a111: Logged on 2016-10-16 14:50 asciilifeform: why not natural cover, e.g., bottom of
a lake.
mircea_popescu: and of course the shitstain has
a wikipedia page. because wikipedia is not for commercial advertising of utterly irrelevant mfa sites.
mircea_popescu: especially when involved are total scamsites with the dating gimmick. here's
a newsflash : the only reason these exist is because the owners are working an angle.
mircea_popescu: since when the fuck can "investigation" on the basis of words be
a cause of action in the first fucking place.
a111: Logged on 2016-10-16 12:48 mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski i expect she hates him which is how she got to be
a nanny in canada in the first place. "he gets in way of unipolar us world!!" in alt-statement.
pete_dushenski:
http://btcbase.org/log/2016-10-16#1555875 << possible she hates him, possible she's less than familiar with him other than third-hand via fambly back home. she left the country close to
a decade ago, worked in electronics assembly in korea, then nanny in singapore and hk before landing here
a few months ago.
☝︎ mircea_popescu: and in the bad news department, even handgun fire will cut through six inches of brick.
a proper assault rifle with AP round will do what, two walls and
a sheet of steel.
mircea_popescu: tomorrow, you build
a six inch brick encasement. the extra heat load due to the added insulation is, say, 50 MW.
mircea_popescu: take the matter in the following terms : today you have 10k transformers, doing stepping of 1TW each for
a loss of 1MW each. these 10 GJ are being pumped into the atmosphere.
mircea_popescu: it's like
a power of 2.5 or some shit to your disadvantage.
mircea_popescu: doesn't scale worth
a shit either. spend 10k to encase it in metal shell, gunman spends $20 extra for his bullet, you're back to leaking. spend 1mn to encase the shell in brick, gunman spends $500 extra on ordnance you're back to leaking.
mircea_popescu: for this and many other reasons "civilisation" is
a self limiting disease.
mircea_popescu: brick won't do much. all guy has to do is fire
a grenade first.
mircea_popescu: in any case there's jack shit they can do, "physical security" my foot. the radiators are big by necessity,
a hole anywhere counts as
a score as much as any other hole anywhere, dude could take them out with
a decent scoped rifle from
a mile away
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> then for another thing, the mechanism. it's so neatly stupid, with its strict content-and-label disparity, like
a retarded kid trying to invent "his own" geography, calling all the items in common geography by different names and that's it. << Just like Elliot!!!

mircea_popescu: for one thing, all their inept rags try to paint russia as
a "local power at best", "gdp" of italy bla bla. how, then, is this magical thing possible where they decide who wins the fucking election ? obviously the libtard has
a reputation for dealing well with cognitive dissonance, but that they'd prefer this nonsense to actually naming the rapist makes you think they liked the tiny, slanted cock.
mircea_popescu: somehow i tohught he was there for
a while, but he was just mayor
BingoBoingo: Eh, came over
a few months ago is still teenaged.

http://archive.is/UTpV0 << "In 2013 the Philippines opened
a case under UNCLOS against China. In
a ruling handed down on July 12,
a tribunal ruled in favor of the Philippines and rejected China’s sweeping claims, invalidating the nine-dash line. Filipinos celebrated—but by that time Duterte was in power.
pete_dushenski: "Some have called Beijing’s strategy in the South China Sea “salami slicing,” or taking many small, incremental actions, none of which is on its own dramatic enough to provoke
a response, but that over time lead to
a strategic advantage. Scarborough Shoal was one of the larger slices it’s taken in recent years. Thanks to Duterte, it looks set to get away with it—and to be rewarded for acting
rarepepeforever: I'll be back in
a few days after I make the card and get it certified. Then you can have 333 if you wish.
rarepepeforever: I mean who buys
a pizza card for 5,000,000 (was worth $200 at the time) simply because I put that it is worth 10,000,000 on the card :)
rarepepeforever: do you have
a preferred photo? i'm happy to work on the card and send you 1/3 of the supply

