danielpbarron: shinohai, my 0.5.3.x pogo is 6 blocks behind my 0.7.2 full size machine, and I'm not sure if it's because the network doesn'
t like two nodes asking for the same blocks from the same IP or what
nubbins`: no wonder pete has an attitude, he obv doesn'
t give a fuck :D
ascii_field: don'
t ever think of the enemy as a mechanism
mircea_popescu: if you think "they" have a different set of problems... they don'
t.
lobbes: and meanwhile they're making theorems illegal << just keep running? debatable if that is true freedom, but arguably you wouldn'
t run out of places to run before end of life
mircea_popescu: on its own strength, two kids pulling their dicks in zurich aren'
t worth the time of day.
ascii_field engineer not accountant. so can'
t say 'submarine is powered by future energy.' it has to be powered by what is aboard.
mircea_popescu: i can guarantee the schmuck in question had no "batallion", on the plain grounds that there isn'
t such a thing.
assbot: Logged on 10-06-2015 18:43:12; mircea_popescu: HOPE was last weekend (I didn'
t go) and finally the design specification has been posted along with the audited code. It appears that my initial concerns were warranted, each key is generated directly from the user's pass-phrase with no salt, thus leaving the true amount of entropy in the key generation process highly unknown.
assbot: Logged on 10-06-2015 13:41:24; asciilifeform: i suppose i should clarify, again, that i wasn'
t speaking of -actually working- as bureaucrat - that is, sitting in meetings, filing reports in triplicate. just that being paid to do, in effect, whatever the fuck you want, is almost like being rich.

t implement web standards
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> mats would you agree that your palace is standing ? << My memory palace doesn'
t abide by such quaint physical conventions
mircea_popescu: poor reddit, stuck with this sad situation where it doesn'
t matter, and the people doing things are the people it hates.
mircea_popescu: then again, this is kinda why we don'
t give a shit about the lot of them.
mircea_popescu: the disagreement mostly stems from definitions tho. what people mean when they say "don'
t use brainwallets for you are stupid" mostly reduces to redditard going on brainwallet.org
ascii_field: and i don'
t give a fuck about general public
ascii_field: in that they keep multiple copies of their key around on the planet (or worse, don'
t)
mircea_popescu: and the argument here isn'
t about "guessing", it's about reducing entropy.
ascii_field: they don'
t need to be generated on the spot
mats: it can'
t be that hard
mircea_popescu: ascii_field if you were fuhrer we wouldn'
t be at war in the first place.
ascii_field: mats: if i were fuhrer, i'd fire these louts. the crap isn'
t even -trying- to be plausible !
mircea_popescu: again, this is what the coumo associates prosecutions mark. not that it wans'
t a fact a while before.
ascii_field: as one fella put it explaining to me, 'it doesn'
t matter if they elect the democrats, republicans, or lesbians. i get paid.'

http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=10-06-2015#1158998 << mircea_popescu is posting through a temporal modem from 1870s ? because 'spoils system' in usg civil service is long, long gone. nobody at nsa, usually not even the director (they don'
t stick around long anyway) worries about which party is in the white house.
ascii_field: it isn'
t clear to me whether preet understands that it isn'
t 'his' palace
ascii_field: i really can'
t help but wonder what motivates the man
assbot: Logged on 12-12-2014 00:03:19; asciilifeform: chemically-powered emp bomb is one of those weapons that really fails basic physics, for almost any scenario, but the brass can'
t ever fall out of love with it
mircea_popescu: "So basically I like to follow the philosophy of Toaism and the concept of wei wu wei, the closest English translation apparently is "action without action" which basically means you don'
t do anything. "
funkenstein_: so i threw a coin at s.nsa the day of first phuctoring.. can'
t help but notice that was the last listed volume

t bothered by paperwork
decimation: "Very low quality workforce overall. At times NSA employment feels like welfare for ex-military who couldn'
t get better jobs. Moreover, because there are too many employees, we cannot reward the highest performers with a reasonable salary."
trinque: I wouldn'
t mind that being the case.
decimation: most of them just don'
t know what they are signing
decimation: congress can'
t be caught doing anything positive for intel these days
decimation: two outlaws escape prison, commit the crime of making gov'
t look like buffons
mod6: I forget whom it might have been, maybe nubbins` who said that the openssl headers don'
t get copied correctly on gentoo from the openssl build dir into ourlibs/include/openssl, i can confirm.
mircea_popescu: moreover, "this is where you have to break the laws of your country because we don'
t like breaking ours"
BingoBoingo: * asciilifeform in a somewhat more sour mood than usual, on account of floppy drive in 486 having caught fire << This is tragedy actual floppy drives that haven'
t been run to shit or decayed on their own are increasingly rare

t expect it all to be free.
shinohai: I don'
t personally use it, I just love those posts where they bitch about paying for things.
