mircea_popescu: asciilifeform and ironically the tanks of sludge got to be in the first place because "people want to read the code".
asciilifeform: pushing around huge fucking tanks of unstructured text sludge that has to be picked apart by machine every single fucking time you want to do anything - leads to regexp.
mircea_popescu: at McDonalds and the system gets another data point confirming it is right. I hope the parallel between this and anything written by Solzhenitsyn is immediately obvious, if not, read anything by Solzhenitsyn. The Matrix doesn't need you, but it will offer you a free pass if you help get the other batteries in line."
mircea_popescu: ng to do with addiction. The reinforcement is from the outside to comply with this idiocy: say you party down one weekend, then a random drug test at work, oops! So two things can happen, Guess What Happens Next: you could tell the truth that the coke was on her ass and how could you not? doesn't make you a bad person; or pretend/admit you're an addict and agree to go to rehab.

mircea_popescu: "Before, the experience of addiction was entirely subjective, is it messing up your life? Now, it's been objectified, the subject's relationship with the drug is is no longer relevant, it is the fact of the drug that is relevant. The obvious example of this sleight of hand is that there's alcohol use and alcohol abuse, but there's no such category as cocaine use, even though the vast majority of its ingestion has nothi
asciilifeform: because the alternative is ?????????
asciilifeform: which is that the shrinkage of design space led us into a place where often one MUST use a regexp or a similarly braindamaged thing

asciilifeform: 'Defense lawyers for Charles Severance, 54, of Ashburn, had asked the judge to bar prosecutors from using the writing as evidence out of concern that his inflammatory message would unfairly rile up a jury against him.'
asciilifeform: 'In another passage he writes, “I’ve been nudging and trolling for over a decade and nobody has noticed. Violence wins. Assassinate because it is in the best interest of the child.”'
mircea_popescu: a ok this isn't his

BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> and wtf, the usg Official Truth is that MOST small arms homicides in usa have .22 hole. << Pehaps he had the fancy copper plate stuff.
asciilifeform: jury was either a) not told this b) knew but was Officially ordered to disregard ?
asciilifeform: and wtf, the usg Official Truth is that MOST small arms homicides in usa have .22 hole.
asciilifeform: 'Lord [prosecutor] also said he believed that Severance did not leave forensic evidence at the scene of any of the killings because he wore gloves. He pointed out that ballistics experts said it was exceedingly rare for a killing to be carried out with the type of .22-caliber ammunition used in each case and added that Severance displayed guilty behavior by fleeing to the Russian Embassy in the District after police initially

asciilifeform: 'A former Virginia political candidate was convicted on Monday of three murders over an 11-year span that fed fears of a serial killer in the U.S. capital area.'
asciilifeform: 'a prosecutor told a jury Wednesday. The killings, carried out over roughly a decade, were nothing short of “political assassinations.” “Introduce murder into a safe and secure neighborhood,” Alexandria Assistant Commonwealth’s Attorney David Lord quoted from Severance’s writings.'
mircea_popescu: but they are convincing!
asciilifeform: the 'damning writings' themselves are - unsurprisingly - not public anywhere, afaik.
asciilifeform: (elsewhere) 'Severance was arrested in March 2014 over the murders after he sought asylum at the Russian Embassy in D.C. He was reportedly 'sent away' from the embassy and told he was an 'unwanted guest'.'
mircea_popescu: im sure they're very convincing.
asciilifeform: 'Their most convincing piece of evidence might be Severance’s writings, seized from his car and through various electronic means.'
mircea_popescu: get with the program, there's no prizes for being the last traitor of a dying state.
mircea_popescu: awww, nsa division head fell into the "find me five lines and i'll hang him" trap ?
asciilifeform: earlier, 'The case against Charles Severance, who turned 55 last month in the Fairfax County jail, is a circumstantial one, predicated largely on Severance’s voluminous writings and ballistics evidence that isn’t as conclusive as prosecutors might like.'
asciilifeform: mug shot suggests that they caught... rasputin ?
asciilifeform: 'An eccentric history buff was found guilty Monday of killing three prominent Alexandria residents over the course of a decade..... Prosecutors said he was motivated by bitterness over a child custody battle that he lost and a general hatred of Alexandria’s elite..'

mircea_popescu: One entangles the nephew of one of the most important and powerful Black Nationalist political figures of the 20th Century, Jomo Kenyatta, and the other entangles a key tribal rival to Kenyatta in love child triangles just at the moment of the critical end to a long bloody struggle for Kenyan independence from white colonial rule."
mircea_popescu: Ordinarily that’s the way the story is suppose to end, two small town boys from Middle America makes good. It was just faith that two young white independent American females just happened to be in the right place and right time [one in the middle of the East Africa] by chance meet two centrally placed Black African Liberation figures key to the interests of British and U.S. Foreign Policy.
mircea_popescu: After graduating from Libertyville High School, Tom Morello was the first student in Libertyville’s history to be admitted to Harvard University. Yet when he graduated with a degree in political science, Tom Morello asserts that he was “unemployable.” He then turned up in Hollywood as an exotic male stripper.
mircea_popescu: obi, Kenya. Mary Morello had travelled to Kenya as well as Germany, Spain, Japan under a clandestine veil as an English language teacher between 1957 and 1963.

mircea_popescu: that is the best stern blurb i ever heard.
mircea_popescu: "In America, everything is a commodity, everything has a price. So when post-gold standard capitalism gets access to everything except the secret desires of women, it will necessarily create a mechanism to get them, too, i.e. some media to take the bullet as pervert so women can be free to talk in exchange for men quietly listening in. It took a decade but the system worked: Howard Stern was the inevitable synthesis of
btcdrak: "I think it's clear now that actually getting Bitcoin to the fabled seven transactions per second will be a lot of hard work, unless someone comes up with a new SatoshiDice like business model that results in huge demand for transactions.
