assbot: Logged on 06-05-2015 00:04:04; asciilifeform: and the idiotic scam helps to discourage the few folks who might yet do it.
mircea_popescu: in a functioning sexconomy, bad surogates on display are arousing not depressing.
williamdunne doesn't understand how homegenity of any particular racial group can be useful, when most cultural traits are specific to individuals regardless of racial group.
assbot: Logged on 06-05-2015 00:09:48; asciilifeform: the pretentious derps, just think of it.
mircea_popescu: williamdunne less time wasted identifying the idiots, which need to be oppressed ?
williamdunne: How can you do that with a racial group though? I think this group testifies to that as we're from all over
mircea_popescu: that's kinda what happens with racial stereotypes. if you grow up among white people, you immediately recognize white trash. black people don't register properly in this scheme, so your mental heuristic (correctly) just assigns the trash bit to all of them.
mircea_popescu: and if they don't like it, let them look more like upstanding white folk.
mircea_popescu: obviously all this is pointless once we have internets and wots and so on. but for a long time before now...
williamdunne: So, just to be clear. The difference is you can tell who shitty white people are, but you can't tell who shitty black people are?
mircea_popescu: heck, most monocultural folk can't even DISTINGUISH people of other races.
williamdunne: Can't say I've really experienced that personally
williamdunne: Maybe, I know at secondary school I wasn't the only one without the issue
williamdunne: Occasional racist jokes but the couple of Asian kids and couple of black kids were just viewed as other kids
mircea_popescu: so if you get mugged by a korean guy you can confidently pick him up out of a line-up of six other korean guys, same age same height ?
☟︎ williamdunne: Maybe the whole school was more perceptive, I had heard of a few racist-type events at the non-selective schools
williamdunne: But sure, introduce me to them over an evening, and outside of usual struggles with names I'll do fine
williamdunne: Pretty broad, so interests, attitudes, emotional stuff
mircea_popescu: because obviously the most commonly held lowest denominator of culture (ie, language) is pretty race-related.
mircea_popescu: not that many white people speaking sino-tibetan languages, not that many black people speaking indo-european languages, not that many yellow people speaking semitic languages etc.
williamdunne: Seems more geographic, with race being the likelihood of being in whatever geography
williamdunne: Lots of English speaking yellow people who don't know any asian languages in the UK
mircea_popescu: obviously a kid can learn any language it hears growing up.

But, we know those schools aren't always the most diverse. For example, while 14% of Hispanic college enrollment is at 4-year schools, Hispanics make up just 7% at the 200 most selective schools.

mircea_popescu: MMA is the place where all of those bodies are landing. It might not be boxing, but boxing is there. And the grappling and kicking coaches want your help. Believe me, comparing notes with a ground fighter in 2013 is far better than arguing with the wannabe martial arts movie stars of the 1970s about their bizarre array of secret animal punches and their ability to levitate out of your way as they stole your life force
mircea_popescu: When I was the same age as the MMA athletes you are training all we had was silk-lined fantasy. Now there is a real sweaty reality in a cage near you, and you just might be able to help some hard working young wrestler who actually knows how to make weight, box, if only in spots. Even so, it’s still boxing, and it’s a fact, that most of the hands being taped today are being taped cage-side. You might-as-well wield

mircea_popescu: "Note that every honest person in Baltimore believes these riots were the first of many, and that the media and government—attributing the riots to the death of Freddie Gray—think that throwing some cops under the proverbial city bus will assuage black rage, when in reality, every government initiative that has contributed to the racial hatred in Baltimore is still ongoing. There will be more riots in Baltimore, pe

