asciilifeform: astonishing combo of 'he gets it' and 'wtf, schizo'
mircea_popescu: kinda how this goes.
asciilifeform: it is interesting also in re mircea_popescu's 'false freedoms of choice' concept -- d00d correctly grasps the retardation of ironfloat, but CANNOT seem to let go of it, 'must fix', ends up with 'socialism-with-humanface'-like abortion
mircea_popescu: funny how that goes.
asciilifeform: 'believe absurdity ? commit atrocity' -- or how it went.

a111: Logged on 2017-08-31 21:29 gabriel_laddel_p: now, I am 100% with ascii that floats have to die. no question. I, however, am severely undereducated & don't know what to replace them with.
asciilifeform: not hard concept .
mircea_popescu: it's not even a positive matter. machine can only have ints until we build a radically diff machine
asciilifeform: deterministic machine ( i.e. where it is not acceptable for output to vary with phase of the moon and which elvis track 'voice of america' is playing ) entails ints.
asciilifeform: sorta how the analogue comps went away.
mircea_popescu: nah, analogues went away for the new jersey reason. too slow.
mircea_popescu: if they were fast they'd still be here.
asciilifeform: for some problems, still champ
asciilifeform: they ARE still here. ( well, in asciilifeform's chamber of horrors, at least... )
mircea_popescu: aha
asciilifeform: and incidentally all comps are 'analogue'. engineer just breaks his back sweating to make the analoguity cancel out before you see it...
asciilifeform: ( FUCKGOATS in important sense was a reverse-gear of this process )
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: you can get op amps with multi-GHz slew rate
asciilifeform: GaAs even.
asciilifeform: problem is that in analogueistan, 2+2 do not make 4, but 4.0003588437865876 etc. and error MULTIPLIES.
mircea_popescu: not so much of a problem, finally got native reals.
mircea_popescu: above -- also true in java.

mircea_popescu: I MUST BE INDEMNIFIED FOR MY DETRIMENTAL RELIANCE ON THIS!
mircea_popescu: tell some rando dunning-kugerand that he's intellectually unqualified to do what he thinks he's doing, he'll count himself insulted.
mircea_popescu: the part where he ACTUALLY isn't so qualified not a problem.
kanzure: uhuh.
mircea_popescu: yes, you can tell whoever penned that i said so.
kanzure: that you said what?
mircea_popescu: can't build fucking "intellectual leadership" out of lazy rewrites out of the slime that comes out of tardstalk/reddit when squeezed.

asciilifeform: would.
asciilifeform: if indeed it is tru
mircea_popescu: actually whether true or false.
asciilifeform: if false, it's nobody's problem, neh
mircea_popescu: he could believe orcas fly through the (1900s version of) ethereum at the behest of a burning goat's skull ; for as long as this strange array of notions doesn't get in the way of his daily life it's called subclinical.
kanzure: nah i strictly hold myself in higher regard than mircea_popescu no worries there.
asciilifeform: by this formula, warmism is sub clinical in ~all cases
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform and many of the pantsuit other notions!
mircea_popescu: kinda the signature of that particular churchlet, they have a list of beliefs that are mostly chosen for being dull.
mircea_popescu: as in, no points of edges, nothing where they may end up caught by.
mircea_popescu: points or edges*
asciilifeform: this was typical of (late) christianity likewise tho
mircea_popescu: the two aren't even that distinguishable. as per discussion re progressivism of fundamental xtians etc.
asciilifeform: aha!
asciilifeform: and both will reliably 'trust in allah, but tie the camel' , and even buy oceanfront properties
mircea_popescu: as phf points out, a noisy engine that still runs nevertheless is still running.
asciilifeform: some engines produce ~nothing but the clatter tho
mircea_popescu: in the exact same vein : prostate cancer is common in older men, and also very little concern. it is so slow that the odds of anyone dying from it are negligible.
mircea_popescu: some doctors are hypocratic enough to point this out to the patients ; others want the insurance coupons. but anyway.
asciilifeform: there is indeed a world of new hurts waiting to be uncovered by the hurrdurrlifextension folx
mircea_popescu: incidentally, the deahtspital would be a very useful addition to the clinical system. open for ppl over 60, they give you a list of things. "hello mr smith. you're 68, and we can tell you that your kidneys will kill you in a decade, except your heart will get you before you're 75, and then there's this patch of skin cancer that needs like 20 years at your age. stay out of car crashes and sudden falls."
asciilifeform: we have this in usa
mircea_popescu: a ? pretty cool.
asciilifeform: with twist that d00d dun normally get to see the output
mircea_popescu: pshaw.
asciilifeform: insurance co internal
mircea_popescu: wtf is wrong with the us srsly now. who the fuck even cares other than the patient.
asciilifeform: usg, who.
mircea_popescu: "we aim to build a government out of trying to withhold all information from all those it is of any interest. WONT WE BE IMPORTANT THEN!"
asciilifeform: aha, it
mircea_popescu: nuts.
asciilifeform: upstack to 'subclinical' : for everyday d00dz, subclinical disease is a theoretical matter. but for one who fancies himself an athlete -- matters
asciilifeform: palpitations? no olympics for you , no army spec ops
asciilifeform: ditto for diseases of thought
mircea_popescu: notreally. in fact, for meathead subclinical neurosis is a disease of least concern.
mircea_popescu: he runs, or punches or whatever.
asciilifeform: warmist ? stop pretending to 'intellectual'
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: depends which disease.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform only in a view where matters of strategy are open to engineers. this is eminently not how the fiat farms are run.
asciilifeform: aside even from strategy.
BingoBoingo: !!deed http://wotpaste.cascadianhacker.com/pastes/jKlJ9/?raw=true
asciilifeform: plain engineering.
mircea_popescu: i dunno you need finely tuned, functional antennas to copy/paste github into "your" project.
asciilifeform: that ain't engineering, that'd be the warmist's simulacrum thereof
mircea_popescu: kinda how fiat shops are run irl.
asciilifeform: which is why you indeed see all the maculae of 1, where the other is
mircea_popescu: that and kubinetes. ask teh people who actually live in the west.

asciilifeform pictures when they 'extradited' asciilifeform , ended up dividing by 0 since he already lives in thebigzone
BingoBoingo: Anyways, since DIYbio became a fad on Monday: How many inches did everyone here add to their dicks?
asciilifeform: tru meathacker reasoneth not in inches; adds metres
BingoBoingo: Nah, go for bigger number
mircea_popescu: yeah totally, my dick is now best approximated by a high cocktose corn stalk, 8 meters long an' there's twelve different ears the hos can fuck themselves silly with on its generous girthy length
BingoBoingo: No reason for big unit if small number
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> yeah totally, my dick is now best approximated by a high cocktose corn stalk, 8 meters long an' there's twelve different ears the hos can fuck themselves silly with on its generous girthy length << If we made a mold and cast this in sillycone, this might sell

