12:16 ben_vulpes clear, chilly
12:16 ben_vulpes should surprise everyone with some rain in the afternoon
12:16 ben_vulpes the normal routine
12:16 mircea_popescu aha
12:16 ben_vulpes and ba?
12:17 ben_vulpes <davout> [08:21] so TIL that testnet doesn't behave like main net and will allow blocks of diff 1 to be mined whenever it "has been too long" between two blocks << this testnet stuff is bullhockey
12:17 ben_vulpes just make an isolated network and watch it go
12:18 ben_vulpes diddle as desired
12:18 davout ben_vulpes: ideally configure an arbitrary genesis block in config file
12:19 ben_vulpes remind me of why the genesis block matters please?
12:20 ben_vulpes or is this the "rip out all magic constants" thread again
12:20 davout ben_vulpes: if you want a different testnet you just need a different genesis block and a couple ports of your liking
12:20 ben_vulpes no, i don't want a different testnet
12:20 davout well, i do
12:21 ben_vulpes testnet has diverged so far from mainnet that i don't even really understand the point of it anymore
12:21 davout so random fucktards can't point their asics at it preventing me from mining with a cpu
12:21 davout ben_vulpes: define "diverged"
12:21 ben_vulpes well enlighten my sorely sleep deprived ass - what's the use case for testnet?
12:22 davout paymium has a staging environment, and a sandbox environment, both run against testnet
12:22 davout which makes testing easier on a few accounts
12:22 ben_vulpes "diverged" << the whole block diff=1 thing, f.ex.
12:23 davout yea, that's absolutely retarded
12:23 davout if you want some "test thing" make it behave like "real thing"
12:23 ben_vulpes mas o menos that it's not actually a proxy for bitcoin anymore
12:23 ben_vulpes there are odd transaction relay rules etc i think
12:23 davout ugh, didn't know about that
12:24 davout if you have a configurable genesis block it removes the need for testnet entirely
12:24 ben_vulpes yeah there's a mess of branches throughout the codebase that do different things based on "if testnet"
12:24 ben_vulpes no dude but listen
12:24 ben_vulpes if you set your staging and sandboxen up with bitcoinds that only talk to other bitcoinds you control that have never seen the mainchain
12:24 davout testing is for faggots amirite
12:24 ben_vulpes you've just made your own testnet that's...bitcoin.
12:25 davout yep
12:25 davout except i want my customers and partners to use the sandbox for their integrations
12:25 mircea_popescu <ben_vulpes> testnet has diverged so far from mainnet that i don't even really understand the point of it anymore << exactly. which is what he was saying.
12:25 ben_vulpes ooh sticky
12:26 davout the idea is that they can conveniently request coins from the testnet faucet, or mine them, and use them as play money
12:26 ben_vulpes davout: your integrators should be savvy enough to boot into your private testnet.
12:26 ben_vulpes mine their own coins.
12:27 mircea_popescu but it would be a private main net
12:27 mircea_popescu NOT testnet.
12:27 ben_vulpes ding ding ding
12:27 davout and it also has the added advantage that i don't have to do withdrawals on staging/sandbox
12:27 mircea_popescu everyone aspiring to mpexness.
12:27 davout ben_vulpes: i would need a faucet also

16:24 danielpbarron The creator of this list claims that he is motivated by the altruistic goal of pressuring Bitlove (the creators of Fetlife) into implementing security fixes to prevent these sort of attacks happening in the future. Unfortunately, the so-called "meat" advertised by the list is comprised exclusively of female-identifying members under the age of 30.
16:25 danielpbarron The information has been curated for and advertised to an audience of predominantly cis male sexual predators, that now have a well-laid out database of disproportionately vulnerable and inexperienced potential victims who may be unlikely to expose their alternative lifestyle by going to the police or perusing other means of defense.

