mircea_popescu: i doubt the form works in anything but ru and like, japanese.

mircea_popescu: unless im missing something this captures the structure (for teh reasons stated above). am i missing something ?

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform and i don't get it, gotta be a cool guy to fight with fire ?

mircea_popescu: i guess it was, at that.

mircea_popescu: i doubt anyone gives a shit.

mircea_popescu: ie, "if you want to carry ton of earth i can show you how to do so with buckets" yes ty, but ideally do so with ton-sized bucket.

mircea_popescu: i can certainly see that argument.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i'm not going to burden the minigame dev with implementing two of these nosnenses in the first pass.

mircea_popescu: i suppose could implement 512 byte camellia...

mircea_popescu: in other items of republican interest : eulora is at a stage where we have to set down what we'll use for sensitive data encryption (such as for instance the privkey files). i don't particularily wish to use aes ; anyone wants to contribute to this emerging spec ? ☟︎

mircea_popescu: in other news, did i mention the splendid lebanese restaurant here ?

mircea_popescu: i believe

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i dun recall thewhet ever beinbg ddosed.

mircea_popescu: "nevermind what ~I~'m doing with a machine gun in school. i'm fucking curious what dad's gonna do with a violin at the congress."

mircea_popescu: "In a 2008 interview, Schenker added "We would never again do something like this".[11] The band's former lead guitarist Uli Jon Roth notes that the cover art of the "old Scorpion albums" were "usually done by other people".[10] He has since expressed regret over the original album cover: Looking at that picture today makes me cringe. It was done in the worst possible taste. Back then I was too immature to see that." and bull

mircea_popescu: i dunno, they had a thing going in the 80s, most all of the slowly-irrelevantizing bands of "classic rock" put out pre-fuck chick covers.

mircea_popescu: so i've been for the past 15 minutes reading about the problems of poor people. jesus christ who even gives a twinkling fuck.

mircea_popescu: i like how the zebra has a shooster of its own.

mircea_popescu: whatever, i do what i want.

mircea_popescu: i don't go to school and i kill people.

mircea_popescu: anyway, i would expect "his interest in russia" dates from the 90s, back when he was a 39 yo bachelor "looking to expand his dating horizons"

mircea_popescu: i fucking hate fucktards who post web quality pics with "by random schmuky hipster" bylines.

mircea_popescu: but let's talk instead of what proof i have that the proof there displayed is proving anything, amirite.

mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo i have nfi, apparently the idiotreich by now imagines i have to make the case, not it.

mircea_popescu: oh i see, "conspiracy theories" is it.

mircea_popescu: i think the evolution of the usg reclaimation of their own buterin waterfals is well documented by now, it's always the same thing.

mircea_popescu: yes, but see, two points i wish to make here :

mircea_popescu: anyway, to underscore : i don't mean "cultural degradation" in some kind of paseist "o woe, things used to be great". no. rather, things used to suck and it finally became obvious what the problem is exactly. and as luck usually has it in such contexts, first you gotta throw out all the babies with all the bathwaters, then draw new baths, make new babies...

mircea_popescu: i would say it is inconceivable.

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-16#1725827 << in fact this is the very substance of the argument : because of the immense inertia involved, it is "safe" to have children spawned by the idiots. the large numbers of non-idiots or should i say not-specifically-selected-for-idiocy antecessors will slowly filter back out, so you get something for nothing. ☝︎

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-16#1725828 << but i am saying that we're very much forced to it by lack of workable alternative. ☝︎

mircea_popescu: i'm not proposing you seriously entertain the model, ☟︎

mircea_popescu: quite, i have no intention to defend that polyp of insanity.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform how am i to be a wild-eyed reformer seeing prophetically into the great future when you keep bringing these pesky details to show just how fragile the whole edifice is!

mircea_popescu: i don't see any of them here, is the logic, so they were gassed at 0 cost.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i am persuaded this is not so. let's revisit the discussion of the HUGENESS of the genetic reservoir, like in http://btcbase.org/log/2017-09-18#1715655 ☝︎

mircea_popescu: i'd much rather have a flock of girls spawned by the common man who despise their stupid mothers ; than a flock of girls spawned by whatever set of bio-selected women however you care to select them.

mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo i would be surprised if there wasn't somewhere in teh walls of supersekrit beijing a document describing how creating an equivalent of the north atlantic in the south china sea is a fundamental chinese military/strategic goal for the year 2030.

mircea_popescu: same way i can own a thousand car fleet notwithstanding the "1000 car" has not yet been built.

mircea_popescu: not what i said.

mircea_popescu: i have nfi what you're saying.

mircea_popescu: i can't even claim that much. irresponsible enough to even know there was anything to doubt.

mircea_popescu: eh why the hell not, apparently i'm untouchable. cleopatra-as-isis has been reborn in me and no mortal hand can harm such a one or how did it go.

mircea_popescu: i think this now qualifies as the superlative bender, retrospectively.

mircea_popescu: aaand in other nacht und nebel, i find this morning that yesterday i went skinny dipping a few kilometers off costa rica's principal concentration of crocodylus acutus.

mircea_popescu: and i am starting to see the point of us military strategists a lot clearer thjan i ever did these days. just because the chinese got together a bunch of rockets doesn't automatically mean anything.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the point here is that it's not a system. i suspect it's a stock. it's something of the nature of the servant and his tribe, not something of the manner of the servant and its tribe. ☟︎

mircea_popescu: as i sure as fuck don't have the energy to dribble personally into each one,.

mircea_popescu: EXCEPT!!! you see, except the serbs were never this fuckign stupid. i'm not even sure how to qualify it, but there's a substantial difference between the two items.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i think "everything" as we understand it stopped working there cca 1900.

mircea_popescu: i'd much appreciate a thorough challenge of this point, it's mindboggling.

mircea_popescu: i am satisfied they had NO FUCKING IDEA what the usg was.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i went for various baths of essernce d'subnormal these past days. most heads don't fit anything whatsoever.

mircea_popescu: ftr i don't accept that "proven".
