BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> me
to colleague: 'mac has
to be good for... something?' him: 'take it
to
the range, it'll make good
target' << 9" model and .22 LR makes a nice pop when phosphors are
too faded
adlai: (not yet convinced
that real numbers 'exist' outside of
theory and approximations)
mircea_popescu: worst fucking idea ever. but it's so much like "progress", and "what
the consumers should come
to expect"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you know, people have been
trained
to believe in
this "upgrade and everything's gonna be better" mantra.
BingoBoingo: * adlai hasn't seen mention of
transrationals yet in
the
thread, just
thinking of dimension changes << Aleph progresses in cardenality up
through ALeph sub aleph
adlai hasn't seen mention of
transrationals yet in
the
thread, just
thinking of dimension changes
assbot: It's not
the sauce, it's
the poultry and other metamathematical considerations pe
Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu. ... (
http://bit.ly/1DKl6TD )
mircea_popescu: a fine example of "teachning kids math = making kids unable
to understand math"
mircea_popescu: true
that
this is
the pedestrrian definition given in school
adlai is still
trying
to get over
the amazement
that
there's
the 'same number' of rationals and complexes
mircea_popescu: cast down
the heretic adlai, he means
to leaven our numbers!
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Actual line from
text you
though worthy of offering a solution
to: "Currently she was being referred
to as
the Sparkly Unicorn Princess of
the Noble and Most Ancient House of Sparklypoo."
adlai: concatenation doesn't work, you need
to interleave
BingoBoingo: Are we sure
the fanfic propaganda guy isn't a
teen girl "As it
turned out, nobody had worked out
that her challenging Neville
to a Most Ancient Duel meant
that she liked him. She'd
thought it would be obvious but no, nobody else had even
thought of
that apparently."
adlai: uncompressed ECDSA key = (x,y) on
the curve; compressed = a single number
that can have
the coordinates extracted from it, because
the lines described by
the range of compressed keys each intersect
the [top half of
the] curve at one point
adlai: eg, "compressed ECDSA key" is pretty much
the same general idea as
the proof
that
there are 'as many' rational numbers as integers
adlai: mircea_popescu: it gets better when you realize
that even everypair's a number
BingoBoingo: <adlai> slightly related, friend who worked one of
those shit-selling carts in a canadian mall, hocking 'Dead Sea' products, got asked by a straight-faced mark: "isn't
that where captain jack sparrow was from?" << At our local malls
those were all hookers at
the carts
BingoBoingo working on
that since I can't code for shit
adlai: slightly related, friend who worked one of
those shit-selling carts in a canadian mall, hocking 'Dead Sea' products, got asked by a straight-faced mark: "isn't
that where captain jack sparrow was from?"
decimation: it's hard
to say, because who can divine
the intent of usg?
mircea_popescu: the common law has some categories.
there's robbery, with violence.
there's
theft, without violence but with
the knowledge of
the victim.
there's fraud, without
the initial knowledge of
the victim.
there's embezzelment, where
the victim isn't a person per se. and
there's defalcation, which is merely negligent or reckless, rather
than intentional.
BingoBoingo: adlai: Modern Israel is nothing more or less
than
the average middle west resident imagines gryffindor
to be
adlai isn't sure whether BingoBoingo is
talking about geopolitics, ideology, or some mix of
them; and
to what degree
trolling/mockery is distinguishable from his own actual opinions/beliefs
BingoBoingo: adlai: You are kinda in
the USian ideology
testlab. sounds dangerous
decimation: mircea_popescu:
the meating of usary has changed over
the ages
mircea_popescu: the us fed is just about ready
to implement
the ancient christian venice.
adlai: BingoBoingo: i've lost
track of
the snowden's of yesteryear
assbot: Logged on 04-03-2015 03:22:22; decimation: I also
think
the fiat machine
that enables mass
theft from everyone's savings is a form of usary
adlai: but
this is not even his final form! beware platypus-hitler
assbot: Logged on 04-03-2015 03:15:38; *: BingoBoingo is dissapoint in
this fanfic/propaganda piece. Halfway
through and no fucking?
