mircea_popescu: yeah well, maybe they only turn them on when airborne to save on headlamp fluid.
mircea_popescu: airplane is merely annoying to fly. too many blinkenlichten and shit.
mircea_popescu: think about it in these terms : 1. i can sail, and actually used to be / could be very good at it (right body type) ; 2. i could afford a yacht, what. 3. i don't either. ???
mircea_popescu: trust me. after the 9999th winch tick, it's against your will.
mircea_popescu: actually fuck that. you ever been on a yacht ? by been i mean > 6 hours.
mircea_popescu: in the way where they make sense in your emulation in places they make no sense irl.
mircea_popescu: and you demand fiction make sense, and so end up with very... unrealistic versions of said fuckers.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i suspect your chief problem is that you go to school with your own internally emulated versions of irl fuckers.
mircea_popescu: phf i'm like the emperor-god xenomorph from the future, i go "what was that bullshit tv series from the early 90s with all the boats" and wihin minutes a woman pops the name. unfuckingbelivable.
mircea_popescu: that is the place where your "yacht rats" thing actually exists.
mircea_popescu: i can almost taste those stockings, being what EVERY girl had for a decade or so. each. and every. one.
mircea_popescu: sure. but not quite the same holy bible now and there as it was then.
mircea_popescu: [for this side of the iron curtain folks : insanely popular fashion mag because it included patterns for all items so pre-industrial girls and young women could make them at home. first western mag to be published in russia ; and in china. easily beat anything cosmo ever was or could be.]
mircea_popescu: this "pedigreed yacht rats" exists strictly in your imagination, as a derivative product of 1970s Burda.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform amusingly, 100 years ago one couldn't be ru major unless german :D
mircea_popescu: though that was much more of a concern back before transportation
mircea_popescu: i could see (maybe) why you wouldn't want non-citizen grunts in the army.
mircea_popescu: it is classic "we're too inept to ever do anything so let's fuck around with paper all day instead".
mircea_popescu: eh, half the time there isn't who to ask what color to paint the walls, let alone substantial matters.
mircea_popescu: i never quite understood this "place of birth" fixation in [always B list] secret services.
mircea_popescu: also, afaik "american nondiscrimination laws" work strictly to protect enumerated groups. women, blacks, what have you. "foreign born white men" isn't on the list.
mircea_popescu: mircea_popescu> and does THE ONE THING. << anT i mean, obviously. heh.
mircea_popescu: but meanwhile - no, the Βασιλεύς Βασιλέων, Βασιλεύων Βασιλευόντων is not paying any of them anything.
mircea_popescu: the "western civilisation" may survive only in this limited sense.
mircea_popescu: so they'll fuck around with the rings, forever. hopefully their children will be raped into sanity. i'm doing a little towards that, if the children happen to be easy on the eyes and female. that'sall.
mircea_popescu: an order to remove rings is equiv to a death setence, for them.
mircea_popescu: as children, they stuck their head in a ring. then they kept adding rings.
mircea_popescu: these people are what has come to mean in english "scientists". they will do the thing they do, no matter what.
mircea_popescu: look : they're what they are. this is pointedly not us. the difference between man and and is that ant is specialized physiologically. man can drop what he's doing and do something else, or pick a different set of tools, or approach, or whatever.
mircea_popescu: hey, it's a seclist! what do you want them to discuss.
mircea_popescu: pointedly not what happened there. what happened there was, "this kid made an airplane ; this other retarded kid made a playdough blob. the first kid called him retarded. let's list them in order : playdough blob ; airplane. let people fly with whichever they choose."
mircea_popescu: i wouldn't bother. let them sort it out on their own, what.
mircea_popescu: how did that george costanza quote go, "but mr tuttle, consider i'm in the smaller office!"
mircea_popescu: obviously, they're going to copy whatever phuctor publishes, which is fine but also rather obvious.
mircea_popescu: anyway, in practical terms - so he references both. good for him. anyone interested in doing some work can look at either site and proceed. i can't find any useful item AT ALL on factorable net. not as much as a factor or anything. some vague discussions in summary of supposed finds substantiated in no manner. if this is science you can also be pope, why not.
mircea_popescu: "There are even weirder examples, though - e.g., one of Phuctor's factors is 0x115CFF61CFECFF61BE9, where we see three 32-bit limbs satisfying: limb[1] = limb[0] + limb[2] and also limb[2] is small and thus likely didn't come from a CSPRNG, but possibly from uninitialized memory." << very good point. this person's actually intelligent.
mircea_popescu: phf yes, and the domain was reigstered in 2012. this doesn't serve here : they have to have history specifically in the things discussed. otherwise, it's not unlike someone applying to a job requiring 5000 hours of flight experience on the basis of his driving license from 1993. fine.. but ?
mircea_popescu: o nice find BingoBoingo ! check out the paydirt quote asciilifeform :
mircea_popescu: yet another rush job brought to you by drhoaxtoshi.labs
mircea_popescu: anyway, lettuce read on teh bbc the stuff they read on trilema back in january 2015 and took a year and a half to digest! clearly "the media" is relevant, influential and what was the other one.
mircea_popescu: some people gotta see their eviscerated children. each his own./
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform until i hear different, actual scientists involved have no fault some imbecile "journalist" / online whore dragged their name in.
mircea_popescu: lol. i dun think he got time for that, too buys [could have] discovering quantum cold fusion.
