BingoBoingo: Pickle jar and vintage pyrex the same
mircea_popescu: so use pyrex. there's unbreakable glass what.
BingoBoingo: Lol, in other lols the "no glass by the pool" is a common thing here too. "OMG Invisibru!!!"
mircea_popescu: keks, bitcoin crash going to meet litecoin "market cap".
mircea_popescu: aaand in other pointy hat humour : https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/4f/The_Imperial_German_Army_1890_-_1913_HU68476.jpg General Adjutant Graf von Hulsen-Haeseler (Chief of the Kaiser's Military Cabinet, sixth from left, died one pleasant evening after dinner, while performing a pas seul dressed in a woman's ballet tutu for wilhelm 2 and other prussian noblemen in attendance.
mircea_popescu: what do you suppose you give 16 yo bedouin girl as a love gift ? smartphone enouigh to watch netflix, neh ?
asciilifeform: discovery in the chukcha-discovers-rotgut sense.
asciilifeform: bedouin could have the last laugh : did not discover airplane, but also did not discover reddit.
mircea_popescu: and i am starting to see the point of us military strategists a lot clearer thjan i ever did these days. just because the chinese got together a bunch of rockets doesn't automatically mean anything.
mircea_popescu: "technological transfer" is no discovering.
mircea_popescu: in any case, it's not even that the us HASN'T written "the great american novel", as the historical consideration. it's that IT WON'T. and similarily, it's not that africa never discovered madagascar -- it's that IT NEVER WILL. and so following, bedouins never discovered flight NOR WILL THEY.
mircea_popescu: also the one nuke anyone likes to think they can outrun.
asciilifeform: time is the slow, guaranteed nuke.
mircea_popescu: or in other words, the nukes never posed any kind of threat to "the continuance of humanity" ; whereas the slow and painless devolvement into a sort of easter island / hawaiian "happines" through embalmed imbecility quite literally does.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the point here is that it's not a system. i suspect it's a stock. it's something of the nature of the servant and his tribe, not something of the manner of the servant and its tribe. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: as i sure as fuck don't have the energy to dribble personally into each one,.
mircea_popescu: from mouth to mouth.
mircea_popescu: girls passing on their master's... essence let's say.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: wat's in that pic -- 2ndhand bukkake ?
asciilifeform: can rewrite this equation if you will, that we only know newton because he lived in system where his servant, for various reasons, did not eat him
mircea_popescu: either you get that working or madagascar.
mircea_popescu: which circumstance makes me thing that http://78.media.tumblr.com/969bdde9852e908a43437df68d990fcc/tumblr_nljckvEPJ41tv1mk8o1_400.gif is the absolute best depiction of human culture that could ever be devised. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: and the manservant, impudent as any african, costa rican, argentinian etcetera, NEVERTHELESS OBEYED.
mircea_popescu: but the important point isn't "the people", those don't matter. the important point is that mylord newton, an otherwise busy man, did take time out of penning his alchemical considerations to point out to impudent man servant that if the boots don't need to be shined every night, the manservant doesn't need to be fed ever day, either. DID TAKE THE TIME.
a111: Logged on 2017-06-20 17:19 asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: stalin, supposedly, once said to his friends, 'history divides into three eras, matriarchate, patriarchate, and secretariate'
asciilifeform: i thought 'nonviolent savages' lived in the same place as cynocephali
mircea_popescu: and there's lots of heuristics available. like, the nonviolent ones ? always regress. the matriarch-centered ones ? always regress. those with linguistic ergativity ? always regress. and so following.
mircea_popescu: and this is a fundamental differentiator of ethnic groups. some develop and some regress.
asciilifeform: there was at one time one of these at the uni where asciilifeform went
mircea_popescu: then they...
mircea_popescu: then, they wouldn't wear the aprons ALL the time
mircea_popescu: first, they wouldn't take the garbage out EVERY night anymore
mircea_popescu: imagine how a mcdonalds work if the blacks manning it were in charge.
mircea_popescu: you get a beach resort, however tiny, famous for its rampant prostitution, build a perfectly workable brothel, and the dumb whores there located will self-organise into doing ever less work, until finally it's just standing around.
mircea_popescu: that's the fucking difference here, you understand me ? in costa rica, which is still populated by subhuman stock just like madagascar or egypt or etcetera, what they do with their time is chisel civilisation back down to their herbivore needs.
mircea_popescu: "perfectly capable of sitting inside someone's cellar, hand-making shitty rifles in the unverified belief that ww2 still rages above, cca 1970 ?" YES! certainly. "dumb enough to imagien can't bring acordeon to hospital to break patriarch free because ourdemocracy.,rules ?" absolutely not. "boring enough to just sit on ass and chew hay like a fucking herbivore ?" nope, never.
mircea_popescu: none of them, honestly, were african level retarded.
asciilifeform: how about the antiserbs ?
mircea_popescu: EXCEPT!!! you see, except the serbs were never this fuckign stupid. i'm not even sure how to qualify it, but there's a substantial difference between the two items.
asciilifeform: 'On 26 June 2016, a grenade explosion killed two people and injured at least 50 others during celebrations to mark Independence Day in Antananarivo.' << pretty great
asciilifeform: i'm not aware that 'everythings' ever did work there
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i think "everything" as we understand it stopped working there cca 1900.
mircea_popescu: but anyone who is either french or lived in france any length of time knows that france is in fact just a dumber, shittier usg. though built way earlier, by FEWER locals.
