mircea_popescu: i think in texas judgeships are elective, but in mass nominated ?
mircea_popescu: the problem is that the police machinery of the rogue state bestows its blessings particularly on tall women with nice tits, and therefore it's all about ~that~
mircea_popescu: so the problem isn't the fact that the police machinery of the rogue state is a criminal entreprise ; and people understandably want to avoid them.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: ahahaha laura parson kicks all ass! "stem syllabi are gendered because they promote the idea that knowledge can be ascertained through reason, which is a masculine concept that hurts women's feelings and makes it difficult for them to succeed."
☟︎ mircea_popescu: asciilifeform well, this is the sort of determination that only they who were there can make. just as arguably mengele never existed ; wholly creation of jew victimlobby.
mircea_popescu: in no small part the point of even having a republic is that the next snowden does a much better job. and having the occasional noob show up in here to work the bots is part and parcel of this same.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform dude had very little operational foresight, ability or competence.
mircea_popescu: experientia docent ; de raadt pre bob beck and post bob beck very much different animals also. list can continue.
mircea_popescu:
http://log.mkj.lt/trilema/20160922/#567 << the usg bureaucracy is very much dumb-woman-from-montana as depicted by frances mcdormand in fargo. there's this list of formal sins that's all they comprehend and consequently serve as their only interface wioth the world. "said nigger" "didn't eat veggies" "doesn't recycle" "cheated on spouse" etc.
mircea_popescu: but honestly, a little bit of exposure can't hurt anything.
mircea_popescu: " Andrew Sullivan, chair of the Internet Architecture Board, a group that oversees organisations involved in the evolution of the internet" << there's a gavin everywhere!
mircea_popescu: sure. but there's a sweetspot for the wifi, where they're impossible to find from a distance. that same pollution also protects them.
mircea_popescu: moreover, at 10 bux an item, if you end up with sqrt (distance) items to cover a distance expressed in 10 meter increments, you're looking at what, 150bucks per km of comms. this is way the fuck cheaper than laying wires ; and works on all terrain etc.
mircea_popescu: on current tech sweet spot seems to be somewhere in the 1 to 10 W ; which is how and why wifi is even a thing ; and which drives the question that wouldn't it be much better to just use wifi instead ?
mircea_popescu: could prolly make 100W emitter strictly out of 200 bucks worth of old lappy +/- old car battery.
mircea_popescu: somewhat less conclusive, but more expensive. still, it may turn out very interesting
mircea_popescu: either because lazydumb or because afraid someone might microscope/probe the things and find it.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform tru, but dollars to donuts they didn't change the magic for each chip.
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller ideally you want to do it all in ram and dump to disk 2gb at a time
mircea_popescu: the companion to Framedragger 's exploration to be done at home is evidently - there's only 3 chips, right ? get a realtek, an intel and a broad and fuzz them
mircea_popescu: word ; i was thinking of proposing exactly this but then i got distracted.
mircea_popescu: ballas' celebrated "so you feel strongly about something, strong enough to not do anything" is just as much a statement. there's no lack of observation, it's just that piggy likes his truffle.
mircea_popescu: it's very much a destructive psychiatric condition ; harmful for self, harmful for others. smoke and don't do this, rather than don't smoke and do it.
mircea_popescu: where they take turns to play the obese and the enabler for each other.
mircea_popescu: the fundamental point of reddit & co, and the main reason to avoid them, is that they format people into this specific mode,
mircea_popescu: the only sane way to look at it is over BingoBoingo 's mayo-enabler pair.
mircea_popescu: the curse of this language space is that pretty much everything degrades by degrees into this wordy masturbation where people get excited over ideas then agree they can't be done then move on to the next.
mircea_popescu: that's the problem here - ideas are exciting, but for lack of practice western man has all but lost any knowledge of the actual excitement of actually doing things.
mircea_popescu: do not say it anymore ; or do. for all the difference it makes, you can pick either.
mircea_popescu: you say useless all the time for absolutely no reason ; and had a year's + worth of warning. too late to appeal this.
mircea_popescu: and the alf "useless" signal can be safely ignored. he's decided to shit in own mouth, what can you do.
mircea_popescu: as a sort of steganography. who the hell is going to prove that radio chatter is "not really what it seems"
mircea_popescu: markov chains can be used for the purpose of symmetrically "encrypting" ; make every byte a different word, it will be "plaintext"
mircea_popescu: ah also : re "encryption" : we CAN use the eliza involved in gossipd spec (anyone actually did this or just some quick napkin work and then forgot about ?) to eliza the actual emissions.
mircea_popescu: and i do recall it ; which proves that they aren't eh ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform no, because geodispersed. most of the time, sqrt n etc
mircea_popescu: Framedragger this whole convo keeps popping up ; nobody's seriously against it.
mircea_popescu: ie, if you have 10k 10w stations rather than 100kw one, you will, if sanely handling errors, get a better channel from cluj to melbourne.
mircea_popescu: yes, but lottery works for you when you got a lot of them.
mircea_popescu has personally seen 10W station owner with postcards from fucking australia
mircea_popescu: something like that. except for the exact definition of short.
mircea_popescu: desperately needs it to be 100k because protecting some other unexamined notions this way!
mircea_popescu: are there any stations even left that do 100kw in soviet us ?
mircea_popescu: by now it should be pretty self-evident, to you too. the moment one of these preconceived things gets out the mouth and then starts shapeshifting for dear life in conversation, you got an example.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform no. they don't care ; it's you that have mental issues.
mircea_popescu: let them "guide the gasenwagen" at $100k to $20mn per guidance, untill they fall over.
mircea_popescu: power the thing off battery, dump a bunch around people's houses.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform incidentally, this suggests an extremely cheap way to fuck with the empire. produce mini board that outputs salt-hashed counter nonce, rsa and emit it.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger sure ; even noncompliant channels may have their uses. but still, in general you want to aim for a 30 kbps minimum.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform ~nobody gives a shit about "there in usa". move.
mircea_popescu: in any case : 1 mb blocks, 10 minute blocks, you therefore must have no less than
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform depends how much it costs. in any case, there's a relationship between required-density and square-of-radius.
mircea_popescu: in short : it wouldn't be wasted work, we'll certainly use it later ; it's not yet scheduled, but the scheduler isn't blocking in this sense.
mircea_popescu: not that you can't just go ahead and proof it, if you want to.
mircea_popescu: it is on the list, but first gotta have better geographic density of republican lords.
mircea_popescu: however, costs money to operate hardware. what's the rush.
mircea_popescu: in principle we could have a tmsr radio station. even makes for excellent call sign, TMSR.
mircea_popescu: the deep point here being that this is a fundamental property of usgian "ghidusii" : the long tail of straggling losers.
