asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: this is not about fools; it's about something that is legitimately counter-intuitive to 'civilians' - who usually assume, correctly, that a www repo is authoritative.
asciilifeform: 'asymmetric', to use the american term.
asciilifeform: the large chopper is really more like something the americans would use.
asciilifeform: or in the day, and let the idiots shoot one another with own small arms while trying to bag some.
asciilifeform: let them fly to and weld onto the victims at night, quietly and with no fanfare.
asciilifeform: it takes, what, 100g to perforate an airplane?
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes (isambard k. brunel!) - saw the 'github.' might be worth making a note on therealbitcoin.org re: the 'github' not being authoritative.
asciilifeform: hemselves from a gangplank directly into the bottom of the capsule. This went on for four or five months.'
asciilifeform: 'sewer pipes in two Malmstrom launch facilities ruptured and a deep stew of human waste lingered at the bottom of the capsules. Despite the intolerable stench, the colonel in charge refused to take the units offline for repair. The men were instead ordered to defecate in a cardboard box lined with a plastic bag, but since nobody wanted to carry the box upstairs when it got full, the missileers began relieving t
asciilifeform: all the 'mother jones' photos are from an ancient museum silo
asciilifeform: 'He later confessed to chatting for most of a night with the hotel's cigar sales lady, who was asking questions "about physics and optics"—and thinking to himself: "Dude, this doesn't normally happen." Carey was stripped of his command in October' << lol, 'cigar lady' gets 'order of lenin.'
asciilifeform: lol, it was always traditional wisdom that a fellow with less than perfect eyes will fly 'mahogany bombers'
asciilifeform: srsly, they signed up for human statue detail
asciilifeform: human statues << unlike every other military sentry?
asciilifeform: so, the land rockets, sitting ducks as they were, were still forced targets
asciilifeform: decimation: of course, this is back when the advantage of land rocket was used - they were once fitted with 'mirv'
asciilifeform: decimation: that was sorta the point. tie up opponent's rockets, fewer remain for cities and known sub coordinates
asciilifeform: incidentally (ianal!!) but usa has a federal law prescribing punishment for destroying property in order to prevent, iirc, 'lawful seizure.' does this still apply for... unlawful seizure?
asciilifeform: non-asic mining is 'dead as dodo', and certainly was in 2013.
asciilifeform: pizza hut << incidentally, if you tally up an upper bound for how much could have been mined ('up to 60 stores', let's say a few machines in each) - it ought to have sufficed for... a couple of pizzas.
asciilifeform: pizza hut << this distinguishes it from every other cattle farm where the cattle get to use computers, precisely how?
asciilifeform uses tor for non-critical applications
asciilifeform: tor compromise through filled circuit ddos << this is a 'classic', described in academic papers. and i can say for a fact that the 'machine' is still turned on. just last night had a tor client fail to form a circuit, for the first time in many years of semi-regular use.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: entropy key << gadget was discussed here many times. appears to be permanently unavailable (and closed-source.)
asciilifeform: has anyone downloaded the full chain with a .5/.6/.7/.8/.9 << 0.8, yes
asciilifeform: whoever wants to add this as a patch - can
asciilifeform: you know, incase you'd like to have a binary that isn't bloated with debug symbols << 'strip bitcoind' >> solved
asciilifeform off to see some exotic cats. raises a glass to the ghost of moiety.
asciilifeform: he was arguing, in the end, for s-expressions.
asciilifeform: and the basic premise was also a crock of shit (if no naked eyes nor naked hands, why not a compact binary format?)
asciilifeform: the verbose monstrosities of **ml-series were justified by the notion that a) no one will ever be forced to write them by hand b) no one will ever be forced to read them with naked eyes
asciilifeform: there's a reverse-engineered driver for it, somewhere. can't be bothered.
asciilifeform: haven't tried it, winblows-only it seems
asciilifeform: this is more or less same as the (very true) observation that buildings which stand up, whether in england or in best-korea, are designed on same basic principles.
