Apocalyptic: who in their right mind would favour such a thing
asciilifeform: hence the one-star performance.
Apocalyptic: "i.e. just turn on either the microphone/speakers or monitor/webcam to read and communicate with the cardano)?" you gotta be kidding me...
asciilifeform: (obvious. the man is clearly a mole, and doing a terrific hash of his duties on purpose.)

asciilifeform: in ussr, most children knew the word - as a brand label of delicious ice cream.
cazalla: https://www.youtube.com/v/7ljvEKOMElY state dept propaganda doesn't have shit on the ones IS make
nubbins`: the word eskimo is seen as derogatory in canada these days, you don't really see it in print anymore
asciilifeform: nubbins`: linked document (military manual) suggests a type of pidgin, which it claims can be understood in much of alaska and northeastern ussr
BingoBoingo: Or their ego being unable to accept that their research subjects might be making jokes about them in front of their face
asciilifeform has seen this said about more than one obscure natural language, it always seems to be a reflection of the linguist's ineptitude, in practice.
asciilifeform: 'The rules of grammar are many and precise and the person who speaks Eskimo cannot make any ambiguous statements.' << really now.
asciilifeform can picture the sheer machinist-grade squareness of the bricks these folks were shitting
asciilifeform: 'All Soviet interrogations are based on the assumptions that: (1) all prisoners are liars; (2) most Westerners can be bought; (3) those who cannot be bought can be broken; and (4) the process of breaking the prisoner can be continued as long as necessary to acquire the desired information.'
mircea_popescu: the notion that anything like the present usg survives not defeat in the field, but merely an unfavourable if momentary turn of events is pushing it into sf.
asciilifeform: never met any Soviet citizens, leads a lonely, introspective life, far from other people, and is by profession a forester, fisherman, lighthouse-keeper, security guard or railwayman. In many cases such an agent will be a physical invalid.'
asciilifeform: 'A portrait of an ideal agent for spetsnaz emerges something like this: a man of between fifty-five and sixty-five years of age who has never served in the army, never had access to secret documents, does not carry or own a weapon, knows nothing about hand-to-hand fighting, does not possess any secret equipment and doesn't support the Comunists, does not read the newspapers, was never in the Soviet Union and has
asciilifeform: lol! '5. Agents should not have been members of the armed forces of the United States nor employees of the United States Government. 6. Agents should be chosen from those persons who will not be logical internees of the enemy.'
BingoBoingo: Pretty sure he isn't the sort to have passed the lab component of any physics course
mircea_popescu: decimation there was. nobody cared.
decimation: yeah that's a good point. there's not a bitbet on this point interestingly
mircea_popescu: it's what the french call a marote

mircea_popescu: kinda curious if the winter explosion takes us into e11 by new year's
decimation: "Take it up with your propaganda—it's too strong" << all manner of misery results when people start believing their own bullshit
mircea_popescu: so you know, telling me how strong people who temporarily became poor didn't really give much of a shit in terms of "the rich" is about as confusing as discussing pregnancy in terms of "look what people can do". tis not people, tis women and women only that can do it.
mircea_popescu: anyway, orlov misses the major point here. it's not about rich/poor as a measurable characteristic. some people are strong, some people are weak. whether the weak are temporarily rich or permanently poor makes little difference at all, money's not for them anyway, nor anything else good in life.
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron the funniest part of all of this being that all the -otc derpheads that rate you have not actually and colectively traded as much.
mircea_popescu: i know multiple chicks there, none of them having ever had it.

