asciilifeform: in any and all anglo-reich tendrils, a house is required to cost at least 2-3 years of the expected occupant's entire wage. break this rule, they break your neck.
asciilifeform: re: container houses piece << classic chumpatron. put up steel container on empty lot to live in -> illegal, confiscated. bezzlamatic cuts costs for self by using shipping containers (painted to look like house) -> 'amazing company, innovators!'
asciilifeform: not everyone on the stage needs one at all...
asciilifeform: and even then only if the culprits hanged upside down, wired to the mains by the balls, and admit the data genuine.
asciilifeform: only way the truth (tm) comes out is if more than a few of the players involved are thoroughly pwned, rooted, results trotted out.
asciilifeform: one caveat with using addresses - 'decoder' must not rely on the garbage addr's balance never moving on own volition. one might, at any time, end up producing an addr to which someone has a key.
asciilifeform doesn't give enough of a damn to crunch the numbers
asciilifeform: my understanding is that for your application, the payload is very small, and 'shooting coin into the sun' in an open loop system - suffices.
asciilifeform: *usefully encoded addrs with reasonably secure privates
asciilifeform: (you want the privates if you want the recycling-loop.)
asciilifeform: plus programmatic generation of addrs with reasonably-secure private keys is gnarly.
asciilifeform: t, shops, warehouses. The crowd has - a correct instinct. It would like to destroy the city - the citadel of power of the political and economic kind - the root cause of its travails. The crowd is stopped in its tracks by those who have plans for the city hall, for the presidential palace. We will not stop the crowd.' (Limonov, 'The Other Russia.') - translation mine.☟︎
asciilifeform: 'Take a look in History, flip through her pages. The first action in revolutions of recent history -- the erection of barricades. They'll smash the cobble stones of the street, dig them out, and block off the road with them. They'll stop cars, buses, fill the street with bricks. And also they'll attack, plunder, raze, and put to the torch the city hall, administrative buildings, presidential palace, parliamen☟︎
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: limonov had a beautiful discussion of this.
asciilifeform: if correct solution could be applied from correct position - problem would be lying dead in a ditch, right along with a few thousand fellow problems, similarly perforated.
asciilifeform: in the peanut gallery - they say whatever. 'new york times' - won't say 'rapigger'.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: what document worth the mention could get any traction on 'reddit' (today's, not circa '07, say) ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the 'logic' presumably being, you must 'go with' the humans or the orcs, tertium non datur.
asciilifeform: i doubt anyone could persuade him that phenomenon in question is not a barbaric libel by russian queer-haters.
asciilifeform: the example jurov (inadvertently) gave us - is instructive. someone succeeded in 'tefloning' the 'juvenile justice' thing before it entered his brain.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: there are many applicable 'teflons.'
asciilifeform: so it doesn't stick to 'right thinking' heads.
asciilifeform: one of the more 'high tech' and interesting 'state media' tricks is to spray on a coating of 'conspiratorial Teflon' to an otherwise genuine piece of dirt
asciilifeform: if you're czech, slovak, pole - and don't relish idea of learning russian - better learn german.
asciilifeform: as the anglo empires get swept from the stage, the bantustans they created with heroic strokes of pencil will go away. arabian, soviet, wherever.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: what next, a pope that doesn't lie?
asciilifeform likes to show americans 'the venerable ancient Ukrs' - is almost never believed, even when rubbing their nose in primary source
asciilifeform: living where 'this shit' is grown, packaged, and flown out for export is not particularly thrilling either.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it mostly works for the target audience. to most folks in usa, who are literate in no foreign languages, never travel except on official orders, etc. - if not thrown in their face, fact does not exist.
asciilifeform: so perhaps enemy does not bayonet babies and eat them under white sauce. he merely strangles them humanely and reprocesses into Garboil.
asciilifeform: 'prior to Americans' gay rights agitation, Russian gays used to be called “faggots”; now they are being called “American faggots,” and gay rights in Russia have taken a giant leap back.' - orlov
asciilifeform: the 'queers' angle is sprayed on by western journarasts.
asciilifeform: jurov: nope. in russia, people have successfully resisted, for the most part, the 'civilized' western notion that the crown has business taking children.
asciilifeform: 'It involves a nationwide network of enforcement agencies (except in the few states that have banned it) that operates with the help of a vast private intelligence service called “Black Asphalt”'
