ben_vulpes https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/554023312033341440 << engineering? [00:21]
assbot /alankerlin Hydraulics are usually closed, but that adds mass vs short acting open systems. F9 fins only work for 4 mins. We were ~10% off. [00:21]
ben_vulpes if you have to carry the shit use on the way down, why... [00:21]
ben_vulpes perhaps the add'l costs of sealed systems? [00:21]
ben_vulpes grid fins are interesting. [00:22]
decimation actually if the rocket lands 'face up', won't the fins be facing the 'wrong way'? [00:22]
decimation seems like you would want vectored thrust [00:22]
ben_vulpes these fins are at the top of the stage. [00:22]

decimation probably solid fuel [00:25]
ben_vulpes decimation: "probably" << based on what? [00:25]
ben_vulpes SRBs are not (afaik) extinguishable, relightable or throttleable. [00:26]
ben_vulpes this leaves you with vectoring which is...not really enough for the task at hand. [00:26]
decimation from your article: "In September 2013, SpaceX successfully fired boosters as the rocket fell to Earth, slowing it down so it could land softly." [00:26]
decimation so I interpret 'boosters' as 'external retro packs' [00:27]
decimation but the guy who wrote it could be a 'tard [00:27]
ben_vulpes decimation: which link? [00:27]
decimation the businessinsider article [00:27]

decimation lol. yeah I wish I knew wtf this 'leaking fluid' stuff means [00:34]
ben_vulpes decimation: i don't think it's "leaking" so much as it's not a traditional "closed" hydraulic system. [00:35]
ben_vulpes cursory research indicates that pressurization during powered flight comes from the onboard turbopump and that when not under powered flight there's some pressure reservoir. [00:35]
ben_vulpes turns out, pv=nrt is tricky in practice. [00:35]
ben_vulpes 10%! [00:36]
decimation okay so there's a pre-pressurized tank that is at the top of the rocket, it runs out of pressure after pissing out its fluid [00:36]

asciilifeform ben_vulpes: mr mold's interest in programming language design, somehow, did not extend to any attempt at self-hosting the apparatus. the bulk of his code, iirc, is in straight c. [00:45]

I was hooking up with this guy I regularly hook up with since the break up, but I’m not really into him and just kinda want him to satisfy me u know? So we were having sex like usual…. But then he turned me around and began penetrating me from behind “doggy style.” He kept going. Not ONCE did he ask if it was ok to change positions. What should I do [01:33]
mircea_popescu ??! I don’t want him to hate me because I have a crush on his hot friend, but rape is not ok. I let him continue and we both came, but it’s natural to have sensations even when raped. I can’t even think straight anymore idk what to do. Thinking about posting his Facebook here." [01:33]
mircea_popescu problem with idiots is that even middlingly executed parody is indistinguishable from their actual creeds. [01:34]
asciilifeform 'Twice the recoil of the 9mm for 10% more muzzle energy.' << physics??? [01:35]
mircea_popescu energy is mv**2 ; impules is mv [01:35]

decimation of course, esteemed professors in USG law explain how this is good: Ms. Lobel said. “But it’s a good result in that there has been much media attention to the illegality of such retention practices, real monetary consequences and promises to cease all such practices in the future.”" [01:41]

assbot The trial is going in the favor of defense and they are panicking so we can't give them a reason to anonymize the jury. No signs. No signs. [02:05]
mircea_popescu why is she dumb enough to play ball lmao. [02:06]
mircea_popescu let them "anonymize" the jury. da fuck do you care. [02:06]
mircea_popescu not like you're going to do anything whatsoever BECAUSE of the usg. [02:06]
mircea_popescu never again. do what you will, and fuck them. [02:06]
decimation interesting, the march 15 euro future on CME is at $1.16, with a $1.16 call at $0.0248 and put at $0.0195 [02:06]
mircea_popescu expecting more volatility ? [02:07]
* WolfGoethe has quit (Quit: My MacBook Pro has gone to sleep. ZZZzzz…) [02:07]
asciilifeform lol, they let the jury home ? [02:09]
decimation I guess the simple call-put analysis would imply a future increase in price [02:11]
decimation but that was the case a few weeks ago, and the future has fallen [02:11]
decimation I suppose the simple (call-put) analysis ignores the prevailing interest rates in each currency, which would also affect the future price [02:13]

