asciilifeform: from also same rag, moar gold, 'A Pennsylvania man was convicted Tuesday of sexually assaulting six young sisters married off by their parents in return for financial support.... The verdict came almost a year after police said they found Kaplan living with 12 females at his Feasterville home, including an 18-year-old who prosecutors said was "gifted" to him after he provided financial support for her parents.'

mircea_popescu: i expect it's entirely because never been touched.
hanbot: mircea_popescu i wonder what proportion of nonblacks' failure in that regard owes to not having been picked on "enough", vs what "communities"
asciilifeform: in other amerilulz from same rag, https://archive.is/Bxot3 >> 'In a report published Sunday, Pyongyang's state-run Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) accused US Department of Homeland Security officers and airport police of taking a diplomatic package away from the delegation, which it said carried a valid diplomatic courier certificate. KCNA called the incident "an illegal and heinous act of provocation," adding that US authorities b
mircea_popescu: pass teh doritos!
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform kinda how the shit works, huh.
mircea_popescu: an' they're leading it.
mircea_popescu: the whole "stigmatize criminal gang pretending to enforce law" is a true conceptual revolution, much more so than piddly efforts such as "destigmatize faggotry"
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: there's a pretty long list of things that being shot by police - beats
mircea_popescu: amusingly, black communities are the forward thinkers on this score.
hanbot: mircea_popescu if stigma successfully attached to law enforcement people'd have to stop mindlessly doing what they say, which might require thought, or worse yet, initiative, and meh pass the doritos.
a111: Logged on 2017-06-19 17:09 asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: elementarily, 'unless' - e.g. d00d shot by cops in his own house (plenty of these every week, and the white-skinned ones ~nobody documents in usa) gets neither judge nor jury, etc
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-06-19#1672280 << and yet you still opt to live there! ☝︎
asciilifeform: '"It got to the point that he was apologizing to her, ... apologizing to her for not being dead yet,"' << lel
mircea_popescu: yet in the country where the idiots think "discussing your salary is a social faux pas", the social stigma still attaches to "accused of" rather than to "law" enforcement.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: elementarily, 'unless' - e.g. d00d shot by cops in his own house (plenty of these every week, and the white-skinned ones ~nobody documents in usa) gets neither judge nor jury, etc ☟︎
mircea_popescu: if it doesn't do anything, then you get.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform unless the unless, you get, sure.
mircea_popescu: hanbot traditionally why that's done, eg in japan.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform either that or "mandatory minimum".
hanbot: the rationale of which iirc was supposed to be that a judge would be less affected by her "bad attitude" in the texts or somesuch.
hanbot: mircea_popescu: no jury. they went with single judicial decision.
mircea_popescu: if anyone knows greater travesti than us trials by now, i'd like to hear wtf it is
mircea_popescu: ahahaah check that retarded shit out, jury actually came out with a guilty verdict. because "it's terribly terribly bad some loser bit it" and that's good enough a rationale.
asciilifeform: the 'bullying' trials aha
a111: Logged on 2017-06-19 16:51 asciilifeform: 'take this magic pill' -- sells. 'go eat nagant, you were a mistake of nature' -- doesn't
hanbot: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-06-19#1672255 << apparently saying the latter is now a criminal offense worthy of 20 years' time, in greatest country in the world. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: yeah. then again history does not record all.
mircea_popescu: hey, history contains 0 animated garbage bag and thousands of "i attained self-awareness, discovered i was bug, nagant'd."
asciilifeform: well it doesn't. just like my garbage bags won't walk to the dump by themselves, even if asked politely.
asciilifeform: 'take this magic pill' -- sells. 'go eat nagant, you were a mistake of nature' -- doesn't ☟︎
mircea_popescu: meanwhile the social media "red pill" is all about, and was born out of, purely ustardian "YOU TOO!!! could bla bla WITH THESE SECRETS I FOUND"
mircea_popescu: it's the only decent thing to do, and moreover an absolute moral obligation.