BingoBoingo: How many amps does tree eat?
asciilifeform: at one time, enough to blow the pole transformer
asciilifeform: but oddly enough city refused to cut

AlfredAlfer: I'm glad I'm free of the ironybros
AlfredAlfer: nice to be on Gab
danielpbarron: what is gab?
AlfredAlfer: fwaa it's the free speech twitter. You can say whatever you want and they won't ban you. ☟︎
AlfredAlfer: https://gab.ai/realemilyyoucis
danielpbarron: ya but i mostly use twitter to troll the people who would never use a gab
danielpbarron: otherwise i blog on my own site
BingoBoingo thought nick was a joke on alfname
AlfredAlfer: twitter was fun while it lasted but gab weeds out the bullshit
AlfredAlfer: you can't even really troll anyone without getting banned
AlfredAlfer: for me what did me in was a fat joke ☟︎
danielpbarron: a very funny joke at that. great way to go out
BingoBoingo: Eh, the best fat jokes are the fats themselves. Hamplanets thinking they are people. Oink Oink motherfuckers
BingoBoingo: Here's another fat joke: acanthosis nigricans
danielpbarron: AlfredAlfer, if you were to host your own blog, your banworthy stuff can get posted by other people who read it, and on whichever social media is fashionable at the time
AlfredAlfer: well they still could shut down my blog. They're making big leap now. It all started with Anglin's fat joke
danielpbarron: shut diwn how?
AlfredAlfer: The end of net neutrality is here and they're doing it all under the guise of 'stopping white supremacy'
AlfredAlfer: they're sneaking it up under us because of Anglin's fat joke
AlfredAlfer: first the Daily stormer, then the rest.
danielpbarron: if they could shut sites down, there wouldn't be a trilema
BingoBoingo: Eh, they are going to fail BECAUSE of white supremacy
AlfredAlfer: You don't know how they're forcing the DS to literally be wiped off the face of the internet? They've gone to several domains, all have been shut down. Even tor is blocking their traffec
AlfredAlfer: they should be doing these kinds of measures to pedophiles

trinque: there's a very long, ongoing thread on its specific design, but it builds upon the RSA cryptography asciilifeform mentioned.
AlfredAlfer: ahh yes gossipd
AlfredAlfer: so no matter what, people can gather and message there? Is it encrypted enough that google and shit can't read it? Or is it all public?
trinque: it is designed to not be a specific "there" at all, to any particular, singular public. information is routed along your trusted relationships, and is as good as your connections. like life.
trinque: easier to understand if one first understands the web of trust
asciilifeform: AlfredAlfer: consider how the proverbial 'terrorist cell' works.

asciilifeform: no cell knows about any others but its immediate neighbors.

asciilifeform: AlfredAlfer: so let's say you want to read , e.g., der sturmer. your let a friend's box know. the friend's -- yet again same, asks others. then ds box eventually reached, and passes text back up the chain to you.
asciilifeform: this is a gross oversimplification but must suffice for now.
asciilifeform: rsa is the insecticide against snoops on the wires, and likewise against enemy agents monkeying with the messages en route or impersonating source.
trinque: pulling from the other end, ds et al are using the technology a bunch of califag pantsuits made, and expecting it to work for other than pantsuit.
AlfredAlfer: Ah I see it's like a very direct transfer.. like a hall of mirrors
AlfredAlfer: hahhaha
AlfredAlfer: yes I must let them know there are other ways

AlfredAlfer: but I'm settled now
AlfredAlfer: Usually youtube, the basic shit. Though I just got a bitchute today since my yt is going to be removed shortly
cazalla: mircea_popescu, heya
mircea_popescu: AlfredAlfer well not getting shitty vps'en on obscure shithosts would help ; also not getting them one at a time ; and also not using fucking domain names. behold : http://91.218.246.33/
cazalla: BingoBoingo, np re: email
cazalla: AlfredAlfer, finally in the right place eh?
mircea_popescu: the fact that works and his shit didn't already is an indication of incompetence.

AlfredAlfer: I was hanging out with him recently

AlfredAlfer: If it's a numerical domain like the one you posted, can the masses still find it, though?
mircea_popescu: why not ? you found it...
AlfredAlfer: haha
AlfredAlfer: yea if it got around like that. A big part of the site's' success is just random passerbyers happing upon it though
mircea_popescu: the masses ALSO can find it by editing /etc/hosts and putting whatever number they want.
AlfredAlfer: I guess the numerical way is easier to access than having everyone download the onion tho
mircea_popescu: like in the case yest, all they needed was local resolution and it'd have worked (which is how i got the paste of his page even when people "Couldn't reach it")
mircea_popescu: AlfredAlfer absolutely lol. seeing how it's how the internet works in the first place.
AlfredAlfer: oh shite
AlfredAlfer: hahaa
AlfredAlfer: Can you send the paste?
mircea_popescu: the whole dns bullshit is just "convenience" built on top of the system, which then conveniently allows the pantsuits to play tricks like these, and idiots to believe in pantsuit power.

mircea_popescu: about same %

AlfredAlfer: I guess you're then planning to make the system as common as a fridge, correct?
trinque: tits.xxx -> dear mother government, where are the tits? -> 6.6.6.6

mircea_popescu: AlfredAlfer how much does your comissioned cartoon pay btw ?
AlfredAlfer: Yea you just gotta snazz it up a bit, add some clickbait and emoticons ; )
AlfredAlfer: Well I use the standard animator's rate
mircea_popescu: i dunno what that is.
AlfredAlfer: I secured the commission back when btc was at around 1200
AlfredAlfer: And since he's paying me in btc only, well, I'm getting a hell of a lot more than originally bargained
mircea_popescu: so how much is that ?
mircea_popescu: !!up AlfredAlfer
deedbot: AlfredAlfer voiced for 30 minutes.
AlfredAlfer: Well standard animator's rates is a grand per minute of framebyframe 24 fps animation
AlfredAlfer: It's not even that standard... that's kind of a lowball, but that's what I use
mircea_popescu: !~calc 1000 / 24 / 60
jhvh1: mircea_popescu: 1000 / 24 / 60 = 0.6944444444444444
mircea_popescu: so 70 cents a frame ?
AlfredAlfer: These guys getting hired by google and other shit can charge way more for crap animations lol
AlfredAlfer: oh wow when you put it like that that kinda sucks hahaha
mircea_popescu: are you bashful AlfredAlfer ?
AlfredAlfer: well since I secured this one when btc was about a 4th what it is now, I'm getting a bit more than 70 cents per frame
AlfredAlfer: yea I can be a bit bashful teehee
mircea_popescu: http://trilema.com/2014/ill-pay-for-your-tits/ << might be worth considering.

mircea_popescu: cazalla they had that guy in the tower!
mircea_popescu: AlfredAlfer why, you wanna visit ?
AlfredAlfer: But I wouldn't consider it larping. Helmets and shields are necessary when you're getting acid thrown in your eyes.
AlfredAlfer: Well I've never been to the islands
mircea_popescu: costa rica is... not an island.
AlfredAlfer: whoops
trinque: was I larping when I sent some dindus away from my door couple months ago?

