00:00 decimation asciilifeform: I suspect for the second half that they don't think of themselves as evil - they think that those who would wish them ill as evil. they are just trying to do good, you see - they are just "in the loop"
00:01 asciilifeform there are definitely elements of a 'forbidden city' wank fantasy also.
00:01 asciilifeform 'if i get 8 inches of crystalline unobtainium armour, i must be important'
00:02 decimation as I recall, the leaders of those who overthrew the czar immediately began using his fancy boats, palaces, etc for their own private benefit because "they were for the people"
00:02 asciilifeform aha.
00:03 BingoBoingo asciilifeform> 'if i get 8 inches of crystalline unobtainium armour, i must be important' << Shhh stop talking about my tent

00:03 assbot Logged on 11-09-2014 23:45:36; asciilifeform: 'Take a look in History, flip through her pages. The first action in revolutions of recent history -- the erection of barricades. They'll smash the cobble stones of the street, dig them out, and block off the road with them. They'll stop cars, buses, fill the street with bricks. And also they'll attack, plunder, raze, and put to the torch the city hall, administrative buildings, presidential palace
00:03 assbot Logged on 11-09-2014 23:45:36; asciilifeform: t, shops, warehouses. The crowd has - a correct instinct. It would like to destroy the city - the citadel of power of the political and economic kind - the root cause of its travails. The crowd is stopped in its tracks by those who have plans for the city hall, for the presidential palace. We will not stop the crowd.' (Limonov, 'The Other Russia.') - translation mine.
00:05 BingoBoingo thestringpuller: You finish wasp yet?

00:20 assbot Eric Frein manhunt wipes out speeding tickets, citations - The Morning Call
00:21 decimation asciilifeform: so at least %15 of the pa state police are hunting for this guy?
00:21 asciilifeform at least.
00:22 asciilifeform and what fraction of the pencil pushers - devil knows
00:22 mircea_popescu "C
00:22 mircea_popescu urtis Gibbs of Allentown got a break this month when he went to court for allegedly slapping state Trooper Joe Bushta's horse during Musikfest."
00:22 mircea_popescu i... beg your pardon ?!
00:22 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: in most u.s. states, any case involving a policeman requires that he appear in person.
00:23 asciilifeform (if he is alive.)
00:23 mircea_popescu not my point.
00:23 mircea_popescu my point is, you expect me to show up in court because a horse ?!
00:23 asciilifeform ah, well, the other point.
00:23 asciilifeform ask them.
00:23 mircea_popescu get off your horse lmao

00:25 BingoBoingo Where do I get a cylinder #5?
00:26 asciilifeform i'd love a container-2.
00:26 decimation BingoBoingo: as in a propane bottle?
00:27 asciilifeform or -30
00:27 asciilifeform 2 contained Real Earthling Food
00:27 BingoBoingo decimation: No, the one with a phone built in, Cylinder #22's third most important companion
00:27 decimation BingoBoingo: oh you mean the book duh. I like cylinder 22
00:27 decimation yeah, if you are going to be a wasp with support, secure comms are pretty important
00:28 BingoBoingo The problem though is support can be more dangerous than the enemy
00:28 decimation heh yeah I half expected the book to end with the man dying at the end of the sights of a Terran space-marine
00:28 BingoBoingo Imagine how many Wasps must have fallen to "friendly" infantry on first contact
00:29 asciilifeform see also, required reading, 'mother night' (k. vonnegut)
00:29 asciilifeform very similar theme.
00:32 mircea_popescu <BingoBoingo> The problem though is support can be more dangerous than the enemy << this is very true. french resisters had an ambiguous reputation with the foreign secret agents dropped in the field.
00:36 decimation vonnegut was pissed that his father failed to bring him up in German culture, and dropped him in "one language English only" americanism << "But no, absolutely not – it was almost perverse, I think, that my father would cut me off from the past in such a way. And I think Germans are the most American of all people; [Dwight D.] Eisenhower was as American as a McDonald’s hamburger." http://www.hanknuwer.com/vonnegut.html
00:36 assbot Kurt Vonnegut on Indianapolis, Kilgore Trout, and Dresden
00:37 asciilifeform decimation: this is abundantly clear in the mentioned book
00:37 mircea_popescu he definitely has a point.
00:37 decimation I've only read slaugherhouse five, I'll have to pick that up
00:38 decimation the germans in the us were basically cowed by the english into giving up their past so that they wouldn't be suspect during ww I&II

