asciilifeform: like that spam template, yes.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: but given things like obfuscated c competition << you were probably thinking of the 'underhanded c' competition.
asciilifeform: as i said, let's grunt out what happens if composite.
asciilifeform: (trivial example - 2^4 - 1 == 15.)
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: though it will further imperil folks who are enciphering on hardware without proper rng.
asciilifeform: though i'd succumb to the temptation of popping in to visit mr. tesla, possibly
asciilifeform: as per kakobrekla's stern warning some weeks ago, a full-bore approach (complete with future gallows) for shitgnomes has the flipside of needing to ensure against ending up swinging there by mistake.
asciilifeform: i own such a mouse, came with a prehistoric 'sun pizza box.' they have very little in common with modern optical mice - simply a pair of photodiodes and matching emitters
asciilifeform: i'll guess that he started with a clean satoshi-era snapshot - brought up to compatibility with extant network
asciilifeform: kakobrekla: numpad forever.
asciilifeform: jurov: perhaps i should not have said 'mining' specifically. idea here is that once the buggers give up trying to destroy bitcoin, they will transition to employing any and all tools at their disposal - for robbery.
asciilifeform: at any rate, btc mining is the 'fulda gap moment' for all of these folks. all the shitgnomery corrupting, subverting computing mechanisms of every kind - suddenly, it all had a purpose.
asciilifeform: so far, there's been no reason for non-retarded people to care, because - we don't even have computers yet.
asciilifeform: the other thing happening is that the lizardmen will never pass by a good excuse to 'regulate' (ban) powerful general-purpose computers.
asciilifeform: not entirely unlike u.s. 'fee simple.'
asciilifeform: decimation: complicated.
asciilifeform: compressed.
asciilifeform: templeos << terry davis is a 'stainless steel rat.' just, a more skilled one than i am
asciilifeform: (who, it appears, believes that organized stampede is the answer. well, doesn't really believe it answers the puzzle, but thinks it wrong not to at least try)
asciilifeform: shoehorns are a neglected but important piece of infrastructure!
asciilifeform: champions of synaesthesia.
asciilifeform: but more important.
asciilifeform: i presently get my (and got the woman addicted likewise, when first met even) sprat fix from a german importer in wash. dc
asciilifeform: importers.
asciilifeform: 'things can be made as simple as possible, not simpler.'
asciilifeform: although, i'll spill the one bean, that the point of my particular long-term 'fits in head' compaction for it, is to determine (for my own perverse pleasure) whether: it works.
asciilifeform: i simply didn't zap win32, left it for other folks
asciilifeform: as with my example
asciilifeform: jurov: important thing is that patches and sigs must stay married
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: point is not to simply disable flag, but to whittle down the turd bitwise
asciilifeform contemplates mechanical ecdsa
asciilifeform: another game, invented by the same folks who brought us 'russian roulette' (imperial-era cavalry officers, bored out of their skulls) was called 'cuckoo'
asciilifeform wonders if this escapade will progress much faster than one could reasonably expect, on account of people like jurov, mircea_popescu, ben_vulpes - who actually use bitcoin 'in anger' - succumbing to the temptation to release some of their secret mods.
asciilifeform: '...since there're SO many Sega 64s floating around in the States and indeed, the world, there's probably many people alive today who wouldn't be if their governments could crack their secure messages. I'm told that at least two democratic revolutions were made possible, in part, due to PGP S-64. Right now, myself and several others are attempting to create a version of StegoSaur for the S-64. That one extra
asciilifeform: kakobrekla: north apple is best apple << that'd be soviet 'agat' computer ?
asciilifeform: how they could limit the balance << obvious! they watch the addr, if it's over limit - they pump out the excess, using privkey
asciilifeform: tempest horn doesn't have to belong to the crown.
asciilifeform: and wai wat, who ever said tempest needs to scale.
asciilifeform: done with automatics, usable by chimp, approx. the size of iPnohe (minus receiving horn)
asciilifeform: tempest.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: re: your chronicles: 'importprivkey' is more or less inescpable (how the fuck can one do anything technological with the thing, lacking it?)
asciilifeform: i gave example.
asciilifeform: doesn't get any smaller or simpler than scuttling the obvious crud.
asciilifeform: no chumpnet without a few of those can be considered complete.
asciilifeform: amazing company.