AlfredAlfer: no not in real life

mircea_popescu: cute*
AlfredAlfer: you're lucky you have so many tropical friends
mircea_popescu: it's skill.
AlfredAlfer: OOh my clockwork orange torrent has finished downloading
mircea_popescu: o btw, whadda ya think of my cartoon header ?
mircea_popescu: inb4 "it sucks, too much white space"
AlfredAlfer: Oh it's very nice. Who is the artist?
mircea_popescu: romanian girl, linked somewhere.
mircea_popescu: lessee
AlfredAlfer: speaking of clockwork orange I released a new song today https://www.bitchute.com/video/YCbQhfPrajo4/
mircea_popescu: won't play for me ;/
AlfredAlfer: F
mircea_popescu: say, do you do poem readings ?
AlfredAlfer: hmm it's playing for me, others have listened
AlfredAlfer: what do you think of bitchute? Is it impenetrable?
mircea_popescu: well, i think it sucks, because i can't play their content.
AlfredAlfer: why can't you?
AlfredAlfer: you can't get to any vid or just this one?
mircea_popescu: because it's a layered shitcake of bs formats and crap. what was the original item, an ogg ? mp3 ? what ?
AlfredAlfer: h264
AlfredAlfer: hmm. lol layered shitcake.
mircea_popescu: so mpeg4. why not you know, just have a simple link, http:/eyoucis.fuckyou/this-song.mpeg ?
AlfredAlfer: But is it impenetrable nonetheless? It's decentralized
mircea_popescu: wtf is "decentralized" even mean, it's a website.
AlfredAlfer: that won
AlfredAlfer: link won't work
AlfredAlfer: well , I still have much to learn with all these definitions
trinque: looks like they bolted it to bittorrent some way
AlfredAlfer: The only thing I've seen before that I thought would be an alternate internet was maidsafe, but it doesn't seem to be making any moves
mircea_popescu: and by the looks of it, it's made by trhe same spammers from advance publications that onw all the rest of the pointless "segmented" spamsites. from vice to women-shoes-in-michigan.com
cazalla: i'm off, parental stuff.. AlfredAlfer, i'd encourage you to spend more time here and/or reading logs, you will find actual solutions here, altright is lulzfest but even that has died down now due to taking themselves super 1488 seriously
mircea_popescu: "terms". here's a pro tip AlfredAlfer : if a website has "terms" it's shit.

trinque: cya caz
mircea_popescu: trinque check their lulz dns announcement btw. round robin of same ips.
AlfredAlfer: yes, I look forward to learning all about this
AlfredAlfer: oh no, >coder >her
mircea_popescu: anyway. no, i don't expect it's "impenetrable" in any sense.
trinque: look mother, am cyberpunk
mircea_popescu: AlfredAlfer are you poor ?
danielpbarron: hey some of the best are women. see: eulora
trinque: for the same milage you could stick a torrent on your own site and seed, if you want people to help you with bandwidth
mircea_popescu: ^
mircea_popescu: much more impenetrable.
AlfredAlfer: Am I poor? Well that's all relative, haha.
mircea_popescu: AlfredAlfer the correct solution here is to pay 1-200 per month for a dedicated server in a sane jurisdiction (ie, outside of nato). make sure you get a chunk of ips with it, then host all your shit. ☟︎
AlfredAlfer: Why the fuck isn't the stormer doing that
AlfredAlfer: they get more than enough money
mircea_popescu: unless you're poor, this is the minimum bar of what you do. you pay rent for a house irl, and a smaller rent for a house on the net.
mircea_popescu: because they've no clue.
AlfredAlfer: you're saying you can buy your own individual server outside of nato?
mircea_popescu: yes.
AlfredAlfer: wtf
mircea_popescu: and once you have that, and especially if you're present here, you are indeed impenetrable, because people will help.
AlfredAlfer: how do they not know this. I mean I'm technologically incompetent but weev should know that
mircea_popescu: such as with archival/disemination/elasticization and other such topics.
AlfredAlfer: when you say help do you mean with security?
mircea_popescu: many people don't know many things that they should know. it's kinda what nato even means by now, "you have this but not that ?!?!"
mircea_popescu: for instance.
AlfredAlfer: yea I guess most of it's hidden in plain site
AlfredAlfer: well I know for a fact the stormer gets way more than that much money per month
trinque: in usd, I'm sure. and they want to go spend that at the mall.
AlfredAlfer: I thought *they* could access anything they pleased.. find their way into any server.. but indeed, there are ones they cannot access
mircea_popescu: consider : when i put http://trilema.com/2017/the-life-and-times-of-fna/ in the log earlier, the bot archived it, so now it's at http://archive.is/L1Up3
mircea_popescu: this happens automatically, because we said so at some point. similar measures can be taken to further expand defenses indefinitely.
AlfredAlfer: I see
AlfredAlfer: but isn't the archive also located on the same server?
mircea_popescu: nope.
mircea_popescu: and there's also private archives and all sorts of things.
AlfredAlfer: where is it? somewhere else they can access tho, right?
mircea_popescu: the republic is vast and far reaching.
AlfredAlfer: mmm. I bet the pantsuits are stuck in 3 cyberspace dimensions, meanwhile you guys are on like 6
mircea_popescu: all i got to say to that being http://trilema.com/2016/to-be-clear-hillary-clinton-lost-the-presidential-election-on-june-16th-2016/
AlfredAlfer: LOlolOl
AlfredAlfer: well that's quite comforting
mircea_popescu: now do me a favour and make yourself a rsa key.
AlfredAlfer: I shall. It's pretty late over here, but I have all of the articles and info you guys sent me open in tabs that will open up as soon as I wake up tomorrow.
mircea_popescu: cool.
AlfredAlfer: I need a fresh brain and a helping hand to do these keys
AlfredAlfer: I'm very excited to learn more
mircea_popescu: peeps'll help.
AlfredAlfer: : )
mircea_popescu: ah, i dun recall what you said, do you read poems ?
AlfredAlfer: Oh - I can, I can read anything. I'm very good at vocal expressions.
AlfredAlfer: Have a decent mic too.
mircea_popescu: AlfredAlfer http://trilema.com/2015/stop-all-the-clocks-again/ << this is looking for expressing.