mircea_popescu: "The Baltimore riots were fueled by cohesive large scale mobs exiting their criminal training ground, where they are prepared for a lifetime of illiteracy and incarceration: Baltimore City Schools. These riots only reached virulent levels during the week. The media claims that the riots calmed down after Friday because of the police indictments, but this was not so. Friday was as hot as any day of the riots other than
mircea_popescu: Monday. The first riots on the Saturday following the death of Freddie Gray were not a fraction of what came on Monday after his funeral. Recall that all parties predicted that the funeral would calm tensions, not considering that Freddie Gray’s death was just an excuse to vent long standing hatreds, and that proper mass riots could not be organized until high school was in session. When another weekend rolled around
mircea_popescu: there was no longer an ability to marshal large ghetto forces, absent their high school breeding grounds. The media coverage was a complete lie and a hoax, the rioters have been excused, and the race-purging strike teams in outlying areas ignored or covered up. During the school year attend such events in Baltimore only on the weekend. If they have a Friday night event, do not go. As this event is in August, I predict
mircea_popescu: Finally, if the event is held between the 1st [SSI distribution] and the 16th [last EBT distribution] the ghetto will be flush with government money. Any event held after the 20th will be likely to draw criminal predators, mostly teens ranging away from the nest to fill their mother’s requests, such as, “Baby, get me a new purse—a nice leather one like those white ladies carry.”

davout: asciilifeform: am i correct in my understanding of the thermonuke patch that it will try to reverse-sync starting from any arbitrary block it receives?
davout: or does it simply drop any block it receives and that doesn't chain on top of the current best?
davout: ah ok, so it doesn't reverse-sync per se, but instead tries to get better matches
davout: (it doesn't reverse-sync in the sense that it doesn't keep a partial tree it tries to reconnect to the currency known best tree)
davout: not sure i get "the thing walks the orphanage and finds the start of the chain"

lobbes: 'Parks Department officials were unable to remove the bust initially, but arrived at noon to cover it with a tarpaulin'
davout: danielpbarron: looking at your pogo docs, not sure how to perform step 4.1 u-boot compilation
davout: i've built the new kernel according to asciilifeform's instructions, including the v2 patches
mod6: <+asciilifeform> [BTC-dev] Full Orphanage Thermonuke Massif Output (Theoretically, covers entire address space of process) << great work, asciilifeform. thanks for putting that together :]
davout: from what i understand i need to replace u-boot on the pogo so that it'll load this new kernel over the network by using tftp
davout: perplexed at the u-boot step, how do i actually get to asciilifeform's "(you -did- configure the u-boot to tftp by default, aha?)" ?
danielpbarron: it comes with its own uBoot, which can be configured to load a kernel over the network
mod6: I can't really check from here, but later tonight will give some updates as to how my v0.5.3.1+OrphanageBurner build is running. last I saw, it was using quite a bit of available ram. was >200`000 blocks, and still running, but that was lastnight.
☟︎ mod6: (and yeah, that's on a deb6 - x86_64 env)
danielpbarron: but it does not come with the tool needed to do this, which is fw_printenv
