nubbins`: still following
the guy w/
the vodka
undata: nor
that legitimacy is
the question
undata: I don't know
that stealing shit is any less legitimate
than burning cop cars
undata: seems it doesn't matter precisely what "demonstrators" do, so long as
they "demonstrate" disorder
nubbins`: drunk man with bottle of absolut heading
to scene
undata: they're going
to milk
the shit out of
that burning car picture

third law: "The simplest way
to explain
the behavior of any bureaucratic organization is

the rediculous helicopters are amusing

decimation: mircea_popescu:
that's 'fraternization'
mircea_popescu: kinda like
that guy in prison
that had
the guards
tattooed and whatnot
mircea_popescu: honestly,
the only appeal i see
to a life in
the military is having a bunch of sex slave commanding officers.
Vexual: nubs: on
the satin black its remenicent of leatherbound
BingoBoingo: Also
they used
the retreat word on
the radio
decimation: yeah. In china,
there's more of a "the boss can profit if
the project works" mentality I am
told
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i don't get
this. what exactly about being a rabid slut makes a woman unfit
to command ?
mircea_popescu: decimation but if
they were corruption, it'd be cheaper.
decimation: mircea_popescu: except legally
those actions were 'not corrupt'
mircea_popescu: excellent example of why corruption is not
the worst problem in a state.
mircea_popescu: [The
two Democratic fundraisers
that Obama attended brought in roughly $3.5 million (source). So it would have been far cheaper for
taxpayers if Obama had stayed in Washington and
the U.S.
Treasury had written a $3.5 million check
to
the Democratic Party.]
decimation: asciilifeform:
that might be
true
today, but at
the current
trajectory (when
the females are all in management) will it be
true in 20 years?
Vexual: thats
that pussy pink inkl you never bought
Vexual: I don't suppose
they mean
to say
the girls aren't allowed
to be as strong as
the men
mircea_popescu: then look how
the shoulders and arms look of a (always
titless) woman
that can do 11
mircea_popescu: decimation
this makes sense. do
the experiment yourself, make juciy ass 21yo chicks do chinups.
decimation: excellent" rating; just one chin-up is enough for her
to avoid
the disqualifying "very poor" rating."

mircea_popescu: but, anyway, let anyone fighting a war fight it
the way he deems most convenient, who am i
to intercede.
mircea_popescu: if his brain is not functioning you need not pay attention
to him.
mircea_popescu: man is given voice
to hide his
thoughts. your enemy is not
to be
trusted. why would you
trust x
thing he's SAYING ? sure, maybe it's
true, maybe it doesn't realise you're listening. after you use it, he will. if he's
too stupid
to, you won't need it anyway. if you need it, you probably should not be fighting anyway.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform let me articulate my objection better, out of respect for
the attention it's getting.
Vexual: thats some art of war stuff
there ascii
decimation: asciilifeform: good point, in order
to coordinate bureaucratically one nearly always must have enemy agents 'in
the loop'
mircea_popescu: maybe i'm
too used
to running campaigns where
the "enemy" can't even muster
the courage
to use its materiel.
decimation: a military of conscripts has
the benefit of 1.) cannon fodder and 2.) actual people
that can be sorted into leadership
decimation: mircea_popescu: I agree with you. one of
the downfalls of
the us is
the large standing army of volunteers
mircea_popescu: i confess i don't believe in
this jit style of military operations.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform if you're down
to finding out about
this
trhough its own radio chatter...
decimation: asciilifeform: you can see
the self-licking ice cream cone here
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller well
they must do something at some point...
decimation: one could re-interpret
the entire military-industrial-intel complex as a giant ego-trip
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: i
thought flies spawned and didn't actually fuck
mircea_popescu: all
this of course presupposes anyone gives a shit as
to what fbi agents say
to each other.,
ben_vulpes: the donkey kong is strong with
this one
decimation: and
the dunning-kruger effect is strong
decimation: good crypto is really hard
to implement
mircea_popescu: decimation if you
think
the shocking stupidity of people like "silk road operators" occurs in a vacuum, let me remind you of
the special agent
that solved
the case by excel spreadsheet.
mircea_popescu: breakage of a cypher
that resists
to 2**39
time costs roughly speaking a satoshi.
mircea_popescu: decimation just
trying
to put in perspective
the "time" in academic crypto paper.

mircea_popescu: 3TH/s means, for
the record, at something like 150 "times" per hash,
that
the bitcoin network does ~2**50
time as-is.
Vexual: and
they get shitty when it doesn't work and go back
to analogue uhf
decimation: ie
the fact
that non-technical cops are going
to have
to actually use
them
decimation: but
the point is
the weakness isn't
the crypto, it's probably all
the other stuff mircea_popescu +
that paper mentioned
