mircea_popescu: jcpham they had the 100th scam ipo and a bunch of others. par for the course.
jcpham: unsure if true or not, but apparently the IPO is fraud
Kushedout: There is nothing in the logs besides someone asking the same question and you bashing.
mike_c: picostocks is the php of btc exchanges.
Kushedout: Anyone know what this is all about? https://picostocks.com/stocks/view/31 cause it doesn't look legit http://i.imgur.com/ZMf6Lvt.png
pankkake: well, unless you're not the husband of course
mircea_popescu: not as hard as you'd think.
pankkake: married women doors are usually hard to penetrate
afrotec: but that's more fun
mircea_popescu: rather than spend a lot on making the windows impenetrable and the doors unopenable.
mircea_popescu: similarly, when you get married you're well advised to marry women you can trust
KRS1: I disagree..that couldn't possibly be the case.
KRS1: Why can't infrastructure managers use dedicated lines? Are they that keen on saving money that high risk infrastructure be connected to public networks?
mike_c: while pondering the calm, go buy my piddling few ATM options: http://mpex.co/?mpsic=O.USD.C125T
mircea_popescu: deizel it's a scam since day one, this is well known, not much to see hiar.
deizel: i'd like to know before putting money into a hacked exchange written in cakephp that doesn't even have the securitycomponent enabled on the login screen
pankkake: pretty much. and I've used it a lot - this is why I hate it
deizel: is this coint ipo on picostocks for real?
mike_c: pankkake is saying that it does the same thing as other languages, only worse.
pankkake: it has no special features for the web
pankkake: no it's not. many languages can do that
mircea_popescu: php is intended to make the date show in a html page.
mircea_popescu: this arguing as to why php is not the best tool to write nuclear power plant supervision tools and spacecraft controlsoftware entirely misses the point.
mike_c: "You pull out the hammer, but to your dismay, it has the claw part on both sides. Still serviceable though, I mean, you can hit nails with the middle of the head holding it sideways."
pankkake: there is no rebutal. this is written by someone with years of experience using php
mike_c: it is so funny though
zoinky: wish i saved the one that rebuttals it
zoinky: i remember this php blog post
mircea_popescu: would you stop torturing things.
mircea_popescu: dude. it's for serving blogs and stuff like that.
jcpham: in today's internet a preprocessor scares me
mike_c: there are many things wrong with php
mircea_popescu: the dorks are the problem. php
mircea_popescu: but the trained eye doth see the signs.
mircea_popescu: maybe not necessarily clear to the average 27 yo muppet who thinks building php code out of stack exchange snippets makes him a businessman,
mircea_popescu: yeah, it's quite clear that the bitcoin foundation is constructed according to a desgned specification, not unique to it.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: interestingly, the 'tor foundation' is a lot like the 'bitcoin foundation' but more so. they have a list of 'authority' nodes that every client prefers by default.
mircea_popescu: i'm with asciilifeform's suggestion : that pps is prima facie evidence that the nsa is in fact currently decoding ALL traffic passing through all tor nodes, linking it to originating ips and storing this mess. ☟︎
asciilifeform: no way in hell do these buggers not operate several Tb/sec worth of nodes
asciilifeform: anyone read the powerpoint crap yet?
mircea_popescu: it;s gotten to the point where pps sheets are classified top secret
pizzaman1337: hey look, NSA has been targeting tor: http://rt.com/usa/nsa-target-tor-network-739/
mircea_popescu: but in general, it's a clerical error, you owe them
mircea_popescu: depends how able you are to retain counsel.
kleeck: So, if you have time to remove any amount of that do you get charged or does it qualify as a banking error and they eat the cost?
ozbot: Bank Glitch Enters $4 Trillion To Fort Smith Account | The Times Record
ozbot: Mississippi bank mistake leaves customers with trillion dollar deposits | wcsh6.com
plambert: The bank, which asked their customer not to identify them, had made the error during an online banking update - I wonder which bank it was?
kleeck: The markets eat him up though. If you want to crash it, have Burnanke say something negative.