asciilifeform mircea_popescu: re: buffett's textile plants: i once worked with a greybeard - a former director of a research lab at, iirc, kodak (many years ago.) he was reduced to programming by ill fortune, age, disease. told many stories, but concerning textiles, that his laboratory was built inside an abandoned textiles plant, one of a great many in the american south. [02:16]
BingoBoingo asciilifeform: It seems so. [02:16]
asciilifeform mircea_popescu: they were abruptly hollowed out and made good 'floors' for remaining concerns - pharma, call centres, etc. [02:17]
mircea_popescu yep [02:17]
mircea_popescu it's a fine way to gut a well established entreprise. [02:17]
mircea_popescu "revolutionize" it. [02:17]
decimation kodak is an excellent example of a company selling off its economically viable business for no reason [02:18]
mircea_popescu that's not really the mechanism here tho. [02:18]
mircea_popescu anyway, if ever there was a social experiment to illustrate just how little computer geeks understand, bitcoin's it. [02:19]
mircea_popescu all sorts of things seem obvious by simile to people with no experience and not much intellectual curiosity. [02:19]
* asciilifeform isn't certain that 'computer geeks' - as commonly understood - were yet ever involved with bitcoin in appreciable numbers [02:20]
mircea_popescu yet somehow their inability to score girlfriends or be the life of the party does not even begin to hint to them that perhaps they're ill prepared to judge economic phenomena. [02:20]
mircea_popescu dunning kruger is not reserved to idiots. it's just another name for the aspie's sufferance. [02:20]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform i mean mostly the ruby and web2.0 "we r code" bunch. [02:21]
mircea_popescu like gavin, or the rest. the million people that's a million extra hands on github [02:21]
asciilifeform the programmatory equivalent of chinese textile labourers ? [02:21]
mircea_popescu them exactly. [02:21]
mircea_popescu it's what computer geek means, these days. "shy, socially awkward teenager that doesn't know how to use computers, in spite of spending a lot of time with them" [02:22]
decimation so, the chinese peasant is a textile hobbyist in the way that the 'computer geek' is a programming hobbyist? [02:22]
mircea_popescu quite. [02:22]
decimation yeah, I can see that. note that this wave of 'volunteers' makes life very difficult for actual pros [02:23]
mircea_popescu they probably learn more useful & important stuff playing counterstrike than mashing the kbd for code. [02:23]
asciilifeform except that cloth unquestionably exists and is useful. [02:23]
mircea_popescu decimation oh, it's noted. [02:23]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform cloth unquestionably exists ; so exists bad code. [02:23]
mircea_popescu that it's useful... depends. [02:23]

BingoBoingo Thanks TomServo, been chewing on that one too long prolly. [11:54]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform lol always great to read the comedy gold classics every time us policy backfires massively. [11:54]
mircea_popescu BingoBoingo " So far it hasn't been enforced due to its extreme vagary, but in the unstable environment of applied United States law. Not with the sudden resurgence of threats to invoke the All Writs Act reentering the public discourse in late 2014." [11:58]

