decimation: more like
the FCC makes rules, and
the EPA makes rules, etc
decimation: yeah, I agree
that's
the effect. furthermore,
those in real power use
the process as cover for
their own agendas
mircea_popescu: buncha people you vote for just so you can expect
things not of
this world.
mircea_popescu: why not have a democratic political class
to hate and despise ?
mircea_popescu: no, my point is
that it's easier
to give
the police guns and
then bitch when
they shoot
the wrong people
than you know, hold a gun and pick and choose. and similarly...
decimation: is your point
that it is easy
to hand out one mili-slice of power
to each sg citizen and leave it
to
them
to ruin
the place
than
to actually run it?
xinxiwang: who knows. if it’s
the
trend, nobody can stop it.
decimation: the chinese have lived under strong men, emperors and bureaucrats for
thousands of years. it would be better
to go with a winning formula
xinxiwang: Sg may fail
to incorporate
that kind of democracy as well.
xinxiwang: yeah,
Thai
tried western style of democracy but failed.
decimation: malaysia is kinda like
their ozarks I guess
xinxiwang: i’ve no idea about
that. maybe lky knows.
decimation: people in
the us have democracy, it's not great.
the people should be happy with
the lee family
decimation: surely
the 'mandate of heaven' still smiles upon singapore?
xinxiwang: many don’t like. but since
the family is doing quite well. people still accep
that.
decimation: xinxiwang: do people in sg generally like
the way
the lee family have been running
things?
mircea_popescu: decimation yeah,
the same
thing;s been said in spanish about
the english lol
BingoBoingo: Guurkahs are pretty much
the default neutral people, because... Nepal is poor and isolated.
decimation: well, certainly
turkic highland folk from
the west are not
to be
trusted...
xinxiwang: given
that
the majority are chinese people. I don’t
think people from other races can be neutral here.
decimation:
http://sgforums.com/forums/10/topics/303042 << "It has been said
that during
the Falklands War, 400 miles east of
Terra Del Fuego, or Cape Horn, South America in
the Atlantic, after
the Gurkhas landed, it was sufficient for
the RAF
to drop leaflets over enemy Argentine positions, merely saying
that
the Gurkhas have landed and are sharpening
their Kukris, for
the conscript Argentine army
to flee for
their lives."
decimation: aren't chinese a big part of
the sg population now?
xinxiwang: they should bring people from china
to do
that.
decimation: because both sides
thought
that
the gurkhas were 1.) hardcore and 2.) neutral
decimation: yeah
they were brought in
to break up
the racial riots in
the 60's
decimation: I guess I
take it by your questions
that
the answer is 'no'
kakobrekla: yes it has
to be annoying so people see it. now im off.
joecool: luke should
talk more,
that's always entertaining
joecool: mircea_popescu: it doesn't matter
too much
though, i like
this channel
decimation: asciilifeform: maybe you can do aes on it and
try
to use a microphone
to do side-channel
decimation: asciilifeform: how did get from 'working
ttl serial port'
to running bootrom?
BingoBoingo: Would be much better if included random kako jokes. kako jokes are
the best
joecool: mircea_popescu: sry,
thought you maintained assbot... i'll bug kakobrekla when he's around
decimation: of course
there is a small cottage industry selling reversed parts
mircea_popescu: joecool i dun has anything
to do with it, but kakobrekla might be able
to help.
joecool: hey mp, can you make assbot only use notices instead of msg? I know
the ddos is a pain in
the ass but if someone is unlikely
to respond
to notice,
they are unlikely
to respond
to privmsg as well
mircea_popescu: basically,
they made a ruling for a purpose.
then industry lobbied on
the basis of cost.
decimation: this is literally
the bread-and-butter of
the usg regime
decimation: that uses a unique coupling
to
the intentional radiator shall be considered sufficient
to comply with
the provisions of
this section."
decimation: well, I'm certain
that some organ of usg would claim victory under such conditions
mircea_popescu: for instance :
through a surgical intervention mandatory in schools for girls aged 12,
they could reverse
the asshole and vulvar opening.
decimation: there are many such capitulations
to reality involved with usg 'regulation'
decimation: but it 'satisfies' usg requirements
to make it 'difficult'
mircea_popescu: srsly, you can't plug it in because it's reverse
threaded ?!
decimation: asciilifeform:
they
throw in
trash and burn more money
decimation: asciilifeform: was
there actually a serial console present or was it a bootloader?
decimation: the FCC demands
that you reverse
thread
the connector so you couldn't plug your 1 watt router into a 30 dB amplifier
decimation: connectors. You will also find reverse, or left-handed
thread versions of N, SMA and
TNC connectors."
decimation:
http://www.rfcoaxconnectors.com/Technical_wifi-interface.htm << "In addition
to specialized interfaces which are relatively new
to
the coaxial market, such as DMX, MC Card, MHF,
there are variations on standard RF connectors styles which satisfy FCC Part 15 and 802.11 requirements.
The most popular method used
to achieve compliance has been
to create reverse polarity, or gender, versions of BNC, MCX, MMCX, N, SMA, SMB, SSMB and
TNC
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Still only solves
the antenna rather
than sanity problem
decimation: everyone can
tell
themselves
that
they couldn't possibly buy a reverse-thread sma connector
BingoBoingo: the internal mini-pci-e deal with
the adorable micro-coax or whatever
they call it
decimation: yes, but
the fig leaf
that covers
this is
that
they are
typically 'reverse
threaded' from
the standard socket
BingoBoingo: <decimation> asciilifeform:
the FCC cracks down on routers with an easily accessible antenna socket << What, like my laptop wifi card has??
decimation: for fear
that 'citizens' might make use of
them in a way
they see fit
decimation: asciilifeform:
the FCC cracks down on routers with an easily accessible antenna socket
decimation: only need
to have antenna outside, and maybe only partially
that
BingoBoingo imagines if asciilifeform became diabetic he'd keep his own pig for
the insulin.
decimation: yeah
there's no way it could pass class B without a shield or metal case
mircea_popescu: they'd love
to, of course, for
the obvious reason. unsheathe
that.
BingoBoingo: Isn't off
topic what's been sustaining it
these last few years, and even off
topic still makes a case for loper
mircea_popescu: off-topic is an idiocy anyway. you're writing it, you're
the
topic, how
the fuck could it be "off-topic"
mircea_popescu: i'd rather read it on your platform
than on some bezzlatron platform. is
that so bad ?
mircea_popescu: gernika not just, but sure. also, i don't care about form. if meditation works all
the better.
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> ^ mr. o is 'having problems' ? << maybe he got made, and so now
teh fsb is no longer interested in what was a marginal asset anyway ?
gernika: mircea_popescu are you referring
to logical fallacies by 'modes of logical failure'? Also, by learning
to control your emtions, I assume you don't mean learning
to meditate.
