mircea_popescu: oddly enough, criminals have enough sense
to murder rape victim ; do not have enough sense
to murder police dude after altercation.
mats: give
the fella a chance
to
tell his buddies, have you beaten by plainclothesman in holding cell?
mats: why would you do anything less
than kill cop and annihilate
the remains, when it comes
to harm?
ascii_butugychag: in other equally-interesting news, somebody somewhere prolly got mauled by a rabid dog
today.
BingoBoingo: Cop had Champagne and Sportsball player had none in
that moment. Apparently
that was fucked up enough.
thestringpuller: thought it was common "street honor" not
to kill five-oh. cop has
to do something really fucked up for actual criminal (the one's capable of organizing)
to do "whole harm"
to one, unless society has finally devolved into all out barbarism here
BingoBoingo: Many ways in
this case
that
the police for
the moment are on
the wrong side of unequal
BingoBoingo: Notable in
this case is police are struggling
to get arrest warrants for
the sportsball players
BingoBoingo: Right, but
this
time
they were on
the wrong side of unequal
BingoBoingo: Just offering for
the record
that on equal
terms US police lose
to demographics with more sophisticated doping methods
BingoBoingo: ascii_butugychag: But one of
them cracked a law enforcement skull
BingoBoingo: In other news Rush Limbaugh just saved Rubio's Saturday debate performance with
the other candidates were wrong for insisting Bahamas is jsut stupid and not instead abjectly evil.
mircea_popescu: it would be fucking great.
there's absolutely no reason for canada
to pretend it's a sort of europe anymore
than
there's reason for argentina
to.
nubbins`: maybe some small-scale subsistence windowsill farming in between
to help bridge
the gap
nubbins`: it'll be interesting watching canada regress
to a hunter-gatherher society over
these next few decades
nubbins`: ascii_butugychag i was surprised
to learn (a)
that
this exists only in alberta and (b)
that it was once so common
that
they came up with a catchy name for it
nubbins`: well say in
the meantime you razed
the house and added a viper-and-mercury pit
nubbins`: and now
the gov is QQing because a bunch of people are doing it
nubbins`: mircea_popescu alberta has a peculiarity of law where one can walk away from one's mortgage, mail
the keys
to
the bank, & not have any further liability
mircea_popescu: "do i have any proof for my <<<claim>>>
they're idiots ???"
thestringpuller: ;;later
tell ben_vulpes Box is stood up. Hope you enjoyed superbowl.
assbot: Logged on 08-02-2016 16:14:35; mircea_popescu: nubbins` my problem is
that i really can't stand idiots.
BingoBoingo: I
think, actually checking would
take
time away from newsmining
BingoBoingo: pretty sure December I set a personal record for words.
Then January set a personal record for headlines.
BingoBoingo: Anyways, prolly best
to learn
to cope with actual sobriety first
BingoBoingo: nubbins`:
Then I'd fac
the Shrem's bong dilemma.
nubbins`: BingoBoingo get on
the reefers dude
BingoBoingo: #b-a goes
through its mostly epicurean stage. nubbins` drinks less, mircea_popescu eats less, BingoBoingo realizes he only binge drinks has
to stop entirely
nubbins`: give back
to
the local community 8)
mircea_popescu: harem is a fucking unbalanced construction. i should have a small army around it so
they could eat my pies and i could look on and be happy in my old age.
mircea_popescu: it's not fucking fair. god damned shitlords ruining
the world for everyone.
mircea_popescu: im stuck with a bunch of women
that all cook well and like
to do it. and so i've recently discovered
that eating less actually makes me feel better!
nubbins`:
thats not
to say you can't binge drink, you just do it in moderation
nubbins`: all
things in moderation! i'm down 5kg since
the holidays!
nubbins`: the danger of homebrew beer:
too yummy
ascii_butugychag: and
the
timecube linked earlier, was an even better illustration
ascii_butugychag: and i
think mircea_popescu had an article specially about
this
mircea_popescu: and if we know for a fact you're alone,
the advice is entirely correct.
ascii_butugychag: in
the same way as 'don't cut open a man's abdomen if you want him
to live' is ~generally~ correct
mircea_popescu: writing own crypto [especially if done by
the
typically ustardian aloneman, a la shaun bridges etc] is bound
to crash in
the local maxima problem discussed a minute ago.
ascii_butugychag: 'but mustn't do
that, schneier
told us never
to write own crypto'
ascii_butugychag: mircea_popescu: it is almost possible
to catalogue
the cockroaches
typically infesting n00b heads - for instance, having a set of 'too big
to contemplate' steps, such as junking 'nacl' et al and writing own libs
mircea_popescu: anyway,
this is where alf's celebrated "engineering is separation" comes in.
mircea_popescu: ascii_butugychag and godel famously wasn't quite
together.
mircea_popescu: on
the contrary ; a) make farts visible in
the night ; b) maybe you acquire flight.
ascii_butugychag: godel famously starved because, in his words, he was convinced
that he was being poisoned.
ascii_butugychag: which, for
the
typical usaschwitz 'dissident' - may well be ~true~
ascii_butugychag: mircea_popescu: possibly kid imagines
that
the company of others leads directly
to 'militia', and usg stoolies, and straight into jail
mircea_popescu: my article specifically says "it will make kids lose
their mind", and kid with lost mind reads it and it helps naught.
nubbins`: ascii_butugychag in
this fantasy,
the s:n ratio is back where it was
mircea_popescu: no you fucking idiot, it won't. "anonimity" is what got you in
the pickle in
thefirst place, you don't want more of it. you want fucking less.
mircea_popescu: ascii_butugychag incidentally,
this is
the most shocking part of
the maqp kid. he is utterly alone, for
this reason entirely hopeless, and his solution is "hey, better aloneliness potion would help!"
nubbins` imagines future heavily-fractured internet reminiscent of
times of old, "warez & keyz" web rings &c
mircea_popescu: ofcourse,
they're mostly doing
their own people, but anyway.
nubbins`: they pointedly stated
that
the released list of bounty was abridged
mircea_popescu: so far
the usg is like 3-0 for "kidnapped, murdered and extorted keys"
nubbins`: what a lel. i wonder what /else/
they nabbed him with.
mircea_popescu: a bettrer man would have despaired when realising
that he has no soul
to rely on.
mircea_popescu: like
the idiot
thief, sorry he got caught, not sorry he's
the sort of dumbass
that feeds himself in
the least effectual way, yes.
nubbins`: the korean
term for
this is literally
translated as "smelling sesame oil"
nubbins`: mircea_popescu my heart empathetically raced as i imagined
the empty pit of despair engulfing him at
the moment of re-arrest
mircea_popescu: that man,
that redditards are supposed
to be affraid of, had none.
ascii_butugychag: and in defense of mircea_popescu ,
the arithmetical boojum involved was a subtle one, sorta like montyhall
mircea_popescu: nubbins`
think about it for a second :
that man had no friends.
mircea_popescu: ascii_butugychag see, bering
the commander of a glorious, victorious army unit does not protect one from dying in a drunken bar brawl.
ascii_butugychag: but with
the difference
that one might, given a miracle, find more ammo
mod6: shinohai: ok
thanks for
the update. let us know how it goes.
mircea_popescu: (meanwhile i asked for
the why and wherefore of
the "debiasing" of
the plaintext. "no you idiot, it's so you burn less otp. what
the fuck's wrong with you!")
