brendafdez: Vexual in a way it does refer to the moon. From derpipedia: Luna Park is a name shared by dozens of currently operating and defunct amusement parks that have opened on every continent except Antarctica since 1903.
brendafdez: History
brendafdez: The first park to use the name was Coney Island's second major amusement park, designed by Frederic Thompson and Elmer "Skip" Dundy and opened in 1903. They named the park after the spaceship in their Pan-American Exposition ride "A Trip to the Moon".[1][2]
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo heh, check that out.
mircea_popescu: you gonna qntra it ?
brendafdez: Apparently the father of one of the founders of this space operated one such "Luna Park" in the early 20th century. And they picked the same name for the stadium.

Adlai only refers people to hanewin after explaining that they're just trusting some random site, instead of google or facebook
Adlai: but many people prefer trusting random strangers over known evils
mircea_popescu: technically, it's js, so they're not trusting the site.

nubbins`: some guy made him a fuckin jar file for him to run and he can't figure out how to use it
ascii_field: question was what flavour of retardation
BingoBoingo: ascii_field: Headwater?
nubbins`: "do it for me 100% or it won't get done and you're mean" retardation
ascii_field: i though the 'jar' was just a turd that loads from blockchain.info
ascii_field: and he wanted standalone that uses actual bitcoin
nubbins`: maybe so, didn't fully parse. guy does say later on that he can't figure out how to work the jar
nubbins`: this is "cut up my chicken nuggets AND chew them for me" level

nubbins`: dory was at the shelter for longer than any of the other cats :/
ascii_field: i imagine that i wouldn't want to be tamed if i were them
nubbins`: pinki gets free access to outside and quite enjoys it, dory seems to show no interest in getting out
ascii_field: nubbins`: ever consider a bigger cat?

danielpbarron: there was a cat that used to roam around outside that i would let sleep inside on occasion; i think it mothered a litter and died

cazalla: nubbins`, that's ugly imo, we don't use @qntra.net for email, but more importantly i am not fussed on this idea of bidness cards, so best to ask the others for input

danielpbarron: i think gold on black is tacky
nubbins`: i don't want to decide for 12 people what info they'll have on their cards

nubbins`: personally i'd go with mid-grey ink
danielpbarron: i like white cards

nubbins`: qntra business cards
danielpbarron: maybe apply the "photocopy" filter to the rabbit image and use as logo
nubbins`: unless you've got a version bigger than 30x30...
nubbins`: but that's the other thing, no logo
nubbins`: so you're left w/ just text
cazalla: i can't think of anything more obnoxious than someone giving you their business card, it's pretty much them saying, "here, you're obligated to put this either in your bidness card holder or the bin", perhaps i don't have the sophistication to appreciate bidness cards like ol' buffett (or whoever it is that collects em like baseball cards) but whatevs
danielpbarron: you have it backwards
danielpbarron: they are things you ask for
nubbins`: cazalla that's because you're not a small business owner dealing with other small business owners
danielpbarron: not force on
danielpbarron: i ask for business cards all the time
nubbins`: "do you have a card?" "no" "....."
nubbins`: "but you can look us up on facebook"
nubbins`: anyway, a good next step would be for people who intend to receive these cards to put some thought into what info they'd like on them, as well as a general idea of how they'd prefer them to look

