asciilifeform: '“Who should have to pay for protection from DDOS attacks?” is a trick question. No one should. Period. Because DDOS attacks shouldn’t happen. They definitely shouldn’t be several orders of magnitude easier and cheaper to launch than they are to defend against. But “should” and “is” are miles apart, and we have to take the world as it is, not as it should be. So who does have to pay for protection from DDOS attacks? E

mircea_popescu: "The term "spam" came into broad use shortly after a famous incident on 12 April 1994. Canter and Siegel unleashed the first mega-spam against Usenet. (Cantor had done local, mini-spams before; he was now going international.) Canter spammed almost 6,000 groups in less than 90 minutes through an Internet Direct account (an Arizona Internet provider). The post was a C&S ad for the U.S. "Green Card lottery" -- a chance for non-
mircea_popescu: Americans to enter a very low-odds US-work-permit raffle. Jeff Wheelhouse, sysadmin for Internet Direct, was soon bombed into oblivion by world-wide complaints. He told the New York Times this caused Internet Direct computers to crash at least 15 times -- "that's when we stopped counting." Canter soon appeared on CNN's Sonya Live. Interestingly, spam was viewed as an innovation by Sonya, who hailed Canter as a Business Pionee
mircea_popescu: r instead of Wanton Vandal. Canter boasted he'd spam again."

mircea_popescu: anyway, anyone remember the brouhaha of "fair" (ie, some faggots-on-campus pac) vs rumsfeld case ? (govt wanted to cut funding for colleges that didn't allow army recruiters on campus, solomon amendment ; they didn't want to allow recruiters on campus because they judged don't ask don't tell DISCRIMINATORY!!!11)
phf: a beautiful specimen
mircea_popescu: so : bc law thinks having argued before the supreme court!!!! on the wrong side of a case that got adjudicated the other way 8-0 is something to put in its bio as the #1 item.
mircea_popescu: if anyone things it prepares lawyers that one's reading comprehension is barrista-adequate.
mircea_popescu: (one helluva braindamaged "case" that was, too. worth reading for the curious, they got thrown out at every level, then held up supreme court to educate them in basic law.)
mircea_popescu: "In Spring 2017, the Boston College Environmental Affairs Law Review, Boston College International and Comparative Law Review, and the Journal of Law and Social Justice published their last issues and consolidated into the Boston College Law Review." for extra bonus points.
phf: this is a discouraging entomology, since i just came back to washington d.c. so now i have to interact with willsons and their brood yet again. (not directly, but i get to see them on the street)
mircea_popescu: this guy is now assistant public defender in hartford, ct!!! no less
mircea_popescu: so i much doubt you will interact with him unless you somehow age 20 years, get tit implants and become a socialite.
mircea_popescu: i expect 50% of his fare are de mournay DUIs, 50yo ex-starlet / alcoholic jane fonda.
phf: i might run into him in the street! i have friends in hartford and throughout CT (though i mostly visit those on the coast)
phf: luckily i can't find his picture, so i will remain blissfully ignorant
mircea_popescu: anyway, but the above line re "consolidated into" is there to explain how exactly $item became shit : at time t0, there existed $item, and it was respectable. at time t1, misguided "pluralism" allowed a bunch of rank imbeciles, such as here typified by charles f wilson, to open $rakim-and-his-black-chix-code, $faggots-fashion-law-review etcetera. then at time t2, the foregoing useless items "got consolidated" into $item. the
mircea_popescu: end.
mircea_popescu: this is how the ourdemocracy "pluralism" ratchet works : if everyone is nominally equal, and if nobody should face the music of his own ineptitude, then you can cycle these spawn-and-consolidate cycles until everything is pure shit.
mircea_popescu: (ie, exactly the monetary process described in http://trilema.com/2013/digging-through-archives-yields-gold/ except applied to labour rather than capital)
mircea_popescu: and since we're doing amusings -- i wonder why exactly hasn't the "alt right" picked up on JESUIT heritage to bitch and whine about ? it's just about the core of modern pantsuitism, it was historically oppressed specifically for pantsuitism, and when i say historically i mean centuries not decades, why exactly nobody knows enough to say "the jesuits will not replace us" ?
