mircea_popescu: "Can the government use civil forfeiture to take your money when you have done nothing wrong—and then pocket the proceeds? The IRS thinks so."

mircea_popescu: lol

mircea_popescu: pankkake have you tried the old ice water remedy ?

mircea_popescu: http://trilema.com/2013/why-you-need-bitcoin-simply-put/

mircea_popescu: there shall be no further tits

mircea_popescu: i used to buy them on the silk road. now that the feds have disrupted silkroad, my supply of tits is gone.

mircea_popescu: must press tits against screen to sign tx

mircea_popescu: dexX7 it's really very badly written, nonsensical goop.

mircea_popescu: i can't imagine schneider actually penned that. he must have sent sometyhing that got "edited for clarity"

mircea_popescu: i am saying that numerous concepts are employed in a way which belies unfamiliarity with the field, and the general structuring of the narrative is such that you suspect the author does not have a birds eye view of the topic.

mircea_popescu: neither of those goes with the alleged author, unless he was very very drunk at the time.

mircea_popescu: but anyway, i guess now i have to go into details as otherwise this is all useless nonsense. brb.

mircea_popescu: ;;later tell dexx7 http://trilema.com/2013/dear-guardian-stop-being-retarded/

mircea_popescu: it's just evil.

mircea_popescu: "Alexander further detailed that the metadata is collected under Executive Order 12333 from 2009."

mircea_popescu: fuckwit. 12333 was signed in like the 80s

mircea_popescu: we're in the mid 13k's by now.

mircea_popescu: something like that yeah

mircea_popescu: lol

mircea_popescu: so basically the forum has moved to reddit ?

mircea_popescu: great,

mircea_popescu: http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2013/10/05/Feds-Try-to-Close-the-OCEAN-Because-of-Shutdown

mircea_popescu: i was thinking, the correct thing to do for a state governor is to simply pass a bill ordering all federal employees arested

mircea_popescu: take them to a camp somewherwe

mircea_popescu: and that's that.

mircea_popescu: for instance the arizona people could do it, after the entire "close grand canion" bs.

mircea_popescu: basically obama's horde is trying to show to congress that they can do absolutely anything and the sheeple will just take it.

mircea_popescu: that's the message, "you are alone".

mircea_popescu: "we can grab any power we want. fuck you."

mircea_popescu: you're very confused.

mircea_popescu: unrelatedly : nosuchlabs.com

mircea_popescu: all that's still needed is a logo and away we go!!1eleven

mircea_popescu: apps ? lol

mircea_popescu: thestringpuller WHEREAS, the individuals named have recently launched and intend to operate for the foreseeable future an unregistered corporation by the name "No Such lAbs" (NSA) dedicated to the production and marketing of a series of strong, fully integrated cryptography products, ensuring customers absolute immunity from third party attempts to access their data or communications ;

mircea_popescu: other than that, it ipos

mircea_popescu: http://thecable.foreignpolicy.com/posts/2013/10/04/not_even_the_nsa_can_crack_the_state_departments_online_anonymity_tool

mircea_popescu: look at that shit.

mircea_popescu: basically every contact in the "press" is being herded to defend this holy grail of "tor is actually safe"

mircea_popescu: it's possible, but not likely. what happened is that one set of bureaucrats made tor at great expense, and another set used it in a disaster-of-commons way

mircea_popescu: now the former are trying to fix their broken china.

mircea_popescu: sort of like the bureaucratic scenario.

mircea_popescu: this is why big governments can't have nice things, irrespective of what uyou might have heard.

mircea_popescu: so then "by becoming small government"

mircea_popescu: why yes, yes they do. that's the fucking argument.

mircea_popescu: dingledine ?

mircea_popescu: seriously ?

mircea_popescu: he needs to meet my friend Dinah.

mircea_popescu: wait wut ?

mircea_popescu: i don't know pot ever wasn't legal.

mircea_popescu: but anyway, for everyone's lolfactor : ion tiriac is a rich romanian banker guy. his son is a retard.

mircea_popescu: coupla years back he was caught with ~3kgs of uncut cocaine in his car, and had his license suspended

mircea_popescu: i guess it's a good thing he didn't try to sell it on silkroad.

mircea_popescu: it'd have taken all of six months and landed him in jail for 800 years on account of it being bought by a dozen different undercover agents working for five or six different agencies.

mircea_popescu: no ?

mircea_popescu: well, it's a little anecdote i just recounted.

mircea_popescu: i don't think this problem is avoidable

mircea_popescu: jesuis check this shit out

mircea_popescu: http://www.azd.uscourts.gov/sites/default/files/documents/top%2010%20local%20rule%20violations.pdf

mircea_popescu: that loads up a document G:/shared/azdwebpage/blabla

mircea_popescu: basically, a box running windows 95 ?

mircea_popescu: holy shit, it's a .wpd

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform what i meant was, as long as you have a port open, it's open for nmap too.

mircea_popescu: in retrospect is not what you meant.

mircea_popescu: right.

mircea_popescu: bwahaha

mircea_popescu: i can't believe the girl's thing caught.

mircea_popescu: unrelatedly, has anyone ever looked into ubuntu packaging ?

mircea_popescu: ubuntu-standard depends on... wget.

mircea_popescu: sure. but there's no need to make that a dependency.

