At higher experience levels, the number of XP between levels is so huge tha
mircea_popescu: t there is little point in blessing a potion before quaffing, because it's likely the only way you will level up is via potions and wraith corpses. For example, a 5th level character who drinks an uncursed potion would be set to 6th level at 320 XP, versus 480 with a blessed potion. The difference to reach 7th level is 320 (if uncursed was drunk) vs 160 (if blessed was drunk) which is an attainable goal. On the other hand, ab
mircea_popescu: ove the teens the character is often looking at the difference between 500,000 and 1,000,000 XP, neither of which are likely to be realized through normal adventuring, so blessing the potion makes little difference."

asciilifeform: (proper death is when privkey is blown publicly)
asciilifeform: not that the distinction is interesting in the given case.
shinohai: I'm not entirely unsure this won't be the case in future, since last time I checked she had started using keybase.io
shinohai: "Your privkey is totally safe with us!"
Framedragger: (i don't think keybase gets to see your privkey tho.)
asciilifeform: Framedragger: sure as hell it does
asciilifeform: (in one variant; always; in another - whenever they feel like serving up slightly different js to the chump)
Framedragger: hm.
Framedragger: if true, wow
Framedragger: asciilifeform: what do you mean, "slightly different js"? is there any point in time where you need to entrust your privkey to local js? i thought it was just a matter of giving it pubkeys and sigs?
trinque: she was clearly part of some inclusive ft meade hiring program
Framedragger: i've stayed away from keybase as it had that creepy (and useless) hipsta vibe, but if true, then it's actively malicious.
Framedragger: just curious.
trinque: go infiltrate teh hax0rs with your middle aged woman charms
asciilifeform: Framedragger: point is that wwwtronic crapolade can introduce arbitrary disjunction between what luser is doing and what he thinks he is doing.
Framedragger: asciilifeform: i'm not disagreeing, and of course that's true. but it's still one thing to trust js which, say, generates privkey for you and then promises not to send it the server, "pinky promise" like, and another whereby you paste signatures from external program
Framedragger: but if it has a "luzer friendly mode" where "you don't need to external app yo", then that's bad by itself. :/
asciilifeform: Framedragger: why would a user who is able to 'paste signatures from external program' need a thing like keybase ?
trinque: machine is labeled "dick blender" whether you fuck it or not
Framedragger: it says "add or create a PGP key" when registered. heh.
Framedragger: asciilifeform: well, you can link your social accounts, and stuff. I'M NOT SAYING THAT IT'S NOT STUPID, but there's additional value
asciilifeform: 'upload your privkey, or let us make a very very speshul one FOR YOU!'
trinque: Framedragger: what the fuck does that do
Framedragger: also, something about a virtual folder for sharing data with friends whose pgp keys you have? you just do echo "attack at dawn" > /something/friendname/secret.txt
Framedragger: not upload. jesus.
Framedragger: anyway. i'm not using keybase. i'm just sayin'.
trinque: you're saying what, exactly?
trinque: "but anyway?" ?
Framedragger: trinque: well, you then submit "proofs" (say tweets) which you can open to actually confirm a pgp signed message saying that "@isuckballs is my (gpg id: ...) twitter account."
Framedragger: trinque: that you can use it without having to trust js not to upload your privkey.
asciilifeform: pray tell, what does this 'prove' and to whom ?
trinque: use to what?!
Framedragger: ugh, no i need to be an advocate of keybase.
Framedragger: now*
trinque: look, that something "does something" and that being useful to the person doing are distinct
trinque: I roger verified my twitter and now twitter can't tweet as me?
Framedragger: look, obviously there are people for whom sociul media accountz are really important. some of them want to pretend they can use crypto, so they use keybase to help them "link" their accounts. while this is inane, this does not, in itself, pose a security risk, if done properly (with external program which handles your privkey.)
trinque: or did I just rub the pgp sauce on my twitter because it evokes a special feeling in my empty loins
trinque: the point is cozying people up to the idea of 3rd party facilitated crypto over time
trinque: and if they don't get your privkey today, they get it tomorrow
Framedragger: trinque: well, there's that. not gonna argue with that. i suppose you're right.
Framedragger: hmh.
Framedragger: okay, maybe.
Framedragger: i just don't like characterizations. (inb4 "but you don't defend when tmsr is characterised!1" << well, haven't seen much of the latter so far.)

mircea_popescu: Framedragger no, there aren't people to whom their social media accounts are really important, because there aren't people so that the "their" attribute may be applied to twitter's page.
mircea_popescu: you understand how logic works, yes, once you have a true->false in the chain you can obtain any results.
mircea_popescu: you might as well say "there are squares whose radii are larger than five". while arbitrary sized squares may in fact be constructed, squares still don't have radii and so you're still not saying something.

mircea_popescu: it is my point.

asciilifeform: 'Mr. Trump denied that his campaign had energized the so-called alt-right movement, saying he disavowed it. “It’s not a group I want to energize,” he said. “And if they are energized, I want to look into it and find out why.”'
mircea_popescu: lol
asciilifeform: ( from trinque's link )
asciilifeform: 'When Mr. Trump was asked whether he condemned an alt-right conference over the weekend in Washington, where some attendees raised their arms in a Hitler-like salute, he said, “I disavow and condemn them.”'
asciilifeform: ''He did tell me what he thought were the biggest problems, in particular one problem," Trump says. Won't say what that was.' << mega-lul

asciilifeform: i will be surprised if before the end of '17 'google chrome' and similar do not yet warn 'THIS NEWS SITE MAY BE FAEK', sorta how it now is beginning to do for ssl abstainers
mircea_popescu: and like the rest of their measures to date, this latest attempt to lift the rock with the rotten reed will result in more damage to the rotten reed.
mircea_popescu: "this news site may be faek" hurts google a lot more than it hurts qntra.
mircea_popescu: anyway, seeing how nowadays wikipedia refuses to serve over http (for no fucking reason whatsoever, who the shit cares already!), an entreprising fellow may simply bridge their content over to http