18:36 williamdunne Why do people not try to secure data they want to remain private?!
18:37 jurov that's not a part of consumer expectation
18:37 jurov at least not at first
18:39 williamdunne Hmm.
18:39 williamdunne "No this is private data"
18:39 williamdunne "How so?"
18:40 williamdunne "Because I want it to be private"
18:40 williamdunne (While leaving it on bench outside their house)
18:40 jurov but they were private. till bad mircea made it available to predators.
18:41 williamdunne If anything, I would say mircea raped them
18:41 williamdunne When you think about it, that is really a logical comparison
18:41 williamdunne (/s)
18:44 jurov more like a revelation they have had aids (hope my tense is correct)
18:44 williamdunne I believe that would be "they have aids"

18:45 jurov ah. i meant, it must have been (lol) happening for some time

20:10 mircea_popescu this is quite universal btw, the "copyright infringement" trolls do itall the time. they get a list of ips, then sue "john does" and ask the isps to reveal the identities

23:15 trinque mats | anyone have an idea how to google strings of symbols? escaping doesn't seem to work << http://symbolhound.com

23:16 mats trinque: thanks
23:17 * ascii_bolivia last slept around 40 hrs ago
23:17 mircea_popescu i hear if you sleep in bolivia your ass loosens
23:18 ascii_bolivia esp at vvi
23:18 ascii_bolivia i can feel its wavefunction wobble already
23:18 ascii_bolivia just from sitting here
23:19 ascii_bolivia ratty lunch counter, doesn't serve anything, and looks like hasn't in a decade or two - but little cakes in the fridge. probably same vintage
23:20 * ascii_bolivia clarified that he ate a thing that was -not- this. at least not detectably.
23:21 mircea_popescu delectably ?
23:21 ascii_bolivia not quite.
23:21 mircea_popescu hey, im stuffing myself with black forest and cognac over here, can't say i don't feel for you.
23:21 ascii_bolivia l0l
23:21 ascii_bolivia that thing tasted -precisely- as folks reading this would expect such a dish to taste.
23:23 mircea_popescu check your privifridge.
23:23 ascii_bolivia a .ar flunkie strolled in, collected receipt for the 'pay to come here' thing
23:23 ascii_bolivia and signature. then walked off
23:24 ascii_bolivia who's already partying? ben_vulpes ?
23:24 mircea_popescu you know between here and there it's nothing but inhospitable rocky crags populated by gay stone-age natives ?
↖
23:24 ascii_bolivia mircea_popescu: this was abundantly obvious to unarmed eye from airplane window
23:24 ascii_bolivia bolivia looks quite like north kr, for instance
23:24 mircea_popescu but hey, at least they've got no soldering irons naimean ?
23:25 mircea_popescu it is exactly nr, if the escaped chicks i met are to be believed.
23:25 mircea_popescu economy crashed and burned, people sorta-halfassed rebelled, military steamrolled them and that "took care of it"
23:25 mircea_popescu no everyone's waiting "for things to improve". you know, like things do.
23:25 mircea_popescu by themselves.
23:26 ascii_bolivia i know a fella from there in meatspace. goes back, forth.
23:26 mircea_popescu prolly for the cheap cunt.
23:27 mircea_popescu the inescapable advantage of all shitholes - that at least the women don't actually have the time&leisure to be annoying.
23:32 lobbes !up ascii-bolivia
23:32 mircea_popescu alf forgot to pedal
23:33 ascii-bolivia aha
23:33 ascii-bolivia approximately
23:34 ascii-bolivia mircea_popescu: re: the rebecca hiles article << mindblowing showcase of 'usa is world' thing
23:34 mircea_popescu how so ?
23:35 ascii-bolivia 'If he were posting anything that wasn’t publicly viewable on the site then he could be brought in on other charges... The court would order him to take it down... '
23:35 ascii-bolivia do these folks not get spam ?
23:36 mircea_popescu ah. well he principally comes off as dumber than a box of dumb bells because he starts from what he wants the facts to say and then forces some sort of factoids into that.
23:36 mircea_popescu like that joke about the policemen.
23:37 mircea_popescu holy shit. apparently online en dictionaries have lost a meaning of sufficient.
23:37 mircea_popescu to be sufficient is to be ignorant and disinterested in the matter, yo!
23:37 mats https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQ9FCRTFezY&t=29s one of my favorite Generation Kill scenes
23:37 assbot Generation Kill - "The sand was very evil" - YouTube ... ( http://bit.ly/1H9IOOm )
23:41 ascii-bolivia i still can't figure out if these astonishing specimens actually -believe- ... this - or merely pretend
23:42 mircea_popescu mats dude those things look vulnerable as all shit.