asciilifeform: i always hated the emphasis on those
asciilifeform hopes that folks have the sense to think about the merits of the approach, rather than simply start doing it
asciilifeform: diff output of readelf or objdump if you give a damn why this happened
asciilifeform: or simply in a mail-to-other-folks process
asciilifeform: linked turd is fresh but includes only a simple turd excision - removal of qt
asciilifeform: that any system where the 'patient' sees a blurred boundary between the trivial and the absolutely impossible - will produce the learned helplessness.
asciilifeform: jurov: i want a single 'nixed qt' diff, for example.
asciilifeform: no complaints whatsoever, that i was able to find, about deleting bins.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes, mircea_popescu, others: you must appreciate why this is necessary. it is direly important. our patch set must start with a known, traditional tree, and end with the end product.
asciilifeform: just preventing him (or rather, his chumpmeister) from fucking us
asciilifeform: ;;google when computers were human
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: mempool ?
asciilifeform: mike_c: 'things must be made as simple as possible, but not simpler'
asciilifeform: this is yet another case of compounding failure.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: so far i got qt and ssl snipped. mega-triumph! lol
asciilifeform: rushed aside the serious espionage implications of having backdoors in CPE; believing that -- for whatever reason -- everyone has a right to choose what software is running on electronic equipment installed in their own home or office. Nevertheless, I am expected to appear in court in a couple of weeks...'
asciilifeform: '...This ELA technique is used to visually detect any conflicting compression levels in an "photo"; indicating composite fakery in an image... On 19 June 2014, in relation to discoveries published on my media fakery blog, my home in Shropshire was raided by six police/intelligence officers; only two of whom identified themselves. An undocumented quantity of electronics equipment, including modems, computers, me
asciilifeform: at any rate, no sc4mz0r, he, i've no complaints. house does exactly what was printed on the tin.
asciilifeform: (his 'fuckyoumoney' was, he said, actually just 'temporarily fuckyou' and had run through. his dependopotamus had birthed.)
asciilifeform: decimation: but he certainly sat in comp sci grad school long enough to suffer the braindamage which produced those monstrosities
asciilifeform: decimation: actually i must disagree. i followed mr mold's project since the day i ferreted out the semi-public dump where he kept it
asciilifeform: 'At the 1980 Olympics, Brezhnev begins his speech. "O!"—applause. "O!"—an ovation. "O!!!"—the whole audience stands up and applauds. An aide comes running to the podium and whispers, "Leonid Ilyich, those are the Olympic logo rings, you don't need to read all of them!"'
asciilifeform: ze fuhrer says through his megaphone - whatever he is asked to say. for example, '38400 baud.' >> http://imgur.com/a/oZSiI
asciilifeform misses the mpoepr essays
asciilifeform: chumpnet node, snore
asciilifeform: decimation: what, precisely, would this accomplish?
asciilifeform: they simply took the spec & reimplemented.
asciilifeform: simple enough best, so there was no real need to make electron micrograph and laboriously reverse the mask
asciilifeform: decimation: if the chinese had simply copied the die, as folks often do, the vulnerability would be no surprise. but instead they reimplemented the thing bug-for-bug.
asciilifeform: *contemplating
asciilifeform peers into abyss, contempating evil assbot and gribble
asciilifeform: *not tempted

asciilifeform: at one point, chumpnet miners often went through tor
asciilifeform: people seem to forget why we even bought computers.
asciilifeform: 'A visitor received this implanted, false message today, promoting the market of certificates of authority and encryption. HTTPS fetishists are trying to coerce us into using the crappy security gambit. Ignore HTTPS monotheists. Online security promises are hokum. This is admitted on sec discussion fora. Pushers of HTTPS, Tor, crypto, secure drops are David Blaines.' (cryptome.)
asciilifeform: banks 24/7 << story. where i live, you can walk into the vestibule of a bank (where the atm often lives, on 'bad streets') using a magnetic card. implication is that it must be the bank's - but this is false.
asciilifeform: usually, entire floors empty.
asciilifeform: i give the library tidbit as an example of what, in my mind, 'not living as rat' involves
asciilifeform: rolled into that particular chumpatronic prize.
asciilifeform: here's a random example of what it costs to effectively think about problems in the physical sciences, without a Crown license.
asciilifeform: even the comparatively smaller undertaking i'm presently engaged in - still doesn't come cheap. (i speak of the tooling which i have not charged to the piggy, but also of the fact that i cannot convert btc to usd even for those portions where expenses invoiced. as previously recounted here.)
asciilifeform: 'fuck you money' is a very real item for which folks have a very real longing - because in fact, it is simply the desire to be released from workschwitz and arbeit macht frei.