davout: which is aimed at booting debian/alarm from an sdcard
mod6: oh cool, i guess my pogo will be delivered tomorrow
davout: i assume i can use the steps relevant to u-boot from there to get the correct version on the pogo and resume your instructions when that's done
davout: danielpbarron: but i'm slightly confused at this whole thing, say i manage to flash the new uboot on the pogo, and set the correct variables with the new fw_printenv command that comes with the improved u-boot, and that with the correct settings the pogo will look for a kernel on the network at boot time, what's netcat for?
davout: aah, reading the instructions once again, it starts to make sense
davout: danielpbarron: so looks like i managed to get the kernel loaded and starting
danielpbarron: you used the qnology guide to get the uBoot thing working?
davout: danielpbarron: looks like it hangs at "Starting kernel ...", is any output expected afterwards ?
davout: yes, i got the u-boot working, see the output i get in netcat ^
danielpbarron: netcat stops there, you shouldn't see anything else
davout: the pogo seems to have a half green half red light
danielpbarron: if you used ascii's thing, then it should have telnet built in
davout: ah i see, i tried SSH'ing into it to no avail
davout: yea, i used ascii's instructions and patches
danielpbarron: he decided that since the thing has no RNG, ssh is a waste
davout: so now i guess i just need to build the bitcoind release and put it on the pogo
danielpbarron: you should be able to telnet in as root, password is probably also root or something
davout: telnet without a username got me in as root
danielpbarron: yeah, it's as insecure as could be, because telnet shouldn't be enabled on the final product anyway
davout: so now do i compile bitcoind right there? or should i somehow compile it on my local machine?
☟︎ assbot: [MPEX] [FT] [X.EUR] 490 @ 0.0047648 = 2.3348 BTC [+] {3}
davout: ok, where would i find directions to compile it properly for the pogo?
danielpbarron: i was able to compile bitcoind for a pogo from my gentoo laptop using crossdev
davout: and since you mention the final product, what would the target procedure look like to configure a new pogo?
danielpbarron: i would guess something like flashing the memory with a ramdisk image that has all the kernel userland and bitcoind already in there
danielpbarron: pre-configured to look for a sata drive to format and mount as the datadir for bitcoind
davout: but from my understanding a stock pogo won't let you simply boot from an arbitrary usb stick
danielpbarron: and you can boot from usb, it just has to be the USB2 port on the top of the unit
danielpbarron: i'm not sure if it can boot from sata out of the box; it's uBoot should be able to do it, but i don't know if it would need to be reconfigured
davout: ah, so ultimately the procedure would be "acquire pogo, burn image on USB stick, insert SATA drive, insert flashed USB stick, power unit on" right?
danielpbarron: although that might also be handy for making lots in one pass
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 392600 @ 0.00021549 = 84.6014 BTC [-] {3}
danielpbarron: but you should be able to ssh into a new unit, download the image and flash it
davout: i guess it really depends on whether we want to ship pre-configured units, or make an easy procedure available
danielpbarron: the abiltity to audit the thing is one of the most important features
davout: ok, i'm off for now, i'll get on cross-compiling bitcoind and getting it running on the pogo later

