asciilifeform: source of lulz -- http://dyspepsiageneration.com << somebody invite him over ?

asciilifeform: didjaknow.

asciilifeform: in yet-other, lulzier-yet lulz, https://archive.is/wRzSJ >> 'Trayvon Martin, the Florida teenager whose shooting death by a neighbourhood watch volunteer in 2012 prompted a national debate over racial profiling and civil rights, will be awarded a posthumous university degree in aeronautical science that reflects the 17-year-old’s dream of becoming a pilot before he was killed.' ☟︎

asciilifeform: i for one have nfi why anybody at this point would want to 'experience american', rather than run as fast as his legs would carry him, in opposite direction. ☟︎

asciilifeform: as for 'experience american', there are all kinds of insane folx, there are even people who go to chernobyl to experience .

asciilifeform: i have nfi presently what their mcdonalds looks like.

asciilifeform: fr, it turned out, was to be eaten by halifate, not usa.

asciilifeform: only a question of time.

asciilifeform: if there's a mcshitfood in the place, it extends.

asciilifeform: in orlol's words, 'human-lite' ☟︎

asciilifeform: just mcculture instead.

asciilifeform: no culture to sit on.

asciilifeform: phf`: this'd likewise describe ~all of 'white' world at this point.

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-08#1653582 << speaking of, e.g., sending children to a white school costing $mil or moar, etc ☝︎

asciilifeform: in other noose, latest fg orders shipped.

asciilifeform: and it ain't of the africans.

asciilifeform: there's only 1 genocide going in usa nao.

asciilifeform: lolwat genocide. i went to annapolis , mega-rich ~100%-of-visible-people white and yacht-riding. walked by a school yard -- guess what, 100% dark faces.

asciilifeform: alternative is, yes, insect life.

asciilifeform: it's how working organizations -- work.

asciilifeform: phf`: i dun see any respectable alternative to fuhrerprinzip.

asciilifeform: 'buck stops here', in the words of the original usians.

asciilifeform: it's an ideal object, wat.

asciilifeform: phf`: fuhrerprinzip!111

asciilifeform: rate unknownthief -1001 does what exactly.

asciilifeform: 'don't go pinching lord's auto' is same deal.

asciilifeform: this yes.

asciilifeform: sort, somehow, the candidates .

asciilifeform: not esp. good pr, and accomplishes 0

asciilifeform: 'by will of lord' is what ? sultan selim using own subjects randomly for target practice from the parapet ?

asciilifeform: you -- them, or they -- you, tertium non datur

asciilifeform: i dunno what form of social organization lacks some kind of 'hang rustlers'.

asciilifeform: fuck the fuckable poor. etc

asciilifeform: breed the malleable poor.

asciilifeform: they didn't simply 'hang the poor' tho. ~uppity~ poor

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: aha, britain, 1700s.

asciilifeform: or however titles work in your monkeystan.

asciilifeform: title is presumably with the local lord.

asciilifeform: simple, you pick him up before hanged, 'this is my brother'

asciilifeform: ( if he doesn't, why not hang him ? )

asciilifeform: the 'trap alive' solution is imho neato tho. car stops, locks. if the d00d inside has title to it -- they let'im go.

asciilifeform: or think of car alarm, most of the time it is what ? wind ? bird shit ?

asciilifeform: police radio in this town is maybe 40% 'check on tripped alarm' 'oops, nothing'

asciilifeform: if only

asciilifeform: 'oops mistyped code'

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: how'd you like to be stuck in traffic behind idiot who sets off own grenade by mistake.

asciilifeform: ( stolen auto ? gotta get new one )

asciilifeform: auto vendors profit from theft.

asciilifeform: this is exactly same thread as with the credit cards

asciilifeform: http://archive.is/yxcbL << see also.

asciilifeform: this is apparently done, today, on massive scale, and handily circumvents whatever alarms, etc.

asciilifeform: so to steal it, all you need is to artificially help the key box hear the interrogator antenna, and vice-versa.

asciilifeform: where upscale auto now likes to start engine immediately 'as owner walks in', from pure proximity (it is continuously polling 'is the key here??' like idiot)

asciilifeform: 'rf range extender attack'

asciilifeform: turns out, there is a simple electrical hijack that is now used against expensive autos,

asciilifeform: asciilifeform was recently buying faraday ~bags~ to test, after noticing that they have become cheap and ubiquitous, and then went to find WHY

asciilifeform: not wholly unrelatedly!! :

asciilifeform: steal directly from importer!111

asciilifeform: would suck if you stole one that gives out unexpectedly.

asciilifeform: i suppose very rich can duel with colliding 'boeings' also, why not.

asciilifeform: cheaper.

asciilifeform: why not old-fashioned pistol duel.

asciilifeform: 'chicken'

asciilifeform: phf`: endurance hunter, lol

asciilifeform: gentlemen, get yer gnats in working order. will need them shortly.

asciilifeform: btw anybody other than phf` and mod6 built the example from earlier ?

asciilifeform: gotta have the constant-time exponentiator .

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: rsa thing is complete other than the exponentiator -- currently on asciilifeform's desk, on grid paper..

asciilifeform: 4 ) as bonus, acts as detector of radiological monkey business against your facility.

asciilifeform: 3 ) trivially boosted to almost any bit rate you might want, by simple expedient of putting 'test capsule' from geiger kit in the box...

asciilifeform: 2 ) trivially verified to work exactly as described, incl. the analogue 'business end'

asciilifeform: 1 ) cannot be influenced from outside, certainly without you knowing about it, not by 'all the king's horses and all the king's men'

asciilifeform: gamma rng has certain advantages which cannot be had any other way

asciilifeform: (which is why LYSO and not, e.g., BGO)

asciilifeform: i dun even care about background gamma, but only the 'own goals' from the Lu's ~3% unstable isotope itself

asciilifeform: if it catches 1 in 500, still great!

asciilifeform: because rng is NOT concerned with accurate photon counts

asciilifeform: and conceivably much cheaper, poor sensors, will work

asciilifeform: the interesting bit is that afaik nobody's ever tried THIS application.

asciilifeform: ^ them ^

asciilifeform: !~google silicon photomultiplier

asciilifeform: for 100mg diode aha

asciilifeform: i'd like cheaper.

asciilifeform: soluble presently for 50bux/ea.

asciilifeform: common n00b mistake -- 'use ccd'

asciilifeform: (which is no good for rng, for reasons explored in older thread)

asciilifeform: at the amplification needed, ccd is ~100% own noise

asciilifeform: this doesn't even go through plexiglas.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: we're talking 430nm or so

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-08#1653047 << this is a slow-burning effort, Framedragger . currently stuck on finding a pin diode that 1) has any uv sensitivity to speak of 2) doesn't cost its weight in diamonds ☝︎

asciilifeform can picture it

asciilifeform: yarrr.

asciilifeform cements image of mircea_popesculandia as treasure island now in head

asciilifeform: everyone knows what sea loooks like already.

asciilifeform: i did take photo of water, from yacht, but it's a snore, didn't even feel like posting.

asciilifeform: somehow did not think of it. and not of wearing silver dishes on head, either...

asciilifeform: nope.