00:43 BingoBoingo decimation: My present locale only had a german newspaper until 1917
00:43 BingoBoingo Schools similarly didn't have advanced classes in Ingles
00:44 asciilifeform there are supposedly towns in usa speaking a kind of fossilized 18th c. german.
00:45 decimation asciilifeform: yeah http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=02-08-2014#781802
00:45 assbot Logged on 02-08-2014 05:53:18; decimation: there is actually a small Germantown in America: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_German
00:49 BingoBoingo asciilifeform: Quite a few. Mostly in Missouri Arkansas and Texas
00:49 asciilifeform there were once such germans in ussr, too.
00:49 BingoBoingo Well, USSR had hunters...
00:49 BingoBoingo I saw enemy at the gate...
00:50 asciilifeform actually quite a few remained there until '90s
00:50 decimation I have distant ancestors who lived in odessa, they were invited by Catherine the Great
00:50 asciilifeform mostly moved to germany, afaik.
00:50 BingoBoingo Hard to move to EU from Arkansas
00:50 asciilifeform there were fully-functional german hamlets in, even, kazakhstan
00:51 decimation well, many were rounded up and forcibly moved by the post wwii allies and stalin
00:51 BingoBoingo Oh, there are fully functional hamlets in the Ozarks
00:51 asciilifeform when do we get to hear about the micro-germanies of argentina.
00:52 BingoBoingo asciilifeform: When they finish the bomb
00:52 BingoBoingo Argentine microGermanies are newer and moar urgent
00:53 BingoBoingo And were formed on ideas stronger than Prussia sucks
00:54 decimation http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=20-03-2014#569216
00:54 assbot Logged on 20-03-2014 01:13:02; decimation: In 1897, there lived 345 000 Germans in Ukraine, that was 4,2 % of the population. In 1911, there were 419 000 Germans. ... In spite of it, Germans played an important part in the Ukrainian culture life. Until 1914 many professors at Ukrainian universities were Germans.
00:54 decimation it is sad that the world has largely lost this diaspora because of hitler's derpage
00:55 asciilifeform what the anglos did to germany, will be remembered as -the- 20th c. crime.
00:57 decimation well, it was also partially done during the first world war too
00:57 asciilifeform mostly then.
00:57 asciilifeform in 1911, physics, chemistry, were practically as synonymous with germany as seppuku is with japan.
00:58 decimation even in wwii german technology was generally superior
00:58 BingoBoingo 1911 Forces my brain to think of the Colt pistol
00:58 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: now that you mention it, damn, also.
00:59 decimation I heard from a fellow who was in charge of trying to duplicate german paint technology post-wwii. they were amazed to find german railcars painted 10 years earlier that looked new
00:59 asciilifeform good symbol of american degradation incidentally. afaik all examples produced in past 20 years or so - have 'zamac' parts.
00:59 BingoBoingo asciilifeform: In American lore the only silent bullets happen in .45 ACP or .22 LR
01:00 asciilifeform subsonics?
01:00 BingoBoingo asciilifeform: Full power .45 ACP is subsonic by nature.
01:00 BingoBoingo Tis a heavy motherfucker
01:00 asciilifeform low-pressure by design, if i recall, yes.
01:00 BingoBoingo But I dunno why anyone would go for a recent frame
01:00 asciilifeform cost?
01:01 BingoBoingo $300-Maxint, median seems aroung $1500 per pistol
01:01 decimation well, and the kalash is based on the stg 44
01:02 BingoBoingo And if SKS came 6 months earlier Berlin would need no airlift
01:02 asciilifeform decimation: misconception. study the drawings. very different systems.
01:02 asciilifeform decimation: the cartridge - was.
01:03 asciilifeform note - full machinist drawings for historic arms can, with minimal effort, be found on the net.
01:03 asciilifeform someone even took the trouble to translate notes to english, in many cases.
01:03 asciilifeform presumably - enthusiasts are making them still...
01:03 decimation yeah they kinda look similar superficially. At least the stg44 proved the concept
01:04 BingoBoingo <asciilifeform> someone even took the trouble to translate notes to english, in many cases. << Sad so long take for 9 letter dictionary
01:04 asciilifeform ?
01:05 BingoBoingo asciilifeform: Machining specs, Many numbers, but few units of measure
01:05 mircea_popescu <asciilifeform> in 1911, physics, chemistry, were practically as synonymous with germany as seppuku is with japan. << this is true
01:06 mircea_popescu philosophy still is.
01:06 decimation yeah we haven't had a better kant come along yet
01:07 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: few units of measure << millimetre, what else you need.
01:07 asciilifeform assuming ru/de/fr blueprints.
01:08 mircea_popescu decimation not even what i had in mind. i think i ruined someone's life with frege earlier in the logs.

01:11 decimation well, here's a notion: what happened in germany circa 1790-1890 that caused such great minds to mature to fruition?
01:11 mircea_popescu decimation school beatings.

01:21 mircea_popescu decimation this honestly is never a problem.
01:21 mircea_popescu i found teaching idiots (literally, 70ish iq) a lot easier and more palatable than teaching "normal" kids.
01:21 mircea_popescu in some environments, intelligence is a curse. you get just smart enough to be unvanquishibly dumb.
01:22 decimation yeah, I guess I can see that. one would be more fustrated with the kid who seems to be able to get it, not the kid who is on the short bus

02:50 mats_cd03 its p huge, they never do things like that with the kernel. drivers maybe
02:50 mats_cd03 vmware is also moving towards support for docker when they were adamant about it for months prior to the switcharoo
02:51 mats_cd03 about avoiding it, that is
02:58 BingoBoingo mats_cd03: So What is docker exactly is it like a FreeBSD Jail a decade late or... Closer to something like Zen?

