pete_dushenski: diana_coman: my take on the eu-ification and commie blockiness is the same and quite disjunct from the catholic era : it's that the latter day ("tomorrow is a latter day", anyone?) implementations are superficial and have no particular bearing in the locality. in the same way that having modern art and architecture looks identical worldwide is nauseating, so too is the token clean street in whatever

pete_dushenski: diana_coman: what's specifically 'eu' about the baltic, yugoslavian, romanian, what have you arrangements is that the fancy town squares and rebuilt castles were the bait and switch in exchange for monetary hegemony. there are exceedingly few examples of such peaceful expansion of territory in my historical memory banks (though i'm open to being disabused of this notion)
asciilifeform: speaking of baltic heroes, pete_dushenski will probably enjoy http://btcbase.org/log/2016-09-28#1549604 . ☝︎
pete_dushenski: diana_coman: it's true that the over-polished vilnius area is scarcely larger than a football pitch, but it's still a chunk of real estate devoid of the character of the rest of the country. eu-ification for all! rationalism uber alles! it's a shame, yes, but mostly for the inconsistently - the partial transplant - like the handsome black man with a single emaciated white arm surgically attached where his
diana_coman: heh, pete_dushenski have you been to some of the smaller/more provincial ones? Panevezys comes to mind, lol
diana_coman: is that kaunas, pete_dushenski ?
a111: Logged on 2016-09-28 15:08 mircea_popescu: dubious, because the "basic necessities" a la mchappy meal never needs to cost anything, which is why it's two dollars ; and actual food is already going into a spiral.
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: more like they finalyl made the http://btcbase.org/log/2016-09-28#1549705 scam into flight ☝︎
pete_dushenski: diana_coman: aha. i've heard similar horror stories and given that it'll be a family trip and that i'm NOTPOOR(tm)(r), i'll probably be looking at deals to the mainland and ~cost-effective~ proposals to the isles. the customer "service" and baggage issues that have been relayed to me previously were similarly cautionary.
diana_coman: fwiw pete_dushenski I flew with Ryanair and I would advise against them unless you are either a. desperate b. really curious of how a plane can feel like the old-times local bus for local peasants, chicken and other animals combined; they have the most obnoxious "service" I ever saw filled with loud and frequent "offers" to buy all sorts and *advertisement* in the cabin; not to mention interesting fees such as "fuel fee" (I wou

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i went around looking for 'bios reverser' sites, realized that the community of actual people actually working on subj -- at least in public -- has shrunk to the size of a walnut.
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: hm. on actually closer inspection, that thing's easier to parse if one reads till end of extract. one of the points is that the notion of female genital mutilation is used to represent african tribes etc. as inferior culturally, sexually, etc.; thesis seems to disagree with this portrayal of that tribal culture. this does indeed not sound original. but, i guess you're right, it's more like meh, and not a lol-worthy outrag
asciilifeform: actually this is one of the things that astonishes me about mircea_popescu
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i meant 'typical paper'
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: possibly. i simply have trouble with the limba de lemn , it is thick.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the orcs picked scarcity over ersatz.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: they have this strategy where all of the bid-up/sheepshaving happens in one particular racket, housing
asciilifeform: see mircea_popescu's old article where 'if i get a hundy, i get a hundy, but if everyone gets one - it is a disaster'
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it is far from watertight, but to the lobster trapped inside it may as well be.
a111: Logged on 2016-09-28 14:40 mircea_popescu: anyone willing to spend 1mn can have ~10k us registered businesses by friday sort of thing.

asciilifeform: '@Real_PeerReview highlighted more than 1,000 scholarly papers in four months. Many were essentially Mad Libs with various topics inserted between the phrases “whiteness,” “hegemony,” and the “patriarchy.”' << sop since '80s. it will die with usg and not before.

trinque: ben_vulpes: man, last job I had to interact with some guy who was doing a dissertation on... some python/postgresql CMS
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Nah. Boobs matter. Particular lives tend not to.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Not just theoretically. Just a challenge to get baby out.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: theoretically a ~very~ small balloon-launched rocket is orbitable.
mircea_popescu: I kinda giggled and said yeah. So after some hard thought planning I thought, "why not" and started to redraw my picture on windows paint, so I got my initial layout ready to post on i'ables, first here is picture of a model rocket I found online perhaps an ideal candidate for my fusilage design. ofcorse mine will have to be different,unique,personalized.

BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: alf's old rubles went through at least one official devaluation since his move
asciilifeform: funnily enough pete_dushenski i traded a bag of rubles for 1 usd as a boy.
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: Ironically the weather in Omsk seems to roughly mirror that of St Louis except the summer and winter extremes of temperature are still more extreme in Omsk
trinque: gabriel_laddel: ahoy!
BingoBoingo: gabriel_laddel: Perhaps set up a Climsten bot to ping yourself?
mircea_popescu: gabriel_laddel could possibly just set up a dinger

asciilifeform: this question does not, afaik, have an answer, mircea_popescu
asciilifeform: btw if mircea_popescu ONLY wants to give J' to his best friends, he can do that already via the otp he has with them.
asciilifeform: i get it, mircea_popescu reeeeeally loves the repudiability thing, but you gotta be careful not to make a cannon that shoots in ALL directions simultaneously. someone has to get privileged knowledge of the true J' or you are cryptodead.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: what means 'one message' ?
asciilifeform: recall, if rsa died, mircea_popescu cannot simply pgp the J' to his current circle of friends.
asciilifeform: this'd be handy if mircea_popescu had otp set up in advance with the people he intends to give the actual J' to
asciilifeform: how does mircea_popescu retain sole knowledge of the private key of J ?
mircea_popescu: then at t2+epsilon when i publish k you extract privkey.K from it and check that J was made by create-key(privkey.K_
asciilifeform: ok, can haz algo? i found a string J, which is a public key for an asymmetric cryptosystem, that purports to belong to mircea_popescu, and published after the rsacalypse. what do i do with it.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: but how do i verify that J belongs to mircea_popescu
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i get that part
asciilifeform: though i am still unclear on how mircea_popescu's verification works
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: here's the lethal boojum: enemy knows privkey.K at t2 and if he can get to his keyboard before you get to yours, you're dead
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: this works if your K is known in advance
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu et al : see if you can find a simpler variant.
rAISellers: mircea_popescu I think so, did not sync yet or something like that...
asciilifeform: what'll mircea_popescu do with folks who get phuctored ?
trinque: background cron that flips a "sent_to_phuctor" bit
trinque: mircea_popescu: yeah, I'll hammer that out momentarily
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: how's that work

asciilifeform: not an actual item i expect to find in mircea_popescu's closet if we go drinkin'
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: one dude who eats a beam can magnify, with passage of time and armchair, into 'many liquid corpses' etc.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: are you familiar with real-life neutron tube ? didja think it is ~directed~ ?!
asciilifeform: if he'd mentioned those, mircea_popescu would see it for the redmercury sprayjob it was.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: eh you're looking at the nato snow job
