mircea_popescu: yes
the most important point if discussing geometry is how it's exaclty undifferentiable from algebra ; but nobody was helped by
this observation in front of
the 5th grade math class.

the gold standard for
this kind of work is instrumented hardware
mircea_popescu: well... it doesn't have
to be
that way. you simply must collapse
the
trees on
the basis of
the constructed image of
the kid's mental structure, not on
the basis of
the subjective perception of importance.

t the polar opposite of dealing with kids, you are
terrifyingly bad.
douchebag: ben_vulpes, esthlos, and danielpbarron - is
there anything I can do
to
to repair my reputation? Let me know, and get back
to me.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: these will have
to be converted into a useful form, but fitting
this up can be done during your scan, which will
take weeks anyway.
mircea_popescu: and once
that is done : connect
to every machine on
the internet, for ssh ~and
https~, and extract all
the keys
they have, such as
the item you listed above, yes, for ssh, and
the pubkeys
they keep in cert dirs for
https. mircea_popescu: those are more important, we're
trying
to work
to limit
the reputational damage you incur by being
the word's most improbable mixture of youthful add and solipsistic otaku.
a111: Logged on 2018-05-22 22:14 mircea_popescu: douchebag, now go
through your wot, ask
the people with -s
to please
take
them off, see what
they want from you
to do so.
douchebag: I would just be grabbing
that and loading it into phuctor, correct?
douchebag: mircea_popescu: So for
the ssh/ssl
thing
douchebag: I only got
the job I'm working at right now because I need
to do something so
that I can move
mircea_popescu: douchebag, it helps immensely
to have a pile of money lying about. you never know what you have
to pay for ; and you don't want
to have
to
take a job.

tell you what : do
trinque's
thing ;
then do
the ssh/ssl
thing ;
then we can
talk about you running
this
thing exactly like pizarro is run, why
the hell not.
mircea_popescu: the correct approach is
to a) build yourself a nest egg and b) start up.
douchebag: Hell, I would even be more willing
to get paid less as long as I knew it wasn't going
to be
the same shit, everyday, with no signs of ever improving
douchebag: I don't work well with
these
type of people
douchebag: Everyone at
this job just works
there because
they know
that it will never require more out of
them but
to run an installer and configure
this specific software for
the customer.
douchebag: I'm at
the point right now, where I feel like if someone offered me $700/week
to do any InfoSec work
that I'm qualified
to do - I would quit
this job and
take it in
two seconds flat.
mircea_popescu: hey, looky, i'm not saying you can't do better for yourself with a few simple
tweaks, without requiring revolutionary, massive changes.
douchebag: It's really easy
to
think I need a job change, when I made more in 30 minutes of bug bounty hunting last week
than I do in
three weeks from my current job after
tax
douchebag: Not
to mention, I'm only making $35k/yr and I work 60 hours a week
☟︎ douchebag: Well, I've spoken
to management about
this and
they basically
told me
that
they aren't willing
to do anything
to actually help
the customers and just want
to sell our service
mircea_popescu: but i also do not see anything fundamentally wrong with you holding
this view until changed a few hookers.
mircea_popescu: specifically
that your expectation
that
the solution
to
the " it doesn't require any critical
thinking, and in fact is discourages it" problem being "change
the job" is about as naive as
thinking
the solution
to "there's no deeper connection" is "change hooker".
douchebag: mircea_popescu: Just curious, what problems do you see in my
train of
thought in regards
to an InfoSec career?
a111: Logged on 2018-05-22 23:09 douchebag: I just want
to have a job
that I can enjoy doing.
The reason I don't enjoy my current job is because it doesn't require any critical
thinking, and in fact is discourages it. I would have a great
time hacking companies and
telling
them how
to fix
their security.
douchebag: For fucks sake, I know a 17 year old who has made $70k
this year alone

the most part
they're all well off

a111: Logged on 2018-05-22 22:41 diana_coman: douchebag, from here it really looks like your end goal is really "that
the world finally finds my hobby extremely useful and
terribly important
to
the point
that it ALSO becomes very meaningful"
a111: Logged on 2018-05-22 23:16 douchebag: Doesn't everyone want

that?
mircea_popescu: t
the polar opposite of dealing with kids, you are
terrifyingly bad.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: asciilifeform,
the problem with you isdn't
that you lack useful experience, but
that you lack any apparent clue in how
to communicate it effectually. when dealing with people who are both a) unsurprised and b) well structured,
they can sometimes, if within
the effort cap
they're willing
to expend, break up
the content out of its very unfortunate prison of form. but otherwise,
the communication fails
to occur, and especially a
phf: man spent his old age lending his presence
to all kinds of experimental projects, all of which a remembered only
through "burroughs once stopped by our studio"
phf:
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-05-22#1816718 << hah, i originally watched it for
the same reason, and
the only
thing i even remember is burroughs sitting in
the chair, and spitting
the "narcotics" prediction in his famous squeaky voice
☝︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: anyway, fwiw,
the guy did criminal life correctly. extensive research, and follow-up calls,
to selecte & educate
the victims of previous rape, strict avoidance of
the low-ante
trap,
there's entirely no flaw in
there.
mircea_popescu: there's a school in
the modern phrenology
that calls itself "physchology" relating high
testosterone with aggressive behaviour and larger penii.
mircea_popescu: not you dood.
this "golden state killer" with
the dna evidence.
mircea_popescu: funny
thing,
this dude, who had more sex
than ~anyone in california (50+ rapes, srsly ? 1 in 1000 males or less do 50 different girls over
their lifetime) nevertheless had a small penis.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, i see
that even here.
these people LOVE
to work.\
douchebag: Well, I just don't see why it's a bad
thing
to want
to do something I enjoy and be good at it.
mircea_popescu: "What would i do
then ?!" fuck me, i dunno, break down and cry, really ?!
douchebag: Fix
the next companies security,
there will always be someone
that secures
their shit.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, you picture, for
the sake of argument,
that anyone already knew, so was no further need of writing
trilema.
douchebag: I'd also like
to publish writeups about my research and be recognized as someone who actually knows what
the hell
they're doing.
douchebag: I just want
to have a job
that I can enjoy doing.
The reason I don't enjoy my current job is because it doesn't require any critical
thinking, and in fact is discourages it. I would have a great
time hacking companies and

☟︎ mircea_popescu: he means a job
that 1. provides him with
the physical necessities (physical dominance) and 2. with
time-security (ie, not
that he's fed now but
that he can feed himself, permanently) and 3. with recognition (ie,
that nubile women notice he got 1 and 2 and flock
to him).
mircea_popescu: what
they call "fulfilling job" is "item satisfying layers 1-3 on mp's restatement of maslow pyramid"
a111: Logged on 2018-05-22 22:32 douchebag: I want
to work a fulfilling job where I know
that I am actually providing a good service and giving customers a high quality security audit as well as high quality security products
mircea_popescu: but in point of fact
the sort of freedom you buy is sold
to you by clinton.
mircea_popescu: there's all sorts of pulp/sf in
this vein, "buying memories", whatever.
mircea_popescu: the "buy freedom"
thing is an unrelated consideration. no one has
to my knowledge yet manage
to bottle freedom ; so necessarily
those pursuing it in
the walmart shelvery are deluding
themselves.
mircea_popescu: nevertheless,
this applies
to a few
thousands ; 250k
takes you into
top bracket anyway.
mircea_popescu: due
to how
the imperial
tax regime works, a gift of a few %s of your current income may end up a net negative if it bumps your bracket, so you have
the choice of either paying 15% of 100% or else 22% of 106%,
the latter is worse even if 106% is more.
