asciilifeform: i've found 0 mentions in print dated prior ~1970, in any language. but then again i did not dedicate life to searching for this atlantis.
mircea_popescu: i know the specs and etc because it was in the management class, workforce hazards.
mircea_popescu: but it's self limiting enough that it never was as fashionable as i dunno, raising cats.
asciilifeform: because i have a distinct memory of a piece re 'sniffing' being wholly unknown until popularized by a certain nyt piece (wholly fabricated 'threat-or-menace?' hackjob)
mircea_popescu: i'm pretty sure it's toluene because of the tell-tale parasympathetic lesions leading to loss of ability to regulate body heat in abusers.
BingoBoingo: <ben_vulpes> "Obamacare's markets are nearing failure as premiums climb and healthier individuals drop out" << did someone cancel the penalty for rolling uninsured or am i missing something here << "Rolling uninsured" penalty is trivial compared to Obamacare subscription
mircea_popescu: meanwhile i'm sitting here looking at fy 2016 during which it seems i paid approximately 2.47%, and this is before figuring in the easements from the women i own.
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: i am fair miserly though
ben_vulpes: lest anyone get the wrong idea, i don't tend to pick fights with the irs.
asciilifeform: what's 'max out' here? i slept in a cave, and have genuinely nfi
ben_vulpes: phf: man once i got the simulator all wired up boy howdy was it nice to have unified keybindings for the mobile scutwork
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes i dunno, was top ticket in my week 1 argument with stan.
ben_vulpes: whoa wait how did i miss that
ben_vulpes: "Obamacare's markets are nearing failure as premiums climb and healthier individuals drop out" << did someone cancel the penalty for rolling uninsured or am i missing something here
mircea_popescu: i can fish out the exact article for you if you're curious.
ben_vulpes: "The real scandal here is that classified information is illegally given out by 'intelligence' like candy. Very un-American!" god i love realdonaldtrump
mircea_popescu: kinda why people tend to be cowardly in realpolitik. "yes i can nuke him, and that'll be the end of us both" sorta thing
mircea_popescu: they'll never be anything more than a sort of mexicans, i can use them as cumrags but not as germans.
mircea_popescu: whereas german, or japanese identity is i suspect forever lost at this point.
ben_vulpes: the re-carving of territory up by the replacement right and replacement left could be interesting. not saying that it is yet, or that it mustest be, but that if it does transpire i will pop corn.
asciilifeform: maybe i simply hate voodoo ciphers.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: in the scheme i described, and using, e.g., serpent, the p of an (x,y) recurring is ~0
asciilifeform: however what i do not know is whether it is a worse idea than ~block ciphers per se~ !
asciilifeform: in other noose, i realized that http://btcbase.org/log/2017-02-14#1613906 is a bad idea. ☝︎
asciilifeform: what i ~did~ find was a tremendous volume of deliberate, artful obscurantism, e.g. the german linked earlier.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> 'Politically, though, rehab further radicalized him. "All I did was read books on far-left theory," he said. "I started to understand intellectually what I already understood emotionally."' << lelz << What sort of shit rehab is that!
mircea_popescu: i dun know we never didn't hate uuids.
mircea_popescu: the more i think of it the more i'm satisfied this is the ur-underpinning. once women manage to get the slaughter of children taboo-ified, all the rest of the rot flows from there.
mircea_popescu: i mean, literally, that introduction is exactly on par with the misspelled "petition" linked earlier. "there is a rule agains what we're trying to do which is unfortunate (for the rule!) because we wanna do it anyway!"
mircea_popescu: i lulzed.
mircea_popescu: i had no idea it worked for men also.
mircea_popescu: you know this is traditionally the female maturation process ? "with menopause i did some reading, finally understood my place as i had already spent my life in"
asciilifeform: 'Politically, though, rehab further radicalized him. "All I did was read books on far-left theory," he said. "I started to understand intellectually what I already understood emotionally."' << lelz
mircea_popescu: lol. i ran into a few "owned a fortune in bitcoin" dorks here, also.
asciilifeform: 'I spent a cold night huddled in a grimy kitchen, befogged with eye-watering quantities of cigarette smoke, while young PKK militants lectured me on the crisis of late capitalism and the American media's sexual exploitation of women.'
mircea_popescu: i dunno how leet it is, if it alerts the victim
phf: i'd say this could be a new look, but she already looks like a williamsburg hipster from 8 years ago
ben_vulpes: i don't have enough compenstors on the ground yet apparently if there's a baby stroller type to be had
ben_vulpes: well now i gotta see this f350 of baby strollers
mircea_popescu: i like the "pagespeed" setting
ben_vulpes: and by lols i mean deaths-by-bureaucrat
ben_vulpes: hang 'em on hearsay i guess
asciilifeform: fwiw i am unaware of a poison where (supposing it was strictly wet-rag delivery) you get this.
pete_dushenski: ben_vulpes: i profit little from things that other people say they plan to do. you also can't dress today for tomorrow's weather.