VanCleef: but the marketplace knows oh bummer is always lying so not too much damage
VanCleef: trying hard to troll the markets
kleeck: He needed to get Burnanke to say it, then we'd see a sell off.
mircea_popescu: i guess he's not particularly important in the us.
mircea_popescu: the markets drop less than 1 %.
mircea_popescu: us president goes "the markets aren't paying enough attention, we are going to default!"
mircea_popescu: mod6 i was thinking the same thing lol. account not found!
gribble: This order would exceed the size of the order book. You would buy 58928.026 bitcoins, for a total of 763585337.8132 USD and take the price to 1793300000.0000. | Data vintage: 13.7287 seconds
kleeck: If I saw that much cash in my account I'd conver it to BTC ASAP.
topace: cavirtex limits the bids to 1/10th of last trade, and the asks to 10 times last trade
plambert: it just seems like a strange number for the limit
plambert: why does campbx have a price limit of 1111.11 dollars? They don't let you put in asks for higher than that amount?
gribble: Next difficulty estimate | 185257911.629 based on data since last change | 202183809.301 based on data for last three days
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [XBOND] [PAID] 0.69348300 BTC to 1`386`966 shares, 50 satoshi per share
mircea_popescu: the way that shit works out... 103 huh.
mircea_popescu: hey topace Ukyo http://trilema.com/2013/so-whos-running-the-courts-circus/ give a coin would you ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform check this shit out : "Only 517 full time magistrate judges and 42 part-time magistrate judges plus some weirdo who is both magistrate judge and court clerk, as of 2009. Guess there couldn’t have been many more in 1993. So I’ll start looking for or making that list. Probably start next week because of the blogging thing."
asciilifeform: i do wonder about the fellows who built 'Glomar Explorer'. all dead/senile by now?
mircea_popescu: that may or may not be. factually however, the cream of the us navy is getting boobjobs and trying to be called chelsea.
asciilifeform: i don't think the ussr lived to get fiber taps right
asciilifeform: the cream of the russian navy was rusting and irradiating walrus, last i checked
mircea_popescu: by this aergument the russians own the intertnet.
asciilifeform: even if you paid for the boat and so forth
asciilifeform: see, don't misunderstand, nato doesn't formally own all the oceanic fibers, etc. but if someone can cut your fiber and weld it back with a magic box inline, and you can't do squat about it... you don't own said fiber.
mircea_popescu: whatcher talking about.
mircea_popescu: it doesn't mainly consist of us telecom now.
asciilifeform: maybe time to bring back fidonet.
asciilifeform: it would be interesting to see an internet that doesn't consist mainly of u.s. telecom oligopolies.
mircea_popescu: yes but cars run in the us.
mircea_popescu: i don't see why this is so hard to graps, but the sovereignity of the internet is not negotiable, it is mandatory.
asciilifeform: for example, it now is (or soon will be, depending on what document you believe) to sell a car in the u.s. without a remote-disable radio.
mircea_popescu: net result, us loses the shred of internet relevance it still has
asciilifeform: i suspect that the screws will be tightened soon, and the rules that apply to telephone exchanges (illegal to run without user-friendly backdoor at your own expense) will be applied elsewhere.
mircea_popescu: and that binall guy is a retard.
asciilifeform: L's system, lame as it was for obvious reasons, was unusual in that regard.
mircea_popescu: fucking obnoxious dude, that. hello! jim mays here with the government's latest pile of nonsense!"
asciilifeform: my suspicion is that the inquisitor (the fellow who actually ran the show) - and definitely the judge - weren't really prepared for the 'we don't have a backdoor already' statement by L
mircea_popescu: pretty fucking pernicious this, the defendant doesn't get to go around and chat weith the judge off the record first, before picking one.
mircea_popescu: and then in court the judge was confronted with a different request from what was agreed in advance.
mircea_popescu: re-reading the transcript it sort-of makes it sound as if the fbi and the judge had prior agreement
mircea_popescu: rather than with their government.
mircea_popescu: or pehraps a not wholly digested sense that they are interacting with their enemy
asciilifeform: I imagine there was a precedent where it didn't fly. That, or L and all of his predecessors had uncommonly drunken lawyers.
mircea_popescu: besides, there's an entire mess of civil proceedings that are still criminal for the purposes of that defense.
mircea_popescu: 5th defense is available throughout.
mircea_popescu: itmakes little difference tho.
asciilifeform: might want to ask a real live lawyer about this one
asciilifeform: where he might try to take the 5th
asciilifeform: if he sat around until they physically dragged him off, he might've been able to (might still, actually) end up in criminal proceedings
asciilifeform: or rather, 'administrative' - sort of like traffic court
asciilifeform: threatening, yes, but AFAIK this was technically a civil case.
