asciilifeform: davout: 1) his gizmo is in 'go', a google-proprietary turdlang 2) he's using its built-in crypto routines 3) if you don't like this, have fun waiting 300-500msec/packet using the shell-callout

jurov: Most entropy sources don't produce "good" random numbers. The source may, for example, produce ones only 25% of the time. This doesn't negate the value of the source. However, the "obvious" non-randomness must be eliminated; that is the task of the conditioner.
asciilifeform: i wish i knew why folks still think rng is high science. it isn't.

BingoBoingo: Well according to the NCAA written rules, they aren't alowed to. According to the unwritten rules of the actual government of the sport they totally are allowed to give away and sell it.
mircea_popescu: nah, it didn't happen.
mircea_popescu: "And for three years it worked. But on Thursday the Swiss suddenly gave up. We don’t know exactly why; nobody I know believes the official explanation, that it’s a response to a weakening euro. " << ha-ha. everyone you DON'T know knows the explanation. it was published on fucking trilema for crissakes, not even as a news item.
mircea_popescu: (when what looks like a term of art has basically two apparently divorced meanings via google, it's suspicious if they don't seem mutually aware)
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo " So far it hasn't been enforced due to its extreme vagary, but in the unstable environment of applied United States law. Not with the sudden resurgence of threats to invoke the All Writs Act reentering the public discourse in late 2014."
jurov: pity the monero memory problem isn't resolved yet (keeps blockchain in memory, needs 30G)
mircea_popescu: there must be some shop left somewhere that still does it. they make chain mail by hand and whatnot, i can't imagine shoemakers all died out.
mircea_popescu: now if in question were shoes... or rifles... but they aren't, are they.
mircea_popescu: it's what computer geek means, these days. "shy, socially awkward teenager that doesn't know how to use computers, in spite of spending a lot of time with them"

assbot: The trial is going in the favor of defense and they are panicking so we can't give them a reason to anonymize the jury. No signs. No signs.
xiando: that bitcoin in commieland is starting to look like a wedge don't it http://btccharts.everdot.org/2015-01-16/wedgey.jpg oh well

mircea_popescu: generally the paper revolutionaries looking for a little "investment" tend to make it clear they don't actually wish to rock the boat.
decimation: that doesn't mean that hardware isn't interested in him!
mircea_popescu: that's a good fucking question lmao. sks fired from the hip by teenage boys in rural texas ? no wonder people can't land fucking rockets.
undata: heh I don't know, there could be interesting ideas in there; I haven't looked
undata: asciilifeform: seemed it was some kind of functional environment, but I can't read it
decimation: asciilifeform: moldbug hasn't make something 'useful' of urbit yet?
ben_vulpes: decimation: i don't think it's "leaking" so much as it's not a traditional "closed" hydraulic system.
decimation: actually if the rocket lands 'face up', won't the fins be facing the 'wrong way'?
decimation: so this is a tacit admission that they can't hire anymore?
assbot: By the way, here's my 2013 interview with Silk Road's DPR that the DHS told a judge "sounds very much like Karpeles" http://t.co/ZFOtAXLbXL
thestringpuller: can't seem to get enough of that
assbot: "Some people think I'm nice & are shocked when they find out different. I'm not a nice person, & I don't care about you." --Linus /hashtag/lca2015?src=hash
thestringpuller: but don't you want more adoption?!?
mircea_popescu: im not disenfranchising them. i merely don't value their arbitrary enfranchisement more than i value a paper fixing new orbits for the solar system.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i don't know anyone is actually using their protocols for serious work anymore than anyone'd be using the foundation crapolade for any serious work.
mircea_popescu: gavin isn't quitting the scam foundation either, and obviously the msm would present it as "influential". what's it influence, reddit ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i don't get it, in what sense is CFRG/ietf influential ?
mircea_popescu: davout this because clearly the fork won't fail, but contrairiwise
ben_vulpes: i ain't sexist

mthreat: oh.. no I hadn't
mircea_popescu: one shouldn't even try, but hey.
mircea_popescu: one can't maintain arbitrary caps like that.
mircea_popescu: yeah but we dunno what it needs or what's going on, and so can't help.
mircea_popescu: but if that doesn't woirk i guess it'll have to be replaced.
mircea_popescu: lolwut ?! finney was dead wasn't he ?!
gabriel_laddel: well yes, but you're response doesn't clarify.
davout: wasn't kakobrekla working on sthg?
BingoBoingo: I didn't say that.
mircea_popescu: t would prove the most ingenious and infallible agency for defeating justice that human wisdom could contrive. For how could he imagine that we simpletons would go on using his jury plan after circumstances had stripped it of its usefulness, any more than he could imagine that we would go on using his candle-clock after we had invented chronometers? In his day news could not travel fast, and hence he could easily find

danielpbarron: customers don't necessarily make good share holders
nOgAnOo: But I don't trust the Bitcoin Foundation at all..
nOgAnOo: 20MB block size.. I don't understand it yet..

mircea_popescu: wasn't feeling all that well for years, but...
mircea_popescu: you can't sleep on it yo!
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller weren't you due some qntra material ?
asciilifeform: though there is an elaborate dance where folks implement xxxx and then pretend it wasn't using leaked/nda docs
mircea_popescu: yes, you can turn down commits that change he to her. if women get upset, that's because the women in question are stupid and they don't belong in tech ; yes you can use proprietary code. if anyone doesn't like it, anyone can suck a free bag of dicks ;
asciilifeform: and it doesn't happen on a pc.
asciilifeform: hactive.googlecode.com/files/CN50XX-HRM-V0.99E.pdf << leaked data sheet for the soc in gadget mentioned earlier. you can't actually get this from the vendor.

BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: so i don't get that nascar drama. ex-trophy blondie applies for no contact order against her ex. ex swears she's an assassin out to get him. << Basically except... the assasin part seems... credible...
thestringpuller: didn't know they had christopher nolan movies in australia jkjk
thestringpuller: too bad it isn't feasible for me to pilgrimage for bitcoins :P
