mircea_popescu: decimation kerberos was developed by mit in the 80s. a gutted export version was created. as the usg was going to (again) change its export restriction in 2000,
mircea_popescu: the gutted thing was reimplemented by some nordic country university
mircea_popescu: then a few years later windows migrated to "kerberos" as its primary security protocol

mircea_popescu: sam hartman is a 30something nobody, roughly speaking a debian gmaxwell
decimation: in fact one of the supposed prime 'benefits' of redhat enterprise is that it can 'hook up to' a windows active directory server which acts as an ldap/krb ticket server
mircea_popescu: im completely unclear as to why the fuck usg wants the "one computer system" so badly anyway.

mircea_popescu: no but srsly, that letter is an exact summary of everything that's wrong with the english language space.
mircea_popescu: There isn't a right answer. As Russ has explained a number of times in the TC, on debian-vote and on his blog, this is about tradeoffs. I'm sure some people will be happy if the project's values are aligned with theirs. When they take that as far as saying the project made the "right decision" or rejected "bad options," they are not valuing the contributions of those who disagreed with them.

mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo but listen, if that's your angle (detroit sucks) then make it your title. if that doesn't work then why not ?
mircea_popescu: you can wait few hours for mircea_popescu and ask him << how does jurov know!!!
BingoBoingo: I just found the "Spread the Wealth" op-ed piece a bit... ironic considering every other headline there tonday is about the absolute pile of nothing they have.
nubbins`: how does he know how to get an anagram of his name into a sha256sum :P
mircea_popescu: Adlai: is this gpgadlai or btcadlai? only gribble knows... << nanotube you know, he brings a very good point. how would i go to check that he is in fact and specifically gpg authed ?
nubbins`: TBF i thought detroit was dead by now
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo im not saying the three links couldn't assemble into a great piece, but merely that it has to actually be done. ie, reader doesn't have access to the lulz in your head, put it on teh page.
nubbins`: mircea_popescu hm that's a good one. ;;ident will list gpg key AND btc address if both are reg'd
BingoBoingo: Ah, that problem. The why Trilema must have so many words problem.
mircea_popescu: i suppose the standard best practice when newbs make accounts would be inserting a rider with "and don't add a btc address, it just creates pointless ambiguity"
mircea_popescu: Adlai: i'm not a huge fan of leaving open the door to known-cleartext snooping through pastebin verification << le explain ?
☟︎ nubbins`: Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan revealed at the North American International Cyber Summit that a 2,000 BTC ransom was not paid in order to regain access to the affected database because it was "not that important".
nubbins`: In a seemingly-unrelated revelation that perhaps hints at the true reason for the bounty not being paid, the mayor also revealed that he cannot sync his MS Office calendar to his phone due to technical difficulties.
nubbins`: revelation + revealed gotta go
mircea_popescu: nono, "mayor would like to spread the wealth but can not find the time to do so"
nubbins`: s/revelation/admission perhaps
nubbins`: such a mayor/manager thing to say huh
nubbins`: "i can't get my phone to sync my calendar"
mircea_popescu: no, she just used to hear these voices and for a while they were gone
nubbins`: 5 satoshi says i'm the only one here who got that
nubbins`: ;;google sounding site:bme.com
nubbins`: tl;dr put things where you pee, it feels good
mircea_popescu: i also like how the sophistication, size and complexity of boy sounds vs girl sounds properly reflects the boy vs girl relation generally.
mircea_popescu: (i actually won an argument on this once. triumphant mainstreamist "oh yea ? on what criteria!" mp : "urethral sounds complexity.")
nubbins`: i don't know that i've seen gender-specific sounds, altho i guess the big sets would never ever fit into a woman's urethra
mircea_popescu: Alexander Fox @AutonoZone · Oct 6 @napoleon @BitcoinBelle Idealism is a dangerous investment strategy. Just look at the goldbugs. Global capital is pouring into the USD. <<< why does the usd sound so much like every other altchain scam ?