mircea_popescu: what, just gonna keep on with the jews forever ? there's other options!
phf: too obscure, though that would be an amusing thing to do. jesuit "protocols" on twitter, quotes and condemnations. it would be closer to an art project, than anything. "the who?"
mircea_popescu: except it's better substantiated in fact than the jew thing.
mircea_popescu: jesuits were shoah'd in venice once, 1600s, and THEN in france, portugal, the two sicilies etc in 1700s. this is moar than one piddly german interdict
mircea_popescu: what, just because that happened 3 and 400 years ago as opposed to 1900s ? what is this, the simple, child-like behaviour of the new world demographic ?
phf: ^
shinohai: Also, Malta and Spanish EMpire.
mircea_popescu: quite.
mircea_popescu: phf but to be honest, i suspect the actual reason is that this'd be a first step on the road to indicting jesus. which is apt, jesus being the best first-line heuristic for idiocy you'll ever encounter.
shinohai: (It's pretty bad when Pope himself writes Dominus ac Redemptor to hate on your religious group)
mircea_popescu: it happens to also be the single most important thread connecting the self-same "alt right" with faith altogether, so this is problematic.
mircea_popescu: or should i say psychologically painful.
mircea_popescu: in other words, i dun think "obscure" is the problem. i think "not wanting to take a look inside" is the problem.
mircea_popescu: (note that the above deals with jesus, as the western conception, not with the thing thereby named altogether. christos, as ~same thing understood in the east, be it the greek pantokrator, the russian voskresie i guess, or various others is not nearly as problematic)
mircea_popescu: even exists in early anglo stuff, christ resurrector, christ almighty etc. though the vein exhausted itself readily and apparently without leaving much trace. i guess in the same way "everyone" knows of bedwetter's 1984 but nobody read point counterpoint, notwithstanding that huxley is the important kid in that class, not fucking blair. ☟︎
phf: hmm
mircea_popescu: (the link, for the curious, is that in any other time than the present the above charles f. wilson would have been counted as a jesuit. both his stepping-stone and ultimate destination 2nd education institutions being -- jesuit.)
mircea_popescu: and in more domestic tranquility : a girl made bolognese, with fusili ; i made spicy paprika chicken, with penne rigate. there's now available A SELECTION of pasta leftovers for breakfast!
mircea_popescu: they go together great, too.
phf: mircea_popescu: i'm not sure what you mean by western conception of jesus (i'm vague on when the split happened, but yeah christos in slav countries and presumably in greek tradition has retained his "vsederzhitel" title, not so much in the west, but i can't imagine that the split happened in the 6th-8th century)
mircea_popescu: phf does christos love you ?
mircea_popescu: cuz you know, simple-minded ustard doesn't take nearly as long to answer that question.
phf: :)
phf: i'm not sure, but not in the way that phrase is cliche in english. god loves you, christ acts from inner great love. i'm not sure christ loves ~you~ as such
phf: russian conception of christ's love has always been "if my husband beats me, how do i still interpret his actions as love? -- well have you seen that special glint in his eyes!"
mircea_popescu: the whole fucking ploy with the new testament is not simply http://trilema.com/2017/why-god-has-died/#selection-111.0-129.119 but actually turning the heavenly father into the heavenly mother ; hence all the inept bs starting with all the mary worship in the loser south.
mircea_popescu: phf there's two fundamental roles for divinity in the life of man (unlike the matters discussed re resplenduminous, which are quite apart a third) : it's either momgod, give me a thing ; or else dadgod make me enjoy the thing i got.
mircea_popescu: and as it happens one of these works better than the other.
mircea_popescu: none of this, obviously, having to do with divinity in the slightest ; we're here discussing religion not theology.
mircea_popescu: anyway, the important point here being that the "progress" is actually a withdrawal ; from alhpabet to hieroglyphics, from christos to jesus, everywhere the sweet scent of senescent decay.
