09:41 pete_dushenski til : In many parts of the English speaking world (UK, Ireland, Australia, Canada, and South Africa) “practice” is the noun, “practise” the verb.
09:41 mircea_popescu well yeah
09:42 pete_dushenski i was toiling under the impression that it was the 's' was the british spelling and 'c' the american
09:42 pete_dushenski which is only partially true
09:42 pete_dushenski americans will use 'c' for both noun and verb, brits differentiate

09:45 mircea_popescu the difference between "at mercy of parasites" and "reasonably healthy" is strictly predicated on "not commensal with beasts of the field"

09:56 asciilifeform well it runs
09:56 asciilifeform just with years of non-replicable sweat behind it.
09:57 mircea_popescu aha. this, incidentally. it's fucking medieval, you know, for man to work a day and at the end of it to have less than a day's work to show for it.
09:57 mircea_popescu the fucking idea is to get POSITIVE leverage for crying out loud
09:57 mircea_popescu not leverage that delevers you.
09:57 asciilifeform entirely medieval. but no different from, say, studying mathematics.

09:59 asciilifeform in a sense this was study, just not of a kind anyone would wish for. i.e. i could re-make the thing if it burned down.
09:59 asciilifeform (at somewhat astonishing expense)
09:59 mircea_popescu asciilifeform the point of study isn't "memorize this list of bugs"

And so I propose Kim Kardashian as Trump's running mate. Not Kim Kardashian herself—she d
10:05 asciilifeform oesn't amount to much—but, more specifically, her amazing ass. She has a stunning derrière that I am sure will make America feel proud again. Further, I propose that Trump marry her ass, and make a sort of national royal ass-family. She'd be the Vice-Prezz and the First Lady-Ass—killing two birds with one ass, if you will! Yes, it would require another tweak to the marriage laws to make it possible for a man and a woman's

10:52 mircea_popescu it's true that organic complex systems take a number of tries to arrive at a result. but that sort of failure rate is not seen in nature - woman doesn't abort 10 for every one it carries to term. aborts less than half.
10:52 mircea_popescu meanwhile, in engineering people obviously went from building bridges that sometimes stood up to building bridges that almost always stay up.

15:09 deedbot- [Trilema] Come see what "positive", "affirmative" etc mean! - http://trilema.com/2015/come-see-what-positive-affirmative-etc-mean/
15:09 ascii_field mircea_popescu: you ever heard of the-transaction-cant-be-public ?
15:09 mircea_popescu why does it have to be public ?
15:09 mircea_popescu wot doesn't require this.
15:09 ascii_field wot requires public, yes
15:09 BingoBoingo mircea_popescu: Will look into it, but there has been "masquerade" spamming lately. Hard to tell if actual impersonation though or plausible deniability scam
15:09 ascii_field selling 0days requires privacy
15:09 mircea_popescu in your understanding, maybe.
15:09 ascii_field at least if you don't have an army.
15:10 ascii_field otherwise i would have to include the cost of an army in my price
15:10 ascii_field and who will buy then

