asciilifeform: smoke screen is the only rational explanation i can think of thus far.

asciilifeform: wtf is the point. ☟︎

asciilifeform: what i don't get is - why?

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=13-08-2015#1236825 << looks like. there is this standard pattern of 'mentions interesting people/events, but no apparent contribution to the subject' ☝︎

asciilifeform: ^ reads like an atrociously bad translation ?

asciilifeform: 'they' are the single, solitary source of all things even vaguely resembling that which they claim to defend against.

asciilifeform: times $maxint.

asciilifeform: in fireball that equals at least half a kilo of trotyl, no less.

asciilifeform: by itself.

asciilifeform: and exploded like 'movie car', aha

asciilifeform: '"For secret assassination, either simple or chase, the contrived accident is the most effective technique. When successfully executed, it causes little excitement and is only casually investigated."'

asciilifeform: the ssd in question happily runs at 66 and even 33, and negotiates this speed with test box running adult os

asciilifeform: again, the fact that it does not mount the drive is obvious experimentally. but the given hypothesis does not follow

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: mno. this drive works at all ata speeds (tested) and still won't boot the box

asciilifeform: (which srsly cost 2x what that old boat anchor of a machine did!)

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: me, if i can't get the bugger reading ssd!

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: nah, that was 'pismo'

asciilifeform: ;;later tell BingoBoingo have you ever tried to run an apple 'powerbook wallstreet' with an ssd ?

asciilifeform: !b 10 ✂︎

asciilifeform: how many photons does one need, wonder, to transmit it.

asciilifeform: they could be light-years away, but unmistakeable stink

asciilifeform: funny how one can smell'em even without air!

asciilifeform: no, really. almost complete with the mandatory balls-in-a-jar token of office

asciilifeform: mandarins.

asciilifeform: how else.

asciilifeform: confucian, really

asciilifeform: american education ftw

asciilifeform: Expert Sexchange !!11

asciilifeform: and no, nobody cares.

asciilifeform: enciphering too.

asciilifeform: (which enemy already knows)

asciilifeform: but abstractly, more work for machine given a longer public exponent

asciilifeform: srsly

asciilifeform: this is not hard.

asciilifeform: proper implementations (e.g. mine) are fixed-time.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: for each bit set in exponent, you end up doing a round in chinese remainder iirc

asciilifeform: but not in a way that a legit user would give half a fuck about

asciilifeform: it does.

asciilifeform: mno

asciilifeform: (on classic stackexchange, occasionally folks do speak, e.g., http://security.stackexchange.com/questions/89713/offline-rsa-strong-prime-test-similar-to-phuctor/89718#89718 )

asciilifeform: prolly why nobody answered.

asciilifeform: and i meant, 'straight rip'

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu ^

asciilifeform: http://security.stackexchange.com/questions/89787/choose-your-own-exponents-in-rsa

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it's a straight rip off 'stack exchange'

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: l0l! where was this

asciilifeform: ahahaha.

asciilifeform: aha

asciilifeform: or wait, 'navigation by sail'

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: and did they really have folks buy hofstadter's 'geb' as part of some spamatron!!?!!

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: one hundred percent of orwell, afaik, is on the net

asciilifeform bbl

asciilifeform: with square sails.

asciilifeform: aha.

asciilifeform: can fail like india

asciilifeform: the latter point isn't even so far off

asciilifeform: he is also obsessed with characteristic flavour of '90s ru decay, and is convinced that he is observing it in usa

asciilifeform: phf: orlov is obsessed with the subject of 'noble orcs', where it is gypsy, or eskimo, or whoever hasn't invented water closet yet

asciilifeform: will hold, for how long?

asciilifeform: re: 'pacified?' - my understanding is that it is somewhat like a leaking pipe tied over with gauze

asciilifeform: as i said, not brightest bulbs

asciilifeform: not all the 'brightest bulbs', mind you. there were some comical incidents of the train stopping and local police confiscating (yes) weapons

asciilifeform: trains full of volunteers from all over ru

asciilifeform: incidentally what happened was precisely this

asciilifeform: ^ here

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=16-07-2014#758674 ☝︎

asciilifeform: aha.

asciilifeform: but i assumed this was a victory shot

asciilifeform: well it also

asciilifeform: militarily speaking

asciilifeform: the only mistake i see in that photo is that the pit ain't full

asciilifeform: aha

asciilifeform: this is a point that gets lost, somehow.

asciilifeform: even and especially for folks who like civilization

asciilifeform: linked essay imho illustrates that 'chechens or local equivalent' are a necessary part of a balanced diet

asciilifeform groks this, but also does not know of how to explain in printed word to folks who don't

asciilifeform: spartan speaks with sword, aha

asciilifeform: (sorta how english is spoken in india, but yes, they speak)

asciilifeform: hey they speak ru. ask'em

asciilifeform: (vs 'putin russian')

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: what kind would you prefer? a white guard officer ?

asciilifeform: bad translat

asciilifeform: 'the folks whose daughters are exempt from paki' are as good an approximation as any

asciilifeform: 'not badly off' != globalelite

asciilifeform: the way 'yi yi zhi yi' works is that a usg fiefdom controls its lower classes, which might otherwise have some vitality left, by importing orcs