phf: right, i have similar impression, i thought there might be an event associated with it. i'd stick to the umberto ecco's idea that the transition happened sometime in the 14th century as a result of pantsuitization of catholic church
mircea_popescu: and what is your explanation of the cathars ?
mircea_popescu: the 14th century pantsuitization of the church resulted from the 14th century burning at the stake of the pantsuit enclave of toulouse.
mircea_popescu: look into how well the impregnable fortress was defended by those ninnies, and see in them the "hell no, we won't go" vietnam victrices.
mircea_popescu: and for that matter, who shall say caedite eos, novit enim dominus eius for this century ?
mircea_popescu: to this very day teh episode does truly bother the pantsuit press. because here's the thing : whether alt-right knows or doesn't know there's such a thing as jesuit, the thing they know or don't know still is, and still works.
phf: right, come to think crusades and inquisition came later
mircea_popescu: cathars are starting around 1100s or so.
mircea_popescu: anyway. 1100 century vegans, they existed.
phf: right, inquisition is then 12th century, and crusades are over by 15th, reformation is 16th
mircea_popescu: the first crusade was in the 1090s
phf: i don't know enough about history of church to pin point modern day "jesus loves you" conception.
mircea_popescu: well, the fact that there existed a 12th century animalrights, gender-fluid community of idiots who failed miserably in the field excuses you from such a pinpoint.
mircea_popescu: pantsuitism is eternal, neglected cunt grows cobwebs, what.
mircea_popescu: and, then as now, actually competent women didn't think much of the whole crap sandwich.

"christ the table throwers of the third denomination"

asciilifeform: ( i.e. can you make a matched pair of otp such that 1) output is cryptoentropic 2) can only leave the device at particular baud rate , no matter what is done to it ? )
asciilifeform: i.e. an otp that is intrinsically safe to transport.
mircea_popescu: in so many words, no.
asciilifeform: why so sure
mircea_popescu: cuz it's patently a nonphysical object, what. seriously, fixed future ?
asciilifeform: all you need is a physical process that is 1) repeatable, in that you can birth a matched pair of'em 2) cannot be substantially sped up
mircea_popescu: not so.
asciilifeform: hm?
mircea_popescu: your original wanted unrewindability, also.
mircea_popescu: 1. unique ; 2. repeatable ; 3. unalterable (but 4. copyable)
mircea_popescu: that's two mutually exclusive demands in one package.
asciilifeform: i dun see why unrewindable. 'can't speed up' means enemy has nothing to rewind.
asciilifeform: he gets 5 min alone with your parcel, all he sees is 5 min. of output.
mircea_popescu: you make otp 1 and 2, and send 2 to china. i take 2 and make 3 and 4, pass off 3 as 2 and keep 4.
asciilifeform: 'make 3 and 4' means you got it to shit bits at > the specified rate.
asciilifeform: ( in the case of a typical recording medium -- all at once )
mircea_popescu: no, it just means i copied it, thro9ugh the exact process you used to create the two in the first place.
asciilifeform: if you can do that, you've definitionally departed from my #2
asciilifeform: to reformulate -- is it possible to create an intrinsically nonrandomaccess 'slow tape'.
mircea_popescu: yes.
mircea_popescu: starmap is such a one.
asciilifeform: dun make for crypto, though, for obvious reason
mircea_popescu: exactly.
asciilifeform: may as easily say 'stock market'
mircea_popescu: or in other words, your design is nonsense. it demands mutually exclusive properties.
asciilifeform: yer postulating the conclusion.
asciilifeform: naughty.
asciilifeform: whole q is whether they are contradictory. i say not.
mircea_popescu: no. either it's "slow tape nonrandom access" or else it's "alf gets to fuck with it"
mircea_popescu: there's no way to have alf nominated personally in the workings of physics, and thereby have a tape alf and alf alone can fuck with
mircea_popescu: until he ascends, at least.
