mats: i'm reading on a cdc site that halon is approx. as toxic to humans as co2
asciilifeform: in otherer still nyooz, holy shit, i found a hidden bottle of ... halon, in this house. stamped 1986.
mircea_popescu: it never took off, the suspension of disbelief required too great i guess.
thestringpuller: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CnZ4ET1VIAAdyxC.jpg:large << I know Ver-IFIED is almost milked dry, but is this what happens when you defect out of naive idealism?
mircea_popescu: well, not much to see and i didn't want to move it.
mircea_popescu: i suspect these actually form a class, something like "escapist technologies". up until recent "steampunk" revival, steam engine and metalworking did not enjoy same position.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: every time i go to a junk shop, the kind with profusion of old photo gear - and that's ~all junk shops, incl. the ones i went to in b-a : i think of how the camera was in some ways the pc of its day : 1,001 vendors cranking out 'us, too'
asciilifeform: i can tell, these also came with fixators for heads
thortron: BingoBoingo: in anycase consider the claim retracted, as attempting to prove it with a signed statement saying "I agree" would make any attempt to prove it worthless.
thortron: BingoBoingo: If you ask gernika, I'm sure he would say "I agree."
BingoBoingo: thortron: But, you really can't say I used to be X without... supporting the assertion?
thortron: BingoBoingo eh nothing to say just lurking. Will pipe up when I can help on a task.
mircea_popescu: ah then i'm doing that.
mircea_popescu: hey, did i ever publish the pics of that fabulous old cameras and photo gear bar ?
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-23#1509316 << i did bring it with me. but not yet dealt with it... ☝︎
mats: i believe this sorta thing is common for high profile cases
mats: i can think of half a dozen reasons, all to do with publicity, subversion of justice, and embarrassing the court
asciilifeform: 'On September 8, 2011, U.S. District Judge James I. Cohn granted the government's motion to prohibit videotaping Rothstein during a scheduled deposition of him, citing “serious harm” and “security reasons that are unusual in nature.” The exact reasons for the judge's decision were sealed. '
gribble: I have not seen yourmom.
mircea_popescu: phf in fariness i had some pretty great oysters on boston wharf.
phf: well, that's what i thought, but trust it to argentinians to fuck it up somehow. ship oysters from boston, because "american" or whatever else
mircea_popescu: nono, the seafood. i mean... the mollusc.
phf: i'd be envious, but after all the other argentina reports, i don't trust that experience to be any good
phf: "My husband is my best friend. When I take off all of these “hats”, my most important job is being a mom. We have three kids who are terrific people."
phf: "while I work hard, I also play hard."
hanbot: ...somebody teach me something quick so i can overwrite that
interviewee: i am probably unpopular but i put somethign like this out there once and caught some shit for it
shinohai: i dont meet too many tbh
interviewee: well, i'm around and happy to join you gents/ladies if other similar issues crop up, so Shinohai, don't be shy if you want to bend my ear.
shinohai: I was curious what legal perspective in US was, thought it might end up as a Qntra
shinohai: but i thank you for stopping in, this is a very interesting study
shinohai: actually no, you summed up everything i wanted to know pretty well.
interviewee: shit. i guess i'm not on their xmas card list.
interviewee: i think still incarcerated
mircea_popescu: http://trilema.com/2010/un-model/ << 2010. i was following.
interviewee: so i know my way around
interviewee: anyway, i've rep'd receivers tht took over 9 digit scams
mircea_popescu: i just said "over a dispute inside management" yes ?
interviewee: if you have a party fighting (like one i am involved with atm) then its a mess
interviewee: i have rep'd a number of receivers
interviewee: i'm easy to find if anyone wants to
interviewee: i'm doing some more of the conferences to try to teach peopel to not make dao messes again
interviewee: seriously, i'll check it out.
interviewee: hey! i'm a lawyer who used to be tech. go easy on me.
interviewee: i'm trying to continue to learn, watch the fireworks, and help out where i can.
mircea_popescu: heh. bitcoin is going to the following place : i'll be electing the us president long after nobody remembers what an us dollar used to be.
