mircea_popescu: ipful of manhood. [10:23]
mircea_popescu: not even any man specifically, manhood as a transcendental superiority. visible in how seventeen year olds behave in public to a larger degree than the insolence of anglos is visible visible throughout. [10:23]

shinohai: hue [10:23]
mircea_popescu: nevertheless, moldavia is still a shithole. always was a shithole. [10:23]
mircea_popescu: all the worship of one gender by the other does in practice is sink that other, moldavian men are some of the most miserable, whiny, incompetent and discapacitated dudes you'll ever see. almost gypsy level (and guess why gypsies - much like niggers btw - are cowardly ? yes it's because female worship, of fucking course).

asciilifeform: 'The first time the NSA publicly and decisively gave support to ECC occurred at a meeting of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) in December 1995. The backers of RSA at the meeting were casting doubt on the safety of ECC-based protocols in the mid-1990s a page called “ECC Central” on the RSA website carried statements by leading personalities in cryptography that characterized ECC [14:13]
asciilifeform: as untested and based on esoteric mathematics. ' [14:13]
asciilifeform: 'The nontechnical industry representatives on the ANSI committee were impressed by the RSA argument. As the heated debate continued, the NSA representative left to make a phone call. When he returned, he announced that he was authorized to state that the NSA believed that ECC had sufficient security to be used for secure communications among all U.S. government agencies, including the Federal Reserv [14:13]
asciilifeform: e. People were stunned. In those days the NSA representatives at standards meetings would sit quietly and hardly say a word. No one had expected such a direct and unambiguous statement from the NSA. The ECC standards were approved.' [14:13]
asciilifeform: ^ mega-l0l! ^ [14:13]
asciilifeform: pure gold: [14:19]
asciilifeform: 'To ensure that the NSA-generated elliptic curves did not belong to a very [14:19]
asciilifeform: special class of curves, a simple procedure was devised whereby the coeffi- [14:19]
asciilifeform: cients of an elliptic curve were derived by passing a seed through the hash [14:19]
asciilifeform: function SHA-1. Given the seed and its associated elliptic curve, anyone [14:19]
asciilifeform: could check that the curve had been generated from the seed. Since SHA-1 [14:19]
asciilifeform: is (still) considered to be a one-way function, it would be infeasible for anyone [14:19]
asciilifeform: to first select a curve with very special properties, and then find a seed [14:19]
asciilifeform: which yields that curve.' [14:19]
asciilifeform: FUCK invisible linefeed garbage [14:20]
asciilifeform: anyway - whole thing eminently worth reading. [14:20]
asciilifeform: http://people.item.ntnu.no/~danilog/Hash/Non-random-behaviour-narrow-pipe-designs-03.pdf << interesting re 'whitening' etc. (tldr: no known hash behaves like 'random oracle', demonstrably) [14:45]

danielpbarron: BingoBoingo, I don't mind that you add words to my articles, especially when new info comes out after i have submitted it (like a third bet) but please don't add in a way that breaks the flow. The point I made in regard to the ethereum bet is hard to follow with the trump bet listed right before it [16:27]
danielpbarron: and yes i probably could have mentioned that znort is in WoT but znort never talks here, so it's a toss up. Chat more, get more mentions. Don't chat, get forgotten [16:29]

