decimation: My first
thought is
to rue
those insights
that would have been lost because some peasant wasn't in
the right WoT.
Then I remember
the concern most nobles demonstrated by searching for
talent within
their own fields.
mircea_popescu: as we'd be
the only ones able
to read and write anyway
decimation: mircea_popescu: i'm not even reactionary, myself, i've not gotten so far. some visiting french politics professor called me "white" << Sometimes I wonder what
the world would be like
today if Marx had perished while affixed
to
the wall of some landgrave's dungeon.

mod6: ok, i ripped
that part out. will be less confusing without
that in
there.
mircea_popescu: "Guest95361: I can say with 100% certainty
that
they have
them" lmao do
these fuckwits even comprehend how
this bitcoin
thing works ?
mod6: thought it would filter out what doesn't have 2 conf's
to
that addr.
mod6: oh huh, i'm adding on
this "?confirmations=2" part
to
the end of
the req.
BingoBoingo: I remember
the good old days of
the student health clinic where
the meeting with
the doctor was merely a formality.
mircea_popescu: The worst part is
the prescribe
the exact same
thing I would have prescribed myself if I could just go
to
the pharmacy with a shopping list like an actual human being at a store <<
this is how i shop for medicine.
mircea_popescu: Naphex: and its unlikely for ssh
to have /etc/shadow in memory << maybe in some weird case it could have it in child memory, which is
the claim.

mircea_popescu: Naphex: cloudflare makes little sense
to me << or
to anyone whose brain works enough
to power a goat.
mircea_popescu: " In
the last few months, Mt.Gox collapsed, bitcoin has lost half of its value. "
mircea_popescu: in
the words of
this romanian rap band, "Am vazut cu ochii mei
tovarasi cum se duc de rapa... bagat in vena, ma bucur ca am fost pe scena. Rand pe rand scandaluri, multi din ei s-au dus..."
mike_c: yeah, i've read
those. i just find a
tough stock as a potential investor.
ozbot: Why S.MPOE is worth more
than MtGox pe
Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
mircea_popescu: back
then we were wtfing at "which would put S.MPOE somewhere around 8 million dollars, which would be excessive."
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform kinda my point. i don't really
think btc went up in price 10x, or mpex foe
that matter.
mircea_popescu: but
this seems hardly a discussion of value and worth.
mircea_popescu: i guess sure, if btc ends up 1 mn dollarts
then mpex will be worth w/e, many
trillions
mircea_popescu: i don't
think your
typical mpex holder has any interest in
the bitcoin price of
tyhe various fiats.
mike_c: and it hasn't seemed
to do so in previous bumps.
mike_c: then it'll have
to
tank pretty hard given
the btc appreciation
that's going
to happen
mircea_popescu: not
that i didn;'t say roughly
the same about 100s of millions a year ago, but still.
mircea_popescu: mike_c "and a company
that will probably be worth billions
this
time next year." well look, i like myself just as much as
the next guy, but srsly, billions ? seems improbable.
mircea_popescu: bounce: can someone please put
the usg out of our misery? << oooonly yoooouuuu
mircea_popescu: "Here at Rockwell Automation's world headquarters, research has been proceeding
to develop a line of automation products
that establishes new standards for quality,
technological leadership, and operating excellence. With customer success as our primary focus, work has been proceeding on
the crudely conceived idea of an instrument
that would not only provide inverse reactive current for use in unilateral phase detracto
mircea_popescu: "have become an up and coming" da fuck is
that word salad.
mircea_popescu: "The Forex Exchange market has become an up and coming method of financial
trading. As an innovator and initiator in
the online foreign exchange business, Rockwell Partners S.A. is a mover and a shaker and on
the forefront of
the online
trading market."
mircea_popescu: dude
the fucking crown.
this reminds me of
the golden age of Bs, where all
the shitty studios had names like MONARCH
mircea_popescu: mike_c: i don't even see how you can ponzi at 50% a month.
that is insane. << actually romanian ponzi
thing did 800% in 3 months. it paid out for a year and a half.
mircea_popescu: mike_c: (i'm secretly hoping i'm not
the worst in
the channel at languages) << he's just speaking a secret italian nobody else knows about.
mircea_popescu: pankkake: I guess
that's
the value of drama << asciilifeform check
this out.
the derpy openssh vulnerability ppl wanted 20 btc.
the neobeeq drama was 80 btc.
mircea_popescu: mike_c: well, didn't you hear? mp is extradited
to antartica
to face AEC security fraud charges. << no dude, i just had an argument with a bottle of wine and some lazagna.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yeah, in
the end, interesting case study in nonsense. it's piled up quite exquisitely high.
ozbot: PayPal Exec Goes on
Twitter Spree Insulting Coworkers
mircea_popescu: at least
they had
the decency
to sort
the coins in
the relative order of probability of someone falling for it.
mircea_popescu: tries
to sell it as if it were, irrelevant what wordage
they use.
mircea_popescu: but it WOULDN'T be woirthless
today, which means,
the proposed situation is unfactual.
mircea_popescu: the average
time for you
to catch a 2nd
team using your exploit would be, a decade
to a century. and
this only if
they're clueless enough
to go after random boxes.
mircea_popescu: suppose you run 1k boxes as honeypots distributed all over
the web.
mircea_popescu: so a
team advanced enough
to have had a leet 0day for
two years and enough honeypots
to catch a 2nd
team in
time
mircea_popescu: "We don't have access
to exploit black markets and we are now happy
to offering"
mircea_popescu: "(Yes, we build honeypots rules for our exploits)"
this seems weak. imagine
the odds someone using it actually fell on a honeypot
they ran.
mircea_popescu: Mircea Popescu @Mircea_Popescu @acav Being privileged is being
the good guy. If
the other guy weren't a lazy fuckwit, he'd be privileged
too.
mircea_popescu: twitterers
threaten
the world with shutting
the fuck up
mircea_popescu: it occurs
to me
the
twitter superlative is "this left me speechless". sorta like bad kids
threatening
the world with going upstairs and cleanning out
their room,
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves: heh a major investor of Ripple is also one for Pando << you're starting
to see why we want pando outcompeted :)
mircea_popescu: much like scammers, which is what
they are,
the proponents of large welfarist government will simply have
to keep
trying
to come back forevar.
mircea_popescu: davout: it's just in
the continuation of debt money, it's not really a competitor
to bitcoin in any way << logically, as
the statists keep getting beaten out of
things,
they'll regroup around similar-looking, similar-sounding, different
things. again and again and again.
BingoBoingo: Or it waits for other injuries
to
the barrier
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Usually when
they find
that microbe
they don't find it in
the
throat, but in
the cerebrospinal fluid
mod6: ah
that. yeah, i recall.
BingoBoingo: mod6: Maybe.
They already have a useful version of
that. I'm more refering
to
their having a working LibreSSL package,
their fork from OpenSSL
