asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: as discussed prev., if latech won't 'amicable' yer gonna need 1 anyway. that, or parachute.

asciilifeform: diana_coman: i'ma jump with a parachute made of garbage bags before writing www-facing proggy in c, but maybe that's just me..

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: if martians were to parachute down a crate of clean cpu, turns out retargeting , baking linux, etc. takes weeks, not yrs. but martians prolly won't.

asciilifeform: new elite grows always either from arse or from foreign conquest, from where else, martians aint about to parachute one in

asciilifeform: and incidentally the cards run fine without'em, it's a 'parachute' component

asciilifeform: ( if one is ready to jump with the parachute, and switch off boundary tests, that gives you another 2x )

a111: Logged on 2017-10-18 17:54 asciilifeform: ( 'stierlitz walked on the streets of berlin. mueller recognized that he was a soviet spy, but not because of the ppsh machinepistol clumsily slung across his shoulder, and not because of the parachute he dragged behind him, but because of the maker tag on his waistcoat, 'bolshevikess', which in typical russian slopiness had not been torn off.'

asciilifeform: this stuff didn't take ~2y because vodka, but because actually tricky to lay out in the form where user can 'this is my parachute, i packed it'

asciilifeform: 'the man who kills you comes on bus, not on parachute' or how did it go.

asciilifeform: ( i considered lispism, rejected for the given application strictly on account of moving-parts-count , 'p' gotta have parachute-level simplicity )

mircea_popescu: note tho that i am NOT going to enforce any kind of responsibility for vtrons. the item says "MAKE YOUR OWN!!! vtron" for a fucking reason, and this is that reason -- if you use another man's parachute package better not be surprised by the fact he likes to keep girl undies there.

asciilifeform: will emphasize, nobody should sign unless fully ready to say ' i know for a fact that this piece works, would jump with the parachute '

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform : "Lamport Parachute (a crypto identity bootstrap solution)"

BingoBoingo: "Airport" down the road even claims to host world "powered parachute" thing

asciilifeform: but when it begins to fall apart -- will be 'too late to invent parachute'.

a111: Logged on 2017-10-22 22:03 asciilifeform: erlehmann also wrote in re that lamport parachute is neat because can be fired using only paper. which is indeed tru, and quite neat in situation that calls for parachuting.

asciilifeform: and understand it the way a man packing a parachute understands.

asciilifeform: gabriel_laddel_p: how did it come about... misadventure with parachute?

mircea_popescu: the decline has nothing to do with that. uk has been on a decline path since indeed, 1800s, and will continue to decline. and because their women are ugly, there's no italian parachute under their ass either. wales is a fine example of where england ends up.

mircea_popescu was never worried about the "parachute" "sikrit agents". the only ones who were ever dangerous were the bus riding sort.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: you forgot 1st step : 'put out your parachute, cut straps, roll up'

BingoBoingo: And if it exceeds parachute's weight limit, minimal pain should you abandon it.

pete_dushenski: if only asciilifeform had bet on eth (against mp) instead of lee sedol, he could probably afford parachute. 2.5btc was it ?

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: temper the excitement, it's a parachute, not a plane

asciilifeform: mod6: the parachute isn't risk-free, if you hid it somewhere where enemy may turn it up, it can be worse than useless

asciilifeform: now whether the thing has its shotgun shell, or how old is the parachute silk, who even knows

trinque: I don't think I'd ever fly something small that didn't have one of those ballistic parachute things

PeterL: http://wotpaste.cascadianhacker.com/pastes/6evj2/?raw=true << lamport.py , a python port of asciilifeform's lamport-parachute scripts

PeterL: so I am working on porting the parachute scripts to python, does this look better as multiple or single line? http://wotpaste.cascadianhacker.com/pastes/z1jyt/?raw=true

BingoBoingo: And by better I mean San Pedro cactus so they trip balls and naturally make parachute instead of cocoon

BingoBoingo: Not cross stitched. Needle point is for directing the silk worms as they spin parachute.

asciilifeform: phf: it is not imho important to optimize parachute for speed. lamportron per se is nearly the ultimate waste of cpu and space in crypto world ...

phf: http://paste.lisp.org/display/327488 lamport parachute PoC in common lisp (it has soft dependency on ironclad for sha256, but otherwise follows the design in that own function can be substituted)

a111: Logged on 2016-09-30 19:05 PeterL: so I was playing with the lamport-parachute scripts, and if I run any of them without any arguments it should just print "usage: ...", right? Instead it is closing the terminal window I ran it in?

pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: bravo on the parachute btw. looking forward to more publishings that 'everyone knows already' but really doesn't and that are 'incredibly obvious to alert reader' but really aren't.

asciilifeform: current thread is re parachute specifically against catastrophe that would burn down rsa, c-s, similar.

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: i have a little bit of custom hardware for making this bearable, but this 'parachute' is not yet deployed in the field.

ben_vulpes: eh, not really * monkey. more paratroopers to parachute into whatever and take arbitrary pillboxen.

asciilifeform: (fella who held a plane for ransom in '71, and jumped from parachute)

mircea_popescu: sort-of like alf's dream, can parachute her with no resources on island, will be fine.

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-01#1494280 << dunno about other folx but i have a parachute packed for this. ☝︎

asciilifeform: and you can feel entirely confident jumping with the parachute.

asciilifeform: trinque: good in theory, but be sure to invent parachute ~before~ thrown from window

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: negative to all 3. again, i only ~suspect~. when i pull the parachute cord, i also do not ~know~ that it will open.

asciilifeform: this, i must add, is not an official s.nsa project of any kind. but it is there on my desk with a dozen other items of 'parachute' variety

assbot: 120 results for 'parachute' : http://s.b-a.link/?q=parachute

ben_vulpes: perhaps though i would jump out of a plane with a mispacked parachute?

asciilifeform: no parachute, just a helpful fella telling you how many metres until your splat.

punkman: "Roberta Mancino is an Italian skydiver, BASE jumper, wingsuit flyer and international model. She has participated in more than 7,000 skydives and won several awards and world records. She has gone on four skydives while completely naked, and on five occasions her parachute did not open in mid-jump."

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: talisman of the parachute. it's old, rat-eaten, and has ДОСААФ 1966 printed on it, but ~it's the one you're wearing~ while falling. and you can try to make a new one out of your underwear before you splat, or use that one.

pete_dushenski: don't wait until you're falling from plane to build parachute ?

ascii_field: because they get 'gold parachute' and yacht, while engineer works 100 hr/wk and dies of coronary at 39

ascii_field: shinohai: this is like comparing jumping from plane with and without parachute.

ascii_field: mircea_popescu designs a parachute, and reasons using 'all' and 'every' ?