ascii_field: ben_vulpes does not keep 'wallet' around. he memorizes private key
ben_vulpes: stop bitcoind, move wallet back in, restart, sync wallet txns periodically.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes don't forget to encrypt your privkey ring with gpg too
ben_vulpes: ya well duh.
mircea_popescu: because they ALSO didnt see why it's so bad
ben_vulpes: symmetric in my brain.
ben_vulpes: its really the only sane model.
mircea_popescu: look, you're spewing nonsense. think in simple terms : if wallet is encrypted by program using it, then it can be read by program using it, and kernel.
ascii_field: no shit
mircea_popescu: if wallet is encrypted in useralnd, then it's read by gpg
mircea_popescu: and everyone else.
mircea_popescu: including... the disk.
mircea_popescu: and so on and so forth.
ascii_field: incidentally (i wrote) a neat little proof of concept bin patch for bitcoind on winblows.
ben_vulpes: i've always assumed that if someone got access to the machine while hot, the coins were gone regardless.
ascii_field: the first outgoing tx sent by the luser after it goes to addr A
ascii_field: (magic constant)
ascii_field: notice how much good the wallet crypto does him.
ascii_field: oh and sends whole wallet's weight of course
mircea_popescu: ascii_field you know im not proposing quinine solves gout over here.
mircea_popescu: and your "poc" that "sends whole wallet" is going to run into some fucking lulzy problems once it gets implemented,
mircea_popescu: because no one knows what's in a wallet.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: think for a minute
ascii_field: doesn't send the file
ascii_field: creates a legit tx using the luser's own client
mircea_popescu: that says wut ?
mircea_popescu: whatever it may say, fuck you and a heap of error: {"code":-4,"message":"Transaction creation failed"}
ascii_field: that has [sum of his unspent coin - 0.1 fee] value, and is to addr A (constant) instead of wherever he asked for
mircea_popescu: if you imagine this "sum of unspent coin" symbol is defined...
brendafdez: I always wondered why negative error codes...
mircea_popescu: brendafdez correlates to iq.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: iterates, incr. fee, until no error
ascii_field: can't promise that it works for everyone.
mircea_popescu: np problem, well done.
mircea_popescu: "hey everyone since i installed alfbitcoin my system has been doing 100% cpu"
ascii_field: where's the np ?
mircea_popescu: in the fucking wallet.
ascii_field: theoretically a knapsack problem, yes
mircea_popescu: anyway, there's a reason wallet theft consisted of stealing the (plaintext) wallet file
ascii_field: but in practice quadratic.
mircea_popescu: rather than this sort of stuff. it's about 100x easier, given the sad state of bitcoind
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: and recipient does what?
ascii_field: he is also stuck with the knapsack
mircea_popescu: and people fail to think how important this is, because atm relatively few addresses (if you divide total btc to total addresses you get a .x ish average)
mircea_popescu: but once the average per address is under 0.0001... just you see quadratics then
ascii_field: then - yes
mircea_popescu: ascii_field yes but can do it in his own time.
mircea_popescu: with actual tools. etc.
ascii_field: who the hell has wallet full of nanodust also
mircea_popescu: EVERYONE
ben_vulpes: everyone.
ben_vulpes: well, most people.
mircea_popescu: i would guess more bitcoin has been loist to nanodusting than to outright laptop-in-garbage dump incidents
ascii_field: if so, it is on account of the idiocy where the client has no idea how to 'defragment'
ascii_field: and is averse to sending to himself
mircea_popescu: just, the owners still think they own the dust they can't actually send anywhere.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field not only that. the txn making is dust-agnostic. instead of optimizing to not create too small chunks, it just does whatever.
mircea_popescu: because "too hard".
mircea_popescu: meanwhile the fucktards are busy "innovating" bullshit.
mircea_popescu: the hard problems of bitcoin are still untouched since six yyears ago when satoshi saw them and ran screaming.
ascii_field: the most frustrating part is that the correct solutions are so obvious.
mircea_popescu: yeah, they are : go entertain cia over the weekend.
asciilifeform: !up ascii_field
ascii_field: i mean to say, they are actually obvious to anyone who stayed awake in junior 'algorithms'
mircea_popescu: nobody went to school.
mircea_popescu: they're all fucking experts.
ascii_field went to school
ascii_field: and nubbins` iirc
ascii_field: and a few others
