pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu and #2 is a list of journalists who may require quotes from
time
to
time, which i would
then provide directly or send
them here
to ask b-a directly ?
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo yeah, i figured he had me when he said
that :p
ascii_field: flea sled is great so long as it is not expected
to go anywhere in particular.
mircea_popescu: what you want is shannonizing meatrobots, capable of pouring out more nonsense.
they're cheaper
than
the electric
type, as of yet.
mircea_popescu: nobody gives a shit about extant social media accounts.
their value is not even a fractrion of
the work
they put in
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski no, it's more like, spend all your
time on fiverr and craigslist and wherever
the hungry congregate, spend a little money buying
their ample
time.
mircea_popescu: one could argue
that jobs genius is altogether not much above
this either.
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski arrington's success, you have
to understand, is very little more
than
this. it's not a difficult recipe
to read or follow. it just
takes
the hard worker
to execute.
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu i believe i grok
the first list - straightforward enough really, compile
those on 'social media' on 'our side' and focus
their energies accordingly - it's
the second list i'm less clear about.
mircea_popescu: depends for whom. why allow
the pinoys
to make
this money ?
ascii_field: at least as per mircea_popescutronic
theory
ascii_field was under
the impression
that
this is a waste of
time
mircea_popescu: you know, like reddit all agreed
that XT is gonna
take over.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: can't resist
the question, what is
the point of having
the first of
the lists ?
mircea_popescu: building
these is not particularly difficult,. but it
takes
time. more importantly, it
takes determination. and
the sort of attitude of
the guy
that hey,
the managers don't wanna see, but since
the phone is here...
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski a pr agency is in
this day and age a very simple affair, but somewhat
time consuming. in principle, it can be reduced
to a lone dude with an internet connection and
two lists. one, longer, of useful social media derps.
the sort
that are willing
to do
the hard work of upvoting, derping on reddit, etc.
the other, sadly shorter, of actual important people can
talk
to directly. like say "all newspaper column
ascii_field: just
the man for a 'Men wanted for hazardous journey. Low wages, bitter cold, long hours of complete darkness. Safe return doubtful. Honour and recognition in event of success.'
mircea_popescu: and
the process of her starvation was
that she starved on her own devices, b-a got her a place
to stay and
then she ran off.
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu how do you imagine
this agency working ?
mircea_popescu: she starved doing
the very scared of bombs secretary brit girl.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: pr agency, l0l! isn't
that what moiety starved doing ?
mircea_popescu: here's
the
thing in my head : b-a is by now at a stage where it kinda needs its own pr agency. and you might be just
the asshole
to do
that, if you swing
that way. do you swing
that way ?
mats: if you have plans
to buy
things with your credit card
tomorrow, should prob do it
today, processing networks will be intermittently down
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu property manager of a small, older commercial building
that my father owns. 6
tenants, 100 occupants, fun little project. also manage
two residential properties. also manage a small start-up in
the construction materials space, we make
the first/only/bestest fibreglass composite curtain wall framing. and
then
there's
the little one. le petit monstre...
☟︎ ascii_field: 2)
the new cards are BACKWARDS COMPATIBLE for www purchases and equally scammable
ascii_field: 'Starting
Thursday, merchants will be held fully liable for any losses due
to credit card fraud if
they are not geared up for
the new, more secure, chip cards. And consumers will need
to change
their habit of swiping
their credit cards
to pay: Instead,
they "dip"
their new cards into
terminals and leave
them
there until
the
transaction is complete.
That is, if
the retailer
they're shopping at has
the necessary equipment.'
mircea_popescu: hey pete_dushenski, what do you do in your spare
time ?
ascii_field: is
there no bus for
them
to end up under ?
mircea_popescu: you have no idea how clueless people in
the streets of a quaint european
town are.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: why, do you suppose,
the passers-by look so glum ?
ascii_field: i confess, i lack
the full vocabulary
to describe adequately a scamatron of
this complexity.
ascii_field: (what is it called when honest folks end up doing
this duty for a chumpatron..)
mircea_popescu: yes dude, most of
the "investments" are
that. "oops we lost
the money". right.
ascii_field: jurov: read
the link. if you can stomach it.
jurov: well.. laser depilation is a
thing
ascii_field: when i see something like
this, i cannot help but wonder if 'kickstarter' is a straight money laundry for siphoning stolen cc#
ascii_field: for bonus revulsion, picture what
this
tool would ~smell~ like if it were physically possible and worked.
ascii_field: addendum now has film of
the sc4mz0r burning his skin with what is - bet your arse - a hot nichrome wire
☟︎ ascii_field: don't use
the engl.
translations of
these, either.
thestringpuller: "Don't be afraid
to search
through Russian papers; once you need
to (you'll know when),
they're sufficiently mathematically dense
that you can follow along.