15:11 mircea_popescu BingoBoingo i'm not sure why such a concern would be of any interest. this "fund" is not represented in the wot. consequently, any piece of email purportying to be from them ACTUALLY IS every time that is detrimental to them
15:11 mircea_popescu and never is otherwise.
15:11 shinohai "Si te sientes guapa" <<< LOL that's all it takes ....
15:12 BingoBoingo mircea_popescu: Just that lingering doubt is why I'm going to keep digging for other stuff to consider qntra-ing up
15:12 mircea_popescu ascii_field couldja for five minutes stop with this "i know how things are in direct proportion of how little i know about them" ?
15:12 ascii_field mircea_popescu: ..?
15:12 mircea_popescu makes sense BingoBoingo
15:12 mircea_popescu ascii_field what part of wot requires any deal be public!
15:13 BingoBoingo mircea_popescu: Anyways last week there was nearly identical spam floating around under Pantera Capital's name. Spam's not really news.
15:13 mircea_popescu this is true.
15:13 ascii_field let's say it does not. so i renege and pastebin the exploit i just sold. vendor negrates me: '-10, poopyhead, can't say why publicly'
15:13 mircea_popescu so ?
15:14 ascii_field so i generate a new key. but, you will say, next buyer will not deal with a nobody ? then why would they have dealt with me earlier ?
15:14 mircea_popescu for all you know it can literally say "i don't trust him".
15:15 ascii_field so now we have 'you gotta associate your existing identity with selling 0days'
15:15 mircea_popescu because i said so ?
15:15 ascii_field ------> gasenwagen.
15:15 mircea_popescu we have no such thing.
15:15 mircea_popescu see, you jump over the uncomfortable fractures.
15:15 ascii_field humour me, say i want to sell an 0day today.
15:15 ascii_field i create a new key for this purpose
15:15 mircea_popescu and by uncomfortable i mean, the places where yo ususpect the solution may lie.
15:15 ascii_field why would anyone trade with me ?
15:15 mircea_popescu a key for the purpose of a one off deal ?
15:15 mircea_popescu that is ipso definitio a scam.
15:16 ascii_field for the purpose of the entire thing
15:16 ascii_field say i have precisely 1 saleable 0day.
15:16 mircea_popescu suppose someoine who isn't us registers 0day_bourbaky in the wot.
15:16 mircea_popescu ima rate it. because i fucking feel like it.
15:16 ascii_field ok, this works once.
15:16 mircea_popescu so there you go, it's started.
15:16 ascii_field maybe twice.
15:16 mircea_popescu yes it works once. how many times do you want it to work.
15:16 ascii_field will you rate the 10,001st one when 10,000 renege ?
15:16 ascii_field i won't.
15:16 mircea_popescu wait. 10k what ?
15:16 ascii_field 10,000 bozos take the coin & run
15:17 mircea_popescu ...
15:17 ascii_field or renege in some other way.
15:17 mircea_popescu you're the seller or the buyer here ?
15:17 ascii_field in this example, i'm just an earthworm. watching.
15:17 mircea_popescu wouldja stop.
15:17 mircea_popescu are we discussing the buyer or the seller side here.
15:17 ascii_field in this case, seller. he gets shafted.
15:18 mircea_popescu stop trying to force the inept mental jump on me. i am neither inept nor am i making it.
15:18 ascii_field which one ?
15:18 mircea_popescu seller has a minimum of two 0 days. he creates a wot account for the purpose of selling these and future ones indefinitely. seller publishes one freom that account as a proof, announces he has more, explains what it costs. sends it encrypted once gets paid. gets rated. what's the big deal.
15:18 ascii_field mircea_popescu: understand, if i'm merely thick and you can describe a working mechanism, people ~will~ use...
15:19 mircea_popescu i just have.
15:19 * ascii_field thinks
15:19 mircea_popescu and if seller doesn't want to burn one, seller can just ask (PRIVATELY) friends to rate it.
15:19 ascii_field say i have ~exactly one~.
15:19 mircea_popescu which friends will do.
15:19 mats this is how i imagine it would work
15:19 mircea_popescu or at any rate, i will do.
15:21 mircea_popescu but the caveat being that if seller has exactly one, and no reason to suspect he will ever have more, this entire thing is a wot. aka, waste of time.
15:21 asciilifeform !up ascii_field
15:21 mircea_popescu and he should just play the good researcher and publish it.
15:22 ascii_field give the plutonium away for free to the first idiot pastebin reader who comes along, aha.
15:22 mircea_popescu yep
15:22 ascii_field why bother digging it out of the ground to begin with ?
15:22 mircea_popescu it's provably the best usage, if you don't secrete it.
15:23 mircea_popescu mno. words have meanings. " no reason to suspect he will ever have more".
15:23 mircea_popescu this precludes any bothering. because bothering is a thing of work, which is a reason to suspect.
15:23 ascii_field i'm not speaking theoretically, either
15:24 mircea_popescu either he can make them, at some rate whatever it may be, but nonzero (even if it's so low in the end it ends up being 0), and then he has a business being a seller.
15:24 ascii_field it is entirely possible to find a potential exploit in the course of unrelated work. developing it into an ACTUAL exploit takes sweat.
15:24 ascii_field mats will understand what i speak of here.
15:24 mircea_popescu or else he can not make them, just found some meteor, in which case he has no business being a seller. because nobody may sell what he can't make.