BingoBoingo: adlai: Snowden successfully contacted Poitras first. More
than a year after attempting Greenwald
the frist
time. Not sure, but second snowden seemed
to contact Greenwald while snowden1 in Moscow. Disappeared.
decimation: at any rate, I don't
think poitras or greenwald have enough of a clue
to move a person of interest across borders
adlai wonders how much longer
the business model of leak-digestion will survive, before leakers just... leak
decimation: snowden might have contacted wikileaks acting as a foil for
the russian security services
BingoBoingo: decimation: I mean Petraeus was on
track
to be
the next
two
term president following Obola based on his opposition
to Obola which would have followed both without consequence
adlai recalls some mention of poitras being contacted first, but read
this in an interview with her and only her
adlai: or one from
the wrong set from
the set of sets of journalists
BingoBoingo: Film was ambiguous, but leaned
towards greenwald having been contacted first.
assbot: Logged on 04-03-2015 03:00:58; *: BingoBoingo remembers in early 2012 before scandal Petraeus being floated as a more serious
threat
to Obola
than Congress
BingoBoingo: Snowden2
though contacted
the wrong one of
the set of journalists first and was quieted.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform more studies needed,
this is
the controversy, progress and change, all sortsa gunk.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu:
Thar she does, but snowden was compelled
to "prison rules"
mircea_popescu: she has
that vibe.
the female equivalent of
the male creep.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: But you haven't even heard
the loving narration.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo i muchly doubt anyone ever fucked
the poitras chick.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: No greenwald loves
the cock.
Talking likely Snowden Poitras affair
mircea_popescu: the usg essentially consists of
this : "instead of doing anything, why not sit on your ass and ruminate
the future ?"
decimation: asciilifeform:
they would see
themselves as reformers
mircea_popescu: adlai all
this "evangelist" bs.
they should just hire linda for an evening's outcall and stfu already.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform meta-people, basically. unable
to act because stuck pondering implications as a passtime.
BingoBoingo: decimation: May also be infered from film
that he prolly fucked
the Poitras chick
to here positive reception
mircea_popescu: decimation nope. understand : when usg wants
to impress me it's stuck prosecuting derps like shrem.
decimation: BingoBoingo: it's pretty obvious
that snowden got 'help' from somebody
adlai mourns
the pun's sad lonely death
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Maybe have one of
the more socially perceptive girls screen
the citizenfour
thing
to see if it is worthy of your eyes. Nothing about it suggest weakening opsec in
the slightest. Just do
they get
the same Greenwald was
the snitch vibe
that I did.
decimation: ultimately, snowden's downfall is
that he's a libertard, and
that by 'creating a conversation' or 'raising awareness' he can accomplishing anything is a fallacy
adlai guesses
that $censored_guild has set
the bar rather low...
mircea_popescu: he
thinks his life is a life, and his woman a woman, and so on and so forth
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform why do you
think
the idiocy of a bureaucrat is remarkable
to any degree ?
BingoBoingo: decimation: Media sensation part seem sto mostly have been an asbestos jacket. He seems, if film was honest
to know it was a life shortening ploy, but less so
than what manning did.
adlai: asciilifeform:
the convenience of pgp with all
the
trustlessness of ssl!
decimation: BingoBoingo: snowden seems
to be 5% 'whistleblower' and 95% 'media sensation'
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Aha
they
took reop as is... Even with
the part where it only exists as a "go"
turd
adlai: gabriel_laddel: i was just
trying
to show off more l1sp.org features
BingoBoingo: decimation: Snowden is still you enough for an Anerican
to be angry about his circumstances of origin. Provided
the documentary interviews actually involved him he seemed personally slighted
that his HK room hotel phone listened.
adlai: tlsnotary [purports
to let you]*, (but
they seem
to know what
they're doing, as far as i can
tell)
adlai: tlsnotary lets you
turn any bank with functional online services into
the fiat side of a wot-based exchange