mircea_popescu: nubbins` apparently the word is out. you and your bizarre kink.
nubbins`: incidentally i used to keep a blog on this fetlife-esque website years and years ago
nubbins`: memories have been coming back
mircea_popescu: (btw... fetlife scraping still ongoing. they "fixed" so many things meanwhile...)
mircea_popescu: nubbins` you know there's nothing shameful about being a slut.
nubbins`: this site, iam.bmezine.com (still alive in a frankenstein-esque parody of its former self), was actually way ahead of its time
nubbins`: you could set your profile as public or private
nubbins`: then later they added a "tracker" feature that, when enabled, would give you a list of the usernames that have visited your page
mircea_popescu: the way bmezine worked is that a large group of brown shit (random idiots mostly looking into an intersting path to killing themselves, a service boxing did for most of the 1900s, up to about the 90s) got some yellow shit interspersed. these are people who they themselves saw a little further than most.
nubbins`: THEN they let you block people who used trackers on their own pages, etc etc
mircea_popescu: to their reminescence, bmezine, ie, what they saw there then, was way ahead of its time. so would have anything else been, wherever they happened to look.
nubbins`: whole thing was written in "powerbasic" which had the unfortunate side effect of all the URLs ending in .exe
nubbins`: like /showprofile.exe?nubbins etc
mircea_popescu: heh. powerball is a language now ? no wonder there's so many coders out there.
nubbins`: as you'd imagine, iam.bmezine.com created an insular environment that convinced a lotta fucked up people that the fucked up things they wanted to do to themselves were acceptable
nubbins`: the better to cry discrimination, &c
nubbins`: anyway, sordid tale. large chunk of my youth. met a lotta friends and an almost-wife, lost not quite a pound of flesh but close enough to it

ben_vulpes: dudes at the field don't know the diff

mircea_popescu: whether groupon (usg mafia) gets it or ru or cn mafia gets it... still gotten.
mircea_popescu: nubbins` anyway, only notable for the ending of the original post, "However this conflict is resolved, I now know that I cannot rely upon my former partner and dearest friend and in the following year may work to build a BDSM dating site that is run effectively, responsibly and for the benefit of its users, not as a personal kingdom."
nubbins`: BME worked as a personal kingdom
nubbins`: failed as a committee-run thing
ben_vulpes: most things do, if under competent kings right?
mircea_popescu: you don't get to even hear about them otherwise. by the time you hear about amazon, or apple, or /we it's no longer on the table whether bezos is or is not competent.
mircea_popescu: o wow, "He is the writer of the graphic novel RED, adapted into the film starring Bruce Willis and Helen Mirren." << how the fuck did i miss this. you seen it nubbins` ?