02:59 mats_cd03 its basically OpenVZ and Solaris
03:00 BingoBoingo mats_cd03: Does Docker have DTrace?
03:00 mats_cd03 Solaris has had Zones for some time
03:00 BingoBoingo Yes, I played with SOlaris zones and dtrace in 2004 on shitty computer lab printer
03:01 BingoBoingo Printer because the computers were reset every day at midnight
03:01 BingoBoingo Printer kept hours closer to my own
03:02 mats_cd03 i don't know if it does, thats a good question
03:02 BingoBoingo Solaris Zones are about as similar to BSD Jails though as Ext4 is to HAMMER@
03:02 BingoBoingo *HAMMER2
03:04 mats_cd03 DTrace does a lot
03:05 mircea_popescu mats_cd03 odd how that works ?
03:05 mircea_popescu ben_vulpes why do you like it again ?
03:05 mats_cd03 SystemTap works at some level
03:09 mats_cd03 mircea_popescu: the wheel being reinvented?
03:09 mircea_popescu mats_cd03 no, sudden adoption of stuff.
03:09 mircea_popescu like, systemv.
03:09 mircea_popescu "o hey guise, now that the bitcoin crowd has headshot'd our openssl holes, please everyone fuck up their init!"
03:10 mats_cd03 thats an interesting perspective.

09:58 Vexual ooh nice, big moneys?
09:59 kakobrekla lol
09:59 Adlai my main purpose in life these days is working on my open source library, my secondary purpose is not to starve. the trick is to juggle the two purposes properly.
10:00 Vexual not starving is an excellnt goal
10:00 Adlai it's a shitty one if all you do while not starving is waste oxygen
10:01 Adlai btw if i haven't spammed it at you yet, i'm working on http://github.com/adlai/scalpl if this is the kind of thing that interests you
10:01 assbot adlai/scalpl GitHub
10:01 Vexual yes i remember this now
10:02 kakobrekla dont get lost among the slaves
10:04 Vexual also don;t aspire to only et unborn sturgeon
10:05 Adlai u w0t
10:05 Vexual belugar caviar
10:05 Vexual it isn't the be all and end all
10:06 Adlai having caviar as table salt is not part of my requirements for "not starve"
10:06 Vexual you might wanna include it as a sometimes food
10:07 Adlai exactly
10:07 kakobrekla hm? you must be talking to my ignore list.
10:08 Adlai Vexual might want to sort that out then :)
10:08 RagnarDanneskjol you got some nice work there Adlai
10:08 RagnarDanneskjol https://github.com/adlai/sykobot - heh
10:08 assbot adlai/sykobot GitHub
10:08 Adlai that is some old shit
10:09 RagnarDanneskjol i se that. who else is using scalpl to yor knowledge?

10:12 Adlai http://github.com/sykopomp/sheeple <- most nicest work i've done. syko and i stopped working on it because we thought nobody would ever actually use it, turns out today several people are using it "professionally"
10:12 assbot sykopomp/sheeple GitHub
10:12 Vexual what does it do?? the readme is a bit spergie
10:13 RagnarDanneskjol hmm cool. kind of weird I'm the only one who's forked scalpl to date... thought it would be a lot moar popular by now
10:13 Adlai RagnarDanneskjol: me, and a friend is planning on using it in a hedge fund sometime soon, and has been running it on a bit of personal money to test the waters until the fund goes live.
10:14 RagnarDanneskjol oh wow. sounds awesome - and scary
10:14 Vexual need a brain?
10:14 Adlai although the most correct answer to your question is "me", since in it's current form it still kinda requires me to manually set it up
10:15 Vexual lol
10:15 RagnarDanneskjol ok
10:15 Adlai so now that you've forked it, what's next? :D
10:15 Vexual ahitty graphix
10:16 Adlai +Vexual | need a brain? « the more the merrier, provided that you're an "adder" and not a "divider" :)
10:16 Vexual give me something thats not and api
10:16 RagnarDanneskjol i reverse engineer code mostly, find out what makes it tick.. thats about the extent of my interest in the coding world. I'm an rf hardware guy
10:16 Adlai enoparse: "and api"
10:17 Vexual lol
10:17 * kakobrekla wonders how long does it take for Adlai to ignore the noise hole.
10:17 Adlai i'm hoping to have scalpl as usable as the average unix utility by the end of the month
10:18 RagnarDanneskjol very nice
10:18 * Vexual concede it'll be immediately after he takes my money
10:18 Adlai ie, you'll still need to rtfm/s and configuration will require editing textual config files
10:18 * Adlai tends to /ignore in his brain, not in his IRC client
10:19 Adlai * | Vexual concede it'll be immediately after he takes my money << the beauty of scalpl's design is that you don't have to give me your money to use it, although you do have to trust the exchange which you choose to use
10:19 Vexual ill give you money anyway, just to be a cunt
10:19 kakobrekla nevertheless the question remains.
10:20 Adlai right now, the answer is "until the guy who's supposed to call me, calls me"
10:21 Adlai RagnarDanneskjol: are you interested in using scalpl once it's at that level?
10:23 kakobrekla hedge fund on kraken?
10:23 Adlai the user configures pretty much everything about how it interprets the market, my goal is for this to essentially be a trading slave which you can teach your algorithms and then sip martinis while it trades away
10:23 * kakobrekla checks if its 1st of april.
10:23 kakobrekla mnope
10:24 Adlai emphasis on "planning"
10:24 RagnarDanneskjol again - I just deconstruct these things for research/amusement purposes.. no plans to 'do anything' with code really. I have a day job that keeps my too busy, any fre time is for ma doggies

