mircea_popescu: decimation: my router bounces from telia to an isp in pheomix called "cwie llc"
<<< this sounds like a route hijack then. qntra is in amsterdam.
mircea_popescu: Adlai: now that's an interesting hypothesis to test: a bot lurks and tracks "shortest path" to each past message, then records when i link it as opposed to somebody else links it to me
<<< actually a reconstruction of the ba logs where lines are nodes and they're given pr as per original google mechanism may be the first step towards stemming this whole bundle.
mircea_popescu: Adlai: this roman doesn't seem to care much for his friends' feet. perhaps the shoe's pinch points would bother them too, if they were to walk long enough in the same shoes?
<<< you know your crowd-* obsession is at some level based on the fundamentally evil notion that people are interchangeable.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: except! in the case of the 1990s alt.tasteless 'golden turd award.'

<< as a military man, perhaps you are familiar with systems that could be automated easily, but aren't? e.g., ru nuke sub controls
Adlai:
https://pgp.mit.edu/pks/lookup?search=Adlai << so, while the current contributors' reasons for not using git[hub] are understandable, i'll leave this up and perhaps update it at my leisure, in case it'll be useful to anybody inhabiting a separate region on the paranoia/lazyness continuum

mircea_popescu:
<mircea_popescu> any computer program of which identifiable components can be unambiguously named is not capable of displaying AI.
