that?
thread number 3?
nubbins`: well, ya know. gotta pay for
the "free" healthcare somehow.
nubbins`: oh right,
those aren't allowed down
there
mike_c: lots of good
things up north, but low
taxes aren't one of
them :)
nubbins`: they come here for
the weed and syrup
mike_c: " you know, Americans do not come
to Canada for
the low
taxes," says Wrobel.
nubbins`: anyway,
this seems like a direct violation of
the charter
nubbins`: puerto rico can't even vote, you
think
they're gonna let canadians do it?
mike_c: you would
think
the rest of
the world would get
to vote in US elections in
that case.
mike_c: nice how we can make laws for
the world.
mike_c: The law forces all banks and other financial institutions outside
the U.S.
to search for customers who have certain "indicia."
nubbins`: if only
there was some sort of way
to store monetary value without having
to use a bank
ozbot: Canadian banks
to be compelled

nubbins`: i'm pretty sure he's not a
troll
thestringpuller: "Luke-jr is not part of
the Bitcoin devteam. He.s a loud and mostly useless contributor, such as pretty much everyone with a github + my cat."

nubbins`: <Luke-Jr> quickcoin: before
the Church, people were just superstitious idiots
nubbins`: why
the fuck would anyone want shitty generic x when fabulous new x' is available?

the new generation!
nubbins`: yeah, but
there are ways around
that
nubbins`: or
the ones with diseases for which
there is not yet any
treatment
nubbins`: so would all
the people dependent on complex medications
thestringpuller: kleeck: I use science in
the sense of, "a calculus used for discovery", or "something discovered using
the scientific method".
nubbins`: of course,
this fails in practice
kleeck: nubbins`, I
think
that's a
thought worth exploring.
nubbins`: anything for
the betterment of mankind can't be patented
nubbins`: stallman had lucid
thoughts on
this
thestringpuller: but you shouldn't be able
to own something someone else can easily discover
kleeck: It's ok
to own a
thing you create.
kleeck: I do like openSource
though.
kleeck: I don't believe
that's
the answer.
kleeck: Patent
Trolls buy patents and
then claim
they have
the rights
to
things
that
they often don't.
kleeck: You can patent
things internationally.
kleeck: "You embarrass me," said Diffie. "But yes, I
think it's fair."
kleeck: "Is it fair
to say
that
the jury is looking at a little bit of history, in
terms of cryptography?" asked Albright.
kleeck: In 1976, he published "New Directions in Cryptography" with Martin Hellman.
The paper's cover sheet was displayed on
the screen in court.
thestringpuller: if someone patents something in america, just like move
to china no?
kleeck: and I love seeing patent
trolls get
trounced.
kleeck: He worked WITH Hellman
though
nubbins`: i
think you might have your names mixed up
kleeck: "And how is it
that you're familiar with public key encryption?"
kleeck: "Yes, I am," said Diffie, in what surely qualified as
the biggest understatement of
the
trial.
kleeck: "We've heard a good bit in
this courtroom about public key encryption," said Albright. "Are you familiar with
that?
ozbot: Newegg
trial: Crypto legend
takes
the stand, goes for knockout patent punch | Ars
Technica

benkay: what kind of hashing scenario would
target fpga's well?
thestringpuller: Your pain is
the breaking of
the shell
that encloses your understanding.
BingoBoingo: Shannon security is an awfully elusive
thing in reality.
BingoBoingo: Well,
that has always been an obstacle
to secure implementation of OTP schemes in practice.
BingoBoingo: For most purposes I imagine RAND's One million numbers with 100,000 normal deviates would probably be preferable
to most current computer RNGs,
though
the RAND book would be horrible for creating a one
time pad.
BingoBoingo: I imagine
the cardono's RNG board might find a market in academia where decent random numbers are needed for certain
types of statistical work
BingoBoingo: Yeah, also I imagine an RNG is a pieces of hardware where shrinking
the node size is detrimental. Probing
things best measured in nanometers seems like an expensive proposition.
