assbot: Why We've Decided to Organize ... ( http://bit.ly/1JOYbvu )
felipelalli: BingoBoingo: well, the Brazil is a very complicated country. We have like 60~70% of taxes, but our government is very corrupt and inefficient. So, the people try to avoid to pay taxes, but some taxes are impossible to avoid. As a reference, you can buy a new March (small car of Nissan) 1.6 here for US$ 13,000.00 and you can't import your old Saturn. Used car import is prohibited. Also, a negative point is the huge urban violence.
felipelalli: And you can't defend your self because personal weapon is very tackled, both culturally and the by the government.
felipelalli: BingoBoingo: But with money you can live well here. I like the State of São Paulo, where I live, and I like my city Campinas. There are nice cities around here, like Sorocaba or Águas de São Pedro.
BingoBoingo: Corrupt and inefficient is good, but somewhere between Laredo nd Nuevo Laredo I would indeed like to acquire a 1911
felipelalli: despite all the problems, precisely because it is inefficient and corrupt, I feel more free here than I feel in U.S. (where I went sometimes) or in Australia (where I lived for one year)
felipelalli: I fell more free in relation of the government pressure, but not about the urban violence.
felipelalli: in Australia I was used to walk at dawn, and here it is dangerous.
felipelalli: I was assaulted at least 4 times in my life. Last time it was in 2008 I guess.
funkenstein_: i had a dream about the south american map night before last
funkenstein_: the countries were stretched like thin strips like they were all chile
felipelalli: BingoBoingo: I have two friends from U.S. living here. Well, at least one. One of them I think already went back to U.S.
trinque: funkenstein_: can't carry a knife? if not a gun?
trinque: * felipelalli ^
funkenstein_: brazil had a really fat part in the south out in front of b.a.
felipelalli: BingoBoingo: I can introduce them to you and you can ask them.
funkenstein_: and i had to identify them on the map using a javascript phrase like js.equalsVerify("brazil")
BingoBoingo: felipelalli: I have time, now might not be the right one yet
felipelalli: trinque: you can carry a knife, it is ok!
felipelalli: trinque: you can carry also a gun, because the police is almost absent. But you run the risk of being arrested. And you do not want to be arrested here!!
felipelalli: funkenstein_: lol
felipelalli: BingoBoingo: sure! But if you want I can introduce these two friends to you! One of them didn't like Brazil too much, I guess he already went back to U.S. The other one loves the beach here, but he complain about the insecurity, his house was robbed.

BingoBoingo: It is, why it fell on the backburner. They've pushed it, but their "values" make things such that the potential audience who could use it is too small.
mircea_popescu: myeah
BingoBoingo: OH, and since I can't be there, announcement for con 3. Since last con I have abused derp sportsbooks and CoinBase Inc. to taint no less than 750 BTC with my stench.
mircea_popescu: whassat ?
BingoBoingo: Oh, I've been gambling on shady books which keep their public wallet addresses big and directly depositing to CoinBase. Contributing to the death of the idea of taint.
mircea_popescu: haha ok
BingoBoingo: Been mixing coins definitely mine by legacy addresses with big wallets and going straight from the big wallets to CoinBase, because fuck it.
BingoBoingo: Working with minimal budget I've been cross taiting a number of coins across groups who I know don't want it.
BingoBoingo: (outside of #b-a sphere)
funkenstein_: why would anyone care? unspent outputs are unspent outputs, something else going to an address is just another unspent output.

mircea_popescu: i. The tasering, either in drive stun or probe mode Experts determined that there was insufficient electricity to have caused a heart rhythm disruption in drive stun mode, nor were any pair of probes positioned either side of the heart (as was the case in scholarly articles in which it has been suggested that Taser may have caused ventricular fibrillation)

Citizenfive: There's some important lessons in the DPR case about gpg's CAPS & LIMS in practice
trinque: Citizenfive: such as?
Citizenfive: Cryptographically tying writing to an identity — if only probabilistically, something sadly not often considered either — is a double-edged sword.
BingoBoingo: Well, the first is don't let the Fed's get your privates

