asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: no selfsig in a hand-keyed item is suicidal.
mircea_popescu: b) i do not regard a modulus with a new comment pasted in as "same".
mircea_popescu: a) it becomes no longer obvious for enemy whether key is or is not = key he wants to look for.
mircea_popescu: beats it being a csv line.
asciilifeform: idea is that a fully uncompressed, dearmoured, etc. key will be a sexpr.
mircea_popescu: that's not really related is it ? all i'm discussing is a) fingerprint and b) armorer format.
asciilifeform: and we will go broke over telegraph time, sending a few moar bits ?
asciilifeform: lel, not to a lisp programmer!1111
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform ideally tmsr rsa, such as for eulora etc, uses a fp and armored base90 as above. so there!
mircea_popescu: problem is you want a modulus-comment association no ?
asciilifeform: 'key id' is a heavy burden to put on a poor old hash.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: with a hash that long, you may as well simply display the modulus.
mircea_popescu: yeah this entire "id of rsa key" thing needs a fix. i imagine sha512 of tmsr standard is the only way to go.
asciilifeform: it's been a thing, for eons.
phf: i suspect that phuctor work has increased attention to gpg both on wrecker and on attacker side. no way that short-id collision would've been a thing without phuctor

mircea_popescu: neway. i was jus' bein' a little stylistical.
asciilifeform: ( i suppose, in the olden days, when a power dildo was a glass tube with bee swarm sealed in, it could be 'spend' when most of the bees are dead .... but this dun look like a beetronic dildo.)
mircea_popescu: is that a spent dildo next to him ?
mircea_popescu: in another life, /me got a lot of mileage out of an old painter's table for this purpose, checking civil engineering designs.
phf: asciilifeform: proper ergonomics is a novel thing for me, as documented in logs
mircea_popescu: he has a point in that horiz scanning is better in humans than vertical. so if indeed he does something like a stoick trader, 3x2 2x1 etc.
a111: Logged on 2013-12-22 16:56 asciilifeform: 'what people “want” is a function of what they learn is available. e.g., do Americans want three-ring binders, and Europeans four-ring binders? or do they want binders and take whatever number of holes they come with? or do they want something that can help them organize their papers and take whatever is available? or do they really want a less cluttered office and ease of storage and retrieval of the infor
mircea_popescu: there's nothing intrinsically unswappable in a laptop. just, manufacturers elect to be idiots.
mircea_popescu: if someone came up with the sane idea of making a 1m x 30cm laptop, whence the screen unfolds and turns 90 degrees, i'd probably consider that item au par with a desktop.
mircea_popescu: PeterL similarly to a detached head, yes.
PeterL: you can have a computer without a keyboard (gets instructions from network or other devices), a keyboard without the computer connected does not do much thinking
mircea_popescu: what the computer does without a keyboard is digestion, not thinking.
mircea_popescu: if detached from your head you'd also be a lot more portable.
mircea_popescu pictures woman flying around with tip of boeing in her snatch, "YES! YES! HARDER!" for a visual. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: it is also convenient to have a cardildo.
PeterL: it is convienient to have phone/texting/camera/music streaming/log reading all on one device in a pocket
asciilifeform: i'ma guess PeterL wants a gadget you can read l0gz on in the train, etc.
mircea_popescu: mno. "cardildo is not a thing. did you want a car or a dildo."
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform wouldn't i make a great soviet shop keeper ?
mircea_popescu: unless you were asking for a desktop, in which case make your own.
asciilifeform: 'here's a cone without razors'
PeterL: android sucks. is there a better alternative?
mircea_popescu: they actually run a java machine on an android-os phone ?
mircea_popescu: turns out microstupid is a way of life.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yhou can root iphone with a jar now ?
asciilifeform: payload is for a pnoje.
mircea_popescu: seems like a parallel world, of middle eastern aziz's dwelling in immitation cubicals, running java machines on their "engineering" desktops...
