fluffypony: although culturally
that view developed independently of
the other
mircea_popescu: just a huge workload for very little pay
that prevents a fork.
mircea_popescu: so not exactly a race
thing as much as a gender
thing ?
joecool: hmm, doesn't openssl also have weird licensing
that would prevent a fork?
fluffypony: but
traditionally speaking women are not viewed as equals, so
the men can just do whatever
they want
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: yeah, you can't minimise it, but it's a problem in
the
townships and villages and not so much in
the suburbs
mircea_popescu: " IRC may not seem very asynchronous, but it is" << actually, it's ... multisyncronous. pretty much
the only mental space
that readily comprehends irc flow is
the sort
that spent a lot of
time doing debugger stepping.
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: Plettenberg Bay, along
the Garden Route
BingoBoingo: Since no reason
to use yahoo for anything of import at all
BingoBoingo: Oh, yahoo is password weak because heartbleed. Figured I'd offer something on Yahoo for people
to sign up for
mircea_popescu: "I
the spirit of #heartbleed is anyone else interested in -assets fantasy baseball on yahoo?"
BingoBoingo: I
the spirit of #heartbleed is anyone else interested in -assets fantasy baseball on yahoo?
BingoBoingo: ;;later
tell
truffles Let us
try
this fantasy baseball
thing head
to head
BingoBoingo: "Besides, if Silicon Valley can proselytize about cloud country and dividing California into six pieces, why can't
their political enemies engage in similar flights of fancy about
the world as it currently exists? " <<
They can't
BingoBoingo: Purity
though
Transnidstria is nao b est Soviet
mircea_popescu: i would say
the same
thing explains
the longevbity of
the
thing as explains
the longevity of soviet satellites :
they're still in orbit.
BingoBoingo: Explains
the longevity of
the Bitcoin Foundation,
though
the low rate of activity
there is
telling
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: It is just amazing how much justification goes on
to deny
the self is being swindled
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo lol. i hope
they make a name for it and put it in wikipedia. something like a DAB, or something.
BingoBoingo: dexX7: Basically if your were stupid enough
to err
this way, you were
to stupid
to concieve of
this way
to err
mircea_popescu: this is an implant not an error. at what level in
the process
the implanting starts and cluelessness
takes over is still unclear.
dexX7: hehe.. no i mean.. people make errors,
that's for sure, but sometimes one would say "you'd need
to be very, very stupid, do
to an error of
this kind and it's likely no one sane would ever do something like
this". and i'm wondering, if
this is
the case here
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Well, of course
the possibility exists
that
the sun stops
totally for a measurable period of
time, but...
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo funny factoid :
the sun fusion is not unlike mining. it could in principle be
the case a finite interval goes without any emission.
BingoBoingo: How often does
the sun just stop fusion for a few minutes
to catch a breath
mircea_popescu: how likely is it
that you're really my wife and are currently pregnant with
twin bald eagles ?
dexX7: or rephrased: was it placed
there
to be exploited by some party?
BingoBoingo: dexX7:
This allows extracting privates, so it allows Decrypting
mircea_popescu: it's larger
than
the cookie monster, and
that
thing had
the advantage of
there only being about 50 computers
total.
dexX7: hm right.
to encrypt something, you'd need
the key,
therefore it's somewhere
mircea_popescu: anyway, if you're looking for more of a perspective
thing :
this is without a doubt
the largest vulnerability ever reported in
the history of vulnerabilities.
BingoBoingo: Or just running a high
traffic router and scooping up ciphertext
dexX7: but
the server's private key is usually not exchanged, i
think?
dexX7: so
this would be great for phishing for example?
BingoBoingo: Pretty much
this is
the worst of all cases
that
the mainstream security community would have supposed
mircea_popescu: if you get
the server's keys you can a)impersonate
the server and b) decrypt all its
traffic,
thaty you previously stored.
dexX7: hey i'm still
thinking about
the heartbleed stuff and was wondering: how could one - in
theory - do something nefarious with
this? user sessions aside, but what else is flying around
there?
BingoBoingo: Fossil fuels make my Saturn go and don't give me any
trouble.