Citizenfive: Yes. The above link from Twitter, if you think about it, is stonger evidence that I am at least the same persona as was using that account earlier today, than anything I could present you with GPG over these channels. And, presumably, if Twitter C5's personality does not change or claim "omg HAX!" in a few hours or days, you can be comfortable that

trinque: williamdunne: good thread in the comments
williamdunne: !up citizenfive
williamdunne: Read over the idea
williamdunne: Could many of the same goals not be achieved by just integrating GPG into IRC?
trinque: williamdunne: what's the thought there, that the messages within the IRC protocol would be GPG messages?
trinque: you could probably make something that was sort of like the proposal by cramming all the traffic, both gossip and direct messages through pm
trinque: probably better to design the thing from the ground up eh?
trinque: williamdunne: tangentially related it was rather trivial to make point-to-point chat with gpg, awk and netcat
williamdunne: danielpbarron: What reason would that matter in particular? All our messages are public anyway. I doubt your OS was written exclusively by a member of the WoT (even if you did compile it yourself)
trinque: williamdunne: I think the idea is eventually to have a full stack within the WoT
williamdunne: trinque: Maybe, if it works well then awesome. Will be a great thing. But seems like it could end up more hassle than it is worth
trinque: williamdunne: hassle to whom?
williamdunne: trinque: Each individual end-user, we'll exclude development efforts
trinque: it should be done at a certain point, not a katamari of features
trinque: if it passes messages between nodes as described, and does that perfectly, that's a fantastic place to stop, then build separate things which make use of that
williamdunne: trinque: maybe, I might just not be thinking creatively enough
Citizenfive: A properly-done "better IRC" would pretty much fix most objections I have with the current WoT, btw
Citizenfive: But use OTR
trinque: Citizenfive: read the spec?
Citizenfive: Just the RFC. The general spirit of it is sound.
williamdunne: Citizenfive: my familiarity with OTR is very slim, having only used it in conjunction with jabber. But what does it offer that GPG doesn't?

williamdunne: Citizenfive: They would effectively need to be mutually exclusive if deniability is what you're going for in any group chat setting would they not
trinque: well there's a distinction between saying "I am connected to the node I think I am"
trinque: and saying "this message I'm looking at was certainly authored by X"
trinque: I want the former without question
trinque: the latter is a feature one could use or not
trinque: depends on the situation
Citizenfive: Both are very good tools. At present, I see many solutions trying to fit the square peg of PGP into the gaping goatse of "maintaining OPSEC in an adverse environment of well-heeled adversaries". That is, it fits, but a large round peg, perhaps OTR, would allow less... spillage.

trinque: true enough, and one might want to know later he's dealing with the same citizenfour as last time
Citizenfive: I guess that, and more critically, amoung its users, I see too much overreliance on it (which is to say, people who don't fully grip the CAPS&LIMS of it as a tool)
trinque: however in the process of doing said leaking, and especially in the process of *establishing* trust one may want deniable messaging
trinque: gossipd as I understand it readily supports that
trinque: *will support
trinque: you connect to some node that's the all-welcoming orifice and it forwards it on
trinque: and the chain of connections from that point onward is known
Citizenfive: But we'll get there. That's the difficulty with anything. The WoT automates some rep stuff, but doesn't automate KNOWING what really is and isn't automated, or something like that
Citizenfive: I'm not prepared to type enough to really explain my thinking at the moment
trinque dives back into meatspace work

mircea_popescu: this guy is like forever young.
Citizenfive: DEMOCRACY isn't actually a thing. Not in a meaningful sense. Hence every country is a democracy. A well-architected democratic republic has some neat features, for example. But democracy is kinda like an adjective.
mircea_popescu: eh, democracy is a thing, even if derpy iliterate muricans never bother to learn what the words mean. it's not gonna change what it is just because a bunch of people have nfi.
Citizenfive: It is useful in describing something. Like the word modern. Modern car. Modern house. Modern, by itself, may or may not be useful. Modern art?
mircea_popescu: we could say that the meaning of democracy is fundamentally undemocratic.
williamdunne: Citizenfive: I completely agree; but I will assume they were going with the definition of diluting power to all, something along the lines of direct democracy
mircea_popescu: modern art is quite meaningful, yes. ever read the "what is art" thing ?
Citizenfive: williamdunne: See! DIRECT democracy. Also an actual thing, and a meaningful phrase. "Democracy" in REAL english just means "good" or something.
mircea_popescu: "real" english just means democratic english, which is not english.
Citizenfive: lol
mircea_popescu: english is THE KING'S english.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile in orc speak, everything means the same and is spelled "urgh"
Citizenfive: anyway I don't want to get lost into semantics; I think most here understand whatever system of governance the US has, it manages to masquerade as a democracy, and isn't a good system. Whatever that says about the word is less important to me.
mircea_popescu: well you're right in that it would try and to thew same degree succeed to masquerade as anything else, including a teosophy.
mircea_popescu: any play's equally successful if played out for the goats.
williamdunne: Citizenfive: Any system that provides people with the ability to voice and attempt to enact opinions they are not qualified to have is a bad idea in my books. The crowd has no wisdom, select actors with value behind them do.
mircea_popescu: which value you can only evaluate in a system that's actually open to idiots.

mircea_popescu: williamdunne anyway, to do some positive work : democracy is the notion that what people think matters. the exact opposite of alf's favourite, "the cold equations" (which'd describe a republic).

