mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yeah, but my fear is, how much can be trusted in the "data" of someone so fundamentally confused. can one who can'
t count keep a useful count of anything ?
mircea_popescu: 14:16:06 mats_cd03: kakobrekla: links on log1.b-a direct to log.b-a, which is down << umm no they don'
t ?
TomServo: mircea_popescu: can'
t say I recall that exact scenario - but I see your point. Better not be another 950 years of this BS though!
bounce: apparently there wasn'
t a people person around who could find and organise the people to cook up bitcoin; needed a lone engineer to lay the ground work.
mircea_popescu: five fucking years and a horde of jackals, all because there isn'
t nor apparently can there be a god out there to whom you pray and who gives orders adequately.
mod6: i think it did say that at one point. i don'
t have my previous revisions handy atm.
TomServo: asciilifeform: This is only for wireless clients correct? Though, why wouldn'
t they also do the same to wired customers?
Naphex: "Pope Francis declares evolution and Big Bang theory are right and God isn'
t 'a magician with a magic wand'"
jurov: but it goes against means of "offline" delivery where you aren'
t certain stuff went through
bounce: sure. but the question remains, why have a booster at all? can'
t you run the thing off 5V directly?
ben_vulpes: although i have a hard time imaginging which customers of a bezzletron service would touch btc. buying a loss for the taxbooks doesn'
t make much sense with the blackcash.
ben_vulpes: <asciilifeform> ben_vulpes: if bluematt (who was he?) doesn'
t appear - one of us must do the deed ? << i have jenkins running with the blob locally, i'd just rather stand on bluematt's shoulders
Naphex: so if you're running openssl it shouldn'
t go down below 200 bytes of available entropy
adlai: "dumb"? doesn'
t this just mean you can treat it as providing less entropy than the number of bits it spits out?
RagnarDanneskjol: ''Our generator makes random streams of bytes - they're generated by random quantum processes and/or thermal noise - they're don'
t however present a perfectly randomly distributed bit stream''
punkman: so quartz tube doesn'
t burn?
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: listen, if smart people don'
t fuck whores, the poor girls are left with a very poor impression of maledom << was reminded of this as i watched the sopranos today.
mircea_popescu: punkman see your pms, apparently ppl can'
t go from deeds to privkey ?
mircea_popescu: "what do you mean the world didn'
t start a day before i was born ?!?!!?!?!?!"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform they didn'
t start as one. but anyway, either their cash runs out in a few months or it does not.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo i don'
t suspect the guy actually acts rationally.
mircea_popescu: as stupid as possible, granted. once that is granted, nothing else can further be achieved. he can'
t be anything "as much as possible" hence.
hanbot: i don'
t mind idiots experimenting on themselves, but the access to podium has gotta go.
thestringpuller: Jesus these idiots who don'
t know how to feed themselves are starting to just baffle me.
ben_vulpes: the thing isn'
t actually all that impossible to reason about
decimation: ben_vulpes: is the latest patch still yours? I haven'
t seen mention of others
decimation: here's 32 control characters that you can'
t use.
mircea_popescu: BUT at least back when they were making django they weren'
t making systemd
mircea_popescu: because if i were to use it, and you did get my pw... you still couldn'
t steal my monyz ?
nubbins`: well i guess you just can'
t trust random web pages to generate your brainwallets ;D
mircea_popescu: TheNewDeal it's the dump of js as loaded on my system, because somehow it doesn'
t come to the same results as other people here.
mircea_popescu: i guess it helps that i just wasn'
t using braindamage.org anyway
mircea_popescu: it can'
t be the case it can hash here but not there, my cpu
nubbins`: doing an additional base58 doesn'
t produce BXZKQx2iLYyRpUCmdWCqJBvgUdvqWH4EE8TV1ns3pxLZ
nubbins`: but i don'
t know how to get from the second shasum to that
nubbins`: okay, i just wasn'
t stripping newline from eof
thestringpuller: Didn'
t a shipping container with 100 billion or so get lost in Iraq in the early 2000's as well?
thestringpuller: mod6: i actually had a leagal drink for the billinium <<< i was just growing pubes. now I don'
t feel quite so old.
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: "there's no point getting in the wot, i have real world friends" << WoT isn'
t Facebook...*sigh*
mircea_popescu: i don'
t see how a case can be different from any other in a system where "one can make any declaration"
nubbins`: er yeah, i don'
t get the same shasum as you at all
mircea_popescu: "don'
t work" is the best error message, after... anything else.
nubbins`: mircea_popescu yeah and there's something more to it than that, because instructions as given don'
t work
nubbins`: TheNewDeal i'm just trying to verify one of these things but it's hard if i don'
t know the process
decimation: yeah most pendulum clocks didn'
t do well in a swaying ship
mircea_popescu: people can reconstruct tits and virginity. you telling me they can'
t remake a board edge ?
assbot: Logged on 12-09-2014 19:19:30; asciilifeform: except - they aren'
t banning monsanto garbage. they're banning 'gmo.'
mircea_popescu: mats_cd03 as in, didn'
t understand taleb's point ? or as in what ?
mircea_popescu: cazalla: question if anyone can help - is there a genuine security reason for someone to refuse to disclose how they generate entropy for the private keys contained in their physical bitcoin coin products? << not really, no. other than "we don'
t have a clue how it's done but this is sekoority and so being mysterious is the next best thing"
mircea_popescu: apple it's what yahoo has aspired at all these years. if they had any sense, they wouldn'
t have hired melissa no clue, they'd have hired jobs back then
mircea_popescu: don'
t forget that. apple isn'
t a tech company, it's a media company.
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> who in his right mind would consider 'apple', for instance, if microshit did not exist << i don'
t run a windows machine. for me ms might as well not exist. however, i did get apple powered tablet to check out their game marketplace.
undata: because people are followers and it wasn'
t an informed decision
Adlai: we got stuck on how to implement a MOP for sheeple, and it hasn'
t seen enough use for people to miss it... but it's a rather faithful translation of MOPless CLOS
bounce: quite sure that if there wasn'
t OOP they'd've thought of something else to write crap code in
bounce doesn'
t mind OOP. there's some good ideas in there, even if most practitioners didn'
t get it.
nubbins`: <asciilifeform> he can swear to his gods that he didn'
t make copies, but what kind of proof could possibly suffice as proof to a skeptic ? <<< probably no more than a few days of torture
Adlai didn'
t know, but isn'
t surprised
Adlai: if there were only one gender, "gender" the concept wouldn'
t exist
bounce: no, it wouldn'
t. wouldn'
t be women either.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform eh i don'
t even agree. fuck all this subtlety of amuk idiocy. a character, its encoding, the representation thereof and its numeric value are all THE SAME THING. forever.
mircea_popescu: dude omg. not like he didn'
t say and get quoted x times.
decimation: you are stuck with 8 bits if you don'
t want to constantly guess at endianness
jurov: That's just basic classical economics. Scammers don'
t last long in the Bitcoin ecosystem.