punkman: mhmm [16:55]
mircea_popescu: worthless bullshit, i want to know what "company" this is to short the shit off it. [16:55]
mircea_popescu: also i wanna know what the fuck irl name "milfseriously" has, just in case he shows up at any social event and isn't there as a toilet slave. [16:56]
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform if it was it didn't last long. [16:57]
mircea_popescu: still, getting 30-50/hour submissions is pretty good imo. [16:57]
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform amusingly, the decade intervening has meanwhile totally fucked them. they're moving off ecc now in a hurry, and their dilemma is "go back to rsa or beg alf for c-s." [16:59]
asciilifeform: lel [16:59]
mircea_popescu: which is pretty lulzy considering tmsr is supposed to be this obscure thing rather than the leading governmental authority of the world./ [16:59]
asciilifeform: my current understanding is that it is nearly certain that a summer intern has been sent to write a usg c-s. [16:59]
mircea_popescu: aha. should be funny once his dr wright implementation comes to pieces./ [17:00]
mircea_popescu: an event which, of course, nobody could have predicted. [17:00]
mircea_popescu: also the above lines didn't happen. [17:00]
asciilifeform: naturally. [17:01]
asciilifeform: re: the hn thread and 'her-assment' - folks living under usg are quite like children under drunkard father - they learn to 'build fences' (orthodox jew concept) around 'what might upset him' [17:01]
asciilifeform: thus it is quite ordinary for folks who so much as fall under suspicion to be sacked [17:02]
mircea_popescu: lol aheeb the horsy will be fucking famous before he dies huh, [17:02]
asciilifeform: waiwut [17:03]
punkman: so should the chick tell her boss new guy is harassment lawsuit waiting to happen? [17:03]
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo danielpbarron has a point editing people's articles is a very iffy thing, best to discuss it with them prior to publication if it's anything more than a word or such. [17:03]
mircea_popescu: punkman the chick was the adult at the table, from what can be seen. the "boss" is a pimply imbecile who has no business in business. [17:04]
asciilifeform: thing is, the boss in the link is not a complete idiot, so much as the mere fact of a 'harassment' suit can sink a small firm. [17:07]
mircea_popescu: pfff. [17:07]
mircea_popescu: such a thing as a "small firm" may not exist in an environment where such a thingas "harassment" exists. [17:08]
mircea_popescu: move. [17:08]
asciilifeform: brilliant, never-before thought of pill !111111 [17:09]
asciilifeform: why not 'breathe fire at the enemy' [17:09]
mircea_popescu: it's not a pill, even. "how can i lose weight while eating 5-6k calories a day ???" "you can't. stop eating." "hurr durr." [17:09]
mircea_popescu: srsly nao. [17:09]

mircea_popescu: i suppose you can just do it in an emergency sort of set-up, but really it's like pinching asses in the subway. best to be kept at a minimum. [17:12]

BingoBoingo: less time with rope? [23:27]
mircea_popescu: possibly less time in shoes. [23:28]
* asciilifeform realized that the perfect rng is in fact... a spinthariscope. [23:29]
asciilifeform: not geiger, not fiber, but ye olde motherfucking spinthariscope. [23:29]
mircea_popescu: why ? [23:29]
asciilifeform: no hv inverter (unlike geiger) [23:30]
mircea_popescu: it wears out just as much as geiger [23:30]
asciilifeform: nope. [23:30]
asciilifeform: no gas. [23:30]
mircea_popescu: well, coating\ [23:30]
asciilifeform: dun wear out. [23:30]
asciilifeform: 100 y.o. ones still work. [23:30]
mircea_popescu: difference between "still works" and "still same". 100 yo lightbulbs still work, but they don't have the same resistance they had 100 years ago [23:30]
asciilifeform: use something with reasonably absurbly long half life [23:31]
asciilifeform: e.g., am-241. [23:32]
mircea_popescu: i guess they use americium now yeah [23:32]
mircea_popescu: still, not obvious why it'd be better than geiger, fiber or electronic noise. [23:32]
asciilifeform: and at any rate, for a reasonably low bit rate, can use backgroumd. [23:32]
asciilifeform: because ZnS is neither rare nor difficult to make. [23:33]
asciilifeform: geiger sucks arse ! [23:33]
asciilifeform: needs hv [23:33]
asciilifeform: inverter. [23:33]
asciilifeform: which introduces own periodicity [23:33]
mircea_popescu: heh. and if one day a comet with a heart of radium goes by, we'll know in the keys. [23:33]
asciilifeform: (and geiger has life measured in 100s hrs) [23:33]
mircea_popescu: micro, rather than macro is the correct direction here.\ [23:34]
mircea_popescu: you don't want to tie-in to momentuous, galactic events [23:34]
asciilifeform: those don't spit out alpha anyway. [23:35]
asciilifeform: (mean free path of ~1cm at stp) [23:35]
asciilifeform: 50g of ZnS crystal from cn, incidentally, is ~$10. [23:36]

mircea_popescu: not hard to make either.\ [23:38]
