mircea_popescu: it's been kept alive since by various doods wishing to pose
as miners
Vexual: the vines are
as old
as our country and the waitresses are too far from home to drive
mircea_popescu: i don't think sore losers are
as much a problem
as stupid losers are.
Vexual: i see everything
as a win, but im unstable
nubbins`: this may come
as a surprise, but most people have no particular interest in leaving the place they were born and raised in
Vexual: and in bitcoin we have a unique,
as yet untyested case
Vexual: compare that to a similar organisation such
as hezbollah
Vexual: its interesting to see these industrial innovations changing the new reserve currency
as america loses it's grasp that was built with industrial innovation
bitesak:
as it is crazy times, chances of a 1000 rally and crash is possible
mircea_popescu: just
as long
as it doesn't do retarded shit like shoot up through 1k or w/e.
bitesak: is it reasonable to argue it is in China's interest to support and accumulate bitcoins
as a hedge and part of an exit of their dwindling USD base
as well
as precipating even faster the demise of the dollar?
Azelphur: mircea_popescu: I'm dubious
as to if a difficulty spike of this magnitude will happen again for a while now though - we've jumped through all iterations of current technology
mircea_popescu: by their distorted reasoning,
as there's not enough tax income to satisfy both of these, there will be a default.
mircea_popescu: the situation ios like this : each state has some income
as tax receipts, and some expenses. in actual reality, the first claim to tax receipts goes to servicing the debt.
mod6: wow: In 2009, a Montgomery County, Maryland, teacher berated and had school police remove a 13-year-old girl who refused to say the Pledge of Allegiance in the classroom. The student's mother, assisted by the American Civil Liberties Union of Maryland, sought and received an apology from the teacher,
as state law and the school's student handbook both prohibit students from being forced to recite the Pledge
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I'm pretty sure I've told him before, but
as long
as I don't triple dot elipse it should be in the logs
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: The 89 at least has a 3.5 like audio jack. I'm kind of leaning towards Mircea's orgy microphone
as a seed input idea.
nubbins`: i think they were updating that
as late
as 1997
BingoBoingo: nubbins`: I actually acquired it at the same school surplus auction
as the Mac Classic I need to replace with the SE/30. It was about $75 I spent that day on three computers, two barcode/QR guns, and a printer.
BingoBoingo: nubbins`: Maybe/Probably. I've found a QR code gun for its weird Serial port though. The only reason I'm thinking SE/30 is NetBSD won't build on the Mac Classic I have
as it requires the 030 or 020 plus coprocessor.
benkay: far more effective to just freeze water and then use that
as the heat sink for a turbine if you have local waste heat
jurov: lol they can be used
as seats, too... you sit on it, cause pressure increase, car starts moving
gecko_x2: but this post doesn't mention coins
as i'm thinking
gecko_x2: and
as the 1 month encrypted data, when it's time to decrypt
gecko_x2: i think that a single static key
as a concept is pretty much dead
bitesak: I'll probably start with one, test it and do my best to understand it and use it
as a means to promote use of GPG among friends and girlfriends
bitesak: i see it
as the first physical product made through and thanks to bitcoin, other than Bitcoin coins and Tshirt branded stuff I guess.
nubbins`: if the grocery store isn't going to take your gold for payment, you can have
as much of it
as you want
pankkake:
as we say, « vivons cachés, vivons heureux » (live hidden, live happy)
dub: also the guy outed
as having stabbed old ladies to death in a drunken rampage
turbo_ac100: "the last" doesn't refer to the last increase, i.e. 20% -> 24 % and so on but rather "the last" difficulty
as in ;;diffchange will be > 20%
fractal: all the idiots saying that bitcoin only has value because of SR --- i've been saying its not true for 2 years... now i am vindicated. i will be proven right again
as we hit $250 this year once more
dub: fwiw I have been before the courts
as more than defendant :)
mircea_popescu: anyway. i ended up getting a court order so extensive they ended up having to a) issue me a special made document,
as in, without expiration date and b) modify their regulations.
mircea_popescu: most notably we had a dispute
as to whether a foreign worker's qualifications are to be evaluated by its employer or the bureaucrats.
jurov: and if the adversary can time their attack precisely, they can
as well tranquilize you right after you typed gpg passphrase
jurov: such
as denying that attack vector exists "in any circumstance" mkay.
