pankkake: I hope government agents have more
talent
nubbins`: is
that an article about people leaving "-10 scammer faggot" ratings on -otc? ;D
pankkake: the schneier proposal was so…
tame. almost sounded like politicians creating commissions
to solve problems
ozbot: How Covert Agents Infiltrate
the Internet
to Manipulate, Deceive, and Destroy Reputations -
The Inte
nubbins`: and vladivostok is a LONG
train ride from moscow & st petersburg
mircea_popescu: russia is very badly landlocked,
they can't survive without ports.
Duffer1 will
try
to remember
to read linked article first next
time
Duffer1: i don't see why
they would do
that unless
they're planning an invasion or reinstallation of Yanuk
cazalla: going
to bed, give me something good
to read with morning coffee :)
nubbins`: i'll be close
to brussels
this summer
cazalla: heh Invasion day,
that's what
they call Australia Day although I prefer
to call it Conquerors Day
ozbot: Bay of Pigs Invasion - Wikipedia,
the free encyclopedia
cazalla: at least in
the aus bank case
cazalla: lead
to
that after reading
the CIA rumoured
to have run a bank here in Australia

mircea_popescu: notwithstanding
that russia didn't send any
tanks in
the ukraine, either
mircea_popescu: no because
the standard magically is "the us never sent
tanks
there"
Duffer1: at least, closer
to physical home
than iraq
Duffer1: mircea_popescu@Mircea_Popescu
This is pretty well equally
true of
the US. >>> Cuba is a great example
to offer
Duffer1: "Kremlin's jealous & intolerant eye can distinguish only vassals & enemies; neighbors, if
they dont wish 2 be one, must be
the other”-Kennan
mircea_popescu: like you know, having your idiocy made a point of public mockery in
the forum is immediate license
to disengage and pretent like you were slighted
mircea_popescu: and now he's going
to be upset because i called him a weasel
mircea_popescu: @Mircea_Popescu Yes, it borders on
the US province of Iraq. You may wish
to drop
the weasel act, we're adults, we can see
through bs.
mircea_popescu: @SpiegelPeter Is Syria a neighbour of
the US? You may want
to re-read original Kennan quote.
nubbins`: he doesn't recall
the usa and canada being at war?
mircea_popescu: @SpiegelPeter I don't recall US ever sending
tanks into Canada. Does chasing Pancho Villa = Hungary 1956, Prague 1968, Afghanistan 1979?
mircea_popescu: @Mircea_Popescu
This is pretty well equally
true of
the US.
The EU is one of
the few sane players and
the US press is slamming
them for it
mircea_popescu: @SpiegelPeter · 2h "Kremlin's jealous & intolerant eye can distinguish only vassals & enemies; neighbors, if
they dont wish 2 be one, must be
the other”-Kennan
mircea_popescu: well obviously all
the nonsense barrage was destined
to help
them fuck some more noobs over.
cazalla: didn't mention it
though until people pointed it out asking wtf
cazalla: they added all
their privately held shares
to havelock
the other week
mircea_popescu: like say
the misadventures of
those pretend-gambling guys mpoe-pr laid into a week ago
nubbins`: curious
to see what 2-bit idiot has
to say about his redactions
mircea_popescu: i wonder generally how many people realise
that stupendously stupid "pr" actually has a marked negative cost
mircea_popescu: i hope shrem hit him over
the head because had he stfu i'd have not said anything either.
ozbot: Twitter / Mircea_Popescu: "And
thought he knew better." ...
nubbins`: parts of
the bible are factual.
cazalla: but parts of
the document are factual nubbins`
nubbins`: next
thing ya know gox decides "well, now's as good a
time as any"
nubbins`: mircea_popescu
that's why
the whole
thing is so curious
cazalla: the re-branding etc, shrem confirmed he knew of
this weeks ago
nubbins`: what do you mean, gave?
the numbers don't even add up
cazalla: if it was fake, who gave him
the legit information
to mix with his bs?
mircea_popescu: fucking hell i can read
the original
THROUGH
the blackl
nubbins`: of course none of
the news articles mentioning selkis
talk about
this
nubbins`: the pdf software he did
the fake redactions in put his fucking name on
them
mircea_popescu: so
this guy is going
to be forever remembered as
the pdf highlights
tard ?
nubbins`: because it says so in
the file
nubbins`: selkis is
the "blogger" who "leaked"
the document.
cazalla: maybe he was asked
to redact it by whoever gave it
to him
to leak because if it was given
to potential investors,
they might not want
the financials out
there
mircea_popescu: nubbins` point in case as
to
the "we don't deserve
to run a business"
thing
nubbins`: black highlights added
to
the pdf by selkis himself
mircea_popescu: not proposing any of
the foregoing as factual or anything, merely exploring
teh
theory of it.
nubbins`: mircea_popescu:
the redactions were black highlights. you could copypasta
them.
nubbins`: why would you redact a bunch of numbers on a document about a failing exchange -- a document
that you're releasing
nubbins`: sure, so why did
this selkis guy decide
to redact page 8?
cazalla: yes but shrem and levine from LTB confirmed
they knew some of what is in
the pdf is factual prior
to it being leaked
nubbins`: who's going
to draft an internal memo
that flatly states "we don't deserve
to run a business"?
cazalla: nubbins` are you sure it's fake, shrem suggested it might have been karpeles partner who drafted it due
to poor english
nubbins`: just so happens
that he faked
the doc at a
time when everybody was ready
to accept a poor fake as legit
nubbins`: wanted
to make a name for himself, and it worked. associated press splashed his name across
the globe
nubbins`: mildly surprised anyone believed
that was a legit doc
nubbins`: "In
the chat, Karpeles says
the leaked document was not produced by Mt. Gox, but he admits
that
there is some
truth
to it."
mircea_popescu: four is an odd number of arms for a man
to have,
the only both odd and even number is infinity
nubbins`: why do you
think he was so short!
mircea_popescu: the
thought process being, napoleon was a great general, great generals are forewarned, being forewarned is like having an extra pair of arms,
mircea_popescu: they let it run overnight, among
the conclusions it had arrived
to by morning was "napoleon had an infinite number of arms"
☟︎ mircea_popescu: "at mit,
they made
this self-learning machine which would
try
to make deductions sylogistically on a dictionary of natural language constructs
mircea_popescu: nubbins` btw, you know
the "great generals" machine learning fiasco ?
nubbins`: "statement
two: some cats dig my music"
nubbins`: one day (this was a logic course),
the poor guy (ancient chinese man) was dreaming up an example for some logical fallacy
mircea_popescu: i always respected
that guy. occasionally obnoxious but he had what you'd need from a rector : fucking rectitude.
