shinohai: i remember pay stalls in some areas of nyc
asciilifeform: i can't wait for pay-as-you-go water and sewer.
mircea_popescu: went straight into bin, where i'd like to put this population wholesale.
mircea_popescu: i have never before seen such nonsense, not even in the depths of romanian 80s poverty, where they actually have unyielding band for the underwear omfg.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile i bought "industria argentina" male underwear which, while spoiling the same amount of cotton as a normal pair ; nevertheless HAS NO RUBBER BAND.
mircea_popescu: moreover, if it were "derp overfilled his pronbox", you'd expect this problem to resolve over time. i'll bet you whatever it will not.
mircea_popescu: and i presume it filters spam to some degree. hopefuly to such degree that an account last used dec 2015 isn't overrun by 30gb worth of spam in 6 months.
asciilifeform: this kind of circus is one of the thing i miss about usenet
asciilifeform: ming to understand my design. I will be happy to send you a copy of my patent application so you can evaluate the veracity of my claims if you will sign a notarized non-disclosure agreement.'
asciilifeform: so, via this heathen pit, http://www.whoismcafee.com/the-travel-guide : 'Dr. McAfee, I have spent the past thirty years perfecting an unbreakable encryption algorithm. My algorithm is not just unbreakable for all practical purposes it is theoretically unbreakable. The advent of quantum computers will not change this. The mathematics confirming my claim is indisputable. You no doubt have sufficient knowledge of mathematics and program
asciilifeform: i followed the qntra link, that's it.
asciilifeform: 'i opened the money-promise box and it had 0, but i do not accuse the vendor of scam'
asciilifeform: 'Either that company was running a scam (and I do not actually accuse them of that) or they were retaining backup copies of the private keys they generated (which they never should have done) and they were stolen by either a hacker or an employee.'
asciilifeform: but srsly i wonder if there is ANY discussion of 'the fella who generated the keys may have copies and you will NEVER prove the contrary' in, e.g., tardstalk, wherever.
mircea_popescu: now i'm reading source material of ro 1960s censorship ("raport de analiza muncii", 3rd/4th q, 1961). guess what ? all the censors are women. andreescu elena, miroiu, takacs margareta (they had hungarians to read the hu stuff lol), "vas a. & pop c.", etc etc. fucking dozen+, all womens.
thestringpuller: asciilifeform: i was thinking of that exact thread when i read the news. prophetic huh?
a111: Logged on 2016-07-06 15:04 asciilifeform: i dun care if it is made of gold, shitanium, hitler's skull, etc.; my take on folks selling envelopes which may or may not contain a funded privkey, and may or may not contain the ONLY extant copy thereof, remains same.
asciilifeform: ;;later tell BingoBoingo http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-22#1508545 << i suggest link to the thread ? or if somebody ( mircea_popescu ? ) ever had an article-length exposition of subj -- to that. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: obv if i fucking google it, trilema is like the only source. motherfucker already. here. http://trilema.com/2011/propuneri-de-masuri-pentru-imbunatațirea-activitații-politico-ideologice-de-educare-marxist-leninista-a-membrilor-de-partid-a-tuturor-oamenilor-muncii-comentate/
asciilifeform: ;;later tell trinque what happened here ? http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-22#1508550 <<>> http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-22#1508553 ? this is not the first time, either. i checked my rss feed, it does not shit out dupes. ☝︎☝︎
mircea_popescu: i thought the idea was someone will hack into your thing via radio.
mircea_popescu: :p i mean
mircea_popescu: it's what i do/did.
a111: Logged on 2016-07-22 12:29 mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-22#1508521 << i don't. "copyright dec blabla 1970" ruins it for me.
a111: Logged on 2016-07-22 06:48 mats: fwiw, i don't believe the radio in the iphone has dma
thestringpuller: Coworker is like "Are these cheap like when bitcoin was cheap? How much are these ether tokens?" Me: "I just said not to huff the ether!!!!!"
thestringpuller: I told someone this mornign as they walked in "Do not huff any ether no matter how compelling" ☟︎
thestringpuller: Oh God. I can't stop the huffing.
a111: Logged on 2016-07-22 00:56 asciilifeform: i wish to move to the planet where ~that~ : https://i.sli.mg/ikoT6o.jpg is how one is introduced to 'the computer'

a111: Logged on 2016-07-21 23:11 phf: instead of investigating this mysterious zip, i spent time reading jordan pearson's twitter. he's special, he's like the worst parody of a 2016 American Nerd
mats: fwiw, i don't believe the radio in the iphone has dma
BingoBoingo: https://i.sli.mg/v7bIi2.png << Do not allow near pdp-11
mats: acog was great for observation the few times I used it -- better for officers
shinohai: nothing yet, i decided to have a bot sit in here and lawg since a111 dies so much
asciilifeform: what did i miss?
asciilifeform: https://i.sli.mg/BzdQZa.jpg << motherfucking firmware ON PAPER TAPE, you can READ it
asciilifeform: i wish to move to the planet where ~that~ : https://i.sli.mg/ikoT6o.jpg is how one is introduced to 'the computer' ☟︎
asciilifeform: https://i.sli.mg/M9tf78.jpg << mega-relay!
phf: first time i see sli.mg in the wild, oddly enough on a pdp-11 ebay listing http://www.ebay.com/itm/Digital-PDP-11-20-with-KT11-B-Paging-Option-/201624309371

mircea_popescu: ftr, i get different hashes for the dlded zip file, but identical contents for the extracted index.html (ie, diff reports no diff.)
asciilifeform: which never comes out if i download.
asciilifeform: yes, i get same !
