asciilifeform: nuland & co. don't personally relish sitting in a hot zone

asciilifeform: ua will run on usg diesel until ragnarok

asciilifeform: at any rate, usg has quite likely already sent the same disassembly squads they used in bulgaria

asciilifeform thought that this was well-known

asciilifeform: mod6: they do though

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=24-12-2015#1351909 << from the standpoint of the other fella, turning on your fellow soldiers ~is~ a psychotic act ☝︎

asciilifeform: gotta ask him

asciilifeform: mod6: bdbism

asciilifeform: sounds like a b0rk3d db

asciilifeform: 'rome does not pay traitors'

asciilifeform: (he actually thought that he might be trusted with serious business in su, imagine)

asciilifeform: k. philby famously drank himself to death on account of this

asciilifeform: that most healthy cultures piss on turncoats

asciilifeform: one of the reasons why there are not more defections among the house slaves is,

asciilifeform: but in re: mathematics:

asciilifeform: and yes their goodbye letter (it leaked out, iirc, years later) mentioned chicks

asciilifeform: but m & m wanted to go straight for the 'wedding'

asciilifeform: the detectives were baffled because they only looked for the simple knobs - bag of money; or failing that, 'ideological rot'

asciilifeform: schmuck thought that 'su respects maths! i will be respected!11111'

asciilifeform: from the actual words of m & m, in as far as they have been recorded in su, it was (in at least the case of the domainant fella, i forget which one that was) on account of... mathematics

asciilifeform: that was the demented summary aha

asciilifeform: aha, bulk of the turd is literally about this.

asciilifeform: well, yes, normally you need something to make the money stick

asciilifeform: (with money)

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: bribe in the ordinary sense

asciilifeform: but as far as publicly known, neither martin nor mitchell was running 'from sins'

asciilifeform: (not that you could actually bribe a usian, in those days, to move to su)

asciilifeform: aha.

asciilifeform: m and m blew the usg minds for the simple reason that, as far as anybody could tell, they weren't bribed

asciilifeform: or how they tried to hunt down everybody with whom they... played chess

asciilifeform: and the tone with which the usgdroids describe one of the fellas watching japanese strippers diddle one another, it must be read to be appreciated.

asciilifeform: 'Martin and Mitchell's effects reveal their interest and activity in photography, music, Russian language, French, and travel. Mitchell also possesses much athletic and sporting equipment, firearms, and a large liquor supply.' ☟︎

asciilifeform: any old usaschwitz inmate knows: 1960 in usa was the middle of 'the fifties'

asciilifeform: (p.79)

asciilifeform: !s kamkin

asciilifeform: l0l! even viktor kamkin bookstore (rip) and its owners figured in the case!

asciilifeform: etc.

asciilifeform: also many, many pages on 'suspected' masochism

asciilifeform: (tldr: the brass, in at least as far as the Official Truth doc releases reveal, were obsessed with whether m & m were buggering one another and spent millions investigating this)

asciilifeform: 'Martin is said to have criticized American women and marital laws. Martin and Mitchell have both been described as socially awkward and Mitchell has been described as unsophisticated and naive about the practical world.' (p.60) ☟︎

asciilifeform suspects that he reads moar of it, and more attentively, than the pro gurlz

asciilifeform is about halfway in

asciilifeform: strictly for pro entomologists!

asciilifeform: from megaturd http://documents.theblackvault.com/documents/nsa/75791A.pdf

asciilifeform: 'Idiosyncrasies : Eats raw chicken because he likes the taste.' << from mitchell's fbi file

asciilifeform: (was cheap ripoff of DES, and deliberately)

asciilifeform: the book is interesting not only from anthropological pov but also because it reveals why 'gost' is a piece of shit

asciilifeform: and built a kind of first-rate maths school cum military academy

asciilifeform: when martin & mitchell famously ran away from nsa to su in 1960, su decided to open own nsa

asciilifeform: i've been reading it for a couplea days now and it's a riot.

