nubbins`: $5 says
they get someone else
to install it for em
decimation: note she won
the 0.1 btc lottery and apparently
thought
that nothing else would come of it
nubbins`: mircea_popescu email
the smartest journalist in .ar and
tell em youve got a bombshell, but
they need pgp
mircea_popescu: nubbins` btw, i am VERY suspect of people who claim
to "not be able
to figure it out".
mircea_popescu: but i suspect it comes with
three different
types of cherenkov effect
mircea_popescu: it boggles
the mind
to
try and imagine what
this
thing
that pays for
the divergence would look like,
nubbins`: asciilifeform iirc s
tried
to
teach greenwald gpg and he couldnt figure it out
decimation: at least
the lottery is voluntary wealth distribution
mircea_popescu: NOTEVEN DOOM MUSIC! in
the shape of government handouts
mircea_popescu: of course not! lottery is an entropic result!
thinkaboutit!!11
mircea_popescu: decimation and who's paying for
the divergence from
thermodynamics ?
mircea_popescu: or just some of
these clock punchers didn't get money for
their mortgage.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: If your shiva eyes/hands have
the
time
the citizenfour
thing doesn't actually promote
the innocence of any parties features, but clearly illustrates Greenwald's shitgnommery
mircea_popescu: but in general, given
the choice between "a flawed study few can recognise as flawed" and "no study", pseudo-scientists readily (and understandably, from a gt perspective) go for
the former.
mircea_popescu: lottery is just a very bad model for
this sort of research
decimation: it
turns out
that a poor bum who wins alot of money is still just a poor bum
decimation: "Overall, our findings suggest
that correlations observed in affluent, developed countries between (i) wealth and health or (ii) parental income and children’s outcomes do not reflect a causal effect of wealth."
mircea_popescu: lottery has nothing
to do with either income or wealth.
decimation: someone who wins
the swedish lottery could be a better person
decimation: ^ writing about winning
the swedish lottery
mircea_popescu: <BingoBoingo> <asciilifeform> does s ever -mention- pgp? << Snowden mentions GPG all of
the
time, Greenwald mentions
tor all of
the
time << exactly apt description.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> does s ever -mention- pgp? << Snowden mentions GPG all of
the
time, Greenwald mentions
tor all of
the
time
mircea_popescu: wife could stop being a fat bitch and husband could stop ejaculating early and watching
the game.
decimation: note
that snowden saw himself as far less inept
than his colleages, and he was probably right
decimation: but
the cactus seemed like a better option
decimation: usg could fire 90% of its staff, rationalize its
tax system, and start colonizing
the world
mircea_popescu: well sure, in
the sense someone raping himself with a cactus is "self-imposedly damaging his anus"
decimation: re: costs < yes, usg is cost constrained, but note
that nearly all of it is 'self-imposed damage'
decimation: he was 'promoted'
to a 'non-in-charge-of-life-and-death decisions' post
mircea_popescu: decimation let me guess, he
tried
to wreck by having
the
trains overloaded so
they will run
the
tracks down faster ?
mircea_popescu: yeah, because everyone likes
to say "present company excluded".
mircea_popescu: maddox's "dancing party"
thing much more adequate for
the demo.
decimation: the man has
the operational acumen of a wet noodle
mircea_popescu: (now,
that guardian has all
through had a very strong "dope it" agenda is
true, and quite visible
mircea_popescu: and most of
that is guardian rewriting what he actually said.
mircea_popescu: THIS is
the best angle for him being a conspiraci, a sort of mike hearn of
the cia.
jurov: mod6 ben_vulpes where will
the manual go? i can put a wiki somewhere
mircea_popescu: decimation if nothing else, he has done A LOT
to measure
the power of
the entire "crowd source" "power of
the people" etc
thing.
decimation: re: snowden etc. < I
think it's hilarious
that folks see conspiracy when redditard volunteer would do
mircea_popescu: prolly stuff in his manual as is closest
to what you want
mircea_popescu: TomServo sorta in
the middle here, we're just about
to have danielpbarron write a noobs manual
TomServo: there's been so many links flying around. What's
the quickest way
to defile one of
these after cracking it open?
TomServo: unfortunately due
to poor ebay skills my cp2102 arrive... 'sometime' in april
mircea_popescu: to my head,
the phrase aptly describes
that piece which goes "contains ad admixture of
true and
trite, but what isn't
trite also isn't
true"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform let me put it
this way : given a collection of dots, why would anyone care on
the graphs built upon
them by anyone not in
their wot ? you know
this guy ?
assbot: Logged on 26-03-2015 17:31:31; felipelalli: mircea_popescu:
thank you so much. But I guess
this is not
true on OTC WoT? Only in assbot, right?
assbot: Logged on 26-03-2015 17:25:05; asciilifeform: sachs also lists names,
times, places of folks 'suicided' by usg, with reasons.
mircea_popescu: the us has no friends
today, principally, because of snowden.
mircea_popescu: and for all
the "no lizard interest" high horse :
take
the cisco collapse.
mircea_popescu: i've not seen anything
this damaging
to
the us foreign interests in
the history of
the us.
assbot: Logged on 26-03-2015 17:23:52; nubbins`: anyway, you're correct in
that nothing leaked was particularly damaging
to
the lizards
mircea_popescu: this by definition :
the same
thing
that'd make you buy hisass (ie, his "personal brand") ensures he has an alternative, however minimal.
mircea_popescu: an old man is not going
to be a subsistence prostitute. ever.
mircea_popescu: sure, we could even argue
the collapse was inevitable, and while
the particular incident gives it flavour,
the us was going
to soviet union all over itself anyway.
mircea_popescu: "this bomb did nothing, inasmuch as it didn't bring down any of
the currently standing buildings"
assbot: Logged on 26-03-2015 17:21:02; asciilifeform:
that is, why not a single one of
the 'leaks' actually damaged any
tangible lizard interest
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> i
think he means 'he led
the nsa device catalogue leaker
to his anthill death' <<
The part of citizenfour filmed in Russia seems
to support
this hypothesis
mircea_popescu: heck, kakobrekla heard a mouthful over his "leading derps into
trying
to steal from other bettors" or what was it,
the bitbet scam
thing.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform at some point a decent argument will be constructable
that you "led" some idiot
to his death,
too. because you know, used cardano after
toasting it in pizza oven.
mircea_popescu: maybe
the real snowden is actually idiosyncratic. ya
think
this is possible ? "nobody did
this, except
this one guy, but he couldn't have done it because his behaviour is inconsistent"
