Framedragger: BingoBoingo: yah i've to take better care of my hobbies eh
mircea_popescu: but anyway, lulzy "duel" of talking points from the libtards and really-not-libtards-promise. they all agree russia doesn't matter and that hillary will somehow win the "elections", but you're more than free to connect the rest of the dots any way you please ? hurr durr.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: a) in a us-ru confrontation, ru wins ; as they have won the past three ; b) only thing hillary wins is another pint of hagen dazs. woman's a born loser, and always ahs been.
mircea_popescu: heck, she probably still has the icecream ladels from back when she was the... second lady of the first man.
deedbot: Farksers voiced for 30 minutes.
mircea_popescu: so she loses election and gets anointed by bureaucracy, is the last ditch of a hope ? mmmkay,
mircea_popescu: so you're saying "she loses, but gets anointed by bureaucracy anyway"
mircea_popescu: you know diebold headquarters burns just like any other vinyl siding construction ; vaginal pear splits up andy matter's wife just as well as any other.
mircea_popescu: so far it's the republic that published the dnc emails ; not the other way around.
mircea_popescu: you entertain this delusion, whereby the bureaucrats somehow have freedom to act ; republic does not
mircea_popescu: there's no meta-nsa, there's no anything. the dogvomit is dogvomit all the way down.
mircea_popescu: there is no substantial difference between hillary rodham clinton, ross william ulbricht and adam james susan.
mircea_popescu: they're all the exact keyboard warrior, lost in a fantasy world where they "call assassinations" and "resolve problems" and whatnot.
mircea_popescu: more like "there are no wizards, unless you mean 30 yo virgins"
mircea_popescu: (incidentally, the elliot kid is a fucking self-parody, like a comic book character irl)
mircea_popescu: defenseless. a fucking wasp colony can take out the defenseless.
mircea_popescu: you know they recently found a russian fellow with his family, in the woods.
mircea_popescu: he was pleased to hear the tsar was finally overturned
shinohai: dafuq is that atrocity ... 2000 sats? srsly ?
shinohai: "Note: We are getting low revenue from ads since we have few players/views/clicks."
mircea_popescu: grep for "Ok guys, I found a general failure on the defense system of the game and don't know how to fix that making the game unable to play at this point."
mircea_popescu: or alternatively i guess for " For everybody, sorry my windows got some bug yesterday while I was doing the banners to promote the game Embarrassed and I'm busy trying to fix that, after that I'll give all atention to you all! Thanks for all!"
shinohai: Interestingly enough, admin needs to wear paid signature to get extra 0.02 btc a week to pay server costs

deedbot: boolcrap voiced for 30 minutes.
boolcrap: i dont work for the old people u know
boolcrap: ive had alot of time to work on side jobs
boolcrap: i only go in once a week or so
boolcrap: you can only make so much money not interacting with the ppls
mircea_popescu: gets better, "i don't know how to fix that 500 error so will close the game"
mircea_popescu: anyway, someone found a reimplementation of eve online in php made by some mexicans (literally), edited some stuff in his notepad ; but then the machine "caught some viruses" when he was making banners (ie, downloaded random photoshop crack) and well...
boolcrap: really you went to il pizzico?
boolcrap: its closed on sundays and from 2-5
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> stray dogs - yes. raccoons - yes. but rats.. << AHA! This is what makes me wary of reaching out to faucetologists!
mircea_popescu: check your priviledge bro. there's more people who don't javascript because they can't than the ones who don't because won't.
mircea_popescu: and more generally : for every one person who won't do x because stupid idea - there's at least 79 who don't because it never occured to them.
mircea_popescu: "do you know why it's called software, sonny ? it's because i shit better code than this!"
mircea_popescu: it's also a dying item. pre laparascopy it was a major tool of the trade.
deedbot: boolcrap voiced for 30 minutes.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> in other 'news', i found the ~1 remaining maker of non-chinese-shitsteel screwdrivers (yes) on the planet. << Who?
mircea_popescu: very little of what used to take skilled hands and tweezers in the operating room still does.
BingoBoingo: There's a few other makers, but yes. Costs weight in silver.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Then they lose "Charge weight in silver." Hand tool market has solid atm homeostasis between gradations of chinese shitsteel and leap to functional metal.
boolcrap: what is this heterosexual shit
boolcrap: i clicked it, and it wasnt gay. that was a suprise
BingoBoingo: boolcrap: It was the GAYEST. Nothing gayer than self fucking.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo i dunno that teeny self-opening herself counts as self fucking.
boolcrap: i mean are their balls touching, i cant tell
mircea_popescu: they're still essentially rubbing their underdicks on each other.
boolcrap: yeah but, it is for the pleasure of this nice slut
boolcrap: does rubbing shafts make you gay in this situation?
BingoBoingo: ;;8ball "does rubbing shafts make you gay in this situation?"
boolcrap: because i could easy be in this situation but
boolcrap: ;;8ball "will i die a free man"