10:29 Adlai no. so that's the AUM of all scalpl instances which i have configured myself, but i highly doubt that there are any others.

10:35 Vexual nevertheless all and sundry are happy on their own
10:36 Vexual kraken aint no shit
10:37 Adlai my main reason for using kraken for developement is their minimum order size of 0.01 euro, which means i can risk a lot less capital
10:37 Vexual yeah man, kudos
10:38 Vexual love abounds
10:39 Adlai (the smaller the minimum order relative to your capital, the more steps in your martingale)
10:40 Vexual kraken has a casino now?
10:42 RagnarDanneskjol er no. martingale relates to general probabilistic theory, is used in predictive trading systems, not just dice games derp
10:42 Vexual are yuo in out every pip?
10:43 RagnarDanneskjol probability theory even*
10:43 Adlai "in out every pip"?
10:43 Vexual grunty grunty
10:44 Adlai wrt casinos... the market is just one big decentralized casino
10:45 Vexual yeah well
10:46 Adlai investing is more than "just gambling", but some derivatives are structured in a way which makes them more like a fancy roulette wheel than "investing"

12:48 asciilifeform lol
12:49 ben_vulpes mircea_popescu, mats_cd03: ease of dependency management, resource isolation, cognitive overhead. i'm dumb and have to deal with crazy complex legacy shit that's most expediently put into 'containers for poor and time constrained engineers'.
12:50 ben_vulpes for instance, different versions of the python imaging library for different services.
12:50 ben_vulpes i guess at a high level stupid solution to stupid problems.
12:51 * asciilifeform is reminded of a recent trip to a hardware store, where he saw an entire rack of different kinds of 'duct tape', of nominally greater and greater strengths.
12:51 ben_vulpes related to asciilifeform's "must fit in head" problem

12:54 mats_cd03 there aren't fancy exploits, just more of the same risks as before
12:54 mats_cd03 and roughly as easy to shoot self in head.
12:54 ben_vulpes would you enumerate the risks?
12:55 ben_vulpes just a few years ago i was building wafer hosts - there is much i don't know about websec.
12:55 mats_cd03 LXC has been battle tested for a few years. containers, decades. seccomp is available in the LXC driver, but not in libcontainer. so, the same risks as before -- arbitrary execution of kernel code. leaking to other containers, lack of fine-grained access to devices (in the works, i belieb)
12:55 mats_cd03 mitigation involves layering. SELinux, one docker per vm,
12:55 mats_cd03 i forget the rest.
12:56 ben_vulpes riskspace is foreign code on box, exploits of running processes from outside world?

13:04 ben_vulpes i'm getting the gist.

13:05 assbot Docker security approach encourages privileged containers Issue #6616 docker/docker GitHub
13:06 mats_cd03 i'm still learning how docker works, though, so if i'm wrong here people should chime in and tell me so

14:15 assbot Mastercard Launches Fingerprint-Enabled Credit Card
14:17 bounce because fingerprints are totally better than passwords. much more seekrit.
14:17 * bounce wonders if mastercard will stump up the costs for fingerprint surgery in case of fingerprint-theft, or they'll rather just burn the customer instead
14:18 Apocalyptic that's a relevant question
14:18 asciilifeform this is ancient history:
14:20 asciilifeform one reason why they push fingerprints and similar crap is the 'prima facie' concept
14:20 asciilifeform that is, the chump can once again be presumed guilty of fraud if he dares to contest a charge, just like in the 'bad old days.'
14:21 asciilifeform burden of proof (to impossible degree) will be on the chump, to show that his fingerprint was lifted.
14:22 bounce rather transparent ploy at that, but succeeding
14:24 bounce now, visa and mastercard aren't banks, but they work for banks. which then gives the lie to the premise that banks are safe places for money (or valuables, for that matter) and as such are worthy of the customer's trust
14:26 thestringpuller reminds me of the episode of south park where they frame michael jackson
14:27 chetty didnt the whole fingerprint thing get destroyed recently with iPhone lift?
14:27 asciilifeform chetty: much earlier than that
14:27 asciilifeform the sausage experiment.
14:27 chetty yeah, but that was recent repeat, I guess no one was paying attention
14:28 asciilifeform think of it this way, if fingerprint is your password, you're leaving a 'stickynote' with your password on nearly everything you touch.