AlfredAlfer: I could certainly do it

mircea_popescu: shoot
AlfredAlfer: Could you give me instructions on how the DS can get an impenetrable domain, through your services or others, that I can relay to weev?
mircea_popescu: well he could just come here and im sure we'll set him up.
AlfredAlfer: ooo
mircea_popescu: iirc danielpbarron was trying to arrange something in that vein a few days ago but he never showed.
AlfredAlfer: Okay, I'll tell him. Oh yes, Dan was the one that got me here. Well I talk to weev regularly so I should be able to coax him
danielpbarron: no that was her
mircea_popescu: oh oh.
AlfredAlfer: Oohhh
AlfredAlfer: no worries, I'll ask him myself.
mircea_popescu: AlfredAlfer it's not like it's hard or something. have him drop by, it'll get sorted out.
mircea_popescu: provided he doesn't go "fuck! why didn't i think of that!" when you show him the convo.
AlfredAlfer: Cool.
AlfredAlfer: HAhahha. I did screenshot some of the solutions you wrote, if you didn't mind.
mircea_popescu: you can just link to the log, like i do.

mircea_popescu: AlfredAlfer why not ? what, it's shameful to have tits or something ?
mircea_popescu: AlfredAlfer it's 0.02. two bitcents. see ? so you can say "here's my two... bitcents".
AlfredAlfer: Lol i told you that would be a bomb the internet would not soon forget.
AlfredAlfer: Lol
mircea_popescu: they forgot boxxy...

AlfredAlfer: define root?
AlfredAlfer: sry I'm pretty much good at after effects and flash and have no clue about anything else
mircea_popescu: if you say trilema.com/ that's the root. if you say trilema.com/blabla/bla-bla/ that's two down from root.
AlfredAlfer: oh i see i see
mircea_popescu: first / is the root.
AlfredAlfer: so no one can shut down trilema
mircea_popescu: ah, they try now and again.
AlfredAlfer: even if they started targeting you tomorrow and made a dedicated quest
AlfredAlfer: never succeed? Ever make a dent?
mircea_popescu: but... it's been around for years. it broke the cables story. it broke the fetlife lists. it...
mircea_popescu: there's a reason the pantsuit ignore it.
AlfredAlfer: ohohoho
mircea_popescu: there's a lot of history you don't know.
AlfredAlfer: you must really be the big threat then
AlfredAlfer: Ohhh hh i'm sure you could fill my head for weeks and I wouldn't know a fraction
mircea_popescu: can always read the back logs. prolly instructive.

mircea_popescu: kinda the same principle.
AlfredAlfer: hahhaha
AlfredAlfer: myep
AlfredAlfer: such babies. with their baby fiat.
mircea_popescu: "i'm the 2nd prettiest girl in school... well in my class... well, according to my friends at least. AND THIS MATTERS AND MEANS SOMETHING!"
AlfredAlfer: then they go to college and realize they're just another plane jane in a sea of 8's
AlfredAlfer: (if it's not an american college)
mircea_popescu: from what i hear they've gotten pretty pudgy in college these days.
AlfredAlfer: I guess in that case trilema would be about a 17 on the 10 scale
mircea_popescu: used to be fuckfest of all time, but by now it's kinda more like... too much work to roll over.
AlfredAlfer: you're so out of their league they can't even fathom you
AlfredAlfer: eew
AlfredAlfer: basically college is camp to make girls ugly and fat
mircea_popescu: pity.
AlfredAlfer: I'm lucky i made it out as well as I did
mircea_popescu: o, you went to college ? i thought you sold peanuts!
AlfredAlfer: it's the food poison... go to s korea where there is no food poison, where the girls are dainty and light and sweet and young
AlfredAlfer: yea that's what a degree will get you these days
mircea_popescu: costa rica's not bad.
AlfredAlfer: I started doing peanuts junior year
AlfredAlfer: oh yea i'm sure you got your fair share of thi ccccc latinas
mircea_popescu: well yes because they eat crap. but you don't have to.
AlfredAlfer: *pistachios, tho. They only downgraded to peanuts when the phillies really started suckin'
mircea_popescu: very fine steaks and things, if one can afford.
AlfredAlfer: thi cccc latinas are nice tho, i'm not complaining
mircea_popescu: o, you dig girls ?
AlfredAlfer: No, I'm totally straight
AlfredAlfer: I like men
mircea_popescu: i don't.
AlfredAlfer: but i can appreciate the female form
mircea_popescu: i c!
AlfredAlfer: yea we all can, it's nothing new
AlfredAlfer: i like korean girls
mircea_popescu: well, other than being kinda short, there's plenty of form.
mircea_popescu: i don't!
AlfredAlfer: you know I ran off to S Korea after getting doxed
mircea_popescu: how was it ?
AlfredAlfer: during when Kim was really threatening to nuke Seoul
AlfredAlfer: It was an absolute dream
AlfredAlfer: A functioning ethnostate
mircea_popescu: see, if you had your own space on the web you could show me the articles now.
AlfredAlfer: clean, no bums, respectable people.. and the girls took pride in their appearance
AlfredAlfer: growing up around slovenly sows in america, it's quite jarring to be amongst Korean women
mircea_popescu: doesn't sound too bad.
AlfredAlfer: kinda makes you feel like hsit
AlfredAlfer: food is amazing, and everywhere though. I don't know how they stay so slim.
mircea_popescu: im not so crazy abouyt azn food. other than sushi. and some indian.
mircea_popescu: and kimchi.
AlfredAlfer: Seoul isn't just asian tho.. it's like everything. They've mastered the food. They do fine fried chicken. Better than the blacks.
mircea_popescu: and i suppose im full of it, i like azn food just fine. well, minus the stupid shit where they add sugar.
AlfredAlfer: I <3 <3 <3 sushiiii
mircea_popescu: it's better here than in korea, tho. pretty sure.

mircea_popescu: AlfredAlfer do you understant how pantsuit "AI" works ?
AlfredAlfer: yea I know
AlfredAlfer: like their fake AI robots that they pretend are all super-intelligent?
AlfredAlfer: not exactly
mircea_popescu: let's go into detail.
AlfredAlfer: ok
mircea_popescu: so, if i show you two items, an apple and an orange, and i tell you they're all "Fruit" and ask you why, you might say "because they're all round". this is not correct.
AlfredAlfer: mmhm
mircea_popescu: but the google "ai" works exactly in this manner : show a large matrix a bunch of different pics, and then see what got fished up, so to speak.
AlfredAlfer: so it would see heather heyer and think she was a fruit

mircea_popescu: this actually happens, you flip the pixels it "learned" and it sees the fridge and says cat. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: because it didn't actually learn anything. it's exact equivalent of exam stuffing, implemented by computers.