15:24 mircea_popescu which is why "inheritors" are fundamentally poor.
15:24 mircea_popescu then the afid needs an ant.
15:25 ascii_field i think it is necessary to put on magic glasses, which i don't have, to see 'poor inheritors'
15:25 mircea_popescu as he's only half a person
15:25 ascii_field because afaik most of the serious money is in the hands of inheritors even now.
15:25 mircea_popescu ascii_field watch butterfield 8.
15:25 * ascii_field puts on list
15:25 mircea_popescu not only a gorgeous 20something liz taylor, but also
15:27 ascii_field also saud et al will beg to differ that 'you cannot sell what you do not make'
15:27 mircea_popescu apparently the web doesn't have the quote. something like "my dear, i'm going out to find my pride. and if i ever find it, we'll see if it's still worth a damn to either of us."
15:27 mircea_popescu ascii_field they can beg all they want, it's adequate to them.
15:27 mircea_popescu what you can not make you can only give away. never sell.
15:27 ascii_field so what, saudi golden toilet is leaden somehow ?
15:27 ascii_field how does this work ?
15:28 mircea_popescu it's a metaphysical point!
15:29 ascii_field hence my note re: magic glasses.
15:29 ascii_field because on the planet where i live, the richest folk, as far as naked eye can see, are resource extractors
15:29 mircea_popescu ie, they find 0 days ?
15:29 ascii_field the geological equivalent
15:29 mircea_popescu makes sense.
15:31 mircea_popescu anyway. this entire "if you only got one and don't know how you got it, either - you therefore must publish" thing is exactly because that's how one learns.
15:32 mircea_popescu for as long as you don't have a method to make them laugh, you're not to epxect to be paid for your "Comedian services".
15:32 ascii_field saudi brass spend a million usd like i spend a dollar in a coke machine. and i know this through degree-1 meatwot.
15:32 mircea_popescu you're to tell your jokes freely as much as possible, so as to learn how it works.
15:32 ascii_field not through legend.
15:32 mircea_popescu earning money at it come,s later.
15:32 mircea_popescu ascii_field are you in a position to negrate this "degree-1" "meatwot" ?
15:33 ascii_field meatwot is not a proper wot
15:33 mircea_popescu so then don't mix improperly.
15:33 mircea_popescu for that matter, i spent a million like you spend a dollar in a coke machine.
15:33 ascii_field e.g., ever day ?
15:33 mircea_popescu and coke was "degree-1" involved, iirc buffett still owns lots of it.
15:33 mircea_popescu shit, you actually do that every day ?! IT'S BAD FOR YOU
15:33 mircea_popescu :D
15:34 ascii_field not these days.
15:34 mircea_popescu just saying, expenditure's not the measure of the world. but anyway.
15:34 ascii_field but there was a time when i got caffeinated goop from vending machines, at uni.
15:34 ascii_field was trying to point out that the folks who 'make nothing' (true!) have pretty much infinite money.
15:35 ascii_field and access to 'turkeys' approximately as fast as they can be produced.
15:37 ascii_field re: meatwot, all i meant was that i personally know a fella, who i trust to describe what he saw, who saw the palaces and ludicrous 'stotting'
15:38 thestringpuller re: meatwot, don't think one exist since memory if fallible
15:39 ascii_field mircea_popescu: re: repeated sales of exploits, there are also opsec considerations.
15:39 ascii_field mircea_popescu: it is possible sometimes, from the overall flavour of the items, for hitler to ferret out whom to shoot.
15:40 ascii_field (as may have been the case with 'snowden-2', though these were not exploits in the sense meant in this thread)
15:40 thestringpuller i still don't think a meatwot can exist
15:40 thestringpuller otherwise drug dealers wouldn't actively snitch on each other
15:41 ascii_field thestringpuller: as mircea_popescu pointed out, i am abusing the term to refer to meatspace business circles
15:41 mats what exactly precludes a meatwot from existence?
15:41 mats i'm not following
15:42 thestringpuller mats: in my perspective it seems the meatwot is more easily susceptible sybil attacks than one enforced with the principle governing gpg contracts
15:42 jurov http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=15-09-2015#1274490 sory, i'll pass on, looks like it's not a priority at all for these people i wanted to do it together with
15:42 assbot Logged on 15-09-2015 14:01:15; mircea_popescu: which leaves phuctor in dire need of a new home. unless anyone comes forward with something (hey jurov what's the word there ?) i guess ima get another box at another dubious provider
15:42 ascii_field thestringpuller: how?
15:43 mats canonical meatwot should involve gpg.
15:43 mats otherwise it'd be meatfacebook
15:43 ascii_field mats: how often do your friends get physically replaced with impostors ?
15:43 ascii_field without you noticing.
15:43 mats hasn't happened yet
15:43 thestringpuller ascii_field: because niggas be forgetful and shit. if you're just saying "Well i trust this nigga cause of xyz" it's by word of mouth i.e. memory rather than something digitally recorded
15:44 thestringpuller and cryptographically provable
15:44 ascii_field thestringpuller: if you deal with sufficiently many people that your memory cannot fit them perfectly, your wot is not strictly a meatwot.

