anyway, more generally, the idea that "the people" are some sort of thing,
and to be catered to, IS the fungus.

mircea_popescu:
anyway, re the naggum quote above : a better statement would be to say that every problem comes with an iq functional which could be approximated as a (x-fiq)^3 + b(x-fiq) ; the a, b
and fiq are parameters of the problem, the x is where the solver's iq goes. if his iq is lower than the fiq required by the problem, his "work" comes out negative.
mircea_popescu:
anyway -- an alien problem is a problem with a banal retrospective solution that doesn't exist. it works well for fiction, where one can say "
and on planet x, people all walked with their nose in a clothespin, then our hero came in, told them to ditch the clothespins,
AND THEREFORE WAS A HERO.
AND IS!" ie, establishing shot.
mircea_popescu: phf
and when did the ustard female fall into this "everything exists to justify itself to me" trap
anyway ? dude! if you're under 30 nobody's going to seek you out to explain lengthy explanation to obtain your permission, what the holy fuck omfg!
mircea_popescu:
anyway. the attempted de-speakabilization of the item previously discussed as "spread your legs

anyway, i had no idea anyone actually read bobbitt. for the sake of likbezing -- the last gasp of the western academic tradition (rip 1999, "bologna declaration") was this pile of cvasi-blog publications, trying to bring together what (scant) was left of scholarly knowledge
and the limited forms of public consumption still vaguely functional. they're rather immediately evident for their structure, reference tree, even the tit

trinque: which is where I got to "concatenate whole cppwad

mircea_popescu: nobody asks this ; but

mircea_popescu:
anyway, back to the upstack, the "science tries to [...] silence all hedonistic
and rebellious dissent against it" nonsense is a sad misread of history by people who really should know better. yes it's true that for a while scientists were also puritans, as a religious inclination.
mircea_popescu:

anyway, the point re "it's unfortunate that open ended terms, such as one's own life,
and other things, end up quite closed termed in the end" is sound. yes it's quite unfortunate,
and rather regrettable. nevertheless, it's how it goes ; if i knew better in feb 2016 i'd have said "this'll be open for a coupla years". as it happens, i didn't know any better in 2016.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
anyway, so check out imperial poverty. manafort dude has "homes" ie real estate picassos worth maybe 11mn
and loans outstanding worth 12 ? so he is "rich" because he's in the red 1e6 as opposed to poorer plebs only allowed in the red 1e4 or 1e5 ?

gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform
anyway I respond it'll boil down to "gut instinct".
And that's fine, because we've all got different T levels, peni lengths, brain structures, heights
and this determines what you're up for / can do.
diana_coman: yeah, I just can't see the "logic" in that "definition" but not really expecting it by now

and the final round key. The final block of output isn't a problem for encryption operations — it is ciphertext, which we can assume has leaked
anyway — but for encryption an AES-128 key can be computed from the final round key,
and for decryption the final round key is the AES-128 key. (For AES

anyway, in spite of an inability to speak in public, or to make sense, extemporaneously or not, ceausescu was a major player in the status quo of 70s
