mircea_popescu: (the outer space idea being that you get up there a thing with immense rtg / solar panels, and a supply of bb shells. because far from heavy grav fields (
as per definition of outer space) all shots are guided by default - you just gotta get close enough. fast flying bb projectile hitting the other ship is ~doom.)
mircea_popescu: no. this is jules verne stuff. dun work
as per 1800s maffs.
mircea_popescu: (railgun is not useful
as ballistic fire, because well, air friction ;
as short range direct fire it has the obvious problem : your firing platform kinda has to be afloat too.)
ben_vulpes: "yeah sure, his campaign is dead. you realize that his base actually wishes they were
as witty and erudite in public
as he is in private?"
mircea_popescu: but star pattern, here
as everywhere, is more expensive less efficient etc
mircea_popescu: they could detect holes and shoot down
as it is. that's the more rational approach, than brick
mircea_popescu: in any case there's jack shit they can do, "physical security" my foot. the radiators are big by necessity, a hole anywhere counts
as a score
as much
as any other hole anywhere, dude could take them out with a decent scoped rifle from a mile away
mircea_popescu: i suppose
as we speak the idiots with the return-fire thingee are pitching utility comps.
mircea_popescu: for one thing, all their inept rags try to paint russia
as a "local power at best", "gdp" of italy bla bla. how, then, is this magical thing possible where they decide who wins the fucking election ? obviously the libtard has a reputation for dealing well with cognitive dissonance, but that they'd prefer this nonsense to actually naming the rapist makes you think they liked the tiny, slanted cock.
BingoBoingo: Bah, I'm surprised you haven't though to take away every color but two yellows for some time
as a sort of punishment.
BingoBoingo: May
as well make your own carbon filament bulb
mircea_popescu: not that much drier than about half of china. just badly overpopulated (also not
as much
as about half of china)
mircea_popescu: for
as long
as the dance still entertains the chinese.
mircea_popescu: six weeks after obama assured everyone it's not gonna happen,
as per usual procedure with the retard.
mircea_popescu: o btw, check out erdogan : "You are not my interlocutor. You are not at my level. You are not my equivalent. You are not of the same quality
as me," Erdogan said (to al-Abadi) "Your screaming and shouting in Iraq is of no importance to us. You should know that we will go our own way,"
mircea_popescu: glassing dun work
as advertised ; much like every other part of the us materiel.
mircea_popescu: (guess based on the observation that much
as was the case in medieval warfare (among people disinclined to fight, such
as italians), the arabs arrived at a courtier's agreement
as to what constitutes "sufficient honorable defense".)
shinohai: stones such
as being purveyed by hanbot
pete_dushenski wonders what planet he is living on where he is
as useful to republic
as alf
mircea_popescu: evidently teh enlightened policies of the centralised socialist state, from misrepresenting it
as a market to whatever the fuck they do work splendidly : the worst on record dates from last year.
pete_dushenski: maybe they don't relate except
as loosely applied tags or labels for individuals disliked by socialists. not knowing or caring what the words actually mean, libtards just conjure up accusations like 'child pornographer' or 'verbal abuser' when being dismissive.
mircea_popescu: iirc even at the peak of the whole "anyone could have sent me fake ids with my picture on them because there exists this thing online called silkroad i'm not related to" pothead mania, less than hjalf the idiots used encryption at all, and a tiny fraction of traffic was actually encrypted coming from relatively few keys.
as in hundreds rather than hudreds of thousands.
Framedragger: asciilifeform: right, cool. i guess if one runs a node they may
as well collect some additional info.. i may still have a 'respected' node private key laying about, may be possible to collect those HSDir requests. (but i agree that it may not be very productive effort)
mircea_popescu: there was (perhaps more usbstantially interesting) an effort to get the historical databases with silk road junk
as maintained by some pothead sifted, both for rsa keys and whatever else
Framedragger:
as of now this is more-or-less trivially doable. later, tor will move to a new hidden service model where it'll be more difficult to crawl for things. (right now, you can run a node which after a while (if stable enough, etc.) becomes a hidden service directory, and then (if you're sneaky enough) you can log all hidden service key requests, therefore obtaining a large bunch of fingerprints -> public keys.)
mircea_popescu: if you're gonna sign it might
as well dump it in the deeds. but it seems rather excessive.
trinque: yeah,
as I think about it, seems like not a thing.
mod6: im not sure how that'd work out. you might be better off putting your key on your "blog"
as detailed in the logs, then just putting in a clearsigned message stating that's where one can find your pub key.
