Neil: That $250k went straight into BTC
as soon
as it could
Neil:
As always, asked to sign "Confidentiality agreement". Turned up without said paper, amongst all the rest.
ozbot: Interacting with fiat institutions [such
as the SEC], a guide
Neil: Cool, thought
as much
davout: basically my point is that the mm algo is now what i imagined it to be initially, so that it should work
as everyone expects it
LordPutin: they havea file on you
as well dood
bitcoinpete: benkay: well, in a nutshell, those were the dreams-of-smed-school days, a dream resolved by B- grades and a lot of poker. after undergrad, this being alberta, i spent a year selling trucks and started blogging. after selling truck got boring, i did an after-degree in environmental health and spent 2.5 years working
as a public health inspector with the province. then…bitcoin. always had an interest in tech, investing,
moiety: not btc!!! << play money
as mircea woould say :P
mircea_popescu: in general because old men fear shameless hussies
as the likely agents of young alpha males, which is how you say "evil" for old people.
ozbot: Interacting with fiat institutions [such
as the SEC], a guide
okcjosh: will it pay off? Right now a may GHS is around 33% the price of a live GHS. Does buying 3 times
as many GHS for may have a good chance of paying out more, based on estimated Diff increase?
mircea_popescu: Shakespeare people often misrepresent their boredom and pointlessness
as "discontent"
mircea_popescu: or else
as an amateur, having at least seen that film.
mircea_popescu: one may discuss pedophilia either
as an actual professional, having gone to proper school for it
mircea_popescu: Shakespeare now, getting back to your original q, economic independence is not problematic, just
as long
as its not backed by legal independence.
mircea_popescu: the answer my friend (
as you well know) is that feminism is not a theory, nor science, but a marketing ploy.
mircea_popescu: "you may continue to pretend you're a country just
as soon
as you come to terms with us being immune"
mircea_popescu: in it, the father teaches his pubescent daughter the difference between "us" and "those people"
as a matter of course,
mircea_popescu: they have this special immunity thing, they don't have to
as long
as they stay in the "foreigner" zone
Shakespeare:
as an aside while i read, do you consider a state leader imposing law that results in more children to be smart or dumb?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform more open minded, in this context, is for instance considering the point that a severe beating is liable to be at least
as effective an educational tool
as speech.
Shakespeare: my wife is pissed at me because i said people dont pasteurize chemicals and i wasnt polite enough (being wrong wasnt even the issue,
as she was talking about apple cider vinegar, and i was talkign about acetic acid)
mircea_popescu: The current digital currency narrative, while certainly attractive to entrepreneurs, venture capital, and the media, is extremely "First World" in nature. And a primary question remains -- do such innovations,
as we know them today, address the needs of consumers and businesses on both sides of an international transaction?
mircea_popescu: "The Piraeus bond deal underscores both the continued improvement in the perception of Greeces economy
as well
as the flood of cash in the financial system that has depressed returns on debt of all stripes."
Shakespeare: basically seens
as the cuddly mobster with a beach bod
Shakespeare: Putin is doing pretty well with his branding
as is
mircea_popescu: putin should come out of the closet
as a furry or something, just to troll reddit.
mircea_popescu: "Unlike competing Polish, Russian, Hungarian or Romanian nationalisms in late imperial Austria, imperial Russia, interwar Poland and Romania, Ukrainian nationalism did not include antisemitism
as a core aspect of its program and saw Russians
as well
as Poles
as the chief enemy with Jews playing a secondary role." lmao.
mircea_popescu: and inasmuch
as this is the case, which exact label one picks serves
as a group identification. if you use the russian propaganda terminology you basically are throwing up a flag and little more.
mircea_popescu: im merely saying that the neonazi label is about
as approximative
as calling them "knights of the cuisinart", or freemasons.
mircea_popescu: "death to the jews" is, at least in europe, about
as common
as "open your legs, i'm not gonna do anything"
mircea_popescu: no,
as i say. it can't be a proper nazi party for
as long
as it seriously contemplates accepting any ukrainian national in its ranks.
mircea_popescu: for instance, a rejection of ukrainians
as lower stock ?
mircea_popescu: which... you know, has to to with nazism about
as much
as mice and men with martin short and steven segall has to do with french impresionism
mircea_popescu:
as far
as i recall the nazis raped ukraine pretty good, the notion someone there actually is much of a nazi is ridicxulous on its face to begin with.
bloctoc: thanks benkay. So, I'm looking at S.EUR
as... WTF is S.EUR?
bitmia: both
as a seller and a buyer
chetty: but
as a buyer I dont really want my crypto too easy
chetty: well maybe if you had asked, hey guys, what do you think of X
as a data soirce ... just sayin
BingoBoingo: If there was a conjunction is this language that functioned
as a one way or such that [(A&B) or B] I would have use it instead
LordPutin: i'm so scared, i failed her
as a father
ThickAsThieves: "We've collected and analyzed data from numerous sources to create
as complete and interesting profiles of all U.S. cities
as we could. "
jurov: so it's the same company
as made XRP?
