decimation: I guess putin isn'
t happy with having a 'near abroad' anymore
mircea_popescu: decimation the idea is for russian oil to be sold in the manner of oil owned by the us. it doesn'
t matter who gets paid, as long as the "pay" is in accounts run by thiel, and it all follows kyc etc.
mircea_popescu: decimation the russians are unable to do anything in the middle east, as proven by their fabulous failures in afghanistan and cecenia. what's worse, they know this, and won'
t bargain for it.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i don'

mircea_popescu: i guess the author doesn'
t realise it or something, but this lays bare a much used, fundamental, very valuable exploit of aes.
mircea_popescu: It gets worse. Nearly every AES implementation using AESNI will leave two values in registers: The final block of output, and the final round key. The final block of output isn'

jurov: mircea you know of any crypto that doesn'
t need registers?
cazalla: chainsaw wakes me but baby never does, just the wife, she is still sleeping, didn'
t hear chainsaw

t it.
mircea_popescu: so you know, telling me how strong people who temporarily became poor didn'
t really give much of a shit in terms of "the rich" is about as confusing as discussing pregnancy in terms of "look what people can do". tis not people, tis women and women only that can do it.
decimation: I think this 'Puritanism' stems from a basic lack of skills on the part of the bureaucratic leaders. i.e. if you don'
t know how to write a contract for a nuclear submarine, you try to make sure that your employees are well dressed and that 'decorum' is kept.

t having FUN on those foodstamps".

t mean save them in the sense cockroaches are saved.

decimation: re: small plane safety:
http://philip.greenspun.com/flying/safety " If you don'
t want to die like JFK, Jr., who became disoriented on a dark and hazy night over water, don'
t fly at night or don'
t fly at night unless you're absolutely sure that it will be clear with a bright moon. If you don'
t want to die when a 25-year-old part fails in mid-air, get a new airplane. "
mircea_popescu: the funny part here being how the line of the us agitprop was "o laser can'
t hurt our drones" for as long as it took em to finally get a laser mounted on a truck.
mircea_popescu: fluffypony decided ah what the fuck, i can'
t sell this btc for paypal, might as well dump it on gambling.
mircea_popescu: "find a business model where you don'

t take off you just drop 3 meters and spend a month in casts for your sins

t make it an airplane.
mircea_popescu: forget the electronics, this isn'

decimation: re: zelda << "Some coworkers and I have been exchanging messages that we, up until recently, believed to be private.

t specify a defect. Perhaps poor craftsmanship
TheNewDeal: decimation those Cirrus planes fly like rocks. Wouldn'
t be caught dead in one.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I don'
t remember if he was here or not
BingoBoingo: "This was my fault. While I don'
t think it's impossible to fairly cover Bitcoin while also holding some Bitcoins, the reason to make these rules blunt and general, rather than nuanced and specific, is to ensure there's no question about the motivations of the underlying coverage."
