BingoBoingo: What about Guar Dings.
decimation: lol from the comments: "You obviously hate poor people, the elderly, children, minorities - the list likely goes on and on. Inflation has been at record low levels for many years now, so your scare tactics go nowhere. Bitcoins only allow the greedy rich to evade paying their FAIR SHARE in taxes and the like, and their evil transactions are hidden from those who are tasked with protecting the common folk, like the honorable senator
decimation: from the article. Progress will not be impeded by the haters."

BingoBoingo: decimation: My favorite part is where nothing the Senator says supports the Author's claim in the way he thinks
decimation: ;;later tell ben_vulpes re: explain "usg has generally used the power of printed dollars to make it such that most people don't pay taxes" << Well, I was thinking of the very straightforward sense in which the majority of humans on us territory receive more dollars from usg than give to usg.
gribble: The operation succeeded.
decimation: note that these 'payments' are mostly not direct transfers (checks from the treasury). They are mostly things like implicit guarantee to banks that usg will 'force solvency', health 'insurance' (free health care), and 'free' roads.
decimation: One might protest: but they pay taxes too! Except - the eitc rebates much of the tax.
decimation: BingoBoingo: yeah the way I read the letter it's pretty clear that the writer flipped the 'crazy bit'
BingoBoingo: decimation: Either that or the lazy bit...

assbot: AR-15 rifle stolen from St. Louis County police car torched by rioters in Ferguson : News ... ( http://bit.ly/1rwg4oK )
decimation: BingoBoingo: I like the story about the black folk who protect the white-owned gas station
BingoBoingo: decimation: I thought that story was a gun store, not a gas station
decimation: "One exception - a Conoco gas station and convenience store."
BingoBoingo: Ah, Story
BingoBoingo: 's more boring than I thought
decimation: one wonders why more folks in Ferguson don't have a similar attitude - if for no other reason than the "don't shit where you eat" principle
mircea_popescu: ahh the weather here is so pleasant
decimation: in general, franchise businesses avoid setting up shop in us ghettos for exactly this reason
BingoBoingo: decimation: Well you have to consider North St Louis COunty ghettos aren't THAT compartamentalized. Most people looting weren't hitting where they eat

mircea_popescu: Bruce Fenton @brucefenton · 7h7 hours ago @kenhess Do I own Bitcoin? I see your research into me is about as weak as your article.
mircea_popescu: Ken Hess @kenhess · 7h7 hours ago @brucefenton I don't bother researching rancid Twitterati. And I don't care what you believe that you are. Again, do you own any Bitcoin?
mircea_popescu: ahem. how come all poor research is always defended in the same manner,
mircea_popescu: and with the same mannerisms ?
mircea_popescu: relatedly, how would one distinguish ken from tim ?

