01:06 asciilifeform yes, and hence the smartcard is garbage.
01:06 joecool an attacker *could* attempt 3 times to use it with a pin
01:07 joecool before it locks itself out forever
01:07 joecool so it's a non-issue
01:07 asciilifeform doesn't matter - you unlock the card, and it signs whatever kernel wants it to sign.
01:07 joecool asciilifeform: except it needs a pin every time to do it, and it needs to be physically present
01:07 asciilifeform attacker pwns the pc, you personally unlock the card, thinking you will do operation X, in actuality: Y.

01:38 ozbot News from The Associated Press
01:38 mircea_popescu anyway, the statement of that point im happy with is in http://trilema.com/2013/stage-n-bitcoin-exists/
01:39 mircea_popescu specifically, "As far as experience shows, people don’t tend to support states that either stupidly or unwittingly include rules among their enemies. You can’t win a war against math, or against drugs, or against “social injustice”, or “kulaks”. Soon after the Soviet government moved its focus from entities to rules, it lost the support of the people. Soon after the other-Soviet government moved its focus f
01:39 mircea_popescu rom entities to rules, it also lost the support of the people. There weren’t that many people burning American flags in 1860, you know ? Why do you think not ? You can support a government killing Indians, or bison. You can’t support a government fighting chemical compounds."
01:39 mircea_popescu this'd be a better distinction than simply over/under, because it's a difference in kind not degree.
01:39 mircea_popescu ymmv.
01:43 chetty If that plane went on for hours why werent the people on board using cell phones?
01:43 asciilifeform chetty: not much cell service in the sea.
01:44 mircea_popescu you need a tower reasonably close
01:46 chetty they were over land there of a while
01:46 mircea_popescu then again... chinese people. someone probably told them not to use cell phones
01:46 mircea_popescu and so they didn't. period.
01:47 asciilifeform also helps to remember that cell jammer fits in a belt buckle if necessary.
01:47 asciilifeform or, if you like exciting life, in the plane's own instrumentation.
01:47 chetty good point asciilifeform
01:47 mircea_popescu did they ever get fitted with that in the end ?
01:47 asciilifeform you know, the same one that gets a magic packet and steers the flying coffin 1000km into the sea and then down.
01:49 moiety my sides mircea_popescu !!!!!!
01:49 mircea_popescu moiety what did you do ?
01:49 joecool asciilifeform: cell jammers are also much more effective as they move away from towers
01:49 moiety feeeh-lings
01:50 moiety read your article
01:50 mircea_popescu o o hehe
01:50 asciilifeform the most effective cell jammer doesn't simply piss out white noise, but emulates a functioning tower - one which happens to route calls into '/dev/null'
01:51 asciilifeform you can't buy this one from 'alibaba' but there it is.
01:51 joecool asciilifeform: there are a lot of standards to cover with a fake tower
01:51 asciilifeform power needed is miniscule
01:51 asciilifeform joecool: this is a commercial product
01:51 mircea_popescu yeah srsly, prolly white noise most effectual

01:52 mircea_popescu haha cell mitm ?
01:52 asciilifeform 'catcher' is normally pictured as a wiretapping tool
01:52 asciilifeform but is perfectly adequate for this other purpose.
01:52 asciilifeform all known cell systems use 'toy' crypto
01:52 asciilifeform and certainly no serious authentication of 'this is a genuine tower'