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I'll wait a couple hours and prolly give it the Roundup Xtend treatment. Lotta little lulz around this.
asciilifeform: meanwhile, völkischer beobachter: http://motherboard.vice.com/read/why-github-removed-links-to-alleged-nsa-data : '“Per our Terms of Service (section A8), we do not allow the auction or sale of stolen property on GitHub. As such, we have removed the repository in question,” Kate Guarente, from Github's communications team, told Motherboard in a statement.'
thestringpuller: like the episode were beavis runs head first as fast as possible into a brick wall thinking he'll bust through
mircea_popescu: people generally like to think faust is a story about someone else. just like they pretend italian cinema is about, you know, that place in europe, and they're ruled by hollywood nonsense. as if that's how things fucking work now.
danielpbarron: (forgetting for a moment that pride in ~anything~ is already wicked)
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron this is your choice to make. but be aware that there's a perfectly valid interpretation of that joke where the dying man is actually proud of the competent ho on his side.
danielpbarron: at least in the line i quoted, it ends with the husband getting killed. It's better for a man to die than for him to live with his wife taken by another. (2 Samuel 11)
mircea_popescu: so he waves them out, to be with his wife of lo these many years, and, taken by a stray thought, he asks her
mircea_popescu: and he has seven sons. six of which - big, strong, beautiful men. the seventh - well, a repugnant hunchback, like that "marketing director" version of mircea popescu.
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron yes. if she's not married, and wants to have kids, some sort of arrangement will have to be made. this has a cost. if she is ALREADY made the fix is already in. this is a value.
a111: Logged on 2016-08-16 16:12 mircea_popescu: the principal avenue for avoidable bodies is precisely this - guy scores chick above his station, she imagines it's obvious he'll share he imagines it's obvious he won't, then she scores guy above her station because being married to someone else is a significant bonus to high level guys ; then the husband gets uppity, gets warned too late, slaps her arround and then next week gets killed.
danielpbarron: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-08-16#1522409 << "high level guys" see adultery as a "bonus" ?? ☝︎
mircea_popescu: hitler ? need i name hitler ? the fucking point of fuhrerprinzip was "every woman in germany is a whore."
asciilifeform: unfortunately i do not presently own a working chronoscope, so i'm stuck with the written record.
mircea_popescu: think about it for a moment. you'll know a few hundred people. if you're the emperor most of them will be whores for the simple reason that whores know more people than i dunno, soldiers.
mircea_popescu: the principal avenue for avoidable bodies is precisely this - guy scores chick above his station, she imagines it's obvious he'll share he imagines it's obvious he won't, then she scores guy above her station because being married to someone else is a significant bonus to high level guys ; then the husband gets uppity, gets warned too late, slaps her arround and then next week gets killed. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: it's a natural trap that ; men don't take what women blather five minutes before being smacked too seriously ; women don't tend to land the bomb earlier than it's obvious they're getting smacked.
asciilifeform: there may not even be a particular reason. other than the fact that ~some~ ant had to pop.
asciilifeform: sooo thing looks to be a private co., with ownership structure unpublished afaik.
asciilifeform: well i have nfi who formally owned the thing. if it was a public co, as i understand the board can throw out ceo if they decide that they don't like the shape of his nose.
asciilifeform: ^ whole turd worth reading, a very MODERN!11111 trial, complete with seeeeeeekrit evidence and absent accusers
asciilifeform: 'Multimillionaire tech mogul Gurbaksh Chahal — once one of San Francisco’s Internet entrepreneur darlings until he was convicted of domestic abuse and ousted from his own company — was sentenced to 12 months in County Jail Friday by a judge citing his pattern of violence against women.'