mircea_popescu: seriously now, see a loser, mock a loser. preferably to death, but if not to tears.
asciilifeform: ( see also mircea_popescu's '...bullying is done by normal, sane and upstanding humans who are trying to do their part so we don't live among monsters' -- http://trilema.com/2014/the-all-american-asshole-in-his-own-words-with-my-own-notes )
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform as discussed, 100% of the whole "let live" ie, keep all the 8 males around is simply socialism support pillar. to have equality, gotta fetter manhood.
asciilifeform: the other bit is that 'i'll die a hunchback, but hey i have a shovel and can enhunchback my neighbour, he will share in the misery' is a 'logical' process. the spartans, i suspect, understood this, i.e. it is catastrophically stupid to 'live and let live' the deformed. esp. the mentally deformed.
mircea_popescu: of course they won't, but reality is not part of the lincoln thought process. as alf says, studiously not.
mircea_popescu: "maybe if i fuck up the republic / burn the temple, people will remember me for that rather than for being so ugly monkeys averted their eyes / having a really ridiculously small penis."
mircea_popescu: hey, there's lotsa little ugly misshod misborn lincolns out there. and what they do is wreck countries, to assuage the overpowering intuition of their own inadequate insufficiency.
trinque: evokes a teenager taking passive aggression out on a wall.
mircea_popescu: trinque syria is little more than a firing range. used to be a country, but... went the way of the united states.
trinque: what, everyone's going to go punch syria harder, and from a slightly different angle?
mircea_popescu: very neatly follows the 1980s / 1990s transition
asciilifeform: phf: also at a certain point 'they don't know about tmsr' evaporates and turns into 'they studiously ignore, like bernstein'
mircea_popescu: the "Death of the zine" generally is an interesting epiphenomen of the intellectual check-out the internet brought.
trinque: all this war cocktease.
phf: i agree, there's only so many "we reversed this obscure tamagochi device" or "we figured out how to put SWF into a JPEG" articles one can read. but i just read it for the presentation. used to be a lot more zines in the late 90s early 2000s, so i suspect the whole poc||gtfo is a "thirsty man in the desert" thing
mircea_popescu: what, and lose out on all that insightful bullshit ?
shinohai: Trump is supposed to make America great again ... deport the Asst. Prof. back to Turkey!
asciilifeform: phf: i'll admit that my favourite thing in these is.. the ads
mircea_popescu: shinohai the problem with usoviet academiatards is that they "see the potential" in a very special definition of potential.
asciilifeform: hey i know a TCP jokehey i know a TCP jokehey i know a TCP jokehey i know a TCP jokehey i know a TCP jokehey i know a TCP jokehey i know a TCP joke[barf]
Framedragger: i, too, know

phf: "i know a good UDP joke, but i don't think you'll get it"
shinohai: "We are grateful to Vitalik Buterin for his insightful feedback on earlier drafts of this document." kek
shinohai: Repeat of the DAO in 3...2..1 .......
asciilifeform: 'Bancor ended up reimplementing their own functions for arithmetic. That is, their own add, subtract, multiply, and exponentiation. ... The sum total number of dedicated tests for these math functions is 6. Multiplication is tested solely by multiplying 2957 by 1740.' << lulzy
asciilifeform: evidently d00d is one of the chumps dismayed by the phase transition
a111: Logged on 2017-06-13 15:14 mircea_popescu: the hanno boecks always work in the same cycle. feeder phase where they "seem reasonable" and chumpatron phase where they shed the half-hour-horizon idiots who bought it.
asciilifeform: shinohai: see also thread http://btcbase.org/log/2017-06-13#1669509 ☝︎☟︎
shinohai: Ironic he writes this post as one of the biggest proponents of ETH out there
asciilifeform: and they're 20 year olds with two years of programming experience.'