mircea_popescu: teh mironova chick definitely could do with some manhandling
ascii_field: exes were sinking kingdoms and empires since t=-inf
nubbins`: ^ publicly viewable, no acct reqd
mircea_popescu: but anyway, moral being : forget about putting your time and effort into "compliance". for one thing it's stupid. for the other thing, who the fuck are they ?! and finally it's deliberately made to not be a satisfiable requirement. just there to soak up your time and resources.
mircea_popescu: outright ignore "compliance", spend the time and resources on the harem instead.
mircea_popescu: (and no, i am not aware you can be a successful king without a harem. your gender is not particularly relevant, your sexual preferences are not particularly relevant either. but you will have a lot of intimate relationships with a lot of other people, who are comitted to you personally.)
nubbins`: "One of the things I discovered is that if someone else has more money than you and are willing to spend it on lawyers, "right and wrong" are not very important!"
mircea_popescu: fetlife bitterly discovered same recently. was kinda fun to watch.
nubbins`: "BME was hugely profitable. That said, because I trusted others to manage my finances, I was under the impression that BME was barely breaking even though it really was a license to print money. I was much more interested in BME on a creative level than a business level."
nubbins`: that's the elevator version right there
mircea_popescu: yeah, the funny thing about the human condition, in its fractally-deliberate misdesign, is that the slaves are altogether more likely to be creative than the masters.
ben_vulpes: i wonder to what degree that describes burning man's finances.
ben_vulpes: harem and slave are similar concepts in this model of "leadership"?
mircea_popescu: which is a fine entry point for explaining to the naive why exactly a properly explicit master-slave relationship is the best intimate arrangement available.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes similar but not identical, and the difference is way out of scope here.
mircea_popescu: (as the above explanation, consider moldbug's very valid discussion of the guy with the ring that could kill. he who is secure in his authority makes excellent leadership. he who is not - horribru)
mircea_popescu: and to do a meta point here, to go with the meta point above : this entire discussion is a fine point to explain to the managerially challenged why you can't "control the evaporation". where intelligent people lay, nubbins' lateral discussion of "bullshot nobody cares about" sparked stuff people do seem to care about.
nubbins`: "All I need is <username of my dog>, <my motorcycle>, and maybe a little adventure now and then."
nubbins`: suspiciously absent from list of things she needs: her daughter o.O
mircea_popescu: nubbins` is her nose big enough to qualify as a rachel ?
mircea_popescu: ascii_field yeah him. and incidentally, this is the secular driver of the collapse in quality of life and everything else seen since the 1700s (it is a horrid collapse once you do inflation-adjustments) : back then leadership was secure, and therefore either good or motivated to improve, ever so marginally.
mircea_popescu: today most models have insecure leadership, and so "corruption", which is NEVER a problem, ends up misrepresented as one.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: this was 98% of mr mold's theme
mircea_popescu: for that matter, the problem with yarvin was not the broad strokes, but all the empty mcdonalds wrappers he glued to them everywhere.
ascii_field: it is obvious as daylight, to anyone who gives a damn
ascii_field: what he found in the junkyard where he grew up - he glued, yes.
mircea_popescu: i guess it's possible he's just a bodysnatcher victim, rather than outright ill intended.
mircea_popescu: but this distinction without a difference /me can scarcely be interested in.
mircea_popescu: maybe if he had nice tits and i was fucking her. maybe.
mircea_popescu: Yes, that's very pretty. I heard a story once. In fact, I've heard a lot of stories in my time. They went along with the sound
mircea_popescu: of a tinny piano playing in the parlor downstairs."Mister, I met a man once when I was a kid," they'd always begin.
mircea_popescu: (it's from casablanca, bogart says it to the stupid priss w/e her name is)
ascii_field: famine victims do the stupidest imaginable shit, like eating dirt and sand, drinking sea water
ascii_field: sometimes - nutritious insects in the dirt
ascii_field: <mircea_popescu> not all of them << the remaining - starve quietly, with honour ?
mircea_popescu: there's a reason nubbins` finds the mentally insane so fascinating. that reason is that he has the deep intuition that the only people worth the mention are the ones that don't actually care.
ascii_field: 'nuts are the only sane folks' - oldest meme in the book - not wrong, really, either
mircea_popescu: ascii_field anyway, if it's not obvious, the tinny piano in the parlor downstairs explicitly says the woman's a whore.
mircea_popescu: she never actually confronts this, which is why To Have and Have Not is a much better movie than casablanca.
mircea_popescu: it's also why it had to be made (it's quite obviously a remake of casablanca, without the "girl next door" slime befouling it). that point has to be addressed.
nubbins`: so i have five bottles of neutral-pH bookbinding glue
nubbins`: cracked the seal on one today -- solid mass of rubberish white inside
nubbins`: crack the seals on the other four -- same thing.
nubbins`: "yeah, we don't have any more in stock, and we're not expecting any more... we can give you a refund on thursday"
nubbins`: and that was the moment i said to myself "fuck currys, i'm ordering from talas from now on"
ascii_field: mod6: aha i asked because you specified 'orphanage burner' - which was the 1st try of this
mod6: didn't mean to confuse them.

