mircea_popescu "Recently it was announced that a coalition of government agencies took control of many Tor hidden services. We were as surprised as most of you." [01:06]
mircea_popescu what the next line should be ? "we suck, and we're stepping down. sorry we couldn't do what we wanted to." [01:06]
mircea_popescu what the next line actually is ? " Unfortunately, we have very little information about how this was accomplished, but we do have some thoughts which we want to share." [01:06]

mircea_popescu "You'll find the core developers are detached and very different to their users. As a developer of software myself I would find it disheartening if the bulk of my users were jerks like /r/bitcoin." [02:39]
mircea_popescu look at that, lol. [02:39]
mircea_popescu it's visible from something awful! [02:40]

mircea_popescu there's some super-paleo people who eat roadkill [02:50]
BingoBoingo Sure. I mean the fresh one's are probably safe, but possessing one without a tag for it... Probably safer to drive around with a trunk full of cocaine. [02:53]
BingoBoingo In terms of the legal implications. [02:53]
BingoBoingo "Conservation Police" here get to do warrantless searches. [02:54]
mircea_popescu o rly ? [02:54]
mircea_popescu prison 4 lyf for eating roadkill ? [02:55]
BingoBoingo yeah. Conservation police find the cocaine... fruit of the poisonous tree, though probably still having problems. [02:55]

mircea_popescu he could probably make more begging where he lives, and being a professional beggar would actually be much more respectable and honorable than being bitcoin's 5th column. [03:28]

asciilifeform his pay is in fact contingent not only on 'playing ball' but continued usefulness to handler [05:32]
asciilifeform which is not guaranteed [05:32]
decimation well, the bigger point - do we really think his 'foundation' is going to last that long anyway? [05:33]
decimation so while he might be able to skate for a few years, later he's a pauper in retirement living on government cheese [05:33]
asciilifeform if it were to implode, the shills will be placed into similar roles elsewhere [05:33]
asciilifeform assuming they have not fallen into official disfavour by then. [05:33]
BingoBoingo asciilifeform: So there's a media narrative when team A is having a horrible year that supposed they were good enough to win if only the competition wasn't so strong. But the narrative for Team B is that they are so miserable and wouldn't be winning if only their competition wasn't so weak. And then teams A and B finally meet and in the game B actually maintains a position of superiority. [05:34]

asciilifeform like installing updated video board driver [06:06]
asciilifeform (if re: gentoo) [06:06]

mircea_popescu anyway, what i said was, to noobs looking at linux [06:09]
undata I don't do any more work administrating mine than debian. [06:09]
mircea_popescu i guess ubuntu 10.04 could be the alternative. [06:09]
asciilifeform at any rate, no box i ever owned was rendered entirely unbootable by a braindamaged gentoo [06:09]
asciilifeform one can always get a text tty [06:09]
mircea_popescu problem is, yoyu get them on ubuntu, next you know they think it's windows and update [06:09]
mircea_popescu next you know they ARE on windows. [06:09]

mircea_popescu yes yes, i know whatcha mean. [06:13]
asciilifeform i was unaware that gentoo was on 'hate radar' for folks who aren't using it [06:14]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform: decimation: but at one point exhausted ram, but blockchain remained wedged upon restart <<< speaking of this, there's an option to close with detached bdb [06:14]
mircea_popescu this is useful if you keep stopping every x blocks, backuping bdb files [06:15]
asciilifeform ben_vulpes ^ [06:15]
decimation mircea_popescu: you mean running bdb as a separate process? [06:15]
mircea_popescu no no, bitcoin itself can close in such a way so as to not leave its own state crud crudely saved [06:15]
mircea_popescu this would seem to sane minds the only way to close, but then it "took too long", so... [06:16]
decimation ah I see [06:16]
decimation which would help differentiate between 'wedged bitcoind state' and 'wedged bdb state' [06:16]

asciilifeform which degrees ? [06:17]