AlfredAlfer: all my heroes humiliate women
mircea_popescu: you know, the reddit guiys would never guess, but actually a lot of girls do ?
AlfredAlfer: women have an internal drive to be humiliated
mircea_popescu: quite possibly.
AlfredAlfer: anyway, I'm not one of those sickos or anything, I'm not into weird shit

mircea_popescu: i should have said "The 50 contiguous sads", but anyway.
AlfredAlfer: both are funny
AlfredAlfer: the united sads of america
mircea_popescu: anyway. the rabbit died cuz i killed it.
AlfredAlfer: F
AlfredAlfer: I thought perhaps it related to the AI conversation in that someone programmed a bot to kill such and such creature by identifying certain pixels and it mistook the rabbit for what it was supposed to kill
mircea_popescu: nah. unrelated.

asciilifeform: trinque: because it is very difficult to murder with no trace a thing to which all of the apparent alternatives are spike cones.
asciilifeform: and the problem has applications elsewhere ( dictating rsa keys over voice etc )
trinque: but "I want the page with hash H"
trinque: and whichever peers have it or don't
asciilifeform: shouting hex digits is lame.
trinque: peers may even say "here's what I think dailysturmer is" and you go pick a hash to use
asciilifeform: and makes poor use of not only bandwidth but the frontbrain which is sitting right there.
trinque: which yes means every single update to ds index page has to flow through someone you know gossiptronically for you to know about it

trinque: the hash says what item I want ☟︎
asciilifeform: there is no WHO separate from pubkey.
trinque: no shit eh?
trinque: but then that station goes down and I wanted an item from it; then what?
asciilifeform: then as trinque said.
asciilifeform: it goes down, the answer to your query of its pubkey is mu until goes back up, neh
asciilifeform: how else
trinque: I said how else.
trinque: how the p2p networks, gnutella et al, worked, but routed over gossipd wotnet
asciilifeform: aa in the sense of dht
trinque: yessir, dht atop what you're talking about would be quite robust to this whole "hurr durr took down the website FBI logo srs"
asciilifeform: ( i use one of these ~daily, 'kademlia' )
asciilifeform: 'gimme ff143abcd...' 'hereitis'/'nobodygotit'
asciilifeform: the tricky bit is how to propagate these without ending up with 'no individual node gives anything to allcomers, yes, but allcomer can ring the whole world as a bell and it never stops'
trinque: and yes would kill the "dynamic web" thing which, what the fuck, it's hypertext not a program, even if a program generated the hypertext.
asciilifeform: kad did this with traditional 'time to live' but that is promisetronic ultimately
asciilifeform: trinque: 'www server should serve statics' is great until you realize that you use phf's search box every day and it's a dynamicism
asciilifeform: what nao.
asciilifeform: see the 'phuctor as a static www' thread
trinque: wot.deedbot.org serves statics.
trinque: even the search
asciilifeform: how's that work ?
asciilifeform: ( how does POST work statically ?? )
trinque: anything you're using as a search index can exist as some file with a hash your DHTinator could pull itself and look at on your end.
asciilifeform: substrings, trinque -- what happens when i type 'anything you're using as a search index can exist' string into your search ?
asciilifeform: describe plox the algo
trinque: are we really trying to preserve every idiotic misuse of hypertext here? ☟︎
asciilifeform: fulltext search is not a misuse
trinque: by your line of questioning kad can't search
asciilifeform: how do i make a phuctor at all with your algo ? ( how do users submit a key ?? )
trinque: by sending you a key over gossipd
asciilifeform: kad can only search by hash of entire parcel.
trinque: where does hypertext come into that, except "SOP"
asciilifeform: trinque: so we're contemplating a separation of reads and writes into unlike protocols ?
asciilifeform: ( this is not necessarily a bad idea, but i'd like to hear moar re how )
trinque: exactly how wot.deedbot.org works neh?
trinque: eats via bot
trinque: maybe bot's offline, can't eat
trinque: so yes, if wot.deedbot.org were on gossipd it'd eat by bot attached to particular station, maybe redundant somehow, but leaving that aside, this contemplated DHT could still make particular states of the thing redundant past the the death of trinque
asciilifeform: trinque: lemme confess to you the context : i recently took a break from $usual to write an ada www server, and quickly barfed. because thought 'and what, it also gotta handle POSTs, and quickly becomes asinine mess of horror'
asciilifeform: but say it DIDN'T handle posts...
asciilifeform: let's work out a concrete example
trinque: hypertext's an inert datastructure, gives you a graph to crawl over while reading. why's it gotta be an interactive program aside that usecase?
trinque: there was a very recent thread re: this
asciilifeform: let's take http://phuctor.nosuchlabs.com/gpgkey/DDDE667282B355D21D9F0E3505442E332AB082F487BFFC440034D11D636FD6A7 , well-known lulzgem.
asciilifeform: how would you convert this to trinque-addressing scheme without losing functionality ?
asciilifeform: ( or, alternatively, what functionality would you have phuctor lose ? )
trinque: lets say it's phuctored again. your station broadcasts to whoever it cares to tell, a particular identifier unique within your station now points to a new hash.
trinque: my station hears, can ask you for the goods.
asciilifeform: forget the pushing variant. i want to put a handle on a particular pgpkey or pgpfp into the l0gz. what does that look like ?
trinque: folks can now ask me whether I have a particular hash, but can only know you meant it to mean "mahmood-anal-perforation-7" if they know you, or if you signed the fact that it is
trinque: it looks like the hash of an item, and whatever thing is showing me logs either knows what it is, or doesn't
asciilifeform: to reformulate : how do i refer to an index into a db that is indexable by more than one column ?
asciilifeform: phuctor deals in TWO types of hash
trinque: no multiple columns; one hash and it's upon the reader to be able to find the item or not.
asciilifeform: ahahahahaha procrustes thx but no thx, plz play again
asciilifeform: without procrustation this time
trinque: eh I have lost interest by now.
asciilifeform: it's an actual open problem, wat
asciilifeform: i'd like to see it solved.
asciilifeform: ( and not defined away, but solved. )
trinque: you're going to have to point out to me where link-by-hash fails then
trinque: and why my reader, being able to resolve hashes of items ~or not~ based on what my station knows, and peer stations tell me.
asciilifeform: it fails because -- in the particular example i gave -- it ain't 1:1
trinque: your aliases for items which identify membership of the item in some set *are themselves items which your station publishes, individually*
trinque: you belch out facts, rest of the world can either hear you or not, can either confirm you said them or not. or wtf was gossipd again?
asciilifeform: trinque: you're mixing layers. basic mechanics of gossiptron is not in dispute, q was re how to query a db by more than 1 possible index col
trinque: why do you wish to express querying in terms of a hypertext interface at all?
trinque: !!gettrust deedbot asciilifeform
deedbot: L1: 1, L2: 10 by 10 connections.
asciilifeform: trinque: q is re what a 'url' ( or what we call it instead ) really ~is~
asciilifeform: is it a locative ? or an immutable ☟︎
trinque: as locative, it's not doing so hot.
asciilifeform: consider, for sake of argument, curl http://wot.deedbot.org/29F5BC967632415AB9836DB63E452A7A2A00DEC1.html | sha512sum today gives me 19a66977545747f383eccd6f570270a77cd620aa011651c94e777992ee63b08a30052eff4045e672c2387ebfbd18509e5c29a1a247fadcfebf3828dc02789b25
trinque: and URL as some kind of query language is abominable
asciilifeform: but tomorrow could be something else, if the ratings change
asciilifeform: trinque: the thing behind that url is ephemeral by nature.
asciilifeform: the only meaningful way to represent it is by listing the input operands which produced it ( in this case, the fp arg )
asciilifeform: just same as with the phuctor example
asciilifeform: just like http://phuctor.nosuchlabs.com/gpgkey/DC02BECF037180105CA079586B51212366B61A8CD3BB5992FD2F90CF9FC7D6C5 , a d00d whose key is unbroken, the page can have potentially very different output the ~next~ time you read it
trinque: yes. my station told you that wot.deedbot.org/arbitrarystringforsakeofargument.html means 19a66977545747f383eccd6f570270a77cd620aa011651c94e777992ee63b08a30052eff4045e672c2387ebfbd18509e5c29a1a247fadcfebf3828dc02789b25
trinque: and tomorrow you ask and it says new hash, and maybe even gives you the hashed item, how nice
trinque: and as I describe things the gossipdnet now has, if it wants, a history of what its seen, and a way to refer to it.
asciilifeform: trinque: might i persuade you to write the algo out ? in longhand
trinque: alright
asciilifeform: ( sorta like my http://therealbitcoin.org/ml/btc-dev/2017-February/000257.html item , for instance )
asciilifeform: more pedantic -- the merrier
asciilifeform: i promise to read.
trinque: sure, will write.
asciilifeform: incidentally ted nelson struggled with this conundrum, and imho his failure to produce anything looked like a solution, is 1 of the reasons why he was relegated to 'voice in wilderness' rather than getting to define www