mircea_popescu: anyway - from what i see old cli zip does take the (correct sized, 32kb) file and spit it out as a single file of binary crap, instead of as a directory of 3 files of which one a html and two jpgs
asciilifeform: i am speaking of the raw download
mircea_popescu: no idea ; i always get the same size.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i unzipped the result of curling the url.
asciilifeform: but, i suspect, is payload for some overflowed buffer in winzip or the like.
mircea_popescu: i was able to reproduce teh "weird binary with html tags" by running cli zip 3.0
mircea_popescu: i get different hashes every time also ; but they're all legit zip archives.
asciilifeform: i download it.
asciilifeform: i get a DIFFERENT 128k every time
phf: fwiw i'm getting a different shasum 512 from either of you
asciilifeform: i load it again and...
trinque: I got teh trilema
asciilifeform: i get a 128k binary turd. ☟︎
asciilifeform: not what i get
mircea_popescu: i suppose one thing we could do is change how a111 works so that on every outbout link posted here it a) makes an archive.is copy of thje page ; b) downloads the corresponding zip ☟︎
danielpbarron: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-21#1508359 << I was thinking this too. If people are gonna archive links that's fine but it's better to paste the original link in the logs -- I can always paste it into achive.is myself if it happens to dissapear ☝︎
asciilifeform: the greeks were 'dead' for a while i recall.
mircea_popescu: this being a large part of why i'm not impressed with, eg, schwartz ; or naggum ; etc.
asciilifeform: but - leverage. i fucking hate solving problems in a way that still leaves me to put out fire when the thing inevitably catches fire.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i tend to collect copies, yes. but this is not a systematic thing, and won't be for so long as it has to be manually cranked.
mircea_popescu: jus' saying, i take such a dim view of branding i'm not even willing to consider projects ; merely the people doing them.
ben_vulpes: i have a hateful noise machine upon which i intend to install gigablast eventually.
asciilifeform: i suspect that m5 bolts will fly forth from my arse before they show up here, regardless.
mircea_popescu: ftr, i'm going to negrate anyone giving interviews to this "jordan pearson" shithead.
mircea_popescu: i dun personally give much of a shit, for exactly the "Wasn't in wot, isn't a person, can't be buried" reason.
asciilifeform: i can see this pov, i might not want crocodiles around, but there are still folks who can end up in a crock and i will not shed tear for them, even as we shoot the crock
a111: Logged on 2016-07-21 21:24 asciilifeform: ftr i have 0 sympathy for folks who ~sell~ warez. i dun care if they are eaten by usg, or by crocodiles, or martians.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-21#1508255 << gold: 'Our recent generation of Makers, hackers, and entrepreneurs have developed under the shadow of Section 1201... Our children deserve better. I can no longer stand by as a passive witness to this situation. I was born into a 1201-free world, and our future generations deserve that same freedom of thought and expression. I am but one instrument in a large orchestra performing the symph ☝︎
danielpbarron: ah now i see that is snow in the forground
danielpbarron: i'd also like to know, but if i had to guess, it looks like a cave that is located under a body of water that is draining into it from above, as seen from within the cave
asciilifeform: i meant, what is the pictured item ?
danielpbarron: in vaguely related news, http://i.imgur.com/9OwuXzQ.png
asciilifeform: it isn't that i particularly loathe this particular schmuck, but his fate is not astonishing, any more than the fate of a gay dude who 'barebacks' every night with randos at the 'bath-house', dies of aids
asciilifeform: lel i had no idea. never used.
asciilifeform: from what i can tell, fella thought himself Too Good for wot, and for 100% btc op
asciilifeform: ftr i have 0 sympathy for folks who ~sell~ warez. i dun care if they are eaten by usg, or by crocodiles, or martians. ☟︎
asciilifeform: phf: i dun have, but they do: http://flibusta.is/a/29774
ben_vulpes: "please to the pretty please to do what i want instead of what your masters demand? puweaze?"
mircea_popescu: "This is how I know that anyone who says, "If only I could live in Mad Men time where you could pinch a girl's ass and not get in trouble for it" is going to be way disappointed if a TARDIS shows up, because they wouldn't pinch them back then, either, not because they are afraid of trouble but because they are afraid of girls. Exhibit A: you know what a TARDIS is." << guy rocks lol
mircea_popescu: phf um, iirc i only kept one, the one with the minimum income thing. you want that ?
asciilifeform: i want my 20 seconds back.
asciilifeform: so i suspect they are already following mircea_popescu's tip.
asciilifeform: judging by what i get in the crates here.
asciilifeform: i bet the chinese dun test no moar.
asciilifeform: this is one of the reasons i wrote 'must have fpga, with quartz window'. you can inspect a ~regular~ geometric structure far more easily than any other kind
asciilifeform: until silicon can be made piecewise, like a printer page, rather than photographically by the million copies, we are stuck with it. (and antifuse costs 0 and eliminates problem, so i have nfi what mircea_popescu is smoking)
asciilifeform: it is nonsense, what can i say. and the folks who build machine this way, will come to grief.
asciilifeform: i will listen to this nonsense after mircea_popescu has a plane built according to this philosophy and flies in it.
asciilifeform: at any rate, and as i wrote long ago, imho soldered-in 'bugs' are quite obsolete - there is built-in hole in ~everything made for eons now.
mircea_popescu: no but seriously, i expect polished leaded glass encased in composite material of same density.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i would expect "mommentum allignment". ie, engineer the parts so that sudden acceleration moves them all equally.
mats: I got an acog and it was garbage
asciilifeform: mats: i always wondered, what keeps the mirrors, prisms, etc in that $700 box from whanging out of alignment after 1000 shots
mats: I was trained to use low ready when breaching, it's close enough to align dot against enemy two meters away
asciilifeform: it wasn't in the catalogue i read...
mats: I forget if it's the acog or eotech
