hanbot: <mircea_popescu>
the mess in
the paperwork i swear... << and
that lack of data via northern
tx's listing,
the best i've seen so far, all other judges have year of appointment and
the holy grail, year of birth (inconceivable!), but
this Hal R. Ray guy, absolutely nothing. google him, ditto, buncha mugs with
the same last name. i suppose he was signed up
this morning.
mircea_popescu: phf nah, because a) must be "proper" ie "standard" and b)
they already sold out
the headcount
to a private company
mircea_popescu: here's a
tidbit asciilifeform will no doubt appreciate : "Turn Self in Program Under
this program you may
turn yourself in without posting a bond. You are required
to br ing 25.00 non refundable fee for each warrant."
hanbot: fwiw, here's a couple more: northern ny: 7 mag. judges, all disqualified by appt. date. northern
tx: 9 mag. judges, 1 qualifies and is not on list (Clinton Averitte), 7 disqualified by appt. date, 1 no appt. date found.

mats: some magistrates are appointed by
the senate, so could be i believe
mats: i got a feeling
the list is in
the csv, just gotta massage it a bit...
hanbot: twelve appointed after 1993. no info found on
the chief, spero's appt date.
mats: so according
to
Texas Code of Criminal Procedure, Article 2.09, all judges are magistrates, along with mayors of incorporated cities
mircea_popescu: anyway, if northern california is
the outlier it usually is, we could judge
this list
to be maybe 3-500
total ? somewhere
there, as a guesstimate.
mircea_popescu: clearly,
these people understand
things as well as matters.
mircea_popescu: mats but allow me
to quote, "·
The large number of blank fields in most records is
to accommodate
those judges who have been appointed
to multiple judicial positions in
the federal courts.
This makes
the data easier
to drop into a spreadsheet program. "
hanbot: yeah i'll
take a look.
mircea_popescu: there's 13 on
that page (eureka courthouse + visiting judge)
hanbot: wtf,
two distinct groups of em?! why? oh courthouses. ffs, sec.
mats: this is a really shit way
to organize data
hanbot: 2/3 in nocal for instance definitely don't belong, very unlikely on
the
third
mircea_popescu: mats
those seem
to be proper judges
tho, we're looking for
the glorified police station detectives aka "magistrate" judges.
mats: the csv looks broken
though...
mircea_popescu: if it is
the case
that 94 districts average between 2 and 3,
then it's quite possible
that we have ~all or at least most of
the list, considering
the pretty draconinc age restricons involved.
hanbot: well worst comes
to worst, could be done county by county, seems
they all have a list, independently.
mircea_popescu: anyway -
this is what it was, we had a list of unclear provenance, mats processed it well,
then more names were found, and it became a question of, well, gotta make a complete proper list.
mircea_popescu: phf not how "democracy" etc works now is it. of course people make lists,
they gotta be afraid. very, very afraid.
phf: probably don't want people
to start "making lists"
mircea_popescu: mats if you manage
to dig out some sort of you know, official publication listing
them
that'd be golden.
mircea_popescu: it boggles
the mind ;
they want
to issue id
to livestock, you can't get a list of "magistrates" ?
mircea_popescu: well what
the fuck do i do here,
the guy has a reasonable stand, but i mean... is
this country so orcish it publishes no such
thing as a god damned judges list ?
mats: my source of
truth was nubbins list, which was based on some judgepedia
thing
hanbot: yeah mats def did solid work on
that
thing. dubious if it's complete, dubious how close
the measuring could get. mircea_popescu as i recall i googled for related
terms, specifically avoiding lists
mircea_popescu: no i saw, she
threw up some names and you added
them, it's very good work. but
the point is... are
there more ?
mats: hanbot was gonna look at it but got caught up in some
trb
thing
mircea_popescu: mats
the major problem is how
the fuck does one get an ~actual~ list of all
these schmucks.
phf: i remember first seeing
that speech on a pirated encarta copy i bought in moscow metro pirate shop
mircea_popescu: ah i remember, you had a solid list but
then it
turned out
there's a bunch of
ther judges.
phf: ask not what
tmsr can do for you
mats: mircea_popescu: what can i do
to bring
the courts-circus project
to a close?
mircea_popescu: anyway,
this squarely counts as a maintenance item
that cost more
than not bothering i guess.
mircea_popescu: apparently you're supposed
to say /mode #trilema +b *!*pablo___@213.152.162.94 rather
than /msg chanserv FLAGS #trilema *!*pablo___@213.152.162.94 +b
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
these people with
the ads.
there's
two google shits AND a popup overlay wtf already.
a111: Logged on 2016-06-25 23:48 asciilifeform: and
the whole 'favela' looks nicer
than most of baltimore.
mircea_popescu: "why is
this line of code here ?" "because we want
to..." "bitch, nobody cares, WHY is it here!"
mircea_popescu: errors
travel back down and grind down not your results, but ~your capacity for having any results~.
mircea_popescu: this, i propose, is what ALWAYS happens when ANY consideration is given
to purpose rather
than remaining entirely grounded in cause.
mircea_popescu: who could have predicted just how powerful an analytical
tool
that random encounter on a blog's comment page would
turn out
to be.
a111: Logged on 2016-06-26 16:43 mircea_popescu: anywya. your definition of dumb is not useful, because being smart is no particular defense against being dumb. i can readily grant
that
they're smart, in
the sense of
trained monkey : give it a fiddle and watch in amazement. but without
the fiddle it's just a monkey, and just like
the horse
that can count
to five is a remarkable horse, not a remarkable matematician -
these friends of yours are particularly
mircea_popescu: anyway, as
to
the punctual objection, yes very much directory should be dht.
mircea_popescu: would you prefer "build correctly
the it" ? which is how a sane language would say it, but english gotta homogenize everything.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it's also not clear
there's such a
thing as "perpetuum mobile"
that is still recognizable.
this is no license
to sell "state of
the art perpetuum mobili"
a111: Logged on 2016-06-26 16:48 mircea_popescu: and what
they can do is build it correctly, rather
than "build it brokenly and pretend it's correctly because
that's what nsa needs of us"
mircea_popescu: "we have all
these plastic knives and cardboard shoes. don't walk in
them. best civilisation."
a111: Logged on 2016-06-21 15:22 mircea_popescu: and in other lulz : wordpress interface dies if one
tries
to publish a 10mb
text article with "unknown error". apparently
this has never happened before.
mircea_popescu: can't be a soldier, can't be a father, can't be an anything for reals, just
tryin'
ta bla bla bla.
Framedragger: re. other stuff, i'm not exactly on
the opposite side of
the fence, i suppose, so eh!
BingoBoingo: But break up island can pretend currency
too

THat is an incredibly rude question
to ask a vet

☟︎ a111: Logged on 2016-06-26 15:45 Framedragger: did you ever run a god damn
tor browser? you prolly didnt because usg. it has banners and warnings all over. what else can one do.
they're
transparent about
the bugs (incl upstream firefox) etc. not saying
that i'd use
tor for important
things now.
a111: Logged on 2016-06-26 15:42 shinohai: 22:31 < ioerror>
Tor is compromised. <<< lulz. When wasn't it?
mircea_popescu: kinda destroys
the value proposition of
the whole
thing. im sure
that just as soon as
the delusion dries up, and
their bubble finally gets punctured, be it because we finally smash
the fed presses, or for any other reason,
they'll find it within
themselves
that
the need
to eat exceeds
the disinclination
to not repent.
mircea_popescu: the only strange
thing is
that
they never seem
to be 19, and almost always 39.
