BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> hard enough
that bush's idiots couldn't do it unless
the
thing beaconed. << /me remembers
that lulz
shinohai: I kinda mangled
that last sentence
though.
Framedragger: i want
to write something like
this, but dread
the fact
that i would have
to review a shitton of shitty attempts. one approach, i guess, is
to just dismiss
those attempts, come up with a sane and straightforward design, and implementing without
too much fuss...
mircea_popescu: it's worth a lulz
tho.
they have
to catch bbc or else it may be
the case
they should fire.
mircea_popescu: fun factoid :
the (only!) uk sub actually has a... mile long aerial in
tow.
mircea_popescu: anyway.
this whole
thing... children
threatening with holding
their breath.
mircea_popescu: yeah, well,
that's where
the pain starts : it'd be a wonder if
the whole nato fleet can launch a coupla dozen simultaneous.
mircea_popescu: and for
that matter - a nuke IS a fucking beacon.
thermally even!
mircea_popescu: i'm not particularly interested in defending
the us from imaginary attacks
mircea_popescu: how hard do you
think it is
to put a missile in its path ?
mircea_popescu: point remains,
the item is in
the air for half an hour, during which it is a larger source
than anything in
the sky in about a
third of
the spectrum. it weighs a hundred fucking
tons, and is about as maneuvrable as a dead whale.
mircea_popescu: and whole shebang is made of fucking epoxy, if you can imagine
that. all
the structural integrity and shielding of chewing gum.
mircea_popescu: if memory serves, it goes for 10k kms at a
top speed of maybe 20k km/h
mircea_popescu: actually... it
takes about half hour
to cover its range.
mircea_popescu: yaya.
the mechanics of
the
thing are against
them. you have a very visible (really, in
the right spectrum it blots out
the sun), slow moving large object. doing what.
mircea_popescu: i'd be surprised if
they can usefully launch anything by
this point.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i vaguely suspect delivery actually worked better in 49
than it does
today.
mircea_popescu is kinda amused at all
the "oh noes, nuclear war destroys planet as we know it". go for it boys, really.
mircea_popescu: easier
to explain
to
the peons why
they can't have chocolate
this week if
there's an "all out
total war" going
mircea_popescu: truth be
told,
the scenario is rather plausible.
the us has nowhere
to
turn.
mircea_popescu: it's gonna be funny as we age, and all sorts of infantile derps are
the #78589 satoshi
mircea_popescu: coming right next after
the official usg libertard ideologue steps in here
to prove
to me how wrong i am about
things and matters.
mircea_popescu: look, you're
theoretically arguing about
things in such a vague distant approach it's not worth
the skinning.
mircea_popescu: they
TRIED
to anoint one,
to great lulz. dr whateverthefuck.
mircea_popescu: ironically i fucking warned
the idiots when
they fired
the hearn
toothpick. but,
too dumb
to figure it out.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform how
the fuck are you going
to generate "Aditional gavins" roflmao.
mod6: to put out
the blow
torch
a111: Logged on 2016-05-20 00:25 mircea_popescu:
they had plans, none of which worked,
their cost basis keeps exploding, which is not nice,
mircea_popescu: too used with
the "we control
the vertical, and
the horizontal" usual fare.
mircea_popescu: they had gavin and all it
took was a
trilema post
to
turn him from st peter
to a sort of dan quayle. it's not
the sort of
thing
the grunts like
to face.
shinohai: I'd ask BA for a quote for Qntra, but he blocked me on
twatter
mircea_popescu: anyway, asciilifeform, morale at
the ant farm is exceptionally low.
mircea_popescu: shinohai eth is
the backup plan,
turns out. lulzy shit.
shinohai: Coinbase is rebranding
their exchange as well -added ETH like all
the other hippies lately.
mircea_popescu: so
the logical expectation is
that
they'll rage before
they quit.
mircea_popescu: the options keep narrowing until it's either rage or quit. because obviously
the correct and naturally-imposed solution of submit and humbly suck mp's cock is for some incomprehensible reason not on
their plate.
mircea_popescu: recall,
the usg & friends, as well as any and all other wanna-be, pretended or otherwise power centers have been regularly humiliated.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform not so much
that, moreover simple desperation.
mircea_popescu: they had plans, none of which worked,
their cost basis keeps exploding, which is not nice,
☟︎ mircea_popescu: basically,
tmsr has been extremely effectual at murdering usg assets and crippling usg influence in bitcoin,
this doth not sit well with
them ;
mircea_popescu: ;;later
tell copypaste btw
the party's here --> #trilema
shinohai: "Whose a pain in
the ass now bitch?"
shinohai: I
tried earlier
today, was 404 for me :/
trinque senses he will need his shitwaders for
this
