mircea_popescu: prolly cayuse only place with big enough crematorium
asciilifeform: reminds me of a tale from the lab chief at my first job, at u.s. nih. when he inherited the grounds, there was cocaine left over from the last fella. who was busted because not all of it could be accounted for. the new lab had nothing to do with cocaine, and
asciilifeform: and the fella wanted to be rid of the stash
asciilifeform: but no industrial disposal corp. would accept it
asciilifeform: liability far too great
asciilifeform: eventually he contracted with a proper crematorium
asciilifeform: which happily accepted it and, iirc, filmed the proceedings.
mircea_popescu: sounda b out reight
asciilifeform: this was, i was told a multi-kg stash of synthesis-grade reagent.

assbot: Logged on 11-10-2015 18:12:24; phf: "sir, we have here a warrant to search your memory palace"
asciilifeform: there are already freislers at work, crafting 'legal framework' for it.
asciilifeform: afaik, the most audacious claim to date is that the machine can tell if the victim has seen a particular object previously.
asciilifeform: folks familiar with usg 'scientocracy' will laugh, but the fact is, the mind-reading box does not necessarily have to... work. to be put in use. ☟︎
asciilifeform: intimidation of chumps, as in 'lie detector', will take care of two thirds of the 'patients' ☟︎
asciilifeform: while the remainder can be parallel-constructed, accidented, etc. into their place.
ben_vulpes: it is the only hope for the lie detector replacement
ben_vulpes: and will likely suffer the same public humiliations
punkman: just an update for current lie detector
asciilifeform: not actually being pursued for this
ben_vulpes: as 'dna evidence' is atm
asciilifeform: the 'voodoo intimidation value' of the old-fashioned kind is, afaik, thought to suffice
punkman: people still believe in the old model
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes has it, it will be another 'dna evidence'
ben_vulpes: the whole legal/scientocratic edifice is shaking apart as the science part more trivially debunkable.
punkman: but I think new version will need to include "quantum" and stuff
ben_vulpes: grows more*
asciilifeform: or rather, speaking more generally, yet another kind of fingerprint.
asciilifeform: punkman: it already includes quantum voodoo!
asciilifeform: see 'SQUID' etc
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: fingerprints were 'debunked' in the 1900s ☟︎
asciilifeform: yet still used in virtually every country
asciilifeform: because - for the actual, rather than stated purpose - they work great.
asciilifeform: (extracting confession)
ben_vulpes: sure, people threaten each other with random shit all the time.

asciilifeform: phun phakt: most fingerprint database is entirely unusable for any practical purpose whatsoever.
ben_vulpes: just because some derpy whites succumb to intimidation does not mean dna framing still works. it works on derpy blacks too, what of it?
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: see famous case with portland lawyer that the incompetents in the usg wanted to frame for the madrid bombings.

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: lulzily, usg agrees!
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: which is why more and more of its actual muscle is extrajudicial
asciilifeform: unrelatedly, today i went into a shop and saw a type of chumpatronic contrivance for which i do not know the name:
asciilifeform: there was a row of apple portables, and some had high-res lcd (sold as 'retina' trade name) while others had standard lcd. but the latter do not resemble the machines i have previously used having such; instead, they were atrocious, with what looked like triangular pixels, dithering visible to the naked eye;
asciilifeform: like an old vhs camera viewfinder
asciilifeform: my first thought was that these are not intended to actually sell
asciilifeform: but instead to prod people to the costlier 'high res' variant
asciilifeform: my other thought was that it is even possible that both variants used physically-identical components and the cheaper one was somehow crippled in software.

ben_vulpes: trinque: you might find it amusing that now that the rains have moved in, Hinson is holding a series of neighborhood meetings to figure out "what to do" about colonel summers.

ben_vulpes: everyone wants affordable housing, they just don't want to house people who need affordable housing anywhere near themselves.
mircea_popescu: why not ? much better to fuck women that need affordable housing than women thart don't.\
mircea_popescu: for one thing, younger. for the other thing, much less of a bitch.
mircea_popescu: the concept of unaffordable housing chiefly exists on this earth to keep women pliable and young derps out of the pool.
mod6: I guess I could just not print who signed the mirrors. Leave the mirror list sigs in place on the server, and they can be checked later by hand if anyone wants. but i kinda like how it shows who signed it.
mircea_popescu: (which is why i'm kinda chuckling to myself every time alf goes on a rant about teh rent bezzle. sure, it sucks. imagine a world without it.) ☟︎
mircea_popescu: mod6 why is this a bootstrapping problem anyway ?
mircea_popescu: to run v in the first place one's supposed to provide a populated pubkeys dir.
mod6: One can do this for sure. The idea was, if the user just has the scrpit, and nothing else, they could sync all the latest wots/seals/vpatches from a mirror. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: mmm i don't think that's either intended functionality or a good idea.
mircea_popescu: as intended, every v installation includes a step where user securely populates his pubkey dir. ☟︎

mod6: hmm. well, i can take all of the sync stuff out for sure. will reduce a ton of code.
mircea_popescu: pgp sync you mean ?
mod6: how will the secure population of the pubkey dir work? just by pulling keys manually or is this an automated function?
mircea_popescu: but these are two diff things, the v sync (of code) and the pubkey part.
mod6: no, it sync's stuff from the mirror via wget, currently
mod6: the pubkeys, the seals and the vpatches
mircea_popescu: see, the idea being that pubkey gotta be a special category.
mod6: it is not required to do that, one can just populate the stuff by hand, ofc.
mircea_popescu: then you no longer have the bootstrapping problem you were disucssing earlier.
mod6: ah. ok. i see. so let the user populate the wots on their own, other stuff, no prob. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: yup
mod6: ok makes sense. i'll work on that bit of it.