* Quanttek has quit (Ping timeout: 264 seconds) [11:59]
BingoBoingo mircea_popescu: Just rewrote that sentence, hazard of multi session writing. [12:00]
mircea_popescu "Expenditure for the year comprised of 3 totals as some costs could not be settled in BTC or were preferably settled in XMR. Our expenditure was 190.513492 BTC + 1 891.31 XMR + US $5 732.80, which is around the 212 BTC mark. Thus the shortfall of 164.5 BTC was paid out of the Core Team's own pockets in the hopes of recovering the funds later on (ie. just in case anyone was wondering, not only do the core team not get p [12:03]
mircea_popescu aid at all, but we've put a significant amount of funds into Monero)." [12:03]
mircea_popescu this would explain the shockingly large 50 btc donations figure for an altcoin i guess. [12:04]
mircea_popescu 35 weeks of development (245 days) since Monero was inherited by the Core Team 594 separate commits << inherited by whom ? how ? if that inherited had linked to a gpg signed testament... [12:05]
davout mircea_popescu: maybe in the sense that it was inherited as a messy bytecoin code base [12:05]
mircea_popescu i guess. [12:06]
* mircea_popescu hated that "illustrative" graph too. fucking sleek but meaningless graphics. [12:06]
mircea_popescu Testing infrastructure consists of a Mac Mini hosted at MacStadium, as well as a beefy testing box hosted at Hetzner in Germany, on which we have a number of VMs for the various operating systems and variants we target. >> much better. [12:07]
assbot [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 14350 @ 0.00045699 = 6.5578 BTC [-] [12:07]
davout i was personnally quite impressed by the "let's start by a financial report" [12:08]
mircea_popescu ok, sure. not bad that. [12:08]
mircea_popescu "OpenAlias is different. Not only does it "square Zooko's triangle" " << the entire discusison of that thing (my mind went, ok, let's try and poke one particular thing and see" is nice and all for the zooko discussion, but a) it's not clear to me what's the relation to open alias corporation if any [12:09]
mircea_popescu (when what looks like a term of art has basically two apparently divorced meanings via google, it's suspicious if they don't seem mutually aware) [12:09]
mircea_popescu in any case it'd benefit from an explanation of itself. [12:10]
mircea_popescu "With the two attacks we thwarted in 2014, the GUI development had to take a bit of a backseat." << in depth description ? links ? somehow for me to evaluate if they're due to the world being full of idiots (ddos ?) or the devs being idiots (we were using ruby!!1) [12:11]
mircea_popescu Hey! This page will never end! Just keep on scrolling to see more posts! < lol busted. anyway! i guess it goes back i nthe pile that has been holding "open transactyions" since about 2011. [12:12]
mircea_popescu "And for three years it worked. But on Thursday the Swiss suddenly gave up. We don’t know exactly why; nobody I know believes the official explanation, that it’s a response to a weakening euro. " << ha-ha. everyone you DON'T know knows the explanation. it was published on fucking trilema for crissakes, not even as a news item. [12:14]
mircea_popescu that what the us considers important thinkers have no access to basic data, because they're isolated on a WoI, should speak volumes. [12:15]
TomServo In glancing through the comments on Krugman's piece, he seems to be getting pretty well lambasted there. [12:17]
mircea_popescu nah, it didn't happen. [12:17]
mircea_popescu those people just failed to "enter the looking glass world" when "everybody" did. [12:17]
mircea_popescu they were left on this other side with nobody, and putin. [12:18]
mircea_popescu it's kind-of remarkable (not really) just how self-labeling stupidity actually is. the difference between trying to "explain yourself" as an idiot and simply wearing a lot of large "hey everyone, i'm the idiot!" signs and tags is hard to notice. [12:18]
mircea_popescu "So let’s learn from the Swiss. They’ve been careful; they’ve maintained sound money for generations. And now they’re paying the price." [12:20]
mircea_popescu epic. [12:20]

mircea_popescu in that it drastically limits the pool of potential attackers and attackable material. [17:29]

asciilifeform what is with reddit and the 'tipping' thing? is everyone 'roleplaying' a waiter, a bootblack ? [19:39]
mircea_popescu on reddit ? yes. [19:39]
asciilifeform what's the appeal ? i find it hard to picture any of them amassing any kind of serious coin this way [19:40]
danielpbarron they feel like they are doing something [19:40]
asciilifeform or is it a kind of chumpatronic acid trip, like lotteries [19:40]
danielpbarron like johnny appleseed or something [19:40]
danielpbarron johnny millibit [19:41]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform no im pretty sure he has it. "they feel like they're doing something". much like their education. [19:47]
mircea_popescu not learning anything, but hey, they've gone to college. [19:47]
mircea_popescu same here : not doing anything, but hey, they're "involved" with bitcoin. [19:47]
asciilifeform the part that's puzzling is - a classical cargo cult has 'the airplane flies', or an analogous prayed-for outcome [19:48]
asciilifeform what do the reddit folks want ? [19:48]
mircea_popescu "change the world" [19:49]
mircea_popescu "innovate" "revolutionize" [19:49]
mircea_popescu practically, everything turning to shit. [19:49]
mircea_popescu also, if they never hear a dissenting opinion ever again that'll be soon enough. [19:49]
asciilifeform the earlier crowed of 'early adopting' cultist weirdos made considerably more sense to me. they just wanted 'to get rich,' i.e., to quit their jobs [19:49]