Citizenfive: What I'm saying, if I'm saying *anything*, is that the words don't matter. And as a word, democracy seems to have too many contradictory definitions to be especially useful as a descriptor. If US = democracy, well, that's not good. If Switzerland = democracy, that's a bit better, though the consensus is that beast is a "DIRECT democracy".
williamdunne: Would lack of governance not be the alternative? (or self-governance if that wording floats your boat).

Citizenfive: The trick is how to discuss democracy, then, when everyone has their own idea of what it means. Or any topic. I've found most arguments can be traced to the arguers somewhere having slightly different internal definitions for something.
mircea_popescu: trinque same.
mircea_popescu: Citizenfive the next trick to find is that you can get people quite bothered by carefully using their contributions to words.

mircea_popescu: is it up to us ?
mircea_popescu: yes, governance by us is best governance. agreed.
mircea_popescu: now convince her.
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=18-04-2015#1103712 << why would you wish to be anonymous ? other than "because i've already lost the war".
assbot: Logged on 18-04-2015 01:05:03; Citizenfive: But use OTR
mircea_popescu: if you've already lost the war, why are you derping with axes and shit.
williamdunne: mircea_popescu: I wonder what was said internally at the SEC about your offer to govern the world of BTC assets?
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=18-04-2015#1103751 << by this token, one should not have sex.
assbot: Logged on 18-04-2015 01:17:25; Citizenfive: Right now, too few users of the WoT know how to use it *properly*, so it's not super important to me at this time. When that changes, I will use it.
mircea_popescu: !up Citizenfive
Citizenfive: Basically, all can be sorted out via Socratic roundtables — everyone looking to, fundamentally, prove themselves WRONG, rather than to prove themselves RIGHT. Eventually the people at the table find and exorcise their internal inconsistencies, and arrive together at Reality.
mircea_popescu: what are you, 19 ?
Citizenfive: Do you believe in an objective reality, or is it subjective?
mircea_popescu: this is a rehash of "socialism will come once people are generous", which was a rehash of "christ will come once people are good".
mircea_popescu: you can't seriously contemplate a system so easy t oattack. i will attack it.
mircea_popescu: just because i do not wish to be part of something this trivial to attack, nor do i see merit in its continued existence.

mircea_popescu: what, again ?!
Citizenfive: That'd be interesting, as I don't believe either of those.
williamdunne: mircea_popescu: Related to attacking systems
mircea_popescu: What do you say, Mircea? Are you a narcissist? "Narcissist" means egotistical, self-focused, and vain.
mircea_popescu: holy derp on a stick.
mircea_popescu: word means any of [word,word,word] ring.

williamdunne: mircea_popescu: Well?! What do you say
williamdunne: mircea_popescu: This is trial by a jury of your peers in the WoT
mircea_popescu: basically, this is not different from shanonizer (seen commonly in spam)
mircea_popescu: dude i have no idea.
mircea_popescu: i was kinda rooting for simpleminded psychopath, myself.
Citizenfive: I seem to have improperly conveyed the degree of importance I place on this "word" stuff. It's not particularly important; don't worry about it.
mircea_popescu: Citizenfive i was just discussing a snipped from the thing he linked
williamdunne: mircea_popescu: Narcissistic still fits most descriptions of psychopathy, so you may still achieve your dreams
mircea_popescu: eh in the sense of "i think i might have been raped" fits most modern descriptions of rape.
williamdunne: True, seems like a lack of care for many could be easily misinterpreted as narcissism
mircea_popescu: anyway, what is it ?
williamdunne: What is?
mircea_popescu: narcisism. didn't you have a question ?
mircea_popescu: anyway, more about this tomorro i guess, it's been a long day. tada.
Citizenfive: Narcissist != someone with DSM's definition of NPD
williamdunne: It was based off of the Qntra comment, although apparently the trial is based upon these characteristics: >> What do you say, Mircea? Are you a narcissist? "Narcissist" means egotistical, self-focused, and vain.

Citizenfive: I like PFS by default, and OTR makes that happen in a fairly frictionless way. You are of course welcome to use whatever cryptosuites you feel work best for you.
