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-

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: phf dood's bio : 1993-1994 greater boston food bank volunteer (ie, ASSISTANT volunteer MANAGER!!!), then 1998-2002 testa hurwitz & thibeault. boston college law school (ie, shit) 94-97. "saint joseph university" (ie, shit), ba politics 89-93.
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: 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: 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.

phf: i sort of assumed from the paintings and the existence of such thing as thieves' cant, but at some point it was sort of like a mix between monthy python's holy grail and the life of brian. i.e. dirt digging communes, living somewhere on the periphery, espousing any kind of random interpretation of gospel. "christ the table throwers of the third denomination"

mircea_popescu: and to continue the lulz : "Equal protection challenges require a review of the statute allowing court-ordered support [for adult children of a failed marriage]. Neither strict scrutiny nor heightened scrutiny are required as these statutes do not create classes of people based on race, creed, color, gender, national origin or involve a fundamental right. These statutes create, instead, social and economic classifications, re
mircea_popescu: flecting people's marital status and assets. Consequently, courts only need to use rational basis review. Rational basis review, the most deferential review of legislative action, requires two steps. First, courts must determine whether these statutes attempt to promote any legitimate state interest or public value. If so, courts must determine whether the statuttes and classifications created are rationally related to accomp
mircea_popescu: lishing those interests. In other words, courts ask whether the statute does what it was written to do."
mircea_popescu: the important point here, as far as the latin-american "liberation theology" marxist reinterpretation, as typified in the latest (and first jesuit) pope is concerned is : that property is not a right.
mircea_popescu: let aside that property is the first, and only right that matters, for as long as i have property i will bring back all the other crap as needed ; whereas without property all the rest is entirely not worth the mention and we can really start calling each other tavarisch, there being no further need of any pretense in the vein of courts, or for that matter any other rationalisms.

asciilifeform: 'We built a true alternating current (a.c.) battery that periodically reverses value and sign of its electromotive force (e.m.f.). This a.c. battery is an electrochemical concentration cell that consists of two coupled half cells in which identical oscillating Belousov-Zhabotinskii (BZ) reactions take place isothermally at 28.0°. The homogeneous BZ oscillations are phase shifted in order to create a potential difference between both
asciilifeform: half cells. With an increasing load the phase shift between the two half cells decreases (i.e. both oscillations tend to synchronize), consequently the amplitude of the alternating current decreases while the amplitudes of the individual BZ-oscillators remain unaffected. '

asciilifeform: evidently came to 0.
asciilifeform: originally asciilifeform's interest in subj, will confess, was re 'uncopyable otp'.
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: 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: 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.

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: 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.
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.

mircea_popescu: prolly not toothpicks, but a lot of thin pens works well.
asciilifeform: lessay each is worth a tenth of a penny,