PeterL: obnoxious thing about winblows #67542: using \ as a directory separator rather than / like other OSen. bleh.
shinohai: It's how you separate the wheat from the chaff.
mircea_popescu: doesn't it know these people have note from bahamas ?!?!?!
mircea_popescu: even asange said this should happen to the russians! not to them! scandalous.
shinohai: you are welcome to take over maintenance BingoBoingo, I bought it a dedi shell and everything.
BingoBoingo: At least not the language of their insides.
mircea_popescu: lol shinohai will instruct noobs. how to play eulora ; how to run bot ; how to fuck camhos ; and other thangs.
mircea_popescu: the reason he's meeting venezuelan friend isn't what you think, but - they'll both go meet the girl, take her back to hotel, then shinohai's gonna be "alright bro, now take your pants off. not those pants, these pants. yes off. here's a webpage with screenshots. ok, now..."
shinohai: I don't give camho fucking lessons, if one cannot figure the best way to do that on your own then I imagine there is little hope left in the world for you.
shinohai: Sure it ir, but you don't have to be a graduate of Don Juan university to do it either.
mircea_popescu: for one thing, usg hasn't yet liberated female pelvis. current version still has confusing # of holes.
mircea_popescu: but i hear they're making an upgrade marked mandatory for everyone. called persistent cloaca.
shinohai searches trilema for an `Art of Fucking` piece.
mircea_popescu: there's some periphrastic work but afaik i've not tackled this monster as of yet.
BingoBoingo: Well, shinohai's about to have a really disappointed Venezualan on his hands if mp doesn't
shinohai: Nope thestringpuller have been single for several months now
mircea_popescu: you all want wireless because you grow cats in the house, admit it.
mircea_popescu: but yes, when i had garden in timisoara i also had a spool of cat5.

jurov: Qntra shares distributed.
shinohai: ty jurov and also do you have updated .deb for eulora?
jurov: maybe today, thx for reminder
mircea_popescu: the correct move here if we had spare engineers would be to run a complete review of open sores crypto material generators, starting with openssh
mircea_popescu: get a "cloud" of likely primes, much in the way "artificial intelligence" works.
mircea_popescu: ie, if paul biggar weren't a total idiot, he'd be here doing this.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform that's much iffier because as you've seen in the field, the idiots who are idiots once are going to be idiots forever
mircea_popescu: NONE of them produced the fucking software. all of them produced various versions of "oh, you owe us things"
a111: Logged on 2016-08-17 16:09 mircea_popescu: $rate hasimir -1 Ill informed idiot.
mircea_popescu: somehow the "here is the code i compiled to run to obtain that result" is not obviously the ONLY thing they may do in their situation.
mircea_popescu: meaningless flailing about what "we haven't proven" however, ie, the ONLY thing they may not do in their situation, that they come up with qs.
mircea_popescu: and you can ask / say whatever you want, idiot runs on own code and ain't taking outside input.
mircea_popescu: yes, it could have, at any point during the past year, been a significant way for the derps to contribute ; and very cheap for them.
mircea_popescu: but they are derps because impotent, not because "mp hates them"
trinque: asciilifeform: people generate their ssh privkey on the box *to which* they're connecting?
☟︎ trinque: I am on a terribly laggy connection, but people there can be understood as "manufacturers"
trinque: all the networking gear I've seen didn't ship with any authorized_keys filled in
mircea_popescu: trinque depends on setup ; sometimes nat people do this. gotta remember we're talking of a tiny fraction of the space here.
mircea_popescu: yes, the people with shitty opsec are never a tiny fraction of any group ; even if we don't meet them often
trinque: asciilifeform: yes I know what that means.
trinque: but it does not immediately follow that there are any authorized_keys set or determine where they were generated if so
mircea_popescu: trinque his idea was that it's worth checking if there were ; not necessarily that there are.
mircea_popescu: but at this point it wouldn't be much surprise if there were, honestly.
trinque: ah well no argument I guess.
trinque: people do the strangest things.
mircea_popescu: to be clear here : if the keys are generated out of 16 bits of entropy ; and if there are 65537 keys ; then necessarily there will be at least one weak pair, and in practice more than half ; all of which will be cheaply hacked apart by phuctor's method.
mircea_popescu: considering we have millions of keys, and considering the sort of shenanigans we've seen currently, including werner koch's gpg subversion most recently ; it would not be inconceivable at this point if a good chunk - thousands, hundreds of thousands of keys can actually be factored once we figure out which exact 20, 30, whatever bits are actual entropy , and how the nextprime is chosen on the basis of that.
mircea_popescu: because if we discover that say "thisfunction is used on 64 bits of input of which the first 44 are known" ; then we run the other 20, add the resulting nextprime etc add those into the 8ball and it's goodnight.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: asciilifeform just making it plain for teh log readership.
mircea_popescu: is this what they call the police arresting the key people of their child porn ring ? "attacked by terrorists" ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform no i mean, i nthe context of keys. they're still the same damned thing, what "2"
shinohai: "An unknown individual using the encrypted privacy tool Tor to hide their tracks accessed an email account on a Clinton family server, the FBI revealed Friday." <<<< bwahahaha