nubbins`: then i've never seen female ones :o
nubbins`: anyway idk what it's like now, but there was a time when private citizens had the hardest time purchasing shit like this
nubbins`: i remember going to a medical supply place once to pick up a biopsy punch i'd ordered
nubbins`: "what are you going to do with this?"
nubbins`: (worry replaced with confusion, leads me to cash register)
mircea_popescu tries to follow in Adlai's footsteps reading that "accelerating change" piece, gets as far as "The goal of this chapter is to trace the general implications of what are identified as the two central characteristics of the future: accelerating change and intensifying complexity.", first line in abstract, and fails.
nubbins`: nothing so innocent, although i've mostly moved on from the proclivities of my youth
mircea_popescu: what the FUCK is "intensifying" complexity. is complexity like pain or wtf.
nubbins`: i definitely do not biopsy women during sex
mircea_popescu: "spread wider honey i wanna get a taste of precum straigth through your perineum!"
nubbins`: for those of you not in the know, a biopsy punch is a cylindrical scalpel, useful for removing round chunks of flesh from various areas of the body
mircea_popescu: you probably make earlobe holes and lame shit like that.
nubbins`: altho my earlobe holes were done the old-fashioned way, pierced with a needle then immediately tapered to 6 gauge
mircea_popescu: that's the main problem for people that got circumcised
nubbins`: the cock is a cornucopia of piercing sites
nubbins`: i can list maybe a dozen named cock piercings off the top of my head
punkman goes to check bme guy's blog, finds "hey guys, I'm dead" post
mircea_popescu: xanthyos: ruminated a bit on the imagery of human women being milked as cows when i woke up. the creepy part is that it's not just hentai, and that given the population of the earth, there are surely women that are being dairy farmed somewhere. << nope. if you think about it, mammals are only productive after foaling. what would you do with all the babies ? this and numerous other considerations make dairy-female a hig
mircea_popescu: hly abstract fantasy, roughly comensurate with the bizarre shit coming out of the lesbian feminist camp, which is why i made that comment.
nubbins`: punkman actually a very interesting guy, if a bit narcissistic
mircea_popescu: only heard of bme through modder chick years after its heyday
nubbins`: real downer about him killing himself, i was in a funk for like 6mo over it
punkman: yeah he was a cool dude, bme turned to shit when ex-wife took it over
nubbins`: punkman i met her once at a wedding
mircea_popescu: nubbins` met modder chick through making fun of "all those freaks with the crazy shit stick on all sides of head".
mircea_popescu: cause you know, she seemed sane, and im very conservative.
nubbins`: i actually met my first almost-wife through bme
nubbins`: a more-or-less intact piece, no less
mircea_popescu: anyway, i would expect suicide is the definitve body modification all serious practitioners aspire towards.
nubbins`: assbot now scrapes site & dpastes plaintext?
punkman: not just plaintext! even images!
nubbins`: nice alternative for when you really don't wanna click a link, i guess
mircea_popescu: part of it was the ip stealing attempt coupla days back.
punkman: maybe I can setup a URL where assbot can post content to, provide actual html/file mirror
mircea_popescu: sahould be more in the scoopbot than in the deedbot domain that, in the interest of not making a mess of things
punkman: yeah not on deedbot system, I got plenty of space on a dreamhost account
gribble: peterl was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 1 day, 14 hours, 56 minutes, and 25 seconds ago: <PeterL> yes
punkman: Imma write stupid PHP script to do this, also needed for deed backups
mircea_popescu: well seeing how scoopbot's never in chan, something's gonna have to be done here.
nanotube: mircea_popescu: that info is not currently publicly available. though i can find out by checking bot-side logs.
