mircea_popescu: williamdunne hey, i enjoy watching some dude beat the crap / get beaten the crap out of as much as the next guy, but it helps a lot if i know them/there's a substantial quarrel/something.
mircea_popescu: i used to watch some boxing many years ago because i was friends with some promoters etc. never got into it.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo i dunno dood. by this reasoning you could put the chinese state budget on "making obama get nobel prize"
mircea_popescu: something must be very wrong with boxing if 50 yo ex champs can still walk around unaided.
mircea_popescu: this is the point where i admit this had been all wild speculation and i have nfi.
mircea_popescu: the "social studies" grant eaters are larger than the texas oil industry.
mircea_popescu: the size of that cohesive group is merely a function of the resources wasted on it.
mircea_popescu: what are you more likely to run into, a girl that doesnt want to fuck because of what she's heard the catholic church say, or a girl that wants to go topless because of what she's heard of femen ?
mircea_popescu: well, who you gonna bet on, in the quadriplegic box match ? the blind or the stupid ?
mircea_popescu: if that's the case, as it well may be the case, they're not nearly all that disorganised. arguably better organised than the government.
mircea_popescu: obviously baltimore riots were a plan hatched and executed by the baltimore drug lords, but it *may* be also part of a larger frontline, a probing operation as it's called.
mircea_popescu: but of much more direct interest, "It is hard to see why this same pattern wouldn't hold once the US places much of itself under military occupation."
☟︎ mircea_popescu: "There is a pattern here: it seems that whenever Americans arm, train and equip an army, that army stands a really big chance of simply melting away, with the weapons falling into the hands of those who want to use them against American interests."
mircea_popescu: guy's practice was mostly focused on dietary approaches to medicine.
mircea_popescu: gabriel_laddel but if anyone opposed to smoking, drinking and eating whatever falls into your hads is "new age bs", then hippo should be too.
mircea_popescu: heh. he paid 4k and wants to make a profit, CLEARLY he should get 5k.
mircea_popescu: lobbes i was talking about femen specifically. you think not ?
mircea_popescu: so... yeah, which way the state goes is part and parcel of it.
mircea_popescu: not that it's not genuine sentiment, i'm sure to some degree it is. the topless sluts were ALSO genuine sentiment, for sure just as genuine, definitely as widely held. the result ? 400 people, beat up by police, not 4mn pushed by the govt press agents.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: bwahgaha. these EXACT PEOPLE prostituted their dead, and their living, wives, children, the lot. by the HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS. not even fifty years ago.
mircea_popescu: "If you think about it just a tiny bit, nothing on this scale could be contrived artificially, and the thought that millions of people would prostitute their dead for propaganda purposes is, frankly, both cynical and insulting."
mircea_popescu: at this rate they could probably use it as an anti-islam equivalent.
mircea_popescu: dude seriously, that's how russian orthodoxy-lite works ?
mircea_popescu: "Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu, [blablabla] made the sign of the cross, in the Russian Orthodox manner. This simple gesture transformed the parade from a display of military pomp to a sacred ritual."
mircea_popescu: "here i sit in a prefab vinyl siding plebhousing unit, burning a 50 dollar bill" ?
☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: there are also 68 keys with duplicate moduli, but i imagine that wouldn't impact very much the overall numbers ?
mircea_popescu: so ascii_field from the above, am i correct in deducing that there have been at most 47728 - 31262-4584 = 11882 (out of 47728, or ~1/4) keys without any RSA subkeys in them ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: Submissions: 47728 Known Moduli: 31262 Moduli Waiting for Test: 4584 Running Product (Π(∀n)): 43224973 digits
mircea_popescu: bwhaha. who penned this i wish to know ? the man himself is incapable of such quality.
mircea_popescu: "Western media focused on the fact that western leaders declined to attend the celebration, either in a fit of pique or because so ordered by the Obama administration, but this only highlights their combined irrelevance, be it in defeating Hitler, or in commemorating his defeat 70 years later."
mircea_popescu: cultundies, for those girls that still wear the things.
mircea_popescu: hm yeah, aws is useful to have but it really shouldnt be a dependency.
mircea_popescu: and moreover, the government can contempt the court all it wants, that's what it's there for after all.
mircea_popescu: check it out, the government is required to file a certificate. and if they don't... fuckall. and if it's fraudulent ? all the better.
mircea_popescu: where is the one year in the can for contempt + civil liability for the prosecuting team + their eighteen indictment trial for all sorts of fraud, abuse of legal process etc.
mircea_popescu: but is there a disbarment of the government counsel as a result of attempted fraud in open court ?

mircea_popescu: "The certificate was filed seven months after the entry of the district court's order and six months after the filing of the government's notice of appeal. It was filed only after the defendants raised the issue of its absence in their briefs to this Court."
mircea_popescu: fuckheads delayed filing the certificate that they're not appealing to delay.
mircea_popescu: o, so the government filed late ? it's ok, we'll invent some legally meaningless words it can be bad in, but otherwise it's fine.
mircea_popescu: ough not regarded with favor, does not rise to jurisdictional dimensions."
mircea_popescu: back to the lulzlaw department for a moment, " Nonetheless, the government concedes that it failed to file a timely certificate with the district court "that the appeal was not taken for purpose of delay and that the evidence is a substantial proof of a fact material in the proceeding," although § 3731 required it to do so.