ben_vulpes: <mircea_popescu> ascii_field not only that. the txn making is dust-agnostic. instead of optimizing to not create too small chunks, it just does whatever. << aggressively whatever. semi random selection of outputs, iirc.
ascii_field: i get it, it was written by monkeys
mircea_popescu: (honestly i've not really looked what they've been doing with it since 7ish)
ascii_field: mircea_popescu did not miss much
ascii_field: ben_vulpes has an exhaustive catalogue
mircea_popescu: ascii_field anyway, if you're curious, do a braid on a bitcoin then see what happens.
ascii_field: braid ?
ben_vulpes: hardly exhaustive.
mircea_popescu: (split it to three addresses, then feed one by two for a while)
mircea_popescu: then see what you can spend and what you can't.
mircea_popescu: this is the golden standard for testing txn generators.
mircea_popescu: or, closer to what you want, "then send it all to one address". see with own eyes.
ascii_field: i have this working for a [censored application] but it uses machine (outside of bitcoind) generated tx
mircea_popescu: yeah well, WHY IS THAT
ascii_field: and raw key material
mircea_popescu: alf trying to scam me in argument! "oh, bitcoind works. i think so because i don't use it because it doesn't"
ascii_field believes when mircea_popescu says that it -will- explode if used as printed on the crate
BingoBoingo: Well, sometimes it does
mircea_popescu: hence why we're terrorists.
ascii_field: likewise most of the folks here have read enough of it to see how this might be
BingoBoingo: Bitcoind (and a number of the other 'wallets') grind balances to dust over time.
ascii_field: don't forget that this was -deliberate-
ascii_field: phoundation justified it with 'bbbut an0nym1ty1111!!111'
mircea_popescu: this is way before vessenes was invented.
ascii_field: 'wouldn't want to link the coins you got from bin laden to the ones you got from george bush, when you go spend'em'
mircea_popescu: you for some reason seem to think scam foundation and bitcoin are cogenerational. this is about as true as saying you and your mom were born the same week
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: i formed this impression because i do not know the actual truth of the extent of collaboration between gavin et al and satoshi pre-phoundation
ascii_field: having contradictory data, assumed the worst.
mircea_popescu: fake foundation's just a pressed shitbullet, they made it, getting rid of it won't get rid of the problem.
mircea_popescu: it's exactly like "Bitcoin magazine", meanwhile buried.
ascii_field: i saw it as more of a snakeskin
mircea_popescu: once they didn't get away with simply stealing that, they made coindesk.
ascii_field: shed as many times as snake likes
mircea_popescu: which will be buried too, but... still. you don't kill ticks by breaking the bellies.
mircea_popescu: anyway, gavin showed up pretty quick o nthe original lists. to no one's suprirse, nsa does read the stuff, as amply documented.
ascii_field: so then.
mircea_popescu: foundation not directly related to this.
ascii_field saw phoundation and gavinatronics as mostly synonymous
ben_vulpes: he's a useful front, as i see it.
mircea_popescu: well perhaps the discussion of which lice spawned what scorpion is not directly interesting to engineers, being more in the vein of politics and law. so i guess you actually have a fine aproximation.
ascii_field actually does find it interesting, and if mircea_popescu ever writes a detailed likbez, will enjoy reading
mircea_popescu: but no, the two got merged late. originally, foundation was transparent scam to syphon and repurpose bitcoins to prop up "vc entreprises".
mircea_popescu: once got called out on that, shed some bits (coinlab, anyone recall that ?) and moved to "worthy goals" (stioll not releasing any reports, because vessenes, like all clueless idiots involved, thinks taint is a thing, and also thinks i don't know his addresses, because whatever, he's magically protected by nulandine)
mircea_popescu: except no worthy goals were willing to work with them, and so moved to "default worthy goal" = pay gavin a salary.
mircea_popescu: which was getting paid anyway. but better cover now.
mircea_popescu: which pretty much brings us to 2014, when the thing became too expensive to be useful, so it had to run out of usg jurisdiction (went to uk)
mircea_popescu: pretending now that hey, "they are publishing reports". of the new entity.
mircea_popescu: because whatever, i'm going to hang them anyway, and usg isn't going to hang them no matter what, so that leaves a space in the middle.
mircea_popescu: which pretty much brings us to date.
mircea_popescu: (and by "too expensive to be useful" i don't mean anything but, for every btc in gains it makes us, it gives that terrorist we shall not name 10 to 100 btc worth of ammo)