nubbins`: my admittedly inconsequential vote is for including it in ;;ident, as it's potentially useful
nubbins`: say you want to know if someone's authed via btc or gpg
nubbins`: ('potentially' == i can't think of a compelling scenario)
nanotube: haha you're begging the question here. /why/ would someone want to know that
nanotube: not that it would harm anything to have the info... just curious
nubbins`: ostensibly so it's easier to shame people who have registered both a gpg key and a btc address, but choose not to auth via gpg
nubbins`: i'm sure mp has a more concrete scenario in mind ;p
xanthyos: mircea_popescu: once a woman starts producing milk she'll keep producing it until she stops nursing. there are some children who nurse way too long and as long as they keep suckling, the milk will flow. also i doubt anyone using women to farm milk is concerned about cost effectiveness or has the moral concern to worry about his cows continually giving birth. their young might be inserted into the food chain that eventually becomes the moth
nubbins`: i'm sure the truly compelling part of that paragraph was after the break
nubbins`: i was at a printer's fair yesterday and some guy came up being really weird about a book we published
rithm: asciilifeform it just means they subcontract it out
rithm: reading reports under the pretense where one hands know what the other hand is doing is fallacy
mircea_popescu: <nanotube> haha you're begging the question here. /why/ would someone want to know that << well, i do want to know.
mircea_popescu: for one thing, if a hole is found in either but not in both, the situation is now glbse-ambiguous : anyone logged on can claim it wasn;t them
mircea_popescu: "also i doubt anyone using women to farm milk is concerned about cost effectiveness" << maybe we're not on the same page as to what farm means, here.
mircea_popescu: something like "i'm farming the lich king, 100k spent for every 80k worth of loot" ?
mircea_popescu: also, feeding cows their foals, it doesn't work. that's how you select for Creutzfeldt–Jakob
mircea_popescu: if it did make any sort of economic sense it'd be all over your flouridated water i'm sure.
nubbins`: i have friends who are still not allowed to donate blood because they spent more than 6mo in england
mircea_popescu: "In Canada, individuals are not eligible to donate blood or plasma if they have spent a cumulative total of three months in the United Kingdom or France from January 1, 1980, to December 31, 1996. They are also ineligible if they have spent a cumulative total of five years or more in Western Europe outside the U.K. or France since 1980, or if they have had a blood transfusion in the U.K., France or Western Europe since
mircea_popescu: and in spite of all that painstaking effort ? still crazy as fuck, the canucks.
nubbins`: mp these rules were enacted by a competing prion which has figured out how to influence human behaviour in a more nuanced fashion

BingoBoingo imagines the SEW campaign to make Earth safe for the Alien Invaders
nubbins`: you cannot donate your tenderloins unless you've spent less than 3 consecutive months on earth
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I vaguelly remember a few stories but no titles
BingoBoingo: Just in the context of the prion discussion, I'm imagining sufficiently advanced aliens to have had this problem before. They came here to steal our water, but can't because of fish piss. Just like the Mad Cow blood donor ban
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> (before anyone asks, yes, must posit some exception for gametes) <<< wait wait lol.
xanthyos: if someone's gpg key is on a computer that is being held captive by an angry muslim ex boyfriend and they make a new wot account and then later recover the old key, can the ratings of those two accounts be merged?
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [AMHASH1] 1000 @ 0.00120273 = 1.2027 BTC [+] {2}
xanthyos: well he doesn't have the passphrase for it
xanthyos: but the security isn't my question
xanthyos: would all the people who gave rating have to be notified to rerate to the new account manually
nubbins`: sums up the situation more succinctly
nubbins`: hey duod it's me, `xanthyos`, can you give me a re-rate bru? i lost my key lol
nubbins`: losing your key is, indeed, quite inconvenient.
xanthyos: well if it's someone i can authenticate as the same person
xanthyos: i'm saying if they later recovered the key
xanthyos: and proved they were the same person in that sense
nubbins`: what are you even talking about
xanthyos: it's not a lost key it's a currently inaccessible key because it's behind a locked physical door
nubbins`: at least call these "hypothetical" people alice and bob so we can follow you
nubbins`: so your laptop is locked in someone's house
xanthyos: alice's laptop is locked in bob's house
xanthyos: can alice make wot account alice2 knowing that she'll get her alice1 account back eventually
xanthyos: and upon recovering alice1 prove that both are the same and merge their ratings
mike_c: what's the rush? if she'll get alice1 back, just wair.
