ben_vulpes: http://bash.bitcoin-assets.com/?quote=264 << funny story re apple shit
assbot: #bitcoin-assets bash
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: everyone likes to laugh at apple. but there is no obvious alternative to some of their products.
asciilifeform: (other than 'stay in castle, don't use portable electronics at all')
ben_vulpes: an acquaintance of mine was recently derping on his girl's phone, as there was a hilarious loop where her old phone had 16G of stuff and was utterly full, bought a new phone with...16G of storage, connected it to her 'iCloud' account, and watched as the thing immediately filled up and bricked itself
ben_vulpes: DURING the hacker fix process for this (which ultimately entailed deleting the iCloud account in question), my acquaintance and sometime colleague was browsing through the lady's photos to find...
ben_vulpes: pictures of *his* cat
ben_vulpes: from *his* nexus 1
ben_vulpes: that had never been mailed anywhere
ben_vulpes: his hypotheses: she'd plugged his phone into her computer at some point and "sure whatevere"'d all his photos onto her computer, and thence to apple
asciilifeform: lol
asciilifeform: know how we like to laugh at our ancestors' hygiene ?
asciilifeform: well guess what.

Diablo-D3: [10:44:37] <ben_vulpes> an acquaintance of mine was recently derping on his girl's phone, as there was a hilarious loop where her old phone had 16G of stuff and was utterly full, bought a new phone with...16G of storage, connected it to her 'iCloud' account, and watched as the thing immediately filled up and bricked itself
Diablo-D3: that sounds wrong
ben_vulpes: well "immediately" per the local pipe throughput
Diablo-D3: even if you restore a backup from icloud, it doesn't restore your photos into your local photo storage
Diablo-D3: it keeps them in the icloud storage
Diablo-D3: you have to manually go into the photo app and tell it to copy selected photos to local
ben_vulpes: there is also a "sync my data" thinger for new phones.
ben_vulpes: you got upped for this?
Diablo-D3: ben_vulpes: yeah, but iphones are locked down
Diablo-D3: you can only use apple's shit
ben_vulpes: it's apple's thinger.
Diablo-D3 just had to rescue someone's fucked up ios8 upgrade on an iphone 5c
Diablo-D3: I went from having 0 experience with iphones to fixing them
Diablo-D3: I want to go back, tbh
Diablo-D3: they're infuriatingly complex
Diablo-D3: as much as I hate android, dear god its so much better
ben_vulpes: > 2 days experience, Diablo-D3's an iOS expert
asciilifeform: if you want a pocket-sized apparatus to read, say, email, you're more or less stuck choosing whether to live in 'singapore' (apple) or 'liberia' ('android')
ben_vulpes: you guys will dig this
Diablo-D3: ben_vulpes: I dunno, it was fucking bullshit
Diablo-D3: what fucked it up is all this icloud shit
Diablo-D3: and the fact you need 4.7gb of free storage on a 5c to upgrade to ios8
ben_vulpes: ...
Diablo-D3: and they sold 16gb phones
ben_vulpes: other amazing apple stuff
assbot: AMAZING COMPANY!
Diablo-D3: and theres only about 12.3gb of usable storage on said 16gb phone
ben_vulpes: the displays system preference gives one two radio buttons:
Diablo-D3: so you need 1/3rd of your ufcking phone
Diablo-D3: to upgrade
ben_vulpes: "best for displays"
Diablo-D3: to fix THEIR bugs
ben_vulpes: "scaled"
asciilifeform: Diablo-D3: well, to upgrade without a connected computer, yes
Diablo-D3: ben_vulpes: best for display just selects the correct scaled for retina
ben_vulpes: selecting "scaled" gives you 4 options
asciilifeform: Diablo-D3: it downloads a turd, needs space to decompress it
Diablo-D3: asciilifeform: no, tried through the itunes usb shit too
ben_vulpes: "larger text"
ben_vulpes: jesus Diablo-D3 let a guy tell a story ffs
ben_vulpes: "Best (Retina)"
Diablo-D3: asciilifeform: and it gets even better
ben_vulpes: an unnamed option (WTF)
ben_vulpes: and "More Space"
Diablo-D3: asciilifeform: the icloud storage was filled almost completely with an incomplete backup
Diablo-D3: asciilifeform: because the phone tried to backup to 5gb of storage
Diablo-D3: asciilifeform: and my neighbor just said icloud was broken and she never used it
Diablo-D3: it was broken because it was full with a backup that ios should have never tried making
Diablo-D3: asciilifeform: I mean, thats even the bigger fucking problem
Diablo-D3: apple ships phones with icloud backup automatically enabled
Diablo-D3: and only gives you 5gb of space
Diablo-D3: unless you pay for more
Diablo-D3: so, out of the box, your phone is broken
asciilifeform: lulzies.
Diablo-D3: asciilifeform: and itunes's UX is so insane that theres no way to backup the photos
Diablo-D3: asciilifeform: they expect you to use icloud for it independently of the make backup thing in itunes
Diablo-D3: asciilifeform: so I had to go and fucking copy them out of the DCIM folder on the phone
asciilifeform: yet can you picture a talking head, or newspaper, asking question 'should a new os always use more space?'
Diablo-D3: asciilifeform: so what I did do is
Diablo-D3: convince her to just fucking pay
Diablo-D3: for the $2/mo option
ben_vulpes: there is iPhoto. it copies photos from the i* pretty trivially.
ben_vulpes: no wait
ben_vulpes: just trivially
Diablo-D3: ben_vulpes: no
Diablo-D3: only if you're on osx
Diablo-D3: said victim was on windows
Diablo-D3: why she has an iphone? no clue
ben_vulpes: don't try to leave the cage.
decimation: imagine if ios/osx/windows had a new release that was smaller than the previous turd
decimation: people would be outraged because "you are stealing our new features"
ben_vulpes: well she's on the right track. have you seen technical incompetents try to use android phones?
ben_vulpes: the android platform does a magical job of implementing software-accelerated phone aging.
ben_vulpes: apple's done a decent job on the software jailing, so the phone operating system doesn't rot quite as quickly as its counterparts, so they're forced to release new "operating systems" that consume ever more resources.
ben_vulpes: on android, the users saw their *own* feet off.
decimation: ben_vulpes: agreed, my android phone magically rots, even despite my attempts to trim shit
ben_vulpes: the only people happy with androids are those with the budget to replace them every 8 months
ben_vulpes: or the technical savvy to wipe the things, ibid
TomServo: Where are all the phones with hardware keyboards, is what I'd like to know.