asciilifeform: ;;later tell phf http://mikhailmasl.livejournal.com/4852.html << mega-b00k. afaik never published in dead tree. the only known memoir of mathematician working in kgb, lived through the '90s no less. the fella who designed that crackpot calculator for central bank. ☟︎

asciilifeform: i don't recall my recipe needing understanding

asciilifeform: shinohai: what was the issue

asciilifeform: anything with a gcc available

asciilifeform: you can build for whateverthefuck you like, build for nintendo, build for cray

asciilifeform: and also 'rotor' is a generalization of it

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=24-12-2015#1351578 << anybody who wants to build for ARM can use my recipe, it is in the ml, and it wurx ☝︎

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=24-12-2015#1351584 << to mutilate the old saying, 'things oughta be as easy to use as possible, but not easier' ☝︎

asciilifeform: srsly what part of this is hard to understand.

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=24-12-2015#1351721 << it is a turd and barely works for the purpose it was designed for. and NO MOTHERFUCKING SQL in bitcoin ☝︎☟︎

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=24-12-2015#1351715 << even initial sync has vastly more reads than writes. thinkaboutit ☝︎

asciilifeform: it's an intro blob for 'mba' to read

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=24-12-2015#1351654 << y'know, the janitor's schedule at ft meade is also classified. 'sources & methods' (tm) (r) ☝︎

asciilifeform: uk is just an 'unsinkable aircraft carrier' for usg. like taiwan.

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=24-12-2015#1351650 << this flowed predictably out of the post-ww2 bitchdom that gave us orwell's apt 'airstrip one' ☝︎

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=24-12-2015#1351645 << kinda funny, same thing petro-pipe-era (1970s+) su used to do to the west (funded 'activism!11111' against fission, etc) ☝︎

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: if laptop needs external cooling, it's a pos ☟︎

asciilifeform: (usg is happy to preside over the mothballing of perfectly-working su nuke plants, this is a very effective colonization instrument)

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=24-12-2015#1351639 << it'll happen with usg diesel dispensed on usurious credit - as in bulgaria ☝︎

asciilifeform: (and yes recent intel boxes have precisely same issue)

asciilifeform: which is not something a sane person would want on a node

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=24-12-2015#1351575 << i tried it! on pi-1. not enough i/o bandwidth. but the problem with all 'pi' machines is rather different - it is the presence of a dedicated, always-on usg mysterymeat cpu core ☝︎

asciilifeform: i bet even colourblind fella will notice.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu get thee to an electronics shop and sneak a peek at the abomination. e.g., 'samsung s2 tablet' etc.

asciilifeform: 'good enough for arsebook'

asciilifeform: because 'who wants to read text'

asciilifeform: it has dancing buzzing crud around the edges when your eyes move

asciilifeform: in the pentile shit, TEXT IS NOT BLACK

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=24-12-2015#1351572 << i ~also~ like old newsprint. but not simply from the moire pattern in the photos, but because TEXT WAS BLACK ☝︎

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=24-12-2015#1351565 << bad picture. the effect is considerably less annoying in photos, and virtually invisible in a video - which is HOW THEY GOT AWAY with having SHARED blue pixels ☝︎

asciilifeform: (unless i misread ??)

asciilifeform: and it boggles my mind that this was being considered, even in passing

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=24-12-2015#1351554 << i will take no part in anything involving java in whatever capacity. ☝︎☟︎

asciilifeform: i don't ever want to see a task state segment again. and don't see why i oughta.

asciilifeform: and meanwhile...

asciilifeform: '19 nuclear reactors are in operation, with 2 more supposedly under construction. And this is in a country whose economy is in free-fall and is set to approach that of Mali or Burundi! The nuclear fuel for these reactors was being supplied by Russia. An effort to replace the Russian supplier with Westinghouse failed because of quality issues leading to an accident.'

asciilifeform: also a great many firms that do reversing for no-questions-asked-mostly-usg

asciilifeform: also some firms that deal in 'discovery' (legal term)

asciilifeform: a couple banks, oddly enough

asciilifeform: (on west coast of usa, same)

asciilifeform: mats: if you were to move to mordor, there is a cataclysmic undersupply of reversers
