mircea_popescu: you'll never be able
to decypher what i meant by
that. ever.
mircea_popescu: fluffypony oh
that ?
the greeks had it. here's an example :
mircea_popescu: da fuck, if you're gonna refer
to unrelated matters in your captatio, at least get
the facts straight. snowden was a contractor not an agent.
fluffypony: "Absolutely stability cryptographic system – it’s a system
that CAN BE DECIPHERED NEVER AND BY NOBODY AT ANY LEVEL OF DEVELOPMENT OF A SCIENCE AND COMPUTER FACILITIES (it can’t be cracked even with
the help of supercomputers, for example – with
the use of
the developed quantum computer, even if it is completely developed in
the future, because
the RMX protection system is released on a new class of mathematical functions unknown
to moder
BingoBoingo: Absolute stability prolly means
the private key is always
the same
mircea_popescu: "After
the scandal around
the National Security Agency (NSA ) of
the USA and after revelations of
the ex-agent of CIA Edward Snowden it became known
that NSA can crack cryptoprotection of Internet communications. "
pankkake: apparently "PGP" is an algorithm. it's next
to "RSA"
BingoBoingo: English may be rather flexible, but
Texas is less so
danielpbarron: no,
the people
there are pretty much
the same as anywhere else
danielpbarron: i visited a different false church
that was coincidentally located in Waco
BingoBoingo: I'm just
thinking
that
this
thing started with one dude and cows as opposed
to an entire group of dudes.
mircea_popescu: and
the
texas governor wasn't going omgwtfbbq at
the feds.
mircea_popescu: well...
there were no
thousands of armed people marching on waco from six states
mircea_popescu: very. cause everyone is comparing it
to
the waco
thing.
BingoBoingo: At least it is a very different
thing so far
than what would have happened in
the 90's
mircea_popescu: not
that it'll work, but
that's
the very substance of statal collapse : reasonable measures no longer actually work.
mircea_popescu: can resume at a later
time, when
teh people have had
time
to grind
themselves down.
mircea_popescu: it's what i'd do
too. if
the guy
takes
the cattle away, problem solved. if he doesn't,
then by definition
they'll still be
there,
BingoBoingo: Looks like it, or at least
they are "pausing" it
BingoBoingo: but I
think asciilifeform posted
that
this weekend
BingoBoingo: Well,
there's also
the standoff in Utah between government forces and a local militia
ozbot: IRS Seizing
Tax Refunds of Children, Grandchildren Over Parents' Decades-Old Debts | Fox News Inside
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla you see
that ? "thanks for
the 60 minutes of fun"
the man says. why can't you be more like
that!
los_pantalones: and see if
that would critically impact other prior bets
mircea_popescu: to leverage
the fact
that we have a 50 year history of price signal in
that asset.
mircea_popescu: a good approach, perhaps, would be
to create a class of similar bets and follow
them over
the history of brk.a
los_pantalones: can i ask if you are pro/anti
the accelerated decay argument?
los_pantalones: welp, let me see if i can put something coherent
together in
the next couple days
mircea_popescu: then if i don't understand wtf you're saying ima ask somebody
to read it
to me.
mircea_popescu: you can assume complete and absolute comprehension on
the part of -assets, like you were
talking
to god.
mircea_popescu: also
to voice yourself, id with gribble an pm assbot !up
mircea_popescu: los_pantalones i was hoping for something more along
the lines of a set of numeric examples, or in any sense some math analysis. opinion based we've had already, such as for instance :
ozbot: The elitism memory hole effect pe
Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
los_pantalones: i started a math optimization as well, prob best not
to share
that
though
ozbot: bitbet
time decay - Pastebin.com
los_pantalones: mircea_popescu
this is admittedly from
the first
time i looked at
the contracts
BingoBoingo: ;;google site:trilema.com let us understand mutual betting
together
los_pantalones: so
the longer it's not near
the event
the lower
the prob of it occuring
mircea_popescu: i've been
trying
to write an article
the past half hour, so, i can use
the break
los_pantalones: whereas a price bet requires
time
to work
towards a goal
los_pantalones: quicker
than say something like "will
there be a gay player in baseball by august 10th"
los_pantalones: but
the basic premise is
that price bets are not a binary event,
they lose probability over
time
mircea_popescu: one of
the best cartoon characters of all
time. always naked from
the waist down, always funny pants reference names, a whole pants
thing
gribble: Error: User doesn't exist in
the Rating or GPG databases. User must be GPG-registered
to receive ratings.
dexX7: or maybe it's only because i'm
too used
to
the original
dexX7: it's
too flashy and colorful
dexX7: i don't like
the .lk design
mircea_popescu: dexX7 you may be
the last one using .org, people kinda moved
to .lk
dexX7: "The same bug also affected
the forum. Changing your forum password is recommended." on btctalk.. is
this msg new?
mircea_popescu: To get voice (ie,
to be able
to speak), first identify with gribble and
then send "!up"
to assbot in a private message. If you do not have a WoT account,
try politely asking one of
the voiced people for a
temporary pass.
mircea_popescu: maybe s/To get a voice, a permission
to speak/To get voice (ie,
to be able
to speak),
Namworld: Bounce, if someone
took it from
the hacker and spammed
the users
telling
them "We already have your docs, come
trade on a good BTC market! *LINK*"
fluffypony: but
the opportunity
to keep using
the
tools even with only 25% of
their capital
that was in gox
fluffypony: a lot of heavy
traders aren't going
to want
to reinvest fresh capital and
then still have
to pay for compatability with whatever platform
they use
fluffypony: also afaik, wasn't gox
tightly integrated into some
trading platforms?
Namworld: That's
the only
thing I can imagine someone going after,
the doxed userbase without having
to pay balances
bounce: depends a bit on what you could do with
that.
though apparently you could've grabbed
that yourself, seeing
the guys
that first promised not
to sell
the loot,
then offered
to sell it anyway.
Namworld: They could even relaunch anew with
their own name
Namworld: If
they don't have
to pay back balances lost, just what's left, and get
to have all
the userbase with docs...
Namworld: Depends on
the sort of capital
they have. Gox's name isn't what's doomed. It's
the code created by Karpeles and Karpeles himself.
bounce: could be a
TLAgency front.
then again, why go
through all
the
trouble? might as well set up one anew.
fluffypony: maybe
they
think
the gox name is salvageable
fluffypony: bounce: who knows what goes
through
their heads
bounce: then call it a day.
then what? a rotten website and
trading "engine", an unwilling user base (I mean... well,
they didn't walk away before, did
they?), and,
trouble with nosy 'merkin regulators. what'd be in it for
them?
fluffypony: I don't
think
they'd be stupid enough
to cover
the rest, unless
they never want
to ever achieve any level of profitability
Namworld: Assuming Karpeles doesn't get
to keep his 100k
that he "also lost"
fluffypony: and
then distribute
that proportionally
fluffypony: they'll probably
take
the BTC pool
that has been "discovered"
Namworld: So, basically,
they are insane?
