01:20 mircea_popescu "I have a surprising piece of advice for parents, which I hope will be taken in the spirit it is offered: your kid doesn't want to be around you that much. No one does. This isn't because you're a bad person but because you're an ordinary person. You are not such a unique, creative, intelligent or even interesting person that the kid benefits from constant exposure to you. When you have something to offer, maximize
01:20 mircea_popescu and concentrate that time, and then get the hell out of the way."
01:20 mircea_popescu best advice.

10:18 thestringpuller how does that work psychologically and all that jazz?
10:19 kakobrekla anyone else needs a login?
10:20 mircea_popescu the ancient theory on consumptive masturbation was that monsters are a figment of the imagination, and so the practical cure was to expose the young man to ACTUAL, ie, anatomically accurate depictions of the other gender. what today we'd call porn.
10:20 mircea_popescu all neurosis works the same way, the subject replaces the thing as is with a construct in his own head.

10:44 assbot Logged on 13-10-2015 02:56:15; mircea_popescu: phf i doubt assbot actually updates them. it might also not look at expirations, i dunno how kakobrekla did it, maybe he weighs in.
10:44 mircea_popescu ah
10:45 mircea_popescu any particular reason ?
10:45 mircea_popescu imo the right play would be to stop refreshing and move to a "provide your pubkey in pastebin" model. prhaps even to be enhanced to a "ask someone in wot to sign your pubkey and give it to assbot" later. too soon for that imo.
10:49 kakobrekla prolly because of key revocation

11:15 davout guten tag
11:17 mircea_popescu hola
11:19 mircea_popescu "Pharma is the backbone of medicine, because, unfortuantely, medicine is about treatment, not prevention. If a doctor recommends exercise, or garlic, or even aspirin, it's a sidenote, and a quaint one. "Oh, my doctor thinks I should move to Florida for my asthma!" Meanwhile, they'll give out the amoxicillin to every crying toddler, even though they know that that is detrimental. you know why? Because it looks like
11:19 mircea_popescu a treatment. It's not all the doctors' fault; but that's the system.
11:19 mircea_popescu I'm going to repeat this because I know people are going to misunderstand me: the system that you want is impossible to construct in the framework of modern medicine, if for no other reason than doctors don't read-- derive no benefit from reading. The system does not exist, and you cannot create it. Psychiatry is politics; medicine is the justice system. Pharma are the opposing lawyers, and doctors are the jury. Th
11:19 mircea_popescu e jury must decide the fate of the defendant-patient. And the FDA--judge simply makes sure everyone is civil. Not accurate, save for outright perjury; just civil."
11:19 mircea_popescu motherfucker. see, this is how bad ideas corrupt.
11:19 jurov iirc the keyserver will be geared maximally toward manual process