mircea_popescu: this being written
as a sort of pulp fiction-esque prequel of today's lineup.
benkay: can't say
as much stuck, and i missed out on the apparently crucial canings...
mircea_popescu: "The two versions of RussiaMcCains gas station masquerading
as a country and Lakes fearsome conquerorboth start from the same bitter knowledge, even if Senator McCain and Mr. Lake will never admit that fact in public. Its a simple one: Russia will take Crimea, wont pay a big price for it, and theres not a thing anyone can do about it."
mircea_popescu: because if they do hold enough they're going to trigger a contest with the chinese
as to who dumps them first
ozbot: BitBet - Bitcoin to surpass Berkshire
as an investment
benderp: it's kinda rough
as these airplane pieces can be
mircea_popescu: "OP, I know cryptostocks makes it seem
as though starting your very own security is a sort of past time accessible to anyone who'd like to try, sort of like adopting a pet fish. This has nothing to do with bitcoin securities in fact and everything to do with play-pretend exchanges exploiting those who'd like to try but aren't ready for one reason or another."
ninjashogun: When I had been coming in here it was following an experience over a similar channel (related to doge) on a loan.
As someone here (asciilifeform?) explained, I should have 'no problem' getting a loan of $20K. In fact I did have "no problem" on it, but in the end I couldn't collect it, and had come in here over a few days to see if anyone were interested in the same.
ninjashogun: I'm Robert,
as I mentioned. I hadn't talked to you guys before.
☟︎ dignork: ninjashogun,
as simple
as possible, wifi transmitter on key-storage device will leak cpu state of key-handling process, game over.
BingoBoingo: ninjashogun: Maybe you are the wrong audience
as you aren't concerned very far
ninjashogun: personally anyone who could bruteforce all that, while breaking wireless encyrption and your whole network stack, can see the damn document
as far
as I'm concerned. and they still wouldn't have my private key.
ninjashogun: asciilifeform, further,
as a practical matter you are not being asked to transmit a real key. You are just transmitting a stupid session key that is used to sign a single document. And if that session key is used in javascript, which is VERY far from the metal (it's a VM, running in interpreter, JS running in a C++ program, firefox, running on Windows) you would have to have insnae precision on learning exact CPU state.
BingoBoingo: It isn't just about the definition of an airgap, but of the motivations behind it
as well that make radio the wrong medium for connecting to such boxes
ninjashogun: dignork - but then they could no longer treat it
as a mass-storage device.
ninjashogun: Again, none of this is to take away from the design
as I've already read about it here. I like it a lot.
ninjashogun: (my hardware has future versions
as well, that we haven't done any work toward)
ninjashogun: What changes with Wifi? Well, you can still have a man in the middle, but it would be much more prohibitive. It would need a complete access point that connects to the device masquarading
as the computer, while exposing itself to the computer and hiding the true signal from the computer. It's possible, but more difficult. And in the end the computer can do a complete secure session (in javascript with the browser) compl
ninjashogun: BingoBoingo, since this device
as described does NOT retain the signed document in memory, it is therefore signing something without knowing what it is, if it has been transferred between the PC and storage medium.
ninjashogun: BingoBoingo, also, in my personal opinion
as a security observer, a man in the middle attack with a PC (or laptop) being opened, and a second usb host being inserted between the real USB and the device, whose purpose is to subtlely alter what is being signed, is a very real risk.
BingoBoingo: ninjashogun: I mean why not some sort of cable that might only incidentally happen to function
as an antenna, for which shielding is possibly. WHy demand an active antenna throwing your bits around?
ninjashogun: BingoBoingo, however, it is absolutely doubtless that wifi protocols get roughly 100x
as much security research
as the usb protocol does.
ninjashogun: mircea_popescu, in fact it could be set to ONLY sign/encrypt/decrypt the next 1 message or 2 messages. So that it can't be stolen off someone's body,
as it's in theri home and will only sign the next 2 things.
mircea_popescu: to further save costs, the entire thing could be done over the web,
as an app
ninjashogun: it could also come iwth storage, so that it could be used
as a "wireless storage device" (thru the browser). rather than have to plug and unplug a usb stick.
ninjashogun: this suggestion isn't for the current version, which
as a piece of hardware is great.
ninjashogun: mircea_popescu, I don't mean to pick on Romania. For many of my examples I'm really thinking of Hungary, and using it
as an analogy.
ninjashogun: mircea_popescu, I think your model is a very, very fair one under normal circumstances. (Such
as the Efficient Market Hypothesis.) However, I have very deep theoretical proof that your model is mistaken, and that these founders were in fact leveraging the same opportunity inefficiency that I am.
ninjashogun: Note that the wireless portion doesn't exist at all. I don't even have a specan (spectrum analyzer). The only eqiupment I developed is with large arduinos,
as well
as mockups of what it could look like.
ninjashogun: asciilifeform, I know how one "traditionally" secures capital, but it is usually against assets such
as a house, etc.
ninjashogun: asciilifeform, at this point I need the loan in order to get to the stage of prototype that the investors need to test (
as part of their due dilligence also) and see in close to the final form factor.