14:30 chetty its pretty funny actually, really annoys those folks that expect the fingerprint scanners to work :)
14:31 asciilifeform chetty: the whole purpose of 'biometric' crap is to administratively fix the designated chump as the permanently-designated chump.
14:31 decimation bounce: not so easy to 'check for life'
14:31 bounce fingers to make it unchangeable, technology to make it infallible. perfect combination, no?

14:32 asciilifeform engineers, who (as shown by the 'monolith' gedankenexperiment, search logs) often do not really apprehend how lizard-reich and its subordinate bureaucracies really think.
14:33 asciilifeform the purpose of biometrics is to protect the system against -you-, rather than you against sc4mz0rz.
14:33 chetty they think?
14:34 asciilifeform fish swim?
14:34 bounce engineers do, make, fix, etc. thinking starts maybe once the tech is widely deployed and cannot be put back in the box.
14:35 chetty well to be fair some of them think, but mostly with their bellies and other body parts
14:38 decimation asciilifeform: the 'weapons will not be issued' link is hilarious
14:39 * bounce didn't find much
14:39 asciilifeform my hypothesis re: biometrics is, imho, the only one proposed so far that has explanatory power for the fact that idiotically lame, e.g., fingerprint readers, nevertheless are happily deployed en masse by usg
14:40 asciilifeform they do not care if they actually, in physical reality, work. only that the results are considered prima facie evidence that whatever Officially happened - happened.
14:41 bounce fits with the rest of the evidence about the other systems deployed by parties using this
14:41 asciilifeform this is why you see fp readers at usg facilities, in consumer finance, iPnohes, etc.
14:42 decimation asciilifeform: there's an even deeper truth there - the reality is that usg doesn't have the 'People' needed to determine actual truth
14:42 decimation so all they can do is make a cardboard cutout robot of a 'person'
14:42 bounce corollary: since parties deploying this are out to get you, not help you, they should be avoided. or neutralised.
14:42 asciilifeform in as far as the crown goes, 'actual truth' is a matter between you and your gods
14:43 bounce feh. they have the people. they're just wasting resources on big large expensive machines that go 'ping'. they /could/ be hiring people for that money, but they're not.
14:43 decimation true, but at least in the early days the king's men would go out and hear cases, and judge them as they saw fit
14:44 bounce to the point of buying massive amounts of machinery then _leaving much of it crated in storage_
14:44 decimation the 'king's justice' has been watered down to "present your id card"
14:44 decimation bounce: they employ plenty of warm bodies, very few people
14:44 bounce on a somewhat lighter note, compare "state of the art" datacentres with biometric access measures.
14:45 asciilifeform thing is, modern 'rights states' (see some of mircea_popescu's pieces) create a problem - various 'rights' are Officially proclaimed, that, were they actually exercised en masse, would make the entire scamatron collapse overnight.
14:45 decimation bounce: that's glitz that's designed to sell space
14:45 asciilifeform 'unprincipled exceptions' (no you don't get to cross the street if the Fuhrer is within 1km) only go so far.
14:46 asciilifeform here's a little mindfuck, for those still awake:
14:46 * bounce already had the hunch that we'd be better off with a lot less "rights", but with the ones we do have, properly observed.
14:46 decimation asciilifeform: and when the masses try to call the government to deliver on their promises (revolutionary France) everything collapses
14:47 asciilifeform there were studies which appear to show that fingeprints are not, in fact, as unique as popularly believed
14:48 decimation obligatory: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brandon_Mayfield
14:48 assbot Brandon Mayfield - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
14:48 * bounce thinks the amount of "security" around POTUS is both its own show and another sign that el presidente is not in fact in control of the government faculties
14:48 asciilifeform and actual trials where this fact was brought in - and always the crown's side would proclaim - 'this is not a fact because simply inconceivable, law and order would collapse.'

14:48 asciilifeform what do you think.
14:49 mats_cd03 list a few of those trials?
14:49 * asciilifeform digs
14:49 decimation bounce: the purpose of the security around the president is so the bureaucrats who really run usg can demonstrate their enthusiasm for the current symbol-in-chief
14:49 asciilifeform take the story with a grain of salt, perhaps i hallucinated it. if anyone can find the documents in question, post here.
14:49 mats_cd03 on the subject of trials, my research is going swimmingly. roughly 20% finished.
14:49 bounce noteworthy is that in the 100+ years fingerprinting has been in use, there's been something like one limited study (30k fingerprints or so), and that's it.