23:42 mircea_popescu seriously, this is how it works ? mounted repeating tinycannon on an open truck chassis ?
23:43 ascii-bolivia what they believe - or pretend to - if one were to dignify it with a reduction to logical terms which make sense to a normal person, is: that usg is sorta like a searchlight, that cannot cover the whole universe simultaneously but can certainly be pointed at miscreants as need be, when their turn comes
23:43 mircea_popescu what happens if someone throws them a frag ?
23:43 mats they are vulnerable
23:43 mircea_popescu so how do they work ?
23:44 ascii-bolivia mircea_popescu: 'what happens if' was probably omitted from consideration because 'orc could never get close enough'
23:44 mats lotta dudes died taking and holding baghdad and fallujah
23:44 ascii-bolivia just as the $maxint single-shot chemical laser that fits in most of a 'boeing' is vulnerable to nothing more than frag
23:44 mircea_popescu so basically what is this stupid shit, "we never heard of petain" ?
23:44 mircea_popescu "we can conquer any position but we need someone to hold our wiener if we take a leak" ?
23:45 mats yeah. it was early and us mil hadn't had to take and hold a city in some time
23:46 mircea_popescu sucks.
23:46 mats no MRAPs for iraq invasion
23:46 williamdunne Is Mike_C still working on the WoT site implemenation?
23:46 williamdunne implementation
23:48 ascii-bolivia wtf; there is a -coin operated pNohe charger here-.
23:48 ascii-bolivia drop coin and... what? stand next to it for an hour ?
23:48 ascii-bolivia am i just think or what
23:49 ascii-bolivia *thick
23:49 * ascii-bolivia can feel his brain coming out of nose, ears
23:50 mircea_popescu you had too much ?
23:50 ascii-bolivia not enough
23:50 mircea_popescu mats http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/10/1st_MaxxPros_in_Iraq.jpg << but... these have no weaponry ?!
23:50 assbot ... ( http://bit.ly/1CMMVLh )
23:51 mircea_popescu the TAB-77 actually looks like it's 30 years ahead of those things.
23:51 mircea_popescu and it was made 30 years ago
23:51 mats well the mrap is more for counter ied operations
23:52 assbot [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 10500 @ 0.00028804 = 3.0244 BTC [-]
23:52 mats sappers tend to ride those and huskies while doing route clearance
23:52 mircea_popescu i can't escape this feeling that us materiel is broken.
23:52 mats http://c-s-i.com/vehicles/husky-mk-iii/
23:52 assbot CSI » Husky MK III Vehicle Mounted Mine Detector ... ( http://bit.ly/1CMNl4m )
23:52 mircea_popescu maybe it's because i'm ignorant, which... i haven't been following much
23:53 mircea_popescu mats soo... the converted debeere plow ?!
23:53 mats yeah. add some jamming and sensing equipment.
23:54 mircea_popescu why not just add six inches of composite armor sandwiched between steel plate and tracks ?
23:55 mats because insurgents change up the targeting
23:55 mircea_popescu what the fuck are they going to do ?
23:56 mats e.g. piling on explosives next to highway barriers to direct blast against the side of the vehicle
23:56 mats and use command det instead
23:56 mike_c williamdunne: yes.
23:56 mircea_popescu you can actually make vehicle so tough that no blast can do anything but move it
23:56 mike_c pop by c3 for a demo. or wait til next week.
23:57 mircea_popescu and at 10-20 tons... they'll just blow out the barrier instead
23:57 mats they have ru materiel
23:57 mircea_popescu yea, but 80s
23:57 mircea_popescu !up would-liquify
23:57 mats and just cook the dudes inside with a penetrative round
23:57 would-liquify will liquify!
23:58 mircea_popescu (the sikriti io kept waiting for the us to open up - all the upset @ russia is over the rape they're delivering to us army via proxy in mid east)
23:58 mats which is what the netting is for
23:58 mircea_popescu would-liquify not really. people routinely survive 6g. calculate the blast that will accelerate a 10 ton apv at 6g
23:58 would-liquify eh, nets just resulted in tandem warheads
23:58 would-liquify mircea_popescu: it isn't a g thing
23:58 would-liquify but shockwave damage
23:58 would-liquify (vs overpressure. separate animals)
23:58 mats generally in an attempt to catch the round and cause premature explosion
23:58 mircea_popescu wave doesn't get inside.
23:59 would-liquify mircea_popescu: sure it does. visit the drooling patients.
23:59 would-liquify it not only gets inside,
23:59 mircea_popescu i meant inside the vehicle.
23:59 would-liquify but skullcase acts as a waveguide for it
23:59 would-liquify i spoke with a fella who had a very interesting, and - as far as i could surmise, accurate - machine model for it