15:45 thestringpuller then you know that event likley occurred
15:45 thestringpuller but it seems far more flimsy than a crypto record
15:46 thestringpuller ascii_field: and it's not just my memory. it's whether memory of even occurred and is easily verifiable

15:51 ascii_field ;;later tell mod6 a more readable graph could omit genesis node.
15:51 gribble The operation succeeded.

15:55 anton_osika asciilifeform: Depends on what the contract is saying.
15:55 ascii_field anyway it is not ~my~ problem.
15:56 anton_osika Such a thing is not a problem in any serious contract that I would write in a business situation.
15:56 ascii_field but i know enough to say that it will be a problem here.
15:56 anton_osika Either you actively distrust Kraken.com and make ~no~payment. Or you fulfill your part of the contract as well as possible.
15:56 mod6 well, can't get the directional thing correct unless I use graphviz :/ http://thebitcoin.foundation/misc/vpatch-nodes.png

16:02 shinohai punkman: trust me, being here opened my eyes to how inept I was with gpg
16:02 BingoBoingo anton_osika: And further to the point, I don't think Kraken is in any position to attest to anything seeing how it is the USG appointed tool for distributing MtGox's carcass
16:05 BingoBoingo At least anton_osika In the even you manage to uncorrupt your backup Kraken is no longer in a position to take deliver in your place by signing from the outgoing BTC address.
16:06 thestringpuller wind 10
16:08 mats if you image the device, i'd be happy to attempt recovery for a modest fee if i'm successful
16:09 anton_osika BingoBoingo: Depends on what the contract should constructively be interpreted by. Unless MP stands by his word and take the one and only claimed deposit address (by the freenode authed antonosika as well as the holder of the bitcoin wallet) mircea_popescu will lose credibility by people who agree to my interpretation of what the cause of a future delivery
16:09 anton_osika contract is.
16:10 anton_osika interpreted for*
16:10 anton_osika and this is a piss in the ocean for upholding ones credibility for mircea_popescu .
16:11 ascii_field anton_osika: iirc mircea_popescu explained specifically, earlier, that he would lose credibility among the people who matter if he ~did~ pay.
16:11 shinohai And how exactly is your credibility worth more than mircea_popescu 's?
16:12 anton_osika mircea_popescu wrote the contract for the cause of delivery, right?
16:13 anton_osika I am the long party and have independent verification of this by others with recognised trust.
16:13 anton_osika ascii_field: I do not need any trust at all to damage MP:s trust.
16:13 mircea_popescu omg the highlights
16:13 anton_osika <3
16:13 mats that's not how the wot works
16:14 mircea_popescu <ascii_field> who saw the palaces and ludicrous 'stotting' << sure, i'm privy to teh arab wastage.
16:15 mircea_popescu <mats> otherwise it'd be meatfacebook << lol. it's either pgp or meat, baby.
16:16 anton_osika mircea_popescu: I re-read the contract, and the system of trust should prevent egoistic interpretations of contracts.
16:16 mircea_popescu ahahah kraken.com wut ?!
16:16 anton_osika There is a Kraken PGP key here that a lot of people that hold their trust (even in forms of assets) dearly to it . Those people would forever lose some of the trust for you.
16:17 mircea_popescu o wow check it out, he actually managed the level enforcement. nice stuff mod6 !
16:17 anton_osika ^the magic of digital trust.
16:17 mircea_popescu <anton_osika> By the people who understand the situation. << by the who ?