14:51 bounce all good and well to want to avoid societal collapse, but to pretend biology would willingly accomodate you there is maybe a bit much. the judge's answer thus is a good measure of the quality of the judicial branch
14:52 asciilifeform what judge, in what 20th c. totalitarian state tendril (which is 100% of planet earth as we speak) would dare disagree?
14:53 decimation fingerprints are part of the general 'forensics' pseudoscience that is used as an aid in reducing the number of thinking people required to throw a chump in the gulag
14:53 bounce too few, but I won't wager it'll be zero
14:53 chetty well as soon as there is fingerprint evidence on someone they want to get off
14:53 asciilifeform nah then they magick it away.
14:53 asciilifeform or produce same, for a scapegoat.
14:54 decimation asciilifeform: after all, only experts can make the right 'match'
14:54 bounce fingerprints work reasonably well as criminal corrobating evidence. as soon as that gets forgotten that the matching is taken as a binary guilty decision, then we have guaranteed miscarriages of justice all over
14:55 asciilifeform and not simply a device for fooling jury (not all jurisdictions have jury trials) but for eliciting confession through intimidation (as 'lie detector' was once used for)
14:55 decimation 'lie detector' is still used for this purpose against usg employees
14:55 bounce or, as the case may be, fraud with cards and such
14:55 bounce oh yes, the fbi is still the biggest lie detector fanclub, possibly after scientology
14:56 decimation which means of course that everyone who works for the fbi is a 'believer'
14:56 asciilifeform not necessarily, just willing to undergo the sacrament.
14:56 asciilifeform (see mp's piece on 'methodism')
14:56 chetty jajajaja sacrament, good way of putting it
14:57 bounce to climb up you may have to be a believer
14:57 asciilifeform the 'method' idea is possibly lifted from the jewish tradition (where you are not, in fact, asked to believe in god, but to simply carry out the program, as i understand.)
14:58 decimation asciilifeform: yeah but the very least the ses brass and their 'internal affairs' folks are believers (or at least unwilling to pretend otherwise)
14:58 asciilifeform bounce: it is not really necessary to believe in anything to 'climb up.' in fact, it would seriously get in the way.

15:02 decimation I suspect it helps reinforce the 'us vs. them' thing
15:02 asciilifeform and to the degree that there is a function, it is to select for 'cold psychopath' (or whatever the fashionable term for the beast is.)

17:28 PinkPosixPXE Here's a decent thread that provides some of the cliff notes, and main points (based on some of the viewer's/reader's interpretation) : https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8478427
17:28 assbot Making sure crypto remains insecure [pdf] | Hacker News
17:28 asciilifeform blocksign << aha let's have a 'keybase' variant of 'deedbot.' haha.
17:29 mircea_popescu PinkPosixPXE could it not be pdf ?
17:30 mircea_popescu ah i guess you meant the comments huh.
17:30 PinkPosixPXE I've searched far and wide, only a pdf version of his slides, I imagine they were just markers for him. But the commentary in the thread, specifically the first user, bullet points some of the main topics.
17:30 PinkPosixPXE Best I could find, no video/recorded broadcast on the H2HC site or anywhere for that matter. :/
17:31 mircea_popescu ben_vulpes: how are you to fight the usg thusly? << clearly, one who "does not understand how the world works", the highest honor said usg can bestow upon people.

17:40 asciilifeform ?
17:40 asciilifeform which site
17:40 undata asciilifeform: loper.os.org
17:40 asciilifeform ah yes, mine.
17:41 undata bah, close enough on the domain
17:41 mircea_popescu o look, asciilifeform named his site after his intended os. like that temple guy!
17:41 asciilifeform that was the original subject, yes
17:41 asciilifeform and yes, it was actually intended to be an os running on off-the-shelf x86-64 hardware.
17:42 * asciilifeform assumed that everyone who has seen his site, knew this.
17:42 mircea_popescu never assume!
17:43 BingoBoingo Breaking Opterons do do things they were never intended for
17:43 undata asciilifeform: are you familiar with r9k?
17:43 undata I've seen that used elsewhere to improve chat-quality
17:43 asciilifeform ?
17:43 undata your post makes me think about paying for "infractions" rather than per message
17:44 undata asciilifeform: it's an IRC bot which punishes users for saying sentences that have been said before with exponentially increasing ban duration
17:44 undata you could pay to be un-banned with ever increasing cost
17:44 asciilifeform undata: not the point
17:44 undata asciilifeform: then what is?
17:45 mircea_popescu <undata> asciilifeform: it's an IRC bot which punishes users for saying sentences that have been said before with exponentially increasing ban duration << if only this worked.
17:49 mircea_popescu assbot: Trolls To Get Up To Two Years In Prison Under New Laws, Chris Grayling Announces <<< aaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahaha
17:49 mircea_popescu it has about 0 chances of happening, but it'd be pretty cool if it did lmao
17:51 asciilifeform !s promise protocol
17:51 assbot 3 results for 'promise protocol' : http://search.bitcoin-assets.com/?q=promise+protocol
17:52 asciilifeform undata: point of gedankenexperiment was to propose a telegraph which is exactly as strong as bitcoin in every technical aspect.
17:52 bounce from the country that brought us fearsome defamation laws, two kinds of online porn blocking, jail penalties on refusing to hand over your passwords, and, oh hey, anti-social behaviour orders... sure it'll happen, and it'll get used too.
17:52 asciilifeform that is, will operate precisely as intended while the latter does.
17:54 asciilifeform undata: the idea, as described on my site, is deadly-simple - no need for server, you 'speak' by sending btc to an address. others 'hear' by seeing what was sent. if the channel owner (owner of privkey to address) decides that you are persona non grata, you never see your coin again. otherwise, it is sent back after a while.
17:54 undata asciilifeform: ah yes, I was merely focusing on the social behavior
17:54 undata I get it
17:55 asciilifeform i am entirely uninterested in any system, however superficially similar, which isn't built on top of actual bitcoin blockchain.
17:55 assbot [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 21150 @ 0.00073651 = 15.5772 BTC [-] {2}
17:55 undata asciilifeform: then you have a positive opinion of using the blockchain for information storage?
17:55 asciilifeform the idea was specifically to show that existing btc protocol is isomorphic to a 'proper chat'
17:55 undata I've heard people gripe about doing that
17:56 asciilifeform bitcoin should be used for whatever is physically possible.
17:56 asciilifeform if it breaks, it was broken from birth
17:56 asciilifeform as in all software.

