asciilifeform: fivezerotwo: brute force << yes, it is. i've met folks who have toiled in the fuzz farms.
asciilifeform: spreading is in most cases a minus there. a human being might turn it up and publish reversing, sooner than author would like.
asciilifeform: fivezerotwo: other thing is, the gov-sponsored crapware doesn't really need to spread. installed by a bribed/threatened/turned man inside the enemy target. so no need to 'keep a slender figure.'
mircea_popescu: there we go
asciilifeform: no one suggested, so i will - the mutilated words are convincing precisely because mutilated. target is - clinical imbeciles.

mircea_popescu: i mean, you make bricks out of clay rather than cernosiom for a reason

RagnarDanneskjol: are there any terms for surrender. ransom demands
ProgressUpdate: closing notes: mireca_popescu: mocking someone who attacks you for less than 1/20th your mitigation efforts cost is not the smartest decision. cazalla i'll think about it

xanthyos: and watching them interact with a stranger colony
Maryjane: Especially down the Champlain valley
Maryjane: Most hobbyists I know here cannot keep up with keeping the bees tho
decimation: the bees are worth their wage when they pollinate more efficiently than the alternatives
decimation: mircea_popescu: I suspect that any farmer who actually plans on living on his own harvest is much the same

decimation: do the russian bees seem more resistant to the mites? It appears the gov't thinks that's the case.
Maryjane: Their propolis production
Maryjane: They have since before our years
xanthyos: and make the perfect broodwich
decimation: I suspect the best 'solution' is to interbreed the africanized bees with other species and select against aggressive broods.
Maryjane: Italians and carni's are what we raise here usually, but bees even African iced are highly adapted creatures. The African iced ones are forced into a place they don't thrive. It's like how the Russian bees don't do well here either
decimation: seems to me that the main danger is letting neglected properties become fully infested
