mircea_popescu: JorgePasada maybe read all the disparate stuff, publish a digest.

mircea_popescu: Naphex on a related note, i really don't get all these derps going "oh you know what ? i'll run a hertzner vm through this magic layer. presto, totally anon!"

mircea_popescu: problem being she hangs out with all these bikers.

mircea_popescu: saifedean yes. for that matter, the bitcoin conference is in april.

mircea_popescu: Naphex maybe they were decloaked through sexism.

mircea_popescu: i still think you should publish it. ever seen http://trilema.com/2014/a-conceit-or-the-importance-of-blogging/ ?

mircea_popescu: i didn;'t get around to reading it yet, but its in the pile.

mircea_popescu: debian certainly went to shit since sarge.

mircea_popescu: and im pretty sure all my blockchains are pre .5 for that matter.

mircea_popescu: so leave the guy a comment.

mircea_popescu: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/sci.crypt/JSSM6NbfweQ << this is good on the topic

mircea_popescu: what do you mean only ? that's what it is.

mircea_popescu: yeah srsly, use fingerprints. but that aside, best practice is still to extract key via gribble db

mircea_popescu: anyway, this is of relatively little consequence to us, because we use gribble rather than the pks mess.

mircea_popescu: i think even debian dropped it 5 years ago

mircea_popescu: forget it lol, the thing is roughly bitcoin .9

mircea_popescu: o wait, this is pgp v3

mircea_popescu: http://bitdesire.com/crypto-money-expo-online-meeting/ << who is this ?

mircea_popescu: ah ty.

mircea_popescu: "If the output size of the chosen hash is larger than the number of bits of q, the hash result is truncated to fit by taking the number of leftmost bits equal to the number of bits of q. This (possibly truncated) hash function result is treated as a number and used directly in the DSA signature algorithm."

mircea_popescu: http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/openpgp/current/msg01077.html << who the fuck came up with thar brilliant idea.

mircea_popescu: i guess you get the fox award.

mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes i was curiously waiting for the first one to notice.

mircea_popescu: cazalla: australian* even << really seems that guy is trying superhard to belong ?

mircea_popescu: punkman: any objections to punkbot changing name to "notary"? << i like it.

mircea_popescu: mod6 yeah, and i dunno why that is.

mircea_popescu: in the end. and its a great point. but before he gets there he steps in it.

mircea_popescu: no but wait, my question is, if not {[()]} then what, ()[()]() etc ?

mircea_popescu: dafuck would i want to say, @b{foo}@bi

mircea_popescu: "If you wrote @bold{foo} instead of <bold>foo</bold>, you would not even /want/ to say @bold{foo @italic{bar} zot} if you expected to get foo in bold, zot in italic, and bar in both." <<< wait, wut ?

mircea_popescu: dude.... spend the time to put a (was it clock driven ?) spectrometer in a laptop

mircea_popescu: "Professional graphic artists generally produce Web sites on Macintoshes. They slave over the images until the mid-tones look just right, mid-tones that will be mapped almost to black on a typical Sun workstation or PC. The solution to this problem is trivial: a gamma= field in the IMG HTML tag."

mircea_popescu: yet the thing still survived to present day. makes stuff like the www look likely to live on.

mircea_popescu: it's basically a normal bacterium genome that was completely mushed to bits, barely a third of it still works.

mircea_popescu: anyway, speaking of leprosy, that thing is a wonder to behold.

mircea_popescu: what's that burning water worm called ?

mircea_popescu: i guess after all the tb and bedbug outbreaks in the best socialist california, twas unavoidable.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it was a fun thing to make, that. i think i still have the publisher responses somewhere, "omg you write the greatest letters and whoa so sorry i can't publish this"
