decimation: "Let’s talk about encryption. What’s wrong with what Google and Apple are doing? You have encrypted email — shouldn’t everybody have encrypted email, or have their protections? Everybody should. And I’m a strong believer in strong encryption."
decimation: "I’m as strong as I have been. I think the only concern is our law enforcement is expected to stop every plot. Every attack. Any bomb on a plane. The first time that attack takes place in which it turns out that we had a lead and we couldn’t follow up on it, the public’s going to demand answers." < 'leadership' at its finest
asciilifeform: bureaucrats, snore.
decimation: "So there’s no scenario in which we don’t want really strong encryption. The narrow question is going to be if there is a proper request for … this isn’t bulk collection, this isn’t sort of fishing expeditions by government."
decimation: we want strong encryption that can be compromised
decimation: now that's something I can stand for!
decimation: "And you’re still with the BlackBerry, right?

assbot: Logged on 18-02-2015 14:49:27; nubbins`: Save us from confusing grammar such as “everyone must have their books.” Make it instead “everyone must have zher books.” It then becomes clear that each person must have one’s own book and not the books of all the others. It is also shorter and less awkward than having to say “his or her” all the time.

PeterL: what is the world coming to when you talk to a computer instead of a person when interviewing for a job?
jurov: the computer asked the questions?
lobbes: after one of my last interviews I almost would've preferred that; the dude was so dejected it was depressing
PeterL: yes, well, they were printed on the screen, and I talk into the camera to answer
PeterL: if the guy interviewing you is dejected, doesn't that tell you something about the company?
lobbes: exactly why I didn't take it lol
lobbes: which I guess you can't glean from a computer, so..
PeterL: a couple jobs ago, when I interviewed the guy grabbed a random coworker and asked "don't you like working here", they were like "ummmmmmm, sure?" that should have been a sign, but I took job anyway
PeterL: and I hate the question "how much did your last job pay, and what do you expect to get paid"? Are they going to throw out my resume if I say too high a number? Obviously they won't go above the number I say, right?

decimation: perhaps 'geek parents' having children at >35 has something to do with the autism rates
BingoBoingo: Perhaps, also could be an overextension of labels
decimation: yeah 'overdiagnosis' is probably a problem too
BingoBoingo: I tend towards much of the "diagnosis" that begets pathology not being such at all
decimation: well, as has been covered by tlp, there is much profit to be made in labeling pathologies

asciilifeform: (milling away excess)
mircea_popescu: aha
asciilifeform: it is a fairly popular method for making small/simple pcb
decimation: there are a few cnc machines marketed for this purpose
asciilifeform: when you have a cnc mill but don't feel like screwing with photography
decimation: although I would not want to breathe the copper/fiberglass fumes
asciilifeform: decimation: milling's usually done in a specially-designated place regardless

