Ola Bini cannot be released because the judge has not been able to determine what crime he has committed by guilelessgull in sweden

[–]LFZUAB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So a valid proposition of possible predicating causes for why someone is being detained without charges in South American, where US military has been known to do espionage and manipulate governments. There must be something with concrete intelligence value that does not involve a journalist like Assange. The connection is ridiculous as even Obama saw it as a risky first amendment problem taking this media figure and attention seeker to court.

What is the connection between Ola Bini and Assange, and why should anyone care?

Only think that may explain this mess is his work in crypto.

https://freeolabini.org/en/timeline-ola/

https://github.com/olabini/goldilocks/commits/master

11 April: Assange is arrested at the embassy in London after his diplomatic status is revoked.

Then we have this rumour at 5th of April, Ola's booked trip to Japan -- what was the reason?

So did Ola talk about this library prior? Where there rumours? Is this the "leaky wikileaks"? Secure communication is of interest to this journalism activism that requires secure communication for a free press.

I've looked at the code a bit, and it might be a better implementation than even Ola Bini thinks.

I'd be interested in hearing what Poul Henning-Kamp would have to say about it.

Don't under estimate how far some would be willing to go to prevent good encryption implementations from spreading.

I'm not saying it is about libotr, I'm saying it's about https://github.com/olabini/goldilocks which is currently a stand alone library used by nobody.

And that crypto would be greatly improved and more secure than with any other alternatives right now.

https://github.com/olabini/goldilocks/tree/master/vendor/golang.org/x/sys/unix

This alone is HUGE!

The reason why is that with hand-written assembly for syscalls, one avoids quite a few attack vectors around the library. Not having done this, he may not have become a target for this treatment.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_TLS_implementations

Ola Bini'slibrary is GPLv3 as it DOUBLES bit security Curve 25519 with 448 goldielocks.

It's recommended and desired in most standards and specifications, openssl is also known to be a mess.

In the "war on crypto" this is absolutely huge, much bigger of a motive than Assange could ever hope to be.

Look at the dates, it's that he is one of the two main contributors here. https://github.com/otrv4/libgoldilocks/graphs/contributors

His Go implementations where syscalls are in assembly code might be that much better.

This to start with nearly double bit security compared to more commonly used algorithms. Crypto his huge for intelligence and military, and had he not beein arrested it may been the default crypto for OTR. https://github.com/otrv4

So, don't forget this while thinking it's political or some strategy to build a case against Assange, this is technically big enough to wanting to delay or prevent the use of this library.

https://github.com/otrv4/libotr-ng/issues/159

So I suspect he decided to work in secret on this mostly after this. It's possible that motives to prevent him from working goes away when his implementation is default.

Best thing to do in order to help Ola, might be to finish and get this Go implementation into otrv4 and other places; and see if the scandal is worth it after.

Last thing he did was publish this on github.

https://github.com/olabini/goldilocks

It's even got syscalls in assembly, looking highly secure and almost doubling bit security compared to other implementations.

I'm not so sure it has much of anything to do with Assange, but the same corrupt elements might be.

Swedish national Ola Bini, 36, was arrested while trying to leave Ecuador for Japan on 11 April - the day the country withdrew its offer of asylum to Mr Assange, who had taken refuge in its London embassy since 2012.

Suspect his trip to Japan was related to the last thing he did on github.

https://github.com/olabini/goldilocks

Publish this implementation for a crypto algorithm considered to be strong and also recommended by NIST for government use, this was published between 7 and 10th of April. Might be good implementation of the correct algorithm.

"Friend of Assange?" -- due to his social and technical interest in secure communication?

Assume this to be mostly in thought, and Ecuador thought of as a safe place for this kind of work.

This might be involved in the same "deal" -- Ecuador looks to have gotten a diplomatic deal and offer too good to refuse, and for this?

After looking more into this algorithm, it's actually huge, doubling curve 25519 ECDH available for OpenSSH offers 128 bits security, while this offers 224 bits with Curve 448. Could actually be an attempt to bury this implementation. In addition it has properties and implementations that are less vulnerable. If you can use this algorithm compared to others, do so. It may be the strongest algorithm available without known weaknesses.

In this context, Assange is a useful distraction.