asciilifeform: to demonstrate, here's a design for an object that meets the described spec , if p!=np :
mircea_popescu: now this is interesting
asciilifeform: consists of 1) an ordinary, trivially copied otp, e.g. a hdd full of fuckgoatsolade ;
asciilifeform: 2 ) a mechanism similar to bitcoin's sha2 pow, where it grinds out a collision , the number of ticks that it took, xor'd with pad loc i, then next i+1 , .... , until pad runs out.
asciilifeform: now let's picture, enemy captures the box.
mircea_popescu: there are no ticks irl.
asciilifeform: he makes an exact copy.
asciilifeform: 'ticks' meaning how many increments of nonce here.
mircea_popescu: alright.
asciilifeform: now if we can put a bound on the enemy's advantage in calculating the (nonparallelizable, note, it should be clear why ) output -- we have the item.
mircea_popescu: i don't get it. so you get hdd 1, make 5 copies, i capture one, start grinding it into an otp. so do you. if my computer is 10% faster i'll have the i+1 10% faster than you will.
mircea_popescu: what exactly is so safe about this ?
asciilifeform: it only becomes interesting if we can turn the 10 to a 0.
asciilifeform: it is not necessarily impossible to do this.
mircea_popescu: but your original claim, that "to demonstrate, here's a design for an object that meets the described spec , if p!=np :", crumbled under scrutiny.
asciilifeform: i disagree that it crumbles : if you were to find a nonparallelizable trapdoor that no one is likely to outrun you in computing -- you have the item.
mircea_popescu: and if all men were the same height how would women choose.
asciilifeform: there does exist such a thing as a physical limit.
mircea_popescu: and in other sweet little nothings, http://78.media.tumblr.com/e03a8bb64ed31e87aecdd2c8772eaecf/tumblr_nmb17do3dm1tw52ilo1_400.gif

deedbot: http://deedbot.org/bundle-488152.txt
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: another hypothetical 'near solution' would be a well-boobytrapped package containing remanence-free ( per http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-16#1656777 scheme ) sram with otp ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2017-05-16 01:51 asciilifeform: if i were drawing up such a thing, i'd even have the sram work in such a way that 10 is a 1 on odd clock cycles, 0 on even
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> and since we're doing amusings -- i wonder why exactly hasn't the "alt right" picked up on JESUIT heritage to bitch and whine about ? it's just about the core of modern pantsuitism, it was historically oppressed specifically for pantsuitism, and when i say historically i mean centuries not decades, why exactly nobody knows enough to say "the jesuits will not replace us" ? << The Return of Kink thing has done some jesuit
BingoBoingo: criticism, dunno how far it's going to go
asciilifeform: for sake of argument, pour it (+ power source) into glass globe. if package detects that temp is too far from room, or that the globe got smaller in any axis ( e.g. internal refraction will change ) -- blows the sram.
asciilifeform: if operating normally, however -- pisses out, say, byte/sec optically through glass.
asciilifeform: note that these 'tanks' do not have to be impregnable, in order to work. if the enemy has a 1 in 10 chance of breaking it -- send a crate with 100 and xor'em. for so long as it is easier for you to make'em than for him to crack'em, by a wide margin, he is fucked
asciilifeform: if he fails to silently break even ~one~, you have a working otp !
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> in the sense court will order you to support college kid. << Fambly court will
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it may surprise you to know that i've no bear traps laying about the house ; not even in dungeon.
mircea_popescu: it's an intrinsically unsafe thing, this boobytrap bs.
asciilifeform: not the detonating sort of trap, but the key-wipin' sort
mircea_popescu: that';d be better.
asciilifeform: that's what i specified, thought it was obvious.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo a hey, so not completely clueless then. good to know.
phf: i believe we had a booby trap thread, about putting grenades into those reinforced 90s doors
mircea_popescu: "does this boob implant come in black and also smokeless powder variants ???"
asciilifeform: phf: not only schematic above dun explode, but ideally it would not even zero key, but rngize, so enemy has nfi whether trap sprung or not
mircea_popescu: this'd be a helluva device, incidentally, for teh wife bimbofication process. "congrats on your new 1150 ml funbags hon, and remember, if they detect the wrong hand..."
