08:46 asciilifeform soooooo
08:47 asciilifeform i go and engage with the motherfucking heathens,
08:47 asciilifeform http://seclists.org/oss-sec/2016/q2/241
08:47 asciilifeform and 'the pig enjoyed it'
08:47 asciilifeform as always.
08:50 mircea_popescu doh. did i not tell you ?
08:50 asciilifeform surely.
08:50 mircea_popescu why do you listen so poorly !
08:50 asciilifeform the pig was there!
08:50 mircea_popescu lol.
08:51 mircea_popescu you know, you can be trained to do this right ; you're intelligent enough. but it's a slog, and it's also a lot like learning to play an instrument.
08:51 asciilifeform the sheer stench of 'official science' in boeck's answer!
08:51 mircea_popescu the best policy is to fucking decide if you're gonna or not gonna ; and then do or not do. doing sorta halfway is painful. even to watch.
08:52 asciilifeform well the trick is that it's a heavily censored official organ
08:52 mircea_popescu how's this a trick.
08:52 asciilifeform well, full-bore mircea_popescu prolly would not pass the mod
08:53 mircea_popescu meanwhile, check out what ancient lulz i found on pete's blog http://btcbase.org/log/?date=24-07-2014#766538
08:54 mircea_popescu asciilifeform that's nonsense. mircea_popescu is a matter of substance, not form. what oyu call full bore is merely an aggregate of stylistic choices i prefer [and i prefer them enough to put above the needs of others, because i simply don't care enough about unknown others], but otherwise it has an infinity of formal homomorphisms, and necessarily an infinity of those could match any arbitrary formal test.
08:55 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: then consider applying your methods..?
08:55 asciilifeform that particular list is quite popular among thinking folk.
08:55 mircea_popescu the only problem is that even if you put the effort into bowdlerization, you will not obtain a result better than i do ; because the "formal test" is actually devoid of substance.
08:55 asciilifeform some of whom prolly ought to be here.
08:55 mircea_popescu no, it is not. it is popular among a certain brand of castrato. i don't appreciate castrato opera.
08:55 asciilifeform there are the castratos.
08:55 mircea_popescu and i would estimate absolutely none of the people there should be here.
08:56 asciilifeform not the folks posting!
08:56 asciilifeform the ~readers~
08:56 mircea_popescu asciilifeform you perhaps still entertain this delusional hope that man is what he wishes to be / sees self as.
08:56 mircea_popescu man is what man does, no more.
08:56 asciilifeform not really, no.
08:56 asciilifeform man - is long pig.
08:56 mircea_popescu ah, the readers. why do they read there ? they could read here.
08:56 asciilifeform aha!
08:56 asciilifeform so show'em this.
08:56 mircea_popescu their choice, let them make it.
08:56 mircea_popescu nope.
08:57 asciilifeform skin not worth the tanning?
08:57 mircea_popescu what's next ? i'm going to show online sub why i should be her master ? am i under the influence of brain parasitosis ?
08:57 mircea_popescu the principle of the thing! you don't fucking top me from the bottom ffs!
08:57 mircea_popescu here : http://qntra.net/2016/05/phuctor-factors-united-states-disa-key/#comment-56733
08:58 asciilifeform i'm still at a loss how to properly separate this concept from full-bore solipsism.
08:58 mircea_popescu asciilifeform let us study this problem together, working on the basis of a 419/russian bride scam.
08:58 mircea_popescu you know what that is ?
08:59 asciilifeform approximately
08:59 mircea_popescu so let's delve.
09:00 mircea_popescu the 419 scam is a particular arbitrage of the knowledge problem. the way it works is that money in modern society consists of a substance and a form. its substance is hinted at by the "aml/kyc" bs, which is a whole other pile of lulz we won't be getting into here. you prefer to refer to it as "X couldn't own rembrandts" internally.
09:00 mircea_popescu the form of money is obvious, in the sense of the taste of food being obvious. it produces expected reactions in the senses.