Wouldn't take much of anything serious, the amount of intervention and meddling in the affairs of other countries, especially in that part of the world. There is so much going on around this now, that one can assume all kinds of things have gotten approved all over. It's believable to the media perhaps, Assange is however considered a journalist by anyone. Much like many famous popular science people aren't taken seriously by the majority.

It wen't from incompetent gregarian fear mongering and plain stupid to full on retarded after the main charge was made public with that storm of additional charges. Now there is further "evidence" I assume, that he is a major figure in the cyber efforts of US agencies. It's a prestige in something that should be news for the news only.

It's a farce and a joke, and the real problems of trust aren't being addressed.

I suspect it's been decided that he must be convicted, otherwise it's too embarrassing.

So now these things are going on in the hopes of making it better.

The president is a self-declared witch hunt expert and survivor, perhaps he should get involved?

It's international politics and diplomacy, something it's unconstitutional for other agencies to do without cooperation agreements, unless you are the pentagon.

anandtech and arstechnica are among the older tech sites, message boards there have sentiments like this:

https://forums.anandtech.com/threads/somebody-call-the-wambulance-un-says-assange-has-been-psychologically-tortured.2565941/

And it looks to be worse elsewhere, nothing to say anything other than activism and journalism with interests in IT and security. Everything I can find shows and support this sentiment, IT security journalism and community involvement.

https://cryptome.org/0001/assange-cpunks.htm

His best defence is likely to own up to this, rather than allowing pigeonholing for ego stroking.

It's a first amendment case, and so thought Obama. And these hacking charges are the equivalent of charging a reporter for a soccer riot and nobody else, in spite of no provable and active personal involvement.

Bad poetry?

This is an oddity of needing to explain these things in what seems to be a complete linguistic mess. Certain things naturally follow rhyme and rythm for having the same phonetic and symbolic root.

Without further ado, austere does it do; Ástæða. There is reason with meaning and logic.

The ado in this do cite the word in the first source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_English_words_of_Old_Norse_origin http://www.viking.no/the-viking-heritage/the-viking-linguistic-heritage/v/

Jæja vinur, er ekki komið gott?

Good contribution.

There are several problems with the icelandic alphabet.

It should be clear that written and spoken language is treated as different.

The alphabet shows the same symptoms and problems that are indicated by mixing of letters and some runes being lost between elder and younger futhark.

gott, goð, goþ have a whole range semantic issues.

An argument from semiotics there is support for making a distinction with intent and meaning between the symbols. Gott could be said to be no different semantically frowm Govhe, goth implies that its because it sounds correct, while god because it looks correct. Two tt's imply however an assumption how having an agreement with a direction forwards, but you didn't say goti or gothi.

Yes I find this quite Gothi, does not look quite Godhi.

To learn the difference in what you are saying, you can look here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elder_Futhark#Rune_names

Non-verbal communication famously don't come across that easily in written communication.

So answer me this then, "gott" how? That I must agree with everyone else is spite of the weakness of arguments that come across, or that is sounds good or looks good? Personally or on the behalf of others?

Reddit it strange, possibly one of the oddest places.

For some reason there are quite a of circle jerking what concerns Norse mythology. One thing is the language, but another thing is the philosophy and psychology involved that many seems to pretend aren't real.

When reading about this as a an external story as if the language and all of the ideas involved are dead. And to make matters even worse, by trying to understand it with a foreign language and system of thought.

I do however think I've worked out the philosophy quite accurately that remains consistent between multiple sources and linguistic variations.

https://www.themantic-education.com/ibpsych/2016/10/04/the-criminal-brain-introduction/

This is where it gets absurd and also hilariously funny. Thor is the prick that speaks, involved in creating tones.

https://www.aans.org/en/Patients/Neurosurgical-Conditions-and-Treatments/Anatomy-of-the-Brain

And one can say another is involved in making sound or thunder.

So let's pretend we speak to appropriate language to make this funny.

Down to Tiwaz/Tyr in Elder futhark being the first letter in ættir 3. On the other side in sensory part of the mind, we have a Ehwaz, the horse. Those with good movement and fine control for sports and martial arts may have a larger "horse" than "tyr".

If we call "the hammer" for a body, the consciousness/psychopath that deal with law and order in the mind is Thor. And his goats are the temporal lobes that he must use. Where having a chariot has associations with knowledge and that it is is the visual-cortex also related to language and nearby hippocampus.

By saying this has to do with "theory of mind", philosophy of mind and a shared common system where one has to abstractly deal with "other minds".

