jurov: mircea_popescu: if i encode wav-> mp3 and place barely audible artifacts just so
mircea_popescu: ascii_modem so you're telling me there's f(data, pic.png) - > pic1.png so that a) i can read f and b) i can't didle pic1.png into pic2.png so you can't read data ?
mircea_popescu: ascii_modem think about it,it ?HAS to be sampled. of course spots.
mircea_popescu: ascii_modem why ?
nubbins`: mircea_popescu these business cards will be a headless chicken unless either (a) someone decides on basics like paper/ink color or (b) you give me free reign and accept that some/all recipients will be sad pandas
mircea_popescu: ascii_modem how is it commercial then ?
mircea_popescu: !up ascii_modem
assbot: Logged on 23-03-2015 18:12:56; funkenstein_: it's a publicly traded non profit ?
bitstein: mircea_popescu: I've just been playing with gpg authentication in flask, and I'm trying to better understand how the WoT (in its current implementation) mitigates various risks.
bitstein: mircea_popescu: Thanks. I'll continue reading/thinking about it.
assbot: Logged on 23-03-2015 17:54:27; ascii_field: the basic idea - owner-hostile hardware - is gaining ground.
bitstein: mircea_popescu: Right, it wouldn't prevent the server from not publishing a rating
bitstein: mircea_popescu: you would have the hash of the db timestamped, so you can verify that the rating is current as of a certain point (given you have the data to recreate the hash)
bitstein: mircea_popescu: b is an important point, thanks. As for old rather than current ratings, that's where shasums and deedbot could come in to help.
bitstein: mircea_popescu: I am under the impression that if they wanted to, kako or nano could publish ratings under any name as they please. Is this correct? If so, how can someone viewing the WoT db have certainty that information they see is as the rater intended? GPG signing would be one solution.
bitstein: mircea_popescu: assbot model is much improved over gribble model. there's no more sessions, so you're mostly battling with a solved problem there. << doing an auth for each request is definitely an improvement, but can you elaborate on how that solves the problem?
assbot: Logged on 23-03-2015 14:45:54; funkenstein_: that's right "the gold market" is a single entity which works towards being "less manipulated".

ascii_field actually does find it interesting, and if mircea_popescu ever writes a detailed likbez, will enjoy reading
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: i formed this impression because i do not know the actual truth of the extent of collaboration between gavin et al and satoshi pre-phoundation
ascii_field believes when mircea_popescu says that it -will- explode if used as printed on the crate
mircea_popescu: ascii_field anyway, if you're curious, do a braid on a bitcoin then see what happens.
ascii_field: ben_vulpes has an exhaustive catalogue
ascii_field: mircea_popescu did not miss much
ben_vulpes: <mircea_popescu> ascii_field not only that. the txn making is dust-agnostic. instead of optimizing to not create too small chunks, it just does whatever. << aggressively whatever. semi random selection of outputs, iirc.

mircea_popescu: ascii_field yes but can do it in his own time.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: and recipient does what?
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: iterates, incr. fee, until no error
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: think for a minute
mircea_popescu: ascii_field you know im not proposing quinine solves gout over here.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes don't forget to encrypt your privkey ring with gpg too
ascii_field: ben_vulpes does not keep 'wallet' around. he memorizes private key
ascii_field: fastest way for mircea_popescu to do this is, unfortunately but probably, to wait for my version.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes and also, on my personal wishlist : could block generation finally be fucking fixed ?
mircea_popescu: ascii_field i was talking more in terms of how it's supposed to go. i'm aware the current pos is a pos.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: measure the txn bytes/minute you receive from them << won't work for 0.5.3 as presently exists. bastard blocks -get transmitted- before rejected
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes the only reasonable way to go about it is, pretend the other nodes are your employees. measure the txn bytes/minute you receive from them, give points.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field and the "introduce scoring for peers, shitlist least performing for x interval" idea from earlier, same thread.
assbot: Logged on 30-01-2015 06:45:26; mircea_popescu: <ben_vulpes> something tells me that block downloading and peer selection is an important thing to look at in the next few arbitrary time units. << that something is athena riding a flaming shield.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: aite, the Mars thing has been out for a while. I'll keep looking for the next one.

BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu> cazalla just for the record, on my wishlist-of-things-way-far-out-of-reach, stuff which like hooft says, i'll be happy to get in a 100 years : i'd totally love it if qntra did what medium does, and is correct in doing : chase these social justice idiocies, get insiders to spill the beans. << Medium is just some twitter founder's take on blogger. It only holds writing from the people who choose to blog there for fre

ascii_field: at any rate, i assumed that the ads thing was neither fun nor threatened to replace ben_vulpes's day job
PeterL: I thought ben_vulpes only stopped because too busy with other stuff?
ascii_field: didn't ben_vulpes demonstrate that ads are dead ?
BingoBoingo: funkenstein_: Profit is planned eventually, hopefully. Hence can't commit to no ads

trinque: mircea_popescu: this is the thing; I will never accept death
brendafdez: mircea_popescu I never mentioned it bc I felt very flattered that you added the password input field in the "Paid Content" notice at my request, but seems weird to me that after inputting password it takes you to the homepage. Expected behavior to me would be reloading the page, to see the article one intended to read in the first place. Otherwise one valuable credit goes to waste by loading an unwanted article ;)
