mircea_popescu: if you're definition of a nation is a language then you're very much not talking of the same thing as in the case of best korea.
mircea_popescu: i'm certainly no product of a (wholly imaginary) romanian "nation".
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform just because the ustard is a sad excuse for monkey nation does not imply we'll now accept the turd soup of "nations" does it ?
mircea_popescu: i suppose the commie dorks forgot what all happened to the guys hitler's sa practiced on.
mircea_popescu: from experience it always works out to "we'll link up to protect our stupidity in a group of idiots"
mircea_popescu: you know, just like the usg wouldn't sell it anything but the dregs for a century.
mircea_popescu: not like china believes in free market in the sense of selling you anything but the dregs.
mircea_popescu: hence the earlier comment re "buy ssds whole they still exist"
mircea_popescu: eh amnd what's that gonna do. bl;ow up a parking lot ?
mircea_popescu: if anyone "uses" one there'll be auto-allocated responsibiolity. just like in the case of assad.
mircea_popescu: i dunno, don't ask me, there's a reason i don't try to run a geostate.
mircea_popescu: it ain't ever getting sold because it's more valuable as a tool to control the children than it'd ever fetch on the market.
mircea_popescu: nobody ever will. nukes are a unique item that a) doesn't work and b) everyone thinks it does. it's the exact equivalent of the "valuable inheritance".
mircea_popescu: if china decides to annex korea, both of them, who's gonna say anything ?
mircea_popescu: honestly i'd rather trust a gaggle of ghana street urchins than us state to achieve anything.
mircea_popescu: usg has a lenghty history of monumentally inept intl politics
mircea_popescu: it still enjoys a lot of support among ~300 million moral idiots without any sort of conscience.
mircea_popescu: this is rather likely true ; if it is by far the best strategy for the terrorist state involved is to publish nothing and yak loudly.
mircea_popescu: the syrian story is the rebels were stockpiling it and it broke out once bombed.
mircea_popescu: somehow they're also insulated from the "isn't it strange, you seerm to know what you're ostensibly not knowing" problem. through wishing they were, because that works irl!!1
mircea_popescu: mats or perhaps more properly put, "anti-known", in the sense the tards pretend not to know.
mircea_popescu: no idea why the rgb lagged sum should fail. would have to read the code.
mircea_popescu: lol the 4-5 places where dieharder reports weakness prolly need some review of dieharder code. anyone feel like emailing the maintainers ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform incidentally in the same vein : everyone's probably familiar with the electronic muscle contractors from forced orgasm / workout footage. but the equivalent item excists as detector not efectuator. put on girl, fuck her, voila. "this is the key of your passion, honey."
mircea_popescu: no i mean, it copuld be in sf world the case that cocaine has K in it and nothing else does or w/e such sane reason.
mircea_popescu: it's so sad and unfortunate it's kcl and not say cocaine.
mircea_popescu: "how to turn bed, bath and beyond into a reliable supplier of uranium pellets" by alf the beedog.
mircea_popescu: im sending the nuclear waste crew towards end of april ?
mircea_popescu: you can prolly find it if you care to run a netstat or such
mircea_popescu: anyway, i expect whoever is trying to make botnet via ssh bruteforce uses these via whatever pore ; pw changhe won't do much.
mircea_popescu: pretty sure if you go offline for 2-3 days google drops the listing
mircea_popescu: i have this cicada on the wall sounding exactly like my fan is going out on the wind-up phase.
mircea_popescu: anyway, to round up the previous thread : do not imagine you can enact yourself through saying. that magic dun work here.
mircea_popescu: did i mention i am having a very excellent time reading trilema logs ? because i am.
mircea_popescu: yes, and every day of your life you are struggling against it.
mircea_popescu: this is what the piece of paper certifies. "person is to a large degree wilfully blind to sense to satisfy imperial conventions."
mircea_popescu: because how would they ? physical existence is racist.
mircea_popescu: which goes to prove the point. no speech, no existence.
mircea_popescu: much like "the color red" is an ulterior construction on photon interaction
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform but that's a later reinterpretation of the fgundamental "gotta say unsaid things to exist"
mircea_popescu: plenty of them emit "sdflkgkljerytuio ewaoeru oi2ew" and the spellcheker turns that into words
mircea_popescu: it's a random phenomenon, same root as brownian motion.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it needn't explain that. your physics dun explain why some K sits, some emits beta and some emits gamma.
mircea_popescu: it's what drives nubbins to nubbins, and all of these sad souls generally to wikipedia edit, quora answer etc.
mircea_popescu: for reasons of abhoring vacuum. the ethereum thing WAS ALREADY SAID, they can't count by saying it. the bitbet nonsense -- not so.
mircea_popescu: note, for extra lulz, that they are STILL "disagreeing" with "mp raped ethereum", no matter how well established that is. even as they are pushing the "mp stole from bitbet", no matter how ridoinculously unsupportable thart one is. why is this ?
mircea_popescu: anyway. this is what i currently use to epxlain random string production, like "motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/the-large-bitcoin-collider-is-generating-trillions-of-keys-and-breaking-into-wallets" or like
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-04-14#1643409 or everything in between
☝︎ mircea_popescu: asciilifeform vice is literally, precisely and exactly a google spam device, like taboola or whatever.
mircea_popescu: consequently, vice finds it +ev in those terms to maintain an item spuriously named "motherboard" in which to publish stuff like "the wallet collider consisting of a guy plucking wings off flies and dropping the maimed insect carcasses on his exposed glans penis."
mircea_popescu: as there's no OTHER dampener of the existence points outside of this scheme, you are guaranteed that in a flat world all the things will be said (and none of the things will be listened to)
mircea_popescu: either say something that's not in the list and get the points for existence found in the saying ; or say something already on the list, for less points.
mircea_popescu: given the list of all the things that have been said already (this is really a tree, but in his perspective it's flattened into a list by nulling out all the values associated with the string nodes), his choice is :
