asciilifeform: first, look to see if copy-1 does anything -other- and load & jump to copy-2.
asciilifeform: drop it somewhere it won't be tampered with, & sign it (ok if you wanna gpg it to wot folks instead of publicly)
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: is it because most folks need fallback employment if a job falls through? sure - but if a craftsman is needed badly, he will go on tour to antarctica. so long as the costs are covered.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: fact remains, they could get reversers. it's just another kind of craftsman, like heart surgeon. they would simply have to pay the fee
asciilifeform: ^ example
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the ubiquiti example dovetails nicely with the thread re: unemployed reversers. if persians happily buy turdware, they either haven't many, or haven't any competent ones, or they are all occupied with something else (what ?)

asciilifeform: 'It said in its prospectus that certain of its products were sold to Iran, Cuba, Syria, the Sudan and North Korea and that some of its encryption components were sold without the appropriate export authorization… A review of Ubiquiti's sales to Iran by the Department of Commerce's Office of Export Enforcement earlier this year resulted in a warning letter, but no criminal or administrative prosecution or other penalties -- b
asciilifeform: owed them to continue for another year, until February 2011, OFAC said. The company said, in a filing released Thursday, that until early 2010 it didn’t prohibit its distributors from selling its products to Iran. After it learned of the potential violations, the company said that it failed to immediately ‘amend all its distribution agreements and to implement more robust compliance controls.’'
asciilifeform: 'Ubiquiti “demonstrated reckless disregard for U.S. sanction” law, and allowed its wireless equipment to be exported into Iran through distributors located in the United Arab Emirates and Greece, according to a release from the U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control. The firm had no compliance program at the time, according to the release. And even after Ubiquiti learned that the transactions broke U.S. law, the company all

asciilifeform: must add also that the possibility of emulating a reasonably unix-capable computer is relatively recent. in university 'operating systems' courses in '99 folks were still rebooting actual pc, with floppy, 500 times a day. in 2006 - qemu.
asciilifeform: and 3) static builds never really worked for items of any complexity

asciilifeform: i suppose one can patent a chumpatron.
asciilifeform: let's say i said 'i think dijkstra was doing it right.' that would imply that i am in favour of structured programming, against the use of 'goto', and in favour of 99.999% of programming students being flunked and similar fraction of the practitioners of that profession - being fired.

For instance, Friend Computer might assign a team of Red Troubleshooters to re-paint a hallway that ought to be Orange but was painted Yellow by mistake the Commie Mutant Traitors.

asciilifeform: the third choice, included for completeness, is that we do none of this
asciilifeform: but is a more complex beast
asciilifeform: and mips is a very simple and well-defined cpu arch.
asciilifeform: it has simplified hardware, not copied from any physical machine sold. quite like many similar emulators used in schools
asciilifeform: if the cross-compile is failing because it's a cross-compile << cross-compile is the gold standard for correctness
asciilifeform: mod6: cross compile

asciilifeform: it is a simple enough beast
asciilifeform: given that i do not especially feel like publishing the entire contents of my disk, nor could you replicate my machine easily (most of the components are no longer produced) - the next best thing is to somehow create an equivalent

asciilifeform: so 'tempest' is mistake in terminology here
asciilifeform: 'Although it may seem unnecessary, the data socket (marked МАШИНА II) must be connected, as otherwise the machine will not work. This is done to ensure the use of the TEMPEST feature (see below). ' << seems to imply that it was a straight pass-through
asciilifeform: i can see this being given to unreliable warsaw pact nations to -amplify- their tempest emanations

ascii_field: perhaps he meant the old meaning of word 'employ'
ascii_field: going purely based on historical example here.
ascii_field: because when hitler says 'funkenstein_ does not get to eat any more, anyone found feeding him will be fed to lampreys' what will funkenstein_ reply ?
ascii_field: nubbins`: but even something like living in a dwelling without the company of strangers is a titanically expensive luxury in most of the world

ascii_field: nubbins`: i can name, if i want, a hundred people who live in dumpsters.
ascii_field: trinque: the implications are unsurprising. merely a friendly reminder from usg that anyone in range is fair game to it to rape with a telephone pole, and that - unless you're mircea_popescu, putin, or one of a hundred other folks who can say 'no' and make it stick, all you can do is to wait your turn.

'dacha' literally means '[that which is] given.' as in, granted as reward by the king. in soviet times, it was of course not 'given' (except to officials, but even then was not their personal property but more like obama's car.) but for normal folks, the standard was an unheated cabin and the regulation 100 sq. metres of garden.

They often hold advanced degrees in disciplines such as Technical Schmoozing and Relativistic Bean-counting. They are obsess

asciilifeform: nubbins`: please consider using a real computer, or if you must crapple - a vm
asciilifeform: nubbins`: interesting observation is that the 'friedcat algorithm' only worked because miners can be let secretly to sit and mine, amplifying the proceeds of that scam
asciilifeform: because it isn't turing-complete
asciilifeform: Chillum: reliable computing is somewhat more than parity calculations. ('voting' protocols, heterogeneous cpus calculating same problem, etc)
asciilifeform: it's either consumer 50 or else spend 5mn. exactly like wines. << mircea_popescu probably did not intend this double meaning, but it is EXACTLY like wines at this point. because the 5mn computer you can get today is not actually any but a cosmetic 'golden toilet' improvement over the 50.

asciilifeform: trinque: by all means build cross-compiler for your system, but when i put the buildroot thing up it will carry its own

ascii_field: i, for example, only need to cycle power to the 'pogo' to test a newly-built turdel.
asciilifeform: the collaborationists were amply supplied, even with caviar, almost until the end.
asciilifeform: if you start conducting anti-usg commerce there, your immediate vicinity will eventually get slightly less empty.
asciilifeform: the absolute innermost circle of hell is the company of other -poor people-
asciilifeform: (just as example)
asciilifeform: the output is a kernel and a rootfs (in 'turdel', deliberately baked into one binary to simplify testing)
asciilifeform: decimation: this will make, e.g., setting static ip, impossible
asciilifeform: normal box has at least the entropic component of cpu vs real time clock frequency drift.
asciilifeform: decimation: depends what is meant by 'employees'
asciilifeform: decimation: and afaik he never followed any analogue of 'ascii_field can talk and i will say if it was an impostor yesterday' principle
asciilifeform: i don't see the fear component here
asciilifeform: the damage from tsarnavev & tsarnaev was roughly comparable to a small 'pile up' wreck on the highway.
asciilifeform: i mean, sachs thinks they're part of the same chumpatron, yes
asciilifeform: of bitcoind, for example.
asciilifeform: still think 'usg as high-tech north kr is impossible', ?
asciilifeform: (i don't like dhcp myself, for example)
asciilifeform: nubbins`: not unlike the 'playstation' supercomputing clusters and sony's response
asciilifeform: at any rate, i'll summarize for the impatient. according to sachs, snowden heap was lifted. but under cia (his original and actual employer) direction. and then carefully selected.
asciilifeform: and that details of -specific- compromises, clearly apparent from context in some of the docs, were scrubbed
asciilifeform: 'Assange and Snowden are cold or actively insulting and hostile to real dissidents. For example, Assange grossly insults anyone who does not believe the absurd US gov story about 11 Sep 2001 - which no serious person believes. Assange insults the thousands of architects, engineers, US military and intelligence veterans, who continually describe how the 'official story' is a fraud. '
