~ 1 hours 58 minutes ~
08:06 asciilifeform 'We hired such a person, and patted ourselves on the back for our proactive decision. On paper, he looked great; the reference we called confirmed his prior role and responsibility. He’d even been into Bitcoin since 2011/2012 and had built miners in his room. Awesome. We’ll call this new employee Bob… indeed his real name starts with a B. Over the next months, Bob built and managed ShapeShift’s infrastructure. He did okay, no
08:06 asciilifeform thing special, but we were content to have a professional taking care of devops at least well enough to enable our engineers to build upon the architecture.' << l0l!!
08:06 asciilifeform hire moar 'injuns' ahahaha.
08:07 asciilifeform 'Our server admin, in the midst of an investigation into a $130,000 theft, deletes his two keys, and only these two keys, without telling anyone, and then admits on our call that he did it because “they weren’t important.”'
08:08 asciilifeform and, best lulz,
08:08 asciilifeform 'Bob betrayed us. He betrayed his privileged position, profiting directly from the destruction of those who trusted him. He stole, lied, ran away, and then after being afforded a period of time long enough to reflect upon his actions, decided to betray us again for a few more scraps in his pathetic bowl. Hackers gonna hack, but it takes a certain variety of bastard to ascend to a trusted position, work face to face with a team, recei
08:08 asciilifeform ve a salary and confidence from that team, and then screw them all for barely enough money to buy a Tesla. Oh yeah, and then abandon a dog to starve alone, likely soon to be put down by animal services.'
08:09 asciilifeform vorhees was always a scumbag, and it is no surprise to me that his verminous nest is full of scumbags likewise.
08:11 BingoBoingo I was told by a commenter it is pronounced Veerhooves
08:11 asciilifeform i dun care if it's pronounced 'hoover vacuum co.'
08:12 asciilifeform first commenter is also 'usg gold'
08:13 asciilifeform 'Should have not fallen for pseudosecurity technobuble talk. Should have gotten second opinions. Should have used established information security frameworks and be extremely suspicious on why they are not being used... ...It is a common misconception that to defend against hacking you must hire a hacker. Perhaps you've been watching that old movie "hacker" and lots of other Hollywood produce too much and believed that crap. In reali

11:12 shinohai want me to send an asian hooker up there to "massage" you?
11:12 mod6 yes, please.
11:13 mod6 i feel like someone has worked me over with a hockey stick
11:15 BingoBoingo It's prolly Zika
11:15 * shinohai looks for Asian therapists that double as nurses ...

11:31 asciilifeform from the dept. of definitely-not-news,

11:32 asciilifeform 'GnuPG 1.2.3... If you have used ElGamal keys for signing your private key can be compromised, and a malicious keyserver could remotely execute arbitrary code with the permissions of the user running gpgkeys_hkp.'
11:32 asciilifeform phun phakt: guess HOW they fixed this.
11:33 asciilifeform i won't even say, will leave it as a jawdropper to the alert reader.
11:43 mircea_popescu http://btcbase.org/log-search?q=black << check it out, i own this word!
11:43 mircea_popescu http://btcbase.org/log-search?q=jews << and this one
11:43 mircea_popescu holy shit i'm the token tmsr racist.
11:44 PeterL you have been the consistent most verbose person here for years, you probably own all the words
11:44 asciilifeform blackjews.txt
11:44 mircea_popescu oh damn, it's just sheer volume huh.
11:44 phf (fyi http://btcbase.org/log-top-posters )
11:45 mircea_popescu phf so this is not a complaint, but : i really liked the way the log search worked, because : right now i'm searching for that portion in the logs where i explained that the us blacks are kinda like the jews, demographically, and will prolly get wiped.
11:45 mircea_popescu i can't use grepping for this. if it did token join search i could search for blacks jews
11:45 mircea_popescu so what do i do ?
11:46 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: this is still lulzy, imho, wiped by ~whom~ ? 'pencilnecked' whitez ?
11:46 asciilifeform chinese overlords ?
11:46 mircea_popescu the pencilnecks don't matter in any discussion.
11:46 asciilifeform sure. so who'll it be ?
11:47 asciilifeform i mean, folks don't stuff ~themselves~ into oven, no
11:47 trinque man, do you not realize how many rednecks there are in this country?
11:47 mircea_popescu the great black swamp still fills womens' breats with milk. you don't need THAT MANY people to wipe a 12%ish pesky minority.
11:47 mircea_popescu ^
11:47 phf mircea_popescu: so i started working on a proper search, but that takes time, since need a query parser and a query compiler, that's maybe 40% done. but i can give you relatively soon an ability to pass multiple q parameters. so it'll be log-search?q=black&q=jews so that those will stack up, i.e. first grep is applied and the second one is used as filter
11:47 mircea_popescu he has nfi because he doesn't live ion the country, he lives in the red square.
11:47 trinque no kidding
11:47 mircea_popescu phf very nice.
11:47 mircea_popescu i'd say a multiparam grep search is already a full solution for this problem.
11:48 asciilifeform trinque: i know approximately how many. i also know what they amount to, if past c. is any guide (from waco to mcveigh to the oregon clowns)
11:48 phf mircea_popescu: by the way, &from=foo already works, i.e. &from=mircea will only show...
11:48 mircea_popescu the past is no guide.
11:48 mircea_popescu a cool.
11:48 mircea_popescu btw, do we want a wiki ?
11:48 mircea_popescu it's an iffy proposition, on one hand it's an obligation to keep up to date, because an outdated one is worse than none.
11:49 mircea_popescu but on the other wtf are noobs to do.
11:50 phf we need a single page wiki
11:50 asciilifeform ^
11:50 trinque asciilifeform: check out trump for example; he's easing them back into having good old fashioned political riots
11:50 mircea_popescu asciilifeform consider zee german folk, that law abiding, king and country worshipping cow that spent the middle ages in the WORST shackles of all, not matched by the blacks in the empire of brazil or by anyone since.
11:50 mircea_popescu yet after they were accused of stabbing the army in the back, they overthrew the government "without breaking as much as a windowpane"
11:51 mircea_popescu and then raped women in the street for a few years, by the thousands.
11:51 trinque give it a few terms and somebody will be up there screaming about the lost greatness of merkuh, and there will be hoards of ignorant and angry blue collar guys loving it
11:51 asciilifeform trinque: as far as i can see, he's a stage prop for clitler's ordained throne
11:51 trinque too easy
11:51 mircea_popescu yeah the idea of keeping it tight and narrow might well be best.
11:51 trinque just because he knew and dealt with the clintons doesn't mean he likes them
11:51 mircea_popescu trinque dude, merkuh! the land that sunk when they took ur jerbz. fabulous. you came up with it ?
11:51 asciilifeform trinque: the 'american hitler' thing's been forecast for ~80y
11:51 asciilifeform some reason keeps not happennin'.
11:52 mircea_popescu asciilifeform hitler dun really enter into this.
11:52 mircea_popescu there's a very specific, well known problem of minorities in a specific percentage with specific societal differences.
11:52 asciilifeform i know of no precedent for dalit exterminations
11:53 mircea_popescu hitler has ~nothing with czechs obliterating gypsies, nor milosevic with serbs obliterating croats etc.
11:53 asciilifeform who will shovel the shit ?
11:53 mircea_popescu you know of no precedent ?!
11:53 trinque mircea_popescu: dunno where "merkuh" came from
11:53 mircea_popescu ;;google salem witch trials