mircea_popescu: if they paid attention when they should have they'd have busted pirate when i said to in 2012, not waited for years on the case.
mircea_popescu: so far i'm just pointing and laughing at the sec.
interviewee: so, i gave a talk about this at NYU 3 days before the exploiter did his/her/their thing
interviewee: (i can't spell for shit)
interviewee: and you bet i'd sue your ass
interviewee: if you stole my stradivarious, i'd not lose title just posession
mircea_popescu: sure, i don't mean "title to sue" i mean title as in property
interviewee: there is no govt actor using police power to enforce like the fancy colored linen i used to buy my coffee this am
mircea_popescu: this is one of those million-dollar-opportunities, which i hear are getting rarer and rarer in an ever more crowded lawyer market.
interviewee: a serious claim by a serious party with actual rights and i'm 100000000% down
interviewee: ok, perhaps i am as naive as shinohai suggests, but where's the claim against MIT?
interviewee: so, i'm enjoying this quite a great deal
interviewee: so yes, i think there's a credible arguement that the exploiter just lost rights.
mircea_popescu: no argument there. all i'm saying is that even if the latter were ordered, it'd still not work.
BingoBoingo: I thought it was U Maryland
interviewee: getting service and past a motion to dismiss is what i'm talkign about
interviewee: mircea_popescu i'll check it out
interviewee: who am i IRL?
interviewee: what do you mean "which lawyer am i ?"
interviewee: i enjoyed your blog that you pushed out right after the attack.
shinohai: i was just curious as to the legal standing of the dao from US perspective
interviewee: yes, i am a lawyer.
interviewee: (caveat- i do US law only, because i don't know any other legal system)
shinohai: i follow
shinohai: and you are Drew I presume?

mod6: i've got a few irons in the fire currently... but let's revisit this in a week or two after I get some more work done with the build stuff.
mod6: maybe i'll make a new one?
mod6: i miss the ticker
shinohai: nice i just got in, broke down and bough some muscadine wine for tonite xD
asciilifeform: when generating it, i had the figure cached in head from 1990s, '2048, slow but strong!111'
asciilifeform: i can't speak for others, but if in 2012 someone had shown me a suspected cracking of rsa key in the wild, i would have squeezed stones until i learned how it was done
asciilifeform: i have no doubt that mircea_popescu , if he were inclined, could have written a whole b00k about said item. but all i had was this.
asciilifeform: http://www.websense.com/support/article/kbarticle/How-Can-I-Get-More-Information-About-My-Policy-From-the-Block-Page << done.
asciilifeform: now granted i cannot prove that 'blockpage.cgi' is their censorware monkey's panel...
asciilifeform: ok mircea_popescu this is precious, i cannot resist:
mircea_popescu: i thought he didn't like it ; worked about as well as any os he ever used, any software package ; any box of breakfast cereal etc.
mircea_popescu: i'd rather fuck dudes.
asciilifeform: i will try it shortly after i dine on broken glass, nuts, bolts.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform adding that to your anal illustrative inclination, i get the idea maybe you should try it!
asciilifeform: i dun even grasp the appeal of pr0n with cocks in it. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: now, i never understood the appeal of dressing cows in "business suits" and pretending like they're speaking when they moo. but then again i'm not in the business of running the us empire of pretense.
asciilifeform: i suppose i'm roughly in the position of the quasi-deaf artillerist who goes to a mozart concerto.
shinohai: lol i am just now seeing where someone sent 38k ETH to the dao
asciilifeform: i never understood what was so great about professionally-produced pr0nz.
asciilifeform: i can only assume that mircea_popescu found someone who will pay 100+epsilon for it.
mircea_popescu: i have nfi why you'd pay, for, eg, cnc mill. but whatevs.
asciilifeform: i wouldn't pay 100 usd/mo for pictures of chick
asciilifeform: i suspect that the logic was purely practical - the customers are no longer, by and large, creditworthy.
asciilifeform: now that i think about it, the reason was obvious - get him to cough up dough for extras
mircea_popescu: i have nfi what they did prior. but if not this - not a cable company. sorry.
asciilifeform: one of the best tr0l0l0lz i've seen in eons. whole thing recommended.
