mircea_popescu: but much like in the case of "metal detectors" in airports, going for about as long, the goal was never THAT.
mircea_popescu: the multi-bn-dollar neutron-detector-at-shipping-interfaces programme, going for well over three decades already, has captured exactly 0 anything.
mircea_popescu: by the time powerful entity sends ddos wave prior to dirty bombs, police's not a useful expense.
mircea_popescu: two people have an argument and one gets really angry, police can fix this. random derp gets overexcited tries to ship smoke detector shavings to ex gf's mother, police can fix this.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: not exactly. lafond makes this point, re the difference between a police force and a militia. you can't expect the police to protect you against organised violence. it works entirely and strictly for disorganised violence.
mircea_popescu: very much like, say, a trichinelosis detector. you ~want~ someone somewhere to have these, keep them well oiled and force manufacturers to burn any and all carcasses that come positive.
mircea_popescu: yeah, but even if tomorrow you're the king and queen of earth, you'll be stuck trying to control pu shipments, want it or not.
mircea_popescu: with grafitti it's more a matter of execution whether it is or it isn;t
mircea_popescu: i can appreciate the "information wants to be free" "legalize dope" etc angle, but i dunno what exactly is the idea. anyone seriously intending to administer anything will have a ban on moving plutonium around.
mircea_popescu: in fairness, he was going on oil for a while now. carly fiorina, srsly ?! that bitch could sunk a blue chip. o wait - she did!
mircea_popescu: there's more kludge that needs to go. such as, internet connectivity.

mircea_popescu: we were kinda in the middle of things with that when interrupted.
mircea_popescu: there's a difference between "why should i suck your cock" "because it's here" and "why should i suck your cock, because he says i'm a slut ???".
mircea_popescu: such problems can only be solved by the problematizer and for himself.
mircea_popescu: "this doesn't solve the problem of the sun looking at me funny" "this is not a problem" "am i thick or what ?!" "no, you're just the sort of fellow that's decided afore the fact that the sun can look at you funny and this matters."
mircea_popescu: if anyone wants to get the archive, base64 and deed it...
mircea_popescu: trinque it hasta be clicked, because otherwise you realise, botted into the ground.
mircea_popescu kinda sees this future, derpy eggs on wheels going around smouldering ruins that used to be us towns, "STOP! Or I'll call you a bad name!"
mircea_popescu: stupid ho screaming "nonono" with hands stuffed in ears is still getting raped, just like any other.

mircea_popescu: because, much like in the case of the miners getting caugvht with pants down, there is THIS interval right here.
mircea_popescu: ascii_butugychag seeing how sks itself reports them from 2002 to whatever, 2012, i dunno. lol.
