Framedragger: poor guy. universal turing machine so awesome, life sucked balls
Framedragger: alan turing basically invented the concept of modern computer and computation
Framedragger: kk, i'm just randomly browsing through, have work to do, but bookmarking your page
Framedragger: (the word 'ontological' has certain connotations for me.)
Framedragger: "My research is centered around the development of a formalism for ontological commitments." - wait, ontological commitments as in analytic philosophy, or something something formal logic?
Framedragger: is it a published / open source project / is there a repo?
Framedragger: i've seen some ruby code that attempts to do those kinds of things i think. but if you ended up implementing a parser for such a thing, then truly awesome!
Framedragger: i can only imagine. was it interpreted or actually compiled? writing compilers is a whole new level of brainfuck
Framedragger: well i'm veeery slowly getting into haskell. i'm all up for "fuck practical things, let's do category theory in programming!!11!"
Framedragger: yeah python really gets the job done for many domains. e.g. it's real good for scientific computing (numpy, plotting, speed support from C implementations of the stuff that matters etc)
Framedragger: i'm one of those who wishes to have had a lisp background.. now i'm only trying to slowly learn on my own :)
Framedragger: i like certain metaprogramming aspects of ruby. ruby succeeds in being a more true 'wanna be lispian' kid as opposed to python
Framedragger: (it's python. python can find its own system path of course etc. still... arrrgh)
Framedragger: they don't, and there's a way around it, but i was simply testing out a library
Framedragger: yeah could have been worse for sure :) still.. outcome much less epic than expected :(
Framedragger: just spent >= 4 hours tracking a bug in an open source library (though, oh yeah i'll shine) only to learn that i should use absolute paths when invoking it. #storyofmylife
Framedragger: asciilifeform: i'm genuinely glad to hear it is still on-going, godspeed mate. :)
Framedragger: k, thanks. yeah, as i take it, it's currently well-regarded in underground / security circles (afaik)
Framedragger: Troic_, which ones? i'm probably in the dark, would be interested to hear (links?)
Framedragger: (indeed - i keep my truecrypt volume file in dropbox and consider it a sane and safe choice. i keep ultraimportant backups on that truecrypt volume.)
Framedragger: (for those who manually auth each time - there are scripts to automate gribble auth fyi!)
Framedragger: "But outside these run-down flats, the streets are full of expensive, fast cars that are a marked contrast to their surroundings. [same in many countries, saw that in sarajevo, etc] The hackers like to show off their wealth and power with these high-powered vehicles, which they race through the streets at night. [this does not follow from the prev sentence"
Framedragger: lol, did you read the article you linked to mate, it doesn't really say anything apart from mentioning the keywords that matched your google query
Framedragger: i can also buy a cop in my hometown, though not sure of price :P
Framedragger: to actual studies operationalizing such terms as (lol) 'fraud capital' :)
Framedragger: kinda need citations to support these claims, only because ISPs do not prosecute scriptkiddies there does not mean much
Framedragger: if you're going to run bitcoind on a $30 Kimsufi rented server with root password reset capabilities in your 'customer control panel', you're gonna have a hard time
Framedragger: at the very least, that way you at least may attempt to evaluate your risks, possible attack vectors etc. not with cloud hosting / whatever - parts of the hosting infrastructure remain hidden from the client (or their implementations). which generally sucks when somebody discovers that times have changed and some of those hosted machines are now storing highly valuable assets
Framedragger: benkay: sure, unless you / or your hire really know(s) what you/they're doing. running bitcoind under multiple layers of virtualization/isolation (e.g. bsd jails + virtualbox + chroot) is a start
Framedragger: ovh is typically not really good with client communication (personal limited experience)
Framedragger: coolcool, actually looks interesting / i get the idea
Framedragger: "The amount you risk should be twice the amount you're trading in order to keep the deal in Nash equilibrium."
Framedragger: they hired folks to harden security / rewrite things
Framedragger: i only recall one (really) major security breach, pwd / pwd hashes stolen etc. it was a long time ago, probably in its LAMP infancy days
Framedragger: yeah, i'm quite sure that at least it used to be apache + mysql + php, probably with default configs on a default ubuntu or sth. :)
Framedragger: but yeah, the agorist sentiments are at a relatively naive level if i may say so. but hey.. :)
Framedragger: the internals seemed like a default LAMP stack to me. but afaik this has changed. well if they're a kid, they are surely learning to scale their infrastructure/business etc. :)
Framedragger: well, SR used to run a mysqld with debugging mode enabled, so each time there was a DB error (and there were quite a few), users would get a specimen of the system's internals.
Framedragger: and i'm trying to trade goods over coin, it hurts the brain