ben_vulpes: http://trilema.com/2017/no-such-labs-snsa-july-2017-statement/#selection-433.15-433.70
asciilifeform: there are no plans to peg the price, however, to a fixed quantity of usd, or troy of gold, or pounds of grain, or any other babylonian metric.,
asciilifeform: because why.
Barbarossa_: kinda strange to use BTC as unit of account already, no?
asciilifeform: why it strange, and usd -- not ?
Barbarossa_: variance
asciilifeform: 1 btc is worth 1 btc today -- just as in 2009
trinque: ikr, usd loses value all the time. serious variance.
asciilifeform: so what variance
asciilifeform: 'time flows at 1 second per second ' (tm)(r)
Barbarossa_: don't get me wrong: I'm mostly just trying to wrangle for an even cheaper implementation of gold standard entropy (despite not being a joo)
asciilifeform: Barbarossa_: technically you can get it for exactly what it costs us -- make it yerself from the schematics
Barbarossa_: ye, division of labor and all that
asciilifeform: however, the difference b/w what ~that~ costs, and what we charge, is denominated in btc.
ben_vulpes: Barbarossa_: jewdom is a state of mind
Barbarossa_: damnit, guess I'm a self-loathing crytoJOO after all :(
Barbarossa_: crypto*
asciilifeform: Barbarossa_: to shed more light on (entirely not seekrit) price structure -- to pay for producing a device, btc is spent. then it gotta be earned back.
ben_vulpes: hey it could be worse, you could be cryojewnic
hanbot: Barbarossa_ if you own tits in some capacity you could always apply the proceeds of http://trilema.com/2014/ill-pay-for-your-tits/ to your order eh
asciilifeform: btc earned back. not -- pointedly -- usd, or dubloons, or grain.
asciilifeform: it does 0 good to earn back something other than the btc that was spent. because snsa operates in btc.
asciilifeform: does this make sense ?
ben_vulpes: how is s.nsa earning the btc back with the price cuts? were materials not paid for in btc many moons past?
Barbarossa_: yup; tbh I'd pay 3x what you're charging
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: the answer lies -- megasurprise -- in the broadcasts.
asciilifeform: Barbarossa_: waiwat -- you'd pay 3x, but not the current price ?!
asciilifeform: you're welcome to send in 3x the btc !
asciilifeform: and specify 'no thx i only want 1 box'
Barbarossa_: I mostly just wanted to bring up FUCKGOATS coz I'm so happy that it exists
asciilifeform: why ty Barbarossa_
asciilifeform: Barbarossa_: consider introducing yourself ? who are you ? already own a fg ?
Barbarossa_: no - my PGP keys were all generated on a diddled wintel box
Barbarossa_: I'm a professsional poker player from the UK ☟︎
asciilifeform: i expect a pokerist would have something to say re rng, aha
Barbarossa_: but I'm in the process of getting trb/linux/FG and all that
asciilifeform: Barbarossa_: you should definitely stick around until mircea_popescu wakes up
Barbarossa_: well, 6 riffle shuffles are enough for us ;) ☟︎
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu is co-author of fg.
asciilifeform: ( and many other nice things )
Barbarossa_: Pokerstars, the largest site, uses a semi-transparent mirror for entropy
Barbarossa_: dunno how practical that'd be for a FG-type device tho
asciilifeform: the problem with that method, as with many others, is the ~measurement~ apparatus
asciilifeform: analogue effects in practice suck for proper rng
asciilifeform: because of adc artifacts.
Barbarossa_: ye, the key advantage to FG being auditability
asciilifeform: correct
asciilifeform: i experimented with many types of rng.
Barbarossa_: me too
Barbarossa_: run-good AND run-bad :D
asciilifeform: i rejected all physical effects which require an adc
asciilifeform: because there is NO such thing as a zero-artifact adc.
asciilifeform: and they all suffer from the equivalent of lcd moire
asciilifeform: ( sampling artifact )
asciilifeform: also rejected all effects which require high voltages, because voltagemultipliers contain oscillator