mircea_popescu: it is a mega problem
asciilifeform: they feel, in their bones, that the 'individual keyholder' thing is a mega-problem, and it itches, itches.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: this almost comes 'for phree' out of how bitcoin works - 'corporation' cannot hold a coin, even now, only an individual key holder.
mircea_popescu: oh since i'm thinking about it : there's two specific items tmsr wants to bring to the field of probate reform : a) no juridical person beneficiary. no government, ngo, corporation, trust etc may obtain as much as a farthing from any succession. physical persons only. b) no tax or fee of any kind may be levied against succession. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: heh. aaand a trb node is at height 419220 for absolutely no reason ; 50+ connections, stable etc.
a111: Logged on 2016-08-14 19:41 asciilifeform: mats: mircea_popescu will drill you a new arse for this contention (though i still do not grasp why)
phf: holy mother of logs is the only holy thing for a citizen of tmsr (unless they are, of course, danielpbarron)
mircea_popescu: yeah, mother is a distant third
phf: i feel like tmsr needs a bard, whatever happened to vexual ☟︎
mircea_popescu: i guess. ironically - the govt really should luv a "riot" in this sense. those are its people, should just go with them.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: dunno that it has much to do with 'revolutions', it's more of a pour la canaille faut la mitraille sort of thing.
thestringpuller: unless you were making a joke
asciilifeform: 'BOZENA RIOT is a remotely operated, armored vehicle designed to handle riots and mobs in the streets and urbanized areas. The system offers a solution for both protecting the law-enforcement units in action and controlling the situation whenever peace maintenance is required. The machine's design follows the concept of the BOZENA 4 demining system, which has been in use in various countries across Europe, Africa...'
phf puts on a yarmulka and starts dancing
mircea_popescu: (likbez : ant worker is not genetically distinct from ant queen. epigenetics (mostly, env factors - as in feed) make the fenotypical distinction. consequently yes, whole anthill, as far as its underlying mechanics go, is found in each worker ant, all you have to do is sequence the dna and explore the possibilities. that such is currently a computationally prohibitive task is not relevant to the discussion.)
mircea_popescu: "Studying individual ants will never (one can safely say never for most such situations), never give us an idea on how the ant colony operates. For that, one needs to understand an ant colony as an ant colony, no less, no more, not a collection of ants." aaaand we lose interest.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform a really ? well cool then
pete_dushenski: https://medium.com/@nntaled/the-most-intolerant-wins-the-dictatorship-of-the-small-minority-3f1f83ce4e15#.7oipsx4yk << featuring profile pic of nnt in what appears to be a santa hat.
mircea_popescu: much easier to pull off in places that had historically insane restraints on land development which just went away. a lot harder to do in places which are increasingly insane.
mircea_popescu: but the idea is that you want to be 10-20 years early to the party. much like you know, if you're gonna rent out fuckspace at burning man, best go there a day early park the van right.
mircea_popescu: it's complicated, esp in the states. in romania much more trivial a point, growth pattern of cities quite obvious.
phf: for a person who dreams of sleep ad libitum you sure snore a lot
asciilifeform: 'Imposing losses on customers who were not hacked appears to go against the company's terms of service, said Ryan Straus, a Fenwick & West lawyer who advises financial technology companies ...'
pete_dushenski: http://btcbase.org/log/2013-05-08#19773 << a bit longer even. same block. ☝︎
pete_dushenski: http://takimag.com/article/a_hot_month_for_clintons_body_count_gavin_mcinnes/print << light overview of clintler internal kill count.
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: i know a fella who built himself 'country estate' in wv.
trinque: someone sacrifice a virgin to the chaos god
gribble: Error: "tlsb" is not a valid command.
mircea_popescu: anyway, i don't dispute that with care, and expert handling, even a stock trabant might, on perfect roads, safely drive 100km/h briefly.
pete_dushenski: a blight i'd love to see die.
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: recall the thread where mircea_popescu described phriend who went to usa and tried to have a proper house built ?
asciilifeform: it doesn't! example concerned idiot 'aesthetificating' on top of a thoroughly broken construction.
pete_dushenski: bicycle doesn't need spoilers at that speed but trabant does ? this is a problem.
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: except if you had spoilers on a trabant, you'd be forced to ask 'why do those need to be there' to which the answer is 'oh because the car is dreadfully engineered and will lose stability and traction above 50mph'
