mats: too bad the army doesn't have
a mega-visible, five-years-behind and 100bn-cost-overrun project of its own
ben_vulpes: the ships, along with the plane, are such
a delightful distillation of the disintegration in place
mircea_popescu: Framedragger anyway, stalin or no stalin, the marxist "perspective" is exactly "
a study of antarctica from the point of view of santa's factory"
Framedragger: i'm not sure if žižek "seriously references Stalin", i mean he has the guy's portrait in his apartment iirc (...), and it's
a bit of
a joke. (yes am aware stalin gets quoted, including in his books which i've glanced at.) either way, yeah, it's
a dorky mish-mash of things...
shinohai: Therefore, investing in Night Train will be
a win.
trinque: sometimes people can think of two, even three fruits at
a time!
mircea_popescu: it makes the db slightly larger, but it does solve
a fundamental problem.
mircea_popescu: he does have
a point, and i think also the code to allow you to extract it from
a pubkey if need be
mircea_popescu: yes well, to clean
a room you gotta at some point stand on dirty floor.
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: i'm saying that there's
a possible runaway effect where
a party could claim to own many
a fingerprint, because "their key fingerprinting function is like that", to the point where semantically useful names could be owned by them. but that's just ridiculous..
mircea_popescu: think - currently deedbot administers
a very narrow implementation of the gns, whereby if you claim to own X domain, it challenges you and if you pass it gives it to you.
☟︎ Framedragger: i guess i could invent
a hash function which always outputs some short meaningful names like "CocksCocksBallsCocks" and then claim i have
a right to them because that's my fingerprint, but it all boils down to WoT and "don't be ridiculous".
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: i'm still not sure about the delegation thing. if
A owns goodreads, B should in principle be able to register fuck.goodreads , right? but then allowing for
a possibility of delegation would be nice. or, it'd just be
a matter of convention *within deedbot's context*.
mircea_popescu: whole piece of shit is
a repugnant midden of magic crap
Framedragger: (btw, current dns does not allow for arbitrary fields the way you think it does; it does have
a TXT type of record, but that's not the same; types of records are baked-in in the sense that they have magical IDs to be specified at dns payload header. obvs this cannot stand!)
mircea_popescu: Framedragger on contemplation it'd be
a "goodreads" root rather than the domain in question.
Framedragger: the N-to-1 relation (many possible ratings for one name) needs to be stored somehow, i suppose it may be multiple gns fields, but then it is the case that not *all* fields of
a specific name are controlled by the name's owner; or, there's
a separate service / storage thing.
mircea_popescu: give trinque 's idea
a bit of
a kick, basically. just because something was mentioned here doesn't automatically mean it's worth reading ; though it IS
a sign it exists.
mircea_popescu: same thing : people pop
a link in, if the site's any good it gets
a !!readworthy
mircea_popescu: nah works just like !!rate. currently someone pops in, people !!up him, if he's not obnoxious gets
a courtesy rating or two.
trinque: given
a concept of the top, you can do things like "archive all content within L2 of logs"
mircea_popescu: google is ~worthless as it is, certainly there's
a hole here.
trinque: Framedragger: it'd be
a step towards
a republican search engine too
Framedragger: would be nice to run
a netcraft-like service which observes all searchable internet's certificates..
mircea_popescu: ^ almost
a bitcent. really
a bitcent if premiums are included.
shinohai:
A Trumpreich DoD should provide
a steady stream of entertaining lulz no doubt.
shinohai: Been
a bad year for the US Navy
trinque: suffice it to say that this country does not produce anyone worth "networking" is
a thing.
trinque just wandered home from drinking with some suit-wearing creatures he just met at
a local pub.
trinque: what's up currently was
a single shot of the tool
trinque: in completely other lol, apparently the ppc macs have
a vestigial serial port
trinque:
a guy clicks
a link on the wot browser and he's kicked to
a page which highlights the message.
trinque: phf: can has way of linking first spoken line of
a nick?
Framedragger: (which reminds me that i hinted of consolidating what i myself find into
a wiki, which would be useful for folks, and never did that...)
tb0t: Project: trb, ID: 1, Type: D, Subject: Wallet counts change amounts in total balance, Antecedents: , Notes: It has been wildly reported that version 0.5.4 (99999) of the Reference Implementation adds change from
a given transaction to the wallet balance.
mod6: i'm actually making
a database currently for
a possible private version in the future.
Framedragger: mod6: tbh am just fiddling around. i wanted
a list of all tickets, and to be able to view every ticket separately, if that's even applicable
mod6: Framedragger: are you trying to view
a ticket for trb?
a111: Logged on 2015-10-14 20:13 asciilifeform: the - presently nameless - pgptron - is simply an emulator for
a very simple but imaginary computer which performs arbitrary arithmetic on bignums.
mircea_popescu: if only that shit worked, what
a wonderful world would it be.
mircea_popescu: "this news site may be faek" hurts google
a lot more than it hurts qntra.
trinque: that's it, 2016 tied up with
a bow, nice and clean.
trinque:
http://archive.is/xSf35 << Pressed on whether he had definitively ruled out
a prosecution of Mrs. Clinton, he said, “It’s just not something that I feel very strongly about.”
mircea_popescu: so yes, for the people to whom "their" twitter's page is important, then "their" keybase key makes sense. and for the same money, for the people who breathe underwater, land respiratorial equipment is
a must get. and for the people who are healed by collodial silver/prayer/psychic surgery etc, collodial silver/prayer/psychic surgery etc are useful.
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: sure, logical explosion, though yeah that usually requires both attribute-holders to exist, if you're claiming one of them doesn't, then it's just
a nonsensical statement. which i guess is your point... i suppose so.
mircea_popescu: you understand how logic works, yes, once you have
a true->false in the chain you can obtain any results.
trinque: or did I just rub the pgp sauce on my twitter because it evokes
a special feeling in my empty loins
Framedragger: look, obviously there are people for whom sociul media accountz are really important. some of them want to pretend they can use crypto, so they use keybase to help them "link" their accounts. while this is inane, this does not, in itself, pose
a security risk, if done properly (with external program which handles your privkey.)
Framedragger: trinque: well, you then submit "proofs" (say tweets) which you can open to actually confirm
a pgp signed message saying that "@isuckballs is my (gpg id: ...) twitter account."
Framedragger: also, something about
a virtual folder for sharing data with friends whose pgp keys you have? you just do echo "attack at dawn" > /something/friendname/secret.txt
Framedragger: it says "add or create
a PGP key" when registered. heh.
Framedragger: but if it has
a "luzer friendly mode" where "you don't need to external app yo", then that's bad by itself. :/
Framedragger: asciilifeform: what do you mean, "slightly different js"? is there any point in time where you need to entrust your privkey to local js? i thought it was just
a matter of giving it pubkeys and sigs?
mircea_popescu: i think it must be blindness throuhg immersion (and
a healthy dose of phonetics innocence, obv.)
mircea_popescu: "oh but we are dedicated to not telling people what to do" "and your mother's
a whore."
mircea_popescu: t there is little point in blessing
a potion before quaffing, because it's likely the only way you will level up is via potions and wraith corpses. For example,
a 5th level character who drinks an uncursed potion would be set to 6th level at 320 XP, versus 480 with
a blessed potion. The difference to reach 7th level is 320 (if uncursed was drunk) vs 160 (if blessed was drunk) which is an attainable goal. On the other hand, ab
mircea_popescu: somebody with
a lot more time than sense should probably make
a libertardwiki, explaining all the things that ARE TRUE!!! such as you know, the nazis were this historical group of white men who didn't believe global warming is caused by internet trolls.