asciilifeform: there is not, afaik, a 'slut kolkhoz' maintained by usg...
mircea_popescu: it's the abject middle class that haggles.
decimation: the problem is the divorce between 'charity' and 'responsible to authority'
decimation: yeah there's some truth to that. there's a matter of scale involved too
mircea_popescu: meanwhile poor people resent other poor people for various reasons. "she's a slut" "he's a bum" "they're too self righteous" etc.
mircea_popescu: it's nonsense anyway. the people who actually make money - and by consequence pay taxes - have little problem with limonov and a bunch of other idiots getting 300 bux a month or w/e it is they get. which is why most rich people will pick a eager young slut's rent tab & so forth. da fuck does it make a difference anyway.
asciilifeform: 'I receive Welfare. I live off your labor: you pay taxes and I don't do shit, twice a month I head down to the clean and spacious welfare office at 1515 Broadway and pick up my check. ... What, you don't like me? You don't want to pay? It's not much—278 dollars a month. You don't want to pay. Well then why the fuck did you get me to come here, me and a whole crowd of Jews? Take it up with your propaganda—it'
decimation: well when you give the vote to every breathing biped in a certain area this is pretty much what happens
mircea_popescu: (arachne, for they innocent of the classics, was a rude halfwit spinster - think modern day ceo-wannabe forum kid)
mircea_popescu: what the fuck even.
mircea_popescu: and from the fact that the idiotic population of the us allowed the tavern lobby to be broken up and replaced by the church lobby.
decimation: I think this 'Puritanism' stems from a basic lack of skills on the part of the bureaucratic leaders. i.e. if you don't know how to write a contract for a nuclear submarine, you try to make sure that your employees are well dressed and that 'decorum' is kept.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile at the other ranch, who the fuck needs viagra http://naughtybits.us/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/hole-in-one5_small.jpg
decimation: the permanent bureaucrats who run usg are famous for this attitude
mircea_popescu: there should be a word for this specifically american idiocy phenomenon. derpitanism or something.
mircea_popescu: decimation the difference ? "poor people aren't having FUN on those foodstamps".
decimation: yeah if you zoom out, you realize this guy (or really his navy masters) is getting dinged for throwing a good party for some tired sailors in exchange for a few spare mil$ here and there: corruption! Throwing away trillions on various welfare/healthfare schemes: legitimate!
assbot: Chris Rock shows the Black Progress (Tiger Woods) - YouTube
asciilifeform: 'corruption' in usa is just the same as, e.g., russian 'corruption' - took some, didn't share upwards with superior.
mircea_popescu: yes, but then again the us is chiefly known for having squandered a fortune and built up the history's largest pile of unserviced ious.
decimation: this goes to what those in the us perceive as 'corruption'.
decimation: well, it's the 'navy times'
decimation: "Federal prosecutors allege that Leonard Glenn Francis, the head of the Navy’s primary husbanding company in Asia, regularly enticed naval officers to direct warships to more lucrative ports for his business by offering bribes including junkets, prostitutes, cash — even “Lion King” tickets."
mircea_popescu: and even there it's just the head.
mircea_popescu: the army hasn't had a young maiden singe semiramis.
decimation: well, certs that are hand-rolled on the thighs of young maidens by contractors with specific (unstated) qualifications: http://www.forge.mil/ExternalPKI.html
decimation: asciilifeform: I thought that the usg signed stuff with rsa certs generally
asciilifeform: large number of gearbox failures in '70s was blamed on the faux oil.
mircea_popescu: yeah, there's still no substitute for petrified whale vomit.
asciilifeform recently learned that, for some niche applications, the known substitutes for whale oil are rather poor.
mircea_popescu: if there was a way to save whales but it meant bottling them... if there was a way to attain immortality but you had to be an overweight, socially awkward shut-in ? etc.
decimation: hehe yeah but they should. I suspect more chickens live and die in the us alone every year than all of humanity
mircea_popescu: i think when people talk of saving things, the don't mean save them in the sense cockroaches are saved.
decimation: his solution to "save the wales"? attach transponders so that humans can claim ownership
mircea_popescu: so then. so's flying.
decimation: yeah, pretty much, but car driving is a 'human right' in the us
mircea_popescu: also in the same spirit : http://naughtybits.us/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/Heat-strokes-are-really-bad.gif make sure you get laid often enough.
decimation: "I will be there on June 5 at 6:00 pm." Pilots of light aircraft who utter sentences of that form are very high risk pilots, regardless of skill level.