ben_vulpes: i'd settle for a startac
TomServo: decimation: How old is it?
ben_vulpes: my father sent me out with his startac when i was a wee one, for 'supervision'.
ben_vulpes: i forgot i had any electronics on me, went romping through a fountain, fried a legendarily high quality phone.
ben_vulpes: i cannot atone for all my sins.
thestringpuller: software accelerated phone aging?

xanthyos: someone i know on tinychat is trying to dump btc to me at spot. i hope i don't come out looking like a fool. that's more of a worry than the money loss at this point: appearing like a fool in the short term to a bunch of druggies and cam whores
xanthyos: i can't NOT buy though
ben_vulpes: yeah you can
ben_vulpes: just don't
nanotube: xanthyos: why not ask for a discount to spot
ben_vulpes: 20% is what - 80 bucks per right now?
xanthyos: i'll definitely round it in my favor
thestringpuller: oh wow nanotube speaks!
thestringpuller: you still feel the same about MagicalTux? ;)
Luke-Jr: ben_vulpes: I can't find it now, but the Linux kernel used to have a writeup why commits shouldn't be PGP signed
mircea_popescu: <thestringpuller> did Diablo-D3 ever get around to making that 1mn dollar company << 1 mn BITCOIN. get it straight.,
Luke-Jr: ben_vulpes: IIRC it was related to signing implying you have audited the complete state of the code, not just the diff
ben_vulpes: well that's a load of malarkey.
ben_vulpes: the other arguments i've heard is a) weakens "importance" of signatures and b) leaks keys
ben_vulpes: a) lol
Luke-Jr: probably also because git maintainers like to rebase commits regularly
ben_vulpes: b) don't sign too often.
ben_vulpes: well then the sig goes bad and tough luck.
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: i don't know my history very well even though i lived it
thestringpuller: ewww rebase commits
thestringpuller: good way to lose your history
Luke-Jr: ben_vulpes: also, the sig can't prove who wrote the code anyway
ben_vulpes: da
ben_vulpes: fuq
Luke-Jr: ben_vulpes: it would be trivial for Con to take my commits and reauthor them with his own signature, for example
Luke-Jr: (although I doubt he'd go that far)
BingoBoingo: thestringpuller: nano just updated a few ratings
Luke-Jr: thestringpuller: yeah, I'm not a big fan of rebasing, but that's how the git culture works :/

