mircea_popescu: asciilifeform "carly fiorina, the feminist imbecile (but we repeat ourselves) that burned the life's work of the two tech pioneers to the ground is not being held for questioning over the fire."

mircea_popescu: 8kton / 6 cat diesels worth 34mw. pretty decent item, per se. sadly, argentines.
mircea_popescu: but i'm not about to sit here and believe the washington post matters politically or some such nonsense, am i.
mircea_popescu: there's no credible source as to how the whole nixon impeachment thing was entirely over people pissed off at vietnam, either.
mircea_popescu: "general knowledge of they in the know" is the best i can do for sourcing. how do you know "how things were" ?
mircea_popescu: there's an all-important difference between fancy and overfancy.
mircea_popescu: but meanwhile, there's cosubstantial problems preventing BOTH lobes of that conditional.
mircea_popescu: in short, if the math grad students who didn't get tenure ever take over a country, ima be careful about liposoluble tritium tissue markers when visiting.
mircea_popescu: and that reason is exactly excision of this kind of nonsense, as there exemplified.
mircea_popescu: there's a reason my rewrite doesn't feel like rolling through crusty sheets permeated by bum scent.
mircea_popescu: it was a bowl of spaghetti very specific to a sort of mind, the math grad student let's say.
mircea_popescu: you recall the wankery i took out of luminous in its ascension towards superluminous, with the "toxic blood" that then got retconned into "platonic paramour for some reason got the same brand so i can keep hoping because she cares about this but there's no cuckolding undertone here" ?
mircea_popescu: ie, let alone fired in field -- nobody knew the latch is a trigger, either.

mircea_popescu: all sorts of things existed quietly for varying lengths of time.
mircea_popescu: the problem in theory of knowledge / history of science is not existence but comprehension.
mircea_popescu: well, an exageration, but the point remains. alien can always land and go "hey, why don't you knot your shoes LIKE THIS ?" "fuck, it never occured." "idiots."
mircea_popescu: we're talking specifically anachronistic-minded science-fanfic.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i've also never driven a car with my own hands.
mircea_popescu: this is known from legal practice, man comes to argue thing he has read in the law. meanwhile courts, in their attempt to emulate life, work by legal practice not by legal textbook.

mircea_popescu: if they're eating from the palm of your hand thusly, why are you inept enough to need to kill them.

☟︎ mircea_popescu: contrary to the aspirations of the anachronistic-minded science-fanfic author/consumer, the 1970s enjoyed 1970s tech ; and 1970s 2nd world shitholes (ie, the soviet bloc) enjoyed 1950s techs as a baseline. or as ceausescu's main tech theft guy said, "they'll sell us yesterday's technology for today's money, but what can you do."
mircea_popescu: and re ceausescu's "cancer weapon", it was pure and simple radithor ; cleverly "codenamed" "radu".
☟︎ mircea_popescu: for all the difference it makes you don't even have to host them live, dump them locally whenever you feel like.

mircea_popescu: fucking put a carnival in the middle of the historic town, buncha retarded gypos.
mircea_popescu: at first some stress testing will surely be welcome ; but on the long term can't flood trinque with 1 satoshi bills.
mircea_popescu: lobbes you can also collate all these, only invoice > x sum for each user. you already have the infrastructure for that from auctions anyway.