assbot: Valiant prince MP explores the mother of all echo chambers. A saga of our times. pe Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu. ... ( http://bit.ly/1rwhP5d )
mircea_popescu: what else did you think the something awful interest in bitcoin is and has been powered by, all these years.
mircea_popescu: roughly speaking, the progre's relation to bitcoin is fat ugly chick in your class that keeps calling you up and passing you notes in class, dozens of times a day. the content is all about how "women like to be treated" and "what makes a good man", but...
decimation: mircea_popescu: the reaction to bitcoin (by non-bitcoin holders) seems to fall into two camps: 1 - bitcoin sucks because I don't have any or 2. bitcoin sucks so I need to steal some
mircea_popescu: the hope is that you may give a shit.
mod6: haha
decimation: mircea_popescu: yeah that sums it up nicely
mircea_popescu: <decimation> mircea_popescu: "all through 2015 we will be seeing a shitton of 50-somethings with so-so credentrials going all weirdo on bitcoin." << no they just realize that bitcoin == no free money for 'retirement' << the problem there is that they actually DID work, and should have some money. problem is, in typical tardstalk fashion, they got scammed and having nothing left, are now siding with the scammer.
BingoBoingo: decimation: Number 1 tends to be incredibly popular amongst people who have other things
decimation: BingoBoingo: yeah pretty much as mircea just outlined
Vexual: so 10 and twenties have more to worry about?
decimation: "I got scammed so we are gonna scam you"
mircea_popescu: decimation just look at all the glbse fanbois who TO THIS DAY prefer to derp instead of admitting that mpoe-pr was right and they were stupid.
Vexual: surely the scamming wont continue forever, due to satoshi being a wizard
BingoBoingo: Nah, 2 seems more popular amongst people who never had anything except through scams of their own
mircea_popescu: then there was a period of ken slaugther powered nonsense, where the losers made threads about how mpex is teh scientology.
mircea_popescu: and on it will go, for as long as there's something standing the zombies will try to crowd it out while pretending it ain't standing.
BingoBoingo: I think the Ken SLaughter nonsense crowd moved on to GAW apologias, almost to a person
mircea_popescu: the "i want to believe" crowd.
mircea_popescu: the only spawn of democracy, really. they fit with the electoral cycle really well. today, derp goes "i shall make money out of cockroaches, just have to have a pile large enough". they spend a year piling up cockroaches. no money appears, but just in time for...
mircea_popescu: 4 years from now, "different" derp, "i will make money out of frogs"
mircea_popescu: they collect frogs for a while... whatever, if it works free money and if itdoesn't at least it wasn't work.
mircea_popescu: this can keep on for as long as how did it go "evil people refuse to pay their fair share".
decimation: When I read something like that I think of that little rat Marat
mircea_popescu: fuck em, who cares. they can starve chanting whatever they please to chant.
mircea_popescu: "fair share" or "hail mary", same difference.
decimation: at least "hail mary" doesn't generally end with "let's break out dr. guillotine"
mircea_popescu: ;;google "My law firm represents GAW Miners, LLC"

decimation: cazalla: but he had no idea about the domain or its owner when he paid $A27000 for it
cazalla: plus i spoke to the guy who owned it last year and knew the ABN was expired then, could've dobbed him in and bid on it myself at the time but not something i'd do but super common in .com.au land
cazalla: decimation, it went to the drops, you don't need to know anything about previous owner
mats_cd03: decimation: i don't really care tbh. im armed, and god help anyone who thinks they're a better shot. i know how to kill a four man team breaching my home.
decimation: cazalla: I guess my point is that one might be a little curious before bidding such a sum
cazalla: decimation, i don't really follow
ben_vulpes: cazalla: this got you kicked from twitter?
mats_cd03: i sound like BB after he's had a few.
decimation: cazalla: maybe I'm daft, but in the link you just posted Tsvetnenko said: "“The domain in question was acquired with the possibility of being used for marketing purposes. Unfortunately it was discovered the domain has some serious issues not disclosed by the original vendor, which make it severely restricted in use if not valueless for any purchaser – I’m reserving my rights of recourse in that respect,"
cazalla: ben_vulpes, nah, "violent threats" did of which i didn't even make any
cazalla: decimation, yeah i guess you would say that if you didn't want to go to shareholders and say oh, i fucked up and lost this asset
decimation: so if you take him at his word, he apparently failed to notice the serious issues with the property
cazalla: decimation, the site redirected to localbitcoins forevarr
cazalla: maybe it was hijacked, who knows but you would still let something like that go for free instead of just fixing the issue?
decimation: which of course is much better (in his mind) than simply failing to update it
cazalla: because if people know you can't even secure a domain, pretty unlikely to then give you bitcoins in the wallet you're about to launch eh
decimation: hehe exactly
decimation: in either case, he isn't saying that he fucked up
ben_vulpes: "due diligence"
decimation: just that he fucked up in a slightly fancier way than you allege
decimation: I mean to say "he isn't saying that he didn't fuck up"
decimation: at any rate, I think this is a good sign, you are digging the right dirt
decimation: maybe you can run another story "Tsvetnenko admits to failure of due dilligence; has just discovered the principle of caveat emptor"
ben_vulpes: diligence
ben_vulpes: hate to pedant at you but that one gets up my nose decimation
cazalla: would be a short one
decimation: my damn spell check craps out
ben_vulpes: spell check?
decimation: hehe yeah, hunspell
cazalla: at the end of the day, no-one can disprove what he is now saying as auDA don't release the details of who made the complaint, sure it's possible he did this himself, highly unlikely
ben_vulpes: lol i rely on humspell
ben_vulpes: as in "a human spelled it"
ben_vulpes: :P
decimation: in my past I used to be good at spelling; then I used spell check and wrote code for a decade