11:53 mircea_popescu no hitler there, either.
11:53 asciilifeform no class extermination there either ?
11:54 asciilifeform just buncha old broads gettin' cooked
11:55 asciilifeform at any rate, 'no precedent' != 'can't happen'
11:55 asciilifeform just means it won't happen ~for the stated historical reason~
11:55 trinque you should go to a shitty bar in TX sometime
11:55 trinque outside the major cities
11:56 asciilifeform trinque: what do i look for there ?
11:56 asciilifeform an old brass spittoon ?
11:56 asciilifeform a hog-fucker named Slim ?
11:56 trinque lol
11:57 asciilifeform 'they were soooooowwz!111 judge!111'
11:57 mircea_popescu what is your idea of class ?
11:58 trinque you let the federal system fade a bit, and I think there are plenty of roughneck "good old boys" that'll step up and do the killing
11:58 mircea_popescu all that's needed is specified physical characteristics that make most of the population ontologically secure.
11:58 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: gypsies yes, street-sweepers no
11:58 mircea_popescu "wrinkled old broads" "dudes with colored skin" "circumcised and hooknosed" work well.
11:59 asciilifeform wrinkled broad or hooknosed dude have ~something to steal~
11:59 asciilifeform what do you take from the coloured dude
11:59 mircea_popescu this has ~ nothing to do with anything.
11:59 mircea_popescu people don't kill for money.
11:59 asciilifeform but it demonstrably did at salem
11:59 asciilifeform and in germany.
11:59 mircea_popescu only if you're insane, "demonstrably".
11:59 mircea_popescu coincidentally.
11:59 asciilifeform the folks who stoked the initial flame, they stood to gain.
12:00 mircea_popescu looky, this is nothing more than trying to make reality less abrasive by proposing that "we're not really so different".
12:00 mircea_popescu "we" are, you and them.
12:00 asciilifeform waiwut
12:00 mircea_popescu what did lenin stand to gain ?
12:01 asciilifeform pretty obvious what
12:01 mircea_popescu random beerhall aggitator / painter / corporal stood to gain a prison sentence
12:01 mircea_popescu which he gained.
12:01 asciilifeform relevance, caviar, chix
12:01 mircea_popescu pretty retrospective-obvious, man.
12:01 mircea_popescu i have no idea why you have so much trouble with the flux of time.
12:01 mircea_popescu it really isn't fucking reversible already.
12:01 asciilifeform prolly because unlike mircea_popescu i am not a demigod living outside of time..?
12:01 mircea_popescu vice-versa. unlike mp, you pretend to be one.
12:02 BingoBoingo <asciilifeform> what do you take from the coloured dude << Your neighborhood's value.
12:03 mircea_popescu also they're the only ones with children.
12:05 mircea_popescu in all of this, anyone actually have a link to the discussion in question ?
12:05 mircea_popescu i still can't fucking find it.
12:05 BingoBoingo Really entire departments of USG would become unneessary.

