asciilifeform: well no, that's the funny bit, the angle of 'hey cannon fodder, wanna die honourably for emperor?' angle was muchly in place already then.
mp_en_viaje: but in 41, nobody wanted them to, because will need these to live an' help administer manchuko or w/e.
asciilifeform: if tokkotai brigade had somehow formed in '41, and not '44, when ~nuffin left with wings still attached, could have easily sunk entire usg navy.
asciilifeform: ( phunphakt -- the orig. kamikazes were not 'just anyone', but recruits with top marks and gold reccs. at one time dozen or so takers to erry spot. )

Whereas Socialism, and even capitalism in a grudging way, have said to people “I offer you a good time,” Hitler has said to them “I offer you struggle, danger and death,” and as a

BingoBoingo: And the baboons with the color coded butts
BingoBoingo: Plenty of monkeys in blackface too.
mp_en_viaje: if you think about it, raccoons go about in ironic blackface or what.
BingoBoingo: Plenty of opportunities to obsess over animals fucking with them
BingoBoingo: 's trash pandas
BingoBoingo: Well, they went from a continent with monkeys to a continent with asciilifeform
BingoBoingo: But yes, black academica after the NAACP's founding is a fountain of lulz
mp_en_viaje: by which bullshit we're supposed to not notice that "the signifying monkey is approximately kermit for retards -- something some dude 'came up with' for ~tv in the 50s on the basis of what he remembered of the little he understood from what that german professor visiting his community college said.
mp_en_viaje: "The signifying monkey is a character of African-American folklore that derives from the trickster figure of Yoruba mythology, Esu Elegbara."
mp_en_viaje: "According to Gates, the practice derived from the Trickster archetype found in much African mythology, folklore, and religion: a god, goddess, spirit, man, woman, or anthropomorphic animal who plays tricks or otherwise disobeys normal rules and societal norms."
mp_en_viaje: onveys, or is intended to convey." Gates takes this idea of signifying and "doubles" it in order to explain signifyin(g). He states of Black Vernacular, "their complex act of language Signifies upon both formal language use and its conventions, conventions established, at least officially, by middle-class white people."[5] "
mp_en_viaje: "Rudy Ray Moore, known as "Dolemite", is well known for having used the term in his comedic performances. While Signifyin(g) is the term coined by Henry Louis Gates, Jr. to represent a black vernacular, the idea stems from the thoughts of Ferdinand De Saussure and the process of signifying—"the association between words and the ideas they indicate."[4] Gates states, "'Signification,' in Standard English, denotes the meaning that a term c

mp_en_viaje: all knowing (as the cultural process) is in the end a trapdoor function of some kind and no more.
mp_en_viaje: well yes, but one of the very few if not the only available means to scientify about knowledge is to aggregate estimates and compare systematic errors.
diana_coman: eh, people are quite terrible at estimating anyway and when it's plain guesstimate esp so.
mp_en_viaje: just consider the lulz of all time : in any sample sufficiently large, males will implicitly overestimate the total amount of copulation going on by about a half-magnitude factor. the sheer naive simplicity that's required of one to thusly behave...
diana_coman: ah, right; there it is, the one thing indeed.
mp_en_viaje: in all shapes and forms, from suicide to spending their day fucking with chiclid fish or collecting stamps ; from going to war to editing wikipedia.
diana_coman: for that matter I'm not even sure what exactly are they *less* conservative about, anyway
diana_coman: ah, that yes
mp_en_viaje: there's some biological and plenty of social basis for this, too.
mp_en_viaje: anyways. as an anthropological fact males are significantly more sexually conservative and significantly less sexually informed than females.
mp_en_viaje: kinda the basis of human society, too. dude stops car in gas station, orders a fill. obvious enough he's one of the people who gets fills at gas stations -- there's the car, there he stands asking for gas, in the manner such is done.
diana_coman: aha; basically having done the work and spoke the words, it takes all of 3 minutes, sure; as always.
mp_en_viaje: "i'm the guy that so and so".
mp_en_viaje: had what to point to in terms of creds. as in http://archive.is/cpRj6#selection-9.5171-9.5201
diana_coman: the "had what to point to and knew what to ask for" sounds superficially a "point and babble" sort of thing; doesn't work quite that well if that's ALL there is to it
mp_en_viaje: what distinguishes lord from orc ? "had what to point to and knew what to ask for".
mp_en_viaje: absent the two... why, you can lick the walls for decades, go on pixel clicking hunts until you break down your mouse.
mp_en_viaje: honestly, i'd propose it's about 0% different from how things work here. have the creds and speak the words, you're in, takes all of three and a half minutes.
mp_en_viaje: kinda how this goes, i'd guesstimate about 2/3 of reproductive age females and 1% or so of reproductive age males know-about-it
mp_en_viaje: anyways, even with civillians... me spent a few hours in the tiniest spa known to mankind. rando couple, "soo.. .are you a triplet ?" "actually, they're my slaves" "wut?!?!?" "do you know what bdsm is ?" dude : nope ; chick yup. ☟︎

