mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo the amusing dilemma of the defeated being, of course, that they're stuck either exposing themselves in a doomed charge,
mircea_popescu: or else ensuring through silence the charge fails.
mircea_popescu: it's a lot of fun watching the bug squirm.
BingoBoingo: Now "phone home" isn't as bad as Hearn forking in March 2013, but phone home is still bad for people who chose Armory
BingoBoingo: It took a lot of time to get the Qntra gloat piece at just the right amount of gloat.
mircea_popescu: decimation : the idea that the poor have some sort of choice or whatever is so damned laughable. to quote myself, "Not only is the consumer about as screwed as is currently the case, but to everyone's benefit he has just been clearly proven yet again that revolt = being fucked in the ass harder, longer, with a thicker implement with sharper barbs on it. "
BingoBoingo: And yet all of the people previously demonstrated to be aligned against Bitcoin while acting otherwise really seem to be sweating this
mircea_popescu: they got their marchin' orders.
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 17700 @ 0.00023695 = 4.194 BTC [+]
mircea_popescu: the problem with not being an independent agent is exactly this : the loser's dilemma. either you charge to your doom or you get shot for treason.
BingoBoingo: In other news most of my meatspace contacts are now getting that rosebush as mother's day presents. Just looking at the odds it is almost inevitable of of their moms is going to pirate it.
BingoBoingo: The fiat fail is a pattern though. People near the top like Blair and Bradley with ItBit or Altman with CoinBase say they are cool with the law and people lower down in Utah and Iowa say STFU they have laws too.
mircea_popescu: "the top of the bottom of the swamp is a top too!"

mircea_popescu: anyway, the strong set's not much more than 40-50k keys or so, iirc.
BingoBoingo: Eh, I'm not sure how many keys that get "life critical" use would be in the "strong set" anyways

BingoBoingo: Great might not be giving it enough credit
asciilifeform: <mircea_popescu> asciilifeform i dun think you qualify << why the hell not
mircea_popescu: because you seem aware of the problem.
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 233829 @ 0.000243 = 56.8204 BTC [+] {4}
asciilifeform: but, <mircea_popescu> ... either you charge to your doom or you get shot for treason.
asciilifeform: notice that being aware, isn't a get-out-of-shit card
mircea_popescu: i meant, you're aware of the ownership problem.
asciilifeform: it is even conceivable that cockroach is aware of boots.
mircea_popescu: that IS a get out of the circle card. because once you're aware, everything you do is more or less successful, but nevertheless in THIS line.
mircea_popescu: whereas for the unaware, this question unposed, everything they do is a waste.
asciilifeform: <BingoBoingo> Eh, I'm not sure how many keys that get "life critical" use would be in the "strong set" anyways << mircea_popescu has a link earlier, with strong set, and how it doesn't seem to contain almost anyone we know of any reason to give a fuck about
mircea_popescu: it's exactly like the difference between knowing and not knowing that washing hands prevents peripueral fever. now, for as long as you don't know, you don't know. once you do know, it all reduces to a question of how well you washed your hands.
mircea_popescu: it moves from metaphysics to techne, as it were.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I'm also thinking MPEx account keys, et al
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it's mostly debian, practically. but mostly dead debian.
asciilifeform: ^ this would explain it
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: what keys are used in mpex is between the users and mpex, i haven't the slightest notion of what goes on there
asciilifeform: nor even reason to think that most such keys are not - cooked for the occasion and not advertised
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Hence life critical yet no reason to be in strong set. Many other "in anger" keys likely same or similar. If not now, soon.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i often wonder how many folks who use (used?) pgp historically, only habitually communicated with one party, and would've been better served by vernam
mircea_popescu: the thing we're stumbling on here is that the usecase for pubkeys is really two distinct things.
asciilifeform: ^ mircea_popescu has it
mircea_popescu: one is, key as to be used on mpex. the other is, key as to be used on deedbot
mircea_popescu: these are almost perfectly orthogonal.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform vernam = otp ?
asciilifeform: (in english lands often called vernam for the putative inventor of it there)
mircea_popescu: the problem with otp is that it's bulky
mircea_popescu: bulk is a PARTICULARLY venomous anti-property of secure items
asciilifeform: i'm holding a 64GB microsd in my left hand
asciilifeform: it weighs a gram or so.
asciilifeform: bulky ?
mircea_popescu: i thought you said historically.
asciilifeform: historic as in history of pgp
asciilifeform: e.g., a 4mm tape circa '95, held a good bit of otp
asciilifeform: so it isn't a recent thing
mircea_popescu: even so. 90s kid.
asciilifeform: (and tape was considerably easier to zap)
asciilifeform: not so bulky, either.
asciilifeform: fit handily in arse safe - with magnifier, yes
mircea_popescu: keyring is kbs.
pete_dushenski: looks like pipe (left), papers (middle), and grinder (right)
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: aha you can smoke it
asciilifeform: and people did.