16:17 ascii_field mircea_popescu: aha - isn't it beautiful? it looks exactly like the graph in my head when i wrote 'v'
16:17 mircea_popescu dun tell me there's some dudes right over the horizon ganging together to beat me up ?
16:18 mod6 mircea_popescu: thanks :]
16:18 mircea_popescu ascii_field yeah. it's wunderbar.
16:18 anton_osika mircea_popescu: I am sorry.
16:18 mircea_popescu mod6 didja do some hand-helping in there ?
16:18 anton_osika mircea_popescu: I tried to prevent a situation like this...
16:18 shinohai But the contract wasn't between kraken was it?
16:18 mircea_popescu because the thing shows some very promising AI in arranging the boxes.
16:18 mircea_popescu lol wait you tried to what ?!
16:18 anton_osika hehe
16:19 mircea_popescu dude he could be a us secretary or something this guy. incredible how the same verbiage flows from the same circumstances.
16:19 ascii_field mircea_popescu: iirc it is based on 'energy minimization' << as in http://log.bitcoin-assets.com//?date=02-08-2015#1222064
16:19 assbot Logged on 02-08-2015 16:00:48; asciilifeform: can give the 'atoms' electrostatic-style charge, so they repel, and the bonds - 'strain', so they contract
16:19 mircea_popescu almost against one's will, as it were.
16:19 mod6 only one part that could be automated i think; just dumped out the graphviz config to file, and then tweeked the `rankdir' to 'BT' for (bottom=>top) by hand. then just gotta run dot to generate the image.
16:19 anton_osika Seriously mircea_popescu. You wrote the contract - it has a cause and you have got the invoice paid.
16:20 mircea_popescu see ascii_field ye olde "bitcoin perverts nsa" thing ? cuts both ways. finding oneself in the sort of situation the usg finds itself ALSO perverts.
16:20 mircea_popescu anton_osika what's "egoistic interpretations of contracts." ?
16:20 ascii_field mircea_popescu: aha! recall how you once observed that it is astonishing that i, in particular, manage to think about anything at all ?
16:20 mircea_popescu mod6 does it actually attempt to minimize line length ? ascii_field you realise this is a complete problem yes ?
16:21 mod6 so this can be automated, but some cleanup required. im just read that you can make clickable links -- gonna give it a shot.
16:21 mod6 mircea_popescu: it might. im not exactly sure how graphviz does its magic.
16:21 ascii_field mircea_popescu: np-complete does not mean unsolvable ! just means that not solvable efficiently if the data set is at all large
16:21 mircea_popescu ah i thought it was something you brewed. somehow i thought graphviz won't do it.
16:21 ascii_field or rather, not that, either. but in bean counter terms
16:22 mircea_popescu aha.
16:22 ascii_field but in point of fact, this is a very favourable data set for plotting
16:22 mircea_popescu we are contemplating rather large datasets. but yes, so far.
16:22 asciilifeform !up ascii_field
16:22 ascii_field only forward flow, for example
16:22 mircea_popescu ah yes that helps
16:22 mod6 yeah, i re-wrote v in perl, and it does all the traversing etc, then i build the graph with recursion and the Graph::Easy mod.
16:23 mircea_popescu "time only flows one way because god got fucking sick of debugging bidirectional graphs"
16:23 ascii_field graph::easy has the killer feature of ascii output!
16:23 ascii_field the only such lib i was able to find
16:23 ascii_field almost considered rewriting in perl myself, just to use it
16:23 mircea_popescu o.O
16:23 mod6 that's why i initially liked it too! but alas, if you can't grow TB or BT, then it gets hairy at 80 cols.
16:23 mod6 there might be a way to do this still, just might be a bit deeper than i'ev looked so far.