mircea_popescu consider the case of the various chicks that came to show their tits for .1 btc [06:18]
asciilifeform cazalla wallowing with the eagles, lol [06:18]
mircea_popescu they didn't stick around. why this ? [06:18]
mircea_popescu one explanation, that persuades me, it's because they dun have the time to. because they gotta work. [06:18]
asciilifeform on account of having exhausted the fountain ? [06:18]
asciilifeform if they could get the .1 again and again - perhaps would [06:19]
mircea_popescu the fountain's still going. [06:19]
mircea_popescu well, the .1 ain't, in my mind, the actual larger half. [06:19]
asciilifeform iirc you only paid per set of tits ? [06:19]
mircea_popescu sure. [06:19]
asciilifeform and each gurl shipped with 1 set. [06:19]
mircea_popescu but consider other example : http://trilema.com/2013/internet-story/ [06:19]
assbot Internet story pe Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu. [06:19]
mircea_popescu 2nd quote most relevant. [06:20]
asciilifeform aha [06:20]
mircea_popescu put it another way : if i didn't think the .1 is the smaller half, i wouldn't be giving it out in the first place. [06:21]
asciilifeform if here 1 -> 2 continued to 2 -> 4 -> 8 -> ... ... maxint - then yes, interesting [06:21]
asciilifeform if a successful las vegas roll - less so. [06:21]
mircea_popescu so, degrees. for most chicks, the cheese dispensed by the cheese dispenser is all there is. [06:21]
mircea_popescu for some chicks, the fact that how the shot does a cheese dispenser work ?! is a more pressing question. [06:21]
undata this is such a strangely wonderful place [06:22]
mircea_popescu so there are degrees. yes, everyone in the bezzle is in the bezzle. [06:22]
mircea_popescu some guys work three jobs to try and get the kid in school where he can work in a sv startup. this is a degree of improvement. [06:22]
mircea_popescu then maybe one day the kid gets to the point where he even has the freedom to consider wtf he's doing. further degree. [06:23]
mircea_popescu plenty of degrees. [06:23]
* undata fist bumps with ben_vulpes [06:23]
asciilifeform plenty of degrees. but, i can't help but notice phase transitions in the space. [06:23]

* asciilifeform unaware of this being a thing for any of the people still here [06:24]

mircea_popescu part of the problem is, the internet (and esp my stuff) is very self-directed [06:27]
mircea_popescu many people are used to micromanagement, under relentless pressure from a pointless class that wants to justify its existence [06:27]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform that's unrelated. [06:28]

asciilifeform or 'malleus scamificorum' alternatively. [06:59]
mircea_popescu but this doesn't change the fact that nobody did it, nor does it change the fact that i'm principally hated for that reason, my agents have been principally hated for that reason [06:59]
mircea_popescu and this chan is called a cult, or anything else bad!111 for that reason. [06:59]
asciilifeform devils - hate crucifix, yes [06:59]
asciilifeform how could they not. [07:00]

asciilifeform surprising he'd use the name again. [07:00]

asciilifeform the 'polygraph', as the name implies, combines several instruments (eeg, ekg, conductometer) [07:28]

asciilifeform that is the apparatus pictured in the photo [07:29]

asciilifeform about the same thing that hot coals ordeal has to do with 'truth.' [07:29]

mircea_popescu The brilliant Finnish-Canadian computer science professor / blogger Ilkka Kokkarinen has taken down his popular blog, presumably to keep his job after his campus newspaper noticed his heterodox views. His skepticism about the intellectual consistency of lesbian-feminist theory and practice would appear to have been his biggest crime. [07:34]
mircea_popescu lmao [07:34]

asciilifeform tenure doesn't actually exist in angloworld now. [07:39]

asciilifeform (it being a kind of property right, traditionally - fat surprise.) [07:40]
nacci nepotism trumps tenure [07:40]
mircea_popescu decimation for the record, as one coming from an actually multicultural world, i am both offended at the misuse of the term and would pray you don't discard an actually superior mode of human life [07:40]

mircea_popescu just because some fucktarded barbarians in a colony think that cowboys in sheets = latins. [07:40]
asciilifeform 'Physicist Steven Jones, who first pointed to the use of thermite in the destruction of the two towers had to agree to having his university buy out his tenure or his university was faced with losing all federal financing.' << example from herr orlov.

