mircea_popescu: nubbins` it's worse
than
that.
the lolcats have
the power
to decide if your airbang opens
mircea_popescu: it was made sometime in 200x, never
to be
touched again
nubbins`: i don't want my airbag
to have
the power
to decide whether i'm allowed
to alter photographs :(
mircea_popescu: in
this case, i doubt
the people working at
the ro firm actually have access
to
the server
tho
ozbot: Spam and malware, let’s be cool
together. pe
Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
Mats_cd03: interesting idea,
there, about playing chicken with national security
ozbot: Are Aircraft Carriers
the New West Berlin?
nanotube: benkay:
the implication would be
that output would be sorted by volume? :)
kanzure: so at minimum
they have
to pretend
they have limits in order
to not reveal
that
their cold storage sytsem isn't cold
Mats_cd03: yc needs better security experts on
their staff
kanzure: well
they have rate limits on amount of bitcoin
they can send at a
time on coinbase because of how
they claim
their cold storage system works
Mats_cd03: the next
thing
that poster is going
to say in a week is,
the password reset form doesnt have a rate limit either and oops, a quarter of
the accounts have been looted cause an attacker bruteforced
the idiots
ThickAsThieves: probly multi-part
teams, with one guy assigned
to high-value
targets
mircea_popescu: kanzure i was just writing about one as
ThickAsThieves posted
that link
Mats_cd03: attacking a form without a rate limit... how has coinbase gone
this long with
this problem?
mircea_popescu: i
think
there must exist somewhere people doing email spiderin by hgand
kanzure: oh have you gotten phishing emails
targeted
to you?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform amusingly, i had accounts on neither, but
that doesn't prevent people from
trying
to phish and etc
kanzure: asciilifeform:
that's worth at least something..
kanzure: mircea_popescu: because
they have
trouble discriminating between good bitcoin ideas and poor bitcoin ideas ("hand over bitcoins
to a
third-party")
kanzure: mircea_popescu: i mean
they are a
target for phishing if
they also signed up for coinbase
mircea_popescu: kanzure how exactly did you form
this opinion on coinbase ?
kanzure: and if
they signed up
to coinbase, it's doubly so
kanzure: basically everyone in
that 2011 mtgox dump is
target for phishing
mircea_popescu: "you claim
to be a human being, but you are actually subhuman, because look :"
kanzure: being phished for
the rest of eternity
kanzure: i dunno about
that.
that's more
thought
than i'm willing
to put into it.
mircea_popescu: they must be displayed for
the general public, so
the general public may learn
that idiocy has consequences.
mircea_popescu: but it's not ok
to let
them suffer in silence and privacy.,
kanzure: remember,
they intentionally signed up
to coinbase
kanzure: it wont hurt
them any more
than
they've already hurt
themselves
mircea_popescu: it'd hurt
the idiots, but
their pain and suffering is required
to build greatness.
kanzure: i'm sure it's going
to be
the same users
mircea_popescu: a generally available index of "idiots involved in Bitcoin" is a good
thing.
kanzure: someone should run one of
the mtgox email address dumps
through
that coinbase api endpoint
novusordo: surely
that means all NEW cars, right?
ThickAsThieves: When will eyes be required on
the back of my head
to walk?
ThickAsThieves: "New regulation requires all cars
to have rear-view cameras by 2018"
novusordo: oh,
that's what you meant by "buy it from kako" i assume
novusordo: i'm having a hard
time understanding what 'username' and 'pass' I'm supposed
to supply
the mpex socket with...
ThickAsThieves: "Cuomo Gives
Tesla (TSLA) A New York Direct-Sell Pass"
mircea_popescu: excellent opportunity for coinbase
to display some pr.
ThickAsThieves: "Within 30 minutes, I was able
to gather 400 unique email addresses, distinctively associated with Bitcoins"
mircea_popescu: on pravda
today : "Does socialism increase
the welfare of
the worker ?"
jurov: amazing no one collected
them before
jurov: novusordo, because live.coinbr started in october 2013. afaik socked uses
there data,
too
mircea_popescu: probably more adequate for high volume processing
too.
novusordo: oh,
the socket seems
to have what i'm looking for
novusordo: i'm looking for historical data
that I can crunch
novusordo: ThickAsThieves: it seems
to stop for most assets in october of 2013 for me... not sure why
mircea_popescu: also
this chan, and iirc kakobrekla was selling
the whole history db
novusordo: are
there any good historical sources of mpex data besides @MPEX1 on
twitter? i'm not finding much for historical volume
mircea_popescu: if elvis were alive
today, his name'd be fiona and he'd be doing my laundry.
novusordo: [KS]: i've seen
that, I have my own script I wrote before
that came around
that sends me a
text message when he posts
mircea_popescu: “Switch just
two people—
the battalion commander and command sergeant major—from
the best battalion with
those of
the worst, and within ninety days
the relative effectiveness of
the battalions will have switched as well,” I’d say. I still believe I was correct.
mircea_popescu: "Software makers led by Microsoft Corp. (MSFT:US) say overly strict limits would reduce incentives
to develop cutting-edge programs
that detect when a car airbag should deploy or let people alter photographs."
mircea_popescu: i don't recall
the last
time someone gathered
the guts
to
try and play a
trick on me,
ThickAsThieves: trolling itself is something ive never quite been able
to fully digest
mircea_popescu: both of
these being fairly uncontroversial and apparently
the entire bag of
tricks of us conservative pundits
jurov: that's lulzy, martin/forensick uses bitcoin burza avatar
too
ThickAsThieves: whatever gets
the pickup-driving racists
to feel good (and buy gold), he says
mircea_popescu: does he say anything specific other
than obama is bad and
the country is going
to shit ?
ThickAsThieves: when i read
the forums i cant help but
think some % is accepting
these people as reality
ThickAsThieves: yeah
the liberals listen
to gawk,
the idiots listen
to fistpump
mircea_popescu: " Limbaugh is among
the highest paid people in U.S. media, signing a contract in 2008 for $400 million
through 2016.["
ThickAsThieves: it's just embarassing i
the
thougth of people
taking it seriously compounds
that
