herbijudlestoids: when i say NSA i dont mean NSA so much as any sigint
that has permissions for global ops
mircea_popescu: besides,
the nsa is dead.
the us is scrambling
to create a new, actually secret replacement, while pretending nsa is still a
thing.
mircea_popescu: and so... no.
they don't have
the resources
to anytihng.
mircea_popescu: and
the worst morale in
the history of secret servicing.
Vexual: yeah snowden
tok it with him
herbijudlestoids: somehow i feel like
the NSA is probably quite competent enough considering
the resources at
their disposal ;)
herbijudlestoids: the way i see it workin gis something like
this: FBI discovers new online drug marketplace, probably
tipped off from dutch intelligence or similar agency who actually has
the knowhow.
they poke it, cant de-anon it, and so
they call up
the NSA
to
take a poke. initial pokes are unsuccessful so
they go all out against it.
mircea_popescu: it'd be like bitcoin relying not on chain but on people being nice
to each other.
mircea_popescu: if you can't do
that, you've got little business doing it in
the first place.
mircea_popescu: the idea is
to implement
technically sound solutions.
this means god himself can not de-anon your server.
mircea_popescu: 2. most jurisdictions couldn't give less of a shit about
the us and its problems.
mircea_popescu: 1. nsa is nowhere near as competent as
they'd like you believe
herbijudlestoids: in fact being in
the US is pretty much
the only legal defense against NSA spying lol
herbijudlestoids: youll be going up against a very scary adversary who will hand your details over
to
the FBI or local equivalent as soon as
they de-anon your server
herbijudlestoids: my main concern is if you setup a legit, correctly secured darknet site, its just going
to make you an even bigger
target for
the NSA really
herbijudlestoids: iv got "So
this urbit
thing" and "People have made blogs" saved in my list, as well as "The stuff all good conspiracy
theories start with" because i wanna see
the photo of MPOE-PR :P
herbijudlestoids: mircea_popescu: which link? i happen
to be retarded and often forget
things
that i dont immediately note down
mircea_popescu: but yes. freedom = no barrier
to entry = chaos. nttawwt.
mircea_popescu: herbijudlestoids you know
that's
the exact link i gave you earlier in
the logs :D
Vexual: if i wanted
to use doog drugs id move
to addis abar and have excellent herbal amphetamines
Apocalyptic: herbijudlestoids,
that's
the state of
the average marketplace out
there
Vexual: little bit mafia
there with
the
trascription
jurov: and
the pass was nbusr123
jurov: guess what was
the office named
jurov: it's not just
twentysomethings.
the password for national office
that gives security clearances
mircea_popescu: they just
take
their chances.
they survive by schooling.
mircea_popescu: you know, no ammount of salmon being eaten by bears makes
the salmon wear fucking german ww1 helmets.
Apocalyptic: <herbijudlestoids> i still really cant believe
the security behind silk road was so fucken poor //
then you won't believe
this
herbijudlestoids: yep, well you can bet
the big vendors on
those sites are now doing
their "security due diligence" before
they list products on a given market
mircea_popescu: exactly
these
types of presumtpions.
they're like some mutant cockroaches which have somehow adapted
to live in
the cracks of
this presumption.
mircea_popescu: herbijudlestoids you know,
this entire generation of
twentyspomething fuckups strictly exists because we keep presuming.
herbijudlestoids: mircea_popescu: i just kind of assumed
that anyone who wanted
to setup a website like
that might be
the kind of person who knows even
the first
thing about security
Vexual: the real dpr is in
tokyo stinking of ylang ylang
herbijudlestoids: i still really cant believe
the security behind silk road was so fucken poor
herbijudlestoids: at least judging from
that article, it sounds like
th eguys who set it up have
tried
their hardest
to learn from
the failures of
the other morons
Apocalyptic: not
that I recall of, let me grep
the logs
Apocalyptic: more drama on
that on #bitcoin-hidden everyday
Apocalyptic: it appears
that almost every new marketplace is prone
to basic SQL injections
herbijudlestoids: mircea_popescu: i did, after reading about how silk road went down
they wer eall so fucking stupid
Vexual: wait if bitwasp gets finished,
that'll be like altcoin pools of drug markets
mircea_popescu: speaking of php.
the stuff had me in a state of ptss for a few hours
mircea_popescu: herbijudlestoids did you see all
the failed darknet drug marketplaces btw ?