jurov:
as evidenced by gpg --list-keys
nanotube: though it's certainly "not
as much benefit
as we'd hope"
nanotube: anyway, so my point is, it's good to have fde, to have easy 'blanket' protection against the common issue of accidental loss. and then you can use another layer such
as gpg to protect the 'really important stuff'
mircea_popescu: nanotube
as long
as it's not bootable, perhaps it can be well implemented.
nanotube: and if you do the same, you got my gpgd stuff just
as well.
mircea_popescu: nanotube and
as to "use both" : the point of science, any science, is to isolate what works from what doesn't and exclude the latter. this is why dentist treats your teeth his way rather than recommending you "also use shaman method".
nanotube: gecko_x2: indeed. the information has served
as a catalyst for thought and improvement.
nanotube: gecko_x2: yea, but one could avoid using the on-cpu rng.
as to tor: would be even better if we had more nodes. there are only a total of 4k-ish.
nanotube: aye, gpg is just
as vulnerable to hardware keyloggers
as full disk encryption. if that's your threat model, there's no reason to recommend one over the other.
dexX7: thus "full disk encryption ... that
as of yet does not work" is somewhat incorrect imho. lame analogy: "passwords don't work, because you can install trojaner/keylogger"
mircea_popescu: "Dr. Garrow states President Obama had Tom Clancy killed
as well and noted that it takes 5 days for plant toxins and most poisons to break down and leave no traces in the human body. Amazingly enough, or coincidentally, the doctors did not perform an autopsy on Tom Clancys body for 5 days."
mircea_popescu: In April 2006, fugitive Mafia boss Bernardo Provenzano was captured in Sicily partly because some of his messages, written in a variation of the Caesar cipher, were broken. Provenzano's cipher used numbers, so that "A" would be written
as "4", "B"
as "5", and so on.
_Neil: Unless something's end-to-end encrypted I can't really trust it. It's that simple. It's not my job
as an honest person to figure out how to break it. I know it's been done many times.
pankkake: yes.
as a throwaway OS / live cd
mircea_popescu: for the further record, any piece of hardware that was ever at any point in its life connected to the internet can no longer be used
as part of an airgapped system. period.
mircea_popescu: i dropped the link
as a response to your blog comment,
mircea_popescu:
as prev discussed, those things are mostly a teaching tool. the same reason you don't race cars made out of legos, you don't use the openpgp smartcard for actual security.
kakobrekla: and attach
as many other not needed inputs
mircea_popescu: [17:56:26] shareholder1 mpex will be classified
as money launderers and terrorists
mircea_popescu: [17:56:20] da2ce796
as in, mpex will stop being our compittion.
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves anyway, in case that was before your time, "[17:05:52] shareholder3_ midterm this will win against MPEX and others
as they will get shut down soon too"
gecko_x2: is the same
as complaining to your torturer that keeps u in his basement about the quality of his food
ozbot: (11:41) < mod6> i started my new blockchain pull at the same time
as trying to u - Pastebin.com
nubbins`: my last name is pronounced the same way
as the word for marijuana in morocco
nospinzy: traveling with women is fucking anoying
as shit
nubbins`: mircea_popescu: travel with a woman and you preclude yourself from meeting nearly
as many other women
nubbins`: mircea_popescu: might
as well be
nospinzy: well i wouldnt change it, like i said police acting
as the gang or nigs running around with guns scarring white people
mjr_: drug business is the same
as all business
mjr_: same
as anytingelse
mircea_popescu: mjr_ the cost for the joe schmoes to understand and use multi tx > the probable loss to them
as is.
nubbins`: mjr_: so a 3-party tx where the site acts
as escrow?
ThickAsThieves: you give your money to drug distributor
as credit for future buys
mircea_popescu:
as well
as a bunch of "child porn" files on all hard drives
mircea_popescu: tho the lavabit prosecutor was TRYING,
as the judge pointed out
jurov: What if Silk Road is holding some of your Bitcoins
as part of some transaction? Why, all you have to do is show up and make a claim for them — in a case in which the government is saying that all or substantially all of the transactions through Silk Road are federal crimes. Bring a toothbrush.
nubbins`: see, traditional korean food is not only delicious
as fuck, but good for you
nubbins`: not
as repressed
as japan, but close
nubbins`: SK
as a rule are intensely dedicated to this
mircea_popescu: make it clear that
as long
as the provincial govt continues with the practice, everyone's weekeend is shot.
nubbins`: "so basically if you abandoned your shopping cart because you wanted a cointerra instead, ken is still counting your order
as a sale"
jimmy2k: i will upload the screen in the forum
as soon
as i am at home
nubbins`: although obv just
as likely to happen
as any other given 40-roll combo
