mircea_popescu: "Turkey has fired hundreds of senior military staff serving at NATO in Europe and the United States following July’s coup attempt, documents show, broadening a purge to include some of the armed forces’ best-trained officials."
<<< except "most esltardian" does not mean "best trained". in fact, it means the opposite.
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: "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: Obama said. “So my suggestion would be go out there and try to win the election. If Mr. Trump is up 10 or 15 points on Election Day and ends up losing, then maybe he can raise some questions.”
<< even better. lol.
mircea_popescu: In a recent interview, Obama’s 2008 opponent, John McCain marveled at his own challenges when trying to connect with African American voters. “I didn’t get a single vote in the whole inner city of Philadelphia,” the Arizona GOP senator told POLITICO. “I thought maybe they could find one.”

☝︎ mircea_popescu: "Trump was never a happy warrior, exactly, but he had some zest in the primaries. There was a hearty gusto in the way he insulted Jeb Bush or Marco Rubio. That gusto was gone tonight, replaced by pure agitation and irritation."

<< in NOMINAL terms. with > 15% inflation per annum this means that 81% of the people who were employed in 2005 make ABOUT A QUARTER today of what trhey made back then.
mircea_popescu: s. The powerful women of the 1970s and 1980s — Indira Gandhi, Golda Meir, Margaret Thatcher — were iron ladies, famous (metaphorically speaking) for having more cojones than the average male politician. By contrast, the female leaders of our time are not just female; they are also feminine."