01:52 mircea_popescu this is engineering these days.
01:53 joecool gsm mitm is fairly easy with 2G technologies, the hardware isn't very expensive and the software is opensource
01:53 asciilifeform this is cell engineering from day 1.
01:53 mircea_popescu the whole banking system was well fucked, what with its odd notions of a cheque
01:53 mircea_popescu so knowing that, let's build another whole industry on rotten basics
01:53 asciilifeform the mandatory use of toy crypto in consumer telephony was blatant and entirely conspicuous.
01:56 mircea_popescu i have no idea who exactly would wish to live in a world where a company making a product asks any government what it thinks on the topic.
01:57 asciilifeform i've suggested before that it is a mistake to see u.s. tech firms (certainly after ww2) as meaningfully separate from usg.
01:57 asciilifeform the cliche 'privatize profits, public pays losses' is overused, but applies.
01:58 mircea_popescu it's by now a mistake to see anything in the us command economy as meaningfully separate from anything else.
01:58 mircea_popescu they've plainly confessed to it what with the "too big to fail" doctrine,
01:58 asciilifeform they've been linked in this way since the war.
01:58 mircea_popescu which is strctly command economy under another name
01:58 asciilifeform in the case of at&t and certain others, arguably earlier.
01:58 mircea_popescu i guess so.
01:59 asciilifeform microshit, for instance, is quite easily 'Department of Software'
01:59 mircea_popescu hey, even sacred monsters a la buffett are reduced to teary eyed confessions of belief in the party, even at the zenith of their career/intellectual lucidity
01:59 assbot [HAVELOCK] [COG] 3 @ 0.03652008 = 0.1096 BTC [+]
01:59 joecool asciilifeform: i'd argue longer actually than WW2
01:59 asciilifeform 'play ball' or 'have problems.'
02:00 mircea_popescu someone did this as power moved from lenin to stalin but i don't recall who the fuck
02:00 mircea_popescu they wheeled in some ancient revolutionary bolshevik to praise the party.
02:00 joecool asciilifeform: i mean the communication framework was setup in the early 30's
02:00 asciilifeform voroshilov ?
02:00 mircea_popescu joecool i guess there's a good point here, in the sense that the infrastructure is really old, phreakin did exist, what is one to do
02:01 mircea_popescu but let me point out that digital comms is a whole new industry.
02:01 mircea_popescu none of the old infrastructure was usable, not really, towers is one thing copper is another and so on
02:01 joecool mircea_popescu: unless you count telegraph as digital
02:01 mircea_popescu my original comments refer strictly to this, while old landline is what it is, nobody forced cellphones to suck
02:02 mircea_popescu asciilifeform yes that's him.

These may be escaped, true, if prices or costs are

05:46 mircea_popescu If, however, costs and prices are determined by full-bore competition, there is more than ample capacity, and the buyer cares little about whose product or distribution services he uses, industry economics are almost certain to be unexciting. They may well be disastrous."

21:27 ozbot The Bitcoin network costs nearly $1 billion a year to run. : Bitcoin
21:27 Dimsler the real fatal flaw to bitcoin
21:27 Dimsler is the distribution of new coins
21:27 Dimsler and network costs
21:33 lnovy electricity burned is almost directly transformed into network security which more or less directly affects price. The real problem and wasting is not with distributed mining but with nondistributed chain verification as this needs to be done by every participant indepently and every new member of network need to check whole chain. This is a problem that will kill ethereum very quicky as you are actually not paying transaction fee for inclusion i
21:34 assbot [HAVELOCK] [B.EXCH] 8 @ 0.11950724 = 0.9561 BTC [-]
21:34 lnovy I'm trying to fix this in my coin, releasing asap™ (and no, it's not a currency).
21:34 Dimsler can i premine it?
21:34 Dimsler lol
21:36 lnovy it's will not be a storage of value, so feel free, but it's doomed to fail anyway, it's only a proof of concept same as huntercoin :)
21:37 lnovy still... it will be a jaw dropper, you can bet on it
21:38 MisterE if you want to fix the problem force miners to reclaim wasted heat
21:39 lnovy that problem will fix itselfs by the market...
21:39 dub whats amex opex like?
21:39 MisterE so ahy hasn't it
21:41 lnovy amex opex of what?
21:42 mircea_popescu Dimsler if oyu say so.
21:43 mircea_popescu dub american express does options nao ?
21:43 lnovy oh, this amex :D
21:44 dub ok so amex spent 2.8b opex last year
21:44 dub they are fairly small as payment processors go right?
21:44 dub Dimsler can parrot failed trollmemes all he likes
21:45 dub wait, that might quarterly
21:45 Dimsler well no
21:45 Dimsler its a serious flaw
21:45 mircea_popescu dub amex is one of the majors.
21:46 dub smaller than visa and mc tho
21:46 mircea_popescu nah larger. 33bn/8bn vs 10/2bn for visa
21:47 mircea_popescu roughly same for mc, slighly lower, something like that.
21:47 dub probably significantly skewed
21:48 mircea_popescu amex actually employs like... twice as many ppl as mc/visa combined or some shit.
21:48 mircea_popescu it's huge.
21:49 cazalla why do t hey need that many employees?
21:49 lnovy that reddit post kills itself in first two lines... it's like saying that cost of running banking system is equivalent to amount of fiat printed...

