13:18 mircea_popescu they also have a rule about bombing rogue states that steal $5bn out of people's wealth to pay cronies.

13:20 mircea_popescu in perhaps related, perhaps interesting to amateur historian sources, here's the 1950 act that confiscated various houses of "the enemies of the regime" in Romania : http://www.juris.ro/legislatie-detaliu/DECRET-nr-92-din-19-aprilie-1950-pentru-nationalizarea-unor-imobile/
13:21 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: how were the particular kulaks picked ?
13:21 mircea_popescu perhaps notable for the device : a) the ~rights~ without any encumberances of real estate named goes on to new owner ; b) anyone currently living there is now renting from new owner, no matter what title they thought they had ; c) anyone fucking with this gets 10 years hard labour.
13:21 mircea_popescu asciilifeform judging by the fact that 99% of it is bucharest, it's entirely certain they were picked by personal invidy.
13:22 mircea_popescu otherwise, bucharest scarcely accounted for a fifth of the country's real estate ; and most of it was shit anyway when compared with the 3-5 century old stuff in transylvania.
13:23 mircea_popescu anyway, by the workings of that thing, if you took out a loan + mortgage to buy a house ; the house did go on to be owned by X, but you kept the mortgage.
13:24 asciilifeform we have this right here in usaschwitz, if house confiscated as part of 'dope warz' (requires no conviction in any court) chumper ~also~ gets to keep the mortgage.
13:24 mircea_popescu the principle is fundamental to any such activity. the usg will obviously still owe on all its obligations, such as social security. it will however not have any right to perceive any income. and anyone involved is personally responsible - with their own fat, personally - of the exact execution of this.
13:25 mircea_popescu asciilifeform yeah, gotta make sure one expropriates the socialists in the proper manner such is done. ie, as they themselves do it.

14:08 a111 Logged on 2016-08-06 14:22 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform what's your call, because the matter is quite acute : is it a safer system to demand 8kb entropy/second and hash 12 times ? or to demand say 128bytes/second and hash 768 times ?
14:08 asciilifeform holy fuck why
14:08 asciilifeform ?
14:08 PeterL would be better than just reusing the one otp over a bunch of times?
14:09 asciilifeform no one suggested reusing an otp !!
14:09 asciilifeform the idiot reservation is the next door
14:09 PeterL maybe I misunderstood what MP was suggesting?
14:09 asciilifeform quite definitely.
14:09 PeterL ok, nevermind then
14:10 asciilifeform PeterL: mircea_popescu's original suggestion was to transfer properly random messages, via rsa, continuously, thereby keeping a supply of otp warm on both sides
14:10 asciilifeform which is then tapped into when actually sending payloads.
14:11 asciilifeform quite like what, e.g., gpg does, but in ~batches~ ahead of time.
14:24 PeterL Anybody else watch olympic opening ceremony? There was about a minute of fun brazillian dancing and hours of boringness and a stupid tribute to global warming. Bleh.

14:57 mircea_popescu $up dfgg_
14:57 deedbot dfgg_ voiced for 30 minutes.
15:01 mircea_popescu PeterL seems pretty wasteful neh?
15:03 PeterL wasteful to pass N bytes of otp for each N bytes of message?
15:03 mircea_popescu PeterL reusing an otp straight makes bothering with the whole scheme kinda pointless ; hashing an old otp to generate a new otp is perhaps dubious, but in widespread use. (it's more or less what a "deterministic" wallet is, for instance)
15:05 mircea_popescu asciilifeform you understand that if you never hash them, you might as well not use them at all and simply rsa the actual message back and forth. as appealing as the idea is in theory, it's not workable in practice because even with a game as relaxed as eulora, it'll still be too laggy.
15:06 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: 'rsa the actual message back and forth' << not same. for instance, if you have the pump going at all times, it can be cache-local.
15:07 mircea_popescu yeah there are some advantages. but half second is too much to delay a game message for encryption, and you won't be able to fit two passes in .5 s
15:07 asciilifeform the only aspect of rsa that actually takes palpable time on a modern box is key gen.
15:08 mircea_popescu got any benchmarks ?
15:09 asciilifeform not handily.
15:09 mircea_popescu worth checking this, if you have an actual c implementation anywhere.
15:09 asciilifeform i'ma put this in the pipe.
15:10 mircea_popescu anyway : the rsa/otp scheme is also bw-wasting, up to a factor of 2 if no hashing, or otherwise depending on how many hash passes, with 20 it's just 1.05 ie 5% more bw etc.
15:10 asciilifeform incidentally gmp (what ~everybody, at least gpg users, use) is braindamaged in a certain important way
15:10 asciilifeform i.e. it allocates.
15:10 mircea_popescu myeah.
15:10 mircea_popescu there's also a subtle point here, which is : that if we indeed use a otp-and-hash scheme, this in fact puts whatever hash scheme we use to work.
15:11 mircea_popescu ie, it'd be silly to correctly engineer this system in the sense of minimalism, as we're more interested in it testing our tools.
15:12 mircea_popescu afaik nobody to date deployed keccak on any sort of large scale anything for any purpose over any duration. unless someone else knows ?
15:16 mircea_popescu (and for the governance-minded log reader : yeah, the above is literally me in my capacity as ceo making a strategic choice that puts the best interest of shareholders second, after the interest of the republic. it literally subsidizes republican research at the expense of s.mg's bottom line. not only is this common in my practice - i hold it to be both required and unavoidable, and if "that's not how you'd run a corp" you're
15:16 mircea_popescu either an ashole or an idiot. but in any case if oyu don't like it you can get stuffed. bitbet pays for miner cartelisation detection and minigame pays for hash research and so on and so forth.)
15:22 asciilifeform the unfortunate bit is that 'hash research' is presently not even yet at alchemy level, and stuck somewhere between haruspicy and astrology.
↖
15:23 mircea_popescu it won't get out of it unless and until we start putting it in things.
15:23 mircea_popescu at least that's my best guess atm.
15:23 asciilifeform eh folks have been 'putting it in things' since '80s
15:23 mircea_popescu management ; an inexact science.
15:23 mircea_popescu name one.
15:23 asciilifeform mircea_popescu knows that this is not how crypto strength is established.
15:23 mircea_popescu i do. but it is how people are enticed to read code , and think about what they read.
15:24 asciilifeform (the depressing part is that the way it ~is~ established, is claude shannon's otp paper, and it happened exactly ONCE, afaik, to date.)
15:24 asciilifeform afaik we do not have any theoretical support whatsoever for the strength of any known hash algo.
15:24 asciilifeform just as for block ciphers.
15:25 mircea_popescu possibly not.