bitstein: mircea_popescu: I am under the impression that if they wanted to, kako or nano could publish ratings under any name as they please. Is this correct? If so, how can someone viewing the WoT db have certainty that information they see is as the rater intended? GPG signing would be one solution.
mircea_popescu: bitstein this is true for both of them, currently. this happens to also not be a problem because a) they could do this once ; and b) the way you're supposed to use this tool is by asking the raters about their ratings.

bitstein: mircea_popescu: b is an important point, thanks. As for old rather than current ratings, that's where shasums and deedbot could come in to help.
jurov: bitstein, looks like you want to reinvent the blockchain or sidechain
mircea_popescu: on the other side of the fence there is this (i suspect irrational) notion that pumping out signed material weakens the signer key.
bitstein: mircea_popescu: you would have the hash of the db timestamped, so you can verify that the rating is current as of a certain point (given you have the data to recreate the hash)

ascii_modem: somehow a "commercial" product became MANDATORY. << ample precedent, e.g., 'macrovision'
mircea_popescu: that and beatings.
mircea_popescu: ascii_modem how is it commercial then ?
mircea_popescu: it's cohercial product.
nubbins`: mircea_popescu these business cards will be a headless chicken unless either (a) someone decides on basics like paper/ink color or (b) you give me free reign and accept that some/all recipients will be sad pandas
ascii_modem: and cleaning watermarks up without introducing palpable noise is harder than it looks
mircea_popescu: nubbins` atm im waiting a little to give teh interested parties chance to take over the process.
mircea_popescu: after which we see.
mircea_popescu: ascii_modem why ?
nubbins`: np, understood
mircea_popescu: identify the mark spots, revert half.
ascii_modem: no spots
mircea_popescu: ftr, it seems a 13% decrease in pitch defeats it
mircea_popescu: and actually a bevy of other such measures.
ascii_modem: waveform composited onto signal
mircea_popescu: ascii_modem think about it,it ?HAS to be sampled. of course spots.
ascii_modem: 13 pitch - lol now sounds like broken tape
BingoBoingo liked the Black and Gold, just thinks the text needs a tweak.
ascii_modem: no spots unless retarded engineer
ascii_modem: affects -whole- signal
ascii_modem: additive wave
mircea_popescu: i am willing to stake money on the lemma that "no method of publicly accessible encoding into audio signal can be made that can not also be reversed".
mircea_popescu: this isn't g p fuckin' g over here.
ascii_modem: exists for graphics- stirmark contest
jurov: wow mircea can revert wav-> mp3 ?
ascii_modem: so far stirmark wins always
mircea_popescu: eh no fuckin way.
ascii_modem: but audio has a good bit of slack bs video
mircea_popescu: ascii_modem so you're telling me there's f(data, pic.png) - > pic1.png so that a) i can read f and b) i can't didle pic1.png into pic2.png so you can't read data ?
ascii_modem: (stirmark is open src app for zapping graphical watermarks)
ascii_modem: always can
mircea_popescu: exactly.
ascii_modem: make it all black
mircea_popescu: sound no different.
mircea_popescu: they stay pic.png
mircea_popescu: jurov sure ?
mircea_popescu: !up indiancandy1
jurov: mircea_popescu: if i encode wav-> mp3 and place barely audible artifacts just so
jurov: how do you revert?
ascii_modem: the correct solution always removes. recall radio jammer thread.
indiancandy1: hiyaback biatches
jurov: you can jam but not revert
mircea_popescu: jurov ffmpeg jurov.mp3 jurov.wav
jurov: lmaoooo
ascii_modem: but you don't always -have- the decoder
mircea_popescu: ascii_modem but here yo udo.
jurov: the decoder will either reover the artifacts as intended
ascii_modem: unless enemy foolishly gave it to you
jurov: or introduce other ones
mircea_popescu: ascii_modem consumer fucking products. the decoder is open.
indiancandy1: whose got instagram
ascii_modem: here you do. just need electron microskop
mircea_popescu: not what we were discussing tho.
ascii_modem: if you have it in software, there is no real puzzle
mircea_popescu: argument to fucking ignorance, all this. "here's the fence that i made. it doesn't work, but if everyone made fences and we all agreed not to jump them then nobody could tell the difference"
mircea_popescu: yeah dude, totally. sounds like a plan
mircea_popescu: a plan to make a lot of mongol babies.
ascii_modem: aha drm folk
brendafdez: dont defeat the defeatable fence or else...
mircea_popescu: and this brings us to the actual point i was making :
mircea_popescu: it RUINS people, this. their minds, it rots.
nubbins`: re: wav->mp3->wav
mircea_popescu: living in this circumstance is very very bad because it makes one stupid.
mircea_popescu: once your "commerical products" are "mandatory" it's not just music you broke. you broke economy.
nubbins`: please tell me that you're not implying you can reconstruct lost information discarded by a codec
funkenstein_: You can’t never go wrong cuttin’ fence.…Always cut fence. -- seldom seen smith
mircea_popescu: now your kids won't be able to compete with their kids, because your kids are stupid.
nubbins`: is this like CSI security cam footage?
ascii_modem: incidentally it is worth remembering how it works
nubbins`: *clickity clack* "enhance"
mircea_popescu: and then you spend more to educate them, and the more you spend the stupider they get.
ascii_modem: idiot hollywood types -demand- drm snakeoil
mircea_popescu: and so you lost at life, all through this inept bullshit of "if we pretend it works anyway it'll really work!!1"
mircea_popescu: ascii_modem who asked them anything /
jurov: mircea your premise is good but arguments flawed
indiancandy1: u lot are deep
ascii_modem: charlatans materialize always, to give it to them
indiancandy1: always ignore me
mircea_popescu: this is the almighty, societal-saving importance of "fhut the suck up, nobody asked you anything"
mircea_popescu: indiancandy1 well we don't use instagram!
ascii_modem: except hollywood and 'intellectual property' racket in general is core usg
mircea_popescu: it can be the core of its own mother for all the difference it makes.
brendafdez: indiancandy1 i'm not deep, just like pretending sometimes. those who are see right thru :3
mircea_popescu: "sorry to tell you sir, you have cancer" "you know who i am ? i am the usg czar for rounded corners" "oh, in that case...umm... it's a skin condition. put some aloe on it."
ascii_modem: whip the sea