mircea_popescu: ahahaha that's a soviet trick
asciilifeform: ^ i do not know if this belonged to ogorodnik, the famous ru traitor in whose case a battery figured
asciilifeform: (and a cyanide pen, which he used successfully)
asciilifeform: i also do not know if the battery actually supplied the requisite 1.5v
asciilifeform: which would've been a classy touch
mircea_popescu: afaik they do
mircea_popescu: (have a thinner one in there, not so hard to do)
asciilifeform: not hard (include a silver oxide watch cell)
asciilifeform: incidentally this battery is a very good beginner lathe project.
asciilifeform: use your imagination.
assbot: How Fake News Articles And Lies About Billionaires Were Used To Market An Iffy Dietary Supplement - Forbes ... ( http://bit.ly/1H5iG9b )
mircea_popescu: The company that makes the supplements disavowed ownership of these advertisements, saying that they were produced by “affiliate marketers” who were not its responsibility. In fact, many of the websites investigated by Forbes traced back to a single individual whose phone voice mail said he worked at a carpet cleaning business. One of the product’s pages — BrainStormElite.org, but not BrainStormElite.com —
mircea_popescu: is registered to a self-styled new age internet entrepreneur.

pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: "If you wish to make a name for yourself, find a way - preferably, a systematic way - out of this conundrum." << systematic being... this place ?
pete_dushenski: what else ?
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: nah systematic is - atomic dirigible.
pete_dushenski: pff nonsense
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski nono, what's being discussed there is the monthy pyton problem.
asciilifeform: well, submarine also works, sure.
mircea_popescu: find a way to make creative lines have a good punch line.
mircea_popescu: “I have many irons in the fire when it comes to projects,” Shanks writes on his website, “from health, to wealth, to blogging and establishing a community movement, my arms are ready and my eyes wide open to welcome as many of you as I can, to serve a higher purpose, help others create success, happiness and prosperity in life.”

mircea_popescu: or in other words : bitcoin idiots / the sort of "entrepreneurs" gavin talks to weren't invented by bitcoin.
mircea_popescu: they pre-existed it, and will continue to indefinitely exist. like any other weed.
mircea_popescu: "My message has always been the same. Hard Work, Dedication, and have been the core wisdom I hope to transfer into you as a thank you for reading, visiting, and absorbing my thoughts, feelings, and outlook on life."
mircea_popescu: hopefully they have three pills for him.

mircea_popescu: i was thinking more like... acid, ecstasy, cocaine.
mircea_popescu: should be interesting to watch, or in his own words, "From Higher Health to Inner Wealth, Levitational Perception helps ~Levitate your mind, Elevate your game~ Be You. Stay True. Stay Sweet. Stay Sexy. ~Stay Wavy Baby~"
pete_dushenski: not so different from tony robbins really.
mircea_popescu: he probably goes around the mall in whatever ohio he lives in, saying "stay wavy baby" to tgi tuesdays waitresses and shoe store attendants.
asciilifeform: what kind of dope does one have to take to be at the slightest risk from this pitch ?
pete_dushenski: and 'big hands' pulls in tens of millions a year.
mircea_popescu: not everyone went to the same kindergarten as you, asciilifeform

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: naturally a scam

asciilifeform: afaik they are presently the only vendor offering (claimed) otptrons of whatever variety.

mircea_popescu: if they do ship what's the problem with ordering
asciilifeform: $maxint presumably
asciilifeform: and i have my doubts that they would sell to me in particular
asciilifeform: even if brought $maxint
mircea_popescu: so then misers ? eh... i bet you one thing, they'll gladly take your money.
mircea_popescu: "The creative essence within the story of “Troy Shanks (Athelete to Alchemist to Alpha)” is about Perpetual Regeneration to Levitational Perception. That is, the foundational biological imperative concept of Higher Health to Inner Wealth (Internal Paradise = External Reflection).
mircea_popescu: As virtually limitless amounts of cosmic epiphanies began to dawn on me, timeless transcendence of my timelessly presence in the ‘Holy Shift of B.S.’ (belief systems) about universal life started a Higher Truth transformation twist in my life from I to We (think illness to wellness)."
asciilifeform: this is by no means an urgent matter, i ask now so that possibly can learn answer year, two, three, from now.
mircea_popescu: and this, my dear friends, is what early schizophrenia looks like.
asciilifeform: and i bet folks using the diddled otptrons would be very excited to learn what has been done to them.
mircea_popescu: the word clustering is a very sad sign.
mircea_popescu: nevertheless, the holy shit of bs i intend to steal, it's pretty good.
asciilifeform: fella needs to tune his shannonizer methinks
asciilifeform: at least, lubricate it on occasion
asciilifeform: it - almost audibly, squeaks.
mircea_popescu: the shanonizer in question runs on his own personal wetware, and the squeaks you hear have names.
mircea_popescu: "With so many words of wisdom at-hand to express my creative play on words, deciding which in-formation of thoughts, feelings, and actions to choose from to impose my identity with is not easy. Acting with effortless presence in a transcendental meditative state in our beautiful blue biosphere of biological beings is becoming the best, greatest, highest version of our SELF."
asciilifeform: re: certified nutters: did we ever get terry davis in here ?
mircea_popescu: shit's almost as good as timecube.