kuzetsa: even firefox?
decimation: unfortunately firefox is kind of a defacto standard
kuzetsa: I had a bad experience with firefox a few years ago. some greasemonkey stuff was part of my workflow and broke severely several versions in a row
decimation: it leaks memory like crazy and is generally shit code
kuzetsa: performance issues and lack of backward compatibility made me swear off firefox

kakobrekla: Anduck why on earth would _I_ ddos ?
mircea_popescu: diametric guy's a kid in a basement. if it's going to be something it's going to be some sort of very cheap, high leverage, poor control something. syn, wordpress pignbacks, stuff like that.
mircea_popescu: he's not about to fill anyone's pipe.
Anduck: kakobrekla: indeed. why would someone dos some random people at irc
kakobrekla: and yet it happens!
diametric: mircea_popescu: yeah i figured, but the interesting part to me is that it only interrupts my connection to freenode. nothing else.
diametric: and thats what makes it suspicious to me
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla mebbe if you ignore it it goes away, and the room average iq jumps a coupla points.

diametric: well, mp proposed hashing webchat ips as a solution to prevent abuse.
diametric: but someone pointed out that all it would take is someone to reverse the hash.
Anduck: you can'
diametric: i lol'd hard.
Anduck: meh, enter too close
jurov: only if you hash it with secret salt
Anduck: !up Anducktesting
jurov: sha256(ip) alone can be bruteforced easily
diametric: of course
jurov: is freenode prone to accept such solution?
punkman: I remember seeing mibbit or whatever with such a solution
jurov: that ips are obfuscated, but stable
punkman: been a while though, maybe freenode changed policy?

ben_vulpes: ;;ping
gribble: pong
fluffypony: eugh, "reverse" the hash
fluffypony: someone shoot that person for being a moron
Anduck: well, damn
Anduck: if you hash the ip, it's trivial to get the ip. unless salt is used
fluffypony: it's trivial to brute-force or use rainbow tables
fluffypony: but that's not "reversing" it
Anduck: well, duh
fluffypony: besides, this is a trivial problem - all IRC servers in a network need to be in-sync (services etc.), so just sync up a table of IP -> random string key-value pairs
jurov: syncing 3e9 strings is trivial problem?
fluffypony: jurov: no more complex than keeping nickserv+chanserv+memoserv+operserv in sync
fluffypony: besides, this is why DHTs exist
jurov: oh you mean that for freenode replacement?
kakobrekla: everybodys cloaking is broked
kakobrekla: :\
jurov: i never had any
kakobrekla: (perhaps even mine, havent tested it)

diametric: so even cloaked I'm getting randomly booted off freenode. I think my disconnects are entirely coincidental and unrelated to any join ddos, since I can't find any evidence of the latter.
kakobrekla: not impossible
decimation: diametric: I don't see any join/leave logs from you in the past few minutes
decimation: asciilifeform: there is also an art to packing the keys on a keyboard to just the right density
diametric: decimation: happened about 30 minutes ago, i was afk until now, but i could see the bouncer informing me it was booted from freenode.
diametric: decimation: pretty much whats been happening for the last few days
decimation: diametric: ah yeah I see those, but your cloak is good from here
diametric: yeah, i don't think i was ever being ddos, i think its just a coincidence.
decimation: are you using port 7000/sasl?

diametric: the particular ipv6 freenode server i was connecting to I was getting like ~15% packet loss on. I picked another server from the round-robin AAAA records for chat.freenode.net, no packet loss now.
diametric: So the server running at 2610:150:4b0f::: is fucked up badly.