12:06 binaryatrocity but as basically another keyserver, no problem with keybase right?
12:07 binaryatrocity I'm not trusting them with my private key, it's just a sane profile to store the public and link me to domains etc i might control?
12:08 mircea_popescu sorta like hanging out at the rape club is a-ok because you're only getting drinks anyway.
12:08 mircea_popescu a perfectly sound if rather uncommon stance.
12:08 binaryatrocity but I left the key to my chastity belt at home, so I'm safe!? :D
12:09 binaryatrocity Just looking for some reasoning behind the hate, feel free to tell me I'm an idiot.
12:09 binaryatrocity Obviously popping your private key into your browser is asking for a bad-time, but in the same vein as pgp.mit.edu is used, it's basically teh same functionality?
12:09 punkman binaryatrocity: one, it is/was all javascript, two, it used to "backup" your private keys to their server
12:10 mircea_popescu not afaik same functionality, no.
12:10 binaryatrocity but handing over your private key is optional, I clearly understand why relinquishing access to your private key is a bad idea
12:10 mircea_popescu but hanging out / using people who do a bad thing, even if they're not doing it to you, is dubious.
12:12 binaryatrocity I see your point, the public-facing info can be useful though, sure there might be no real tangible benefit to tying your github to your gpg key that you couldn't achieve in a different manner, but it does provide a clean interface
12:13 mircea_popescu that's ok, we don't like github either.
12:14 binaryatrocity Sure, self-hosted is king. I follow.
12:14 davout binaryatrocity: how do you "link your GPG to your github"?
12:14 mircea_popescu this is the sort of thing one can't understand from outside.
12:15 jurov "popping your private key into your browser" IS NOT "the same vein as pgp.mit.edu is used" !!!
12:15 binaryatrocity i didn't say that
12:15 jurov where his nonsense comes from??
12:15 binaryatrocity *sigh*
12:15 mircea_popescu lol.
12:15 binaryatrocity I didn't say that at all
12:15 jurov what did you say?
12:16 binaryatrocity Storing your PUBLIC key on Keybase to be access by whomever is the equivalent to uploading your public key to the MIT keyserver
12:16 jurov i see "basically the same functionality"
12:16 binaryatrocity it allows someone who is looking for your public key to access it, based on information they may already know about you
12:16 mircea_popescu pushing a point, sending an ack to a http server is pretty much the same as sending an ack to any other http server.
12:16 binaryatrocity Be that your Name, an associated domain name, or an already-known 'social' account
12:16 mircea_popescu binaryatrocity that's not wqhat it does. what it does is, it allows keybase.io to PRETEND like they're relevant, based on your own work.
12:17 asciilifeform !up ascii_field
12:17 jurov binaryatrocity: and then the private keys of other derps leak, how will you explain "but it's not me" ?
12:17 ascii_field ok this is glorious:
12:17 binaryatrocity It stores the associations in a 'familiar' and accessible manner
12:17 mircea_popescu hey, what's your facebook ?
12:17 binaryatrocity but again i see your point, signing messages to my GIST or Twitter is still relevant without Keybase displaying it.
12:17 ascii_field my office window faces a parking lot. there is a 'welfar' office nearly. a couple just parked, carrying out a cradle with a kid. they parked... a brand new 'jaguar'.
12:18 jurov you're basically supporting gpg-discreditation ops
12:18 jurov understand?
12:18 ascii_field *welfare
12:18 ascii_field (or 'wic' as it is called now)
12:18 mircea_popescu ascii_field you know more poor people buy status symbol items on credit than rich people buy them cash ?
12:18 binaryatrocity Yes, yes I understand that keybase is bad because they allow the option for users to compromise their own private keys
12:18 ascii_field mircea_popescu: i knew, in abstract. but never saw alive.
12:19 mircea_popescu binaryatrocity it's not that simple. that's just a symptom. keybase is bad because is made by the enemy, to suit the agenda of the enemy. the compromise key is just a symptom of this fundamental allignment with evil.
12:19 binaryatrocity Care to elaborate on this 'agenda' some?
12:19 mircea_popescu you mean other than the log does ?
12:19 jurov i repeat, gpg discreditation

12:22 binaryatrocity I completely understand that argument, I just wanted some elaboration on "fundamental alignment with evil" heh
12:22 mircea_popescu maybe a good move is ben_vulpes recent article on cascadian hacker.
12:22 jurov it's in the logs
12:22 mircea_popescu anecdotal but workable.
12:23 jurov read them
12:23 ascii_field mircea_popescu: correction - turns out it was not 'jaguar' but something else. still, spiffier than my old tub.
12:23 binaryatrocity Yes i am currently reading them. I also have a job to do, was hoping for a succinct answer, oh well, I'll read at my leisure. Thank you.
12:23 mircea_popescu let me guess alfie, you mistook a new-ish chevy for jaguar.
12:23 davout jurov: gpg discredits itself fine by itself :D
12:24 mircea_popescu that is also a point lol.