ascii_field: the thermonuker is (very tentatively) a candidate for merge.
mircea_popescu: should really see what itproduces as a blockchain first. at a bare minimum
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: which is why i took the time to set it going.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: take a few min. to read the patch, if you have not. the behaviour should be logically equivalent to virginal 0.5.3 with an orphanage of zero
mod6: and as far as valgrind, I'll do some stuff with it as I get through these other things.
mod6: im through stage 1 of the gentoo stuff; but now need to document and get that published hopefully by the start of next week. then need to get it setup for cross-compiling.
mod6: I also want to focus on the testing of your patch ascii_field. If it is to be merged, we must ensure that we do not regress.
ascii_field: iirc we don't even have a uclibc build going.
mod6: what needs to be done there?
mod6: ahh, so this is for embedded systems -- to replace a bulky/asinine glibc?

assbot: Logged on 06-05-2015 17:35:05; nubbins`: yesterday, the canadian province of alberta (canada's texas) elected a majority NDP (the leftmost party we've got) government
pete_dushenski: also, article updated with... yet another personal connection to ndp.
pete_dushenski: i wouldn't say i'm ashamed, but my goodness does socialism run deep in my veins.
pete_dushenski: the lulz then ? this is on the ukrainian orthodox side.
mircea_popescu: basically, jews came up with the first social security system. this, cca 2000 ad.
mircea_popescu: nah, not just that. having kids eat at different houses each day so they could stay in school ?
mircea_popescu: (note incidentally that the ancient superset of family life - each kid eats with his mother - is harem life - each kid eats with all the mothers)
pete_dushenski: what's the story on the kids eating around ? first i've heard of it.
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski what do you think yeshiva was originally ?
pete_dushenski: aha. and this yeshivic arrangement is part of social security as well ?
mircea_popescu: the boys aren't expected to SEDUCE those married women and OVERPOWER their husbands, are they ?
mircea_popescu: hardly. more like an inhuman force of nature that has the potential to be massively disruptive and interfacing him to the village may well cost more than it's worth.
pete_dushenski: so a rotating set of meals as a test, a benchmark, to ensure cohesion and the integrity of the social fabric.
mircea_popescu: no, just, to make taxation bearable and spending of public funds effectual.
mircea_popescu: this is how boy becomes the castrated sort of cvasi-intellectual jewish world always produced. the women love the style because it flatters their inferiority complex, the men tolerate it because they don't like fighting (or think they don't, because they grew up the same way)
pete_dushenski: and what of the boys who don't stay or won't be castrated ? the ones who seduce and overpower ?
mircea_popescu: im sure they have excellent personal histories. but, much like in the case of the messiah you hadn't heard of, the "culture" or w/e it is fails to meaningfully represent them.
mircea_popescu: (this is ITS failure, try it as it might to misrepresent it as theirs)
pete_dushenski: so spinoza, einstein, maimonides, freud, bohr aren't meaningfully represented ?
kakobrekla: >SeppuKuma also offers 23 very different methods one can choose to end their life, including Everlasting Sleep (lethal injection), Pillow Kisses (suffocation), Peaceful Breath (helium asphyxia) and Sleepy time Hug which is where the robotic bear strangles its partner until their pulse stops for 15 minutes.
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski who the hell's any of these dudes overpower ?
mircea_popescu: take einstein. he died lieing about his gfs. didja get that bit in the log ?
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu we might need to go back to the maccabees for a proper example.
nubbins`: "in this method, a pillow softly kisses you as your body thrashes wildly until brain death occurs"
nubbins`: hmm, i ordered that glue in february. maybe it froze during transit.
jurov: you collectively forgot to thank Him He did not make you women
trinque: nubbins`: ndp's the one shouting about taxing the rich more?
trinque: that'll work; good for them
pete_dushenski: ndp = boost corporate taxes from 10 to 12%, increase min. wage to $15/hr, 12% tax rate on income between $125,000 to $150,000; 13% on income between $150,000 to $200,000; 14% between $200,000 and $300,000 and 15% over $300,000, all up from 10% flat provincial tax
pete_dushenski: federal is still stepped, alberta WAS the only province with flat income tax.
mircea_popescu: you don't understand how the world works. when you're out of money, you find someone who has some and either steal or beg for it.
nubbins`: meanwhile here in twodogland, HST just went up 2%
nubbins`: we found some oil and it went to our heads
nubbins`: and danny millions sold us yet another boondoggle in the form of muskrat falls
pete_dushenski: jurov at least the new premier is happy to be a woman.
trinque: mircea_popescu: rich people have literally infinite money
trinque: and after all they're just sitting on it
mircea_popescu: i should hope the man's mental processes weren't as disordered in all fields as he displays here.
nubbins`: mircea_popescu zentastic.com, see for yourself
mircea_popescu: lol wb scoopbot_revived . apparently it does catchup work now, which is great.
nubbins`: i had no idea how many github repositories are stuffed with copyrighted fonts
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu upon review of scoopbot_revived's exquisite design, which includes the titles, nothing !
mircea_popescu: "Sure, we can all agree that the assumptions made about the nature of blacks at the time was wrong, but that doesn't give us the right to condemn slave owners who didn't know any better. We don't condemn cave people for eating uncooked meat just because they hadn't discovered fire yet, do we?"
trinque: nubbins`: that's the accepted way to find fonts among designers these days
trinque: ext:ttf site:github.com derpy font
mircea_popescu: meanwhile, i just had a very bloody steak. must be because i've not yet discovered how to make beef unedible.

