cgcardona_: the first time I saw it I thought it was fake because it fit so well.
cgcardona_: not sure where they got the data honestly. need to research deeper.
mircea_popescu: cgcardona_ seems more like a fitted graph than anything. where did they get the n ?
kakobrekla: nah fuck the fbi, its her reaction.
ozbot: Jeff Dunham-Achmed The Dead Terroist - YouTube
TestingUnoDosTre: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aeYau6jH1eE this guy can make a living doing terrorist jokes, but when a little white girl does something retarded like sending a tweet claiming to be some foreigner the FBI gets involved
TestingUnoDosTre: ^isn't that a joke
gribble: mod6 was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 2 hours, 36 minutes, and 27 seconds ago: <mod6> Wonder if they would white-list me to a higher threshold for coins.
BingoBoingo: Update on the Emperor's Clothing racket http://oglaf.com/sextiles/
asciilifeform: from the freakshow:
mircea_popescu: artifexd we've had this thing going for ... 2 years now ?
kakobrekla: lemme grab two socks real quick.
kakobrekla: awww, ty. 13 to go.
gribble: Error: For identification purposes, you must be authenticated to use the rating system.
artifexd: Ah. WOT rating total. Current would be 137:123
kakobrekla: im not telling until the result of the equation is less than 1
artifexd: <mircea_popescu> kakobrekla 137 : 92 << What's that about?
mircea_popescu: no wait. the pitcoin pourse
cgcardona_: as in 'this room isn't a room where anyone can talk about shoes. it's a room where shoe makers can talk about anything.' ?
mircea_popescu: cgcardona_ but technically it's like... "i'm in the club", as in, "i am a barber"
mircea_popescu: tsk. get in the wot will you.
gribble: Error: User doesn't exist in the Rating or GPG databases. User must be GPG-registered to receive ratings.
mircea_popescu: eh what the hey.
cgcardona_: the way I view it here is (per trilema) this is a room for professionals. we tie our identity to our gpg keys so there's accountability. Granted I've only been in the room a week so what do I know?
JorgePasada: That reminds me, we should have a euro version of the ATM prototyped within 3 weeks
mircea_popescu: JorgePasada i guess now you gotta bug benkay to rate you
mircea_popescu: kinda the same here no ?
cgcardona_: usually its the "i'm kinda in the club" flag
cgcardona_: this is the only room i've been in where voice actually means something.
JorgePasada: Thanks for the voice
mircea_popescu: cgcardona_ not really. the relatively high pricing of the usd is based on (baseless) speculation of its future value.
mircea_popescu: Resolution: in 3 months 2 days. that's more like 6 periods actually.
cgcardona_: no connection to the price. all based on speculation of the future value of a coin right?
mircea_popescu: basically needs 23% each time. this ain't happening.
mircea_popescu: i was on the sent tab for some reason
asciilifeform: (don't bother writing to herr fravia re: stego or his famous cracking tutorials. he's dead.)
asciilifeform: (good intro to subject)
asciilifeform: or we shall be told that they do.
asciilifeform: then again, the folks who (see mp's essay) reinvented caesar's cipher might well use it.
asciilifeform: stego that doesn't 'scream stego' is a whole art.
mircea_popescu: incidentally : gpg armored lends itself splendidly to stego : the payload byte is only a few bits
asciilifeform: extract, test for known file headers
mircea_popescu: how would you test such a thing.
asciilifeform: but, if fact, the above would be a parsimonious explanation.
asciilifeform: can't say that i personally tested.
asciilifeform: anyone remember the '20% of all gifs contain stego' newsbit?
mircea_popescu: there was a secret special dept in teh fsb dedicated to exactly this.
mircea_popescu: that's for a long time been the lol of alltime.
asciilifeform: this is actually a very tame hypothesis. intel agencies traditionally plant dangles for their colleagues of other (not necessarily unfriendly) kingdoms. and, given the u.s. being a fractured empire, why not dangles for... their fellows.
asciilifeform: start-up where the entire office did nothing but play minigolf << that's the sv norm, no?
asciilifeform: not to plant evidence for any court, of course. for the consumption of... fellow 'intel' folks.
mircea_popescu: imagine a start-up where the entire office did nothing but play minigolf all day.
asciilifeform: it's the business of traditional goons, e.g. fbi. intel is 'classy.' rather create a sinner by injecting packets.