12:33 mircea_popescu aye. just for my own amusement, i had a subreddit created ; and seeded it with a coupla posts.
12:33 mircea_popescu one week later traffic on it ? 0.
12:33 mircea_popescu "reddit is relevant". to what ?
12:33 ascii_field mircea_popescu: perhaps not much reddit in sp ?
12:33 mircea_popescu "well if you're already there it looks like there's people there". sure. same is true of grand central station
12:33 davout what's the subreddit?
12:33 mircea_popescu "no you don't understand, reddit drives traffic!!1"
12:33 mircea_popescu orly ? it drives exactly 0, on its own.
12:34 mircea_popescu davout no, because "irrelevant" MP is going to accidentally by an apropos drive 50000% more traffic than reddit\
12:34 mircea_popescu anmd then reddit will go "see ? |REDDIT DRIVES TRAFFIC!!11"
12:34 ascii_field idk, when i link article in en there, it brings in a deluge of burned bandwidth
12:34 mircea_popescu and then in the same day ima have to explain to well intentioned fellows what is evil about usg-tronics.
12:34 ascii_field reddit is mostly usa thing
12:35 mircea_popescu gee, i dunno. the fact they exist, as opposed to squirming in a lake full of its own guts ?
12:35 mircea_popescu ascii_field spanish is the most spoken language in the us, get off.
12:35 davout blergh
12:35 ascii_field mircea_popescu: not by net users
12:35 ascii_field believe or not
12:35 mircea_popescu get out. who's on her mobile all day ?
12:36 mircea_popescu not the northrop ceo, i'll bet you.
12:36 ascii_field those folks aren't using the net as such. they're using sms (and, the occasional arsebook)
12:36 mircea_popescu so then redit is exactly correct.
12:36 ascii_field reddit, for whatever reason unknown to me, is mainly used by folks who sprechen sprechen englisch

12:59 assbot The SKAM Laser Razor: 21st century shaving!! - YouTube ... ( http://bit.ly/1k2eP3A )
13:00 mike_c the problem with keybase is that it's smoke and mirrors. there isn't any actual link between those things, but it is pretending there is
13:00 binaryatrocity I'd imagine more the other way around, if you already 'followed' me on Twitter, you'd reasonably be able to assume that the other 'accounts' listed are also owned/controlled by that-person
13:01 mircea_popescu the reasonable assumption is a beast that wasn't yet born.
13:01 mike_c why? what would make me take that leap? because they are on the same keybase page that somebody set up?
13:01 mike_c this is the problem - imaginary "credibility"
13:01 mike_c if it were a problem, if anyone cared about keybase
13:02 mircea_popescu actually mike has it. this is i agree the best avenue to approach the problem. this is what's "evil", binaryatrocity : that in the pursuit of a fundamentally, inescapably false bit of fiction, you are asked to forfeit your actual life.
13:02 HeySteve mike_c, any idea why they don't implement a gribble/assbot verification system to solve the problem?
13:02 mike_c because consumers have come to expect simplicity.
13:02 mircea_popescu <ascii_field> or, if american forgery, why not crank out a pgp to sign with
13:03 mircea_popescu today in b-a news : all questions are the same question!
13:03 ascii_field something like the reason why the church never countenanced the various attempts to weigh the dying to learn the mass of escaping soul, etc
13:05 binaryatrocity I understand what you're saying, Keybase could not exist and you could still do the same process of "proofs", signing a message and positing it to Twitter saying this is me achieves the same thing
13:06 jurov you must say so publicly, not some website automagically for you
13:07 binaryatrocity You are saying so publicly
13:07 mircea_popescu well actually, the saying so on twitter is proof.
13:07 binaryatrocity by signing a message with your PGP key, thus linking hte accounts
13:08 binaryatrocity stop thinking about Keybase at all, if you know me for my code on Github, and you see I've signed some message with my key, and see a message similarly signed on a Twitter account
13:08 ascii_field binaryatrocity: and when twitter posts 'i fuck goats' under your account, how will you ~unlink~ ?
13:08 mircea_popescu there's a huge difference between something like http://deeds.bitcoin-assets.com/bundle-378272.txt and a nude statement on a website.
13:08 binaryatrocity you can reasonably assume that both accounts are owned/controlled by the same person, namely "that guy i know on Github"
13:08 binaryatrocity sure, you have no proof of real-world identity, but you have 'proof' that control of both accounts is had by the same entity
13:09 mircea_popescu moreover unless i want to fuck you i couldn't give less of a shit about your "real world" identity
13:09 mircea_popescu what exactly is it about wisconsin that makes it "real world" anyway.
13:09 mircea_popescu looks pretty fake to me.
13:10 binaryatrocity You could again sign a message with your key stating that Twitter or some other entity is posting to your Twitter account? lol
13:10 binaryatrocity that's... not hte point
13:10 ascii_field binaryatrocity: and post it ~where~
13:10 binaryatrocity the point is that anyone can go make a Reddit account with my nym
13:10 mircea_popescu sure.
13:10 binaryatrocity signing and posting messages between multiple accounts with the same name serves as some proof that they are controlled by the same entity
13:11 mircea_popescu well yeah.
13:11 binaryatrocity that's all I'm saying
13:11 binaryatrocity lol
13:11 mircea_popescu o ok than.