asciilifeform: ( re madagascar : apparently on top of other joys, now has confirmed black plague. )
mircea_popescu: i'd much appreciate a thorough challenge of this point, it's mindboggling.
mircea_popescu: this line yields the very amusingly 1917s socialist view that in order for republicanism to take over, the prerequisite stage is first pantsuitism taking over.
mircea_popescu: madagascar isn't a unique example, either. it's just a very anthropologically convenient one, very clean and pure so to speak.
mircea_popescu: this wasn't a copy job. this was "average human" reaching deep down and reconstructing usg.
mircea_popescu: i am satisfied they had NO FUCKING IDEA what the usg was.
asciilifeform: when orcs make the straw plane, they don't make wunderbar mega-improved glider, no; but straw boeing.
mircea_popescu: ie, the official propaganda actually has a point in its narrow domain of applicability.
mircea_popescu: which is my point here : globalism is an absolute necessity for usgistans. if you permit "independent", "sovereign", "national" whatever ourdemocracies you will get WORSE results than from the global one.
mircea_popescu: they creted their very own usg ; it works EXACTLY the same way as the larger one, except it's made by even dumber people / inbred islander idiots, and it shows. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform also a very interesting case study for my needs, because genuinely sovereign morons. do you know there's a major lynching thing going on ? whereby they form mobs, throw rocks at people for a few hours then set them aflame ?
asciilifeform: populated by... tamils ? ( on account of monkeys never finding it )
asciilifeform: i can draw it on the map if you rub it out. and iirc 'independent' (took turns whoring for britain and france) in 19th c to present day...
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform take the fine example of madagascar. what do you know about present day madagascar for my curiosity ?
mircea_popescu: rather, the notion that life can be separated into "the parts we wish to think about" and "the inappropriate parts" which can be safely ignored.
asciilifeform: same, yes, fundamental fallacy as 'bayesianism' -- notion being that the work of understanding something, can be farmed out to machine
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i went for various baths of essernce d'subnormal these past days. most heads don't fit anything whatsoever.
asciilifeform: 'a usg will always be found for the stupid' or how it went.
asciilifeform: it however is a gangrene that will grow ANYWHERE where fits-in-head is not an iron principle.
mircea_popescu: in exactly the manner global warmism has absolutely nothing to do with science ; or "bayesian methods" with ai.
mircea_popescu: exactly. it has ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with mathematical proof.
mircea_popescu: ftr i don't accept that "proven".
asciilifeform: '...4-way handshake was mathematically proven as secure... the properties that were proven in formal analysis of the 4-way handshake remain true. However, the problem is that the proofs do not model key installation. Put differently, the formal models did not define when a negotiated key should be installed. In practice, this means the same key can be installed multiple times, thereby resetting nonces and replay counters used by the
trinque: funny stuff. gonna disable that feed for now
mircea_popescu: fine example of how complexity builds itself out of small, well understood parts over time :D
asciilifeform: that shouldn't work tho, the original was simply nosuchlabs.com/rss
mircea_popescu: sorry trinque
mircea_popescu: break all embargoes and let them fuck themselves.
mircea_popescu: fuck the tards. there is 0 reason to work with the usg tendrils in any field and in any capacity.
asciilifeform: losure deadline was around the end of August. As a compromise, I allowed them to silently patch the vulnerability. In hindsight this was a bad decision, since others might rediscover the vulnerability by inspecting their silent patch. To avoid this problem in the future, OpenBSD will now receive vulnerability notifications closer to the end of an embargo.'
asciilifeform: in other lulz, 'OpenBSD was notified of the vulnerability on 15 July 2017, before CERT/CC was involved in the coordination. Quite quickly, Theo de Raadt replied and critiqued the tentative disclosure deadline: “In the open source world, if a person writes a diff and has to sit on it for a month, that is very discouraging”. Note that I wrote and included a suggested diff for OpenBSD already, and that at the time the tentative disc
mircea_popescu: me too.
mircea_popescu: trinque i was wondering the same thing
trinque: I checked the rss feed itself; it's definitely not that.
trinque: how in the fuck is only trilema duping

alex__c: so.. do I have to join #eulora specifically to get an account for the game?
mircea_popescu adds this to his private "annals of orc history", in there with the scottish empire at darien and stuffs. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: bombarding their own (multiple times, various victims) and most notably the ship orly-lol firing nigh on 1`000 rounds WITHOUT HITTING ANYTHING.
mircea_popescu: lulz of all fucking time, russians got the idea the japanese are in the north sea, started shooting at each other, and at random fishing boats. also reported being attacked by u-boats, being BOARDED, drawing cutlasses,
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform btw, do you happen to know about the dogger bank incident ?
mircea_popescu: ah that was an easy log. i was worried there for a minute.
mircea_popescu: engineering today, MIT & beyond.
mircea_popescu: "in the most likely airflight scenario, the pilot doesn't even need a highschool equivalency degree, just sit there and watch the pretty lights. not like all planes are going to crash".
mircea_popescu: this is exactly the automattic bs, "oh, this hole is not a problem because attackers can't use it"
asciilifeform: rom each radio to the next, and from there on -- worm outward, etc
asciilifeform: 'In the most likely attack scenario, the hacker would have to directly connect to the Wi-Fi access point, and so would need to be within physical proximity to the router. "This attack doesn't scale," noted Alan Woodward, encryption expert from the University of Surrey. "It's a very targeted attack. Not like we're all going to be hit as attackers can only be in so many Wi-Fi zones at once."' << choice nonsense -- as if you can't hop f
