mircea_popescu: but i would guess it's just some schmuck that realises he doesn't belong up there, and wants to move into a subordinate position in teh new republic. which... of course.
mircea_popescu: well what sort of q is that, without a sauce ?
BingoBoingo: Kind of sounds that way
punkman: is that like pre-emptive cocksucking to appease the pitchfork wielders?
punkman: "What nonsense this is. Am I really such a superior person? Do I belong at the center of the moral as well as economic universe? Do you?"
punkman: "The folks like us at the top have always told those at the bottom that our respective positions are righteous and good for all. Historically, we called that divine right."
BingoBoingo: Welcome back to -assets mircea_popescu, you missed potential tits from <msnaughtykitty> they should be back sometime soon

assbot: Bay Area inside trader, Winifred Jiau, convicted - SFGate
decimation: hey that's wall street's game (chinese woman spies) http://www.sfgate.com/business/article/Bay-Area-inside-trader-Winifred-Jiau-convicted-2367259.php
assbot: Chinese woman charged in trade secrets theft case - SFGate
asciilifeform: ;;later tell mircea_popescu http://www.sfgate.com/news/science/article/Chinese-woman-charged-in-trade-secrets-theft-case-5595772.php
decimation: if you just want to watch planes land, or trains go by, or boats sail past, like people over the centuries have done, you are suspicious
decimation: "why are you carrying a non-functional computer onto the airplane sir"? "because I want to use it for parts"
asciilifeform: usually it turns into a war on nail clippers, pocket knives, etc
decimation: my biggest objection to the security theater is that it always devolves into a war on anything unusual
asciilifeform: but this year, saw no such thing
asciilifeform: they used to actually search people at the checkpoints
decimation: or the "checkpoints"
asciilifeform: if you can stomach the 'sardine can' trains
asciilifeform: you can still come and go to the mall on the 4th
decimation: Back then you could also freely come and go to the mall during the 4th
decimation: I recall (in the 90's!) when you could walk into the capitol any time you wished with a metal detector screen
asciilifeform: not on any semblance of parade, but just for 'security theatre'
asciilifeform: funny thing is, they trot out these ancient trucks every year
decimation: walking around DC during a "crisis" always turns up interesting bits of security hardware
decimation: oh I meant the truck in the picture, not the one you were offered
asciilifeform: that one, if it wasn't clear, was spotted in the wild.
asciilifeform: decimation: it was the same kind - but not the particular truck pictured in the linked photo
decimation: but it does reveal many truths about the way USG actually works, rather than the way everyone pretend it works
asciilifeform: next to garbage trucks, buses, tractors, etc.
decimation: it was probably some junk in the DC armory that they parked somewhere "for security" or whatever
asciilifeform: but there it was.
asciilifeform: plus i have no real use for such a thing
decimation: heh that too
asciilifeform: (realized that it would be ruinously expensive to fuel.)
decimation: you would probably have to pay golden toliet prices for the parts
decimation: wrt to the HMMWV: you were able to buy the whole truck for $700? Or just the radio?
asciilifeform: some of these are very stable (if it survives your metabolic paths, it will probably survive the treatment plant)
decimation: yeah, mostly that plus some industrial stuff
decimation: there were many strange organics that were hardly attenuated by the "purification" process
decimation: there was a TV show where they sampled the Potomac water going into the washington water system intake, and then sampled it going out
asciilifeform: an outage that lasts a week or so is not 'zombie apocalypse' - however, any longer and you learn things like http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=27-06-2014#735017 ☝︎
decimation: I asked if their plan was to simply wait until everyone forgets about the situation and do nothing, and he confirmed that was the case
decimation: I had a discussion with a guy who was high up in PEPCO once about the "mass panic" after the power outages after the "derecho" storm
asciilifeform: funny part is, the net pipe is really the only thing around here that actually works as advertised. the mains, water, sewer - i had detectable problems with. the fiber - never.
decimation: mainly because I am unwilling to hand verizon or comcast a single penny if I can avoid it
decimation: it's nice to have the peak capacity when you want it though
asciilifeform: decimation: in these parts, the multiplexers are nailed to poles.
decimation: I think the fios is actually time-multiplexed at the box in the ground near your house somewhere
asciilifeform: decimation: you can buy pretty much arbitrary bandwidth from them, the physical connection (fiber) is all the same.
decimation: asciilifeform : based on your hostname I assume you have a comcast "business" account to get 100 meg
BingoBoingo: dub: Funny how this works? Most "Bitcoin Journalism" being carried out by either Butthurt creditors or soon to be Butthurt creditors.
dub: BingoBoingo: I like how the journalist is a butthurt creditor too
artifexd: It isn't that I think Brazil is a better team. They're not. I think the refs are paid off.
artifexd: I don't think Germany will pass Brazil. I'd like to see Germany win, but I doubt it.
cazalla: i bet no a few times but it's still a chance if it's a Germany v Argentina final, which is my guess
artifexd: Messi (Argentina) is still playing and has 4 as well. But in order for 905 to resolve as yes, one of them will have to score another 4 goals. Unlikely, in my opinion.

artifexd: The current high scorer is James Rodriguez with 6 goals. He played for Colombia who is now out. The next is Muller from Germany with 4. They're playing Brazil next.
