mircea_popescu: in other flavour news, /me household proceeded to turn a dozen hard boiled eggs + five unboiled eggs into deviled eggs. the final production was evaluated at a shade under 3000 calories, of which i ingurgitated half in one sitting. i feel very pleasantly full ; and may turn into a boa.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger only asked because earlier you were talking about doing more stuff lol
mircea_popescu: Framedragger btw ever got around to fixing that thing which makes scriba go dysfunctional ?
mircea_popescu: evidently teh enlightened policies of the centralised socialist state, from misrepresenting it as a market to whatever the fuck they do work splendidly : the worst on record dates from last year.
mircea_popescu: some dude, tall old total nut face, butchered an infant in a very sexual manner on tape, apparently tortured a bunch of others. had ran off from au to the philipines for some legal reason.
mircea_popescu: anyway. there's evidently stuff like say peter scully's being produced. the notion that some sort of market drives this however is ridoinculous.
mircea_popescu: there's an obvious incentive for someone to fuck his coworkers : they're there ; i have nfi what "verbal abuse" is, but in principle putting people in their place through means other than hitting them in the head is cheaper, so there's evidently a market ; chauvinism is like revolution or progress, anything to anyone and therefore uninteresting.
mircea_popescu: first they can't have halloween candy ; then they can't fight, or climb trees ; or be home alone ; or touch ; or etcetera. by now it's ... pretty much endless re-dos of carmen winstead.
mircea_popescu: in other news, "i am vampyr and you can't be vladimir because it's too close to vampyr"
mircea_popescu: i guess ; at least for any definition of life that permits the continued existence of the reddit scum.
mircea_popescu: what, the central council of anarchism and the conveniently-involved uninvolved poet ?
mircea_popescu: Framedragger i vaguely recall some data about how 1/3 of all encrypted comms on sr historically was from/to usg and its merry band of thieves under another name.
mircea_popescu: speaking of tor & the rest of the retard community, ""Mariana's Web" does not exist. For anyone trying to be the "Jacques Cousteau of the Dark Web": There is no "going deeper". There are no "levels". Please stop asking how to get there."
☟︎ mircea_popescu: iirc even at the peak of the whole "anyone could have sent me fake ids with my picture on them because there exists this thing online called silkroad i'm not related to" pothead mania, less than hjalf the idiots used encryption at all, and a tiny fraction of traffic was actually encrypted coming from relatively few keys. as in hundreds rather than hudreds of thousands.
mircea_popescu: there was (perhaps more usbstantially interesting) an effort to get the historical databases with silk road junk as maintained by some pothead sifted, both for rsa keys and whatever else
mircea_popescu: iirc was briefly discussed, nobody gave much of a shit about tor
mircea_popescu: if you're gonna sign it might as well dump it in the deeds. but it seems rather excessive.
mircea_popescu: the terms of art are giant douche and turd sandwich pete_dushenski
mircea_popescu: "we allow trivial enumeration of users! just like facebook! and reddit! whoooo!"
mircea_popescu: these "social sciences" idiots. so don't you know, online polls are "unscientific" because they're "opt-in", ie they reflect the views of people who wish their views reflected. meanwhile their "scientific" polls are what, they call people up, ask them some questions, and if those people hang up they ??? get a court order ? get the schmuck sentenced to jail without a definite term, us style, "the key is in your pocket mr!" ?
mircea_popescu: no but you see "it can't go bankrupt because dollars are like shares"
mircea_popescu: if you take out dallas and ft worth the texans might actually thank you.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform if the whole arsenal is in working order, which it is not, it's barely sufficient to not do anything to texas, seeing how look at the fucking surface.
mircea_popescu: that old woman, ifshe's still alive, which she probably is, counts as three california soldiers, as typified by that brandi manning or w/e his name was.
mircea_popescu: that ca 330k vs texas 299k is utter bullshit. people are not equal ; my first day in texas was spent in a small town where the mayor was presenting an award to a 70 yo woman who, while eating a sandwhich at a diner, took out a .45 from her purse and blew the brains out of some mexican kid that was trying to hold up the place at knife point. they were giving her a plaque and everything.
mircea_popescu: fucking usgtards, any more inept than this they'd qualify for the 1970s.
mircea_popescu: they have the psychosis for flailing aimlessly and continuing as-if, however. so they will.
mircea_popescu: my bet is on it reacting the same exact way it reacted to having its ether raped.
mircea_popescu: they were some of the worst trained officers in the history of turkish armed forces.
mircea_popescu: "Turkey has fired hundreds of senior military staff serving at NATO in Europe and the United States following July’s coup attempt, documents show, broadening a purge to include some of the armed forces’ best-trained officials." <<< except "most esltardian" does not mean "best trained". in fact, it means the opposite.
mircea_popescu: aha. and if there was an actual attack, ie, 5k to 50k flying objects as opposed t oa piddly single fire, they'd be underwater.
mircea_popescu: and the word around the campfire is that they're unimpressed.
mircea_popescu: in other kickass smoothie news : seven almonds, a dab of purely dark chocolate and two cloves go in the coffee grinder ; then a banana, fresh brewed coffee, milk, ice and the ground dusts + some vanilla go in the blender.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: i'm sure the utter failure of obama I + II is all trump's fault.
mircea_popescu: tell me more about how you believed what the government told you and then it didn't work out in practice.
mircea_popescu: much to everyone's couldn't have predicted, there's no genuine MARKET in child porn etc.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: Making Bitcoin-based networks to sell taboo erotica was very hip for a few months last year. None of those networks ever made a single successful sale to the best of my knowledge (I tried many of them, never got anything more than annoyed emails from fans asking why the website didn't work). As far as I know, this is no longer a thing. I'm not aware of any Bitcoin site that allows you to sell any kind of digital erotica." <<
mircea_popescu: there's nothing quite as lulzy as a middle aged woman who thinks herself smart. except, of course, for a group of them.
mircea_popescu: mats> bit shocked he's not getting shut out on the basis of hate speech tbh << he's the officially designated muppet to cover that area, the idea being that he'll outcompete the genuine plants in the niche, while being firmly loyal to the system.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes> can you turn that into a phd? << first i read pdf. same diff.
mircea_popescu: "Our win probabilities come from simulating the election 20,000 times, which produces a distribution of possible outcomes for each state. Here are the expected margins of victory. The closer the dot is to the center line, the tighter the race." << ahahaha wtf is this, global warming science applied to politics ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: so his theory is 48 to 44% in popular vote but 318 to 219 in electoral votes. should be funny to see how this plays out
mircea_popescu: is this the guy who ran some sort of "AI" to make predictions and then decided to "turn it off" because something sounding a lot like yakowsky or w/e the harry potter fanfic writer's name is ?
