asciilifeform: § 2466. The claimants appeal the judgment on several grounds, most prominent among them that the district court lacked jurisdiction over the defendant property because it resides in foreign countries, that fugitive disentitlement violates constitutional due process, and that disentitlement in this case was improper because the claimants are not fugitives from the law. Finding these arguments unpersuasive, we affirm the district cou

So back in 2002, when MaxMind was first choosing the default point on its digital map for the center of the U.S., it decided to clean up the measurements and go with a simpler, nearby latitude and longitude: 38°N 97°W or 38.0000,-97.0000.

Little, Inc., of Cambridge, Mass., issued a small report describing the methods employed by the firm's chemists to create "silk" from pork byproducts.

The specification is faithfully implemented in Linux kernel version 3.6 (from 2012) and beyond, and affects a wide range of devices and hosts. In a nutshell, the vulnerability allows a blind off-path attacker to infer if any two arbitrary hosts on the Internet are communicating using a TCP connection. Fu

asciilifeform: well, if you actually were to read the ada standard, it has a massive annex specifying ~optional~ components.
asciilifeform: 'standard', in industrial world, has a meaning. it is a document which at least ~attempts~ an exhaustive description of an object, with an aim to enabling reader to re-create it.
asciilifeform: attempts to WHOLLY detach a standard from particular artifacts - e.g., si def of the metre in terms of cesium atom cross-sections - have not gone far.
asciilifeform: on a martian computer.

asciilifeform: '...employees of the DFAS were routinely told by superiors to take “unsubstantiated change actions” commonly referred to as “plugging” the numbers. These “plugs” – which amounted to falsifying financial records – were then used to create the appearance that the military’s financial data matched that of the U.S. Treasury Department’s numbers when discrepancies in the financial data couldn’t be accounted for, acco

asciilifeform: 'Julianne McKinney reports that back in the 1980s and 1990s, persons complaining of electronic harassment were dismissed as “wavies,” and the government took the position that electronic weapons simply did not exist. The government no longer takes this position, she notes, but the “wavies” of yore are still a threat, apparently, so propaganda pieces alleging mental illness are now the preferred mode of attempted discrediting
asciilifeform: 'We spend a lot of money on things like security audits, compliance, understanding the laws of each country where we operate, obtaining regulatory licenses around the world, great engineering, and many more mundane areas like lunches for employees (there is a competitive market to hire the best people out there).' << gold.

They switched their RSA implementation from GMP's mpz_powm() function to mpz_powm_sec(), which is supposed to be sidechannel resistant. However mpz_powm_sec() is no drop-in replacement. Unlike mpz_pown() it doesn't accept even moduli and crashes with a floating point error. Therefore when trying to use a specifically crafted RSA key with an even modulus this will crash. '
asciilifeform: to move yet again up the stack: mining machinery is improved by engineers, who - if not went to a school, at least are literate - rather than by gawkers who 'drinkin' beers, beers, beeers' in front of the mine, suggest 'hey bubba let's weld on a SHIT HANGING OFF THE SIDEZ'

asciilifeform: fabio__: understand, also, that someone who offers you a more complicated (i.e. more moving parts) cryptosystem without ~justification~, is attempting to compromise your security, no less than if he were stalking in your garden under the cover of night bristling with cameras and antennae
asciilifeform: ~contemplate~ whatever suits your fancy -- folks have... contemplated, e.g., trains with triangular wheels riding on sinusoidal rails.
asciilifeform: it is, for instance, not proven that rsa reduces to difficulty of factoring integers, or what complexity class factoring is in.

asciilifeform: whereas if syria pumps, isis loots, and then sells for pennies on the dollar - then yes.
asciilifeform: and mircea_popescu appears to be deliberately glossing over important difference between asciilifeform in petro thread and the proverbial 'all functions are convex!!1111' kid above
asciilifeform: the above is why i never dug into the 'pricing of energetics' thing in detail - i find he subj quite similar to, e.g., usg unemployment figures - i have no access to the seeeekrit evidence required to cut away the fiction from the reality
asciilifeform: the 100, as i understand, is a more honest figure, it factors in actual trend (no prizes for guessing: down) in production, aint nobody making moar of it.. - and is less affected by the anti-ru dumping presently in effect
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-29#1511402 << nobody complained in the 10,001 times i mentioned 'the cost of microshit'
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-29#1511386 << argument concerned simple principle: if folks dun feel like counting gulf war I and II, and ~all~ wahabbi derpery, etc. as 'part of cost of petro', i can just as readily say that fukushima, chernobyl are 'not in the cost' of fission-power. etc
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: this entire thread reminds me of a uniquely-american, incidentally, pasttime: impassioned defense of the heathen imperial system of weights&measures
asciilifeform: americans cancerously growing to the point where they import by the megatonne?
asciilifeform: but that ~nobody paid anything like the actual cost of his petro-ride at the pump, in half a century or so.
asciilifeform: trinque: generally a deliberate bargain is implied - otherwise, 'living cost him his life'
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-28#1511290 << y'know, just because envirocrats impose tax on usaschwitz inmates, to pay for al gore's yachts - does not mean that externalities dun exist.
asciilifeform: roll, e.g., simply the costs of there being such a thing as saudi arabia. if you like, ~solely~ of property damage from attributed explosions.
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: do you imagine that your payment at he pump comes remotely close to covering the actual coat of the liquid dino?
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: compare cost per joule of your mains socket to petrol (in whatever locale) for some lulz.
asciilifeform: i recall somebody here was attempting a version of buildroot that downloads nothing
asciilifeform: when i 'but why let mouse go', it was from impatience.
asciilifeform: (i.e. only on the mempool end? or on both ends ?)
asciilifeform: can also buy wampum and beads and resell to bagholders
asciilifeform: it is only a question of who the chump is in a given operation.
asciilifeform: (are they simply out of circulation? or usable somewhere)
asciilifeform: i suspect that the main problem is the computer.
asciilifeform: i thought these were folx with 'no two empanadas to rub together'
asciilifeform: this database is part of a regulatory push that the EU got rolling after the Paris November 2015 terror attacks, and which it officially put forward in February 2016, and later approved at the start of July 2016. Legally, this is an attempt to reform the Anti-Money Laundering Directive (AMLD).'
asciilifeform: picture a pistol that shoots 'implicit object'.
asciilifeform: then the matchstick chariot i made as a kid, pulled by beetles, is competition for ferrari.
asciilifeform: or is dsl somehow 'competition'
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: when you say 'competition', do you mean that you can get fiber from the other 2 ?
asciilifeform: and incidentally i am pretty sure that at this very moment i am in a town where the nearest foodstamp recipient is a full day's walk away.
asciilifeform: i thought orlov was stretching the truth, but apparently not - the new Official Narrative is 'trump is ru agent'
asciilifeform: Link That we send it to you and run it and extract it in a safe place on your computer
asciilifeform: (mempool also validates)
asciilifeform: (quite likely to be either empty, underpressure, or 'halotron' substitute.)
asciilifeform: via simple asphyxia.
asciilifeform: halon dump was not dangerous , as such. but the co2 tanks that replaced it by usg fiat - WOULD kill.
asciilifeform: but by removing the coordination complex you need for combustion.
asciilifeform: in otherer still nyooz, holy shit, i found a hidden bottle of ... halon, in this house. stamped 1986.
asciilifeform stumped, on account of insufficient dirigible experience