BingoBoingo: Texas has natural allies in Missouri, Oklahoma, and R-Kansas against california so long
as the war does not start during College football season
PeterL: I agree, Texas would probably win. Texans are much more likely to identify
as "Texan" than most other parts of the country would identify
as their state's.
mircea_popescu: that old woman, ifshe's still alive, which she probably is, counts
as three california soldiers,
as typified by that brandi manning or w/e his name was.
mircea_popescu: they have the psychosis for flailing aimlessly and continuing
as-if, however. so they will.
mircea_popescu: aha. and if there was an actual attack, ie, 5k to 50k flying objects
as opposed t oa piddly single fire, they'd be underwater.
mats: from the looks of things, the SM-2
as well
as the ESSM systems didn't properly intercept incoming
BingoBoingo: lol: "Our Trump-supporting friend in Illinois is a surprisingly big part of the reason. In some polls, he’s weighted
as much
as 30 times more than the average respondent, and
as much
as 300 times more than the least-weighted respondent."
mircea_popescu: Making Bitcoin-based networks to sell taboo erotica was very hip for a few months last year. None of those networks ever made a single successful sale to the best of my knowledge (I tried many of them, never got anything more than annoyed emails from fans asking why the website didn't work).
As far
as I know, this is no longer a thing. I'm not aware of any Bitcoin site that allows you to sell any kind of digital erotica." <<
mircea_popescu: there's nothing quite
as lulzy
as a middle aged woman who thinks herself smart. except, of course, for a group of them.
mircea_popescu: it's particularly funny when very old nobodies keep thanking each other for each other's leadersheep.
as fucking if.
ben_vulpes: institutions that at one point produced quality wares that
as you aged -- stopped?
mircea_popescu: (quilmes is this very shitty local swill. made through the same process
as us beer / sodas : hfcs water and "naturally identical" flavouring)
mircea_popescu: "Clinton’s performance was less-than-stellar, which may be just a meaner way of saying it was good
as we ever could have expected. She has this tendency to look very self-satisfied after delivering a zinger that’s clearly been crafted by someone else in Brooklyn and then tested on voters in a fish tank. It’s grating." << to put it charitably.
mircea_popescu: yes, for
as long
as it's "community of selected women".
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: ..unless you are implying that the republic stimulated results such
as this, making life insufferable for nsa, idiots and the like
trinque: I'm doubtful the brew hipsters would have a gdb
as old
as obsd has by default
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> oh btw BingoBoingo can trump be "the qntra grabber" nao ? since he did grab it... << Pix or it didn't happen.
As editor I still believe Trump a Clinton plant until proven otherwise.
mircea_popescu: in entirely unrelated lulz : some watch hawker with a penchant for pretentiousness started an advertising gimmick whereby it's going to "support the arts" etc through financing an apprentice of a master for one year. for incomprehensible reasons phillip glass let them drag him into it ; but otherwise it's just a bunch of b-listers credited with things such
as "architecture" or "dance" or whatever. all male, EXCEPT for one der
ben_vulpes: oh fascinating tarver wrote bipolar lisp programmer
as well
pete_dushenski: in other news, who knew that shopping for home furnishings and furniture was... fun! i shit thee not. a few months ago i woulda dismissed such activities
as a 'waste of time for idiots with more money than brainz' but now i hafta admit i can see some of the appeal. i guess i can always blame bitcoin for makes me feel rich. or the architects in the family for cursing me with a design sense.
a111: Logged on 2016-10-10 01:32 mircea_popescu: if /me were trump, melania would be getting divorce papers over her ill-considered statements. let the girl work for a living if she is "offended
as a woman" etc.
pete_dushenski: even if diana_coman went 'full kako' eulora would almost certainly still survive. point of failure then becomes,
as with remainder of republican projects, mp.
pete_dushenski: jews are also disproportionately 'democrats' and otherwise fearful libertards, and
as such get what's coming to them everytime there's a pogrom.
mircea_popescu: a sentiment actually shared by pretty much everyone "on whose bottled farts the place still runs"
as alf'd put it.