artifexd speaking of which, did artifexd follow mircea_popescu's prescription and use a hacked gpg for 'gossip' ? << No. I'm using go's openpgp code. However, I'm structuring the code so that I can later add the option do the crypto via a shell out to gpg. Then you can use whatever version of gpg your heart desires. [20:24]
asciilifeform go? [20:25]
artifexd Yes [20:25]
asciilifeform and shell-out ?!?! [20:25]
artifexd Yes [20:25]
asciilifeform that's deadly slow [20:25]
asciilifeform per packet ?!?! [20:25]
artifexd The shell out will be slow. Yup. [20:25]
* asciilifeform will not be using this horror, will run his own client. [20:26]
* asciilifeform is rather sad to learn what he just learned. [20:28]
davout he just said it would be an option... [20:28]
asciilifeform davout: read again [20:29]
artifexd read what again? davout is correct. [20:29]
davout "later add the option do the crypto via a shell out to gpg" [20:29]
asciilifeform davout: 1) his gizmo is in 'go', a google-proprietary turdlang 2) he's using its built-in crypto routines 3) if you don't like this, have fun waiting 300-500msec/packet using the shell-callout [20:29]
asciilifeform mircea_popescu ^ knew this ? [20:30]
artifexd I'm not going to write in lisp. [20:30]
asciilifeform i wouldn't either [20:30]
artifexd He said "write it in whatever you want as long as it compiles on linux" [20:30]
davout is go proprietary? [20:30]
asciilifeform the original rfc also mentioned specifically use of gpg cryptoroutines [20:31]
artifexd Yeah. Hence the shell out. [20:31]
davout iirc it said 'steal some gpg code' can be wrong here tho [20:31]
asciilifeform 'go' is a turd that i will not have on my systems. [20:32]
asciilifeform along with 'java', 'c#', etc. [20:32]
davout rfc sez "Steal gpg code - any version prior to the Snowden defection" [20:32]
artifexd I could write it in C or C++ but cross compiling is an absolute nightmare that I choose not to put up with. [20:32]
asciilifeform cross-compiling ? [20:33]
asciilifeform why? [20:33]
artifexd Because I'm writing it. [20:33]
asciilifeform yes, but why cross? [20:33]
asciilifeform what are you developing on? a vax ? [20:33]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform i have no idea, it's an open spec. [20:33]

mircea_popescu asciilifeform what's the problem anyway, you weren't going to run his binaries ? no os compiler for it ? [20:34]
asciilifeform i don't run other folks' binaries. [20:35]
artifexd go compiles on the big os's. Windows/Linux/OSX/BSD [20:35]
mircea_popescu right. [20:35]
asciilifeform and i fucking hate turdlangs. [20:35]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform can you be specific ? [20:35]
mircea_popescu i know about as much of go as i know about hawaii. [20:35]
asciilifeform mircea_popescu: it's a google-proprietary language similar to 'd.' [20:35]
asciilifeform mircea_popescu: nominally open-source, but in the same sense as apple's 'darwin' kernel - that is, nobody who isn't paid, reads it [20:36]
mircea_popescu so c is a gnu proprietary language ? what's a proprietary language ? [20:36]
asciilifeform mircea_popescu: massive megalith of vendor libs, that one is expected to use [20:36]
mircea_popescu so it has open compiler but not open libs ? [20:36]
artifexd All the libs are open [20:36]
asciilifeform it's all, theoretically, open [20:36]
mircea_popescu wouldn't one expect the libs also compile ?! [20:36]
asciilifeform but developed exclusively, afaik, for x86 and arm [20:37]
mircea_popescu ... [20:37]
mircea_popescu what else is there ?! [20:37]
asciilifeform the free world. [20:37]
mircea_popescu ... i run x86 ? don't you ? [20:37]
asciilifeform i run virtually every arch i know of. [20:37]
mircea_popescu and right now ? [20:37]
asciilifeform 86 [20:38]
asciilifeform but would like the option of getting off it. esp. for particular applications. [20:38]
mircea_popescu so what do you want to run it on ? [20:38]
asciilifeform as discussed a few days ago, i recently installed a mips64 router. [20:38]
asciilifeform would like, for example, to run on that. [20:38]
mircea_popescu mips gossipd ? [20:38]
asciilifeform incidentally everything that runs on it, is built on it. [20:38]
asciilifeform yes. [20:38]
mircea_popescu that pretty much means c - only you realise ? [20:39]
asciilifeform yes. [20:39]
asciilifeform it is in fact possible to write correct 'c', you know. [20:39]
mircea_popescu well you know it occurs to me it'd be a lot more productive if you go in early with a "hey, could it please be c ? i would like to run this on mips" discussion than a late paniucwhen guy picks whatever he happened to pick. [20:39]
mircea_popescu at least it's not ruby. [20:39]
asciilifeform i didn't commission the thing, lol [20:39]
davout mircea_popescu: what's so wrong with ruby anyway? [20:40]
asciilifeform was sorta trying to keep my dirty hands off it [20:40]
mircea_popescu apparently go is acutally used on mips ? [20:40]
asciilifeform it quite possibly can be made to run on bigengian mips [20:40]