asciilifeform: a separate piece of x-ray sensitive film was used to read the scatter. When I inquired about the safety of the operatives and their exposure to the potentially deadly radiation, Nicolai laughed...'
asciilifeform: 'I asked him to describe the equipment needed to focus x-rays at a lock and to read them, thinking that the “source” of the radiation would have to be large and well-shielded... ...The answer I received was quite amazing, but I guess not surprising. I was told that the isotopes which gave off the radiation were contained in a handheld tool about the size of a large flashlight. It was pointed at the lock and

asciilifeform: (high-frequency ac through 1 wire, rectifier a la tesla on the 'rocket' end.)

mircea_popescu: " for use against incoming rockets, artillery and mortar strikes" the man said.
mircea_popescu: it's quite obviously there to protect the us spy ships from their own drones, which apparently the chnese are mostly lifting
mircea_popescu: i have nfi why they imagine it'll be useful against "rockets" and mortar shot.
asciilifeform: not even to mention the traditional cheap answer to such tricks (ablative coating.)
mircea_popescu: the funny part here being how the line of the us agitprop was "o laser can't hurt our drones" for as long as it took em to finally get a laser mounted on a truck.

mircea_popescu: the entire fucking thing is basically cargo-cultism trying to re-enact the sounds of scania. somehow.
mircea_popescu: and now you know more of business than virtually any business major in the continental us.
mircea_popescu: not people but things, nevertheless things have their own substance too. they exist.
mircea_popescu: however, we know better right. so why did the fish regularly engage in a behaviour which the other party considered suicidal ?
mircea_popescu: moving on : as far as the at-the-time humans could tell, the fish were "a gift from god", who ordered them to surrender to human interest.
mircea_popescu: but that every single other step was always althrough history equaly conveniently "just as long as the baby's shins"
mircea_popescu: making it thus possible for stable solute temperatures - althrough in principle there's no absolute reasons requiring this fortuitous coincidence life requires absolutely
mircea_popescu: conveniently, salt was very easy to mine, and the process to cure very simple. it never ceases to amaze anyone who seriously studies anthropology not that water is conveniently a universal solvent AND AT THE SAME TIME has a huge caloric capacity,
mircea_popescu: this created a cheap source of protein as well as incentives to industrialise, because salt was needed to cure the meat so it kept.
mircea_popescu: was this peculiar behaviour of fish, to congregate in this particular spot up north, to the point they got so thick you could fish with a sword.
mircea_popescu: the reason the hansa existed, as a basis for german style civilisation and the fundament of what was later dutch (and, after the blodless dutch conquest of britannia, english commercialism)
mircea_popescu: the sounds of scania and all that
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you familiar with premedieval economy in the north of europe ?