The words are mainly just
transitions anyway."
ascii_field: 'My recommendations are
to follow
The Making of
the Atomic Bomb and
The Los Alamos Primer (see "Books", below) with a few nuclear engineering and physics
texts, at which point you'll be well-equipped
to daydream about your own neutron initiator ideas and radical implosion symmetries. ' << without exception engl. language material is crawling with deliberate and potentially lethal disinfo, on
this and many other subjects.
ascii_field: thestringpuller: 'Since 2001-09-11, great stocks of (unclassified) information have been purged from US government sites. Various fellow
travelers (see below) maintain partial archives. Relevant conference proceedings (high-density physics, etc) get snapped up on used book sites quickly.' << learn ru.
mats: fun fact: an 'Untrusted' process can use a bug in COM impersonation with WMI
to escalate
to 'High Integrity'
mats: the wmi
talk covered some stuff i haven't seen before
mats: the movfuscator
talk is good, although i
think you've already looked at
the writeup
mircea_popescu: it used
to be latin, affero, where it meant
to bring (ferry comes from
the same fero root). it moved into french, where it meant
to
take over. it
then slowly moved into a more figurative "to give oneself
the airs of an office one does not yet have", at which point it moved into english, "to give oneself airs".
ascii_field: it is interesting
to watch old films and see
things like people going quietly
to police station when asked, politely !
ascii_field: at one point, it was understood (at least by urbanites) in usa
that killing a cop means
the electric chair first and questions later.
ascii_field: under was in stable condition.
The major is on administrative leave.' << as far as i can
tell, it was
the 'rats' who escalated from clubs and knives
to pistols, over ~50 yrs., in
the police-vs-rats warz
ascii_field: 'The police major—perhaps in mind of
the nationwide spate of police killings by
thugs—decided
to speak
to
this loitering person.
The content of
the conversation is not yet known.
The cop did
tell
the idiot
to show his hands.
The idiot refused
to show his empty hands.
The cop shot him in
the leg—I bet
that shit hurt!
The major
then
took off his own belt and used it as a
tourniquet and
the last I heard
the boy bl
mircea_popescu: it's really not
that rare. just uncommon
to be speaking english.
ascii_field: he also had 'there are pigs... such as you,
the reader...
then
there are jackals, who will eat your carcass when
the collapse comes... and
there are - or were, human beings. you have almost certainly never met one and never will, reader.' (translation mine)
ascii_field: wrote
the little bit about 'extracting your will cock from its scabbard' etc
ascii_field: or is
there some problem with
this heuristic
ascii_field: roughly, 'unable
to be herded by police like cattle' ?
mircea_popescu: your proposed "not pashtun" is not equal
to my actual position! nor even very similar.
assbot: Logged on 30-09-2015 04:42:57; mircea_popescu:
the only just desserts of a castrated population is
the humiliation ratchet.
ascii_field: 'I asked a professor for help with a problem. He
talked
to me for a bit and
then said “You’re having
trouble with
this problem because you don’t know anything and you’re not working very hard.”' << win
mircea_popescu: bwahahaha yeah,
that is SO VERY
TOTALLY what happened.
mircea_popescu: According
to
the FBI, Steve Schneider—Koresh's
top aide, who "probably realized he was dealing with a fraud"—shot and killed Koresh and
then killed himself with
the same gun.
ascii_field: i don't really distinguish
the quadripedal and bipedal rat
mircea_popescu: i sorta feel about
these like i imagine you feel about rats.
mircea_popescu: in any case, i know
that if it were possible
to never ever run into either an idiot or idiot droppings, i'd gladly carry cases for
the rest of my lives.
mircea_popescu: it's more complicated.
the benefits
that acrue from living in a sane society are not directly apparent in insanity-land. best one could
tell
the porter of 1950 was way happier
than
the bill de blasio of 2010.
ascii_field: i'm not sure
there ever were, or could be, more
than
two sides of
the menial labour counter
mircea_popescu: this is broadly missing
the point, because
the sides you'd know about pre aren't a good representation of
the sides
that actually exist post.
mircea_popescu: this is exactly like saying cca 1915
that "you don't expect
to ever live
to see computers and if you do you'll prolly be on
the side of polishing
the casings".
assbot: Logged on 30-09-2015 04:02:22; mircea_popescu: and
the entire society is organised around
this notion.
ascii_field: which is why usg is not considering what part of
texas
to bomb
today.
ascii_field: strong state does not degenerate
to a point where you can ask
this question.
mircea_popescu: this is universal. if
the hrt
team gets blown
to bits,
they run off. what fucking "aerial bombardment", you
think
that's how it goes, someone feels like it one day and
that's it, go ?
mircea_popescu: in any case, i have had opportunity
to
try
this in
the field : when i maneuvered
teh demonstrators around
the "security cordon",
they didn't do anything.
they fell back. cuz wtf were
they gonna do.