09:01 mircea_popescu the way the scam works is that the settlement of substance.money does not in fact coincide with the settlement of form.money. this because there's an absolute thermodynamic taboo against coincidence.
09:01 mircea_popescu not all these dts are exploitable in practice ; but all are exploitable in principle.
09:02 mircea_popescu so S sends C you a check ; thereby transferring to you the form of some money ; but not their substance. C proceeds to send S a wire, thereby transferring the form and the substance ; C is out some money.
09:02 mircea_popescu it has a myriad forms, such as for instance http://btcbase.org/log/2016-05-04#1462441
09:02 a111 Logged on 2016-05-04 12:56 mircea_popescu: and in other lulz, http://dpaste.com/2Y0VAST
09:03 asciilifeform the thermodynamic 'taboo against the coincidence' is described in, oddly enough, winnie pooh! '"Well," said Pooh, "what I like best," and then he had to stop and think. Because although Eating Honey was a very good thing to do, there was a moment just before you began to eat it which was better than when you were, but he didn't know what it was called.'
09:03 mircea_popescu but they all reduce to "more fluff to make it easier for C to swallow the faux identity painted over a difference"
09:03 mircea_popescu so it is.
09:03 mircea_popescu now then. the russian bride is a peculiar variant of this scam, where the value transferred is not pecuniary, and thus encounters "troubles".
09:04 asciilifeform aha, where the value has legs.
09:04 mircea_popescu aha.
09:04 asciilifeform (money also has legs but they are short and caterpillar-like and thus not perceptible to untrained eye)
09:04 mircea_popescu so then - C wants the hottie ; but the hottie has a blood price. so C pays. except the price is kidnapped on route, so C pays ransom, except hottie falls ill etc etc
09:05 mircea_popescu the sad fact here is that you personally fall for this scam ALL THE FUCKING TIME.
09:05 asciilifeform hm?
09:05 mircea_popescu for instance : the seclist has a hottie (you think, for absolutely no reason - have you seen her tits ? there are rules for being a hottie, you know ?)
09:05 mircea_popescu except there's a price! so you pay the price... except... it's ransomed en route... so you... etc
09:05 mircea_popescu it's ridiculous, stop doing this.
09:05 asciilifeform l0l this begins to make sense.
09:06 mircea_popescu aha.
09:06 asciilifeform i also used to dig in junkyards tho.
09:06 mircea_popescu now, there is nothing wrong with this if engaged in for sport
09:06 mircea_popescu for lulz, for the evulz, for whatever the fuck.
09:06 asciilifeform but it was considerably more rewarding than digging the bocks.
09:07 mircea_popescu but there's something wrong when the brain parasite takes over the brain, and you start pursuing nonsense at the expense of your wealth, your health, your sanity and eventually your life.
09:11 asciilifeform i end up in the pigsties (bock, reddit, etc.) when i begin to think that the alternative is really a solipsism.
09:12 mircea_popescu and as to the bear and his honey, the moment before is called the endorphin shock.
09:12 asciilifeform because it isn't as if i have hitler's actual skull on my desk, as stalin did
09:12 mircea_popescu asciilifeform your strategy may not be driven by your perceived decision space.
09:12 mircea_popescu enemy can fuck with that.
09:12 asciilifeform how do i actually ~know~ that any of what we do makes a difference outside the skull ?
09:13 mircea_popescu how do you know the moon isn't actually made of petrified ejaculate ?
09:13 asciilifeform i am not seeing the victories.
09:13 asciilifeform the moon does not default to spoodge in my head.
09:13 mircea_popescu again : the problem of reacting instead of acting is that you'll necessarily be a muppet.
09:13 asciilifeform whereas my actual situation does default to defeat and misery, because that is the actual physical space i live in.
09:14 mircea_popescu now THIS is entirely within the skull.
09:14 asciilifeform not quite.
09:14 asciilifeform speaking of which!
09:14 * asciilifeform bbl, sitting on the stake
09:14 mircea_popescu it has been the observation throughout the ages that intelligent people are only happy as slaves ; which is how that whole "behind great man - great woman" thing got started ; or why samuel clemens had to get his daily spankings in wife's bedroom.
