asciilifeform: they dun get 'emissions laws' Because Reasons (tm)
asciilifeform: ( by some accounts, good % of the 'smellable' pollution )
asciilifeform: funnily enuff plenty of old-fashioned burnt oil exhaust in usa -- from grass-cutting crapola
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: aha, auto exhaust apparently aint it.
asciilifeform: interestingly, both tx and rx end is considerably simpler, physically, than conventional periodic radio -- you dun need oscillators, tuners, at all. aside from pulse shaper, whole thing fits in fpga.☟︎
asciilifeform: basic idea, however buried under mountain of paper rubbish, is deadly simple : instead of periodic wave, you send shaped bursts of 'static' that cover entire $band ( ideally, below noise floor ); on other side, receiver has a correspondingly-shaped filter. pulse position encoding + luby etc. for receive.
asciilifeform: as for 'uwb', they were content to issue ban edicts, and then for good measure to bernsteinize all of the remaining 'experts' they could get to.☟︎
asciilifeform: lulzily enuff, for own needs , usg ( they use the limba de lemn 'low probability of interception' ) prefers old-fashioned 'frequency hopping', which requires nanosecond time synchronization ( i.e. for the gps sats to work ).
asciilifeform: ( but of course you won't find it in anglo 'literature' . )
asciilifeform: the funny, if obvious, bit, is that pulsing worx just fine over whatever band. just needs the correct pulse waveform.
asciilifeform: mprisoned' uwb to a uselessly short wavelength ( 2-4GHz, with a dip at 3 to 'avoid interfere with gps' ). the academitards naturally bent over backwards , killing whole forest printing paperola re 'optimal fcc-compliant gaussian pulse generation', some konsoomer crud was sold with 'uwb' to transmit vga over 3-4 metres in a room, and that was that.
asciilifeform: meanwhile, in re: output of archaeology dig re: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-07-05#1831796, and in particular http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-04#1732905 : turns out, the orig theoretical model was a 1989 su item, kostylev & astanin's 'основы сверхширокополосных радиолокационных измерений' . then in early 2000s anglo academitards picked it up, and in 2009 subj 'died' after usg dictate 'i☝︎☝︎☟︎
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: ( asciilifeform never used fetlife.. ) why is it that the bois are able to read your slutograms ? ( are all posts public ? )
asciilifeform: ( for all i know, it could still be the best example available. but, still , nuts )
asciilifeform looks at 'ircd-ratbox' , somewhat astonished at the mass, coupla MB of src (moar than, e.g., trb)
asciilifeform: 'did mircea_popescu rate elaineo +2 or -10'
asciilifeform: i still dunget how wot benefits from ambiguity.
asciilifeform: i dun necessarily disagree with above, but must point out possibly mislabeled reactor control, either l1-issued rating is a public event, and then really oughta be part of forum record; or otherwise it is strictly 'between us gurlz , and gotta ask erry time'; but right now n00b could not tell that it ain't meant to be entirely the former
asciilifeform: pharma biz much moar effective, lay down 1m idjits at a time..
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: what then is point of deedbot www , if 'oughta ask every time'
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: what states. simply print copy of success output 'x rated y -10 lamer' etc into chan , neh
asciilifeform: sorta what death is, neh; head, arse, 'go their own way', stomach happily digests self, gut bacteria open up 'independent biznis' while there's fat to eat.
asciilifeform: ( not only brain. arse, also -- iirc gorby nao in germany )
asciilifeform: goes back to the fundamental thread, of why 'brain' packed off to miami, milan, etc.
asciilifeform: re the other kind ( 'It's a forced thing, which they don't enjoy and at which they're therefore not any good, predictably enough' ) reminds me of shalamov's anecdote where 2 gulag zeks hear a call for carpenters and say 'me, me, i'ma carpenter' despite never having held a saw 'because what, any idjit can cut wood' and promptly falling into lulz
asciilifeform: not so easy to compete with milan, where, what, 7 months of springtime
asciilifeform: afaik there was no shortage of whores etc. in '95 ( and even some mircea_popescus ) , didn't seem to help
asciilifeform: why is 'we'll eat by brushing each other's hair' hilariously stupid when modern usa does it, but somehow could've worked in su ?
asciilifeform: su circa '90 was , sure, 'healthy but for one thing', like the organs of guillotined man.
asciilifeform: and i'll admit, it is unclear still to me where the inhabitants of '100mn sqm of hruscheba' were to be employed , fed with what. su industry imploded, the ex-su space is to this day a land of ruined factories with missing roofs , like the outskirts of timis.
asciilifeform: he's the fella with the biggest raft, even has identifiable pieces of the bridge and periscope still attached, is all.
asciilifeform: ~none of the managerial caste showed any symptom of desire to keep the boat floating, but plenty of enthusiasm re tearing off choice planks to make rafts.
asciilifeform: to the extent there was a logic, i suspect it was a venezuelan logic, 'washington will pay for titanium and petro, but didn't say it wants 40mil aboriginals with these'
asciilifeform: su brass was in full nest-feathering miami mode, the d00d who sold the coal that was meant to keep primorye above 0c in winter being prime example
asciilifeform: naturally orlol omits to mention ~why~ ru immigration laws. ( there's a quite straightforward prime mover -- millions of su plankton formerly living in various newly-'independent' goatfuckistans packet suitcases in '90s and all tried to squeeze somehow into moscow and petrograd , quite impossible to fit )
asciilifeform: ^ he moved there, and still only counts as 'tourist'
asciilifeform: when 'shopping center' or 'condo block' monstrosities built in usa , they also seem to invariably feature what is by all appearances a purpose-built mosquito breeding pond.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-07-21#1836936 << this might be the key re why mosquito hell in usa 'suburbia' -- the only public land there, is the asphalt. ( who wants spraying , has to specifically pay , and they come and spray out poison that kills errything that moves, frogs, cats, dogs, etc )☝︎☟︎
asciilifeform: country of great tombs, and ??? people, sorta like egypt ( iirc mircea_popescu did egypt, wouldja say similar ? )
asciilifeform: still interesting that somebody might have btc but can't muster pesos.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: oh ha, they taxed'em, didn't they. like brits.
asciilifeform: i think his bot is just a grep in the old ro idiom dict
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: was thinking, about your argentines : remember the oddball who ordered FG and never picked up at the post ? i still can't fathom.
