mircea_popescu: i am saying that a) it cannot happen and b) this irrespective of what you know or don't know.
BingoBoingo: !t h cog
mircea_popescu: in exactly the same way, it's not your job to "verify" that the miners don't 51%
BingoBoingo: It's also not absurd to imagine cex.io doesn't have any hardware
mircea_popescu: (this incidentally is one major point proponents of alternative coins don't realise. one of the most important permanence factors in a coin is just how well distributed the coinbase is. this is not something later coins will readilyt achieve, bitcoin achieved by accident
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: They were blatant, but the weren't quite as refined in their Haxxed, coins are gone as Cryptostocks/Vircurex was where some separation was imagined
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo they never were anything but blatant about it, weren't they ?
mircea_popescu: i don't own power plants either ;/
mircea_popescu: this is the typical way imagined fortunes work, and it belies their virtuality. the guy wasn't actually invested, but merely pretended to be invested.
mircea_popescu: but the rich guy somehow hadn't lost anything, and immediately bought just as much of Y thing.
moiety: didn't think so
BingoBoingo: Why forums can't work: "Since 1998, the movement founded by Hugo Chávez has won more than a dozen presidential, parliamentary and local elections through an electoral process that former American President Jimmy Carter has called “the best in the world.” Recently, the United Socialist Party received an overwhelming mandate in mayoral elections in December 2013, winning 255 out of 337 municipalities."
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo and didn't even have to buy the lsd...
BingoBoingo: This morning's thing that couldn't quite keep it together long enough to make it here intact
mircea_popescu: oh that far up north ? didn't know.
bounce: it doesn't say they're giving it away. looks like yahoo was a bit late in picking up this press release.
gribble: Error: You haven't asked me a command; perhaps you want to see someone else's more. To do so, call this command with that person's nick.
davout: !t m x.eur
antephialtic: I mean if we think the NSA is some all knowing crypto monster, what's to say they can't break SHA-256? They are the ones that invented it, after all
BingoBoingo: I can't answer for him, but the use cases seem completely different
cads: it's hard to leverage that much ABS, and you certainly can't do it in that rapid side to side motion enjoyed by the objet tech
punkman: Polyjet tech does that array of "pores" thing, but you can't control viscous material like ABS in it
cads: if the plastic isn't cooked you just bolt on another orifice plate and fire it back up
cads: I didn't know we were also getting our material 6 times cheaper
punkman: cads, there's an expensive one at the local uni, but material is expensive and they don't let people use it often
cads: punkman: I don't remember if I answered your earlier question - thanks for the links
cazalla: heh it's not that i hate em but they talk about things that don't interest me
cazalla: i don't know how her husband explained to his parents he was changing his surname to hers
cazalla: just a shame we don't have guns to hold down the fort here in australia
cazalla: she wanted him to have my surname, doesn't give 2 shits about the career she left behind and wants to remain a mum, thinks bubs does best with mum + dad around instead of single parent families being no different
joecool: messes don't cry
cazalla: so i cook and clean but she's also breastfeeding so i don't mind so much, that's a job on it's own
cazalla: it's not so much that she can't clean by my mother was OCD about cleaning so my wife will never be up to par
joecool: though tbh i am polar opposite to gf, i can't eat wheat and she cooks bread all the time, i just eat a lot of breakfast food all the time
cazalla: my wife can't cook or clean :\
cads: and doesn't care if I eat meat
cazalla: joecool: i don't even care so much now that my son has my surname, that was really the only reason why i would've pushed for her to take my surname to begin with
cads: I wouldn't ever want to inflict my last name upon a girl
joecool: cazalla: first year or so my gf thought she'd want to keep her last name, decided she doesn't care now
joecool: "yeah sry i don't want to be mrs. cockgobbler, i hope you understand"
cazalla: We discussed it before but she doesn't want to change her surname so I told her I'm not asking then
cazalla: I don't do that, I just hop into bed and let the wife deal with the crying in the evening
cads: I dunno, regrets, man, don't discount them
cads: I wouldn't wanna drunk holding my kid, even if that drunk was me :P
cazalla: i wasn't having a go at you
cazalla: but i don't know if he reads it so he might assume i am ignoring him
cazalla: ah, he's not here.. who doesn't use a bouncer?
