asciilifeform: for everyone's laughter:
asciilifeform: kakobrekla: actually, the only time i ever built a water-cooled machine, it was to get rid of the damnable fan hiss
asciilifeform: wanna show off, cool in Fluorinert.
asciilifeform: ;;google cleopatra bee vibrator
asciilifeform: why does everybody love pre-orders so much ? so they can bitch when conveyor delay?
asciilifeform: can't help but think of cleopatra's alleged diddlomat. glass, filled with bees.
asciilifeform: i must still be in me dream. perhaps i should go back & finish sinking the nazi sub.
asciilifeform: !
asciilifeform: ;;ud dildonics
asciilifeform: davout: dildonics
asciilifeform: that has to be cheaper
asciilifeform: milk from what species.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: ussr?
asciilifeform: in general, 'don't install toilet in kitchen'
asciilifeform: why? ask it, not me
asciilifeform: kakobrekla: xen, for instance, emulates a NIC with... promiscuous mode
asciilifeform: kakobrekla: not only that

asciilifeform: loltron!
asciilifeform: or did i dream this
asciilifeform: which one of you weirdos was hunting mice with a mosin.
asciilifeform: kakobrekla: lol, Göringwallet.
asciilifeform: go, polish a turd.
asciilifeform: everyone loves physical security exotica, because 'sexy'
asciilifeform: but that's all i'll say about this, for now
asciilifeform: anyone who doesn't grasp this is a pwnie, doomed to be ridden by children in the park.
asciilifeform: which are conspicuously absent.
asciilifeform: either would require suitable technological building blocks
asciilifeform: 'r' - well, say, this - http://www.halfbakery.com/idea/Radio_20Parasite#996195704
asciilifeform: 'm' would correspond to, e.g. satellites, deep ocean pods, etc.
asciilifeform: there are two basic strategies for invincibility. biologists say 'r-strategy and m-strategy.'
asciilifeform: bounce: cook up a few suitable radio designs << think about this.
asciilifeform: Duffer1: see the point about satellites.
asciilifeform: Duffer1: what'd that be ?
asciilifeform: http://cryptome.org/2014/04/TCP32764_backdoor_again.pdf
asciilifeform: and now for today's lul,
asciilifeform: ;;google zimbabwe rock oil
asciilifeform: lol
asciilifeform: ;;google tandem cpu
asciilifeform: e.g. massive redundancy, rad hardening, etc
asciilifeform: is anyone involved with the crapsat even vaguely familiar with how adult machines are built?
asciilifeform: kakobrekla: for chinese boards, certainly
asciilifeform: ;;google flash write cycles
asciilifeform: fuck it
asciilifeform: ;;google ssd ion migration
asciilifeform: ssd doesn't do terribly well here on earth.
asciilifeform: and he decides that arithmetic won't apply to him if he 'want it enough'
asciilifeform: there's a certain engineering dynamic at work, where the poor schmuck begins to contemplate what it would take to -actually- solve the problem, and then his starfish begins to pucker
asciilifeform: it's undergrad-level sad.
asciilifeform: this isn't merely sad
asciilifeform imagines the moneyed idiot who launches a 'pc-compatible' running existing softs, for security-critical application
asciilifeform: e.g. computer suitable for the application.
asciilifeform: we haven't the chicken
asciilifeform: i was once taught 'gypsy recipe for chicken' - '1) first, find a chicken'
asciilifeform: now if you like yer brain coming out yer ears, remember that launching (orbit, sea, mars, wherever) is the easy part
asciilifeform: http://dev.solita.fi/img/beyond-cargo-cult-software-design/cargoplane.jpg
asciilifeform: my bogodosimeter's maxed out
asciilifeform: can i get off this planet plz
asciilifeform: yeah let's put plastic in orbit.
asciilifeform: $10 anchor instead of $10M rocket laugh^H^Hnch
asciilifeform: deep sea machines don't orbit decay.
asciilifeform: if you like physical security exotica, consider poseidon's kingdom instead.
asciilifeform: 'reducing space mission cost' (same)
asciilifeform: get thee to library.
asciilifeform: wertz & larson, 'space mission analysis and design'
asciilifeform blows dust off shelv
asciilifeform: ideally they'd have a solid-state (piezo?) 'swim bladder'
asciilifeform: you want them bobbing about as close to SOFAR depth as possible
asciilifeform: davout: likewise, note that these wouldn't sit on the floor
asciilifeform: davout: nobody said it'd be trivial
asciilifeform: to talk to 'seacoin' all you'd need is a hydrophone and a few km of fishing line.
asciilifeform: and then you're rid of the Procrustean size limits of orbiting widgets
asciilifeform: 3000+ yrs. in salt water, no corrosion
asciilifeform: make the chassis from 'inconel' or similar alloy. ☟︎
asciilifeform: and let it pop its keys if barometer reveals that it's been fished out.
asciilifeform: sink'em. comms via sonar. no radiation problems, no decay, use thermocline with 'peltier' for energy source.
asciilifeform: ;;google SOFAR channel
asciilifeform: HeySteve: try 3 weeks.
asciilifeform: in herr casares's place, i'd actually consider deep ocean sonobuoys.
asciilifeform: an exercise.
asciilifeform: cubesats are normally a thing for engineering students.
asciilifeform: 'low orbit is no orbit.'
asciilifeform: pathetic lifetimes.
asciilifeform: see pg. 2

asciilifeform: just store it in... your nuke.
asciilifeform: lol
asciilifeform: but what do i know.
