00:00 mircea_popescu asciilifeform the latter. the former only exists in imagination.
00:00 trinque meanwhile looting it
00:00 asciilifeform trinque: this is likely to be repeated, and next on the chopping block is probably 'coinbase'
00:00 asciilifeform the new gox
00:00 mircea_popescu there is not enough bakshees to pass up the chain, because bitcoin is not fiat. they need > 9k% to be satisfied.
00:00 trinque oh, certainly.
00:00 mircea_popescu asciilifeform coinbase is definitely on the chopping block.
00:00 mircea_popescu teh republic never liked it.
00:00 asciilifeform meant, that it'll be flushed by usg
00:01 asciilifeform rather than nailed in the wild
00:01 mircea_popescu you generally overtate the efficacity of the derp.
00:01 asciilifeform from outside of the walls it'll look quite like a 'goxing' yes.
00:01 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: the one thing they know how to do is arson
00:01 asciilifeform in all the various senses of the word
00:01 mircea_popescu but think of it this way : never, in the history of tyhe world, did ~they~ ever destroy anything.
00:02 mircea_popescu if they can, they'll just fgill it with straw and keep pretending.
00:02 asciilifeform yes, it's the flames that destroy, not the boy with the matches
00:02 mircea_popescu mtgox's fall took specific, directed pushing
00:02 mircea_popescu and they tried tooth and nail to keep on.
00:02 mircea_popescu so did everything else, so does everything else.
00:02 mircea_popescu the woman that is the state yields eventually, once squeezed enough. not before.
00:02 asciilifeform one could even argue that gox is not dead, but rather passed the torch to coinbase/bitstamp
00:03 asciilifeform in the same way as ibm passed it to microshit
00:03 asciilifeform and microshit is now passing it to google et al
00:04 asciilifeform the unmistakeable attributes of 'goxitude' - 'kyc/aml' crapolade, mysterious freezes/'questionings'/account dissolutions/'verifications' - carry on
00:04 assbot [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 127600 @ 0.00033284 = 42.4704 BTC [-] {2}
00:05 asciilifeform as do the basic mechanics of a goxatron - encouragement of off-chain payments via 'codes' rather than proper btc, goading users to keep coin in -exchange's- wallet, etc.
00:06 mircea_popescu yes yes. in any case, mtgox ended exactly the way faux gpg, or system d, or gavincoin, or the sec or the fbi are gonna end
00:06 mircea_popescu we're going to charge particular ineptitude, and employ ridicule
00:06 mircea_popescu they're going to spin and deny and pretend nothing happened.
00:07 mircea_popescu by the book.
00:07 mircea_popescu an' with that, i bid you all something or the other!
00:08 decimation here's how to 'out-scam' the printing press: http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/philg/2015/06/01/book-review-the-redistribution-recession/ < "In other words we?re trending toward a society where about half of the working-age adults will kill themselves with 60-80-hour weeks while the other half will relax on the sofa."
00:08 assbot Philip Greenspun's Weblog » Book Review: The Redistribution Recession ... ( http://bit.ly/1MrNSyK )
00:10 asciilifeform decimation: l0l, 'trending toward'
00:10 decimation heh yeah
00:10 asciilifeform i suppose, because the famous '47%' isn't quite half
00:11 asciilifeform the key unwritten truth here is that virtually all employed folks in usa are 'on welfare'
00:12 decimation ^ yes, this is true, and most of their welfare comes in 'tax expendatures'
00:12 asciilifeform because, as described very clearly by tlp (that piece cached on mircea_popescu's www) - they either carry out work directly for usg organs (official or otherwise, e.g., microshit) or perform services for the former
00:13 decimation god forbid that we give up the health care tax break or mortgage interest tax break
00:13 asciilifeform e.g., cook in a restaurant frequented by builders who install glass in office towers paid for by bezzlatron
00:13 decimation asciilifeform: yes indeed, nobody in the us is more than two or three degrees from usg
00:14 decimation asciilifeform: or your business is frequented by those who get checks from the treasury for being poor or whatever

I'm not saying this is a good thing, or a desirable thing, I am simply stating a fact.