13:13 ascii_field they make small quantities of actual cheese, even.
13:13 ascii_field the beer is created when u.s. folks barf
13:13 binaryatrocity Wisconsin is known for cheese, the largest city in said state is known as "Brew City", as many of the current mass-produced american beers found their start here
13:13 mircea_popescu in fairness it'd be excellent clime for good cheez.
13:13 binaryatrocity Miller, Schlitz, Blatz, Leinies, etc
13:14 binaryatrocity and I think California makes more cheese now, so I don't even know
13:14 ascii_field the cost of actual cheese, in usa, per-gram, approaches that of silver
13:14 mircea_popescu am i the only one aware that schlitz is "urination opening in male pants" in yidish and so amused at the notion ?
13:15 mircea_popescu ascii_field 10-20 dollars an ounce ? sounds maybe a little excessive.
13:15 ascii_field 'a little'
13:15 mircea_popescu that said - good cheese was never cheap.

13:16 ascii_field this process continued in usa to its logical conclusion

15:46 mircea_popescu "bitch, get over here." yes massah. "here's how you gonna think free of outside influences. got that ?" yes massah.

15:48 ascii_field '...so the room would be empty!'
15:48 mircea_popescu see, this is the problem with l;iving over there.
15:48 mircea_popescu in the end, it does not matter how smart you personally are.
15:49 mircea_popescu spends 500 posts lambasting "narcisism" in others, proceeds to " How I answer this will affect the rest of her life". because why ?
15:50 mircea_popescu the biological sign of success as a parent is that your kids couldn't give less of a shit about you. that's how maturity works. look at any fucking mammal out there.
15:51 mircea_popescu "o no, people are better than you know, species" whyssat ? "because we got narcisism". well done.

16:49 mircea_popescu ...
16:49 mircea_popescu what's that gonna do.
16:49 ascii_field bloat.
16:50 mircea_popescu i thought you were testing if the gpg crashes.
16:50 ascii_field it may or may not, but not for 1000 !
16:50 mircea_popescu i had no idea we actually need to verify it bloats.
16:50 ascii_field just testing basic principle
16:50 mircea_popescu alright.
16:51 mircea_popescu iirc it was agreed that once we have a proper server these will crash and burn because well.
16:51 mike_c yeah, that is pretty annoying though. it's now a 200k public key..
16:51 mike_c *200kb
16:52 mircea_popescu should be interesting to see media reports about the obama's preteen whore key.

16:53 ascii_field now mircea_popescu, find a fast machine with hardware rng and run n = 21474837. then, shoot it into pgp.mit.edu ...
16:53 mircea_popescu apparently.
16:53 mircea_popescu i read it in the atlantic so it must be true.
16:53 ascii_field prolly will need a few days of runtime.
16:54 mircea_popescu ascii_field *I* am to find machine with hardware rng ?
16:54 mike_c plus, some kinda DOS on any service that imports keys from a keyserver
16:54 mircea_popescu i thought YOU MANUFACTURED THESE
16:54 ascii_field aha
16:54 ascii_field but walrus!
16:54 mike_c bloat keys to high hell, make service download and choke on them.