Luke-Jr: ben_vulpes: yes, he screwed up big time
ben_vulpes: it happened on his watch.
Luke-Jr: nanotube: weird :/
mircea_popescu: what the fuck dorkhead do you have to be to believe sssomething like that. "o the police said this guy isn't involved". how'd they know and why'd they say that.
ben_vulpes: !up Diablo-D3
Luke-Jr: mircea_popescu: they're investigating the theft
mircea_popescu: right.
Luke-Jr: and have access to information we don't
mircea_popescu: no, they don't.
Luke-Jr: nanotube: try over IPv6?
BingoBoingo: No reason police aren't for sale like anyone else.
mircea_popescu: but that aside : that's the definition of "investigating" : they dion;t know who did what
mircea_popescu: and who's not involved.
mircea_popescu: just because the idiots you normally shill at can't read japanese doesn't mean you actually get to propose nonsense in here as fact.
Luke-Jr: I don't shill.
Luke-Jr: mircea_popescu: too bad, I don't save every news article I read.
mircea_popescu: right.

Luke-Jr: mircea_popescu: "news articles" was the topic

mircea_popescu: yeah, im sure they do o.o
Dimsler: mircea_popescu, maybe they have access to the "secret" server
mircea_popescu: yeah, right.
mircea_popescu: maybe they have access to their own behinds.
Luke-Jr: mircea_popescu: it's pretty obvious MagicalTux isn't allowed to publicly say a lot of stuff
mircea_popescu: seems unlikely, giving what we know of public servants, but why not hoep.
Luke-Jr: that stuff, the police have access to
nanotube: mircea_popescu: sure, except it wasn't the entire thing? it was a particular date range, plus as i recall not all transactions?
mircea_popescu: yeah because co-conspirator testimony is like the be all end all of truthsources.
mircea_popescu: nanotube now how would one know this ?
nanotube: i distinctly recall it didn't have some of my earliest transactions :P
mircea_popescu: which one of the leaked versions of which particular breach ?

ben_vulpes: for the record, signing not your own commits is anathema and will eventually be outed.
ben_vulpes: a signed tag is a different thing.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes eh ?
RagnarDanneskjol: explain signed tag pls
mircea_popescu: why, if you've read it ?
ben_vulpes: RagnarDanneskjol: you're familiar with tagging in git?
RagnarDanneskjol: sure
RagnarDanneskjol: why bettr or different
asciilifeform: why commits shouldn't be PGP signed... leaks keys << sorta like the idea that one shouldn't blow nose - leaks brains. yes, given some misconfigurations of the body - this can actually happen.
mircea_popescu: lol
ben_vulpes: a commit is "i did this code"
mircea_popescu: splendid analogy
ben_vulpes: a tag is "this release bears my stamp"
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes can i commit code my slavegirl wrote on her offline abacus ?
RagnarDanneskjol: OH yea
ben_vulpes: tux might nota been a party to the crime, but it happened under his watch.
ben_vulpes: you can do anything you want
ben_vulpes: how your wot handles it is unresolved
mircea_popescu: so then if i sign a commit you made, what's the problem ?
ben_vulpes: why not encrypt messages to bitcoin private keys? it works, what's the problem?
mircea_popescu: can you stick to arguing your idea instead of arguing around ?
ben_vulpes: i'll try.
ben_vulpes: the commit is "here is a diff of thing before i started work today, and thing after i finished this feature." it may include tests, changes to other miscellaneous stuff. it should exist (in my opinion, i may be wrong and might need to be argued out of this) as a statement that "i did this work". this clearly gets hazy when you've got multiple eyes on a screen.
ben_vulpes: and multiple people providing input into what precisely should be done. however, the buck must stop with the signer of the commit.
thestringpuller: diff of commit hash in blockchain?
ben_vulpes: also i don't really know that git affords for you signing my hash and including it in the repository, from a technical perspective.
ben_vulpes: er, commit.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes but see, if what you mean to say is "signing actual commits may be taking on more responsibility than you realise", why say "anathema" ?
mircea_popescu: as far as i can see, all signatories of a thing are joint and several responsible for it.
ben_vulpes: that's why the signatory of the commit can only be held responsible for changes introduced in that commit.
mircea_popescu: if that's what you're trying to do, it's not anathema, it's the right thing. if it's not what you're trying to do it's still not anathema, just, you're misguidedly using the tools
ben_vulpes: sure, i made a change to openssl, and i stand behind it. that should not be taken to be an endorsement of the project.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes basically the practica application would be, once X bug is found, grep for the code and whenever you find it in something someone signed, tear them a new one.
ben_vulpes: what would it mean for it to be in something that someone signed?
ben_vulpes: that's the importance of signing the diff.
mircea_popescu: well up to the signer what he signs.
ben_vulpes: that's why the commit is the right thing for a contributor to sign.
ben_vulpes: "i changed these things, and i take responsibility for the content of the change."
ben_vulpes: now if you strip whitespace on a line that later turns out to have a mission-critical hole...
mircea_popescu: sure, if that's what he means that's what he should do.
mircea_popescu: mno.
mircea_popescu: fuck you, don't dick around with lines you don't udnerstand.
mircea_popescu: "all i did was the space guise" psshhhh
ben_vulpes: d'accord.
mircea_popescu: the entire point of the exercise is to make people fucking affraid to write code.
asciilifeform: ^
ben_vulpes: now in the tag, you include a message: "this signed tag is my stamp upon the whole and entirety of the codebase".
mircea_popescu: that' the only way they'll stop long enough to read something.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes that's nonsense. what's this, a badly specified bitbet bet ?
ben_vulpes: or, "this signed tag is my stamp on lines xx-yy in file thus.hs"
mircea_popescu: no dude, you include what you sign between --begin and end
ben_vulpes: i'm demonstrating the range of what's possible, not what i'd do.
mircea_popescu: no signature-by-reference. now THAT'
mircea_popescu: s anathema.
ben_vulpes: and you probably want to hash the lines and sign the hash to boot.

ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: right.
ben_vulpes: what is anathema in the previous context mircea_popescu is taking someone else's commits, signing them and claiming them as your own.
ben_vulpes: if i find commits like that without a "copied without permission from XXX" -- that's a demerit.
asciilifeform: (example not necessarily applicable to given domain, but specifically of folks taking actual responsibility for their actions)
asciilifeform: as for this entire thread - being pessimist, imho any software project which appears to call for this level of organizational complexity - is a lost cause.
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: you could only make people terrified in this system if everyone was required to sign commits no?
asciilifeform: and yes, that means, e.g., linux kernel.

chetty: ben_vulpes, if you have employees where you have to do withholding and stuff, hire an outfit, cheaper in the long run
ThickAsThieves: <+ben_vulpes> one guy says to hire a whole payroll company /// in my experience doing your own payroll via QBO is better than paying ADP or such, but only if your staff knows some amount of accounting and tax filing
ThickAsThieves: it does make it easy, but at the risk of not knowing wtf to do if you have a problem and no accounting support
chetty: all the assorted tax filings and stuff are real time eaters
ThickAsThieves: and QBO doesnt make it clear when/what you need to mail yourself, vs submit online

mircea_popescu: "România, membră a Tratatului de la Varșovia, a decis trecerea la noul calibru la începutul anilor 1980. În loc să fabrice direct o copie a automatului AK-74, conducerea de la București a decis dezvoltarea unei arme independent de cea sovietică. Rezultatul, Pușca Automată Model 1986, deși similară familiei AK-74, avea unele elemente constructive proprii. "