18:36 ThickAsThieves internets internets everywhere and not a drop to drink
18:36 mircea_popescu bounce: rather transparent ploy at that, but succeeding << not succeeding in any sense
18:37 mircea_popescu one of the numerous categorical things bitcoin is doing is making such ploys impossible. pre bitcoin, they could have tried to squeeze the market.
18:37 mircea_popescu now, they'd just make us richer.
18:39 mircea_popescu bounce: engineers do, make, fix, etc. thinking starts maybe once the tech is widely deployed and cannot be put back in the box. <<< yeah, it's not the job of the engineer to think.
18:41 mircea_popescu *: bounce thinks the amount of "security" around POTUS is both its own show and another sign that el presidente is not in fact in control of the government faculties <<< doh.
18:43 mircea_popescu bounce: all good and well to want to avoid societal collapse, but to pretend biology would willingly accomodate you there is maybe a bit much. the judge's answer thus is a good measure of the quality of the judicial branch << you have to understand that pious fraud was a lot more fashionable in 1914 than it is today
18:43 mircea_popescu part of the reason is post structuralism and deconstructivism. the other part is the internet.
18:44 mircea_popescu in any case, most of the stuff justice relies on to function is actually broken and couldn't stand scrutiny. ironically, the older it is, the more apt it is regarded by the amply conservative mechanism of justice ; yet the more likely to be flawed irretrievavbly
18:44 mircea_popescu as anything made by men who are not cool enough to live with cocksucking sluts is suspect.
18:45 mircea_popescu and so... fingerprints ? lol. but they're being replaced with "dna proof". which IS more selective,
18:45 mircea_popescu but it is much less probative, because so easy to contaminate.
18:45 mircea_popescu all that's needed to put someone at a crime scene today is an old hairbrush, or a worn shirt, or anything.
18:47 mircea_popescu asciilifeform: the 'method' idea is possibly lifted from the jewish tradition (where you are not, in fact, asked to believe in god, but to simply carry out the program, as i understand.) << errything's lifted from judaism.
18:52 PinkPosixPXE My dog only gets to IRC on days of the month that are prime.
18:54 xanthyos the jews seem to be more interested in tradition and ritual than ethics
18:54 xanthyos the chabads anyway
18:54 mircea_popescu what's ethics anyway.
18:54 mircea_popescu PinkPosixPXE so is that you in the pic, actually ?
18:55 xanthyos the "law" of torah
18:55 mircea_popescu unclear wtf it means tho.
18:56 PinkPosixPXE No, it's a girl I captured in a parking lot, and stuffed in my basement...

19:40 undata or if not, I'm asking.
19:41 mats_cd03 separate kernel instances
19:41 mircea_popescu no, that was the question.
19:42 undata mircea_popescu: you get that with host/vm, why docker?
19:42 undata * mats_cd03 ^
19:43 undata I like docker for managing system state; I'm asking what the security value add is above just using the VM directly.
19:43 mircea_popescu even better for "managing system state" would be making the system simpler.
19:44 mats_cd03 the VM is for protecting you from docker, nto the other way around
19:44 mircea_popescu so basically it's crud.
19:44 mats_cd03 its not known to not be crud.
19:44 mats_cd03 hasn't existed for long enough.
19:44 undata mircea_popescu: docker does run the risk of merely snapshotting the wad of mess and saying "ok, this wad worked, kind of" rather than actually understanding system state
19:44 mircea_popescu no, i odn't mean its actual composition. i mean its design.
19:44 mircea_popescu it comes from the cloacal opening of an intestine.
19:45 mircea_popescu undata how would a script "understand the system state" once you actually need it to do so ? (ie, you no longer do)