asciilifeform: aha.
Barbarossa_: I've been using GPG assuming it's sound
asciilifeform: a replacement is in the works here.
Barbarossa_: true philanthropy!
asciilifeform: not so much from philanthropy, as from the fact of gpg being rather like the sarcophagus at chernobyl, times 9000

ben_vulpes: fg from ft meade!
asciilifeform: so if mircea_popescu is paying ben_vulpes 10 dubloons per diem to guard his plutonium stash, it does not follow that this is 'above market' just because there is a queue of redditors offering to do it for 1 dubloon
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: all fg should be assumed to pass through ftmeade. sorta what the audit process is for, neh.
ben_vulpes: well yeah

asciilifeform: for that matter, maybe ~asciilifeform~ does. but you have to ~add~ P(one) to P(the other)...
ben_vulpes: could be!

Barbarossa_: iirc I read it on their official blog, but this was a couple years back
asciilifeform: which contains not only no proof of anything, but not even an assertion re what exactly they supposedly use
Barbarossa_: they claimed to fire photons at a semi-transparent mirror hosted somewhere in the Isle of Man
asciilifeform: 'We submitted extensive information about our random number generator (RNG) to an independent organization. We asked this trusted resource to perform an in-depth analysis of the randomness of the output of the RNG, and its implementation in the shuffling of the cards on our platform.' ☟︎
Barbarossa_: they made/make no pretensions as to verifiability
Barbarossa_: gambers gonna gamble regardless
asciilifeform: Barbarossa_: there are commercial rng that use interferometer, yes ( NONE of them auditable by owner, in fact many epoxied and otherwise artificially painful to examine )

asciilifeform: this does not actually solve the problem of proving that the output of prng was not known in advance to one or more of the players. ☟︎
asciilifeform: claiming trng is unprovable. they might have a fg, or they might have a wad of bytes generated in 2014 and designated winners get a copy.

trinque: specifically publishing is a separate concern from the rest, and would benefit from the fault tolerance proposed.

mircea_popescu: but in fact my quering for http://btcbase.org/log/2017-09-01 is a double request : "give me all the lines from the log that fit "2017-09-01" mask, ie from http://btcbase.org/log/2017-09-01#1707983 to http://btcbase.org/log/2017-09-01#1709360 or w/e.

trinque: *aren't
trinque: it's a fact there's a log line, and also a fact a phfnode said about it, I saw at time T
asciilifeform: trinque: the other thing, if you are going to put entire weight of the known universe on a hash, gotta specify what happens in case of a collision.
asciilifeform: because it's a when, not an if.
asciilifeform: this is kinda why asciilifeform isn't overly fond of hashing .
asciilifeform: it is a type of fractionalreservebanking.
asciilifeform: worx great until actually pressed to capacity and then suddenly worx not at all.
trinque: can still sign the material pointed to by the hash, if worried.
asciilifeform: that's just another hash.
asciilifeform: point of concern is the indexer -- it has nfi re the signatures or any such detail
asciilifeform: it takes a hash and gives back a warez ( or opposite )

trinque: there is no "the indexer"

asciilifeform: there ain't no such thing as fulltext signing if fulltext is bigger than your modulus ( and padding also takes space )
mircea_popescu: but there is. blocks.
asciilifeform: and how do you prevent rearrangement ?
mircea_popescu: count.
asciilifeform: what means count
mircea_popescu: block 1 : blabla. signed. block 2 : hurrdurr. signed.
asciilifeform: if you split into chunks and sign each chunk, enemy can shuffle'em
mircea_popescu: final block : yadda yadda. signed.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you sign a more complex construct.
asciilifeform: and enemy takes fullblock, block1, and block2 and rearranges on the wire and naowat.
asciilifeform: what means 'more compact construct'
asciilifeform: if not... a hash.
mircea_popescu: nao you re-arrange by the count.
asciilifeform: let's work example ?
mircea_popescu: let's take as sample text "what means 'more compact construct'".
asciilifeform: aite. your block size is 5.
asciilifeform: what are the blocks ?
mircea_popescu: signed material looks as follows : 0001what 0faadd0002means8391240004 'moraff02930005...ffffuct'ajk40009a435aad
mircea_popescu: and you know 9 blocks were signed, and they are as such :
asciilifeform: enemy takes your 0001what someotherdays00002 moraff02930005 .... etc and yer phucked
asciilifeform: he now has an 'alphabet' of signed chunkolade
mircea_popescu: 0001what someotherdays does not check out against faadd
asciilifeform: why not ?
asciilifeform: he takes chunks from diff occasions.
mircea_popescu: because faad is the signature for "0001what " not for "0001otherwhat"
asciilifeform: there is nothing hard-linking the chunks to your particular transmission.
mircea_popescu: the final bit is, yes.
asciilifeform: what's the final bit ?
mircea_popescu: are you pressing me to say "a hash" ?
asciilifeform: well what else is it called.
asciilifeform: can call bzortl if you want.
asciilifeform: but on my planet -- hash.
mircea_popescu: a... digest :D
asciilifeform: lol
trinque: lol
mircea_popescu: i see what you mean, but you've no legs to stand on. suppose each successive block is a successive hash.
mircea_popescu: message-block...chain.
mircea_popescu: "yes, enemy has alphabet of chunks : he knows how to sign ilif every time it comes after asci and is 2nd in ther chain"
trinque: doesn't that successfuly diminish the likelihood of a usable collision?
mircea_popescu: yes.
trinque: *successively.
mircea_popescu: and it's not even the only technique.
asciilifeform: we already established that a hash collision is asteroid event for blockchain. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: just spur of the moment.
asciilifeform: ( old thread )
mircea_popescu: and besides, with a settable hash like mpfhf you can use different size hashes all the time.
mircea_popescu: "hurr durr we know how to sign "cocksucker" whenever they use 93 bit outputs. which is... not now."
asciilifeform: there is no place for blank cheques in network protocol.
mircea_popescu: and by no means mpfhf only settable. keccak will work also.
asciilifeform: gotta fixedtimespace.
mircea_popescu: so, message as chain of message blocks, with acordeon, settable hash. yes it is "possible" to get a collision. if your hash is 512bytes long... not soon.
asciilifeform: hash collisions cannot be fixed by 'we use THIS OTHER hash NAO! haha' because now enemy can monkey with the past.
asciilifeform: the past has no 'now'
mircea_popescu: nobody forces us to use the 32/64 byte crap nsit likes.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform LONGER hashes.
asciilifeform: yes but you cannot retro-elongate hashes of the past.
mircea_popescu: so who cares.
mircea_popescu: there's no shits given re tmsa-rsa-signature being retrocompatible.
asciilifeform: anyone verifying a freshly synced node?!
asciilifeform: cares.
mircea_popescu: i don't follow.
asciilifeform: i dun mean 'retrocompatible with usg', i mean -- with self.
mircea_popescu: we're talking of different things in the sense you went off on a tangent.
mircea_popescu: the important point is : acordeon hash function set up to spit 256 byte or 512 byte hashes WILL NOT collide.
mircea_popescu: because