21:49 mircea_popescu da fuck do i know. better ask chenault
21:49 mircea_popescu or w/e is the ceo by now
21:49 dub probably to process a reciept for every bullet the USG buys
21:50 mircea_popescu fuck me it's still chenault
21:50 mircea_popescu he's in there since before greenspan o.o
21:52 dub anyway having a tiny fraction of the costs of incumbents sure sounds like a serious flaw
21:52 dub a Real Problem in the john kerry sense
21:52 mircea_popescu a kerriblem
21:53 mircea_popescu there's problems, see, and pros solve problems. then there's kerriblems, and kerry solves those.

22:00 mircea_popescu apparently stone age is profitable enough.
22:02 dub a US megacorp i worked for pushed an innordinant amount of what should have been internal txns out to amex

22:03 mircea_popescu dub primitive blockchain
22:03 dub expect there is a lot of that going on, why run lean?

22:31 Diablo-D3 [10:02:38] <dub> a US megacorp i worked for pushed an innordinant amount of what should have been internal txns out to amex
22:31 Diablo-D3 wat

22:47 mircea_popescu Neil you'll be surprised by how creatively "forced" can be interpreted by politics, in either direction.
22:48 mircea_popescu "nobody is forced to talk to the da", as exemplified by my earlier link, for one side of the coin. "wage slavery" equals forcing people to x y z on the other.
22:48 assbot [HAVELOCK] [AM100] 395 @ 0.006 = 2.37 BTC [+]
22:49 mircea_popescu there's ample caselaw showing both the "putting a gun to your head does not constitute forcing you" argument and the "minding your own business and cultivating your own field amounts to forcing other people" argument.
22:54 mircea_popescu "Other things being equal, the highest stock market prices relative to intrinsic business value are given to companies whose managers have demonstrated their unwillingness to issue shares at any time on terms unfavorable to the owners of the business."

22:58 dub Diablo-D3: wat wat
22:58 Diablo-D3 dub: how does that even happen
22:59 dub meh its too hard to explain how the world works to someone thats never had a job
22:59 Diablo-D3 dub: what was the outcome of this
22:59 dub of what
22:59 Diablo-D3 of that mistake

23:00 ozbot Legitimate Wager: 300 Bitcoins vs. 1 Class A Share of Berkshire Hathaway : Bitcoin
23:00 dub im not following you
23:00 Diablo-D3 dub: what happened when the corp send the internal txns to amex
23:00 jcpham apparently he backed out of class A shares
23:01 dub Diablo-D3: nothing, its BAU.. I was offering a reason for why amex is 'larger' than processors with more footprint
23:01 Diablo-D3 ahh
23:01 mircea_popescu http://bitbet.us/bet/777/berkshire-hathaway-brk-a-will-close-at-over-185k/
23:01 Diablo-D3 thought maybe amex got pissed or something
23:01 mircea_popescu was it that ?
23:01 ozbot BitBet - Berkshire Hathaway BRK-A will close at over $185k per share before July
23:02 mircea_popescu haha look at that, reddit generates 200 comments worth 20k words for a 0.25 btc wager.
23:02 mircea_popescu the wear&tear on the cheap chiense keyboards involved probably exceeds that figure.
23:04 dub how much energy does reddit waste?
23:04 dub thats a real problem
23:05 dub if we ground up all the redditors and rendered them down for biomass..
23:05 mircea_popescu you don't understand, they're making the world a better place.
23:05 mircea_popescu if it wasn't for reddit you'd probably still be killing animals for meat
23:05 dub we could at least run bitconi for a year and the world would only be half as retarded
23:06 mircea_popescu and like... who knows what other perversions. talking to girls prolly.
23:07 dub mom is girl tho rite?
23:07 mircea_popescu only if trampstamped.

23:09 jcpham i found it funny he posted a reddit thread about putting your money where your mouth is....
23:10 jcpham it's looks like 2 people took him up on it
23:10 jcpham and suddenly he had no A, only B shares
23:10 jcpham pretty terrible bet if you ask me
23:12 MisterE Buffet doesnt get BTC
