mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski i thought you two were irl buddies or something
mircea_popescu: police breaking down door, which obviously imperils someone - such as the random bystander, is a-ok. naming agents however MIGHT imperil someone, such as an asshole abusing his offical status to powerplay. this is very un-ok.
mircea_popescu: The government tries to minimize publicity about the names of agents investigating cases involving potentially violent criminals. "The information (about agents) he gave out might threaten somebody's safety -- the information that he broadcast could imperil somebody," Ashman said.

mircea_popescu: gals want a guy that's funny and whatever, guy wants a girl that's infertile.
mircea_popescu: the "i don't plan to use the capability" thing makes me wonder : isn't it strange that "infertility" isn't the leading thing in dating sites and comedian's routines re dating sites ?
mircea_popescu: bounce you seriously duly received an actual fax in the course of business ?
mircea_popescu: i dunno, maybe i'm weird, but the only actual point of calling, ie voice, would be a woman, and rather than call (ie, on phone) i'd always prefer to call (ie, bitch get on plane)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform but you'd use the "phone" to push text anyway.

mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes "if you can hear Shooty you're not fucking her right" as a slogan ?
mircea_popescu: bounce but one specifically optimised for the role of following you around taking pictures of things. like a sort of gopro with ai.
mircea_popescu: you know, ever since the photo debate with bounce a few days ago, i'm kinda curious to see this photography drone gadget. imagine all the YOLO picutres taken by this orbiting drone thing.
mircea_popescu: "There is no motherfucking reason conceivable or inconceivable that x.org should depend on netbase." i say!

mircea_popescu: also i wish it entered into the record that romania was at no point during its ~2500ish year history sane. not ever.
mircea_popescu: johntraveller one major thing is that qntra doesn't/can't quite follow chinese language news atm. if you can bridge that gap there's glory in there.
mircea_popescu: you looking for work ? we still need chinese coverage.
mircea_popescu: on the plus side, it's very easy to see the craziness of romanian o wait. nope. listen, somehow english speakers had a lot of trouble figuring out exactly how and exactly where ro nonsense was broken, back in the 90s.
mircea_popescu: guy had a pretty gf and a two year old kid. too old, iho.