mircea_popescu: "I come from a blue-collar, Irish Catholic, pro-Kennedy, pro-union family of Democrats,” says Bannon, by way of explaining his politics. “I wasn’t political until I got into the service and saw how badly Jimmy Carter fucked things up. I became a huge Reagan admirer. Still am. But what turned me against the whole establishment was coming back from running companies in Asia in 2008 and seeing that Bush had fucked up

adlai is not idiot enough to simply dismiss everything outside his current understanding
as idiocy, so he's trying to differentiate between SNR
as best he can at what seems closest to bring within his future understanding
BingoBoingo:
As I said earlier, Gary Johnson is now ahead of the curve. Leads refuge for current GOP "establishment"

☟︎ danielpbarron: >> The Lord did not design men to have women rule over them. He designed men to rule over women. "The head of woman is man" (1 Corinthians 11:3), and "Adam was formed first, then Eve" (1 Timothy 2:13). This is why women are to be submissive (1 Corinthians 14:34). God has placed men
as the authority (head) over women, and therefore they need to submit to this authority. Moreover, this authority was established from the very beginnin
☟︎ danielpbarron: >> The fact that Israel had women ruling over them was a shameful thing, just
as it was shameful that children were their oppressors. Israel was weak, trapped in their sin. Consequently, women ruled over them.
jhvh1: danielpbarron: [KJV] Isaiah 3:12 ::
As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths.
☟︎ danielpbarron: >> Although God has in the past placed women in authority over men (e.g. Judges 4:4), and even today the Lord places women in authority over men (e.g. Romans 13:1), this is nonetheless a shameful reality,
as Isaiah illustrates.
mircea_popescu: and his example (merkel ; esp
as seen in how she ruined germany to soak up the net result of usg's terrorism) is well chosen, too. "feminine" politics, leadership and everything else is two notches below suicide.
mircea_popescu: "In our time, women have been gaining political power
as never before. There are (by my count) 17 female presidents and prime ministers around the world today. Sixty-three of the world’s countries have now had at least one female head of government or state in the past half century. But it’s not the fact of their being female that is important, so much
as the feminine style today’s female leaders have brought to politic
mircea_popescu: "When 2008 Republican nominee John McCain on Saturday withdrew his endorsement of Mr. Trump, that left 1996 nominee Bob Dole
as the only living GOP nominee backing Mr. Trump." ahahaha epic.
mircea_popescu: even the notion of "expire"
as implemented in gpg.koch is nonsense. should be replaced with "disused",
as in, "i took it out of deedbot and am not using it anymore"
trinque: my perspective is that the field is promisetronic in exactly the same manner
as nlocktime
BingoBoingo: "Donald Trump is never going to be the president of the United States.
As we sit and digest each successive leak of damaging material, each un-endorsement, each Trump threat to attack Hillary Clinton in the most personal terms imaginable, the fact remains that Trump has almost surely destroyed his chance of ever becoming the most powerful man on Earth. The discussion will now slowly shift to Republican hopes of shoring up down-ballot rac
BingoBoingo: Situation is set to rapidly flip the other way just
as quickly making these Elliots look like idiots.
mod6: hmm. so, in the test channel, everything is working
as it should; will keep an eye on it.
adlai: BingoBoingo: this is top shit but
as a Person i take offense at your using personal pronouns in reference to a mere octopus tentacle. sure, maybe the whole octopus aspires to tulpahood, but why extend the honor to a mere appendage?
mircea_popescu: here's the beauty : any idiot can delete anything he wants. heck, out of the ~7 bn pointless ruminants currently masquerading
as members of the human race, we could say all actually "have" bitcoin, it's just they... deleted it.
mircea_popescu: shinohai the strat is to go after cases. "we have these here three horny fifteen year olds, ergo your site is banned. what, they're three out of fifty million ? ha-hA! you're not on the usg list of google apple etc, so your 50mn don't count. only fb's 50 million (which they misrepresent
as 5bn) count. LISTS!!"
mircea_popescu: funny how deeply aware they are of the power transactions occuring.
as per the current kink high, "giving boy power" = bad ; but giving women very similar power over, eg, "whether fuck jokes are acceptable in the workplace" is doublespent
as "fairness" or "equality" not
as a power grab.
mircea_popescu: "we already sold every head of cattle
as participating in the real estate threadmill! doing anything else with your life IS TAX FRAUD!!11"
mircea_popescu: no idea who'd prefer her
as a cocksucker seeing how her assets are at the other end and i'm sure there must be a nicely racked blondy to suck it instead, but hey. college kids, dunno what's what.
