asciilifeform: dsa was a decree thing, 'standard', not a 'for lulz'
mircea_popescu: by the time i'm typing . )).). you know the current article's gonna be involved
mircea_popescu: ithought dsa started life this way.
asciilifeform: ( it was a thing hat had never happened, prior or since )
asciilifeform: the simon and speck thing was egregiously funny because they were published 'for lulz', 'maybe someone will pick up this toy', rather than mandated somewhere ☟︎
mircea_popescu: usg.nsa business is not the sane.
asciilifeform: in even other lulz, recall when nsa published ( no one knew why, nobody sane would use ) two stream ciphers, couplea yrs ago. well : https://eprint.iacr.org/2017/382
asciilifeform slowly ironing the ugly out of 'P' stack machine

mircea_popescu: maintaining "our democracy" compatible prisons is too expensive ; not maitaining them produces the sops problem, which is a surer "democracy" solvent than austrian painters named adolf.
mircea_popescu: prisons have this very interesting fermentive effect for democracies. basically, it's easy enough to pretend like "our democracy" while the bread's still flowing ; once that stops, as it always does -- suddenly it's impossible for the "our democracy" pretense to insulate itself from the authoritatian restructuring the prison drives into society.
ben_vulpes: back a few branches, on the topic of dudes who would rather be in jail: http://katu.com/news/local/police-man-found-masturbating-vigorously-says-he-did-it-because-he-hates-portland
mircea_popescu: 3/4 mw, imagine the old fart.
mircea_popescu: the lyrics include gems such as "so the whole world sees you're the most unique" &c
phf`: ahaha, computer has been taken over, girl learned a new dance https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I5VqQjVExTU
mircea_popescu: very much 90s/2000s item though. the following generation found the normal path to ibm alcatel oracle etc.
mircea_popescu: the reason being that there's a whole troop of intellectuals who missed their web development calling and instead of sitting on compuer all day checking out what's new in rust they just collate crap from across the youtube.
phf`: it's like a mixture of all the oh-i-remember-this-was-popular chav styles from across the world
mircea_popescu: eh, why'd you open something in shittyland. come to cr, open here.
phf`: i'm not even sure my office is ready for this. i kind of want to open a hookah bar with really bad rail drinks and bottle service just so that i can play that stuff on TVs
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform amusingly, the dude's not even stupid. but this notion that not being stupid suffices to think is not unlike the notion that... well... everything else.
asciilifeform: ^ the prototype for these
mircea_popescu: phf` your evidently good taste ensures you'll make friends fast in bucharest! bamboo awaits you!
asciilifeform: 1 level below : are found the folx who can count.
mircea_popescu: not a general. check out his tau homepage, even has pic.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: american tradition -- generals who can't count to 7, even moar 'in charge' aha
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yet he's ~in charge of the idf sikrit projects to maff and stuff.
mircea_popescu: phf` tbh, there are two items very popular in mp household. 1 is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-unZ6sUEio the other's https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Ulinu-_FYc

phf`: i'm going to play this at the office, to confuse both romanians and the iranians https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mjLSZ-K0kog
mircea_popescu: anyone recall the dude ? square jawed dork, committed some amusing points re "interdicting uninterdictable comms" and other "us army ra ra ra!!" lulz.
mircea_popescu: but, since we're doing romanian gypsies : here's what the equivalent of that us army strategist dude has to say about things and matters : http://earonovich.blogspot.com/ ( http://www.cs.tau.ac.il/~eddiea/ )
phf`: apparently something called manele. i was wondering why it sounded vaguely iranian, vaguely turkish
mircea_popescu: there is no romanian in there, though. fat guy is a popular gypsy singer, the ~only actual word in his speech would be "carolina" which is only romanian inasmuch "o iubesc pe carolina, e o fata din carpati, are ochii ca si marea si-i frumoasa ca o stea, o carolina lina lina carolina cha cha cha" etc 30 yo kid rhymes.
phf`: i have a very what's the word straight? romanian coworker. i like to periodically send some of the things i glean through mircea_popescu about romanian this guy's way. just to watch his reaction.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform not so. if you do with own hands whenever possible, how are you to ever meet any girls ?
mircea_popescu: tourniquet'd have prolly been even better. that thick orange-ish tube huh ?
asciilifeform: imho boy oughta make things with own hands, when possible
mircea_popescu: anyway, reason i didn't buy is because the commies didn't sell. otherwise -- money, had.
asciilifeform: asciilifeform had rubber from tourniquets ( medical folx in family, had ~infinite supply )

mircea_popescu: wtf, the "this will never be finished" designation ?
mircea_popescu: lmao, wait, wait, they dun want any actually productive zeks touching it ?
mircea_popescu: what, they give usians a nda to sign at birth, along with all the ssn papers and whatnot ?
asciilifeform: and that (theoretically) any middle manager who hooks up indian slave to $project, is to be sacked

mircea_popescu: ~equivalent to tumblr ho scribbling "for hot males only" on her snatch pix. rly ?

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i suspect you are thinking of ~natural~ Rn concentration