mircea_popescu: it will run just fine w/o wget, and w/o avahi, and without jesus fucking christ.

mircea_popescu: ubuntu is windows.

mircea_popescu: no, imo ity's the best example.

mircea_popescu: there is no sane reason to require wget for -standard.

mircea_popescu: you don't have wget, you can't use internet.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform still not a reason to require it.

mircea_popescu: that's another thing

mircea_popescu: there's no reason for -standard to depend on the updater being present.

mircea_popescu: people go fucking crazy over "having a car requires you having insurance"

mircea_popescu: then go around putting retarded dependencies in software.

mircea_popescu: the ridiculous thing is, they have the concept of "recommended". not like it's either depend or nothing.

mircea_popescu: two snatches in a bar. one says to the other

mircea_popescu: hey... we're being watched.

mircea_popescu: redditors really want to matter.

mircea_popescu: "Who else knows about your subversive projects?" herp.

mircea_popescu: in its 10 year history, nothing subversive came out of reddit.

mircea_popescu: in the remainder 5ish years of lifetime it still has, nothing subversive will come out of it.

mircea_popescu: i think so. early 2000ish, wasn;'t it ?

mircea_popescu: spent their time being a shitty network back when everyone used stumbleupon and digg,

mircea_popescu: then digg sold out and went apeshit

mircea_popescu: so now the contingent of highschoolers are telling each other stories about how cool they are on reddit.

mircea_popescu: well to their credit the 4chaners succeed a lot better than the redditards.

mircea_popescu: usg generally is a hopeless endeavour.

mircea_popescu: ugc*

mircea_popescu: turns out there's not an army of competent and dedicated people just waiting for the chance to make nice things for free.

mircea_popescu: who knew, seriously. and how racist, chauvinist and everything that is.

mircea_popescu: jurov not much.

mircea_popescu: well, domain.

mircea_popescu: jurov nope.

mircea_popescu: thestringpuller notrly.

mircea_popescu: well yeah, same place

mircea_popescu: http://trilema.com/2013/eulora-august-update/

mircea_popescu: or did you mean the precompiled ?

mircea_popescu: http://minigame.bz/eulora/binaries/ is binaries.

mircea_popescu: server may be down if they're dicking with it tho, so might have to retry later.

mircea_popescu: anyway, i think we have a s.nsa logo

mircea_popescu: anyone here a logo artist ?

mircea_popescu: can't detect if serious

mircea_popescu: or ima end up with angry guy face all over my logo

mircea_popescu: k

mircea_popescu: i was thinking eagle-holding-cox

mircea_popescu: but meh.

mircea_popescu: meh.

mircea_popescu: ;;google trilema

mircea_popescu: ha!

mircea_popescu: suck it wikipedia.

mircea_popescu: who cares about trilemma

mircea_popescu: lol how does one send .39 btc and an email to addy ?

mircea_popescu: yeah.

mircea_popescu: did you run out of pixels or what happened to that a ?

mircea_popescu: wha'd tha be

mircea_popescu: stop teaching him thingas

mircea_popescu: holy shit my temporal lobe fell off

mircea_popescu: that's like the most illegible logo in the history of grafitti.

mircea_popescu: why not just write the letters on top of each other and bne done with it

mircea_popescu: trilema has a comic font ?

mircea_popescu: ahaha

mircea_popescu: ;)

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform lol tjhat's happening.

mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves you don't understand the free market man.

mircea_popescu: the free market of ideas.

mircea_popescu: lmao that;s some urlizing right there

mircea_popescu: he's never coming out either way.

mircea_popescu: meanwhile, http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2380327/Baby-bird-attempts-swallow-carers-thumb-feed-falling-nest.html

mircea_popescu: lmao

mircea_popescu: pankkake you don't understand reddit. ask it anything, it'll say the same thing : "i want sum gimme"

mircea_popescu: they could pay to blow hookers...

mircea_popescu: blastbob1 blasts right in lol

mircea_popescu: i third the motion.

mircea_popescu: maybe they could make a tor tor

mircea_popescu: so like, everyone's on tor right ?

mircea_popescu: so you can have within tor this plaintext protocol which nobody can identify

mircea_popescu: so you know that someone on tor isn't using tor

mircea_popescu: but you can't find out who

mircea_popescu: nope.

mircea_popescu: that's what ssl pretends to do.

mircea_popescu: not exactly and not just. think about it : gpg requires that i have your public key to send you stuff

mircea_popescu: and you have mine to reply.

mircea_popescu: ssl only requires you have the server's public key. it's thus half a protocol.

mircea_popescu: more importantly, using pgp-style tools you have a dedicated signature identification step. you somehow acquire my signature. such as, from me.

mircea_popescu: in ssl, you acquire it on the basis that a third party says its ok, much like the dns system.

mircea_popescu: the dns system is notoriously insecure, as proven by all the cache poisoning attacks etc.

mircea_popescu: recently google had its domains hijacked and there was jack shit it could do. for like days.

mircea_popescu: in opposition to this, something like scp over keybased ssh would be secure, in the sense you can't read messages.

mircea_popescu: it would still not be anyonymous, which is in general a much harder problem than cryptography. which is why bitcoin is secure but not anonymous, and why tor fails to deliver on anonymity etc.
