undata: seems like he could've leaked us having gas chambers and
the response would've been similar
thestringpuller: still good metric
to have if you expect
to decrypt backup from it
mircea_popescu: “Independent self-reliant people would be a counterproductive anachronism in
the collective society of
the future where people will be defined by
their associations.” 1896 ~John Dewey, of
the dewey system.
mircea_popescu: “We have
to offer up scary scenarios, make simplified dramatic statements, and make little mention of any doubts we may have. Each of us has
to decide what
the right balance is between being effective and being honest. ” ~Stephen Schneider, environmental activist, in _Discover_, Oct. '89
mircea_popescu: as it happens, i've been saying exactly
that. course,
the honest libertarian apparently doesn't personally use
the
terminology of some random polis
to describe himself, nor does
the random polis readily recognize him, and so... seth's safe.
mircea_popescu: Oh, for an honest Libertarian who would say "Yes, in Libertopia we'd have rampant quackery, organ-seizure, baby-selling, slavery in all but name - BUT
THAT'S FREEDOM!" ~Seth Finkelstein
mircea_popescu: who da fuck is
this nick ? he knew it plain
two decades prior.
thestringpuller: i guess maybe
that is first
test I will run on cardano: get arbritarily large file and find rate at which it decrypts/encrypts
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller note
that
the question is leading. sure, "aes optimised" hardware may deliver better performance, at an unknown cost
to security.
mircea_popescu: on
the current, symetric cypher based process, not bad.
to
the
tune gbps depending on your system specs
mircea_popescu: actually, someone should make a backup service, exactly identical
to
tarsnap except it only accepts material gpg-encrypted
to your key.
cazalla: asciilifeform: i propose
that pseudo-bitcoin scamatrons be known as 'mockchains' <<< why you gotta
try oneup my brockchain :(
nubbins`: gotta find a neat angle on it
tho
nubbins`: downloading blockchain,
take
three. go!
mircea_popescu: punkbot
these deals always depend on how much
they actually get.
nubbins`: asciilifeform re:
that book you posted earlier
thestringpuller: so
they run out of money not finding useful stuff
to do and ask for more. so does
this make all
the core developers essentially beggars?
punkman: hey 20 million bezzlars,
that's gotta last
them at least a year
thestringpuller: its like "the only
thing I can do is work for cash burning start up or suck dick"
thestringpuller: asciilifeform: blockstream << lol i look at
the founders page and of course gmaxwell is on it
thestringpuller: cazalla: a pokemon exchange?!? lol. i
think I may be

mats_cd03: this is
the impression i'm getting,
too.
punkman: "The reason we were able
to attract A-list investors is our group of founders and
the promise of blockchain
technology."
punkman: "The FreeBSD Foundation is pleased
to announce it has received a $1,000,000 donation from Jan Koum, CEO and Co-Founder of WhatsApp.
This marks
the largest single donation
to
the Foundation since its inception almost 15 years ago"
cazalla: could call it..
the brockchain
cazalla: mebe you nintendo could even use blockchain
technology
to
timestamp when you found a pokemon so no-one can sell you dupes
danielpbarron: like
the yale-tards i overheard at louis lunch
the other day? like it was
their first
time interacting with people outside of acedemia?
mircea_popescu: exactly like star
trek ninnies, speaking a wholly unintelligible pigdin and laughing out of
the blue for nutty reasons.
mircea_popescu: all
these fucktarded nsa "codewords". it would not surprise me if
the central nodes in
the administration of all
this perpetually overbudget, perpetually mismanaged nonsense are desocialised
to
the point
they can no longer interact with people in a shop or bar or w/e
danielpbarron: the amount of "work"
that goes into finding a shiny would put it in
the 1
to 10 BTC range
cazalla: i wonder if nintendo capitulated and will allow 2 male pokemon
to make a baby pokemon
cazalla: i am partial
to
the original 150
cazalla: i doubt
there is any demand for it but i would buy a desired pokemon for btc
cazalla: mircea_popescu, never played pokemon? so you catch
them as you would say find an item in an mmorpg, you
train em, level em up, you can
trade
them as you would an item in an mmorpg
to other players
danielpbarron: it was a gameboy game first; you could
trade via
the connection cable
mircea_popescu: i suppose someone who knows about
trading cards could re-make mtgox.