davout i was about to add 'specifically?' :D [20:41]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform so other people like other languages, big whoop. [20:42]
asciilifeform it isn't simply an 'other language', it's a massive toolchain created and maintained by a usg satrap. [20:42]
asciilifeform and used scarcely anywhere else [20:43]
asciilifeform i know of no reason to put one lick of trust in its crypto libs, for example. [20:43]
mircea_popescu well, conversely, now they get to be reviewed. [20:43]
asciilifeform by whom ? [20:44]
mircea_popescu apparently first ever. [20:44]
mircea_popescu by you lol [20:44]
asciilifeform nope. [20:44]
mircea_popescu you won't run it or read it ? [20:44]
asciilifeform i'll run own client. (will tweak it for compatibility with the rest of you, when i have a little time.) and invite anyone who wishes, to read. [20:44]
mircea_popescu so basically you want to write your own c variant ? [20:45]
asciilifeform i mostly have. [20:45]
mircea_popescu well so why do you want him to also write it in c ? go is a better choice neh ? [20:45]
asciilifeform better choice ?! [20:46]
mircea_popescu well yes. that way it gets implemented in two languages. [20:46]
* asciilifeform was simply floored with mindfuck that anyone would choose google's turdlang for a piece of critical infrastructure, and could not resist ringing the bell [20:48]
mircea_popescu but i still dunno wtf is wrong with it. so, it has open compiler. it has open libraries. [20:49]
mircea_popescu supposedly nobody ever read these [20:49]
mircea_popescu well... guess what ? nobody ever read fucking linux, either. [20:49]

mircea_popescu anyway. guy can use whatever crypto routines he's comfortable with, on the general understanding that he's read them and is actually comfortable with them [20:56]
mircea_popescu as opposed to... well... it's what the build pulled in. [20:56]
asciilifeform i'll save the rest for when artifexd posts his apparatus. [20:56]
asciilifeform don't want to discourage people - but also can't see wtf is wrong with using same environment gpg was written and built in. [20:56]
mircea_popescu seems a reasonable approach tbh, but generally people should free to use whatever they wish to use. [20:57]
artifexd How could the crypto routines be compromised in a way that would matter? Weak key generation? gossipd doesn't generate keys. Weak rng during encryption? I pick the rng (and can offer an option for you to supply your own). Encrypting a message with an "extra" key so peet can read it? That should be easy to see in the code. [20:57]
asciilifeform doesn't generate keys?! [20:58]
mircea_popescu artifexd weak encryption altogether. [20:58]
asciilifeform where do the ephemeral keys come from [20:58]
asciilifeform or the blockcipher symmetrics? [20:58]
mircea_popescu artifexd not to be taken lightly this. a lot can be compromised in gossipd crypto. [20:58]
artifexd I'm talking about the identity keys. [20:58]
asciilifeform them - sure. but they are not the only keys. [20:59]
mircea_popescu even if you use rsa-only keys, you can rsa-encrypt a message so that it's easier to break but still decryptable by destination. [20:59]
mircea_popescu numerous attacks/approaches for this purpose. [20:59]
asciilifeform this is very easy to achieve. [21:00]
artifexd Can you do it? [21:00]
artifexd Can you explain to me how *I* could do it? [21:00]
artifexd Point me to education? [21:00]
asciilifeform artifexd: certainly. search for term of art 'kleptography.' [21:00]