20:42 BingoBoingo Seems to be

20:43 jborkl One bankrupted the other , ala week and bitfunder
20:43 BingoBoingo Oh
20:43 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: in light of what i previously explained about botnets, it is difficult to calculate the actual value of a particular 0day.
20:43 jborkl Ohh, no wonder
20:44 asciilifeform rather like trying to come up with value for stolen painting.
20:44 asciilifeform is it - what owner paid? what the 'fence' will get, on the blackmarket? what the fence will pay you?
20:45 jborkl I guess moolah had a codind error that allowed you withdraw double what you deposited
20:45 jborkl Coding
20:45 asciilifeform very few people are equipped to safely monetize an 0day in person.
20:45 mats_cd03 b-but, he's willing to sign an address with 1000btc in it

20:48 ninjashogun http://pastebin.com/BjRNZBk1
20:48 assbot <fivezerotwo> hello <ninjashogun> hi <fivezerotwo> are you looking for investm - Pastebin.com
20:48 ninjashogun see bottom 3 lines
20:49 ninjashogun I just notice htat he's also being discussed in channel here now. (Someone pointed this out to me.) At first I assumed MP to have paid for this out of some weird strategy (since I came to MP with a small project recently, maybe he wanted to know if I still needed small amounts of money, etc.) But I thought you guys should see it.
20:49 jurov so i came to the systemd stuff in the lawgs .. and
20:49 jurov ;;isup lists.debian.org
20:49 gribble lists.debian.org is down
20:49 jurov ^^^
20:49 mats_cd03 i appreciate the contribution to drama ninjashogun
20:49 mats_cd03 lol dude operates a mixer.
20:50 ninjashogun I was just referring to the bottom lines. <fivezerotwo> im just trolling you dude <fivezerotwo> we're being paid to troll you (and then he disconnected)
20:50 ninjashogun Anyway it's not how anyone does business. Please don't do this.
20:51 BingoBoingo Well he's DOS'ing stuff from in here so he's probably getting paid by someone from elsewhere
20:52 ninjashogun nobody would pay anyone to troll me from anywhere except here :)
20:52 ninjashogun anyway this is what I wrote MP on the subject - http://pastebin.com/VHQ4XyzA (via PM just now)
20:52 assbot <ninjashogun> If you have anyhting to do with this (see bottom of conversatoin) - Pastebin.com
20:52 ninjashogun Do you guys know what his other WoT rating was that he referred to?
20:52 ninjashogun I mean other WoT nick?
20:52 mats_cd03 man, if hes being paid to troll, 10USD is not nearly enough for a ddos
20:53 ninjashogun (for the record, I just have this one.)
20:53 jurov no, it's nobody from here. as i wrote just above, indices lead to lennart poettering
20:53 undata "and a ninja like me." haaa
20:53 asciilifeform jurov: !?
20:53 jurov it's revenge for us bashing the systemd
20:53 ninjashogun oh I forgot I wrote that lol but yeah.

20:53 ninjashogun anyway carry on guys.

21:46 mircea_popescu What if the terrorists hear about fast secure crypto? Yikes! Similar to constant-time story. Don’t standardize good crypto. Discourage use of good crypto. If the good crypto persists, try to bury it behind a huge menu of bad options. Advertise “cryptographic agility”; actually cryptographic fragility. Pretend that this “agility” justifies using breakable crypto.
21:46 mircea_popescu heh.
21:46 mircea_popescu here's the scoop : if the usg does not standardize good crypto, mp WILL. and the result wil be that mp's standards will drive the nist out of the market.
21:46 asciilifeform i still can't fathom why they're not having their muppets push the 'all this derp is because they really broke rsa in the '90s' angle.

22:03 diametric asciilifeform: docker's purpose isn't security per se. an escape can be irrelevant. if anything its a nice system for compartmentalizing your system and preventing the pollution of your filesystem with random libraries needed by a single application.
22:03 mircea_popescu seems kinda clear. who's going to spend a coupla btc to get it back out of the hole ?
22:03 asciilifeform diametric: aha i recall, a la bsd jail, yes.
22:03 diametric asciilifeform: now if you're relying on docker to be a jail for the purposes of security, than that alone isn't ideal.
22:03 mike_c ok. so i guess that was mpif's 2m atc getting out
22:03 asciilifeform so more of a parrot cage than a jail for man.
22:03 diametric its like a jail + management system on top of it
22:04 diametric what you end up with is an image you can use on any linux running docker, be it ubuntu, gentoo, arch or lfs.
22:04 kakobrekla <mike_c> ok. so i guess that was mpif's 2m atc getting out < my thought was its the 60th guy