asciilifeform: 'fuck you money,' if i recall, has the following etymology. the idea that if you came into $fuckyou, you could utter 'fuck you' to the boss at the plant tomorrow, and continue to live at least as well (consumption) as presently, indefinitely
asciilifeform: not as such, but at least suggest how the apparent unicorns are simply goats with horn glued on
asciilifeform: in those days, it was a kind of compressed 'crash course.'
asciilifeform: the digital computer is a beautiful dream. good and well, but you can't dream the dream without some 'meat' to dream it with.
asciilifeform: (how long it takes to fill your car? how long, on the road, to empty it?)
asciilifeform: how many times faster the spigot pours, than your fuel pump?
asciilifeform: but given example wasn't so bad, 'molten slag' is also a metastable state.
asciilifeform: think of a sheet of rubber with two dimples
asciilifeform: i often ask folks to contemplate, when they soak up 64g, what that number really means
asciilifeform: 'why no compressor for the jazz band?'
asciilifeform wonders if his entire life is alive somewhere in old mpex material.
asciilifeform: who the hell cares if it's simple
asciilifeform: one of the sad prices we paid when switched to digital computers is the inevitable forgetting that we are playing with physical machines, and not mathematical platonic forms.
asciilifeform: the notes will remain extremely easy for some, entirely impossible for others - to get.
asciilifeform: i had the rules of, e.g., baseball, explained to me - on more than one occasion - and promptly forgot the next day.
asciilifeform: 'They are not the first to blame Ebola for an ancient plague. Scientists and classicists in San Diego reported in 1996 that the symptoms of the plague of Athens around 430 BC, described by Thucydides, are remarkably similar to Ebola, including a distinctive retching or hiccupping. Apart from that, many of the symptoms of that plague- – and one in Constantinople in AD 540 – -were similar to the Black Death.'
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it would be, if it were simple to mirror. and every post signed.
asciilifeform: cross-compilation for linux/x86
asciilifeform: the only way to emphasize the gravity of submitting a change to bitcoind.
asciilifeform: git etc. is very tempting, sweet, yes
asciilifeform: static www hosting latest stable result of composition of gpg-signed patches from mailing list - yes, more yoga, but ultimately the Right Thing.
asciilifeform: it was still swamped, against rules, and the people who did the swamping accounted for a large fraction of the bums which appeared during collapse
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: naive idea. they unplugged this, to avoid ru proper being swamped with the entire contents of kazahstan, ua, baltics, all the provinces
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: but you were born in odessa ? then you do have ru citizenship no? << lol! the whole city would've emptied in '92 or even earlier, if this were so.
asciilifeform: (how did i make this inference? simply from the fact of the actual die not being a copy. which would have been the obvious explanation.
asciilifeform: they fake it because even if you implement a standard device class (e.g. HID) you have to fake someone's. or you fork over ~4k usd to parasite scum for a 'legit' id.
asciilifeform: start at temperature, e.g., 500K. then 'cooling'. theoretically 0K means it will -never- be reasonable to change it. ever.
asciilifeform: if you can get a signed gibblet in, by land, by sea, by pigeon - and signature is one of the chosen - message is in next broadcast. 'cheap and angry' - like 'mpex' et al.
asciilifeform: i dare suggest a simple antisp4mz0r filter for mailing list - only messages signed from +v #b-a folks accepted.
asciilifeform: i suggest going with whoever had the mailing list idea. emphasize the 'we sign things and so mechanism doesn't matter' aspect.
asciilifeform: hard as shit to filter << rigorously provably impossible.
asciilifeform: even contemplating basic auditability requires a 'capsule' that does not need to milk anything (save mains current) from the outside world, during build setup
asciilifeform: eveveryone please try to grasp why i suggest emulator. this gives a complete self-contained block of bits which reliably builds the apparatus. no external anything, ever.
asciilifeform: 'qemu' is simply a machine emulator (x86, mips, sparc, a few others) - we can use another if someone has a good reason to dislike qemu
asciilifeform: forget maps - if someone actually wants this, no joke, i'll simply crap it out. just say where we'll keep it.
asciilifeform: no, that's braindamaged. qemu image - complete minimal bsd with all components, boots up (emulated) on any arch from any culture.