indiancandy1: yes i figured

mircea_popescu: indiancandy1 ever seen my penis btw ?
ascii_modem: it was posted

mircea_popescu: prolly an app huh.
nubbins`: yeah
nubbins`: sextogram or something
mircea_popescu: seems reasonable. "if can't find her naked pics anywhere, no point bothering with her"
nubbins`: the fact that the competition is changing hands, incidentally, is made slightly more interesting by the fact that pascale is precisely half of the employee list of the competition
mircea_popescu: "big" === "two employees" ?
mircea_popescu: you're just a bunch of weird bored middle class dudes in a cul de sac somewhere pretending to be printing in between wife swappings aren;t you.

brendafdez: danielpbarron you have to ask
danielpbarron: ok, first step is to remove windows
indiancandy1_: y
danielpbarron: i guess before you do that, prepare a flash drive with an installer for openbsd or gentoo or something
indiancandy1_: i cant not use windows yo
danielpbarron: indiancandy1_, because winblows is insecure malware masquerading as an operating system
danielpbarron: you are smart enough to keep coming back here

danielpbarron: so why do you use such a bloated complicated piece of garbage OS?
indiancandy1_: whats OS?
danielpbarron: operating system
indiancandy1_: what do you recomend
danielpbarron: gentoo or openbsd
trinque: lol, cmere toddler, check out the deep end

danielpbarron: openbsd has an autoinstaller but might not do everything you'd like
indiancandy1_: okay will look into it

danielpbarron: chromium works flawless on gentoo
danielpbarron: that's what i use

