mircea_popescu: BHopkins well, so get one. no way to do private communications without pgp. also no good way to have an identity online.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform they're mostly all based on user idiocy, clicks links ends up windows'd.
mircea_popescu: shinohai inadvertently my foot. huge problem for all ad platforms.
mircea_popescu: you mean other than a bevy of the younger "journalist" interns realising they're wasting their time in office clothes in new york and joining me naked in costa rica ?
mircea_popescu: given the situation in the field, interviews are probably the only workable approach.
mircea_popescu: no, traditionally the job is to either get interviews placed if the client is smarter than the press, or else to get reviews/testimonials/etc placed if the press is smarter than the client.
mircea_popescu: BHopkins nah. i personally couldn't care less about "bad" things. for one thing, i've yet to meet the entity intelligent to say something meaningfully bad about me.
mircea_popescu: kinda why it's important to develop correct conveniences.
mircea_popescu: also allows to record something not before recorded : intention-to-pay.
mircea_popescu: BHopkins will be processed later today ; at which point -- congrats, your first bitcoin!
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform see, coinbase. bitpay / blockchain.info dun stand a chance.
mircea_popescu: BHopkins are you sure it is yours ? lest we blow up a whole flat's worth of hookers and blow.
mircea_popescu: in perhaps more interesting questions, do you own any bitcoin BHopkins ?
mircea_popescu: (bill lawsky was this sort of mini-preet bharara, however briefly, meanwhile... retired.)
mircea_popescu: this is a ridiculous state of affairs, and it will have to be returned to normalcy.
mircea_popescu: here's the gist of the problem : when rando, such as for instance bill lawsky, stands up and says "we made these rules" bla bla, nobody in those verticals springs up the obvious "what proof do you have". if i say "i destroyed ETH/BCH/whatever, and here's the proof" the same nobodies come up with contorted nonsense like "ok but what proof do you have your proof is proofing?!?!?"
mircea_popescu: let us rephrase then. "whereas the perception in silicon valley spam farms, like facebook, huffpo, reddit, wikipedia etc".
mircea_popescu: aha. so : there's a bit of mismatch here, whereby the republic is powerful and rich, whereas the perception in usg owned peon farms is disjunct.
mircea_popescu: so this orm thing... is it what they call old style media agencies ? a sort of ogilvy&mather for the internet age ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform same here lmao. girl's been raising hell over there apparently.
mircea_popescu: not assume independence, not merely outsource the burden of proof to government, etc.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform but have to keep astrology classes separate. then within any class, yes value function=1 for all items.
mircea_popescu: "LibrePlanet was held March 25-26 in Cambridge, Massachusetts at the Stata Center on the campus of MIT." << whole story.
mircea_popescu: incidentally, by now the tmsr schadenfreunde is probably peaking. all sorts of wanna-be groups that "have been doing it for longer" and bla bla.
mircea_popescu: so you'd think. but then how many esl azns do you bed, cuz nobody speaks the truth outside the bedroom.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo basically, the difference between orcs and niggers is that the niggers know they're niggers, the orcs still have delusions.
mircea_popescu: in the sense the 1985 market was similar to that from 1975, except all the "make your own computer" boxes were now made by ibm
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform oh, the little wolverine huh. she's one spirited hussy.
mircea_popescu: scratch the surface of "diversity" and "World of choice" juyst a little, admire the self-same oroborus maggot.
mircea_popescu: too bad you can't use bitcoin for anything. must be why it's crashing
mircea_popescu: should i have said " how much dough the etsy chicks don't make" ?
mircea_popescu: the proper equivalent of "he has either x of q or y or p but not both" is equivalent to "i only use p, and he has an x but IT IS NEVER THE X HE NEEDS haha! take that bitch! murphy works for me!"
mircea_popescu: security modelling is not engineering, it's modelling.
mircea_popescu: if you do not, your hallucination of added security comes from your own arbitrary imposition of further constraints on attacker ; NOT from actual security.
mircea_popescu: now it should be apparent : in the first case you let attacker have X of Q. in the second case, you MUST let him have X of Q and Y of P.
mircea_popescu: here's what you move to : "I have a Q and a P". here's the correct statement : "Of all the possibles that may exist, Q and P, I have both".
mircea_popescu: here's how you state the story : "I have a Q". here is the correct statement : "Of all the possible Q that could ever exist, I have Q, the one and sole and only."
mircea_popescu: nope. in fact, thinking about enemy in this specified sense is inviting error.
mircea_popescu: lobbes how the fuck is bringing watermelons supposed to be discriminatory ? he wasn't gonna let the white guys have any ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform point there was that enemy will have access to some plaintext of each stream.
mircea_popescu: and "what should you do" ? why, "your own". but HOW ? oh... just... you know. your own.
mircea_popescu: and in other (lengthy) lulz : i cursed new girl with the old mpoe-pr curse, if you haven't guessed by now. the tardstalk this time is "black hat world", dedicated to "seo" and shit.
mircea_popescu: what is so SPECIAL about him that you get to move but he has to stay put ?
mircea_popescu: you rpopose to move to situation two, where there's two streams AND YOU ALSO PROPOSE to not permit enemy to know 500bytes of each stream. why not ?
mircea_popescu: look. situation 1, there's one stream, and enemy knows 1kb.
mircea_popescu: if you get to double your heads, so does eve : now she has knowledge of a segment half size in each stream. tada.
mircea_popescu: but that nothing is entirely predicated of assumptions on how exactly "knowledge of segment" translates into the new world.
mircea_popescu: the problem now is at the next link in the chain, the fs.
mircea_popescu: leaving us with this situation where "a different hash function" is not even a meaningful mathematical construction.
mircea_popescu: yet nevertheless, the "g is a different hash function from f" "how do we know ?" "because george named his g and florence named hers f" is nonsense.
mircea_popescu: and so in certain context, such as this one, the correct assumption...
