asciilifeform: theoretically, but you have to build'em a nunnery
mircea_popescu: i wonder wtf it is, you'd expect they be better than men, generally speaking.
asciilifeform: on either side of the atlantic.
asciilifeform: this among other reasons is why there are no women near interesting secrets.
mircea_popescu: you'd think they'd learn women do not belong at state.
mircea_popescu: incidentally - every time they let a woman near secrets it blew up. there's rice. there's nuland. there's clinton. that's almost all of them.
mircea_popescu: your argument was to the name, i delivered the name. it's unsalvageable.
asciilifeform: all you found was a run-down 'wine-making branch of the family' rothchild
mircea_popescu: we had this with rockefellers in camps, you are barred from using the line ever again.
mircea_popescu: i mean it's just as ex post facto as previously, you just hid it under a rug. srsly, "chewed at straps" ? you just call it that retrospectively.
asciilifeform: chewed at the straps - no.
mircea_popescu: how come the woman can lose state secrets via inept emailing, and is ok, the guy can't talk to some random socially-acceptable whore
mircea_popescu: too much ex post facto in this. kennedy yes, nixon no, clinton yes, petreus no, etc.
mircea_popescu: no fucking idea who'd even want to fuck them, that broken.
asciilifeform: their 'don't count' works in the same way as in all times and places. kennedies can gf after gf, and no one indicts, corzine et al can steal $maxint, etc.
mircea_popescu: anyway, what i question is, the imbecile adolescent population that is not hard at work breaking the society they live in.
mircea_popescu: yes, it's probable they'd come up with some sort of "doesn't count", but should be fun to see nevertheless.
asciilifeform: wake me up when the pots of oil are boiling and the tickets are on sale
mircea_popescu: and besides, who cares abnout eiother of these two. you just taker the whole plum book and execute it all.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform why not ? there's a complaint, there'sd proof. what else.
mircea_popescu: and on the balance of evidence, it's more likely the 17 yo in question have serious autism issues. because they similarly can't talk to girls and so forth.
asciilifeform: so let's see if i grok this, somebody is to indict, e.g., warren buffet, or clitler, over spam sent by some anonymous schmuck ?
mircea_popescu: so yes, we both see that this could readily be done, and we both see it's not done. i wonder in amazement, you posit a "because". i dun think your position's reasonable.
mircea_popescu: heck, the japanese even deployed them as a military weapon.
asciilifeform: actually the airplane bomb was abundantly obvious since when, 1944 ?
mircea_popescu: up to 2001 airplane bomb would have striken you idem
asciilifeform: the other thing being that somebody has to indict.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: but this scheme strikes me as far too obvious to be doable and not-yet-done.
mircea_popescu: so then why and wherefore!
mircea_popescu: when's the last time you spoke to a judge ?
mircea_popescu: wouldja stop presenting as fact things you have literally no idea about ?
BingoBoingo: Whatever Obama jacked off a fish on CNN, that's beastiality
asciilifeform: there will be no sorting, and no trials.
mircea_popescu: 100 * say 10k = 1mn counts for the system to sort through
mircea_popescu: step A. get list of phone numbers of everyone. step 2. get all the 100+ sluts you know taking nude pics of themselves. step 3. having same send said pics with appropriate text to the 1.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: you know full well the result, '17yo charged with self-exploitation and besmirching the honourable name of a servant of the crown'
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: how would that work ?
BingoBoingo: State court indictments are a pain, typically involve going to actual courthouse or subscribing to expensive service like Westlaw and praying they sent someone to the courthouse already.
mircea_popescu: i wish we had had something like this when i was a kid.
mircea_popescu: then filing complaints with the lot.
mircea_popescu: i dunno how one could be 17yo, a us citizen, and NOT sms nude pics of themselves to every single usg official in sighh
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Not that I've found yet
asciilifeform: does anyone have a link to the actual indictment ?
assbot: Logged on 05-03-2014 02:05:11; asciilifeform: 'american does not believe the man in the uniform to be a bandit, with whom one can come to an understanding. he believes him to be a robot, who must be feared. american law enforcers are able to, by pressing on the keyboard of a multitude of laws and regulations, 'transmute' the most insignificant peccadillo into a monstrous deed. FBI did not need to beat up Monica or toss into her purse heroin or am
asciilifeform: ’s the Kafka-esque nightmare in which Fayetteville-area high schooler Cormega Copening finds himself after exchanging private nude photos with his girlfriend—with whom he is legally allowed to have sex, but not to sext.' << gold.
asciilifeform: 'A North Carolina 17-year-old caught in a sexting scandal faces charges of sexually exploiting a minor that could land him in jail for up to 10 years, since the law considers him an adult. But one of the minors he supposedly exploited is himself­—which raises an obvious question: how can a teen be old enough to face adult felony charges, but not old enough to keep a nude picture of himself on his phone? Unfortunately, that
ben_vulpes: nobody is doing anything of 'actual worth' and 'much' is such a wishy-washy term that you can set the bar arbitrarily high.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: i'll bite. name anybody presently rolling in the vc megamillions while doing something of actual worth
assbot: Logged on 03-09-2015 03:05:07; asciilifeform: trinque: if you are not among the annointed
mircea_popescu: kinda how that cycle works.
pete_dushenski: "There are roughly 3 trillion trees on Earth — more than seven times the number previously estimated — according to a tally1 by an international team of scientists." << moar upward revisionism, except this kind is more butthurt for climate doomsdayists
BingoBoingo: Not one big thing, but a bunch of little things that are better recorded than not.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes that's complicated. but on the balance of it, too much fat makes you fat. which is problematic for the circulatory system
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: I just got a lot of momentum going these past couple days
pete_dushenski: BingoBoingo: lol hot damn i was *just* about to start writing up that sexting one. well snagged ! i'll be faster net time.