17:04 ben_vulpes Recent changes to the Division Clinton neighborhood have come at the expense of long time residents. With each new change, residents raise their concerns, only to be ignored. Then when the undesirable outcome materializes, the city proposes yet another change that further damages our quality of life. It was evident, when traffic and development projects came to Division, that these would result in more congestion along Clinton. Yet
17:04 ben_vulpes those policies were pushed through. The biggest obstacle to safe biking on Clinton is the excess of parked cars. Will the new parking policies still under discussion help to address this? It seems like Clinton Street should be the number one priority for parking permits and removal of nonresident cars (including those coming from all the new multifamily development). This would be a better restriction than imposing more impediments on
17:04 ben_vulpes local long-time residents ability to move around our neighborhood–it has become difficult enough, already!
17:04 ben_vulpes ah it's hilarious
17:05 ben_vulpes the "get the state involved to fix the states own mistakes" thing needs a doing. again.

19:41 pete_dushenski "One London-based startup, called Everledger, is developing blockchain tools for the diamond industry, designed to log information on ethical sourcing, insurance claims, and theft investigations, associated with detailed digital descriptions of the valuable stones. CEO Leanne Kemp: "You would be able to identify whether those diamonds are truly certified or not certified," " << so like deedbot but less useful so

19:42 mircea_popescu who the fuck gives a shit about "sourcing" of diamonds outside a very cultish narrow segment of bored middle class art majors/social scientards ?