mircea_popescu this is like, russian orthodox church vs tsarate already. [07:41]
asciilifeform and recall how that went. [07:41]

mircea_popescu whether young or old ? slutty or annyoing ? big tits or small ? pert or loose ? [07:45]
mircea_popescu did not. exactly. [07:45]
mircea_popescu in some circumstances, listening to the women is a bad idea. [07:45]
asciilifeform the way historians seem to present it, it was less 'listening' and more 'no hostages' [07:46]
asciilifeform when 'they'll xxx my mother, sister, wife' - folks hesitate to swing axe [07:46]
mircea_popescu hostages ? someone has to first care [07:46]
asciilifeform when mother, sister, wife - buried - they swing axe with the grace of ballet dancer. [07:46]
mircea_popescu caring has its place. that place is not "everywhere all the time" [07:47]
* asciilifeform was not in treblinka, knows only what the contemporaries saw fit to write down [07:47]

mircea_popescu ben_vulpes : "Explanation of -detachdb (and the new “stop true” RPC command): The Berkeley DB database library stores data in both “.dat” and “log” files, so the database is always in a consistent state, even in case of power failure or other sudden shutdown. The format of the “.dat” files is portable between different versions of Berkeley DB, but the “log” files are not– even minor version differ [08:17]
mircea_popescu ences may have incompatible “log” files. The -detachdb option moves any pending changes from the “log” files to the “blkindex.dat” file for maximum compatibility, but makes shutdown much slower. Note that the “wallet.dat” file is always detached, and versions prior to 0.6.0 detached all databases at shutdown." [08:17]

mircea_popescu if you take the 94 million kulaks, capitalists, dissidents and other groups of people that socialists murdered in the twentieth century, and punch the numbers into a calculator, the average number of victims per hour equals almost exactly the one-hour kill count of Anders Breivik. Just imagine how absurd it would be if, instead of being captured and neutralized, Anders were simply allowed to keep killing people day and [08:32]
mircea_popescu night until the twenty-second century dawns. And yet such an absurdity practically defined the twentieth century. [08:32]

mircea_popescu would you hire a man or a woman for this task ? [23:17]
asciilifeform depends on the designated chumps, no? [23:17]
mircea_popescu supposing you have a person printing machine, can make them up to spec. [23:17]
asciilifeform what'd a 'nerdcore' anyway [23:17]
mircea_popescu well, the designated chumps, "the U.S. East Coast cryptanalytic community" [23:17]
mircea_popescu a nerdcore is roughly what "academia" is : adding words to specified idiocy to make it palatable. it's not a buncha derps, because CORE. [23:18]
asciilifeform not being one of the designated chumps in question, i'd ask for a subverted greybeard. but i am not a doctor of chumpatronics, and may be naive here. [23:19]
mircea_popescu uh. how'd that work ? [23:19]
asciilifeform e.g. schneier [23:19]
xanthyos a person printing machine like from kafka's "in the penal colony" [23:19]
mircea_popescu ~ on the basis of sheer animal magnetism ~ [23:20]
mircea_popescu gotta stick to the strat yo. [23:20]
asciilifeform i'd have picked him based on his 'street cred' from his service in the '90s crypto wars [23:20]
mircea_popescu but thats out of scope. [23:20]
asciilifeform if question specifically concerns 'animal magnetism' - difficult to answer. most of the chumpatronic work involved, i doubt would win from this stratagem. i, for instance, have never (to my knowledge) been within musket distance of a live cryptographer (of whatever variety) [23:21]
mircea_popescu but we are discussing the nerdcore. [23:21]
mircea_popescu you know, like bitcoincore. [23:22]
asciilifeform ergo i need to be chumped with paper [23:22]
asciilifeform and how many of these chumps are chumped in a lecture hall, and not with paper? [23:22]
mircea_popescu i think most. [23:22]
asciilifeform seriously? [23:22]
asciilifeform how many of the 'tardstalk' folks have seen gavin alive [23:22]
mircea_popescu the reason the remnant is so insistent on "real world" vs "trolls" perhaps follows a simple calculation [23:22]
asciilifeform i, for example, don't even know what he looks like [23:22]
mircea_popescu "we have a this which works and a that which sort-of works and is more expensive" [23:23]
* HeySteve has quit () [23:23]
mircea_popescu i would bet you 100% have. [23:23]
mircea_popescu no exceptions. [23:23]
asciilifeform well, not knowingly [23:23]
mircea_popescu http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/14/Silvio_Micali_IMG_0459.jpg << this, incidentally, is whom "leadership" was captured...from. [23:23]
asciilifeform for all i know, lizard hitler rides elevator with me every day [23:23]
* asciilifeform does not recall seeing this mug before [23:24]
mircea_popescu so basically, not your kind of job ? [23:24]
asciilifeform unfortunately not. [23:24]
asciilifeform although, now that you mention it, [23:24]
asciilifeform reading the ancient 'cryptolog', i can almost hear a tone of voice [23:24]
mircea_popescu you can can't you. [23:24]
asciilifeform and it sounds very much like certain other persons [23:24]
mircea_popescu this is how the fucking problem with "releases" go. [23:25]
mircea_popescu it is functionally impossible to make a release that works for *any* evnetual readers. [23:25]