TheNewDeal: pokemon was also a card game back in
the day, like Magic. Not sure if he's
talking about software game
cazalla: for
trading pokemon, you know, so i can point and say hey, you said you would deliver pokemon xyz and you decided
to back out at
the last minute, don't
trade with
this guy
mircea_popescu: my idea of a pokemon is roughly speaking a beanie baby. what's
to gpg
there ?
mircea_popescu: you'll have
to explain
this like we've never been five
cazalla: you know, with
the new pokemon game coming out in a few days
time, idea of a bitcoin pokemon market would be great, could even have gpg pokemon contracts
mircea_popescu: “The state is
the great fictitious entity by which everyone seeks
to live at
the expense of everyone else.” lol
mircea_popescu: at least
the us has
the decency
to worship its degenerates.
mircea_popescu: curious
that
the "advanced northern europe" isn't coming out with "brevik is pretty much our greatest achievement",
mircea_popescu: “The welfare state reduces a citizen
to a client, subordinates
them
to a bureaucrat, and subjects
them
to rules
that are anti- work, anti-family, anti-opportunity and anti-property... Humans forced
to suffer under such anti-human rules naturally develop pathologies.
The evening news is
the natural result of
the welfare state.”
mircea_popescu: “I guess you will have
to go
to jail. If
that is
the result of not understanding
the Income
Tax Law, I will meet you
there. We shall have a merry, merry
time, for all our friends will be
there. It will be an intellectual center, for no one understands
the Income
Tax Law except persons who have not sufficient intelligence
to understand
the questions
that arise under it.”
dignork: that's very weak DRM, better would be scrambling signal
to be decoded on google glasses, surgically embedded into user scalp.
undata: suddenly
the use case becomes clear.
dignork: and a DRM solution,
to protect
the assets.
dignork: or dick pics for dollar, might work
too
undata: the hipsters all use snapchat
to send each other dick pics
dignork: "For now, Snapcash is available
to Snapchatters in
the United States who have a debit card and are 18 or older." <<
there is such a
thing?
TheNewDeal: From
the article "We set out
to make payments faster and more fun!!!"
cazalla: seems BingoBoingo has been busy
this morning and scooped me on
the news before i was even awake
adlai: "... Now we should call
them economical numbers"
mircea_popescu: (but seriously, if you, like me are a fan of
the old amiga stuff, with HARD mobs and
tough as nail bosses etc ?
try it.)
mircea_popescu: and now, off
to play aurum blade, because i am getting retarded in my old age.
adlai: it gives you a resolution bound for
the precision of mental disorder diagnosis
mircea_popescu: it's an acceptable if overvoluminous
textbook for
treating broken bones.
mircea_popescu: jurov: i need
the codes
then :D << you know i just use
the webirc hostmask
they come in with right ?
mircea_popescu: "beverage" comes
to mind. because yeah, carbonated high fructose corn syrup needs a
thing
to be, like water and wine.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: need
to sell
turds, when folks are asking for sausages? declare
that now people shall eat 'cylindricals' << not bad.
mircea_popescu: adlai
the derps in question make no difference. but, yeah,
the problem has long stood.
adlai: no, seriously. some big association of mental scientists (lol) recently admitted
that
they have nfc what schizophrenia actually is, and
that
they should probably drop
the
term and start analyzing
the conditions it refers
to from a blank page
adlai: it's a made up concept
to lump
together a bunch of conditions
that psych(olog|iatr)ists have epsilon understanding of
mircea_popescu: xanthyos: 50k btc sold under mkt value with unreleased results is a good way
to lay
the groundwork for intentional price plummet <<< if it had worked.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla:
this raises a question, can schizophrenic even use pgp as intended? <<< well if he has split personality,
then
they won't know about each other's keys.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla: i
trust myself only with a 9 << just as long as you find a kim
to
trust you with her 6.
mircea_popescu: i'm certainly going
to remember fuckable kim long after i forgot any and all sitcom writers for crying out loud.
punkman: I've heard
the same about athletes, not uncommon
mircea_popescu: what
the fuck do i care what maradona does after he's
too old
to play ?
mircea_popescu: somehow people don't seem
to say
the same about athletes.