asciilifeform reads the actual ad and notices it's simply generic derp, nothing to do with operating systems in the conventional sense of the word
asciilifeform: jurov: i almost think that scamatron was built as a deliberate attempt at personal insult for me
asciilifeform: othernubs`: picture if you were sending the damn thing back in time, to blaise p. for implementation on a gigantic Pascaline, or herr babbage, etc
asciilifeform: 1.20 dollars a day << ehehehe - no. not comparable figure with usa 1.20/diem. ro didn't have to pay rent, had no ruinous tax, cheap non-synthetic food even in the depths of collapse
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: but i have about the same amount of use for the information as a chimp does for pentium
asciilifeform: organisms with simple nervous systems, they are; while on the correct side of the tinted glass, will continue to think they are 'someone.'
asciilifeform would do it himself but lazy, hence the impetus for the whole proposal
asciilifeform: not that an electromagnetic shock absorber is impossible - it exists, and has for years - but no magic here.
asciilifeform: hat spoiled by these surly, scowling, raspy-voiced ogres and their flabby, overmedicated wives with voices like an unoiled hinge. When not aimlessly driving around, they sit in upscale restaurants, toying with their food and gossiping menacingly. They have long forgotten what it means to be happy and carefree, and their labored attempts at feigning enjoyment are painful to watch. You can be sure that the sight o
asciilifeform: 'This time of year, this part of Massachusetts is overrun by stampedes of shiny late-model SUVs with New York and New Jersey license plates. They are driven by various subspecies of the middle-aged well-to-do American Office Ogre—the lawyer, the doctor, the dentist, the banker, the lobbyist and the corporate businessman—the people who are attempting to run off with all the loot. The majestic scenery is somew
asciilifeform: ll be issued by a computer program, in absentia. In keeping with current practice, both the charge and the evidence will be kept secret. The newly minted felons will be dropped from voter rolls, their passports cancelled, their bank accounts confiscated, and their employment (if any) terminated. They will receive form letters informing them of their sentence but most of them will be unable to read it because fun
asciilifeform: 'With small businesses and private enterprise made illegal, most people will be forced to resort to illegal activities, under the watchful eye of the NSA. But since putting even more people in jail will be prohibitively expensive, a new, streamlined process of dispensing justice will be put into place: the NSA and the Justice Department will link computer systems, and verdicts of fraud and suspended sentences wi
asciilifeform: decimation: it's laundry / merit-washing. we simply don't know the details.
asciilifeform: decimation: in a same computing environment, nothing about 'downloading and executing arbitrary code' is frightening.
asciilifeform: 'As progressively dumber programmers build progressively more complex systems we will see more of this kind of attempt to paper over coding mistakes with lawyers, sanctions, policies, and laws. Hollywood and the RIAA are usually the most successful at getting the government to do their bidding. Thus I predict that one day Disney will have a Web site where you can buy access to any of their movies. Because all
asciilifeform: microshit still not razed and employees not publicly impaled, news at 11.
asciilifeform: if you're a very special customer, they'll pump in sarin/vx.
asciilifeform: doesn't actually fix anything, contrary to the implication in the url.
asciilifeform not entirely surprised to discover poetteringisms in: 'mplayer', 'firefox', a number of other packages
asciilifeform: not enough to simply vote at debian, its tendrils will have to be painfully and surgically excised from 1000 places.
asciilifeform: undata: the idea, as described on my site, is deadly-simple - no need for server, you 'speak' by sending btc to an address. others 'hear' by seeing what was sent. if the channel owner (owner of privkey to address) decides that you are persona non grata, you never see your coin again. otherwise, it is sent back after a while.
asciilifeform: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8478427 << gotta love the shitgnomes repeating their mantras of 'it was an accident111!11', 'security is impossibly hard!', 'never roll your own crypto', and other tiresome disinfo.
asciilifeform: kakobrekla: are these 'bitcoin atm' or simply usg meatprint collectors ?
asciilifeform still waiting for an actual computer offered for btc to which to move 'phuctor'
asciilifeform: the coals, red iron, lie detector - actually measure parasympathetic nervous response to stress etc
asciilifeform: decimation: much of the effect can be accomplished through lower-tech 'human' methods instead.
asciilifeform: incidentally, 'trial by ordeal' - in particular, methods which involve functions of the parasympathetic nervous system, e.g., hot coals or modern 'lie detector' - are ancient.
asciilifeform: the 'method' idea is possibly lifted from the jewish tradition (where you are not, in fact, asked to believe in god, but to simply carry out the program, as i understand.)