asciilifeform: unlike every other schizo afaik, davis is not satisfied merely with wetware shannonizer
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: wavy's quote is "holy shiFt of bs" if it makes a difference.
asciilifeform: and uses a mechanical one of own design
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski o im aware.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i suspect that difference would be lost on him.
assbot: Mils Electronic ... ( http://bit.ly/1H5kPSm )
asciilifeform: ^ the more recent history has the flavour of being literally copied from a spambrochure
mircea_popescu: Mils Electronic Gesmbh & Co.kg does not have any Key Executives recorded.
mircea_popescu: bloomberg never heard of em
asciilifeform: i bet it's a walking corpse, like symbolics tech. 1998+
asciilifeform: (holding co. owning assets of a historic carcass)
asciilifeform: either this, or 'crypto museum' has a great deal to answer for.
asciilifeform: and isn't it a private firm ?
asciilifeform: why would bloomberg et al necessarily know anything of it
mircea_popescu: wouldn't necessarily know anything, no. nevertheless... what government do they sell to ? turkmenistan ?
asciilifeform: these outfits don't normally sell to governments (outside of turkmenistan's weight class) - these issue gear to own personnel -
asciilifeform: but to likewise private concerns
asciilifeform: as the infamous crypto ag did (does!)
assbot: Mils-Electronic Gesellschaft m.b.H. & Co. Kommanditgesellschaft - IT-Dienstleistung - Firmeninfos - Handel, Information und Consulting - Firmen A-Z ... ( http://bit.ly/1H5lx1R )

asciilifeform: if the 'museum' is to be believed, these people - until very recently - sold exclusively vernamators.
asciilifeform wonders if the machines evolved in the same direction as mils's www site
mircea_popescu: want me to drop em an email see ?
asciilifeform: imho it is worth looking into, because 1) without question they are under the usg glass dome and 2) serious, otherwise educated folks may very well be in the chumpset
mircea_popescu: anwyay, your museum piece doth not mention the ceo/cfo/etc kugler guy.
asciilifeform: 3) i won't spoil all of the surprises, but the usb gadget pictured in the photo on cryptomuseum's www does not look anywhere near large enough to contain, e.g., independent power source
asciilifeform: or auditable rng, etc.
asciilifeform: to bed.

asciilifeform: i personally collected hundreds of examples of such crud, not a single one made any attempt to install opencl

mircea_popescu: even.so.

mats: asciilifeform: monkey patch for sure, but it does have its place... with a dozen other mitigations.
asciilifeform: mats: fuck mitigation.
asciilifeform: how about - incineration.
Adlai: mats: thoughts on ART?
Adlai: not the dead kind, the android kind
mircea_popescu: Adlai not a good example, it's directly obviouswhat that does.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: possibly the fpga/dragonfly thread relates.
mircea_popescu: in any case, claiming a z80 and a pentium 6 are "99.84% identical" on the grounds of mass spectrometry is about as apt.
asciilifeform: (re: 'junk')
Adlai: not when you set out to discover which changes it effects in the ALU, and then say, "oh, eip never points at the ceramics, thus they're useless"
mircea_popescu: still not very valid a comparison, because no thiamine ever links to.. acell wall.
asciilifeform: you won't find it linking to 'oxygen must have 16 protons' either
Adlai: a better way of saying this is that: while dna is a great example of "code is data"; most of the data not being code for gene transcription does not directly imply that it has no other use
asciilifeform: and yes, one of my ancient beefs with biological 'state of the art' is that folks deliberately ignore non-genetic mechanisms of inheritance
asciilifeform: because there be dragons or somesuch.
mircea_popescu: yeah, but now you're arguing with a straw man. i never said it doesn't, i just said as far as we know, it might as well not.
mircea_popescu: and if as far as we know it might as well not, that makes 84% or w/e comparisons untenable. irrespective of what may or may not be the case.
Adlai: for example, some dna plays the role of attracting (or repelling) the transcription machinery, to influence which other dna gets transcribed
mircea_popescu: perhaps.
Adlai: the XX% figure just goes to show that personhood is a little beyond biology
mircea_popescu: housing roofs also play the role of attracting (or repelling) hot sexy soaking wet babes to your perch for the purpose of you getting a blowjob.
mircea_popescu: but that's because you happened to take refuge from the rain there, has little to do with the roof.
Adlai: you'll still need the roof to do its job right. can't have sudden cold trickles at inopportune moments
mircea_popescu: or maybe you can, at some moments. or who knows.
mircea_popescu: which shows us the problem in all its nude glory : ad hoc systems are unrepresentable.

