mircea_popescu: Oh? And when the last law was down, and the Devil turned 'round on you, where would you hide, Roper, the laws all being flat? This country is planted thick with laws, from coast to coast, Man's laws, not God's! And if you cut them down, and you're just the man to do it, do you really think you could stand upright in the winds that would blow then?
mircea_popescu: that's a great fucking movie.

mircea_popescu: not a very good take-down, in retrospect. scofield says "laid flat" and it serves.
Vexual: if you think you are a state you prolly are a state, skinner said that
Vexual: definately was the phrasing on inspection
mircea_popescu: Naphex: Posts about people paying 28,000$ for mining equipment and still not delivering weeks after deadline. is it just me or thats a hell of a lot money to be pissing people off for << not so lulzy. they're not even the first romanian bunch.
mircea_popescu: and do you remember the hungarian lolset back in 2012 ?
mircea_popescu: "...but there is also additional circumstantial evidence that GHash.IO have bad actors:
mircea_popescu: Not closing registration as their pool is approaching a (visible) 51%
mircea_popescu: Not charging fees to incentivize more pool diversity"
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: PrimeAsic?
mircea_popescu: yeah dude, they should break up their thing for your comfort. god forbid the fucktarded miners all gather on one pool shouls smarten up.
mircea_popescu: no, the pool must suicide for their sake
mircea_popescu: there should be a "beat internet people for bitcoin" service.
mircea_popescu: id prolly spend hundreds.
Vexual: why would a successful pol ever try to 51%? to get cheap ebay shit?
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo, ya
mircea_popescu: Vexual, to become the butt of every nitwit's conspiracy theories.
mircea_popescu: and don't tell me anyone has higher goals in life, it's not true.
Vexual: really where would someone go to do a 51?
Vexual: it would take incmpetence to cop it
Vexual: theres a lot of it atround i guess
mircea_popescu: davout: is it proved? because it sounds like they'd have more to lose by passing on the block reward << as best as it could be discerned it was more probably a shitty excuse by the dice site in question.

fluffypony: heh heh
Naphex: davout: well you can def do the mastercard/visa thing

Naphex: even if its bitcoin
Naphex: in basics you just keep bitcoin as a guarantee and set a max limit for a month on a customer visa/master
Naphex: and then enjoy the risks

pankkake: 0.9.1 makes me lol. nothing changed except version of openssl, which only affects broken platforms with bundled dependencies
pankkake: but then linux distros didn't update to it, and users wonder why it doesn't have the latest
xmj: I'm waiting for openbsd to release libressl-portable.
xmj: can't wait to replace openssh-portable :]
mircea_popescu: the exact way in which the various distros do the updating is imo the best way to diagnose usg moles in foss.
mircea_popescu: one of the few points which lends itself to statystical analysys.
pankkake: what about the debian "let's replace random data by zeros" guy?
mircea_popescu: i did say statistical.
xmj: let's buy some options.
pankkake: arguably this was because openssl was doing very weird things
mircea_popescu: "The attack can only be performed between a vulnerable client *and* server." followed by "OpenSSL clients are vulnerable in all versions of OpenSSL." for great winj, and then "Servers are only known to be vulnerable in OpenSSL 1.0.1 and 1.0.2-beta1."
mircea_popescu: someone should tell me this ALSO was accidental.
mircea_popescu: or to quote myself,
mircea_popescu: "I didn’t quote or link because I support OpenSSL or their efforts. I do not. For one thing I do not believe they are honest, for the other I do not believe they are competent. In either case I do not believe the project should survive, or has any further utility. All those involved should, in my considered opinion, go home, do something else with their time, and as far as possible erase the shameful involvement wit
mircea_popescu: h OpenSSL from their resumes."