asciilifeform: (see mp's piece on 'methodism')
asciilifeform: and not simply a device for fooling jury (not all jurisdictions have jury trials) but for eliciting confession through intimidation (as 'lie detector' was once used for)
asciilifeform: and actual trials where this fact was brought in - and always the crown's side would proclaim - 'this is not a fact because simply inconceivable, law and order would collapse.'
asciilifeform: chetty: the whole purpose of 'biometric' crap is to administratively fix the designated chump as the permanently-designated chump.
asciilifeform: burden of proof (to impossible degree) will be on the chump, to show that his fingerprint was lifted.
asciilifeform: that is, the chump can once again be presumed guilty of fraud if he dares to contest a charge, just like in the 'bad old days.'
asciilifeform: good symbol of american degradation incidentally. afaik all examples produced in past 20 years or so - have 'zamac' parts.
asciilifeform: 'if i get 8 inches of crystalline unobtainium armour, i must be important'
asciilifeform: i'd say, half of it is 'the boot stamping on the human face forever' - sheer pleasure in herding the peasants, sticking finger into their anthills,
asciilifeform: just 'this area is temporarily restricted'
asciilifeform: in usa, most locales will impose serious fines or even yank cremation license for this.
asciilifeform: just like soviet partisans did (this aspect, naturally, was not emphasized in the children's books.)
asciilifeform: usg employs enormous numbers of these wretches. usually through subcontractors.
asciilifeform: fivezerotwo: though these folks aren't necessarily clinically stupid, any more than microshit employees are. just managed by the 'differently abled' with particular objectives that don't include elegance.
asciilifeform: fivezerotwo: why not take the time to grow your 5k into 500k with an improved virulent payload?
asciilifeform: whether or not nero actually fiddled while rome burned - here we have an entire symphonic orchestra.
asciilifeform: ru sp4mz0r steals cc #, charges 10k usd. on, e.g., 'amazon'; chumper reads his bill, complains, bank magically vacuums 10k+C (positive constant C, chargeback penalty) from 'amazon', plasma tv is nowhere to be found (drop house, magicked away)
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: they decided to "stop criminality" << not exactly. one set of criminals profits from every single penny of cc theft (bank) while another set (the sp4mz0r) gets to be made example of.
asciilifeform: the basic fact is, unless you have the infrastructure for reprocessing hot fiat into purified chumpatronium, botnet is not of particularly much use today.
asciilifeform: decimation: almost all turdware is plain trojan. only exploit is between the chumper's ears.
asciilifeform: many turdmeisters throttle the chump engines
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it has to be vulnerable to something, right ? << hate to disappoint, but 99% of the chumps are accounted for by perfectly lame trojans.
asciilifeform: luck + informational asymmetry == chumpatron.
asciilifeform: and in the case of the latter - they compare notes, throw the 'malefactors' out
asciilifeform: what casino wouldn't love to know if some fellow blessed by the gods to win $maxint that day (or simply a card counter) walks in?
asciilifeform: 'I would like to sell you some hunger insurance. Are you insured against hunger? Perhaps you should be! Without this coverage, you may find it impossible to continue to afford feeding yourself and your family. With this coverage, not only will you be assured of continuing to get at least some food, but so will I. In fact, thanks to this plan, I will get to eat very, very well indeed.'
asciilifeform: what i was suggesting is, that it is very difficult (not impossible, but close to it) to get people to shake off design-space constraints when it jumps costs by orders of magnitude.
asciilifeform: death ray becomes a byword for implausible fictional tech.
asciilifeform: as in, complete blueprints, drawn up b/w tractor runs
asciilifeform: decomposes beautifully.
asciilifeform: what if it takes actual resources, for example.
asciilifeform: and it might be important to ask, what qualifies as 'having' the better solution
asciilifeform: one does not take flight by ordering every horse, ox, pig in the empire, assessed for suitability for flight
asciilifeform: this - doesn't decompose.
asciilifeform: in that it decomposes into work for an army of people
asciilifeform: moon, incidentally, is trivial in comparison.
asciilifeform: somebody has an otherwise-idle chumpnet, clearly.
asciilifeform: (cough up some example where trilema and nontrilema links share the top box)
asciilifeform: 'Wolf went on, "The weight of a wasp is under half an ounce. Compared with a human being its size is minute, its strength negligible. Its sole armament is a tiny syringe holding a drop of irritant, formic acid, and in this case it didn't even use it. Nevertheless it killed four big men and converted a large, powerful car into a heap of scrap." "I see the point," agreed Mowry, "but where do I come in?" "Right h
asciilifeform: above the level of the folks who are merely practicing, there's someone who is making a point. same point as every king ever. public impalement to show he still 'has it.'