asciilifeform it isn't even 'cold psychopath' or the like. it is the basic tone of voice of the 'mean gurlz' who are, between sentences, cackling at the 'goodies' their gurlz club is privy to [23:25]
asciilifeform vs. the chumpers [23:25]
* assbot removes voice from thomas_d [23:26]
asciilifeform now that this came up, i will say that i have seen this alive [23:26]
asciilifeform as in, actual (former) friends who took up the cloak of the beast, and their patterns of speech actually changed. [23:27]
asciilifeform similar to how men who have sat in russian prison, have detectably characteristic patterns of speech [23:27]
asciilifeform specifically not speaking of vocabulary or idiomatisms here [23:27]
asciilifeform but patterns. [23:27]

mircea_popescu heh. [23:29]
asciilifeform at any rate, i can imagine only with great difficulty that a usg cryptologist of any actual stature (that is, creator of, or even privy to, a 'crown jewel') would be permitted to make public so much as a newspaper ad for a dog walker, much less a document pertaining to his profession. [23:31]
asciilifeform (an internal report marked 'confidential' should be regarded as a public document for the purpose of this statement.) [23:31]
asciilifeform 'confidential' is the lowest level of classification in usg. [23:31]
asciilifeform about on par with a receipt for pizza at the office. [23:31]
mircea_popescu ok, let me put this in a different light. [23:32]
asciilifeform the author is likely an 'outer circle' man. [23:33]
mircea_popescu out of the 100k or so academics trudging for us-academia-wot, how many are likely to publish their research like i do, on trilema, just like that ? [23:33]
asciilifeform kept around, permitted to work on problems in his circle of interests among his own kind, but generally kept away from anything 'jewel'-like. [23:33]
mircea_popescu not a matter of "permitted" per se. [23:33]
asciilifeform us-academia or 'intelligence komyoonity' ? [23:34]
asciilifeform rather different animals [23:34]
asciilifeform (similar in some interesting ways, but kept in separate tanks at the zoo) [23:34]
mircea_popescu separate but identical ? [23:34]
asciilifeform i have personally only taken a swim in the larger tank, the former [23:35]
asciilifeform cannot speak for the smaller tank [23:35]
asciilifeform but among generic u.s. mathemasturbators, unaffiliated with nsa et al, it is quite common to post 'preprints' on www. [23:36]
mircea_popescu anonymously ? [23:37]
asciilifeform no, on their official university www, typically [23:38]
asciilifeform often, even now, as 'postscript' turds [23:38]
mircea_popescu so in short : people who make their living cutting beards are not likely to be seen cutting beards outside of the place where this pays. [23:38]
asciilifeform well, they also tend to use their barbershops as homes. in the sense that many academics keep personal blog-type material on the same site. [23:39]
asciilifeform (herr kokkarinen, before anyone asks, did not) [23:39]
asciilifeform example: http://doubletap.cs.umd.edu/purtilo [23:40]
asciilifeform ^ met very briefly in meatspace [23:40]

mircea_popescu a much better caption would be minsky with his eyes closed. [23:41]
asciilifeform lol [23:41]
asciilifeform i think that actually hangs in the hall where he works. [23:41]