19:40 ben_vulpes Among the mystery vendors discovered by the resourceful Eric Outfield down in the encrypted files of hashslingrz is a fiber brokerage called Darklinear Solutions.
19:40 ben_vulpes Who in their right mind, you wonder, would go into fiber these days, given the huge decline in new installation since last year? Well, back during the tech bubble, it seems so much cabling was put in that now miles of existing fiber are just sitting there what they call “dark,” and the result is that outfits like Darklinear have come swooping down on the carcass of the business, scouting out overinstalled, unused fiber in otherwise
19:40 ben_vulpes “lit” buildings, mapping it, helping clients put together customized private networks.
19:40 ben_vulpes What’s puzzling Maxine is why hashslingrz’s payments to Darklinear are being kept hidden when they don’t have to be. Fiber’s a legitimate company expense, bandwidth needs at hashslingrz more than justify it, even the IRS seems to be happy. And yet, just as with hwgaahwgh.com, the dollar amounts are way too big, and somebody’s putting up password protection out of all proportion.

They also tried to convince Brock that she wasn't really a banker and President Obama didn't really follow her on Twitter, though both facts are true.

23:20 pete_dushenski ah yes, the famous schedule.
23:20 pete_dushenski you wouldn't happen to have a copy would you ?
23:20 asciilifeform this here is that rare bird, the 'five-year plan' that might actually get met.

23:29 assbot Logged on 15-09-2015 20:25:14; anton_osika: mircea_popescu: you wrote the contract - the "long party" is the payer of the invoice". Nowhere does it state that the "long party" will need a PGP signature for payment. This is solely interpretation - and you are NOT paying for a future delivery contract. Do you have any rationale for this?
23:29 assbot Logged on 26-08-2014 23:24:06; antonosika: BingoBoingo: the problem is that it is possible to argue that the deposit was not from the long party
23:30 mod6 <+asciilifeform> mod6: and ought to be on the www << cool, added it under the links section for the time being. when I get the v documentation complete, etc, i'll create a section for V itself.

23:31 mircea_popescu but mostly the former.
23:32 danielpbarron mircea_popescu, he goes on to agree with BingoBoingo, that the sender is not the "long party"
23:32 BingoBoingo asciilifeform: The fights not in the event title. This event's title is Mayweather-Berto. And yet fights serving as the prelude much better.
23:32 mircea_popescu danielpbarron well that much is right. the sender don't enter into it, the long party is whoever can sign with that sig.
23:32 BingoBoingo <danielpbarron> mircea_popescu, he goes on to agree with BingoBoingo, that the sender is not the "long party" << I never talked on who is what party. I just was on people with keys are parties. Without keys STFU.
23:32 mircea_popescu i thought you meant the other way
