asciilifeform: interceptors and fighting jets in general are a special case of 'cold war' hardware, in that they were never expected to last.
BingoBoingo: Maybe not for all aircraft, but it seems the case for the ones the empire uses with regularity in anger
asciilifeform: if this is not yet, then only a matter of time.
BingoBoingo: I thought even US aircraft now are just parts waiting to be consumed by their brothers and sisters
asciilifeform: then the situation is reversed - handful of working items, large and sometimes well-guarded lot of cannibalism
asciilifeform: but what if they cannot be had.
asciilifeform: think of a taxi or bus park. there's usually a handful of disabled vehicles, but they either await the scrapyard or a shipment of parts, given as the latter can be had
asciilifeform: a greybeard and squad of monkeys parts them out, maintaining the handful in some semblance of working order.
asciilifeform: the rest - are kept in parts graveyards.
asciilifeform: as i understand, this is why countries that inherited, bought, stole, etc. some xxx quantity of soviet aircraft yy years ago, tend to fly some small handful z of them at a time
asciilifeform: much like your finger cannot function for long or very usefully unless attached to the rest of you
asciilifeform: have to understand, jet fighter is not really a complete machine. it is a tentacle of the larger industrial slave empire which produced and employed it.

BingoBoingo: I might have to make a trip there when I can convert BTC to pallets of local scrip
asciilifeform: seems possible that they might agree to part with them for price of scrap, if you arrange transportation.

BingoBoingo would kind of like the rest of the plane too...

gernika: May I ask where the reptilian reference comes from? (lizard hitler, et. al) I see some references to Hitler being a Lizard Alien Being on google, but nothing beyond a literal interpretation of that.

asciilifeform: at no point may the orcs have a leader who is not an active muppet.
BingoBoingo: Sure, they ship Afghani opium pretty much everywhere for refinement into heroin.
asciilifeform: then rebranded as a u.s. dept. of state 'dissidents need to plan their glorious democratic multi-coloured revolutions without interference from cruel orcish gestapos' gizmo.
BingoBoingo: Sure, but the Tor people hate bringing that up.
asciilifeform: it was (originally - and semi-publicly) spun as a 'our spies need to do their thing under the cloak of a river of shit traffic so here's this free service' gizmo
asciilifeform: tor project funding wasn't secret, either
BingoBoingo: This surprised, I guess the small number of anons who might not be from USG's vegetable garden
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: One of the tor devs drawing their USG funded paychecks was an operator of one of the "Anonymous" movement twitter accounts
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: tor drama << i don't get it. what, exactly, was the linked thing about ?
asciilifeform: ^ these folks need to invoice moscow for their orlov cheques.
babbys_first_bit: Why haven't the devs or the general userbase demanded we switch from BTC to micro BTC or whatever

BingoBoingo: They insert soldering iron into a convenient opening and wait for it to heat up
BingoBoingo: But with yourself and a soldering iron someone might extract the paper's location
babbys_first_bit: I suppose unless I go around telling people IRL i've got a paper backup with my bitcoin wealth tied to it, nobody who happened to find it would even know what it meant. It's not like i wrote "ARMORY BACKUP FOR EXTREME BITCOIN WEALTH" on the backup
mike_c: if that bothers you, encrypt the paper wallet and then print it out.
mike_c: it's kinda the point
babbys_first_bit: I find it kind of odd how I'd need to use a USB stick combined with accessing my offline laptop with the password before I can send coins, yet if someone were to get my paper wallet and knew what those four letter words meant, they suddenly have the keys to the kingdom
mike_c: babbys_first_bit: the paper wallet gives access to coins sans password.
babbys_first_bit: Those paper wallet backups I made, if someone were to get a hold of them , and somehow know what they meant, could they steal my coins, or would they need my password?
BingoBoingo: Just make sure you can actually move them to an address you have sole control over
babbys_first_bit: these sub 400 coins, they're cheap right

mircea_popescu: NAT. We also show that a natural countermeasure of using Tor or other anonymity services can be cut-off by abusing anti-DoS countermeasures of the bitcoin network. Our attacks require only a few machines and have been experimentally verified. We propose several countermeasures to mitigate these new attacks.
mircea_popescu: We present an efficient method to deanonymize Bitcoin users, which allows to link user pseudonyms to the IP addresses where the transactions are generated. Our techniques work for the most common and the most challenging scenario when users are behind NATs or firewalls of their ISPs. They allow to link transactions of a user behind a NAT and to distinguish connections and transactions of different users behind the same

Vexual: im sure it will all sort out in the wash
cazalla: Vexual, perhaps new owner just uses it for email, there is no criteria stating he has to have a webpage
Vexual: yeah, ive read the annual

decimation: yeah Jim has a point, it seems to me the Internet has a tendency to empower the periphery at the expense of the center
mircea_popescu: I am an American, but my children will be free citizens of the Net. They may reside in this country[22] or that, but their economic and social intercourse will effortlessly span the globe.
mircea_popescu: Wait for the day when citizens, incessantly polled by leaders trying to jump out in front of each passing parade, don't even bother answering the questions. "Do you feel that your group is going to get its fair share of the booty your elected representatives plan to pilfer from that group?" Get lost.
mircea_popescu: "The information revolution will transform the politics of power just as surely as the broadcast media did 70 years ago. Only this time, power will devolve back toward its sources, not inward toward demagogues seeking to gather it. The Net will subvert the centralized economic and social control mechanisms that allowed the great welfare-warfare states[33] of the 20th century to dominate our commerce, our psychic landsc
mircea_popescu: "Let Gingrich and Gore hail the arrival of the information superhighway that "the people" can use to talk back to our "leaders." Their illusive dream of "participatory democracy" will be short-lived.

decimation: I bet problems like that one can be solved... by pay money to the right agents

asciilifeform: the mob riots at lizard hitler's pleasure, for his purposes.

nubbins`: leave wendy's until they get rid of the pretzel burge
asciilifeform: funny how nothing but the designated 'kindling' is ever burned up in u.s. riots.
mircea_popescu: decimation this is true, and you can diagnose it in adults by their reaction to minor destabilisation.
decimation: "During rough-and-tumble play like this, fathers tend to use playful teasing to “destabilize children both emotionally and cognitively,” which children like—despite the seemingly ominous implications of the word “destabilizing.”"
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: mechanism is observable in rats and other rodents (where, iirc, sex ratios skew towards males in lean times)
BingoBoingo: Walgreens is now on fire, guessing they already took all of the cool drugs
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform nah, im not quoting the blather.
mircea_popescu: the mechanism is quite simple : if the males are absent the population is under threat and it must be supported biologically.
mircea_popescu: anyway, the quoted explaination is nonsense.
mircea_popescu: single mothers raise sluts? who knew!
mircea_popescu: . “Researchers have revealed a robust association between father absence—both physical and psychological—and accelerated reproductive development and sexual risk-taking in daughters,”
mircea_popescu: http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/philg/ << research that mothers are boring and ineffectual childcarers. and other stuff.