20:01 BingoBoingo In other news, apparently reddit has had its own drug market for some time https://www.reddit.com/r/Steroidsourcetalk
20:01 assbot reddit.com: over 18? ... ( http://bit.ly/1LKcgJs )
20:10 mircea_popescu steroids are still legal otc right ?
20:10 mircea_popescu or notrly
20:12 BingoBoingo In USia schedule III controlled, but because hippies dun like them rarely prosecuted outside of sports
20:12 BingoBoingo Also Maybe VW really was evil: "If you're concerned about such estrogens, you may want to maintain a safe distance from trucks on the highway. That's because of research findings that diesel-fuel exhaust contains chemicals called alkylphenols, which interact with cellular estrogen receptors to exert potent estrogenic activity.3 Diesel exhaust particles have previously been linked to lung cancer, allergic rhinitis and asthma."
20:13 mircea_popescu aha
20:13 BingoBoingo Basically one of those US laws that helps Mexico's economy at the expense of its own
20:13 mircea_popescu i thought pharma was mostly india
20:13 pete_dushenski BingoBoingo wrapped in nafta shell, usually
20:13 BingoBoingo Pharma mostly is, bu someone's gotta get the money at retail
20:14 mircea_popescu tru
20:15 BingoBoingo Steroids are the one US controlled class of drugs safer to get off of derpy website than derpy darknet market in the popular opinion
20:16 pete_dushenski and yes, diesel exhaust fumes are gnarly. long reported to diminish quality of urban air quality. but reports were dismissed as not being 'politically correct' so not really that true. like led lightbulbs.
20:16 pete_dushenski -1 quality
20:17 pete_dushenski so is vw evil for finding a loophole ?
20:17 pete_dushenski are bankers and their dark derivative pools evil for doing the same ?
20:17 BingoBoingo pete_dushenski: No, VW is evil for pumping estrogenic chemicals in the air and cultivating SJWhales
20:17 mircea_popescu yes, not doing what fucktard club expects you to do = individuality = evil.
20:18 pete_dushenski BingoBoingo which they couldn't have done if 'carbon' wasn't the only thing idjits cared about
20:18 pete_dushenski 'co2/km' to be more accurate
20:18 mircea_popescu i still don't even know wtf they mean by "carbon"
20:18 mircea_popescu is it actually carbon dioxide and they just dunno what side their ass is buttered on ?
20:19 pete_dushenski it's this metric and this alone that allowed diesels into the 21st century. outside of farms.
20:19 BingoBoingo Diesel's kinda always been one of those things that's cool when you have it and sucks when other people do
20:19 punkman mircea_popescu: co2 yes
20:19 mircea_popescu but how do you know this punkman ?
20:19 pete_dushenski BingoBoingo not THAT cool to have, is it ?
20:19 mircea_popescu i mean, not disputing for a second it seems like a reasonable interpretation of their verbiage. the problem is that it's the verbiage of patently insae folk.
20:19 mircea_popescu for all you know they mean nitric acid.
20:20 pete_dushenski or methane
20:20 mircea_popescu maybe they mean "any gas with specific gravity over 28"
20:20 BingoBoingo pete_dushenski: Sure it is. Diesel 1977 Hilux with half the body rusted off > Aluminum gasoline F-150 King Ranch
20:20 pete_dushenski what're you, isis ?
20:21 mircea_popescu no srsly, all cars i owed back when i owed any were pretty much diesel.
20:21 punkman mircea_popescu: well sure, the derps might not know what "carbon" actually refers to
20:21 mircea_popescu 90s is what made the diesel possible. meanwhile oil refineries kicked it out
20:21 BingoBoingo pete_dushenski: Fine, Diesel Chevy Kodiak dressed like a car is cooler than gasoline truck, even when diesel truck dressed liek a car carries Obola
20:22 pete_dushenski BingoBoingo the presidental gmc. aha.
20:22 pete_dushenski mircea_popescu how did refineries kick out diesel ?
20:22 pete_dushenski or why ?
20:22 mircea_popescu you understand what diesel runs of right ?
20:23 mircea_popescu off*
20:23 pete_dushenski hm. not really.
20:23 mircea_popescu yeah. ok. all fuel is produced through fractional distillation of oil.
20:23 pete_dushenski ah this, yes.
20:23 mircea_popescu this is exactly what it sounds like : oil is a mix of carbohydrates, you sort this by mass and cut it into slices.
20:24 mircea_popescu specific technological considerations i am not prepared to discuss in detail made so there was a huge and apparently stable glut of diesel fuel on the market.
20:24 mircea_popescu this lasted for almost 3 decades, peaking in the 90s.
20:24 mircea_popescu it's gone now, mostly because newer refineries slice the column differently
20:25 pete_dushenski diesel is one of the heavier layers iirc
20:25 mircea_popescu (basically, you're burnhing the diesel as gasoline and have no fucking idea)\
20:25 mircea_popescu well, heavier than gas yes.
20:25 mircea_popescu so really, it's a case of derps follow technology while pretending to lend it.
20:25 mircea_popescu if the glut continued, it'd be "fuck you and sniff diesel".
20:26 mircea_popescu once the thing resolved they can hate diesel or beg for it, it's done.
20:26 mircea_popescu pretending to lead it*
20:26 mircea_popescu for that matter, retarded buffalo survival hunters imagined trhey're "directing" the herds.
20:26 mircea_popescu and dune is chock full of "worm riding". because yeah, totally.
20:26 mircea_popescu brb i gotta pilot planet earth a little.
20:29 pete_dushenski then vw's (and several other, mostly german, automakers') pivot to electric propulsion seems like a way to absorb the laptop battery capacity that's in excess from kids buying smartphones and only smartphones.
20:30 punkman that's a bit of a stretch
20:30 pete_dushenski maybe that's a stretch given that i'm unsure how many laptops + spare batteries were sold 'at peak' vs. now
20:30 * pete_dushenski goes to check data
20:30 BingoBoingo <mircea_popescu> (basically, you're burnhing the diesel as gasoline and have no fucking idea)\ << You break it into smaller gasoline hydrocarbons with heat and pressure
20:30 mircea_popescu right.
20:31 BingoBoingo Still fractions the same way, but diesel and even tar fractions get cooked into gasoline
20:31 mircea_popescu it's totally not a case of "if you're willing to put 15% ethanol in there anyway, like fucking hruschov wanted, fuck you and shut up, we'll paint it blue and you can pretend it's fine"
20:31 BingoBoingo Agricultural diesel here is dyed pink
20:33 BingoBoingo Long haul trucks here often get pulled over by the "Secretary of State (of Illinois)" police to check for the dye.
20:33 mircea_popescu aha. i just meant, whatever, stick a label on it call it good.
20:33 BingoBoingo lol, Nah. Real bueracracy is way ahead of you
20:34 mircea_popescu lol. i'm an amateur huh ?
20:34 BingoBoingo You think you know how bad USia is...
20:35 punkman BingoBoingo: what other diesel colors do you have?
20:36 BingoBoingo Well, there's the standard clear to yellow-ish. Some tanks produce a bit a blue-green tinge because infected...
20:39 BingoBoingo The pink dye though is because it is exempt from the highway fund taxes