Diablo-D3: BingoBoingo:
thats like asking if I've made peace with fossil fuels
Diablo-D3: BingoBoingo:
truffles runs a large company and writes foss in his spare
time?
BingoBoingo: keonne:
Truffles is basically Diablo-D3 but somehow less crazy and slow
fluffypony: keonne: Coffee is awesome, I refuse
to believe it has any negative affect on my health :-P
keonne: kman - hah my dad calls me
that
keonne: sand. kofte, cigarettes, and coffee, somewhere
truffles is dying inside do
to my lack of healthly activities
fluffypony: Otherwise it's just asking for
trouble
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: Btc jam had
the option, I figured it wasn't unheard of for loans with a
term of more
than like 2 weeks
mircea_popescu: i did notice it. i discarded it,
too, cause who
the hell is giving you a fiat loan.
fluffypony: keonne: Meh, it was a year ago, and I can understand mircea_popescu not noticing
the USD linked loan
keonne: fluffypony: props
to not being a butthurt bitch in
the comments
fluffypony: Yeah it was an excellent lesson in
the dynamics of bitcoin and of
the community
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: What was his collateral
though? And did eh link it
to
the usd price?
mircea_popescu: he got really buttreamed, but he did pay off afaik, and one of
the few
to do so.
mircea_popescu: you know
there's a guy who
tried
this in 2012 for similar reasons ?
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: ok but as mentioned in
the original post,
the issue was not solvency or collateral - it was a brief experiment
to see if I could get a secured loan at a better rate
than I could locally
BingoBoingo: fluffypony: I
think
that picture popularized
that acronym
BingoBoingo: However
the Hoover lives on in US 3 letter culture in
that alcohol is more poisonous
to many of
those factions
than coke (which
the CIA loves for obvious reasons)
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: I showed my wife
that blog post
BingoBoingo: I
the US
the Hooverites paited him as
the devil, worse
than Castro, but he gave Russia its booze back.
mircea_popescu: i dun know brejnev was all
that bad, economically at least.
BingoBoingo: Essentially J E Hoover was more damaging
to
the US
than Brezhnev could have ever been
to
the Soviet republics
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo: Litecoin miners want all asics
to die.
The want
to only mine when not playing starcraft and mining wow gold.
mircea_popescu: ;;later
tell bitcoinpete and so
they want
to just keep changing
the algos and dream on.
BingoBoingo: This
transition in
the US really was a big
thing between Pershing and Lyndon Johnson
mircea_popescu: ;;later
tell bitcoinpete it's even been announced, some fork. basically
they want
to fork it because htey perceive
they should be given more of
this world
than
the ycan
take by
themselves, for
themselves, and
they perceive it's unfair
that just as soon as an algo of division is established, better people get more
than
them.
mircea_popescu: bitcoinpete: and how is doge still even around? first
teh nascar, now
this merged-mining noise << it's only "still around" in
the sense of noise. like you know,
the dead aren't really dead if you remember
them :D
BingoBoingo: The Robert Hansen puritain
to a fault
type
though at
the higher levels of government security organizations is not
that rare in
the US
though.
BingoBoingo: I've only met one person who worked at DISA
though and
they were shipped
to London after racking up more DUIs int he states
than Mr Bond himself.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: In
the US in any niche
there is always a puritain contingent of some pretending
to bees. Generally
the higher in any gov niche
the more
they dominate.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo it was obviously a jab at a roomfull of potheads
telling
the sober guy
that "he doesn't understand how
the pretty colors work"
BingoBoingo: No matter who or what slaps it on
the ass
the world can just persist in being.
BingoBoingo: My hypothesis on why Putin can't understant how
the world works
though is
that
the world just doesn't work because it has no benefit from doing so.
mircea_popescu: this sounds like
the fucking pleistocene all oer again.
BingoBoingo: For small sample sizes I can gather, in
the US
the actual drug free figures are small
mircea_popescu: incidentally, i wonder what % of
the us agency agents are actually drug free. not pretend-free, not pass
the
test free, but actually, as a lifestyle.