01:10 danielpbarron !up shmadz
01:12 shmadz thank you, I'm trying to figure a way to do gpg on android platform. is this possible?
01:13 danielpbarron possible but not recommended
01:13 shmadz for security, right?
01:13 danielpbarron keybase is a way, but you're probably better off getting a real computer first
01:17 shmadz my "real computer" is not with me always. or even often. I was hoping to figure a way to do secure android?
01:18 trinque shmadz: no pill is going to secure android on a cellphone
01:20 danielpbarron you can have "secure cellphone" (just for voice) if you run irc on a computer that doesn't turn off, and connect to that with your cell phone

01:21 assbot 4 results for 'specificity of the diddling' : http://s.b-a.link/?q=specificity+of+the+diddling
01:22 trinque danielpbarron: yeah I use a similar setup
01:22 trinque shmadz: never trust a phone with anything you can't afford to lose
01:22 danielpbarron worst someone can do with compromised irc box is talk as me for as long as i don't notice
01:22 danielpbarron whereas under gribble, the worst they could do was change my key to their key
01:23 shmadz ok, so there is no known solution for secure, pocket sized, computer?
01:23 trinque shmadz: to the logs with you!
01:23 danielpbarron depends.. how pig are your pockets?
01:24 trinque shmadz: define secure
01:24 trinque important to define terms
01:25 danielpbarron you can read the log securely from your phone, although even this is much more enjoyable on a real computer
01:25 shmadz right, I want a solution that is roughly the same size as Samsung note, and runs native Linux, or some secure version of android, if that even exists
01:26 trinque shmadz: again, you need to define secure
01:26 trinque reason being, should you specifically define it, you may find there is no existing device that meets the spec
01:26 trinque or otherwise, it's important to note which actions can and cannot be securely taken on a phone
01:26 trinque which is to say, if you wouldn't do it outside the police station, don't do it on a phone either
01:26 trinque should be obvious
01:27 trinque if you want a phone which does not track your every step, you will not find it
01:27 trinque nor one that respects the privacy of the data you store on it
01:27 trinque so on
01:28 danielpbarron shmadz, if you find yourself in the situation where you need to gpg on the go, you are finding yourself in the wrong situations
01:28 trinque well put
01:29 shmadz thank you, not the answer I'm looking for, but this makes me think there is an opportunity to make the device I want. why is there not secure Linux that can run on a phone-like device?
01:29 trinque man, I dunno that there's a secure linux either
01:29 trinque it's not a 1 or 0 thing
01:29 trinque depends on who the adversary is
01:29 danielpbarron reminds me of the failed key signing party at the last porc fest -- the one after which nobody ended up getting their key signed because all the time was taken setting up a temporary key server when all we had to do was trade fingerprints and sign it later back at home
01:35 shmadz ok, thanks for your help, and thanks for the !up, I think I'm gonna try a remote server to manage the keys, and just remote in from the phone? I don't see any secure solution to my problem atm
01:36 danielpbarron the keys don't need to be on the remote server
01:36 danielpbarron another computer can and should be used to sign and decrypt, and this computer should not be connected to any networks
01:38 shmadz ok, just like offline signing bitcoin transactions? so you use USB to transfer? or you do it by hand? Or what?
01:39 danielpbarron some use a qr code scanner

01:43 danielpbarron i turn off autocorrect; it drove me crazy
01:45 shmadz yeah, this is a work phone, which is even less secure, so I have to type on it all the time, which probably means everything I
01:45 shmadz type is being tracked
01:46 trinque everything you everything is being tracked; happy 2015, lol

01:57 asciilifeform it is guaranteed to be a factor in all moduli matching the 'magic 98' pattern

01:57 assbot dpaste: 1TNXJDZ: fffooo ... ( http://bit.ly/1eSCcKd )
01:57 asciilifeform you can prove this fact
01:57 asciilifeform but i am leaving it as an exercise
01:58 asciilifeform (hint: 4294967297 == 2^32 + 1)
01:59 asciilifeform (Apocalyptic may have posted the proof somewhere in the logs already. i can't recall.)
02:00 asciilifeform i will note that -not all- phuctored moduli to date are in 'magic98', nor have all of the 98 been (thus far) phuctored or even attempted
02:01 asciilifeform but elementarily, all of them are expected to appear prior to the end of the churn of the sks dump circa last month
02:01 asciilifeform (on account of all of them being divisible by 4294967297)
02:04 ben_vulpes <asciilifeform> what i did not have time to do is to measure whether this had the intended effect. << how would you measure fragging?
02:05 asciilifeform ben_vulpes: can only be (easily) measured indirectly
02:05 asciilifeform sorta like 'dark matter'
02:06 asciilifeform that is, process has heavy 'footprint' but sum of allocations is a small fraction of it
02:07 asciilifeform the only conclusive test for fragging is manually sweating over a memory dump 'with magnifying glass'
02:08 asciilifeform (there may exist an instrumented allocator which will actually complain about being unable to find an appropriately-sized free block, but i am unaware of it)
02:08 ben_vulpes i'm starting to not be surprised by the failure of modern computing tools