decimation: yeah
BingoBoingo: "Soldier Mask"
asciilifeform when makes pcb at home, uses the ancestral method - like b&w photo
decimation: that honestly seems easier than milling
decimation: plus it really isn't all that toxic
asciilifeform: when lacking a cnc mill, definitely easier...
asciilifeform: variably toxic depending on your etchant
decimation: I suspect it yields finer geometry too
asciilifeform: now that is certain.
mircea_popescu: the phone in toaster guy is clearly shopping on the wrong silkroad clone.
asciilifeform: although some folks with uncommonly fine mills get similar result
decimation: 'uncommonly fine mill' would pay for much etchant
asciilifeform: usually it's folks who own a mill anyway.
decimation: I would be interested if you could feel a blank pcb and a pile of random parts into a machine, press the magic button, and pop out an assembled board
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: 'The backplanes contain 230 cards, approximately 10,148 diodes, 1409 transistors, 5615 resistors, and 1674 capacitors. Cards only used for interconnect were not counted.' << the important point is element miniaturization then vs now. at the time, 1k transistors > 100 lbs. today, 1k tranzistors < 1oz.
mircea_popescu: this is important for many reasons, it has cascade effect : shorter paths, less heat etc etc.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: what transistor are you thinking of ?
mircea_popescu: a pdp could probably be cloned today by hand in a finite timespan, fit in box.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the 2 gram shits i had as a kid ?
asciilifeform: if it's of the kind one can individually hold in a hand, they are quite the same
asciilifeform: aha those
mircea_popescu: no they're not!
mircea_popescu: you kidding me, the thing had glass diodes.
decimation: if you allow logic gate ic's you could reduce the transistor count
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu is thinking of soviet-style metal 'tin can' transistor as being used in the pdp, and is correct
mircea_popescu: but foir the sake of argument, made by hand from discrete semi parts.
BingoBoingo: PDP could be cloned in 1990 on Classic Game Boy
mircea_popescu: still they're 1k ligther today than in 1940
mircea_popescu: 1k times
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: we were considering discrete transistors
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: as in, 'non-integrated' circuit
mircea_popescu: disintegrated circuit lol
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Indeed In am consiering diving boarda
BingoBoingo: *boards
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: one can get bare-die transistors
asciilifeform: is probably what one would use.
mircea_popescu: probably.
mircea_popescu: just sayin, you know ? could prolly be made in a box, if one felt like placing 100k items by hand. if he works 8 hours a day at this, it won't take 10 years.
asciilifeform: place the dies, obviously, robotically
BingoBoingo: File this in reasons I did not make a nubrub for my OBSD bitcoin-qt build
asciilifeform: (helps if there's some redundancy)
mircea_popescu: well die transistors autoplaced is prolly about on par with making yourself a 3d gun that works.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: arbitrarily fine placement is mainly a question of the guidance optics
mircea_popescu: or how many chinese girls one has.
asciilifeform: the mechanicals can be driven with astonishingly small steps, as is
mircea_popescu: but principally optics.
asciilifeform: folks routinely carry out 'surgeries' on single cells
asciilifeform: the equipment involved is scarcely even electric
asciilifeform: (led light, mainly)
decimation: asciilifeform: are you imagining a little array of naked die transistors, being bonded by a robot?
asciilifeform: and who has not heard of craftsmen 'horseshoeing the flea' etc
asciilifeform: decimation: i imagined it years ago
asciilifeform: but turns out other folks like to imagine it too
asciilifeform: if using products of existing industry, i'd use something like a 'GAL' (on bare die also)
asciilifeform: rather than naked transistor
decimation: it's kind like the 'punch-out' fpga we were discussing
asciilifeform: too small, gatewise, for enemy to meaningfully diddle
asciilifeform: or to conceal specs of
asciilifeform: but considerable step over transistor
BingoBoingo: alf finds this a mystery wonder why library school sucks
BingoBoingo: Short answer all the DB's are fucked
asciilifeform: but if 'playing fairly' and using the kind of semiconductors one could hope to produce in jungle workshop, you won't have identically-specced tileable bare dies either...
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> but if 'playing fairly' and using the kind of semiconductors one could hope to produce in jungle workshop, you won't have identically-specced tileable bare dies either... << One would rip and sell Gameboy and TI-86 ROMs

asciilifeform: decimation: a diddled die of 100 gates in a tiled matrix will do what, exactly ?

mircea_popescu: sister to "jamming AN antenna"
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i sat down originally to write the piece specifically about that
mircea_popescu: aha.
asciilifeform: but somehow didn't
decimation: jamming AN antenna?
mircea_popescu: i say it, you say it, five people grok it and everyone else just whooosh.
mircea_popescu: decimation generally, as opposed to a speciffic one.
decimation: ah I see
asciilifeform: the ancient ru proverb re: 'for every sly arse, there's a threaded cock' is the relevant one
decimation: yes, the problem of 'jamming' arbitrary comms (unknown to the designer) is quite difficult
asciilifeform: the cock thread - has to match
mircea_popescu: and so is the problem of "diddling" in the general case.
asciilifeform: the thread-will-meet-the-arse-correctly-but-without-foreknowledge is called 'intelligence' and folks call any solution that calls for it 'ai-complete'
asciilifeform: which is possibly the only verdict more dire than 'np-complete'
asciilifeform: when you are discussing a particular bullet fired by the enemy, rather than enemy per se, you may safely assume that it is not intelligent, and thus is the cock of particular rather than universal thread.
asciilifeform: that's roughly it.
mircea_popescu: "The results were overwhelming: 88 percent of women reported having experienced at least one incident in which their friendliness was misinterpreted as sexual interest by a man, and on average it had occurred about 3.5 times in the last year alone. Men also reported experiencing sexual misperception, but the rate 70.6 percent was far lower. These rates were pretty similar to what was found in the original, U.S.
mircea_popescu: -based study, which found that around 90 percent of women reported that their friendliness had been misperceived at least once in their lifetimes, on average 2.7 times in the last year, with about 70 percent of men reporting having experienced this."
mircea_popescu: overwhelming my foot.
mircea_popescu: a) the difference is not even significantly above statistical noise ; b) significant fudge, such as, "women are more likely to self-flatter themselves this particular way" not accounted for in ANY manner.
mircea_popescu: how about asking men and women about how many cases they themselves witnessed involving OTHER people ?
mircea_popescu: but no, why make a study that makes sense but doesn't support our chosen policy nonsense.
decimation: that would be hard, and besides men are bad
mircea_popescu: hard my foot, ask the same people a useful question instead of a dumb one.