09:14 shinohai http://btcbase.org/log/2016-05-05#1463343 <<< I'll apply for a grant and research this.
09:14 a111 Logged on 2016-05-05 13:13 mircea_popescu: how do you know the moon isn't actually made of petrified ejaculate ?
09:15 mircea_popescu pity nasa got its funding cut.
09:17 shinohai "Dear Elon Musk, please fund an expedition to settle once and for all the argument of whether or not the moon is made of cheese of petrified ejaculate from space giants."
09:17 shinohai *or
09:18 mircea_popescu and speaking of neurotransmitters : the most reliable sign of opioid intoxication is decreased respiratory rate. a rate less than 12 where intoxication is a possibility (ie, not outright impossible) practically guarantees it's the case.

09:58 phf a lot of keybase keys are "Keybase OpenPGP v2.0.47", "Keybase Go 1.0.11 (darwin)" and even some "Keybase OpenPGP JS 0.0.1"
10:02 mircea_popescu heh
10:02 mircea_popescu now THOSE people should probably be notified.
10:09 phf so i got 38479 users, i'm going to download their keys, and then perhaps rerun the crawler to see if anyone else comes up
10:11 mircea_popescu works.

11:01 punkman gonna work on the gwern archives later, feel free to suggest any interesting things too look for while I'm searching for gpg keys/messages
11:03 asciilifeform http://btcbase.org/log/2016-05-05#1463352 << ahahaha the traditional 'i am mircea_popescu, a demigod, and all ~you~ lusers oughta be in cock cages, puny mortals'
11:03 a111 Logged on 2016-05-05 13:14 mircea_popescu: it has been the observation throughout the ages that intelligent people are only happy as slaves ; which is how that whole "behind great man - great woman" thing got started ; or why samuel clemens had to get his daily spankings in wife's bedroom.
11:04 mircea_popescu asciilifeform it's not MY observation ; but the girl's. i personally neither agree nor approve.
11:04 mircea_popescu punkman pgp keys and key ratings, ie the wot, most valuable thing in there imo.
11:04 mircea_popescu i suppose you could also look for titpix, but... you know, who cares.
11:04 punkman what key ratings?
11:05 mircea_popescu they rate each other.
11:05 asciilifeform did they signed-rate each other ??
11:05 punkman doubtful
11:05 mircea_popescu (no, not on a sane sort of system, but on random and mostly braindamaged implementations. nevertheless.)
11:05 asciilifeform or the other, useless kind of rate.
11:05 asciilifeform one survives; the other - is writing on the beach sand.
11:05 punkman also a lot of keys only went through private messages, so I dunno how many I'll even find
11:05 asciilifeform protocol/promise.
11:06 mircea_popescu punkman well, chiefly why you're looking, to find out how many.
11:06 mircea_popescu there's this loose group of fucktards who keep spewing nonsense a la "cryptoanarchists===us dope fiends set the foundations for bitcoin" and "silk road mattered economically" and so on and so forth.
11:06 punkman btc/altcoin addresses might also be interesting but a bit more intensive to mine
11:07 mircea_popescu some [more] hard data to go with all the rest of the hard data making fools of them can't hurt.
11:07 mircea_popescu punkman odds are you'll end up with the various mtgoxen wallet list
11:07 asciilifeform i have a picture - by no means an expert one - of how these folks saw themselves -
11:08 asciilifeform sorta like partizans prior to red army showing up and reconnecting.
11:08 punkman https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/alt.privacy.anon-server tard examples
11:08 punkman that I was browsing earlier
11:08 asciilifeform 'yes, hopelessly outnumbered and unskilled, but all around us is hitler'
11:08 mircea_popescu asciilifeform is it more or less summarized by pirateat40 harping in chan about how he's going to move the exchange rate and then getting his ass handed to him, publicly, in real time ?
11:08 asciilifeform nah that's just sc4mz0r sop
11:08 asciilifeform i'm speaking of the genuinely deluded
11:08 danielpbarron we don't "signed-rate" eachother either..