asciilifeform: phun phact. when i worked for u.s. army, the building cafeteria had a - blind cashier.
asciilifeform: '...served as chairman of the board of Wiscraft Inc., a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping blind people find employment in manufacturing.'
decimation: given the circumstances of the crash, I think it is likely that the cockpit pressurization system failed - or the guy had a heart attack
asciilifeform: spin recovery in a Cirrus is based on deploying the chute << if true, who bought this machine - and why ?
asciilifeform: 'The test bed aircraft (74-2065) was ready for its first test flight on September 18, 1980, just three weeks after the project was initiated.' <<< picture modern usg doing anything whatsoever on this schedule.
asciilifeform: seems like an even better 'darwinator' than the amateur planes.
decimation: usg tried to modify a c-130 to land inside the Tehran soccer stadium to rescue the Iran hostages https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5gXfK4ypirI
mircea_popescu: "mp's gallow" it should be called. Γ << launch from there.
decimation: The pilot who landed that jet in the hudson was a skilled glider pilot
decimation: The other day I witnessed a particularly skilled glider pilot perform full loops, he did 3 in a row.
mircea_popescu: you know, it occurs to me, all these small single engine planes should be only launched upside down from like 3 meters. by law.
decimation: if one really wants a reliable communting airplane, one needs to spend several million $ to buy a reasonable jet that can fly above weather
mircea_popescu: i can throw a rock off a tall building and it'll spoend some time in the air too, that doesn't make it an airplane.
decimation: right, but the point is that the shiny electronics is what sells the plane as 'safe'
mircea_popescu: forget the electronics, this isn't a question of electronics in any sense. this is a question of fucking foil in flow.
mircea_popescu: legitimate my foot and who the fuck would fly that. good call TheNewDeal
mircea_popescu: "Normally a single-engine airplane has to be spun as part of the certification process. The Cirrus wasn’t. The FAA waived this requirement and accepted the airframe parachute as an alternate means of compliance. I kid you not, the spin recovery in a Cirrus is based on deploying the chute. That is the only way a pilot can recover from a spin in a Cirrus."
mircea_popescu: from what i gather, it was missold.
decimation: so for example one guy got in one late at night in bad weather and flew it into a hill
decimation: mircea_popescu: well, the theory on that one blog is that because it has a parachute, inexperienced derps think they are invincible
mircea_popescu: artifexd wao got them iirc.
mircea_popescu: because you just can'tg keep it in the water , and they know it
decimation: mircea_popescu: as geenspun explains, it is a legitimate safety mechanism, but it doesn't make up for the apparently "comfortable" handling
decimation: mircea_popescu: yeah the whole plane has a parachute
mircea_popescu: whoa shit, you mean a parachute FOR THE ACTUAL PLANE !?
mircea_popescu: it's only "mine" in the sense i bought one.

decimation: continue to resist flight control movement even when the airplane is not moving. In other words, the flight controls feel similar whether you're flying or stalled. "
assbot: Cirrus SR20 (and a bit about the SR22)
decimation: greenspun agrees that the sr-20 has challenging flight dynamics: http://philip.greenspun.com/flying/cirrus-sr20 " In terms of avoiding an accident, one problem with the Cirrus is its unforgiving handling compared to other basic four-seaters. For pilots accustomed to learning about an impending stall by feeling reduced airloads on the flight controls, the Cirrus provides much less stall warning. This is due to spring cartridges that
assbot: SR-22 (insurance) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
decimation: re: Cirrus http://airfactsjournal.com/2012/05/dicks-blog-whats-wrong-with-cirrus-pilots/ I think the more likely case is that the relatively new and shiny Cirrus planes attract inexperienced pilots with a sense of immortality

In these messages, we said some embarrassing things about mutual acquaintances, including comparing one female coworker of ours to Teflon and another pair of upper-level managers as "Batman and Robin". Unfortunately, these messages weren't private after all; someone posted them onto NSANet! :( Now everyone hates me
decimation: TheNewDeal: I would like a parachute on a small plane, there are situations where it would save your life
TheNewDeal: The plane is probably worth more than the people it drives, generally undesirables
TheNewDeal: Most of the planes I have flown on, had no parachute
decimation: yes, they are standard on the cirrus to my knowledge
decimation: asciilifeform: the Cirrus has a parachute
decimation: TheNewDeal: what aerodynamic defect does it have?
asciilifeform: (mandatory only on passenger liners, afaik, but who knows - possibly some of the newer single-seaters have it as well.)
asciilifeform: decimation: how would they control the plane << this was a slip-up and meant literally. controlled how? with the mandatory remote-steering box.
decimation: my understanding is that they have a high cruise speed
decimation: how would they control the plane? with tractor beams?
decimation: The most amusing thing about this story is the simple faith that Bob Builder expresses in USG: “You could tell the jets were extremely well-equipped and in control of the situation,” he said. “We obviously paid close attention, but at no time did we think we were in danger. I think the jets could have controlled where and when it went down."

mircea_popescu: i hope they're going to move all their reporters covering us news outside of the us, too.
BingoBoingo: "This was my fault. While I don't think it's impossible to fairly cover Bitcoin while also holding some Bitcoins, the reason to make these rules blunt and general, rather than nuanced and specific, is to ensure there's no question about the motivations of the underlying coverage."
