mircea_popescu: but this is what the item IS
mircea_popescu: which is why the usecase for the phone is, "i met this chick last night at the rave"
mircea_popescu: the fundamental problem is that the phone isn't this tool whereby you maintain one to one permanent links with aforeknown parties. the phone is this tool whereby you make new links with random new parties.
a111: Logged on 2016-10-24 23:00 mircea_popescu: you wanted to know why nobody made crypto telephone. the reason is - there's no market. the reason there's no market, you explained yourself.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-10-24#1558729 << it so happens that there is a (lemon) market.

mircea_popescu: somehow the fall of rutba failed to make it through the usg blocade, too.
mircea_popescu: and wtf is this, no more trump news, no more mosul news, what is this gross failure of the united entertainment machine!

asciilifeform: so you... GIVE the gurl the phone.
asciilifeform: just moment earlier there was a 'disposable phones, cheap' thread
asciilifeform: the only device that is safe to operate 'drunk at 3am' is one's pillow.

a111: Logged on 2013-12-12 17:34 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform recall the lolphonograph they had on a ship during ww2 ?
asciilifeform: and in the end, 1 phone on desk per talker.
mircea_popescu: if you ever talk to 1 other box calling this a telephone is nothing short of idiotic.
asciilifeform: if you only ever talk to 1 other box - perfectly practical.
asciilifeform: for the bloody 7th time...
asciilifeform: there are 0 on the market. and afaik there have always been 0.
asciilifeform: that being said, one of the surest ways to begin to 'have problems' is to market an honest POTS-with-crypto telephone set.
asciilifeform: speaking here of the analogue voice 'POTS' variety.
asciilifeform: adlai: landlines are headed to extinction on a good chunk of the planet.
adlai: "The DP 01 has a visual answering machine which sorts recorded messages by date and time... messages are accessible from any other paired DP 01 handset." < looks like a decent landline, probably a more resilient niche than dumbphone given the holeyness visible in https://opensignal.com/

ben_vulpes: great thing about keeping a decent fidelity scale in the office is impromptu coffee tasting experiments
asciilifeform: and as if the infrastructure for this were not already in place at every telco on planet3 ?
mircea_popescu: no i mean you gotta actually send the pill to it
asciilifeform: (all of the examples i personally know of, are perfectly reflashable-via-baseband, just same as crapple etc.)
ben_vulpes: no devices are allowed in the war room.
asciilifeform: i will point out that the one ~admitted~ case of usg-sent-magic-packet-and-switched-on-the-mike involved a 'dumbphone'.
mircea_popescu: check out the fine degrees!
ben_vulpes: but the internet terminal living in the backpack and not my pocket is an improvement.
mircea_popescu: wel they can't send him pdfs now...
mircea_popescu: now shoes on the other hand, they're different. there's certainly the "i'll buy you this 30 dollar pair of red stilettos, which you then forget in the cab and nobody cares". there's also the fine italian leather shoes which are worth whatever they cost. so dunno.
mircea_popescu: so the only thing left for it is to be cheap.
mircea_popescu: until/unless they import the republican license, there's no market for "good" phones. because a phone that's not predicated on breaking the law can't be good.
mircea_popescu: generally the later are the sort of thing where quality is directed towards the state rather than you. like phones.
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: c'est possible. likely runs android under the hood even.
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: the unboxing experience is strongly reminiscent of early apple

mircea_popescu: they should just s/united states of america/the country of 5%/ and be done with it

mircea_popescu: http://archive.is/RVSq8 << this is some of the lulziest shit... what % of your content is shown to "your" followers ? used to be ~15%, by now it's about 5%.
mircea_popescu: ot without safeguards (because yes, they're THAT dedicated to security) : first email received didn't get delivered, instead they just sent a notification from facebook explaining... how to opt out. after which they sent all further emails straight up. consequently emailing the entire facebook userbase was ~trivial.
mircea_popescu: summary : facebook gave everyone @facebook.com address back in 2012 (and forced everyone to download a meanwhile failed "facebook messenger", before buying some thing meanwhile forgotten for more play money than ever seen before in any game of monopoly). the user was simply the facebook user. then they axed this service... and started forwarding all mail to the user's personal inbox. because yes, they're THAT important. but n

mircea_popescu: but then again, it is the necessary fate of isolated motherhood. they've set out to build AI and ended up building a meta-Lucy instead. apparently spontaneous organisation emerges in chimps with "humanities" degrees before it emerges in doped silicone.
mircea_popescu: it's funny when the "elites" in question fall to the level of abjection of not even being able to discuss courses of action other than in the terms of "what do actual people do".
mircea_popescu: ie "china wants to make a consolidated version of our flylists, credit scores, etc [therefore they are good" ; or "russia wants trump president [therefore "we" should not vote for him".
mircea_popescu: trinque re that "china wants to" bit, best i can figure there's two thugs and a whore ; and the "new york elites" running the whore's mouth (writing plenty of checks its ass can't actually cash) have arbitrarily decided thug #1 is good, thug #2 is bad. in which contexts pieces like "look what thug X is doing" simply serve as a psychologically-defended mechanism for the mouth to try and direct the movements of the ass.

mircea_popescu: what are all these self-important dorks gonna do when we start charging 0.1 ?
shinohai: What's new there. He always makes up own terminology.
asciilifeform: in other 'news', antonouwhateverderp apparently gave a talk to 'sv investors' et al where he plagiarized protocol-vs-promise wholesale and made up own terminology, etc.
shinohai: Probably what they are awaiting to see if one does, despite the 60-second "We promise"
mircea_popescu: i expect 60 bux keeps the entire "rich democratic western world" well out.

mircea_popescu: Peace further stated to Motherboard that the current breach was accomplished by opening "a backdoor that had been publicized on the hacking forum Hell" The Russian language forum was the site where the data from the previous hack was listed for sale at a price of 70 BTC.

asciilifeform: interesting detail, the described scenario relates strictly to 'python3', 'python2' -- installs normally.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the tale is not interesting because microshit phones home, this is known even to schoolchildren, it is interesting because 'open sores' now INSISTS on MICROSHIT update enabled
mircea_popescu: microsoft wanted to phone home the moment it could, back in 95 or such
asciilifeform: so microshit folk can 'enjoy' the 'best of two worlds'...
asciilifeform: but now the wonderful 'dependency hell' has been IMPORTED there.

mircea_popescu: note however that the whole "domain is valuable" bullshit this entire scam is predicated on doesn't carry any water. i expired mpex domains, polimedia.us etc. cost =0.
mircea_popescu: it was unavoidalbe, derps paid 1mn to govt and now want to get it back from society. because that's what "business" is, finding novel ways to move money from the rays to the star center.
ben_vulpes: wacky .tlds are "eighty eight cents (plus fee) (for the first year and then hundreds per year after that)"