11:08 mircea_popescu the difference between pothead and "scammer" as this works in english is slight.
11:08 asciilifeform danielpbarron: we do, since assbot
11:09 mircea_popescu danielpbarron what we do reduces to that, yes.
11:09 danielpbarron but not in a way that outsiders can verify
11:09 mircea_popescu quite so.
11:10 asciilifeform http://seclists.org/oss-sec/2016/q2/255 << lulz, i sat on my arse and somebody did the filter wurk for me.
11:11 mircea_popescu in fact, the difference between pothead and esl-scammer is about of the size and substance of the difference between "poor woman" and "whore" in 1700. o, really , you're a good girl ?
11:11 asciilifeform (bock claimed to have used sks dump, but his set diverges considerably)
11:11 mircea_popescu asciilifeform as pointed out here yest :p
11:11 asciilifeform well no, it wasn't straight from dev/random
11:11 mircea_popescu oh i see.
11:11 asciilifeform it coincided with our set about 80%
11:12 asciilifeform almost like he used, e.g., ft meade's collection
11:12 mircea_popescu i'm going to be sarcastic now.
11:15 mircea_popescu but sure, watching the derp implode is decent comedy. "oh lines match" "well you have 273 lines here and 259 lines there" "oh this is the list" "except here's 11 you don't have". etc etc.
11:15 mircea_popescu the principal property of the usg.misc is that it collapses under own weight, so.
11:15 mircea_popescu "stay out of collapse path" is pretty much equal victory.
11:15 asciilifeform gold:
11:15 asciilifeform 'Now to the 10 keys that have valid selfsigs. Two are for

11:18 asciilifeform i'm just lulzing over the - apparently backdated???! - shithub
11:19 mircea_popescu BingoBoingo eh they just wanna whine for attention.
11:21 mircea_popescu anyway, is it a mere coincidence that some derp posing as a "free journalist" in berlin is the usg point man for the rsa diddling efforts ?
11:21 mircea_popescu seeing how most of the affected users happen to be in germany ?
11:22 asciilifeform waitasec
11:23 asciilifeform i thought bock was posing as a comp sci prof
11:23 asciilifeform and se333333k0000rit1 researcher
11:23 mircea_popescu no. he's an unemployed (and now unemployable) copywriter.
11:23 asciilifeform lel somehow i suspect that he is quite employed.
11:24 asciilifeform just not in the usual honest-wurk sense.
11:24 mircea_popescu and unfrequentable types are quite frequented. what's that do ?
11:24 mircea_popescu they're still unfrequentable.
11:24 asciilifeform what's an unfrequented-type ?
11:24 mircea_popescu hermits, really.
11:24 mircea_popescu you know, sourdough miners, naggum, redditards, that sorta thing
11:24 asciilifeform ah, folks like asciilifeform .
11:25 mircea_popescu awww. all the effort i put into being polite! gone in an instant!
11:25 asciilifeform lelz!
11:25 mircea_popescu but the point remains, there's a difference between unemployable and unemployed.
11:26 asciilifeform i'm also lulzing re how nobody seems to know about the old pgp standard where fp was bottom n bits of the mod
11:26 asciilifeform until i rubbed their snouts into it
11:26 asciilifeform and even now it is somehow 'irrelevant'
11:26 mircea_popescu expertise means something very different from itself, these days.
11:26 mircea_popescu rather mirroring the difference between understanding and mere recognition.
11:26 mircea_popescu at some point in the 70s the latter became the schoolhouse standard for knowledge,
11:27 mircea_popescu and in short order... cows are expert farmers. because they recognize a farmhouse.
11:27 mircea_popescu in other internet rot news : apparently google knows of no definition for the english world "unfrequentable"
11:27 mircea_popescu this takes the fucking cake already.
11:28 asciilifeform l0l!!
11:28 asciilifeform srsly?!
11:28 mircea_popescu look for self.
11:29 asciilifeform in other nyoooz, approaching the 2millionth modulus.
11:29 mircea_popescu sweet.