xanthyos: i can't go into that without giving explicit private information
mike_c: my $0.02 is I wouldn't re-rate without a good answer to that question.
mike_c: where "good" really means.. i don't think there is a good reason.
mike_c: because when you start putting random qualifiers on good answers, you get scammed.
xanthyos: my question was only if there was a way to merge so rerating wouldn't be an issue if one could prove via gribble to simultaneously own two accounts
mike_c: that would be a bug, not a feature.
mike_c: someone can move my rating to a different account? that's silliness.
xanthyos: are you rating the account or the person?
mike_c: the account is the person.
xanthyos: i guess that protects people from making offensive name accounts and making it look like you endorse them
xanthyos: so then i guess just as ratings can't be moved accounts probably can't be renamed
xanthyos: finally a time when 10 trust makes sense
nubbins`: see the thing is, you want a message from alice saying "alice1 is my backup pgp key in case this one gets stolen"
xanthyos: it's like warp 10, trust 10 simultaneously occupies every place of faith in the universe
nubbins`: but you want it after alice has been stolen.
nubbins`: and if you'd done it before alice had been stolen, well, i suppose your alice1 woulda been stolen too, huh?
nubbins`: the key is to be able to demonstrably prove that you are who you say you are without use of a pgp key
nubbins`: not everyone can pull this off
xanthyos: what my "aura" isn't enough guys? clearly it's me.
nubbins`: that's an important distinction
xanthyos: wot accounts are people like corporations are people
kakobrekla: this raises a question, can schizophrenic even use pgp as intended?
xanthyos: no, that analogy falls apart in that corporate personhood removes accountability while wot accounthood demands it
xanthyos: not schizophrenic but you mean dissociative personalities
nubbins`: kakobrekla runaway thoughts prevent one from using pgp? o.O
xanthyos: if it's a compartmentalized individual
kakobrekla: dissociative personalities < in such setup, does one personality have access to others passwords?
xanthyos: hyde doesn't know jekyll's passphrase

gribble: BingoBoingo was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 1 hour, 4 minutes, and 53 seconds ago: <BingoBoingo> ^ Blame Obola
adlai: did bingo died of obbola?
cazalla: seems BingoBoingo has been busy this morning and scooped me on the news before i was even awake
cazalla: thestringpuller, need a few cuppas first
TheNewDeal: From the article "We set out to make payments faster and more fun!!!"
dignork: "For now, Snapcash is available to Snapchatters in the United States who have a debit card and are 18 or older." << there is such a thing?
undata: the hipsters all use snapchat to send each other dick pics
dignork: or dick pics for dollar, might work too
dignork: and a DRM solution, to protect the assets.
thestringpuller: well snapchat deletes your photo after its viewed doncha know***
undata: suddenly the use case becomes clear.
dignork: that's very weak DRM, better would be scrambling signal to be decoded on google glasses, surgically embedded into user scalp.
mircea_popescu: “I guess you will have to go to jail. If that is the result of not understanding the Income Tax Law, I will meet you there. We shall have a merry, merry time, for all our friends will be there. It will be an intellectual center, for no one understands the Income Tax Law except persons who have not sufficient intelligence to understand the questions that arise under it.”
mircea_popescu: “The welfare state reduces a citizen to a client, subordinates them to a bureaucrat, and subjects them to rules that are anti- work, anti-family, anti-opportunity and anti-property... Humans forced to suffer under such anti-human rules naturally develop pathologies. The evening news is the natural result of the welfare state.”
mircea_popescu: curious that the "advanced northern europe" isn't coming out with "brevik is pretty much our greatest achievement",
mircea_popescu: at least the us has the decency to worship its degenerates.