KRS-One: They didn't shave in the 70's..our poor parents had sub par pron indeed. We have it so much better these days.
moiety: cazalla: that's one thing that can be said for our nessie, she doesn't ever move lol

BingoBoingo: moiety: I don't
moiety: I didn't know you had a cat BingoBoingo! :P
moiety: asciilifeform: i didn't know they had a name for this either http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phantom_cat [Alien Big Cats]
bounce: the important stuff is all on wire that that doesn't seem to suffer
bounce: can't do that in this situation though. I suppose I could at least separate out ze wifi with an extra box.
mike_c: no reason cardano wouldn't be susceptible to that is there?
bounce: paleologoi doesn't light a bulb nor produces comprehensible search results. colour me uninformed.
bounce: they did do a lot of good work, but they certainly weren't the only ones
mircea_popescu: waffe doesn't mean waffle lmao
mircea_popescu: well i wasn't talking of you strictly :[
cads: I can't imagine we didn't enjoy the exact same treatment
cads: we didn't see leaks from the operations and strategy department
mircea_popescu: i can't conveniently search for the shit, no good kbd
mircea_popescu: (who aren't likely to get the reference or have read the guy's work)
bounce: didn't they run their own usd presses?
mike_c: north korea isn't good at anything except extorting money from the us.
mircea_popescu: you know, brain surgeon ain't likely to work for the cockroach infested hospital. because he prefers working with people he respects,
mircea_popescu: on the actual ground, the us has serious problems hiring people who don't spend most of their time wondering if "deep down" theyt're really women or not.
mircea_popescu: anyway : meanwhile things have deteriorated, and the us "spyshop" doesn't even count. it's in there in the 3rld world, between congo and indonesia or something
cads: everyone knows they're recording the phone calls, now everyone believes that they can only keep the phone calls for a month, that the program to do it is called MYSTIC, and that it hasn't been used against the US
cads: mircea_popescu: also I know you don't like schneier, but for a while he had his "NSA Exploit of the day" that was a near daily analysis of a new exploit from his researches of the leaked documents - here he apparently concludes that with basically saying, I've shown you all these exploits. Now we need to come up with ways to defend against them because not only the NSA will use them, but also criminals and other countries
mircea_popescu: cads snowden was a contractor. he didn't have access to the strategic bundle.
cads: that's highly likely, and it would be nice if someone acknowledged the documents snowden didn't manage to get
Duffer1: strategies to counter congress likely weren't as available as the rest of snowden's material
cads: after building the case that they're fucking everyone, he would have been like "but this. This is what they really don't want you to see"
cads: but more likely those documents simply didn't make it into the package snowden has revealed
cads: maybe the agency doesn't know itself well enough to imagine it has _any_ fears
bounce: that with tweets maxing at 160 chars and irc messages at a little more, wouldn't it make sense for ozbot to special-case twitter.com/.../status/... and include the actual tweet?
cads: "Malware can silently write data to a USB stick, but it can't spin the CD-R up to 1000 rpm without your noticing. "
cads: I don't like that he suggests a usb key, because usb keys have been penetrated before
moiety: 22:47 <mircea_popescu> and secretaries you don't seduce. they're always busy at work. << a good secretary can't be seduced. this is true. however, also means loyalty.
bounce: depends. if you do an automated transcription of ethernet frames to punch tape and back again, you don't really have an air gap. just like putting a wireless hop in the network to have an "air gap" doesn't really work.
thestringpuller: I'm more asking "how do I learn to build a house" don't say "stay in schoo"
cads: I'd be known as that mathematician that hasn't done any actual math, but has a harem of booth babes and has pushed forward the field into the next millenium.
mircea_popescu: that's because you equally don't have a clue :)
cads: nice article, doesn't surprise me
mircea_popescu: and secretaries you don't seduce. they're always busy at work.
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves i didn't phonecall. i inperson called.

CheckDavid: She was talking with this single woman who couldn't find a partner
CheckDavid: I didn't know that term that's all
mircea_popescu: weren't these fuckwits all over everyone's case all through the 90s about how they're supposed to deflate ? argentina, brazil, asia, the works ?
mircea_popescu: kickback culture is about as ingrained as kleenexing in the us, i just can't imagine any context in which it'd have been omitted.
