraph 16 of
the resolution condemns Russia for selling arms
to
the Assad government in Syria. It does not mention, of course,
that
those weapons are going
to fight ISIS – which we claim is
the enemy -- while
the US weapons supplied
to
the rebels in Syria have actually found
their way into
the hands of ISIS!"
jurov: how is
that cut in
the cloth called in english?
mircea_popescu: being
the most democratically advanced democratic advancement.
