mircea_popescu: how much are ~5k zombie ips worth ? what's
the current market value of a wordpress list like whatever, 100k or i didn't bother counting
the new one yet ?
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> over a ludicrously expensive plasma
tv,
the owner of
the firm gravely proclaimed
that
the robot (nominally a sapperbot) shall be fitted with a rifle. << Wait employees hadn't machines so armed already?
mircea_popescu: jurov: FTFY: build enough audience and capital
to buy ukraine <<< here's a simple calculation : someone somewhere judges it worth his
time
to
try
to attack qntra for like what, a day ?
ben_vulpes is now gagging for
time
to read
the logs
mircea_popescu: and now i got you in
the corner. either you argue with
the libtards
that c. maxwell is not a novel result,
tho his work is
BingoBoingo: <ben_vulpes> kick everyone's ass on quality without worrying about making money << gawker was never great, but
this is how
they killed huffpo
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: i wasn't intending
to (with what, ha.) just ringing
the bell
to possibly wake up folks who
think
they can achieve a new result by doing
the same
thing as was done for 100 years. <<< you know,
the clerk maxwell guy, arguably a novel result, WAS in fact achieved by doing
the exact same
thing men have been doing
to women for a hundred years.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: ATM
this inspires me
to wonder about...
the classic railgun. If
the projectile is already a strong magnet...
ThickAsThieves: <+mircea_popescu> yeah, but
then i noticed
there's actually
two, and
they're pretty close. /// of course, second bidder has something
to work with
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: once q
transforms into
the kind of
thing which is presently lucrative, it will cease
to be distinguishable from
the despised competition. <<
the idea is
to
transform
things around it.
mircea_popescu: mike_c: ethics schmethics. newspapers have been funded by ads from forever <<< yeah but i find
the entire goldline glenn beck
thing pretty objectionable.
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves: i
think it can be nothing more <<< yeah, but
then i noticed
there's actually
two, and
they're pretty close.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform:
The last one, new rifles are sold in us on essentially
the same principle. "Inline" muzzle loaders
that use shotgun primers.
mircea_popescu: devthedev: Bitcointalk: "Due
to a recently-discovered flaw in
the
TLS and SSL protocols, you may want
to change your password, especially if you accessed
the forum using
Tor." <<< what,
tor isn't safe ? incredibru.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: So far
the rennovated mosin is my favorite
mircea_popescu: incidentally : if any reader feels like building a botnet / expanding his botnet, you can probably hit
the earlier linked list of ips. if you're carefgul going in you can probably blame whatever mischief on
the original derp,
too.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: By
this
time next month Amtrack business will be booming. US air
travel is on its way out. <<< can only go where
there's
track.
mircea_popescu: Freen0deAdmin: why do some names have a color next
to
them?
ThickAsThieves: because racism << ok i lolled. because colonialism.
mircea_popescu: then beggar can
talk
to king dracula any
time he wants.
mircea_popescu: so you kill
them and
then hang
the alchemists by
their guts.
mircea_popescu: the solution, as practiced in history, was
to
teach
the drunks restraint.
mircea_popescu: sure, and at a bunch of unintentional other mishaps at
that.
mircea_popescu: suppose you, unknown stranger of razi level, have a q.
takes you
three years and a dozen idiotic answers ?
mircea_popescu: this is fine, but if you actually calculate
the computational load you'll get more
than
the current star model
jurov: for documents you can use CDN and whatnot. problem is if
they want
to call your code
mircea_popescu: you're never going
to escape
the fact
that a 3 person sitcom crew can fuck
three different ways whereas a 4 person crew can fuck in 6 ways
mircea_popescu: so yes, avoidance is
the name of
the game. nevertheless...
mircea_popescu: granted,
this is not a problem
that can actually be solved
mircea_popescu: ddos is an intrinsic property of
the world, like bitcoin, like falling
to your death, like
the nuclear bomb
mircea_popescu: same
thing here :
the more people you add,
the exponentially more potential connections in
the graph.
mircea_popescu: nah, consider gravity. your potential energy increases with your height, but your speed of ultimate impact with
the square of
the height.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: but
the fact of ddos still being a
thing at all, reveals catastrophically broken design at large. << not really, it just reflects a major problem of
the world at large (the quare-linear problem, specifically)
mircea_popescu: (this, of course, excludes
the wordpress stuff, which is about 90% or so of
the entire
thing, but also easy
to filter)
assbot: ### For
the numerically curious : hits count, ip. ###

mike_c: geezus.
There are no infinite shares.
nubbins`: i know i'd certainly buy shares in a website in order
to read one of its articles
jurov: ThickAsThieves: how
to burn shares on mpex? push
to nonextant address?
ThickAsThieves: make people buy shares
to read,
then burn
the shares when
they do
mike_c: the old crown. imagine how valuable an organ of
the new crown will be.
