mircea_popescu: if fucking apple can't keep its key safe...
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: signed with apple's developer cert !
asciilifeform: understand, this means that somebody cought up $100
asciilifeform: i can do right now.
asciilifeform: sign 10 times.
asciilifeform: they get revoked at the drop of a hat.
asciilifeform: just like microshit's driver signing certs.
mircea_popescu: i don't see how any of this is a counter to what i said.
asciilifeform: because this is not a precious master key
mircea_popescu: yes, the "strong wall" will be breached by the owners themselves. of course.
mircea_popescu: this is why the whole "security" shit dun work.
asciilifeform: but something their coke machine dispenses when you stick in a benjie.
mircea_popescu: not as drm, not as tpe, not as w/e.
mircea_popescu: they want to live in a world of idiots. this means they can never be safe. full stop.
asciilifeform: well the plebe-cert-signed shit doesn't get to turn ~all~ of the knobs
asciilifeform: that's how the drm prison worx
mircea_popescu: all the knobs that are must be ; and necessarily must be. the knobs that are not, are not ; and necessarily can't be.
asciilifeform: elaborate?
mircea_popescu: do you want to hear it in greek, also ?
phf: meta-nsa has best keys of course
asciilifeform: phf: meta-nsa relaxes and smokes in the corner, it doesn't need keys, sends magic udp
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: crapple app dev keys and microshit driver keys play roughly the same role in ecosystem as that cali hearing aid shop's ssl cert.
asciilifeform: i.e. they get harvested by folks lookin' to do some infectin', and revoked immediately when the news break
asciilifeform: cheap, disposable.
asciilifeform: easy come, easy go
mircea_popescu: i don't think you take the point, perhaps for lack of familiarity with anaximander.
asciilifeform: let's have it
mircea_popescu: in any case : the fiat world will never be secure, no matter what.
asciilifeform: fiat world is exactly as secure as... the zoo.
asciilifeform: yes, once in a while some critter escapes.
asciilifeform: generally, they stay on the correct side of the bars.
mircea_popescu: this is not so.
mircea_popescu: a better model would be "a zoo where the humans are scored by how many times the animals have sex with them"
asciilifeform: bit of a puzzler
asciilifeform: (who is scored in an ordinary zoo, and how? i dun follow the analogy)
mircea_popescu: the correct model, ie, the zoo, is right here. the republic is a zoo. outsiders are kept in cage.
mircea_popescu: the fiat world is not such. yes, it has the choice to either become such, in which case we won, or else keep trying to pretend no child left behind. in which case we win. etc.
mircea_popescu: in an ordinary zoo, humans are scored like in any other employment. by how often they come late, and other factors.
asciilifeform: fiat world has, what, 400 yrs. of accumulated fat, with which it carries out caligulistic nonsenses like, yes, 'child left behind'
mircea_popescu: that is definitionally its identity.
mircea_popescu: if it abandons that, it no longer substantively exists.
asciilifeform: which is ?
mircea_popescu: "no child left behind"
asciilifeform: incidentally, and perhaps mircea_popescu does not know this, but even here in the heart of mordor this phrase is a comical byword for idiocy, like nixon's plumbers
asciilifeform: but i definitely see how it handily encompasses the varied crimes of the egalitarian cult.
mircea_popescu: what, and if 15 yo girlie "mocks" some dude in her english class that means she's not interested ?
asciilifeform: no i get it.
mircea_popescu: so yes, "walled garden". except it's not so walled as to prevent INEPT third worlder to "we are accept only bitcoin".
asciilifeform: re earlier thread, here is an interesting example of strong cage - intel microcode
mircea_popescu: the bar it poses is exactly that, ~100 bucks, ie fifteen minute's labour or w/e.
asciilifeform: in 20 yrs of signed microcode patches, NOTHING leaked out, not only keys, but even the format of the payload.
mircea_popescu: similarly, in 500 years of continued derpery, nobody bombed isfahan.
asciilifeform: (key exists, legendarily, in 1 copy, in the castle of doom, etc.)
mircea_popescu: i'm sure that'll do something for the future.
mircea_popescu: but it says exactly nothing about the item being strong, it's all about the item being worthless.