trinque: re: font thread, anyone have a monospaced font with decent word shape?
trinque: I'm using terminus atm with the letter spacing cranked down a bit, works ok
trinque: ???Our country is a poor and agrarian country,??? he told GlobalPost on Monday. ???But it???s home to decent people who want their country to flourish, to be closer to European standards, and for it to find its economic niche alongside the European Union.??? << lol europe pls halp
trinque: is this the only political issue in the region, whether to be eaten by the EU or Russia?
☟︎ trinque: and what I wonder is whether to expect a war over the partitioning of eastern europe, or whether the basic agreement on who gets what has already been made
trinque: I could easily see the latter
pete_dushenski: trinque deal already made between germany and russia ? you think ?
trinque: pete_dushenski: dunno what I think, asking the question though. I'm not well informed on eastern european politics.
trinque: my inclination is to believe all these bastards running the largest socialist states talk to each other
schmidty: saw a provocative looking comment about the blocksize and i am falling down a rabbit hole now
jurov: but russia very resents and already violated it by annexing crimea
jurov: except they did not violate it, but these kiev nazis
trinque: that seems to be the issue looking from far outside
trinque: after the USSR collapse, all these fragments of the USSR military left outside the border of russia
trinque: and russians that migrated outside russia
trinque: so the cynic in me says the whole nato/russia game is merely ironing out the details of the new russian borders, considering the above
ascii_field: trinque: in all cases but ua, accurate. the bulk of ua, on the other hand, was created by hruschev with a pencil
jurov: and tatars were moved, too
trinque: ascii_field: ah right, land was gifted to "ukraine"
ascii_field: when demented premier moves the map - ok. when usg moves the map (independence 'referendum') - also ok. when ru moves - somehow not.
☟︎ ascii_field: stalin was a pathologically forgiving fella.
ascii_field: all the folks who helped the germans do their thing - not one in ten thousand answered with his skin.
pete_dushenski: hm. stalin painted as being too forgiving. that's a new one.
ascii_field: very forgiving. had temp. moratorium on death penalty after ww2, even.
pete_dushenski: who other than vlasov's army helped germans ? and why were they spared ?
☟︎ trinque: ascii_field: does make all of it sound like russia's trying to maintain form, while nato's trying thwart this as it can
☟︎ jurov: alf some time ago explained russia needs buffer zone between itself and eu/nato. and that by any costs.
ascii_field: jurov: more basic than this - needs to not have u.s. nukes across the street (ua, pl, etc)
ascii_field: how much would usa like ru tank corps 'training mission' in mexican border weekly ?
jurov: yes, only chineses allowed
jurov: and iran eventually
ascii_field: last time cn had major shenanigans on ru border, there was a mini-war
jurov: ascii_field: they do have stuff in nikaragua
jurov: and why are defensive radar/anti-missile systems not ok then?
trinque: doesn't seem to be a question of "ok"
trinque: more like one of those ratcheting ties for a truck load
jurov: ru ever tried to ship defensive systems to cuba?
☟︎ ascii_field: thing is, 'defensive' is a deceptive word here
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: Athletes compete injured all the time.
ascii_field: a machine that lets you detect other fella's rockets 5sec earlier, is really as much a lethal weapon as a nuke per se
trinque: ascii_field: sure, and an anti-missile missile launcher can probably fire the other kind too, right?
pete_dushenski: BingoBoingo for sure. no such thing as perfect health for athletes.
trinque: "don't worry, this is only an anti-gunman gun"
BingoBoingo: Now denying the ketorolac shot, far bigger issue
ascii_field: trinque: basic idea is that anything that potentially tips balance of thermonukefest in your favour, is an act of aggression from the other fella's pov
ascii_field: and that this is perfectly pedestrian fact, regardless of whether you like usg or putin or kim jong un or hitler
trinque: also stands to reason that I can lie and say my nuke installations are all merely anti-ICBM installations
jurov: ascii_field: you know what is the only possible response to such doctrine?
jurov: trying to bleed ru out, again
☟︎ trinque: imagine another one came along and saw us all with nukes pointed everywhere, and it wanted the planet
ascii_field: eltsin died, ru spat out the usg cock, and is to bleed for this, yes
trinque: just fake a few nuke radar signatures and boom, planet fumigated
trinque: from an external threat perspective we're as weak as could be
trinque: let rama zip through the solar system once and then ask me how much I give a shit what the border of transnistria is
ascii_field: very easy to not give a fuck about a border that isn't through your house.
jurov: this is not only your house
jurov: i see everyone who is not you is hitler
trinque: heh we could've had mitler
trinque is going to need to move back to TX during clitler; they'll be going apeshit over it

pete_dushenski: "Thanks for ruining my first crypto experience everyone involved! I'll still be around like Jerry Springers audience just to ooh and ahhh and yell punch that bit**from time to time." << some poor commenter.
pete_dushenski: in other news, "Netanyahu's right-wing Likud sealed an agreement with ultranationalist Jewish Home, which advocates annexation of parts of occupied territory Palestinians seek for a state."
ascii_field: ;;later tell mircea_popescu ERROR: certificate common name “keys.mattrude.com” doesn’t match requested host name “keyserver.mattrude.com” << when fetching fresh sks from dulap