asciilifeform: lol! as pictured in that story aha
phf: asciilifeform: that i figured out, the whole contraption reminds me of that ru anti-temper device pdf that you posted recently
mircea_popescu: 500ml of powder should make a decent hole / tear an arm off.
asciilifeform: phf: lose-key-if-tampered is only practical with remanence-free sram. which afaik exists only here in the l0gz and nowhere else.
asciilifeform: so there is no state of the art.
mircea_popescu: moreover, what's to keep your glass ball from rowhammer.
asciilifeform: um the fact that enemy can't address it ?
asciilifeform: it pisses bits one by one, take no input.
asciilifeform: *takes
mircea_popescu: but it still consists of electric charge geometrically arranged.
asciilifeform: the addressing sequence is fixed. can't rearrange the circuit without busting the physical package.
mircea_popescu: well, first step to instrumentation is modelling it on your own whiteboard.
asciilifeform: btw rowhammer dun apply to sram.
asciilifeform: intrinsically.
asciilifeform: ( enemy still dun get to address it, because that's the whole point of the glass, to make the 'you get 1 bit at a time' thing happen )
mircea_popescu: in other lulz, anyone familiar with the early anti-pot hearst smear campaigns ? (1930s). it's a long string of, basically, "do you want your daugther sucking mexican cock ? and corrupting her sister to participate in wild orgies? ?!?! !!?!?!? "

mircea_popescu: money shot : "Because my order came from nine different stores, eight separate vehicles showed up at our offices. Only eight, because my Teriyaki Yakisoba from Smart & Final was canceled from the SF order: Out of Stock in Daly City. I received that same item in my Mountain View order, because it was still in stock in San Mateo. Not a single cracker was broken!Not a single cracker was broken! In SF, three drivers showed up one
mircea_popescu: at a time with our chips, crackers, and ramen, over a span of 4 hours. I received an email saying my Monster Energy Drink had been delivered, but nobody had shown up with it. I sent an email inquiry."
mircea_popescu: fucking imagine this, eight cars showing up to bring you individually wrapped cheezits.
asciilifeform: old hat, asciilifeform routinely orders single screws, nuts, on lolazon etc
asciilifeform: they show up next day's lunch.
mircea_popescu: i can already smell the steak. it will be beef, corn on the cobb, a bottle of fine wine and mushroom sauce.
asciilifeform: ( often in, yes, separate couriers. why -- is mystery )
mircea_popescu: if these were delivered individually by as many cars i'd be shooting someone.
mircea_popescu: terrifyingly inconvenient way to live wtf.
asciilifeform: vs what, vs having servant fetch whole thing for you and serve on silver tray ?
asciilifeform: yes inconvenient
asciilifeform: vs doing it with own hands -- convenient.
mircea_popescu: if i actually needed so many different kinds of screws as to make keeping stocks untenable i'd review the whole process and take out some screw types.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform what's wrong with just buying a pallet of new england original oyster flavoured crackers ?
asciilifeform: the only way to optimize a ~research~ conveyor, rather than production, is to simply stock massive qty of everything under the sun
asciilifeform: which is what asciilifeform more or less tends to do.
asciilifeform: but the house ain't infinite.
mircea_popescu: no research is involved in any of this. FMCG, 100% of it.

asciilifeform: example. recently asciilifeform needed a cr1220 battery. they keep - theoretically - for decade on shelf. in practice, few yrs ( chinese ). 0 source of these within a day's drive . so ordered, and next day it was in.
asciilifeform: what part of this is optimizable ?
asciilifeform: 'don't keep machinery that wants 1220 ' lol goodluck
asciilifeform: not everything is fungible, esp if budget is made of something other than rubber
asciilifeform: the instrument you have is the one you have, and it wants a 1220 batt. nao wat.
mod6 orders twinkie
asciilifeform: and yes lolazon et al are in business because folx order twinkies, not because asciilifeform orders cr1220.
asciilifeform: ( i suspect this is an exact rerun of the ebay thread, so i'll stop here for nao )