14:46 mircea_popescu One of the biggest surprises in the book is the importance of federal mortgage loan forgiveness: “This chapter shows how all of these outcomes, and more, may be a direct result of stark incentives created by the FDIC and HAMP programs (hereafter jointly referenced as FH) and their practice of targeting the ratio of housing expenses to borrower income. The FH programs offer modifications on the basis of borrower incom
14:46 mircea_popescu e reported to the United States Internal Revenue Service. The first section of the chapter shows how the programs resemble government safety net programs, except that the marginal income tax rates from mortgage modification far exceed 100 percent in some instances.” It turned out that a person’s mortgage payments would be reduced by $1.31 for every $1 fall in income. In other words a lower-income American with a mo

Mulligan also notes that as the program was unfavorable to lenders they had a huge incentive to “promote borrower confusion and uncertainty about the disposition of their modification application.” (i.e., the bureaucratic run-around might not have been accidental!)

16:34 mircea_popescu this is what fucking economy is. choice.
16:35 mircea_popescu and yes, people don't get all they want, and the stupid don't get "basics" whereas the smart don't get "unimportant stuff".
16:35 mircea_popescu this has more to do with the fact that ipso definitio the preoccupations of the stupid will be banal. they don't have what with to miss things above a coat.
16:36 mircea_popescu if we're in weepathon mode, how about for every coat some poor kid borne by stupid parents never got,

18:31 shinohai ty asciilifeform for the rss feed, as now I can search easily from my irc client :D
18:31 asciilifeform shinohai: it may or may not be usable, please read disclaimer
18:32 asciilifeform the reason i cannot say for certain, is that i have very little idea of what a typical rss -reader- does with the timestamp
18:32 asciilifeform and can't presently be arsed to research it
18:32 kakobrekla hence rss suicide joke.
18:32 asciilifeform kakobrekla: ?

19:14 williamdunne Scoopbot can read any RSS or atom feed
19:14 kakobrekla as far as i can tell dates are incorrect but the order is correct in your feed ? thats workable. perhaps scoop can cover it. i can too.
19:14 asciilifeform williamdunne: the dates are entirely unusable. see thread
19:15 asciilifeform i recall that mircea_popescu asked for a real-time phuctor ticker.
19:15 asciilifeform hence why i attempted it
19:16 kakobrekla williamdunne be my guest!
19:23 williamdunne asciilifeform: Dates aren't involved in Scoop's processes
19:23 williamdunne Thoroughly ignored by him.
19:24 williamdunne Uses a persisted Map of URLs to objects. Messages when he sees a new one
19:24 asciilifeform what determines 'new' ?
19:24 williamdunne Whether or not the URL is in the map
19:24 asciilifeform and stores forever ?
19:24 williamdunne Persisted, yes
19:25 asciilifeform thing is, it is actually possible for the same phuctor url to be new twice.
19:25 asciilifeform rss provided no sane way to handle this.
19:25 williamdunne In this case I may have to make a custom set of rules for Phuctor
19:25 williamdunne This is not a problem, so long as something changes between first seen and the update
19:25 williamdunne (title, ideally)
19:26 asciilifeform it is entirely possible for same key to be 'new' twice in succession.
19:27 williamdunne Within how long of each other?
19:27 asciilifeform immediately.
19:27 williamdunne Well then why does this matter? Scoop shares it once and you see both
19:28 asciilifeform it doesn't matter. just pointing out that the thing follows literally none of the prescribed assumptions
19:28 asciilifeform wouldn't want scoopbot to choke on it
19:28 williamdunne Fair enough, think he'll do fine. Fits in quite well with his existing logic

19:33 williamdunne Yes
19:33 williamdunne RSS is silly
19:33 williamdunne With Scoop I worked out a structure that fixes some of the issues
19:33 williamdunne i.e Dates
19:34 williamdunne Re: polling, what would you suggest as the alternative? Websockets?
19:34 asciilifeform williamdunne: no
19:34 asciilifeform williamdunne: a proper internet
19:35 asciilifeform as in, we take everything post-1990 or so and shoot it. then start over.
19:35 williamdunne I'll get working on it on Monday
19:35 williamdunne ;)
19:35 asciilifeform l0l
19:38 williamdunne Anyhow, what in particular is wrong with it? While there is a host of derpy technologies I'm quite fond of some things - like WebSockets
19:38 asciilifeform williamdunne: fundamentally - the idiot polling
19:38 asciilifeform all else follows from this.
19:39 williamdunne Isn't that the point of WebSockets, getting rid of derpy polling?