asciilifeform: happen first, but A is guarded by B, and C ensures that B cannot happen." This is a temporal logic proof, over a certain code path. It's complex, fragile in the face of code evolution, and totally unacceptable in professional code development. We want flat, simple invariants, maintained by following best practices. Without regard for the correctness of the student's code, we grade such cases a 2 out of 10. They ought to know better,
asciilifeform: meanwhile, among the ethermonkeys, 'they have messy code paths, don't follow best practices, and happen to work by the skin of their teeth. The code works on a good day with the wind on its back. But when it comes to corner cases, things get awfully complex. In the course I teach, when I point out such situations to students, they go into a diatribe that goes "well, you see, the problem can't arise because for it to happen, A has to
mircea_popescu: of course, it depends how you count these things. international pantsuit party lost a buncha "invisible" planes to ru trained specialists working ru gear in eg serbia.
mircea_popescu: something like that.\
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: actually if you recall, this is the 2nd such proclamation
mircea_popescu: orcs are slower on the uptake, because everyone alive in 2017 apparently reall;y believes all the shit mommy said while daddy was absent.
asciilifeform: ( this counting only the announced ones )
mircea_popescu: to date ? wtf to date they just announced.
asciilifeform: # of 'international komyoonity' planes shot down, to date there, afaik : 0
asciilifeform: incidentally 'будут приниматься на сопровождение в качестве воздушных целей' could read more accurately as 'will be tracked as aerial targets', which can mean anything from 'shoot on sight' to 'we'll make angry faces'
mircea_popescu: which from what i hear a LOT of generals in the ru army really wish to do.
mircea_popescu: anyway. the (vehehehery unlikely) alternative is that the usoviets blather in a warlike direction and as a result the russians beat the chinese to the punch of "first usoviet aircraft carrier sunk".
mircea_popescu: (and then act surprised when you don't follow!)
mircea_popescu: they just randomly yet boldly go wherever their speech impediments carry them
mircea_popescu: there's no lizard point of any things.
asciilifeform: wasn't half the point of the syria thing, from lizard pov, to test current ru equipment ..?
mircea_popescu: when putting an embargo in, execution is more important than newspaperism.
shinohai: (Dunno if thier gmail addy survived lol)
shinohai: Also appears they shut down the communication line to coordinate airstrikes as well.
asciilifeform: ( 'from this moment on, in the sky of syria, ru aviation will treat any aircraft belonging to the west's international-coalition, such as are found west of euphrates, as aerial targets'
Framedragger: http://log.mkj.lt/trilema/20170619/#34 << this reminds me -- current UK PM's response to "what's the naughtiest thing you've ever done" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o9cdhaBfre0
mircea_popescu: talk to electrician tho, various gotchas.
mircea_popescu: apparently this was power-through-utp-cable scenario
asciilifeform: ( esp. if you have petrol-powered secondary backup mains -- these tend to have noisy output )
shinohai: I view it as another "what not to do" moment .... add research better surge protection to my todo list
shinohai: If only I had waited to move back here one extra weekxD
mod6: just in case. we've been getting some weather up here too.
mod6: i did just have my trees cut back from the powerlines about a week ago.
shinohai: I had one of these: http://www.fullcompass.com/prod/271259-American-Power-Conversion-P11VNT3?utm_source=googleps&utm_medium=shopping&utm_campaign=googleps&st-t=googleshopping-accessories&vt-k=&vt-mt=&vt-pti=271259&gclid=CjwKEAjw7J3KBRCxv93Q3KSukXQSJADzFzVSROXPxzL4bKeiiY_PGHPZyPoqaTvvhA5rVq9J58JvhBoCcGXw_wcB
shinohai: Yup ... blew up my whole cable modem, had to wait until Saturday for them to come replace.
mircea_popescu: shinohai crazy shit, it fried via the utp cable ?!
shinohai curses the surge protector that didn't do it's job
mod6: if there is room in the chassis, see if you can just stick in a PCI eth card?
mod6: yah, good deal to have a backup!
shinohai: HDD is ok, and pogo containing my backup chain survived so at least I don't have to start over *there*
mod6: colo box? or was just at the spot?