asciilifeform: i disagree.
mircea_popescu: and on what basis ?
asciilifeform: not only on the obvious basis of 'can add magic instruction' but 'will reveal magic instructions that have been added in 20 yrs of nsa-supplied patches'
mircea_popescu: "isfahan could host the mother of the red heifer"
mircea_popescu: this is no basis.
mircea_popescu: basically, i've by now distilled the unifying, common principle of all our disagreements to date. it is as follows :
mircea_popescu: you use engineering valuator, which defaults to 0 and respectively maxint in certain edge cases. this comes into conflict with known floors and ceilings established through political, generally, but occasionally economical valuations.
asciilifeform: iirc i once did explain that my mental model of the enemy is myself with a negative sign.
asciilifeform: and i see this as proper, because scheming against a ~stupid~ enemy is largely a waste of time, because how to know ~exactly how stupid~ he is ?
mircea_popescu: not a matter of stupid.
asciilifeform: so the correct thing to do is to picture enemy who has thought of ~at least~ everything you can think of.
mircea_popescu: and in any case, scheming against an enemy modelled on the basis of yourself is rather silly, seeing how if you are so similar you shouldn't be enemies in the first place.
asciilifeform: not how it works
asciilifeform: different colour uniforms --> enemies.
asciilifeform: or, he has a pie, and i do not, enemies.
mircea_popescu: i dun follow.
asciilifeform: and in all cases the most similar creatures are the ones that must fight
mircea_popescu: certainly not so.
asciilifeform brb, phood
asciilifeform: re the microcode thing, i can picture mircea_popescu going on a bank heist, and, coming up against a massive safe, 'let's not bother with the dynamite, fellas, this thing surely is full of used condoms'
asciilifeform: the intel turds are ciphered and signed for a reason.
asciilifeform: (a reason that was in place as early as '97)
asciilifeform: while it is ~conceivable~ that any particular heavy safe is filled to the brim with used condoms,
asciilifeform: generally it is not why safes exist upon satan's green earth.
mircea_popescu: depends who owns the safe.
mircea_popescu: i don't let the enemy inform my decisions by his behaviour this explicitly. you ever read the fox and bear fable ?
mircea_popescu: how'd they say in russian, "trage, trage ca de radacina tragi"
mircea_popescu: ie how the bear lost its tail.
asciilifeform: ah i was thinking of aesop's
mircea_popescu: story in brief :
mircea_popescu: fox wakes up to the sound of peasant driving very heavy cart full of fishes from the lake. climbs in quietly, and while on its back pushes fishes off the cart with feet. then collects it up and goes home.
mircea_popescu: on way home, bear, who at the time had splendid tail, nicer than fox', asks where she got all the fishes.
mircea_popescu: fox explains that you go to lake, put tail in water, pull out full of fishes.
asciilifeform: ah yes i recall this!
mircea_popescu: bear believes, proceeds. overnight the lake freezes, with his tail inside, as he pulls he thinks there's lots of fishes. breaks tail off.
mircea_popescu: seeks out fox in a rage, fox runs into a tree hole. bear can't get in, grabs a hooked branch, tries to get fox
mircea_popescu: whenever he catches on fox, fox cries out in joy "pull, pull, you're pulling on a root"
mircea_popescu: whenever he catches on root, fox goes "o noes, stop with the pulling you're killing me"
mircea_popescu: si asa a ramas ursul pacalit de vulpe [and so the bear was left tricked by the fox]
asciilifeform: we definitely had this tale.
mircea_popescu: so how do you say the "pull, pull" bit ?
asciilifeform: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k5rMKHLV6Hk << variation on this theme. with ~wolf~ instead of bear, and a number of other tweaks.
asciilifeform: мерзни, мерзни, волчий хвост !
asciilifeform: ^ iconic phrase known to every kid
asciilifeform: 'freeze, freeze, wolf's tail!111'
phf: :D
mircea_popescu: kinda weird tho, as wolf has tail.
asciilifeform: he was supposed to have had ~moar tail~ !111
mircea_popescu: but wolf eats fish ?
asciilifeform: this one does!11
asciilifeform: or ~would~ if he could catch!
