asciilifeform: none of them adding up to ~anything

asciilifeform: so it will be 1945 all over again, offers of 'separate peace' from himmlers, bormanns, etc. left and right

asciilifeform: he knows that the noose is waiting

asciilifeform: it is like expecting hitler to surrender

asciilifeform: and i don't see this 'quit and submit' thing ever being a thing

asciilifeform: reddit vermin are an ~inexhaustible resource

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-05-20#1469135 << explain this. i dun see how the cost of generating additional gavins is any higher now than in 2012 ☝︎

asciilifeform: 'nein nein nein nein nein!111'

asciilifeform: i can picture black 'sectera' phone ringing on hitler's desk, 'ft meade, we need moar time, secp256k1 is still standing' 'lose the other division, or LOSE YERSELF!1211111'

asciilifeform: 'last conclusive push!1111'

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the ants perhaps desire a stalingrad.

asciilifeform: uncooperative cn minerz will have 'accidental' fires, etc.

asciilifeform: (7y is a plenty long time to set up nsa mine, neh ?)

asciilifeform: and other tiltatrons

asciilifeform: possibly the intel cluster will be brought up;

asciilifeform: unheard-of marvels will be seen, e.g., minerz paid in megatonnes of fresh printolade, thread, & broken glass, not to mine

asciilifeform: i did pr3d1ct!111111

asciilifeform: in mircea_popescu's picture, is it simply that the termites have gnawed long enough at the support columns ?

asciilifeform: [various derpage re july halving] << can somebody explain why this halving is supposed to be a mega-apocalypse vs the LAST HALVING ??

asciilifeform: 'Even though core says they are ok with a hard fork to 2MB (they have it on their own roadmap, just very far in the future), they refuse to prioritize it. They prefer to withhold something that could help the network now...' << these folks never give up

asciilifeform: 'And if no perfect solution exists they seem ok with inaction, even if that puts bitcoin at risk.' << gold.

asciilifeform: mit is wide.

asciilifeform: these won't run out any time soon

asciilifeform: iirc mircea_popescu explained that ar is surrendering to usg

asciilifeform: if they don't

asciilifeform: obummer will push button in his desk and angela merckel's shock collar will go off ?

asciilifeform: has to why ?

asciilifeform: pr0gr3555555.

asciilifeform: and it will be done, by using moar ground up rat meat

asciilifeform: at any rate, with people being idiots, i fully expect 'bring back $1 burgerz, motherfuckers' graffiti after monsanto dies

asciilifeform: or at least, had.

asciilifeform: i will point out that we have 'go home obama' here.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: 'vox' article linked because it is a handy illustration of how usg 't-cells' attack whatever foreign object. mr mold is getting same treatment, for nth year in a row now, as phuctor for past yr. i.e. sprayed in coating of 'pre-discredited, move along' claptrap

asciilifeform: thing is a variation on sweat gland, after all.

asciilifeform: and whether ~these~ leak milk.

asciilifeform: PeterL: discussion was about NON-NURSING women

asciilifeform: not because expensive.

asciilifeform: it is expensive because osha

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: aha, i mixed him up with birch

asciilifeform: $up PeterL

asciilifeform: that was j birch

asciilifeform: or hm nm

asciilifeform: buckley was iirc the closest thing to organized sanity in his period/usa.

asciilifeform: ^ mr mold gets the hanno boeck treatment

asciilifeform: http://www.vox.com/2016/4/18/11434098/alt-right-explained

asciilifeform: in other slightly time-delayed lulz,

asciilifeform: tends to get phuctored.

asciilifeform: 'I find it very disturbing that there seems to be very little response from popular OS distributions to this issue. Most do not appear to have issued any package updates to close the shell exploit. Perhaps the opinion is that major new versions will be introduced as part of major distribution releases and it is ok for users to exposed to problems for two or three years.'

asciilifeform: http://seclists.org/oss-sec/2016/q2/371

asciilifeform: in otherlulz,

asciilifeform: 3218 transistors...

asciilifeform: 'disintegrated circuit'

asciilifeform: http://monster6502.com/?ct=t(2016_WDC_Digital_65xx_Voice_Newsletter_2016)

asciilifeform: in other nyooz, re 'ic fab in kitchen',

asciilifeform: >> http://btcbase.org/log/2013-11-13#378362 << ☝︎

asciilifeform: aha, story is in the l0gz

asciilifeform: in porous gloves.

asciilifeform: there was robot, which i was reversing and writing soft for, but meanwhile actual work was done by gurlz

asciilifeform: (in vitro)

asciilifeform: we were doing 'high throughput screening' of compounds from massive library of random crud

asciilifeform: go try yourself.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: 'taste'

asciilifeform: where is the moterfuckign $s

asciilifeform: (see l0gz re asciilifeform and dmso!)

asciilifeform: or they couldn't find monkeys willing to dmso

asciilifeform: whatever it was, the re-discoverers billed 200+m usd.

asciilifeform: perhaps he knew why.

asciilifeform: PeterL still around ?

asciilifeform: for the foam-making

asciilifeform: you prolly need the polar aprotic aspect

asciilifeform: (aggressive solvent, a place where i used to wurk had massive tanks hooked to dna synthesizer, to clean the pipez)

asciilifeform: rather than in shipped product

asciilifeform: likely it was used simply in manufacture

asciilifeform: it was so that 'hey i have a tank column here and berlin is 50km away, i need moar neutrons and less thermal'

asciilifeform: rather than security measure

asciilifeform: incidentally, iirc the 'enter constants before launch' thing was originally 'dial-a-yield'

asciilifeform: ever since they made peace with the su bomb

asciilifeform: this is the explicit doctrine of 'anti-proliferation' from the get-go

asciilifeform: whole thing was intended as ~anti-theft~ measure, against 'indian who found the rifle on dead english'

asciilifeform: and if you can do this, you probably already own nuke

asciilifeform: massive headache

asciilifeform: 'decent physicist' who took the entire thing apart, measured the actual geometries of everything, incl. thickness of gold plating on the pu pit, etc

asciilifeform: it wasn't a security-by-obscurity thing

asciilifeform: originally there wasn't even a chip, just analogue knobs.

asciilifeform: which is a good chunk of the work of building the thing to begin with.

asciilifeform: idea is that to get the desired answers, you have to properly reverse-engineer, and grasp, the bomb geometry.

asciilifeform: and ...?

asciilifeform: before dropping the bomb.

asciilifeform: you had to key'em in.

asciilifeform: weren't in the box

asciilifeform: iirc the way it worked was that the actual timing constants needed for yield Y, e.g., 'pop squib s1, then after t1 ns, squib s2... then after tN, run neutron gen tube for tN' ns, ...'

asciilifeform: the bomb.

asciilifeform: the params

asciilifeform: again, they ~aren't in there~

asciilifeform: and aren't actually present in the stolen box.

asciilifeform: because they are part of the valuable mojo that went into crafting the thing

asciilifeform: but idea being, you don't know the desired outputs.

asciilifeform: e

asciilifeform: --> fizzl

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: fuzz what? it will happily pop, but with wrong timings
