mircea_popescu: but i wouldn't trust anything coming from the powerfully retarded rangers. they tried to get heartbleed into bitcoin, who knows what else they've baked into there we don't know about.
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller more implementations can't hurt.
jborkl: If you don't mind :)
chairman_meow: please don't be gayporn
pankkake: I tried https://ice-dice.com/ for a while, but I don't really have any reason to trust it
jurov: i don't need nor want to explain more
BingoBoingo: Oh, I won't go hungry today. Not with Mr Word Salad here.
thestringpuller: i know it won't make it to the conference
Apocalyptic: hum bitcointalk.org still haven't replaced their SSL cert
nubbins`: you don't get sharpies?
fluffypony: we don't get Sharpies here
nubbins`: the riddler here won't tell us
robwhiz22: Though I should edit them if they were to be posted publicly. (Something I don't suggest at this stage.)
robwhiz22: As I said, I didn't tease with the notes but summarized in full.
robwhiz22: BingoBoingo, this isn't an auction. It is up to Polimedia to publish them when it is ready to do so. (If it wants to.)
robwhiz22: nubbins`, I submitted a proposal to Polimedia, as part of it I gave the "notes" benkay is referring to. I didn't tease with the notes or allude to them.
ozbot: Twitter / LangoschMLB: Well, if you don't like what ...
robwhiz22: benkay - I didn't mean to cause you to want them. For the moment they belong only to Polimedia.
nubbins`: 't sell it
nubbins`: but then he can't get paid
robwhiz22: mircea_popescu, unlike the NSA which tends to hand-wave as they propose certain specific vulnerabilities without giving reasons, my reasoning is stated. This is part of why it is a bit difficult to prepare the proposal in full and I don't do it except if an initial offer is accepted.
gribble: Error: I haven't seen drama.
robwhiz22: I mean the ones that were accepted and paid for. The ones that aren't accepted, I don't write.
asciilifeform: some folks flunked spam school. didn't read 'spam like a pro in 21 days!' very attentively.
nubbins`: (this isn't often)
mircea_popescu: it's not even anything else than *i don't think i could be bothered to use compuers at all without that*
robwhiz22: mircea_popescu, I don't know. The address says "polimedia.us"
robwhiz22: suppose you read my email? Don't you still have it?
nubbins`: why don't we just keep this circular "discussion" going instead
robwhiz22: asciilifeform, why don't you get your boss to accept my proposal and you can stop salivating :)
robwhiz22: You have my letter. The cardano is not fit for any purpose today. (But this can change easily.) Why don't you read my letter then.
bounce: well a big name german guy entirely hung up on language, can't remember his name. there's gotta be irony in there somewhere.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it just denotes the general preocupation. doesn't have to be a poem
mircea_popescu: benkay don't worry, the past two dozen lines were all a setup for me to say "become benkay"
benkay: no don't its horrible
mircea_popescu: robwhiz22 i don't have it in mind, you have it in mind. whatever it is in your mind that makes you think i could conceivably give a shit about your proposal.
asciilifeform: robwhiz22: what sense would the reply make to the rest of us if we don't know the question?
mircea_popescu: robwhiz22 i didn't see it. i just have a stock answer to all those that insist to aproach me personally as if we have some sort of a relationship.
robwhiz22: asciilifeform, mircea_popescu has seen a proposal I submitted to polymedia and responded that "The best approach would be to join #bitcoin-assets on Freenode" and sent me a link ("http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=bitcoin-assets if you don't have a client handy") which is what I called an invitation.
asciilifeform: or else your answer wouldn't make sense
fluffypony doesn't know the parlance. at all.
jurov: benaky isn't fructifying the right word?
mircea_popescu: anyway, please everyone don't read my supersikrit business idea
nubbins`: and chip & pepper t-shirts
fluffypony: don't you know it
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller bitbet ain't paying cause it overpaid last month :D
BingoBoingo: nubbins`: Eye doesn't look to be inflamed
jurov: but i don't get what you are misunderstanding?
pankkake: gsm was designed by people with no real computing experience. don't trust the telephonists for anything
benkay: there's an auth path that does away with passwords, but i don't know that anyone's going to implement it.
benkay: don't be too harsh on the guys, they need to throw down another 10-20k on branding and copy.
