mircea_popescu: nevermind kids never being taught how to write a fucking legal document in school. how about they be taught HOW NOT TO BRING FEMININE ARGUMENTS.
mircea_popescu: this guy is fucking terrible, where's this whole crop of new model wykham professors of logic spawn from anwyays ?
mircea_popescu: ie, "mathematicians know and computer dorks needn't worry" bla bla.
mircea_popescu: looking into the intro/outro derpitudes, it looks like the nobus-encryption afficionados in usg.blue that survived the clinton era are looking to build "scientific basis" for ulterior nonsense.
mircea_popescu: well, so now we know what to do should robert d mcleod aka robert.mcleod@umanitoba.ca show up.
mircea_popescu: and it even begins with the usual pantsuit signature, "as an X", huh.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the abstract claim, "one random round of fermat provides same error probability as 32 rounds of m-r" is pretty striking.
mircea_popescu: but as a factual matter, before us-ization ro had a very good legal system ; much like 80 years prior, before sovietization.
mircea_popescu: 99.99x% of all those who interacted with the object online had never before perceived the functioning of these mechanisms to any degree. romania has ~0 civic education in the school system and so on. even the modicum of "teach dork to write a formal application" or w/e they used to do in home ec was abandoned.
mircea_popescu: anyway, all these were strictly unthinkables in the place and time.
mircea_popescu: anyway, item did what such items do, in the us too : it blew a hole in the party-that-the-guy-was-fronting's skirts, and he retired.
mircea_popescu: well what was he going to write me perfumed billets doux ?
mircea_popescu: so did they -- went in 2nd, right AFTER the sitting ro president's salutation and right above what they judged as the top economiasm.
mircea_popescu: but the orig piece is precisely that, i published the complaint.
mircea_popescu: (i mean, i realise in the us they aren't, but w/e, nobody really gives a shit about retardistan)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform can't copyright legal proceedings, they're public.
mircea_popescu: it started like that, you realise. back in the early days of the confederacy, the us president couldn't on his own merit summon enough credit in europe to afford a meal at a decent restaurant. if the local dukes of dorset didn't invite them to their table, they'd eat poached eggs brought from home on the side of the road.
mircea_popescu: so now... let's go ban huawei top keks, make america alone again!
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform too inept dood, what. they can't do shit.
mircea_popescu: which puts us in the following amusing relation : the romanian academy perceived that not only i'm the competition... but have the upper hand.
mircea_popescu: ie, mostly tv stations perceived blogs as competition, but ~because they actually were~ competition, and winning, couldn't omit stealing their conent. and so the expression "found on the Internet" was invented to avoid saying "we suck, go read this-dood.com instead"
mircea_popescu: (romanian academy published a book in which it included the fraud complaint i issued against their at the time sitting head as "found on the Internet", an expression at the time famous in ro for being used by various derps)
mircea_popescu doesn't specifically care, pantsuit "names" are entirely inconsequential anyway.
mircea_popescu: it'll be a pretty funny decade, ustards crowding retarddit to coordinate wikitardia articles about who's the "real" president of the most serene republic &c
mircea_popescu: they got that world-famous logician anyways, VIRTUAL WALL
mircea_popescu: in other mildly concerning news, i notice that there's a header-article relation developing. if there's naked girls ima pen a frisky article, if there's a serious doctoral mug ima pen a serios theoretic piece, yet i swear i have no idea at the onset (the box where i put things in dun load the header, for one). it's sheer coincidence, yet it seems to have held for the past 3 or 4 pieces!
mircea_popescu: granted if they don't leave and maduro doesn't put them in ice, the situation's resolved the other way.
mircea_popescu: if they leave, derpy imaginary president has to explain it. experience shows he WILL, and the "followers" WILL swallow whatever he says.
mircea_popescu: there's no option here : if they stay, maduro arrests them, "hostage situation" doesn't really wash, us stuck spending next 10 years "negotiating" with a maduro it put in a better position than kim ever was.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: 0 bombs fly roflmao, what, so there can be a case of us ambassador hung in bolivar square ?
mircea_popescu: because they found the perfect thing to hang tyhem over, maduro can just arrest them and bye-bye posturing.
mircea_popescu: nor is there such a thing as Venezuala. did you get your vowels knotted up there ?
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo "He/She/You can == Puede" << no you belongs there.
mircea_popescu: yes, because not readily computable the reverse, "which number are these liars for"
mircea_popescu: which is also why there exists such a thing as m-r witness sets, ie sets of witnesses guaranteed to not be false up to a certain value of candidates
mircea_popescu: much like in the case of usual gcd -- checking a random number for divisibility with 2 provides a much larger benefit (eliminates 50% of candiates) than checking a random number for divisibility with 15,485,863, which only eliminates 0.000% of candidates.
mircea_popescu: specifically because density is uniform, if you ~only~ check say 64 bit numbers as witnesses (ie, nothing smaller than 2^63) there's a set of composites < certain limit that'll pass ; whereas if you only check 1-63 bit numbers (so the same ~number~ of numbers) there's a set of composites that'll pass, but they're LARGER than the same limit.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it is counterintuitively actually better to test with smaller integers than larger ones.
mircea_popescu: keks of all time, the imaginary "civil society" is gonna benefit from ustardation.
mircea_popescu: stupidity characteristically doesn't learn from others' personal history -- but if there ever was an example of why the bootblack ~does NOT~ want to raise above his crepidam...
mircea_popescu: that poor guy, incidentally. first they told him he can be university professor! and he believed. and, unending misery, can barely read, yet has to "teach" constitutional law.
mircea_popescu: no explicit we either, but at least puts all the accents in the intended places, it's just how you communicate the notion in spanish.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo honestly i'd expect the least ambiguous rendering of "yes we can" would be "si que podemos!"
mircea_popescu: right, si is ambiguously yes and if, therefore "if it's permissible" is perfectly valid translation.
mircea_popescu: like so : impudent while it flows and confused when it stops.
mircea_popescu: this is their exact future, decade or two down the road, now that they've blown their chance.
mircea_popescu: i can see that word making a republican career. "buncha latibulizers!!!"
mircea_popescu: "TOR is a software that with a utter enormous vivid concealed allows you to latibulize from prying eyes the exemplary shooting go together you do and did on the Internet." ?!
mircea_popescu: just, you know, illiterate simpletons in no sense romanian, because you can't be romanian without ready access to cultural reference, the entire nation exists of naught else.
