mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes ingest is angloabomination born 1500s technically it'd be exgest but incomprehensible because barbarians not systematical. anyway, ingest comes from gestus, gerere, which means to carry hence gestant female ie pregnant and so on. [09:08]

Framedragger: so apparently the hosting provider which i've been paying since 2008 without sweat just went down. like, i can't load their homepage and client area. they better have a good explanation for entire cluster going down [11:02]
Framedragger: gonna learn to host tmsr stuff separately from $random_websites_for_relatives_etc , too collateral damage much [11:03]

asciilifeform: https://archive.is/faRIr << and somehow we missed this gem. 'Trading in the stock of medical device manufacturer St. Jude Medical was halted Friday afternoon after a dramatic drop in its value. That drop was triggered by news of alleged vulnerabilities in the company's cardiac care devices. The vulnerability was disclosed not in a report by the company, but by security researchers partnered with Muddy Waters Capital, an investment fi [11:08]
asciilifeform: rm that had "shorted" St. Jude's stock on the information in order to profit from a drop in the stock's value. The researchers at the security firm MedSec chose to take this route to disclosure, MedSec CEO Justine Bone said, to "ensure that St. Jude Medical responds appropriately and with urgency." The partnership with a short-seller is a fundamental departure from the established approach of responsible disclosure normally taken by [11:08]
asciilifeform: researchers. But it also represents an approach that bypasses the sort of legal maneuverings and threats, suppression of information, and inaction that have been experienced by researchers who have discovered vulnerabilities in other products. Researchers who discovered a vulnerability in Volkswagen electronic engine locks, for example, were forced to withhold a paper for two years through a court injunction filed by the automaker in [11:08]

mircea_popescu: the point ~everyone, from the propellerhead ethidiots to yours truly, prefers to not observe the fact that bitcoin can not be part of economic activity as is, because unspecified machinery with unpredictable behaviours are exactly not the substance of contractual agreements. [12:22]

mircea_popescu: but ftr, i only transmitted the first. [12:30]

Framedragger: asciilifeform: re. "Enemy can spam the channel but each of his packets can be rejected in ~constant time~" - ahh! that clarifies matters for me. will comment on blog later by PC. ttyl [12:53]
phf: asciilifeform: i'll read it once the dust settles [12:54]
asciilifeform: phf: it's more or less deadlocked. [12:54]
mircea_popescu: regex. guaranteed rewrite. every time. [12:55]
mircea_popescu: as the australian slut once said to her boyfriend, "roses are red, violets are blue, i'm at mp's house cheating you you eh." [13:11]
asciilifeform: for anyone who, like phf, has been 'waiting for dust to settle', here's (imho) ~impartial summary: mircea_popescu demands one particular aspect of correct gossiptron: repudiability and is willing to newjersyize ('best-effort') everything else. asciilifeform demands that the entire thing have strength on par with the basis crypto. mircea_popescu points out that this building demands an escherian, if you will, brick. asciilifeform - d [13:16]
asciilifeform: isputes this. [13:16]
asciilifeform: currently it would appear that each is doomed to write own proggy... [13:16]
mircea_popescu: well, no! here's my version : [13:17]
mircea_popescu: the matter in dispute is how to handle authentification. one solution is decrypt-challenge. the other solution is signed-hello. i reject signed-hello for a number of reasons, both practical and theoretical, which alf doesn't seem to think much of but which i am satisfied are sufficient to sink any attempt to implement a gossipd on sh. alf purports to reject dc on similar grounds, except i can't find anything like an argument [13:19]
mircea_popescu: of either kind in his production nevertheless he also claims dc is sufficient to sink any attempt to implemnet a gossipd. [13:19]
mircea_popescu: anyway, discussion of specifix there plox, lest we manage to lose the ~only benefit so far, which is to say that nonsensical as it is, at least discussion is all in one place [13:20]
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i drop this here in attempt to coax the lazy folk to join us on your www. [13:20]
mircea_popescu: the silent are not necessarily thereby lazy! mebbe they're trying to understand the otherwise rather complex an' intricate matter in discussion. [13:21]
mircea_popescu: it's been what, two days ? people need time to think. [13:21]
asciilifeform: hopefully. [13:21]
mircea_popescu: this said, i see absolutely no problem whatsoever implementing trb nodes on sign-hello. [13:23]
asciilifeform: i will add that, despite the ~total impasse, this has been the most enjoyable public dialogue i've partaken in, in quite some time. [13:23]
mircea_popescu: on the contrary, it's how i'd do it too. [13:23]
mircea_popescu: and for the purveyors of domestic bliss, http://66.media.tumblr.com/a858a8f1b81fa051e6b49f2003f305e5/tumblr_nhytfvUjLo1qecl7ro1_1280.jpg [13:27]
asciilifeform: incidentally, i must also add that there are potentially other solutions ( e.g., zkp auth.) that do not reduce to 'sh' or 'dc'. [13:45]
trinque: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-09-11#1539646 << aha. I'm certain all of us have been reading the exchange. (I hope some made use of !!subscribe to do so) [14:15]

