BingoBoingo: In other delusionism http://www.phnompenhpost.com/national/government-aligned-fresh-news-seemingly-bludgeon-ruling-party << "Seemingly based on little more than innocuous Facebook photos, the dire warnings of conspiracy and "colour revolution"" << Hazards of allowing pantsuits a press
mircea_popescu: she's a fucking workout trainer, but whatevers, can be anything amirite.

asciilifeform: ( does mircea_popescu much hang out with folx who see mouse as man ? it isn't a thing that'd normally occur to asciilifeform , say . where does he get the vegetarians )
asciilifeform: q is whether elliot is mouse, not whether mouse is a man
mircea_popescu: only things that will hate, which is to say, punish you in this game for your misbehaviour in previous games, can possibly be protected by a law.
mircea_popescu: if the item will not play over multiple meets, it is not a subject of legal protection.
mircea_popescu: nah, mouse had a much flatter problem.
mircea_popescu: besides, there's a reason young males are the expendable biomass in all sexuate species.
mircea_popescu: to elaine, the city is a paramount construction, which is why it was the first invention. this is not avoidable. as it happens, elliot to date hasn't well figured out ways to destroy the city.

mircea_popescu: how useful atomic detonation is against a jet, remains dubious.
mircea_popescu: anyway, the point being that many unsurmontable tech problems of the 1940s are hardly worth the mention today. "it's called a servo, duh" etc.
mircea_popescu: i've no idea, i never worked on a nuclear bomb.
mircea_popescu: anyway, re the broader point : if you say one middle class individual couldn't, in his spare time and with his spare cash build a thermonuclear weapon during his lifetime starting 1980, you may be true.
mircea_popescu: much like "how big should a pixel be". it works for them to make bombs a certain size, so that's the size "bombs must be"
asciilifeform: the one of the few interesting claims - 'A D-T boosted, fractional crit A-bomb could use reactor-grade (25% Pu240) plutonium, instead of the normal 5.5% Pu240 Weapons-Grade Pu, with no degradation of yield.'

BingoBoingo: "Hun Sen in his speech also lashed out at the supposed hypocrisy of the international community, which he maligned for having previously recognised at the UN the murderous Khmer Rouge – to which he once belonged – only to condemn him now for the arrest of a purported traitor. “I only enforce the existing law,” the premier said. "Why can I not [punish treason]? I don’t do it for my own life, but for the happiness of the whole co

mircea_popescu: do you think a child who lived with wolves to age 9 would be more difficult to teach creative writing to than a child who lived with wolves to age 2 ?
mircea_popescu: and as a side-point to all of this : there's about 155 tons of gold in the world. this means that any female past the 19`405`500th is actually inflationary.
mircea_popescu: if you're poor, you're not white. if you're a cuck, you're not white. if you've got money and guts, you'll be white no matter what. othello is my witness.
asciilifeform: i seem to recall a mircea_popescu article re old white chixen in egypt
mircea_popescu: whiteness is not a matter of skin color.
asciilifeform: wouldja stick it in a darfour, mircea_popescu ? srsly ?
mircea_popescu: today, same as what it was back when you could buy croatian virgins in the 90s, same as it was back when you could buy twelve year olds directly from the un peacekept darfour, the exact fucking same as what it'd have cost to buy a gypsy girl in 1800s bucharest, or 1600s charlottesville, or for fucks sake, in 200 ad rome :
mircea_popescu: let me tell you then : a few hundred dollars.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform do you know what the price of a woman UNDER TWENTY is in the meat trade ?
asciilifeform: iirc there was a photo, she was serviceable
mircea_popescu: this shithead actually imagines not that she has a market value above 0, but that she has a value above 0 in all markets!
mircea_popescu: otherwise, "When you fly into NYC from anywhere and land at any of our major airports, it is always shocking how rundown our airports are, just like our subways, in a city that is the epicenter of the world. Every major industry has a foothold here. Watching the rise of homeless on the street and seeing the earth be very angry from hurricanes to earthquakes to fires, just makes me feel extremely unsettled and worried about
mircea_popescu: this is all about as retarded as the average alt-scam. "here's a grainy pic of some dudes holding aks and random tattoo squiggles, send $$$ to this address."

mircea_popescu: all i get is a wikipedia page.
mircea_popescu: what should i google to be a spy too ?
mircea_popescu: the true lulz begins however when one digs into wtf is this shit, and discovers that out of google's 255.8 mn keywords (really ? how the fuck, they've one page they publish bad atari porn on) we share 56 ; whereas out of facebook's 63.9 mn (really ? the place where everyone goes to spew has less diversity than google by a factor of 4 ?!) we share... 13.
mircea_popescu: somehow, they don't perceive the need to PROOVE today, preferably before this court, that they aren't a scam and have some value.
mircea_popescu: https://elaineou.com/2015/10/28/startup-self-immolation/ << remember 2013 ? back when dimon had the unmitigated audacity to claim bitcoin is "a scam" and "has no value" while providing "Banking services" and a hiring pool to the likes of ycombinator, and other such scams with no value ?
asciilifeform: whoever was paid to write this item, must've had a real riot of a time.
asciilifeform: 'Anyone can break up a showing of an enemy propaganda film by putting two or three dozen large moths in a paper bag.

mimisbrunnr: Logged on 2017-10-04 02:45 trinque: there's the usual stream of backups; as for bus factor, machine-wise the strategy is ever-easier deploys. in regards to my own pulse, was thinking of giving ben_vulpes a holler, so might as well bring it up now.

trinque: I'm a stubborn bastard, dead or not.
mircea_popescu: then again, i would also really hate fucking with a man's work ; so find something that works for you while it doesn't expose us to that downside.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform but note that the evan spiegel response is not "so ? do you have a sister ?" but "oh im so ashamed of having pissed into lilly's butt-mouth"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the object of the anal child is to prove to the world that there is no such thing as his father taking him behind the shed and killingh him with a blunt shovel.

mircea_popescu: "oh, property is not a fundamental right ; but not forcing randos to give it away to our friends may create problems of a most ethereal nature!!11"
mircea_popescu: "Our intention is to patrol the cull zones and using Cree LED torches and noise disrupt the illegal shooting of badgers, We will assume that all shooting is illegal until we have been notified by a government body that a farm is licensed.

mircea_popescu: well this was a 2012 item
mircea_popescu: the TWIST however, is that the bad guys (uk govt) are trying to protect not "officials" but private individuals, from a crazed online campaign by the usual pantsuit. at stakle is the culling of badgers, which are common pests, and as animals have no rights.
mircea_popescu: and in other lulz, "That’s not very nice. Studies have shown that female leaders are less ego-driven and more risk-averse than men. So a woman-led corporation may be less likely to take over the world, but also less likely to go the way of Enron."
mircea_popescu: again and again it goes back to that http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-03#1719978 ; for as long as you read beobachter it will be a case that groupon is a great victory of socialism and nobody heard of http://btcbase.org/log/2014-08-27#811981 ☝︎☝︎

mircea_popescu: speaking of which : reflections in a golden eye feature the harlot a) naked b) talking hardcore bdsm with an even more potato-y than usual brando and c) engaging in some public caning
mircea_popescu: in other lulz, anyone familiar with the early anti-pot hearst smear campaigns ? (1930s). it's a long string of, basically, "do you want your daugther sucking mexican cock ? and corrupting her sister to participate in wild orgies? ?!?! !!?!?!? "
asciilifeform: ( enemy still dun get to address it, because that's the whole point of the glass, to make the 'you get 1 bit at a time' thing happen )