indiancandy1_: and webcam?
danielpbarron: haven't tried that
brendafdez: no, linux is srs os, no webcam :P
danielpbarron: nobody wants to see my knockers
indiancandy1_: lol
indiancandy1_: i mean
indiancandy1_: can u webcam
indiancandy1_: like use it on skype etc
danielpbarron: idk lemme try google hangouts i guess
brendafdez: if you absolutely want to use skype, you can. All else you mention, you can.
indiancandy1_: i do skype shows
indiancandy1_: linux is good right
brendafdez: Skype is rogue, I gather there are safe(r) ways to run it anyway.
trinque: nsa gon get ya tits
trinque: frankly a Ubuntu live cd is probably a more sensible first try

danielpbarron: that doesn't mean yours would work necessarily
danielpbarron: i guess it wouldn't hurt to make an ubntu installer flash drive and use it to boot live and see if your hardware is supported by a linux kernel in general
danielpbarron: do you have an old computer lying around that you can use as your offline machine?
brendafdez: resisting the temptation to install it will be to much
danielpbarron: well installing it would mean wiping out her winblows stuff
brendafdez: she can always do dp ehhr... dual boot
BingoBoingo: danielpbarron: Her big issue is supporting the cam tools. Ubuntu is probably going to be fine for the camera in general, Iffier for skype. Probably not possible for her to use all of the tools she could need for work on OpenBSD/Gentoo without going through hell and rewriting some of them.

asciilifeform: then they carefully waltz it out of yer brain
mircea_popescu: that was a chinese specialty.
brendafdez: you know, the whole betu thing sucks, and somteimes the coping strategy could well be 'fuck it, i didn't even want it in the first place, I'd rather be a woman where bug becomes feature'. Dunno, just speculating, I hadn't given it much thought before.
brendafdez: s/betu/beta/
mircea_popescu: doesn't work that way does it ?
brendafdez: dunno, wouldn't go back either, this state of 'it not working' is much preferred to the previous state of 'it not working'. By orders of magnitude.
mircea_popescu: preferred in the impersonal ? who prefers it ?
mircea_popescu: well maybe you miss the barn of a difference between "guy who is a girl because he prefers it" and "guy who claims to be a girl so as to [...]"
mircea_popescu: causes an' purposes baby.
brendafdez: I can't keep in memory every single article all the time
mircea_popescu: pretty decent part of a play or something this. "so if i become a woman will my sex work ?" "no, it still won't work" "So then ?" "well maybe you like it not working this way better."
brendafdez: Anyway, I don't think claiming it and presenting female so as to x would be a good strategy at all, if you don't prefer it, you'll end up changing your mind, because it's hard to put up with all the attached issues to being perceived a woman if you were only doing it for a specific purpose
mircea_popescu: quite exactly mirroring the consumer computing market. "my windows computer doesn't fucking work" "switch to gentoo" "will it work then ?" "no, but maybe you like the icons better"
mircea_popescu: brendafdez you ever seen daisy diamond ?
mircea_popescu: well, other than the part that it has infanticide, maybe you should check it out.

mircea_popescu: horrid fucking scheme omfg
BingoBoingo: ’ve given so many talks at WordCamps with a component about how it’s important to be nice, respectful, and welcoming — including the use of appropriate language and imagery — to the point that some people would really like to tell me to shut the fuck** up (or have!).
brendafdez: mircea, in all honesty what wasn't working was life to the point I didn't want to go on (should've put an ad on gofundme but didn't occur to me). That was solved: social intereaction now is a whole different thing and it's much better. The fact that I still don't get to have the sex I like with the people I like is a minor issue compared to social interaction being broken as a whole.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo "adrian pintilie" ?

BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Oh so a marginalized Romanian is being pissed on by an empowered evangalist of politeness for interacting with the world according to his culture.
mircea_popescu: pretty much.
mircea_popescu: well... he's not marginalized. just marginal.

BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Ah so the WordPress politeness is oppressing him.
mircea_popescu: doubt anything but "why would anyone pay you to fuck up php, when php comes pre-fucked and if not indians will fuck it for 1/3 the price" opresses him.
