anarchist NDAs for corporate "warm and fuzzy feeling"s of control - Linus' "gentlehacker's agreement" re sec flaws
by Zenaan Harkness 30 Oct '18

30 Oct '18

Another thin edge of the anarchist's wedge - fundamentally, as this LWN rightly points out, "it is evidently well understood that the power of an NDA to actually compel non-disclosure is nearly nonexistent" - point being, the only real trust is meat-space "ackshuall" trust IRL, and no piece of paper can ever truly compensate. Trust - the fundament of anarchy. What corporations desire (and none too few humans, too) is that warm fuzzy feeling of “control” <deep and sinister cackle echo, echo, echoes into the dungeon>. Nice to have the following IRL example: Toward better handling of hardware vulnerabilities https://lwn.net/Articles/764309/ Build your better world already...

editorconfig.org - 927 configuration standards rolled into one - was Re: elastic tabstops
by Zenaan Harkness 29 Oct '18

There is a new standard to solve the "multitude of existing standards" standard problem :) : https://editorconfig.org/ Oblig. XKCD: https://xkcd.com/927/ https://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php/927:_Standards Obligatory superiority sneer against all new standards aside, THIS new "editor config" standard appears to be one of the better standards, and possibly the ideal place to encourage "elastic tabs". Certainly given the dominance of Git in the DVCS world, this standard has a fine chance of becoming similarly dominant in the editor world.

That Khashoggi was really spying for the saudis on the US nuke weapons pgm with tacit consent of certain aspects of the US govt, was outed, I haven't paid much attention to the case but the guy being a double agent did cross my mind. Why would a 'dissident' go to the embassy? Oh yes, so that the saudi govt could kill him more easily. Makes perfect sense... >and unlike Pollard was snatched home before being busted. It took a few days to smooth some ruffled feathers at the DOJ and grab the script from the 60s vintage horror movie House on Haunted Hill. Pepe Escobar has noted the CIA KNEW he was going to be snatched and did nothing further validating my hypothesis. He was too high value to be disposable. He was one of the CIA operators responsible for AQ when the US was using them to run the Russians out of Afghanistan. The only possible reason they MIGHT have killed him... That he was killed as a mafia-style message to Donald Trump, a long time friend of the Khashoggis that he WAS NOT to fuck with the current state of US-Saudi relations in re Yemen, nuclear power tech, etc no matter what, or else. Trump understands Mafia Messages. He IS mafia.

True, they missed the early curve and have been in FOMO mode spilling FUD ever since the first big news wave around 2013+. Anyone who sells spent money now, rather than rebalance and spend and replace, is still likely to miss out big time. The Cabal wants to be Bank players in metering out coin at a premium to the masses 10 years out when the dolts of the earth get it on their phones as paycheck to spend at the supermarket while they sit back and collect trans fees and loans. There are many reasons for them to spill FUD. There is no other reason for them to be buying coin. It is too risky for them to gamble on a suprise dump scheme years from now from $250k back down to their buy price at $5k in order to remain fiat kings, when they could just keep accumulating coin, dump fiat, and become coin kings. They know cryptocurrency has them by the balls, so now they're trying to run game. What is mere interesting is what coins they're buying and developing... whether those coins are distributed decentralized mined confirmation crypto-anarchy coins... or their own cabal shitcoins. The Sheeple will accept as truth whatever coins work first. So you need to beat the Banks, Steet, and Govts at their game by getting your crypto-anarchy coin adopted right fucking now before their Cabal-Govt shitcoins. Or you will lose your chance forever. You should have ignored all that Govt Bank Permission ICO Shitcoin and Forking FUD. But you ate it up like stupid sheeple. Now you've got at least four years to make up by working four times as hard to win adoption. You don't need permission to do that. Not then, not now, not ever. Just do it.