Reuel: just couldnt resist posting that video I ran into
Reuel: but really I just wanted to say I liked the http://trilema.com/2017/the-plumbin-plumber/ and sequel
Reuel: I found your garlic, you vampires! https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=75&v=1_W-7hd4T2I
mircea_popescu: what happens if i find x y and xor em ?
mircea_popescu: i vaguely remember this
asciilifeform: i found that one. but i thought there was also another where i suggested a sideways cut of the knot
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i've been digging for the thread where we discussed CFB ('cipher block chaining'), the infamous penguin, etc. but could not find
mircea_popescu: i... i didn't know you swung that way
ben_vulpes: i think i found some great again in my butthairs last night
mircea_popescu: trinque understand the problem with "I will also be piling up the signed material for my records" : if during your lifespan you manage to lose eg a 30yo hdd, because you've built a reviewable system those txn will be reviewable. are you on the hook now for refunds ? ☟︎
mircea_popescu: i don't think there's anything fundamentally wrong with the otp approach as opposed to the signature approach tbh.
trinque: aha, I will change that.
danielpbarron: i'm trying to understand when a signature is prefered over a handshake of encrypted unsigned texts
trinque: I had already considered this, and one avenue there was to put the invoice data back into the encrypted challenge
trinque: I get unsigned text, I give you an encrypted OTP; how then are you to know that OTP corresponds on my end to an unmodified copy of your invoice?
trinque: danielpbarron: specifically in transit; I can't control what goes on in your castle, nor you in mine.
trinque: it was why I asked about human operator
mircea_popescu: suppose you have 3 you absolutely must pay among there. i hope youbrought a big http://trilema.com/2013/and-then-i-said-to-him-jimmy/
trinque: I will also be piling up the signed material for my records
danielpbarron: what is the purpose of a signature? generally i mean. because as I understand it, if the goal isn't to make the text public, it is possible to achieve whatever you want through 2 decryptions in the place of 1 signature
danielpbarron: thinking as in, i thought that's what you were talking about; not that i think it's needed
danielpbarron: i was thinking a signed thing per auction for the bidder/auctioneer to do something with
trinque: I don't see that they need to. Rather, deedbot ought to output regular deeds of the transactions it has processed in a given period (week/month)
lobbes: No real *need*, I guess. But if we are going to be deeding these things then I figured I ought to start thinking about what that'd entail from my end
lobbes: Other option I guess being I just keep running tabs and bill once a month or somesuch from my local box, signing from there
lobbes: mircea_popescu, regarding lobbesbot billing for auctions: I'm assuming it should be spitting out a signed bill. Problem being that lobbesbot currently sits on VPS, and I don't want my personal signing key to reside on that box. Would it be a bad idea to sign these bills with lobbesbot's key instead?
mircea_popescu: and in other "stop this motherfucking spaceship i want to get off", try and find a youtube tannenbaum that's not fucking lyrical to saccharine proportions.
mircea_popescu: "i can't see how crypto relates to me" is exactly how phantoms say "i think i mgiht be a phantom masquerading as a person". they're usually right, too.
trinque: ben_vulpes: http://trilema.com/2014/how-i-was-wrong-cuckolding-or-a-story-about-sigmas/
mircea_popescu: if i wanted to be a girly just like my dear papa i might be more interested.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> anyway, i could never see the business case for canada. << Their crop (softwood lumber) is already grown!!!
asciilifeform: maybe just me, but i like climates where i dun have to stay in the shielded dome, and can go out without a suit
asciilifeform: living in the swamp -- i can easily picture this
mircea_popescu: eh. do you understand i produce about ONE QUARTER TON of water a week through diligent application of electric power in this god forsaken shithole ?
mircea_popescu: honestly i'd rather buy in africa. anyway.
mircea_popescu: anyway, i could never see the business case for canada.
ben_vulpes: the room in which i grew up is larger than the house i rent today.
ben_vulpes: i'd not mind teh ukr, provided i could figure out where the shoosting is happening where it's likely to spread to etc etc
ben_vulpes: then i think slovenia was the next "what if"
gabriel_laddel_p: asciilifeform: very little of this is CL. The save-page-complete and save-page-as-text comes as part of the conkeror browser, and I just drive it with CL.
mircea_popescu: shou;ld prolly download each link's zip i guess.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: maybe i would, or maybe not, but the ~option~ gotta be there.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you would like the whole archive.is enchilada ? all the crap ~anyone~ ever saved there ? i imagine it's petabytes by now
mircea_popescu: dude fills in forms. i'm like "hey, when's the last time you saw me fill in a form ?". hilarity ensues.
asciilifeform: and i don't mean 'can mirror if i crawl the logs' but IN ONE SHOT
asciilifeform: (i.e. that i can mirror the ~existing material~ and ~archiver itself~ immediately)
asciilifeform: gabriel_laddel_p: the #1 thing i'd like from future archiver is duplicability
ben_vulpes: in other things i don't hate, this yamhill valley rose of pinots is not foul!
gabriel_laddel_p: one prior (many months ago) suggestion I liked: archive from that page to a depth of 2.
asciilifeform: 'I worry that people don’t appreciate how weird this is. I didn’t appreciate it for a long time. I guess I just figured that Grandpa used to talk about how back in his day movie tickets only cost a nickel; that was just the way of the world. But all of the numbers above are inflation-adjusted. These things have dectupled in cost even after you adjust for movies costing a nickel in Grandpa’s day. They have really, genuinely dect
ben_vulpes: gabriel_laddel_p: i don't hate this!
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yes, actually. i saw some harvest an acre of dicks, on their hands and knees.
ben_vulpes: better throw out the family canning tools i guess
gabriel_laddel_p: what I think: if someone has js turned on in their browser, it's because they want js. If turned off, they don't want it. I, at least, want an-accurate-as-possible archive of whatever shows up in the logs, including arbitrary files, videos etc.
asciilifeform: what do you think, gabriel_laddel_p ? i mentioned it because i needed to break in a new keyboard, or wut
mircea_popescu: what can i tell you. pdf gets displayed somehow. html is a notation for display. convert.