11:29 asciilifeform fuel tank has another 2-3 days in it.
11:30 mircea_popescu apparently there's going to be another 40kish or so from phf hopefully before then, which should bridge us over into next week, by which point hopefully either the ssh or the gwen archives start yielding
11:30 mircea_popescu such an unforeseen thirst, this.
11:30 asciilifeform well there is also the ~fresh~ sks.
11:30 mircea_popescu ah right. you got that ?
11:30 asciilifeform slicing it up, takes a while.
11:30 mircea_popescu cool.
11:31 asciilifeform prolly what i ought to do is have it suck in real time
11:31 asciilifeform i.e. host an sks mirror on dulap.
11:31 mircea_popescu yes, and the other additions re display keys.
11:31 asciilifeform but i really loathe the idea of propping up the old junkyard
11:31 asciilifeform yeah
11:31 mircea_popescu we'll end up the master sks in short order.
11:31 asciilifeform then we can start having our plugz pulled daily again, lel
11:31 mircea_popescu asciilifeform no, it's a good idea. will ease the move to proper key format as discussed yest at any rate.
11:31 asciilifeform ease how?
11:31 asciilifeform convert ancient keyz?
11:32 mircea_popescu sure.
11:32 asciilifeform haha like mormon church converts dead indians
11:32 mircea_popescu quite.
11:32 asciilifeform whynot
11:33 mircea_popescu what's the 8ball at yet ?
11:33 phf are the keys going to be in s-expressions? :)
11:34 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: still cooking the 50mil.
11:34 mircea_popescu phf http://btcbase.org/log/2016-05-05#1463187 suit you ?
11:34 a111 Logged on 2016-05-05 01:04 mircea_popescu: right. so the new standard for a rsa key is (e, N, userstring), and everyone's expected to produce THAT.
11:34 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: this weekend i will hook up the real-time grower
11:34 asciilifeform as suggested earlier in logz
11:34 mircea_popescu cool.
11:35 mircea_popescu kinda funny how it STILL pops moduli, really.
11:35 asciilifeform it might be more interesting to drop in random ~large~ primes tho
11:35 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: anything ever showing up in the usual 8ball can only be a factor of a random turd
11:35 asciilifeform never a proper key

11:39 asciilifeform it will go in the hopper.
11:39 mircea_popescu these can just go in as is, sweet.
11:39 * mircea_popescu is curious if this new quality feed will result in a flood.
11:39 mircea_popescu deedbot getting 25k lines in before morn.
11:40 asciilifeform well they'll go in after the current batch is over.
11:40 mircea_popescu what's it currently eat, about 30k/day ?
11:40 mircea_popescu more towards 50 ?
11:41 asciilifeform about 100k.
11:42 mircea_popescu aha. nb.
11:42 asciilifeform could EASILY be parallelized
11:42 asciilifeform but i deliberately did not focus on this piece.
11:42 mircea_popescu yeah sokay.
11:42 asciilifeform why blow entire box of chocolates in one night.
11:43 asciilifeform phf: did you get these with a crawler?
11:44 phf yes
11:44 asciilifeform what % of the total do they represent, would you say ?
11:44 mircea_popescu over 99%
11:44 asciilifeform spiffy
11:44 phf well, from my vantage point that's close to 100

11:45 asciilifeform tbh i'll be quite surprised if any of them pop
11:45 asciilifeform but hell knows.
11:46 mircea_popescu asciilifeform the estimate from the little crawling i did (looking at convergence of deduped/duped sets) places it at about 40k. previous, extant intel from business perspective said "under 50k". so all items point the same way
11:47 phf i'll do a second crawl, with a slightly cleaned up script, i might've lost a handful at the beginning because of some bugs. it's possible that there's some subpockets i didn't discover.
11:47 mircea_popescu phf want my deduped user list to check that theory ?

15:05 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: i thought the more typical american pattern was the opposite
15:05 asciilifeform where a chick is no longer appealing to pipe runners and looks for office bag
15:06 BingoBoingo What does they men's opinions have to do with the chick's behaviors?