asciilifeform: i don't see a zero
mircea_popescu: e 77, you understand me.
asciilifeform: that ain't a zero.
mircea_popescu: e 77 is how you say zero on earth.
asciilifeform: and nobody promised you a fair roulette here.
asciilifeform: there is NO theoretical proof of strength for any hash algo
asciilifeform: just as there is not for block cipher.
asciilifeform: they are vooodoo.
mircea_popescu: we'l;l soon enough have a practical one.
asciilifeform: 0 proof of strength.
trinque: penultimate worst case is that folks republish their items in the case of hashpocalypse. and they tell their trusted peers. and it propagates over wot.
mircea_popescu: tell you what, i also have no proof in your sense the slavegirls ain't cheating on me.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i did not say 'let's all quit using hashes', nao
trinque: worst case is the original publisher is dead, and all you've got are whoever cared about him.
asciilifeform: but did say 'fractional reserve'
asciilifeform: which is IS.
trinque: and they republish what they've got. like all history.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the fraction is so small as to be below heisenberg limits. this matters.
asciilifeform: only if it's an ideal roulette
asciilifeform: and not a 'year is 2020 and keccak broke'
mircea_popescu: huge difference between sub-heisenberg fractional and super-heisenberg fractional.
mircea_popescu: gotta find out somehow.
asciilifeform: in other walks of life, when, e.g., building bridge, there is a notion of material strength
asciilifeform: you know roughly how much stress a thing can take, before you put stress on it
asciilifeform: we have no such thing for hash.
asciilifeform: ( and i say this after making 'v', where proposed to put all of human knowledge to sit on hash! lol )
mircea_popescu: for the record, si heisenberg limit is 10^-34
asciilifeform: i'd like to find what trinque had in mind re accounting for collisions. ( but let's encourage him to put it in the article! )
asciilifeform: btw mircea_popescu it so happens that i have what looks like a solution to 'sign a TB with a 4096bit key with no hash'
asciilifeform: or rather not i have one, but
asciilifeform: luby has one. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: possibru
asciilifeform: ( now it should be obvious how )
mircea_popescu: no, i was expecting that's what you want ever since pushing me above.
mircea_popescu: and i don't think it's necessarily a bad solution, which is why i said there are others.
asciilifeform: grind luby's soliton distribution, and you get a calculably vanishing probability of failure
asciilifeform: sorta like in miller-rabin.
asciilifeform: for n00bz, i'll review : cut into chunks C1,C2,...,Cn; then sign, S(C1 xor C2), S(C2,C3,C9999), S(C5), etc. with the 'soliton' providing the arity
asciilifeform: ideally you'd have no 1-aries , for reason discussed earlier
mircea_popescu: you can chose an arbitrary large prime and have that arity.
asciilifeform: then verify by unlubying.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: there's potentially infinitely many ways to lubyate
mircea_popescu: right. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: so as i was saying -- we don't have to usg.dumb sign anything.
asciilifeform: that goes withoutsaying lol
mircea_popescu: aite then
asciilifeform: lulzily, the above result contradicts the 'literature'
asciilifeform: where whatshisface 'proved' that public key signatures are impossible w/out hashing.
mircea_popescu: right.
asciilifeform: ('trapdoors must exist')
mircea_popescu: good thing we didn't read the pdfs.
asciilifeform: youreaditherephirst.

mircea_popescu: "what if we pretend problem doesn't exist ?" "well... it'll catch up with you eventually" "But after i vest, right ?" "probably..."
asciilifeform: 'leave town before check bounces' aha
mircea_popescu: quite. though usually in the manner of "i just want my pension"
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-09-01#1709181 << quite. and as the femme alf says, "they don't even know it exists". ☝︎

mircea_popescu: hey, at least yours has the best rack of the alf-right or how did that go.
asciilifeform: aha!

mircea_popescu: the DUKES of hazards of hashcollisions, trinque.

shinohai: ^ best oglaf EVAH
mircea_popescu: loller.
mircea_popescu: i still think the best ever is the magic of denial one.
asciilifeform: runner up nominate, 'the restless dead vote', and 'sword fucks your wife at night'
mircea_popescu: yeah, srsly. lots of good ones.
shinohai: !~later tell jurov I wish to donate my s.qntra shares this month to the bitcoin foundation. Please advise how to proceed, thx.
jhvh1: shinohai: The operation succeeded.
mircea_popescu: the girls love the "ne futem sau evadam ?" "fuff. mai fimflu" one. which only exists in romanian.
asciilifeform: why the author is not here, remains a puzzler
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform didn't want to commission back in 2013 or so because i don't recall, something about how doesn't want to lose the spirit or somesuch.
asciilifeform: wasn't even thinking of commission. but abstract 'here'
asciilifeform: as in , speaking .
mircea_popescu: i dunno.
mircea_popescu: conceivably, same.

a111: Logged on 2017-09-01 22:06 asciilifeform: though i've thought about suggesting to mircea_popescu to offer hand-delivery ( chore would fall to asciilifeform... ) as an option. but i dun like nonflat prices
mircea_popescu: not so much for capital goods.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: proposed strictly as an answer to the provenance thing
asciilifeform: i.e. no dirty usg postman hands
mircea_popescu: not a good answer. courier can get ambushed just as well.
mircea_popescu: what, you're going to arm them too ? with what, submarines ?
asciilifeform: and asciilifeform can be replaced with ninjashogun right here in his chair neh. idea is to reduce the layers to 1.