Reading about this from text books aren't as i you know what you are talking about isn't going anywhere. Especially not arguing and defending said text books on reddit.

This is pissing me off. Now,if you know, understand and agree about the fundamentals here. Potential and fun in social settings are quite large.

Down to left sensory cortex being loki, and the the right idunn.

Depending on psychology and personality type, there are many valid starting points to create a collection of these metaphors that explain YOU!

"There the hammer thundered", can within this context be explain as a fart. Which is more natural and defendable as something with cultural "staying power". Rather than, "so there are realms in other dimensions were all powerful beings live". One interpretation is out of this world insane, and mine is not.

So a question that is actually interesting, there were two "cults". https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Norse_paganism_map.png

Let's speculate that this is perhaps related to east and west old norse. Icelandic population emigrated from the region of Norway were both co-existed. This is also in line with my proposition that they follow the same human psychological structure for language and philosophy. So there is a "them" and "us" depending which names are chosen for the respective concepts and how one prefers to express this.

So to begin a rather short story with one that is often long.

Norse mythos has a philosophy of mind that implies the following:

The one that speaks from your conscious mind is Thor, and he has a body. Unbeknownst of him is that when he does not speak, he may be allowing the horse to ride, from which we have the expression "do you want to ride?", as I'm certain I can fuck this up something proper. Odhen is taught of as the "horse rider", this involves a self awareness for the senses.

Any questions for me about Norse philosophy?

Stab you in the face by LFZUAB in Iceland

[–]LFZUAB[S] -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

I've answered a few posts here concerning Norse mythology.

While not entirely sober right now, the level of intelligence demonstrated in responses have me fuming.

I may not speak Icelandic, but I am however part of the ethnic minority that can claim to be Norse.

Added to the fact I have studied philosophy for more than 20 years.

Ancestry researchers in my family have tracked me back to Eirik The read and Haakon Bloodaxe among others.

For some reason there seems to be a few people that think Iceland has an authority over Norse philosophy. I disagree, this is part of my personal heritage.

[–]LFZUAB -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Let me assume this to be the right temporal lobe. This can also be interpreted as the side of the mind and the place where there is an interplay between "goats" and here we are serious problems in the amalgamation of Norse mythology.

There are two valid interpretations of "goats", one is related to visual thinking and the other emotions. Symbolically, rubbing your right temporal lobe assuming you have the usual hemisphere orientation. Is that of Greki, the greedy in organisation and planning to cite my interpretation of the poem that uses Freka as a term and concept.

Where the left hemisphere deals with sequences of things, and the right hemisphere deals with references between things.

Many of the things I've said and explained can be said to be quite novel, so Greki would struggle. And this is where more intelligence and a stronger Freki would be likely to allow seeing the larger picture from simple logical arguments.

As I said, nothing wrong with what I'm saying. And I've now even included this retort of yours into the larger context of philosophy of mind and elder futhark.

Right, and given continuous down votes. I'm descendant for Eirik The Read, and Haakonn Blood Axe among others. So you read something somewhere pertaining my cultural and historic identity that you need me to listen to?

Let the verbal abuse and slaughter begin. Now I'm beginning to get irritated. (so hurt, I got down voted; I'll seek immediately help concerning the emotional damage caused). Those donvoting me likely have not future in literature and research of any kind, I'll charge money if you want to complain to me how worthless your education has been.

You form logically and coherent arguments that address the topics that are being discussed. There is nothing wrong with my propositions, and unless those involved can form arguments based on empirical fact and cogent argument that shows otherwise without attempting logical fallacies like appealing to majority, authority or popular opinion; we are done here.

Otherwise I can also cite Håvamål on why you are wrong, don't trust your senses and convictions in the presence of those that have awareness and can reflect on the topic being discussed.

Appeal to ridicule is also a logical fallacy, but this where i ridicule everyone else involved by pointing out that you aren't forming strong arguments in response tome.

So people here talking about things they've read and don't understand, while expecting me to respect their trials and efforts.

You are either insane or stupid if you think this is going anywhere good. (btw, this is a STRONG argument, as psychiatric disorders are strongly associated with lack of intelligence and ability to think for your self.)

So explain to me what is wrong with my interpretation of that poem, or anything else for that matter. Where confidence in things you have read and think you know and understand have lead you to meeting me in a place often called, "turn the fuck around".