asciilifeform: someone could probably make a 'thinking man's Doom' (a la 'Thief') based on the premise of intelligent saboteur/terrorist, who plants limpets, burns reichstags, etc. -- but the author is likely to end up having problems.
asciilifeform: is in fact about a prison planet modelled very closely on russian prison (by a former employee, and well-loved blogger Goblin)
asciilifeform: not at all conspiratorially competent.
asciilifeform: then he's caught, pleads that he's simply very forgetful
asciilifeform: sufficiently advanced incompetence is equivalent to malice, or how did it go.
asciilifeform: re: chumps << witness the number of 'what did he do wrong111?!!?' imbeciles in the anonabox reddit thread.
asciilifeform: 'a messenger from the courts, who handed him a stack of legal documents—three inches thick. Somewhere in that stack—buried in all the legalese—was the news that Microsoft had taken control of his company, but Durrer didn’t have time to read it. Almost immediately, his pager lit up with messages saying the company’s internet services had stopped working.'
asciilifeform: or if the chumps pull out in the ~month they have left to do so
asciilifeform: interestingly, if you load the 'kickstarter' page, you can see the chump counter dropping. very slowly.
asciilifeform: Azelphur: because elaborate public lie, complete with doctored photos and claims of openable source that physically cannot be fulfilled?
asciilifeform: apparently complete with backdoor.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it's the basic unified theory for all the sc4mz0rz who don't simply take the money&run, never to be heard of again
asciilifeform: only so many basic mechanics for running chumpatron.
asciilifeform: where chumpwheel operator offers a chance to 'win back' loss for $smallint
asciilifeform: perhaps the chumps can be fleeced yet more?
asciilifeform: probe reaction? see if sympathetic idiots appear?
asciilifeform: by virtue of powerful cock-suction compressor
asciilifeform: aka, very roughly, turncoat, but with the implication of being a stinking little chameleon who never wants for anything regardless of who's on the throne
ascii_on_tour: 5210 x 2880 << that's one of the mac-with-lcd combo boxes, so extra $1k for comp that i haven't any use for. but i'm told that one can plug in an external cable.
asciilifeform: let's picture that these are all chumps who own asic coffee pot warmers or the like.
asciilifeform: say you have 500,000 chumpers. what'll you do.
asciilifeform: because actually monetizing all but the most astonishingly large chumpnet for btc has become virtually impossible.
asciilifeform: ^atypically long example
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: degradation of metal goods proceeded by a similar, if not entirely identical way as organics - not impurities as such (modern alloys are chemically superior to those of the past) but through using tech that ought not be used
asciilifeform: 100 percent machined parts, nothing stamped, nothing made of shitmetal (e.g. 'zamac')
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: employees hadn't machines so armed << employees owned the shirts on their backs
asciilifeform: american chumps, as i understand, are worth most
asciilifeform: i.e., the chumpers need to be busied somehow
asciilifeform: worth his time << chumpnet is like a truck - most of the cost of ownership, assuming you own it, is a fixed cost
asciilifeform: ddos is a basic attribute of any system where strangers can impose a cost on you at little to no cost to themselves.
asciilifeform: just can't help spotting symptoms of delusion
asciilifeform was under the impression that some of the people here intended to make this item happen
asciilifeform: just example.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu objected to the examples i gave as 'scientific journal'
asciilifeform: once q transforms into the kind of thing which is presently lucrative, it will cease to be distinguishable from the despised competition.
asciilifeform: these things probably do electrical impedance / and/or acoustic profile.
asciilifeform: various sec flaws being 'hangout' leaks is a hypothesis compatible with their continued active exploitation by their authors (usg)
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: ted nelson wanted to accomplish something like this, in his '60s-present concept
asciilifeform: one of my first experiences playing with btc was an attempt to make my ddosers... mine.
asciilifeform: jurov: better in the sense that there was a contemporary translation that is still largely readable to modern germans without an archaeological bent.
asciilifeform: go find the 'broadside ballads' of the time, for example.
asciilifeform still puzzled on how adding a trilema post to qntra fixes the broken concept of 'news.' but perhaps is simply not the target audience ?
asciilifeform: 'literacy' as understood by extant managerial civilization (usa, friends, imitators) is simply the ability to fill out forms and perform other simple mechanics of the giant meat computer of bureaucracy.
asciilifeform: yes, in the popular imagination, 'exposing' something is as simple as printing a few words.