mircea_popescu: “The state is the great fictitious entity by which everyone seeks to live at the expense of everyone else.” lol
cazalla: you know, with the new pokemon game coming out in a few days time, idea of a bitcoin pokemon market would be great, could even have gpg pokemon contracts
mircea_popescu: you'll have to explain this like we've never been five
mircea_popescu: my idea of a pokemon is roughly speaking a beanie baby. what's to gpg there ?
cazalla: for trading pokemon, you know, so i can point and say hey, you said you would deliver pokemon xyz and you decided to back out at the last minute, don't trade with this guy
TheNewDeal: pokemon was also a card game back in the day, like Magic. Not sure if he's talking about software game
mircea_popescu: i suppose someone who knows about trading cards could re-make mtgox.
danielpbarron: it was a gameboy game first; you could trade via the connection cable
cazalla: mircea_popescu, never played pokemon? so you catch them as you would say find an item in an mmorpg, you train em, level em up, you can trade them as you would an item in an mmorpg to other players
cazalla: i doubt there is any demand for it but i would buy a desired pokemon for btc
cazalla: i am partial to the original 150
cazalla: i wonder if nintendo capitulated and will allow 2 male pokemon to make a baby pokemon
danielpbarron: the amount of "work" that goes into finding a shiny would put it in the 1 to 10 BTC range
mircea_popescu: all these fucktarded nsa "codewords". it would not surprise me if the central nodes in the administration of all this perpetually overbudget, perpetually mismanaged nonsense are desocialised to the point they can no longer interact with people in a shop or bar or w/e
mircea_popescu: exactly like star trek ninnies, speaking a wholly unintelligible pigdin and laughing out of the blue for nutty reasons.
danielpbarron: like the yale-tards i overheard at louis lunch the other day? like it was their first time interacting with people outside of acedemia?
cazalla: mebe you nintendo could even use blockchain technology to timestamp when you found a pokemon so no-one can sell you dupes
cazalla: could call it.. the brockchain
punkman: "The FreeBSD Foundation is pleased to announce it has received a $1,000,000 donation from Jan Koum, CEO and Co-Founder of WhatsApp. This marks the largest single donation to the Foundation since its inception almost 15 years ago"
punkman: "The reason we were able to attract A-list investors is our group of founders and the promise of blockchain technology."
mats_cd03: this is the impression i'm getting, too.
thestringpuller: cazalla: a pokemon exchange?!? lol. i think I may be the only one in this channel who plays pokemon.
thestringpuller: asciilifeform: blockstream << lol i look at the founders page and of course gmaxwell is on it
thestringpuller: its like "the only thing I can do is work for cash burning start up or suck dick"
punkman: hey 20 million bezzlars, that's gotta last them at least a year
thestringpuller: so they run out of money not finding useful stuff to do and ask for more. so does this make all the core developers essentially beggars?
nubbins`: a beggar is not one who accepts money but one who begs for it
nubbins`: asciilifeform re: that book you posted earlier
nubbins`: they match puffin with "nuffin"
nubbins`: and leave a blank space in lieu of a picture 8)
mircea_popescu: punkbot these deals always depend on how much they actually get.
nubbins`: downloading blockchain, take three. go!
nubbins`: thinking about making a pgp infographic-type poster
nubbins`: gotta find a neat angle on it tho
cazalla: asciilifeform: i propose that pseudo-bitcoin scamatrons be known as 'mockchains' <<< why you gotta try oneup my brockchain :(
mircea_popescu: actually, someone should make a backup service, exactly identical to tarsnap except it only accepts material gpg-encrypted to your key.
mircea_popescu: on the current, symetric cypher based process, not bad. to the tune gbps depending on your system specs
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller note that the question is leading. sure, "aes optimised" hardware may deliver better performance, at an unknown cost to security.
thestringpuller: i guess maybe that is first test I will run on cardano: get arbritarily large file and find rate at which it decrypts/encrypts
mircea_popescu: “The legacy of Democrats and Republicans approaches: Libertarianism by bankruptcy.”