20:40 * asciilifeform just woke up to the fact that he was a fool when originally wrote phuctor. a phuctored modulus must fragment into factors, each of which is in turn subject to all future attempts at phuctoring
20:40 asciilifeform (if composite per rabin-miller)
20:41 * williamdunne whoosh
20:41 asciilifeform mircea_popescu ^^^^^^
20:41 asciilifeform as it is, the gigantic turds yielded by the current gcd finds will not break apart
20:43 asciilifeform the mechanics of a correct phuctor are, roughly: thing keeps track of keys, rsa moduli within, as existing phuctor does; but instead of flagging 'phuctored' moduli, we keep table of known factors (associated with respective unknowns, which, in turn, may be yet-unphuctored moduli -or- fragments previously created by successful phuctorings)
20:44 asciilifeform likewise, each unknown is stamped with a date of last gcd-ing, as well as sha512 of the mass product at the time this was done.
20:45 * asciilifeform wanders off to contemplate this
20:51 assbot [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 161000 @ 0.00035452 = 57.0777 BTC [+] {4}
20:53 decimation asciilifeform: yeah that sounds like a good idea
20:53 decimation it would be nice to click on '3' and call up all the moduli which are factored by '3'
20:54 decimation williamdunne: websockets are 'tardation on top of tardation
20:57 williamdunne What is particularly tarded about WS?
20:57 * williamdunne still doesn't get it
20:58 decimation the shortcomings of turning a fundamentally broadcast technology into a 'virtual channel'
20:58 decimation inside of which you place another virtual channel
20:59 williamdunne While with that description it does sound a bit tarded, in practise I've found them to work very well
20:59 decimation sure, so do 1950's era pickups in cuba
21:00 trinque williamdunne: on the one hand there's a superficial "did I make it do something, and did it 'work'"
21:00 trinque and on the other there's considering the entire stack that got you to that point, and whether that made any sense
21:00 trinque first off the thing's not a socket; iirc it throws you wads o' data piecemeal
21:00 trinque you can't stream arbitrary binary data over it
21:00 trinque (maybe I'm wrong? don't think so)
21:01 danielpbarron !up DanyAlos
21:02 trinque I mean to be specific it's a wrapper around a socket with certain assumptions on how it'll be used; it doesn't just give you a raw unix socket and say "go at it"
21:04 trinque apparently in some newer version of the standard it has a binary streaming thing
21:04 williamdunne Would there be any particular benefit to that in its intended usage? JSON/MsgPack/whatever all work fine with anything I can imagine being necessary on the web
21:04 assbot [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 65600 @ 0.00033557 = 22.0134 BTC [-] {2}
21:05 trinque williamdunne: what do you want to do with it?
21:06 williamdunne Streaming basic pricing data, and submitting/receiving bets are the two I have used it for
21:06 trinque oh, you wanted bitbet to provide a websocket?
21:06 williamdunne Fairly simplistic stuff
21:06 williamdunne Nope
21:06 williamdunne Unrelated
21:06 trinque ah k
21:06 trinque so adding a bunch of persistent connections is going to increase overhead
21:06 williamdunne But if there were best happening more than every second, sure that'd be a great feature to see
21:07 williamdunne Overhead vs the AJAX method? I'd bet otherwise
21:07 trinque no need to bet.
21:07 trinque it depends on what users are doing
21:07 williamdunne Aha
21:08 trinque on the one hand, anyone with the site open in a tab is going to be a connection your server will have open
21:08 trinque on the ajax side, you may have tons of unnecessary polling
21:08 trinque so you would have to actually try both and see based on your own situation which is more expensive
21:08 trinque I think nginx does pretty well handling a bunch of idle websocket connections
21:09 trinque and can hand them off to some backend nicely
21:09 williamdunne Very true, but anything where the data is somewhat frequent I reckon would be better off in WS
21:09 williamdunne Yes, I was using Phoenix which handles it very well
21:09 trinque there are other things to consider
21:09 trinque browsers can pipeline requests through the same connection
21:09 trinque https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_pipelining
21:09 assbot HTTP pipelining - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ... ( http://bit.ly/1eU5Kap )
21:10 trinque so the ajax vs ws thing may be more similar than it appears
21:11 assbot [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 144984 @ 0.00035944 = 52.113 BTC [+] {4}
21:13 trinque "keep-alive" is the thing to look into there
21:16 williamdunne Yeah, server send events or summin
21:19 assbot [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 52650 @ 0.00036084 = 18.9982 BTC [+]
21:20 trinque williamdunne: I don't even mean that, just that polling might not look much different load-wise from the WS doing its thing
21:20 trinque that said I've used websockets; the whole browser's shit, subset of which WS are shit
21:20 trinque lol
21:24 trinque williamdunne: and to elaborate on the reason why, the browser was a nightmarish wad of complexity before WS
21:24 trinque WS just bolt another huge attack surface to the thing
21:24 trinque it would not blow my mind if there are session hijacking hax to be found within, so on