* trinque will join the discussion when he has something that hasn't been said, and not simply to "make voice heard" or "join the debate" [14:15]
trinque: asciilifeform: ^ [14:15]
ben_vulpes: it is the most difficult design problem i've seen and i'm still working to wrap my head around both of your positions [14:24]
mircea_popescu: gossipd requires time. [14:25]
asciilifeform: trinque: fair'nuff. [14:44]
asciilifeform: my exhortation here was 'say what has not been said,' not 'moar dakka!' (or however these go.) [14:44]
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: i am quite curious re how you would summarize the point of contention in subj thread. [14:52]
asciilifeform: (is it apparent to the naked eye what it is ?) [14:52]
asciilifeform: unrelatedly, [15:05]
asciilifeform: as a byproduct of the mega-thread on mircea_popescu's www, i invented a potentially useful item, that probably ought to be shared [15:05]
asciilifeform: -- an 'all or nothing transform' (term of art) that, unlike, e.g., rivest's, does not rely on the strength of any hash, nor symmetric cipher, nor imposes algebraic structure. [15:06]
asciilifeform: i'ma post it once i get a couple of spare hours in which to write it up. [15:07]
mircea_popescu: ha! /me showered, came out with two ideas : an update for article and "i wonder if one could come up with a way to do all-or-nothing transforms that are freeform" [15:17]
mircea_popescu: epic. [15:17]
asciilifeform: it is a brain-meltingly simple algo, somewhat like 'v' and inverting the transform with partial info is provably equivalent to halting problem. [15:17]
asciilifeform: i must wonder now if mircea_popescu came out with same item i did. [15:17]
mircea_popescu: nah i had no workable implementation. [15:20]
asciilifeform: it remains to be demonstrated rigorously that mine does the job as claimed. which is why i haven't posted it quite yet. [15:20]
asciilifeform: but yes, it is 'freeform' in the sense where no algebraicism (as in rivest's, or the popular OAEP) is imposed, and the output can be as long and entropic as one likes. [15:21]
* mircea_popescu will gladly read [15:25]

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform also, rivest's scheme is ordered, i was thinking of an order-indifferent k-1 of k packets sorta thing [17:54]

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-09-11#1539692 << that'd be the exact opposite of 'all or nothing', neh? [18:40]
a111: Logged on 2016-09-11 21:54 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform also, rivest's scheme is ordered, i was thinking of an order-indifferent k-1 of k packets sorta thing [18:40]
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform what i mean is, iirc rivest just puts key in last packet. there's no reason to have a "last" packet why not "one of" [18:41]
mircea_popescu: thinking being that if the all-xored-with-key packet is specifically known, observer has some advantage in detecting underperforming rng but if it's not known then not so much. [18:44]
asciilifeform: i suspect this is the basic fear that motivates whiteners [18:45]
asciilifeform: 'they might see my shitrng' [18:46]
mircea_popescu: very likely. [18:47]
mircea_popescu: not in defense of shit rngs. but why specify something that needn't be. [18:47]
asciilifeform: the basic error is same tho [18:49]
mircea_popescu: hm ? [18:50]
asciilifeform: it is foolish to design for 'what if my rng silently fails'. it is a 'jesus bolt' failure [18:50]
asciilifeform: as on choppers. [18:50]
mircea_popescu: this is true. but it's quite sensible to design for "least possible rules" [18:50]
asciilifeform: or how plane is not designed to do any particular constructive thing should the wings fall off. [18:51]
asciilifeform: all emphasis re wings is on ~not falling off~. [18:51]
mircea_popescu: actually modern plane is designed to fly if 3 engines fall off etc [18:52]
asciilifeform: but 0 wings. [18:52]
asciilifeform: brb [18:52]
mircea_popescu: but anyway, i suppose this is neither here nor there. [18:52]

phf: cheers, i just refreshed the stack so should be less random bot timeouts [21:46]
phf: i'm pretty sure cmucl's networking/threading interaction is busted. it shouldn't be, for all practical purposes it's an erlang model (green threads, and async io on vm level), but in practice the code is dodgy.. [21:47]

pete_dushenski: http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/uber-deal-in-detail-1.3756402 << hard to be 'disruptive' when all you do is make shitty deals with the soi-dissant powers that be. fuckin uber. [23:01]
pete_dushenski: obviously a 'cap' of 1.5x surge pricing is retarded and doesn't prevent drivers from being yahoos and scamming riders, as happened to yours truly last month in mtl when driver intentionally disobeyed my command and that of his gps toy and intentionally took wrong turn 'by accident' that led to a detour almost doubling the mileage of the trip [23:03]
pete_dushenski: to uber's credit, i wrote them an email explaining the situation and they refunded me the fare with almost no hassle to speak of. [23:04]