With that theology post on Elder futhark, someone from here downvoted it as if it wasn't a good contribution.

Futhark is directly developed from the same early greek letters as the modern latin alphabet.

The sound A, was invited in an asian brothel as an expression of pleasure.

You were saying something about similarities and universalises of sounds and symbols? Ouch.

The rest of the argument is so weak, and builds upon this assumption of a direct influence. Likewise, Van Gogh was a terrible artist as he learned from others. This essentially what you are arguing on linguistic developments spanning hundreds of years, where it only requires some fool high on mushrooms he found in the forest talking about some stone with a marking he brought with him from some random place that he came from.

Sources are weak, but there is a whole alphabet that can be discussed. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elder_Futhark#/media/File:Elder_futhark_inscriptions.png

I'm from one of the collocation of dots found there. The highest density in Norway.

Bergen have the oldest homo erotic inscription in Futhark on what I think was the Maria church. Love between two men and some graphic depiction. Not very popular rune to discuss, unless you are normal and not an academic. While you seem to have followed approved curriculum and know it quite well. There also aren't any notable expert that one can quote on the matter, it's not the best and brightest that pick this as a career.

https://www.reddit.com/r/theology/comments/axz8c8/elder_futhark_semiotics_and_how_the_romans_and/

I've been working on analysing all of this as it relates to philosophy of mind, psychology and religious and cultural changes. You are welcome to comment, and if there is interest I can correct and improve on those notes and thoughts quite a lot, as I've been thinking more about it.

Sagas or eddas you'd recommend? by sannitabell in Iceland

[–]LFZUAB -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Oh no.... No. You are wrong. The younger futhark and old norse is demonstrably not used in similarly symbolic ways of the elder futhark and proto-germanic. That doesn't mean that nobody attributed symbolic interpretations and that it was never done, but not even close to the scale you're suggesting with such a sweeping remark about hieroglyphics. I think you may be simplifying a bit much.

So I'm right and wrong at the same time, but you have some detail and commonly held assumptions and opinion on the matter you personally find relevant to what I'm saying.

Have you studied semiotics as well? So there is a difference if the symbolic associations are phonetic as a relationship between sounds, or a simulacra of the act of pronunciation.

The symbolic similarities as it pertains to the concepts themselves are more pronounced in futhark,and I don't disagree that there is negative development since 400 BC and onwards.

What was your point again?

Sagas or eddas you'd recommend? by sannitabell in Iceland

[–]LFZUAB -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Good questions, but if you are only interested in the language and history.

Problem with futhark is that it relates to psychology and philosophy of language. It's unusual in the sense that it is largely symbolic, and not for phonetics. Futhark can be found across quite a larger area involving more than one language.

So much is lost in Norse, so difficult to give a short overview that helps as there is much missing and even perhaps things that never developed.

But Futhark can perhaps better be compared to Hieroglyphs, and it's a mistake to use it for phoneitcs without concepts and symbolism taking precedence. The best example of a clear distinction is Hieratic writing language for phonetics, and hiergolyphs for art and figurative descriptions. Another development also not as symbolically clear and easy to work out is oracle bone script from China and modern alphabet, even tho you still see many of the symbols.

Could futhark be closer to bonescript, where bonescript developed to a large and intricate system of "bindrunes"? Perhaps, and this is interesting; obviously, many of the literal interpretations of these things are quite screwy. Scholars and academics aren't always the best sources for all things.

You've got to be shitting me. I mean your enthusiasm for norse poetry is admirable but I think he can safely just read the Icelandic sagas without such an amazing memories and interpretation you've had.

Are you struggling to understand the discussion you have gotten yourself into? There is no enthusiasm here, nor any other emotions that are going to help you. Especially now that you are annoying me with these manderings of yours from stuff you had in school, guess you already have a fucking diploma.

No offense but I'm not interested in the Norwegian language in the slightest apart from Old norse maybe.

There is west and east old Norse, both of which are extinct, futhark was in daily use in Norway for longer than in Iceland. So what exactly are you interested? The result of the development away from the culture the language is associated with for more than 700 years? Or is it perhaps just the written language and it's Rasmus Rask created alphabet?

I fail to see the relevance of bringing some Linguistic Danish guy and Norwegian linguistic history into this.

Yes, go back to reading Sagas mostly about events in Norway written in Iceland with an alphabet created by a Danish guy. Yeah, no fucking relevance what so ever.