12:08 a111 Logged on 2014-10-01 11:58 mircea_popescu: if i were black in the us i would be fucking worried for my children. being ~10% of the population and >50% of the public discourse is how the hasidim suddenly disappeared from history.

12:08 mircea_popescu tyvm
12:08 asciilifeform srsly this took me 10 min
12:08 asciilifeform and is entirely unnecessary
12:08 mircea_popescu memory is a harsh mistress
12:09 asciilifeform i motherfucking hate this iso thing.
12:09 asciilifeform it has ZERO justification.
12:09 asciilifeform iso is not in my wot.
12:09 trinque you don't want the numbers in order of magnitude?
12:09 trinque wat?
12:09 asciilifeform i want SAME FORMAT AS BEFORE
12:09 trinque oh whatever
12:09 asciilifeform what part of this is hard to understand.
12:09 trinque "we've always done this"
12:09 asciilifeform yes.
12:09 asciilifeform and there was nothing wrong with it.
12:10 trinque see: x86
12:10 asciilifeform x86 is clinically retarded
12:10 asciilifeform the old format was HARMLESS
12:10 asciilifeform NOT comparable.
12:11 asciilifeform srsly.
12:11 asciilifeform show me ~something~ useful you were unable to do on account of the old format.
12:11 mircea_popescu you don';t get "same as before".
12:11 mircea_popescu you get "same as logical". sorry!
12:11 asciilifeform how is this crapolade 'logical' ?
12:11 mircea_popescu in-order-of-magnitude.
12:12 asciilifeform why not epochal date then.
12:12 mircea_popescu that's his choice isn't it ?
12:12 asciilifeform sure.
12:13 mircea_popescu so that's why : phf did it this way.
12:13 mircea_popescu but in general evolution is from tradition to sense, and when multiple sensible approaches are present the owner decides, with or without support from the forum at his option.
12:15 asciilifeform at any rate i'll prolly stop noticing when phf's search worx and i can stop using kako's.
12:16 mircea_popescu mthreat 's
12:16 asciilifeform ah.
12:16 asciilifeform yes.
12:17 mircea_popescu tbh epoch time prolly a bad idea. for one thing - it is fundamentally retarded in implementation and for this reason not actually usable as intended (see discussion as to why it should be UNIVERSAL and timezone applied on top of it not this random variable). for the other thing, it's not so friendly to humans, whereas the urls are intended and expected to be hand-processable.
12:17 mircea_popescu a sort of clearsign for the web, if you will.
12:18 mircea_popescu that's why blog.com/?p=article_count is bad and blog.com/?p=article_title is good.
12:19 asciilifeform yeah but the ~reason~ epochal time is seen as 'unfriendly' is precisely because we are so addicted to traditional calendar, no ?
12:19 mircea_popescu no. it's because we have five digits and it has 14.
12:19 asciilifeform and i will point out that epochs as implemented in sane places don't partake of the 'time zone' crapolade.
12:20 mircea_popescu if you say "as implemented* (in sane places)" you've said "burn this thing down"
12:21 asciilifeform nowhere did i say 'not burn down' ! l0l
12:21 mircea_popescu :p
12:21 asciilifeform incidentally epoch in ~hours~ is 6dig.
12:21 mircea_popescu there is that.
12:21 mircea_popescu 6 is still too many.
12:21 asciilifeform fewer than a gregorian date !
12:21 mircea_popescu ever wondered why it went away ?
12:21 asciilifeform what did
12:21 mircea_popescu gregorian date.
12:21 asciilifeform mircea_popescu been drinkin' or wat
12:22 asciilifeform julian - went away.
12:22 asciilifeform gregorian - is here.
12:22 mircea_popescu ;/
12:23 mircea_popescu that joke didn't work out!
12:23 asciilifeform related legend: a very drinkin' fella is stopped by a traffic cop. the latter writes a ticket, and says 'be in the courtroom at 2'
12:23 asciilifeform driver answers with question,
12:23 asciilifeform '2 AM or FM ?'
12:23 mircea_popescu lol
12:31 asciilifeform in other otherliness,
12:31 asciilifeform ''I don't see a reason to have a x of about the same size as the p. It should be sufficient to have one about the size of q or the later used k plus a large safety margin. Decryption will be much faster with such an x. Note that this is not optimal for signing keys becuase it makes an attack using accidential small K values even easier. Well, one should not use ElGamal signing anyway.'

12:36 asciilifeform there.
12:36 mircea_popescu anyway. one should not use elgamal anything anyway.
12:36 asciilifeform or from the tarball, originally posted by mircea_popescu (which is where i've been working from for past yr)
12:36 mircea_popescu plox to not reuse in any shape or form.
12:37 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: c-s uses the basic parts of elgamal, hence the investigation.