mircea_popescu: more importantly, any intelligent people remaining have a lot of trouble continuing to do anything worthwhile in such an environment.
mircea_popescu: i entirely fail to see how "combing upstate ny for hilbillies inept enough to imagine they can fire magic death upon random targets" is in any sense the business of intel.
asciilifeform: (and 'sawing apart' the public purse isn't the only such)
asciilifeform: the reason to bring this crapfest up - u.s. 'intelligence' apparatus has a number of purposes quite apart, and difficult to confuse for, intelligence.
asciilifeform: re: 'wreckers' - correct. since the entire raison d'etre of the u.s. security apparatus is now 'terrorism' - well, the fireman, absent a fire, buys a box of matches.
asciilifeform: if they sold faux 'stingers,' not even the dumbest 'candidate' would believe.
mircea_popescu: bounce this is an surface-to-air thing
mircea_popescu: aren't these a bitch to properly discharge, have to handle the tube as itlaunches ?
bounce: not the antitank thingy with the big head?
asciilifeform: yeah, ir sensor doesn't care who the tailpipe it flies into belongs to.
mircea_popescu: widely exported, and perhaps the #1 cause of friendly fire casualties in "unorganised" conflcits
bounce: this one then? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strela_2
mircea_popescu: not that analoguous
asciilifeform: analogous to american 'stinger'
mircea_popescu: wasn't it a 3 month training course to be cleared with those ?
asciilifeform: comes with tube.
asciilifeform: not the fat rocket. the thin one.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform are they also going to launch it from their asshole, like fireworks ?

mircea_popescu: bounce easier for you to fake being 20 than for bona fide 20yos to fake having a brain
mircea_popescu: uh why do they want a rocket ?
gribble: Strela (rocket) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strela_(rocket)>; Strela 2 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strela_2>; Russian Strela rocket launches Kondor satellite | NASASpaceFlight ...: <http://www.nasaspaceflight.com/2013/06/strela-rocket-launch-kondor-e/>
bounce: hm. maybe I should try and fake this 20something for a bit then.
asciilifeform: the 'a) wanna buy strela? b) fuck off c) really, dontcha? b) ok sure c) off to jail' thing has been going so long that it doesn't even make national news every time now. ☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎
mircea_popescu: all sorts of fake-shrewd 20yo morons however, humping the "first best largest" delusion humptrain
mircea_popescu: bounce not yet. whole shebang build to make him possible since at least 2012, yet he's not here yet.
bounce: the us "justice" system appears to be a, waht was it, chumpatron with press gangs
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform is there any proof whatsoever this charade included anything other/different from the soviet wrecker "confessions" ?
asciilifeform: and before that, a steady stream of morons who paid for (fake) 'sterela' units
asciilifeform: a gaggle of idiots was prodded, by american police, into paying to have a (physically wildly implausible) x-ray cannon 'built'
mircea_popescu: what the fuck is a radioactive death ray.
mod6: Wonder if they would white-list me to a higher threshold for coins.
mircea_popescu: "In 2013, two men from upstate New York were arrested after building a radioactive "death ray" device and plotting to use it against Muslims" ☟︎
mod6: ahh, im gonna write to them. my atc bot sends up http requests to get some json back so we can do things like: last_block, diff, etc. but from time to time, my host/ip seems to get tar-pitted. even for a low threshold.
asciilifeform: classic product of the bakery.

bounce: baking is terrism now?
mircea_popescu: mod6 iirc kakobrekla knew the people running it
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform think strategically. 1. "you didn't know we knew, did you ? fail" vs 2. "you didn't know we knew, did you ? OR that a website was all ready to go. just how fucking inept are you, can't find a website, srsly ?"
asciilifeform: create/modify arbitrary turds in mid-flight.
asciilifeform: it's to 'bake terrorists'
asciilifeform: the purpose of 'hearbleed' et al isn't traffic intercept. (why intercept when you have root on the 'cloud' crapfarms?)
mircea_popescu: he'd be much happier in the realm of shadow-holes.
mircea_popescu: the problem with the shadow fuhrer is that he couldn't conceivably find a reason to be bothered with actual holes.
asciilifeform: shadow führer decides that a certain pwnhole has outlived its useful life, decides to create a 'dangle' (i believe this is the english technical term for 'слив')
mircea_popescu: if you're going to humiliate, might as well humiliate in detail.
asciilifeform: nah, of the 'bug' being made public, with catchy name & logo.