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform so basically they took the windows pill.
mircea_popescu: "And honesty's against all common sense: men must be knaves, 'tis in their own defence. Mankind's dishonest; if you think it fair among known cheats to play upon the square you'll be undone. Nor can weak truth your reputation save: the knaves will all agree to call you knave."
mircea_popescu: time to buy your ship if you're serious. this unique circumstance in human history will never repeat.
mircea_popescu: unlike the kickstarter lolrlov nonsense. they exist, and they float. nobody asks you to go from vancouver to huangzhou.
mircea_popescu: too expensive to drydock. cheaper to melt and make new one than "fix".
mircea_popescu: if you buy a newish one at a fire sale/bankruptcy proceeding today ; you will die before it dies.
mircea_popescu: you got a crane or two. get people to bring you supplies by boat.
mircea_popescu: hey, i had them deliver 2 tons of water by hand ; the whole purchase was a few hundred bux.
mircea_popescu: they'll deliver. you just buy your sprat by the pellet rather than by the box as now. it keeps./
mircea_popescu: it works better if you have half a dozen slavegirls with you ; buy ten tons of flour, have them make bread each day
mircea_popescu: flour also keeps ; esp at sea. ten tons will still only cost you a few thousand dollars, who cares.
mircea_popescu: but that's because living on the sea sucks, not because the ships suck.
mircea_popescu: there's MANY flotillas of sad shoe makers / tailors etc.
mircea_popescu: hundreds of ships load raw materials in china deliver product in brazil and back and forth
mircea_popescu: like a large sort of ant colony digesting leaves of denim
mircea_popescu: the reason they're not programmers is that there's no useful value in programming.
mircea_popescu: it's entirely a social-media thing. boys "program" exactly like the girls "are popular"
mircea_popescu: review the problems of running mines in the us cca 1800. dumbass minersd want to work a week and visit a brothel.
mircea_popescu: this is plowing with chickens. they work for a year at a time not for a two hour stretch ; then you got a business.
mircea_popescu: programming is not an economic activity ; it has no value. it's a social activity, like clicking on lolpics or liking on facebook.
mircea_popescu: the govt distributes largesse for this and for that, so the mouthbreathers can keep going.
diana_coman: <mircea_popescu> it's entirely a social-media thing. boys "program" exactly like the girls "are popular" <- only today I read in that sad ACM magazine that *used* to be a thing about the great discovery of "helping" children finally learn programming by...making it social!
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform this isn't to say that there can't exist a market ; or that one can't write useful code.
mircea_popescu: but the bullshit koch does ; or blizzard does ; or app development or etc ain't it
mircea_popescu: not even vaguely. the activity resembles final middle school camp.
mircea_popescu: all the boys are out in the forest jacking off, and all the girls are being mean to each other in circles of n-1
mircea_popescu: not really. i already cleanned it up ; exactly in the way the spunk left behind by the teens is cleanned.
mircea_popescu: that's not it. just ... look, all this "work" that the prb derps think they're doing. it has no future. it isn't getting imported into bitcoin.
mircea_popescu: they think they're important, fine. every teenager thinks himself important, and relevant to the world. the truth is none of them are either.
mircea_popescu: this is universally true. a lot of "work" was "put" into myspace. so ? nobody cares, nobody uses it. same is true of google, or of facebook.
mircea_popescu: maybe, vaguely, we might resurect something later that people who are really emotionalyl invested in their youth not having been wasted will misinterpret as "we took it from google".
mircea_popescu: before not caring about random fashion, one needn't even know it exists. there are really NO prerequisites to simply not including bad code, caring abotu stupid social conventions etc.
mircea_popescu: aha. hey, i'm a man of simple tastes. 120 tdw boat , dirigible... i always content myself with the very inaccessible.
mircea_popescu: who knows. fact is romania had it made in the shade, exporting skilled workers + machined parts in exchange for straight out concessions. had its own oil field which it sucked with its own rigs, oil moved on its own boats to its own refineries
mircea_popescu: how this came to pass is anyone's guess, but the arabs had a reputation for engineeringly inept.
mircea_popescu: "i wash sword in blood of enemies and dick in ass of their wives. what need has true man for water ?"

pete_dushenski: "Nega insists that Ethiopia has “cooked the books,” and that its growth rate is largely attributable to huge infrastructure projects and Western development aid, with little contribution from the private sector." << all to protect reputation of bahamas homeland
pete_dushenski: "Two months before Obama arrived, the government presided over what was widely considered a sham election, in which the ruling party won all 547 seats in Parliament, But Obama, making it clear that security trumped other concerns in the Horn of Africa, stood beside Meles’s successor, Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn, and described the government as being “democratically elected.”
