<benkay> i will bring ruination on all social everythings
<<hence my comment re partially implemented wots and their fundamental unsustainability.
benkay:
<mircea_popescu> not that it'd be so hard to repurpose a botnet for utterly destroying twitter. // now there's a notion
gribble: (bcauth
<nick>) -- Initiate authentication for user
<nick>. You must have registered with the bot with a bitcoin address for this to work. You will be given a random passphrase to sign with your address, and submit to the bot with the 'bcverify' command. Your passphrase will expire within 10 minutes.
benkay: "cost control on which
<our client>, the least technical stakeholder relied in extremis"
moiety: @disqualifications: Any dog that attempts to bite the judge.
<< lololololololol
moiety: "Once cesareans are no longer available....."
<< now thats intesreting
mircea_popescu:
<gabriel_laddel> mircea_popescu: Who do you have in mind for this list
<< to answer the q, actually it's pretty open. anyone anyone cares for.
mircea_popescu: "Suppose you have a company that sets out to make a widget. Let's call it Company A. Its founders are all engineers, of an uncompromising sort, and the widget they design and manufacture is of tremendous longevity, durability and overall quality."
<< hey check out orlov.
☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: "This, then, should be the new main thrust of industrial activity: to manufacture and distribute products with the understanding that this process will run out of resources and stop. These products must be designed to outlive the process by which they are made, by as long as possible."
<< i can't fucking imagine why this would have to appear as new.
danielpbarron: 13:40:25
<+asciilifeform> dice is iirc just about 6/8 of a byte per dice per throw
<< not quite. log2(6) is ~2.6 - bits, that is.
<< assuming it isn't biased
mircea_popescu: fluffypony: can't we have assbot ban people that do that for an hour?
<< this actually is a good idea. kakobrekla could assbot put a ban on anyone it sees part/joining 12 times within an hour, with a ban message that "please get in touch once connection is fixed, ty"
mircea_popescu: mike_c: i don't know. I guess I didn't feel like it fit the rest of his portfolio.
<< iirc he ended up with it as part of some other acquisition
mircea_popescu: assbot: ING: Future Bitcoin Protocol Should Include Central Bank Functions
<< yeah, it totally should. I'm fucking sick of having to bitchslap people like ing from the shadows.
mircea_popescu: benkay: assbot's an interesting focal point for the WoT
<< didja graph it ?
mircea_popescu: dub: hardly surprising now its full of spurious 'is on irc' entries
<< spurious on what grounds ?
mircea_popescu: benkay: ;;later tell mircea_popescu benkay eh what, you can tell. // this is to imply that actually discerning females on internet is hard?
<< yea.
mircea_popescu: decimation: and rolling dice would take days
<< dice is iirc just about 6/8 of a byte per dice per throw.
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves: it'd be cool to see namecoin get better play
<< yea
pankkake: nubbins`> i think that a car is too expensive, i would rather purchase a sandwich
<= it's much worse, it's like "I can't purchase a lamborghini, so I will buy a tricycle"
gribble: (later tell
<nick>

<text> the next time
<nick> is in seen.
<nick> can contain wildcard characters, and the first matching nick will be given the note.

<BingoBoingo> Eh, sometimes I have nightmares where truffles is still on BA and somehow IPO'd his hatred of reading. // interestingly, truffles is a female.
decimation: re: rolling dice to generate RSA keypair
<< this is not straightforward at all, and in general you are going to end up seeding some kind of RNG to produce your primes to test
gribble: truffles was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 13 weeks, 4 days, 6 hours, and 29 seconds ago:
<truffles> tell me when the experiment is over
BingoBoingo:
http://undeadly.org/cgi?action=article&sid=20140715120259 << "The question now was how to integrate it. OpenBSD developers don't like huge diffs for a very good reason. After fixing the inode format and adding new flags, Ted pointed out the ancient rule "whoever touched it last now becomes the maintainer" was valid even here."
mircea_popescu: copumpkin: I thought it was gonna be monday
<< so did i.
mircea_popescu: mike_c: i like the split and raised ones
<< i've never used one of the splitsd
mircea_popescu: Mats_cd03: SetThreadContext is non-deterministically broken from XP x64 SP0 to Server 2008 R1 x64 SP2
<<< ahahahaha

<Cosmos> I brought entertainment & then I faded down to a speck of nothing
benkay:
<Rassah> who won't be bothered to create a Tails linux distro on a USB, generate addresses on them using Bitaddress or something, printing to a USB connected priner, and wiping the printer // this is what one calls a "strawman" argument. as a person nominally involved in "public relations" you should never commit such derpitude in public.
benkay:
<asciilifeform> Rassah: I think
<< you are not the designer of this item ? // hee hee hee hee i'll just pop this corn
benkay:
<Rassah> so tech knowledge enough to be able to check how the software works, and maybe hardware knowledge to know what chips are being used in the schematic // well if its chips and an rng, asciilifeform's likely to tell you that unless you can inspect the chips (which you can't), you can't make claims about the RNG.
benkay:
<ThickAsThieves> not sure his profession // housewife
Rassah: asciilifeform: "He's wasting your time, that's obvious now."
<<- not official statement
Rassah: asciilifeform: You will be informed when our sources are released and you are invited to give his opiniion then
<<-- Apparently my official statement
mircea_popescu: bruteforcing Ends at > 50 bits for most algos. some primitive ones can be done up to 70 bits
<< wtf nonsense is this ?
BingoBoingo: Rassah: ... Otherwise I don't know what the difference in implementation is between PGP and BTC signing
<< Other big difference is PGP signing has a nice container for inline signatures attached to signed human readable text of arbitrary length
BingoBoingo: Rassah: Anyone ever wonder how the hell Brock, whom no one knew much about, got elected to the BF board, when the public either does't know him or hates his guts? To me that says connections of some sort...
<< 90's nostalgia
Rassah: state and we'd read 0 and refuse to generate a key. We will check if the amount of 0 > x% and
< y% (to check for deep-freeze temperatures) the Closer they are to 50% the better
BingoBoingo: Rassah: What I didn't know before is that Priuses have no transmissions, timing belts, or belts f any kind, and reqire practicaly no mainenance other than 10k mile oil changes and 100k brake pad and transaxle fluid changes. Everything else is electric... After $600+ expenses every 3 to 5 years on my Honda Civic, this is awesome. The 60mpg helps too
<< Transaxel is just a sideways transmission
gribble: bitcoinpete was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 3 hours, 16 minutes, and 52 seconds ago:
<bitcoinpete> Rassah: neat rating comment from theymos "Holds BTC for the forum."
Rassah: Huh. He's actually the reason I'm in here in the first place. I followed his blog here, after he tweeted that Mycelium Entropy
< dice, and agreed once I asked him if he would be interested in auditing out device.
ThickAsThieves:
<+Rassah> Anyone ever wonder how the hell Brock, whom no one knew much about, got elected to the BF board, when the public either does't know him or hates his guts? To me that says connections of some sort... /// but how to apply this logic to Ploshay?
pankkake: Scott Kveton is the CEO of Urban Airship, a mobile services platform provider in Portland, Oregon

<3nick szabo
<3 will do my best. bitstein has been chatting him up, maybe he can help with that one.