mircea_popescu: anyway, a negative interest rate opens the window for infinite inflation, which countries like italy or greece may actually see, however briefly.
mircea_popescu: i wonder if we'll see a draghi hour. (named after "earth hour", where people supposedly don't use any energy for a whole hour once a year, the draghi hour is an hour where nobody buys anything whatsoever. it results from inflationary price shocks, supply side inflationary blockage and people being generally poor and justifiably hopeless)

mdev: privacy and all that is fine
mdev: #bitcoin ops quieted me, probably indefinitely because he says bitcoin address reuse is dangerous, even though link after link that i've found, while most discourage it, non i've seen actually say it's dangerous
mdev: the android bug was a result of a bad random number gen
pankkake: addresses that never had outgoing transactions are sligthly more secure, as the private key is hidden

mdev: the public key argument thing, about it being exposed after the first transaction, not sure why that's an issue, RSA is based off handing out public keys, I know bitcoin uses ECDMA or whatever, but still if the public key can't be trusted
mdev: don't get why that's being used
Naphex: mdev: if there are not transaction your pubkey is unavailable
Naphex: no* transactions
asciilifeform moved to different town recently, there are lottery machines everywhere
mdev: sure, but once your public key is out there
mdev: don't get why they're so concerned
mdev: if that alg is weak or they're not sure about its reliability why didn't they use a more trustworthy one like RSA
mdev: since that's relied on with HTTPS all day ever day
asciilifeform: mdev: long keys
benkay: simple solution: top up your hot address from cold addresses infrequently, spend from the hot address as frequently as you want. minimize risk by minimizing coins in the hot, potentially compromisable address.
benkay: old hat, this.
mdev: so they used a weaker alg to shorten the key length, does that mean if the alg they used gets compromised all addresses that have done transactions are vulnerable anyway?
mdev: if they have coins in them?
pankkake: it's not necessarily weaker
mdev: well that seems to be the only argument i've seen, security wise as far as not reusing addresses
mdev: the fear it's vulnerable or could be

mircea_popescu: – Local resident Brittany Friedly underwent surgery to remove a mass on her ovary. What was somewhat unique about this mass you might ask? It was a teratoma that contained hair and 7 teeth.

asciilifeform: who alive remains, who doesn't know this tale
asciilifeform actually has to give a shit about ground potentials now that his box is connected to isolator transformer
asciilifeform looks to xformer, 'you're a loud little bugger, aintcha' xformer: bzzz me: could be worse xformer: BZZZzzz me: looks at neighbour's house, wonders what they did to dip the mains
BingoBoingo: Are they actually neighbors, or potekemin neighbors who professionally reside in that house?
asciilifeform didn't ask
mircea_popescu: just run everything off car batteries

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: set up to do just this, when necessary
mircea_popescu: actually : is solar power a loit better than mains for this ?
mircea_popescu: i'd expect it's maybe noisier but definitely not harmonic
BingoBoingo: There's more equiptment tuned for these applications when using solar than mains, at least in the consumer/prosumer market
asciilifeform: you can get 'atx'-sized power supplies that run off straight 12v rail
asciilifeform: bypass the usual inverter found on solar rigs. use solar, woman on bike, whichever
asciilifeform: weak point, as always - the battery
asciilifeform: lead-acid cell is good for half a dozen 'deep cycles' then it goes to the dump.

BingoBoingo wonders in how many years Tesla vehicles will be routinely relieved of their batteries.
asciilifeform: they use lithium rechargeables, afaik
asciilifeform: so, about the same life as 'macbook'
BingoBoingo: Recently replaced the laptop battery after 3 years. Lithium ion seems more influenced by time decay that cycles, to the extent I have noticed so far
asciilifeform: rots on shelf. esp. when discharged.
asciilifeform: crystal growth.
BingoBoingo: Same happens when totally charged.
asciilifeform: Li. ion -> ~70% of design capacity after 2 yrs. typical.
asciilifeform: (optimistic)
BingoBoingo: This particular battery went from 5 hours charge to 5 minutes charge over three years. Breaking point on replacing it was it could no longer sustain a whole cigarette's worth of time away from the cord.
asciilifeform: it's a kind of scam. 'showroom optimization', like glossy lcd panels.
asciilifeform: new gizmo has 2x the life vs. varient with, say, nickel metal hydride cell
asciilifeform: but dies on schedule.
BingoBoingo: Yeah, I'd prefer a computer with less speed and a 20 year RTG for power, no recharging necessary.

asciilifeform: and won't cook yer balls, unless you wet it.
BingoBoingo: That is some useful math. The lithium coin cells, can also generally survive 10+ years in a constant low drain environment...
asciilifeform: (reduction to practice left as exercise for alert reader.)

TheNewDeal: continuously variable transmission?