The20YearIRCloud: Doesn't Romania still use stamped AK recievers? I know all the ones we get here in the US are paper thin
asciilifeform: The20YearIRCloud: (ianal!) but recently i was told that it is, apparently, still legal to cut your own 'receiver' in usa - so long as you write your name on it.
The20YearIRCloud: Very much so , i have several
mircea_popescu: The20YearIRCloud yeah mostly
The20YearIRCloud: Manufacturing firearms isn't illegal anyhwere in the US outside of California and NY whom have additional restrictions. The federal deal is that it has to comply with all local laws, and if you intent to sell it, they require your information to be on it.
punkman: this circle thing works, just grabbed a cheap coin
The20YearIRCloud: And then, the 'firearm' as far as the USG and ATF are concerned is the part that contains the serial number
nubbins`: punkman +1 amirite
asciilifeform: The20YearIRCloud: afaik there's some national list of prohibited features
The20YearIRCloud: So with an AK/AR it's the reciever, on something like a glock it's the frame/grip.
punkman: nubbins`: almost +1
The20YearIRCloud: It's a limited group asciilifeform : No barrels under 16" , gun must be 26" or longer, no fully auto/burst. No shotguns under 18" barrel.
punkman: surprised it worked in this shithole
asciilifeform wonders if small arms makers in usa spend more on metals, machining, or lawyers
The20YearIRCloud: Labor
The20YearIRCloud: The uS passed a law a while ago that made it quite hard to sue a gun maker
asciilifeform: sue (civil action) or prosecute ?
The20YearIRCloud: Correct
punkman: nubbins`: did you get like 10 sms messages from them?
The20YearIRCloud: Because if they would allow it, it would bring on a severe wave of 'i improperly used your product to hurt someone, so i'm gonna sue' which happend a ton in the early 90s
asciilifeform: let's say you manufacture, e.g., shotguns. then inspector walks in, with a piece inscribed with your logo, 17" long.
asciilifeform: how you prove it was 18 when left your shop ?
The20YearIRCloud: Depends on what kind of inspection you're talking about
nubbins`: punkman any major action required a SMS verification code
asciilifeform: whatever kind of inspection (ianal)
The20YearIRCloud: Well, most firearm firms that have a worry about the legality might send a copy or a blueprint to the ATF to get certification
asciilifeform: yes - of design
The20YearIRCloud: If it's a prototype, and you have a commercial manufacture license, you can fix that
asciilifeform: but how to prove that you didn't make a particular non-compliant item
The20YearIRCloud: If it's 17" , the law says you can just weld a piece of scrap metal to it that's 1" long and make it get to the minimum length
The20YearIRCloud: It's very, very difficult
asciilifeform: no, think about the hypothetical. inspector walks in with 17 inch barrel, says 'you made this. now to jail.'
The20YearIRCloud: SIG very recently put out a few hundred thousand items that the ATF decided they didn't like, and they were essentially impossible to recall, so ATF sued them, and SIG won the lawsuit
asciilifeform: you: 'it was 18. you sawed it off at fbi headquarters.'
The20YearIRCloud: Depends on commercial manufacture or doing it yourself
Duffer1: welding a muzzle device counts too
asciilifeform: inspector: 'libelling a loyal servant of the crown. extra jail points!'
The20YearIRCloud: Read up on the story of Ruby ridge to find what happens over that inch asciilifeform
The20YearIRCloud: becuase that's what happened. A ATF agent got a guy to cut a inch off a shotgun in exchange for $200, then started a whole ordeal over it
asciilifeform: that's tame compared to the gedankenexperiment. ordinary 'entrapment.'
The20YearIRCloud: Well in the case of ruby ridge the USG killed the guy's family
asciilifeform: but what if your refuse to break the laws, and inspector helpfully buys your 18 and cuts it in his office.
The20YearIRCloud: law says it's on them, although it could be done, ala gunwalker
Duffer1: forces can trick you into breaking the law with impunity
The20YearIRCloud: where they forced a gun store to sell guns to a known cartel member, or otherwise they'd throw all the people in jail. Then said cartel guy kills quite a few with said gun.
asciilifeform: just seems like you're at the total mercy of the crown, if you're a legal (registered) small-arms whatever-business.
asciilifeform: since law is whatever they say it is, and they can trot out whatever piece of hardware and say it came from your conveyor,
asciilifeform: they can force you to do or say absolutely anything - say, borrow your wife, or whatnot.

asciilifeform: 'then illegal'
nubbins`: !up PeterL
nubbins`: use it wisely
PeterL: asciilifeform: presumably the gun manufactureres keep records of what they produce
asciilifeform: PeterL: you don't get it, do you
PeterL: signed by the techs certifiying they meet specs
PeterL: then they can use those docs in court
asciilifeform: PeterL: inspector walks in with the 17-inch barrel, and says 'you are also guilty of falsifying records, since your records do not show that you made this'
PeterL: then they would have to prove records were falsified
asciilifeform: really.
asciilifeform: this is the basic 'kilo of cocaine in your toilet tank' theorem
asciilifeform: any 'strict liability offence' carries with it - this theorem
asciilifeform: in that burden of proof is, de facto, on the accused in all cases.
asciilifeform: because in as far as prosecutor goes - he has easy life. i.e. an illegal $item with your name on it
asciilifeform: 'loyal servant of the crown says he found this under your bed.'
PeterL: I wonder if this has been tried in court yet?
asciilifeform: depends on what you mean by 'this'
PeterL: your example, modified gun used to prosecute manufacturer of record?
asciilifeform: PeterL: normally they use 'child porn' to create a 'lettre de cachet' rather than gun.
asciilifeform: gun is just one example.
PeterL: could agent walk into my lab and say "You have benzyl chloride, acetonitrile and methylamine, therfore intent to manufacture methamphetamine"?
asciilifeform: yes.
mircea_popescu: <nubbins`> use it wisely << actually he can selfvoice nao.
asciilifeform: (ask lawyer, see if agrees. as i understand - yes.)
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> in that burden of proof is, de facto, on the accused in all cases. << goes neatly with the
PeterL: but any organic lab will have those ingredients
mircea_popescu: 'why can't miracles be accepted in science"
mircea_popescu: and for that matter, an excellent example of why so called "strict liability" and the rule of law can not coexist.
mircea_popescu: any state purporting to enforce strict liability is pure stalinism and nothing but. ☟︎