pete_dushenski: i admit i've only met two of them, a young couple at pre-natal class, perfectly pleasant really. he even wore a tallit around his waist
pete_dushenski: shinohai: are 'jews for jesus' actually that bad ?
deedbot-: [Qntra] British and North Carolina Teens Prosecuted as Child Pornographers in Separate Cases - http://qntra.net/2015/09/british-and-north-carolina-teens-prosecuted-as-child-pornographers-in-separate-cases/
thestringpuller: Paul Graham literally believes the best startups are ones that don't scale: "When I interviewed Mark Zuckerberg at Startup School, he said that while it was a lot of work creating course lists for each school, doing that made students feel the site was their natural home."
mircea_popescu: contact to ground was lost long enough, by the time graham's in outer space derping to himself about hyperbolics...
mircea_popescu: fluffypony the vc-derps are pretty much one track. they got one solution for all problems, which is proven to not work for any of them, and they';re sticking to it.
assbot: Logged on 03-09-2015 11:35:05; shinohai: My "hacks" were mostly to wiring and such. My mother, in her nasally Jewish voice, always swore I was going to "burn myself alive in my car"
assbot: Logged on 03-09-2015 02:47:29; mircea_popescu: trinque i'll give you an extra lol. recently the source of the "salt is bad mkay", ie the ustardemia, came out with an admission of the fraudulent nature of that entire swathe of "research". this however has not yet reached the latino "scientists" who mostly exist through translating things and pretending.
ben_vulpes: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=03-09-2015#1260745 << missed the boat on fats though ☝︎
fluffypony: cazalla: it's not even me, Africans don't want Bitcoin because they're quite happy dealing in cash and not paying tax ☟︎
cazalla: fluffypony, you don't want black africans to have bitcoin, you rascally racist
shinohai: They are like undertakers reading morning obituaries, hoping to find a failing economy to rescue.
shinohai: r/bitcoin wants to shove BTC down everyone's throat.
fluffypony: so I've literally been saying for ages that Africa is far from ready to "embrace" Bitcoin, and half the continent won't want it anyway, but nooooo, nobody listens to me, they all want to shovel Bitcoin down Africa's throat
BingoBoingo: https://www.insidehighered.com/quicktakes/2015/09/03/harvard-will-let-students-select-pronouns << Can't wait for the student who selects fuck, piss, shit, and cunt as their pronoun set
mircea_popescu: because hey, nothing beats living in TWO DIFFERENT parallel if entirely imaginary universes.
BingoBoingo: Just found it online searching the hotsheets.
mircea_popescu: this is so typical of fucktard on a mission. "science is bad mkay" except if anyone disagrees with "what is your degree".
mircea_popescu: phf i think 2/3 of the benefit regulars derive from being here is this sort of thing
phf: now that i verbalize it, it's totally a programmer rabbit hole, probably should've just fixed my monitor..
phf: i've over optimized in the direction of making kindle work for me, but it is like looking through peephole. i solve the whole branching problem by relying on their notes feature: whatever you select on kindle gets saved to a text file that gets copied into my notes during sync. correspondingly my article saving mechanism converts all links to title (url) form, so i can follow up when on desktop
mircea_popescu: it'd be expected that the central authority for communication and propaganda pumps out supporting evidence through its respective organs
mircea_popescu: anyway, as a rule of thumb, the bluer a light runs the cheaper it is and the shittier too. as phillips' been driving its crusade to replace all lights with shittier lights to complete the precious indications given at the 18th plenary of the permanent comission of the central committee of the economic planning bureau
mircea_popescu: joecool turns out people have very different tolerances to far-blue and UV. it's a function of the quality of filtering they got which is mostly genetics.
mircea_popescu: none of the bitches that tan are as alert as the bitches that don't.
kakobrekla: some go as far as to treat jetlag with that
joecool: overstimulation leads to fatigue/exhaustion sort of thing"
mircea_popescu: more alert and more tired correlate anyway
mircea_popescu: aha. blue is the fatiguer. and, of course, goes without saying, small fonts.
ascii_field: i tend to run even 'redder'
mircea_popescu: ascii_field this is a lg
mircea_popescu: the 6300K thing is WAY more important than anyone realises. and cutting down on the gamma helps loads.
ascii_field: but are more like the dial of a washing machine
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: unless you have a 'eizo' or 'barco', those numbers have very tenuous relation to physical reality
ascii_field: phf: what do you have that is readable without a backlight?
mircea_popescu: phf this screen rightnao i have at 6300K and 0.375 gamma
ascii_field: i'm pretty sure i have done this.
mircea_popescu: ok, ladies and gents, this here is what narcissism actually is, at its peak.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field wut ? i said that ?
assbot: Logged on 03-09-2015 20:28:51; trinque: seems you could draw us back into the middle east, meanwhile hit us economically like china seems to be doing, and that's it
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=03-09-2015#1261807 << once man starts thinking strategically, all sorts of patterns emerge huh ☝︎
assbot: Logged on 03-09-2015 22:33:16; mircea_popescu: ascii_field: they happily send their sons to army so they can 'die for a fat bitch's right to marry her dog' << wow. that, right there, is more valuable to orlov's employer than orlov's entire body of work to date. mebbe you get job offers nao.
ascii_field: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=03-09-2015#1261999 << l0l i stole the text from mircea_popescu ☝︎