a tournament or anything ?
mircea_popescu: what sense does it make to have "gini coeficients" for individual data in
a series ? gini coeficient is calculated over the entire series neh ?
mircea_popescu: rarepepeforever what is this thing ? like
a trading card game ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform nah, iirc 30 seconds during superbowl (ie, most expensive) is like
a coupla mil.
pete_dushenski: all these years i'd mistaken tyga for 'lil chuckee' on 'ym salute'. turns out i can't name
a single tyga track after all. such impact.
pete_dushenski: tyga basically stands out for being the tall skinny childish looking one and not
a whole lot else besides
a111: Logged on 2016-10-15 18:27 mircea_popescu: in other shock-lulz from the other side : there's
a douche calls himself "tyga", who being black and vapid is evidently "
a rapper". while going out with some underage runt in the kardashian litter, he also had
a child with
a stripper with the innovative and revolutionary name of "blac chyna" ; who meanwhile dumped him and is going with some dude named rob kardashian, who also impregnated her. so in
a decade or so, the best re
mircea_popescu: "wtf, someone read trilema while riding
a fuck machine???" "ah no, that's an ancient pda platform. from like 1996."
BingoBoingo: !~later tell thestringpuller If you really want
a chance to do some work, you could do
a breakout Xtend on the whole Chinese RMB situation
BingoBoingo: Anyways if there's ever
a candidate for taking away all colors but 2, its Rodham-Clinton
mircea_popescu: Blockchain.info is blaming their recent downtime on
a DNS attack against their registrar. << that part is correct ; mitm tried and mostly failed.
mircea_popescu: watch it sell for ~1.5mn in
a whilrwind romance deal like slashdot.

☟︎ mircea_popescu: nobody buys any fish. not ever. not
a shrimp, not
a file, nothing.
mircea_popescu: so there's
a fish shop nearby ; pretty well stocked. and it's always jam packed with people.
BingoBoingo: The whore wife series was
a nice change of pace
mircea_popescu: i dunno dood, this "take teh colors away" sounds
a lot like grinch on steroids.
BingoBoingo: Bah, I'm surprised you haven't though to take away every color but two yellows for some time as
a sort of punishment.
mircea_popescu: am i going to link to your meltdown re stacking consumers
a few months ago or what.
mircea_popescu: because you know, calling your jewish friend to fire the hot black cashier so she has nowhere to turn and therefore has to suck your cock for
a living is racism
mircea_popescu: bout same thing, kid's taking
a few classes in some community college, buncha ranking university lizzards keep calling the people there to "express concern".
mats: the us is
a nice place, i wonder what bits will get carved out for .cn colonies
a111: Logged on 2016-10-15 04:51 mircea_popescu: anyway, since we're on it : remember when the us had to bomb its intel depot / "embassy" in baghdad ? it came with
a ~230 mn bill for gear, that was never reported. there's going to be another 50 ? 60 ? 100 mn worth of destroyed expensive gear in mosul. once you start adding all these up, the "misplaced" pentagon money suddenly catches
a very different light.
mircea_popescu: anyway, it's pretty evident russia is pivoting from syria to
a iraq spur via turkey. so yeah, sure, whatever, bazaar al-asado won't be there forever.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: (haider al-abadi being the us appointed pm of iraq for
a coupla years now.)

☟︎ mircea_popescu: if the usg-sponsored "social sciences" weren't
a pile of crap, someone'd have already written it.
mircea_popescu:
a monography of the continuity of this particular statal fraud in the us, from lincoln's shipping of hopeful imigrants to die in his war to obama's shipping of hopeful 2nd rate citizens to die in his war should be written.
mircea_popescu: us army ? what army. there's no soldiers there, just
a bunch of defrauded kids.
mircea_popescu: incidentally, the whole "trick some poor kids who want
a chance of escaping their ghetto and figure "schooling" is the ticket into getting maimed in some desert" is pretty fucking scandalous.
mircea_popescu: well, you know. iran is like 1.5mn sqkm or such ? add afghanistan, turkmenistan,
a coupla smaller ones, another million, add syria, iraq, egypt what hve you another million...

http://archive.is/8Qzdr << '"He turned sideways to be sure that we would see that he has an open carry gun, which is legal, and is fine, but it's intimidating," she said. Parks said that his firearm is legal, and that he had no ill intention by carrying it. "We're not
a threat to anybody, the only threat is ignorance, and ignorance breeds fear," he said.' << trump supporters edging closer to openly gunning
mircea_popescu: (guess based on the observation that much as was the case in medieval warfare (among people disinclined to fight, such as italians), the arabs arrived at
a courtier's agreement as to what constitutes "sufficient honorable defense".)
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo lol at usg online redo of tikrit offensive. lemme guess, they got
a bunch of merceniaries
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: it's
a mac thing needed to run alf's dieharder tests.
thestringpuller: Didn't realize how easy it is to connect to IRC via sockets. Far simpler than HTTP by
a long shot...
mircea_popescu: overheard in my room : "ehm... that must've been
a happy man..."
mircea_popescu: in other early christian obscura : the 6th bishop of antioch (teofil, dead by 200) wrote
a book "To Autolickus".
mircea_popescu: shinohai hey,
a micropenis is
a micropenis, whether flying or just buzzed.
mircea_popescu: lol they even got
a tall young chick to go towel-naked in their thing ? someone's seriously dedicated to these stilted coffins.
mircea_popescu: fun fact : 1492 (expulsion of jews from spain and discovery of america) was year 7000 ; drove
a buncha people wild.
shinohai: its