mircea_popescu: i never had anyone in hiding without at least a few rifles + sidearms, at least a coupla people along for the ride, etc. 40k is good for a quarter, and that if the guy's very sensible all around.
decimation: the uk is even more of a police state
mircea_popescu: moreover, what, every time you need a car you steal a car ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: 40k in modern usd ?
asciilifeform: or of that time
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i was doing a mental fuzzy conversion to modern.

mircea_popescu: what part is new ? they were very active
asciilifeform: the photo
asciilifeform: it is a very good one
asciilifeform: from artistic standpoint - of composition.

asciilifeform: ^ colourhitler
asciilifeform: and very excited gurl
decimation: asciilifeform: have you watched the movie 'downfall'?
asciilifeform: who hasn't
decimation: heh, most folks only know it from the 'hitler finds out the truth about the defense of Berlin' scene
asciilifeform: das war ein Befehl!
asciilifeform: 111!!!11
decimation: heh exactly
decimation: my favorite quote "Ich sollte alle hochrangigen Offiziere liquidieren, genauso wie Stalin es getan hat! "
asciilifeform knows of no reason to suppose that he actually said this, but it goes well with the rest of the scene
decimation: it seems likely the thought would have occured to him anyway
decimation: too bad tom cruise didn't successfully kill hitler on the 20 juli plot
asciilifeform: and apparently he wasn't killed dead enough in 'inglorious bastards'
asciilifeform: weak voodoo, these.
decimation: my understanding is that most of the german units late in the war were actively trying to surrender to the us, so that they could fight russia together
asciilifeform: approximately.
asciilifeform: though the 'fight russia' part was more churchill's concept
mircea_popescu: or patton's.
decimation: certainly stalin and stierlitz managed convince fdr that he had 'won'
asciilifeform: popular enough concept that it formed the entire backplot of '17 moments of spring' (su mega-cult-classic film)
asciilifeform: the hero's entire intelligence mission was to determine which german is leading the 'separate peace talks'
asciilifeform: (and how far along)
asciilifeform: my favourite apocryphal scene is where a german general, seeing french flags, asked 'did we lose to -them- as well' ?
asciilifeform: (not from film, must point out, but from legend)
decimation: it seems the more likely explanation is yarvin's supposition - russia was playing 'hard to get' and fdr and his staff wanted russia 'even more'
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> or patton's. << I'm a Patton truther. He was assasinated to keep the war from running another decade,
asciilifeform: i find mr mold to be astonishingly clueless on this subject, and can't even recall off hand what his position was -
asciilifeform: i garbage-collected it from brain.
decimation: I recall a post about the us ambassador trying to become stalin's boyfriend
asciilifeform: (2nd half)
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo iirc his proposition to just bomb the suckers and ride tanks to china is well documented.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Not the part where he planned to resign. More in line with MP, if he lived he would have started the next war by July.
asciilifeform: why the pause ?
asciilifeform: at least churchill's thing made elementary sense
asciilifeform: (use the germans while there's still something to use)
decimation: yarvin was also pushing the 'stalin was gonna attack' theory
mircea_popescu: eh stalin wasn't going to attack.
mircea_popescu: the one point of danger was once stalin died.
asciilifeform: cribbed from rezun (pen name 'suvorov', in imitation of the general)
asciilifeform: (mega-revisionary history fella, craps out tome after tome re: 'stalin was planning to attack')
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Because he was already paused. re-arming the Germans would have probably taken some time
asciilifeform: i tried to track down which of these mr mold may have read,
asciilifeform: and did not turn up any which had been translated (at the time) to engl.
mircea_popescu: had beria not been pro-us, but symetrically anti, the fulda gap'd have been taken in a week and well... russia from sea to sea.
asciilifeform: other than his - unrelated - works on su military intelligence (from which he was an escapee)
mircea_popescu: possibly the most impressive success of us diplomacy to date - the recruitment of beria.
BingoBoingo: In his life Patton hated 3 things most: Nazis, Commies, and Louisiana
asciilifeform: the public data suggests 'useful idiot' rather than asset
asciilifeform did not recruit him, cannot say
BingoBoingo: Well, maybe Montgomery is #2
asciilifeform: 'in my time, there wasn't this poppycock'
asciilifeform: http://echo.msk.ru/att/element-736852-misc-001.jpg << mega-d3m0t1v4tor. 'stability! it's what we've striven for all of our life, right?'
