mike_c: but
to audit existing btc wallet? forget it.
kuzetsa: mircea_popescu: but... I don't have any cgi on
the
httpd, nor are any of
the other daemons
the sort which use environment variables
to pass stuff around (using bash or otherwise)
mike_c: if i wrote a new btc wallet (or managed development
thereof), it would be secure for fear of above methods
mike_c: these methods (beating, wot, etc) could be applied
to new software
mircea_popescu: whether
to make
the piss freeze or
to
try and electrolytically separate iron from shit is an exercise left for
the engineer.
mircea_popescu: if he says
this sitting right next
to a lathe i'm going
to smack his head on
the lathe.
mircea_popescu: besides.
there's iron in
the heme
that
the shit is mostly comprised of.
mircea_popescu: as long as you let me beat
them selectively i'll have my bomb, and some adoring princesses
to follow me around
to boot.
mircea_popescu: in fact, it's
the sentinels
that distinguish army from band of drunken revelers.
mircea_popescu: there's no such
thing as "the army is generally watching
the surroundings". no dude, sentinels, since 2000 years ago and never with an exception since.
mircea_popescu: unless a meteor falls,
they're coming home with 10 kids.
mircea_popescu: case 2, every hour of
the day one adult is in charge of watching
the kids. if anything happens he's in for murder.
mircea_popescu: let's model
this. people with young children go camping. 20 adults, 10 children. case 1, "people generally" look after
the kids.
mircea_popescu: it's only empirically false because it's so easy
to lie.
mircea_popescu: you don't need round stones
to produce round stones. you just need a rotative process.
mircea_popescu: in order for
the job
to be done, nobody needs
to do it.
mircea_popescu: just because
they meanwhile fell off doesn't mean you didn't need
them
to get here.
mircea_popescu: the reason airbus is a
thing is because
the romans forced men
to push oars.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform all flight started with
the galley slave.
mircea_popescu: except,
twice as much, plus all
the other benefits of not having
to deal with
the insane arbitrariety of only doing it
to half
the population
mircea_popescu: once
the "you have one chance, don't fuck it up" model gets implemented universally, we'll have a wholesale return
to
the pleasant mores of
the society constructed on enforcing
the same principle upone women only.
mircea_popescu: all
the current fucktards calling
themselves "developers" would find
themselves in
the positon of
taaki, maxwell et co stat, once someone started leveraging
that model aginst
their scummy, indolent, ignorant idiocy.
assbot: So
the Dollar Vigilante scam ring is going
to jail. pe
Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
mircea_popescu: jurov: redhat would be in a position
to do it << redhat is a usg subcontractor.
this is like saying goldman sachs is in a position
to break
the aml/kyc bullshit ring.
mircea_popescu: so if your per line price can be few enough satoshi,
this is a valid business model.
mircea_popescu: jurov: is anyone willing
to pay "we have read
the code for you" kind of security? <<< yes. but it's like
the case with drinking water : people ARE wiling
to pay for drinking water ; people are not willing
to pay
to have a dam constructed.
kuzetsa: Naphex, asciilifeform: yeah... I've had
to stop neglecting a production server and finally run updates
today because of shellshock :(
wywialm: Oh, yeah. In
this we certainly agree
mircea_popescu: "map is not
the
territory", "stat rosa pristina nomine, nomina nuda
tenemus", pick your poison.
mircea_popescu: wywialm no, you're right, it's just... it's a fundamental idea
that saw much expression.
wywialm: I recall something close stated in Investigations, in
the flavour of "the meaning is use"
mircea_popescu: for
that matter, it's a direct pastiche of knight, “You cannot fix a machine by just power-cycling it with no understanding of what is going wrong.”
wywialm: mircea_popescu,
that sounds very much like Wittgenstein - correct me if i'm wrong
mircea_popescu: people figured it'd work maybe if you not
teach him
to say goto 10
mircea_popescu: which is why you can have good programmers
that speak english, russian or whatever else natively, as well as c or lisp or whatever else ; but you can't make someone a good programmer by
teaching him
to say i++;
mircea_popescu: this is exactly
the case in here.
to imagine one can somehow magically learn "the language" without a) passing
the requisite
tests and b) interiorising
the culture
that spawned
that language is naive. and if a and b is satisfgied,
the form of language is really moot anyway.
mircea_popescu: ing even may be an excessive requirement. if on
the other hand in a room with a woman
that doesn't want
to, you can be e a poe for all
the good it'll do you.
mircea_popescu: bounce: now it would help if we can properly articulate what ails us. but we can't, because
the
terminology has been deliberately confused and watered down and broadened and stretched (by
the industry) so as
to spread FUD more effectively << you are very naive
to imagine
the
terminology has anything
to do with it. point in case : if in a room with a woman
that wants
to fuck me, i don't need
to speak her language. point
assbot: KernelMode.info • View
topic - Linux/Bash0day alias Shellshock alias Bashdoor
mike_c: seemed
to be heading
that direction :)
mircea_popescu: this bullshit where
the lower classes are pushing
the language out of shape because
they're filthy and stupid can not be
tolerated.
mircea_popescu: mats_cd03: language drifts news at 11 << language drifting so as
to serve
the interests and needs of
the upper class is fine.
gribble: Dekker3D was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 11 weeks, 4 days, 0 hours, 40 minutes, and 47 seconds ago: <Dekker3D> I remember someone who used
this.
jurov: asciilifeform: me
too. but
that's
the usg-approved look
mircea_popescu: since
they can't find a sponge
that comfortably fits a calender
mircea_popescu: and decide
that condoms are bad for africa and pills bad for
the environment
mircea_popescu: after he rolls her around in flour
to see where it sticks
they have long soulfull
talk
mircea_popescu: the feminist is a 650 lb mountain dew and icecream behemoth with a very popular
twitter profile, and a lot of lj experience.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
the guy is a 65 lb environmentalist vegan artist with a lot of etsy success, on lesswrong and patronize or w/e
that donation site is.
mircea_popescu: this is exactly what's going on. kids are wired
to monkey, so
they monkey.
mircea_popescu: bounce: VERY DANGEROUS UBERHACKERS << ever see a woman with a little girl
trying
to cook while
the little girl stirred some random items in a smaller pot immitating her ?
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves:
they wanna jedi mind
trick
the fappening and NSA etc <<
there's probably a feminst and an environmentalist somewhere in
the us
that actually will buy into it.
mircea_popescu: in unrelated news : i've added an email filter rule
to drop anything with "bounce" in
the headers. best rule ever.
mircea_popescu: "Username/password combinations don’t cut it anymore, and
Two-Factor authentication is a great way
to help secure user accounts. If you have an account with a system
that supports it, you should be using it."
Naphex: what a stupid payload
to even ping back
assbot: Whoops! Somebody divided by zero... | btcXchange.ro - Bitcoin Exchange Platform with 0%
transaction fees
Naphex: they're quick
to update
Naphex: lots of .govs love it
too
nubbins`: "those
tippies are unusually smooth", i said
to myself
jurov: ;;titlasers should be a
thing
Naphex: people running CGI must be blowing
their minds right now
Naphex: woot, so bash env backdoor, who would've
tought :o