BingoBoingo: May have existed in the 1980s?

asciilifeform: i've prolly signed moar entirely logically-exclusive documents than anyone else, but they were proggy variants. if one were to do this re ip/name , then, what , gotta manually disentangle vtree erry time you want to resolve a site ?!
a111: Logged on 2019-05-04 05:31 mp_en_viaje: (in particular http://btcbase.org/log/2019-05-03#1911102 is at best naive : if you insist that my key does not sign competing chains [which is not even necessarily a bad idea] i will simply make ~multiple keys~, which will each sign whichver chain i wish to sign for whatever reason, and which will pass the "omg civil war" safeguard while achieving exactly no satisfaction of the bijection contemplated -- they'll still be my keys, one and all.)
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-05-04#1911126 << iirc mircea_popescu gave this very same algo for 'how ideally to organize v-branches of proggy'. it remains unclear to asciilifeform why you would want to do this for name/ip tuples tho. ☝︎
Mocky: "more than one mapping change" ☟︎
Mocky: my point is not that this is likely to happen, but that it would defeat the purpose of host name resolution to release patches in this way and so it would end up being a linear chain among cooperating folks. But on further consideration I see that this is only true when patches contain more than mapping change
Mocky: supposing that a0, a1 etc. are host names and b0 etc are ip addresses, and further suppose that at time t2 a1 becomes unreachable at b2 and reachable at b1 (precipitating the patch a t2) then there are now no nodes in the flow going all the way out to t5 and beyond where both a0 and a1 would be reachable if pressed
Mocky: mp, I can make my point using your flow if you allow a slight change to the patch at t1, such that instead of 'a0 -> b0, a1 -> b2' it does 'a0 -> b9, a1 -> b2'.
a111: Logged on 2019-05-04 05:44 mp_en_viaje: where's the civil war ? obviously if A wants to be upsed at F, or R, or for that matter Q or U it's entirely his right and priviledge to proceed ; but what ~systematic~ rule for warmaking can you propose on the basis of this flow of history ?
Mocky: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-05-04#1911138 << I did not construe asciilifeform's language of civil war/schism to suggest that the proposal is weak to systematic attack, merely that a schism between people could be reflected in the graph ☝︎

mp_en_viaje: poor serbs. they really had the world's best pastries last decade.
diana_coman: heh, fornetti is the universal name for industrialised replacement of replacement in the pastry world; I hadn't realised it had spread that far.
mp_en_viaje: basically the cheap and inedible "fornetti" crap took over.
mp_en_viaje: this is a horrible loss to human culture i guess few are apt to appreciate. but horrible nevertheless.
mp_en_viaje: sadly belgrade's sour milks and bread specialties culture seems to have muchly decayed in the intervening ~decade.

mp_en_viaje: nobody's about to order anyone to document all the water -- and by this i mean, asciilifeform ain't gonna send himself on such foolish errands, nor you, nor anyone else. let the water be.
mp_en_viaje: the nightmare was that i had ordered her to document all the water.
mp_en_viaje: to put it in other terms -- if this fit in head, it'd be broken. the ~mechanism~ is supposed to be fit in head ; not the data.
mp_en_viaje: (pro tip : of fucking course you can't, if you could it'd be therefore cryptographically weak.)
mp_en_viaje: where's the civil war ? obviously if A wants to be upsed at F, or R, or for that matter Q or U it's entirely his right and priviledge to proceed ; but what ~systematic~ rule for warmaking can you propose on the basis of this flow of history ? ☟︎
mp_en_viaje: at t5, yet another fellow has the choice of whether to follow F's chain, or R's chain, or the A-Q-G-B-N-I chain or so following.
mp_en_viaje: at t4, another fellow named F looks to change gns so that a0 -> b8. this fellow goes through all the keys, loads up all possible tips (which are t1#t1, t2#t1, t3#t3, the last one ~in itself ambiguous at this point in our tale) and produces : on the first chain a t4#t2 ; on the 2nd chain a t4#t2 ; on the third chain a t4#t4, and signs all of these.
mp_en_viaje: suppose yet again the fellow knows A. in this case, he has a choice : either he does the first suppose above, or the second. this choice is ~his~.
mp_en_viaje: suppose instead the fellow only knew K. he'd have pressed t1#t1, resulting in a gns a0->b0 ; a1 -> b2 ; a2 -> b5 and a manifest #t3.
mp_en_viaje: At t3, a fellow looks to add a2 -> b5 to the gns. suppose this fellow whose name is R knows only Q. Thus therefore he presses t2#t1, and so gns becomes a1->b1, a2->b5 while manifest becomes #t3.
mp_en_viaje: At t2, there is a patch upon t0#t0, transforming gns to a1->b1 ; manifest becomes #t1. this is signed by A, Q, G, B, N, I.