Musk: benkay Lets all watch Bloomberg t.v the essances of real economic news...
benkay: i know i know; party line is "bitcoins aren't money"
mike_c: isn't 'thousands of eyes' always the flawed argument why open source software is safe?
benkay: mircea_popescu:BingoBoingo: So... what Open source alternatives are there to OpenSSL which aren't as much of a bitch to read? << this is actually a very large, and very open problem. << http://golang.org/pkg/crypto/tls/, seems to be about 8kloc
pLambert: I don't have time for patience!
thestringpuller: so did bitbet but it hasn't paid yet either
thestringpuller: why wouldn't it?
gribble: Error: I haven't seen drama.
assbot: Hell, ain't we about more fucked than a whore at closin' time, huh?
fluffypony: because women + babies aren't = men
joecool: hmm, doesn't openssl also have weird licensing that would prevent a fork?
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: yeah, you can't minimise it, but it's a problem in the townships and villages and not so much in the suburbs
BingoBoingo: "Besides, if Silicon Valley can proselytize about cloud country and dividing California into six pieces, why can't their political enemies engage in similar flights of fancy about the world as it currently exists? " << They can't
mircea_popescu: they don't work, but unless we build a huge broom somehow...
mircea_popescu: if they didn't it'd have long disappeared.
BingoBoingo: Fossil fuels make my Saturn go and don't give me any trouble.
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: Btc jam had the option, I figured it wasn't unheard of for loans with a term of more than like 2 weeks
BingoBoingo: So I can't complain.
mircea_popescu: bitcoinpete: and how is doge still even around? first teh nascar, now this merged-mining noise << it's only "still around" in the sense of noise. like you know, the dead aren't really dead if you remember them :D
mircea_popescu: well duh. they ain't there.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo it was obviously a jab at a roomfull of potheads telling the sober guy that "he doesn't understand how the pretty colors work"
BingoBoingo: My hypothesis on why Putin can't understant how the world works though is that the world just doesn't work because it has no benefit from doing so.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo isn't 54 a little young to die ?
mircea_popescu: i guess may account for why putin "doens't understand how the world works".
BingoBoingo: Back in the day wouldn't have been dared here
mircea_popescu: "We would never strike a student and whether the software is pirated or not is not the issue. He denied having the drive which means he knew he shouldn't have it here then it was found in his bag so I feel the punishment is suitable."
mircea_popescu: ;;later tell ThickAsThieves of course you don't use tor unless you're doing something illegal. EVERYTHING YOU CAN DO IS ILLEGAL!
mircea_popescu: sadly these idiots have gotten it to where i can't send you a bottle.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I like cognac. I'd have to get cigarettes that aren't menthols, but I like that family of liquors.
BingoBoingo: I want to do a post on Donnie Darko and Popular American Calvinism, but I just can't get myself drunk enough to write it.
bounce: the "TL;DR" thing is a nice misunderstanding, by the by. don't put summaries at the bottom, where I find'em after I read the article.
BingoBoingo: Lighter for lighter's sake isn't really the aim though
mircea_popescu: this is inspiured by ... ford t pretty much
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform more than semiconductor chemistry i'd say. lynn conway wasn't 40 years ago was she ?
bounce: let's start with the type of model we'd like there. hierarchical is "natural" for over-enthousiastic devs but doesn't work all that well in practice.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo: So... what Open source alternatives are there to OpenSSL which aren't as much of a bitch to read? << this is actually a very large, and very open problem.
bounce: don't link me, and no I don't have a twittar
mircea_popescu: Apocalyptic don't you just love this cert business as implemented.
gribble: Error: You don't have the #bitcoin-assets,voice capability. If you think that you should have this capability, be sure that you are identified before trying again. The 'whoami' command can tell you if you're identified.
fluffypony: bounce: you could possibly only see people identifying on SSL connections if the SSL/non-SSL memory pools don't overlap
bounce: now I can't help but wonder if your (nickserv/on connect) passwords aren't vulnerable even if /you/ don't connect via ssl to freenode. since loaded library, probably.
mircea_popescu: i didn't get to read it yet, because well... i got this endless list of reports to look through yet.
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: btw I found my blog post today, didn't even realise I was internet famous:) I hope the comment cleared up that I wasn't being entirely retarded at the time!
mircea_popescu: the first name isn't quite keonne, but it's a sort of hm.
BingoBoingo: Firstname is too, the combination isn't too common though
mircea_popescu: this is why bitcoin will rule all fiat : those people can't even keep up with the obvious conspiraci theories.
mircea_popescu: tbh im kinda surprised teh tradepress isn't howling all about "in january, 'Bitcoin Baron Keeps a Secretive Open Source OS Alive' ; in april, nsa's crown jool is thrown in the dirt of the public space." ☟︎
keonne: fluffypony: yeah i read about that, pretty shitty, i don't know that multibit ahs even acknowledged that issue
bounce: peon cards. places like estonia and iceland are pretty close, others are going there with the "unified" gov't id card; matter of time before banking cards move into it. nobody seems to care that the gov't then owns your entire identity yet that much more, either.