Vexual: but i should pay for it more
than mp should
Vexual: i was hoping it would be free
then returned in kind
mircea_popescu: also, benkay baby, more naked girl / dressed pitbull pics. you've lernered nothing off
trilema ?
mircea_popescu: Vexual at
the rate benkay is posting on
that cascade of his,
the cheatsheet will need a flatbed
truck.
herbijudlestoids: yo, so based on
the bitcointalk forum, which is i assume populated by heavily qualified financial analysts, wasnt
the price of MPOE supposed
to be "negative"
this morning?
mircea_popescu: one of
the
things i enjoy most about bitcoin is all
the shit people don't know. ot
jurov: have you seen live.coinbr.com ? it's
timeless :DDDD
herbijudlestoids: mircea_popescu: nothing, its just kind of what i would like
to do :P
Duffer1: ya
there's a reason why mpoe-pr recommends
taking a year off
to read first :P
Vexual: or a small amount of visible water vapour in
the sky
Vexual: i
think bitcloud should be a proof of work image board with extra stenography
benkay: since last universe reset or whatever
they call it?
herbijudlestoids: has anyone come up with any useful use cases for urbit? all i could
think of was a mutt clone lol
☟︎ mircea_popescu: if you had done nothing but reddit, retardopedia and lesssex for
the past
two decades...
mircea_popescu: herbijudlestoids something you may know, but
this is hindering you from seeing
the
true pure beauty of Bit and Cloud!
herbijudlestoids: mircea_popescu: my official job
title is Director of Cloud Operations, so i like
to
think i know something :)
mircea_popescu: actually, did moldbug&co ever manage
to stop urbit from crashing ?
herbijudlestoids: except
the difference is both urbit and
tornet actually have some code committed somewhere
herbijudlestoids: approx
the same idea as urbit or
tornet, rehyped and
the
tech media are cum guzzling it hard
☟︎ herbijudlestoids: somehow i doubt most kickstarters would be considered viable by mircea_popescu for listing
though :P
herbijudlestoids: if
they offer equity
then
they fall under
the various financial regulations
Duffer1: i wish people would stop
throwing money at kickstarters
mircea_popescu: yeah, interesting
to me
too. in
the following sense : a londoner goes
to
the country, and upon hearing a goose meow he expresses his astonishment : listen
to
the cock neigh!
lewicki: not if
they all commit suicide first...
herbijudlestoids: i guess its probly more efficient for
the economy for people
to fund bad ideas directly
than have
to buy junk bonds in
the bad ideas
herbijudlestoids: i personally dont disagree, but interesting
to hear someone from BoE say
that
technology could kill banking
herbijudlestoids: definitely considering
the aggregate demand for junk bonds it does seem
there is a lot of stupid people out
there willing
to fund anything
herbijudlestoids: this interview is supposedly about decentralisation of energy but seems
to cover
the idea
that crowdfunding, p2p lending etc: "Even
the assistant director general of
the Bank of England, Andy Haldane has said
this is showing signs of becoming such a
trend, such a potential mega-trend,
that it could disenfranchise
the main banks,
the high street banks in
the way
that I
think some of
these
trends in renewable energy
herbijudlestoids: mircea_popescu: hmm not sure i understood what you mean? all i was saying is i need
to work
the
timestamps into my script so
that R correctly interprets
them and makes it easy for me
to have
timestamped graphs
gribble: Rating entry successful. Your rating for user asciilifeform has changed from 1

gribble: Error: User doesn't exist in
the Rating or GPG databases. User must be GPG-registered
to receive ratings.
benkay: well like i said i don't
think i even get a say
herbijudlestoids: for example
today i learned i need
to rbind with
timestamps in
the
timeseries