mircea_popescu Using Cryptography Against Cryptography. Adam Young and Moti Yung. [21:01]
asciilifeform artifexd: i recommend a particular monograph, 'malicious crypto' by a. l. young & moti m. young. [21:01]
mircea_popescu hah [21:01]
asciilifeform lol mircea_popescu inb4 [21:01]
asciilifeform artifexd: well-thumbed copy of this right here on my desk. beautiful book, if you skip all the parts that must have been thrown in to give it a sensational/saleable 'seekoority' flavour (vignette about h4xx0rz shuffling floppies around in ch.1, mostly) [21:02]
asciilifeform artifexd: the most basic 'kleptography' takes the form of slipping bits of key into variables which are normally random. but there are more subtle channels. [21:03]
asciilifeform (term of art 'covert channel') [21:03]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform you got a link to that hacking course thing that was crypto oriented ? [21:03]

kakobrekla updated the welcome message (took out gribble part) and removed ddos warning , i think its gone again? [23:17]
artifexd Snowden worked at the NSA until June 2013. GPG 1.4.13 was committed on 2012-12-20. GPG 1.4.14 was committed on 2013-07-25.d [23:18]
artifexd mircea_popescu: 1.4.13 is acceptable and 1.4.14 is not, correct? [23:18]

kakobrekla hows that ? [23:19]
assbot [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 37657 @ 0.00043023 = 16.2012 BTC [+] [23:19]
kakobrekla snowden broke gpg somehow ? [23:19]
artifexd I believe the point is that Snowden didn't say gpg was compromised. However it could have been compromised since he left. Only mircea_popescu knows mircea_popescu's motivation for that spec though. [23:20]
asciilifeform there is always the option of actually studying the changelog. [23:21]
asciilifeform not a bad idea in any case [23:21]
artifexd That is what I'm looking at right now. [23:21]

mircea_popescu artifexd it's not a strict thing, more like a general consideration. i doubt they managed to react fast enough to do much to 4.14 [23:31]
mircea_popescu anyway, the point is that gpg was widely used for the snowden leaks. this indicates that a major player trusted it, and was right in so doing ; and suggests a major target for that reason alone. [23:32]
kakobrekla meh snowden leaks could just as well be disinfo [23:33]
mircea_popescu i know for a fact the usg did not know what was in the leaks until their press agents told em [23:33]
mircea_popescu anything could be anything. but my arbitrary sez no. [23:33]
* kakobrekla does the sexygingers dance [23:33]
asciilifeform re: disinfo: http://imgur.com/dXtnSoJ [23:37]
assbot disinfo - Imgur ... ( http://bit.ly/14LFDN3 ) [23:37]
asciilifeform seems like pretty obvious case thereof. [23:37]
undata asciilifeform: apparently this google device on my desk is impenetrable. who knew [23:40]
undata I'll stop worrying when it automatically opts me back into location history tracking [23:41]
asciilifeform if that slide deck is genuine, i've a bridge to sell. [23:43]
mircea_popescu zrtp bs. [23:53]
asciilifeform incidentally, z is for zimmerman. [23:53]
asciilifeform who, by all indications, was swallowed some time ago. [23:53]
mircea_popescu myea [23:54]
asciilifeform in my diseased mind, the parsimonious hypothesis is that there is actually an nsa where that deck was genuinely crapped out by earnest monkeys who believe every word. [23:56]
asciilifeform (and that there is another one, where it wasn't. but i think we did this one before) [23:56]
* asciilifeform would like to see the -other- slide deck. [23:56]
asciilifeform or perhaps -those- folks don't go in for 'powerpoint.' [23:57]
asciilifeform mircea_popescu: do you find it interesting that, despite the legend of snowden having used gpg, we have no signatures from him pertaining to any of the material ? [23:58]
asciilifeform he could easily, if he wished, demonstrate what the genuine material was, and what has been doctored or made up wholesale. [23:58]
asciilifeform this is assuming that we have a reasonably certain copy of his pubkey pre-dating the events. which, iirc, we do. [23:59]
