asciilifeform: | at last, the ancient dream. pornoshannonizer. | [00:01] |
ben_vulpes: | haha aha | [00:02] |
asciilifeform: | idea, incidentally, is ancient. | [00:02] |
asciilifeform: | i 'evolved' similar 'martians' in an old msdos proggy, iirc called 'imogene'. | [00:02] |
asciilifeform: | unfortunately none of the output - survived. | [00:03] |
asciilifeform: | (or, fortunately..) | [00:03] |
asciilifeform: | evolved, incidentally, starting from white noise. | [00:03] |
asciilifeform: | pure 'genetic algo'. pick the 'more fun', times 1,001... | [00:03] |
ben_vulpes: | there was a screensaver that did this as well | [00:04] |

asciilifeform: | ooold noose. | [00:19] |
trinque: | reminds me of a documentary I watched recently on chicago. a young black gang member says more or less "they killed all the gang leaders, and then everything collapsed" | [00:19] |
asciilifeform: | fella got usg bayonet up his starfish for a reason. | [00:19] |
trinque: | killed/locked-up | [00:19] |
trinque: | aha | [00:19] |
trinque: | same mistake every single time. they have imperial aspirations, yet they apparently have no idea how to do this? you don't destroy the whole power structure in a place you *take* it | [00:21] |
asciilifeform: | they gotta impose the star topology. | [00:21] |
trinque: | I hear there are reasons, and it's because of them. | [00:25] |
mircea_popescu: | asciilifeform certainly. | [00:57] |
mircea_popescu: | heh the ai-nsfw crap is almost amusing. | [00:59] |
mircea_popescu: | trinque africa needs a currency like hillary needs anal lube. | [01:01] |
mircea_popescu: | and in other lulz, if your name was broderick and you had a daughter, how could you not name her limerick. | [01:17] |

asciilifeform: | 'The Defendant has also communicated online with others in languages other than English, including in Russian, and in June 2016 downloaded information regarding the Russian language as well as other foreign languages.' << mega-crime | [09:56] |
asciilifeform: | didjaknow. | [09:56] |
asciilifeform: | 'There is evidence that he has remote data storage accounts and has engaged in encrypted communications. The Defendant also had encrypted communication and cloud storage apps installed on his mobile device.' << mega-lel. | [09:58] |
asciilifeform: | funny how they put the 'cloud storage' in the bail denial affidavit, but have not yet even bothered to parallelconstruct some reason ~other than it~ for how the d00d could have been caught. | [10:02] |
asciilifeform: | (for folks who have not heard of this show trial - harold martin worked at nsa-tao and was arrested for, supposedly, taking the contents home by the crate.) | [10:07] |
asciilifeform: | 'In a review of the digital information seized from the Defendant, the government found a letter, apparently created in 2007, which was addressed to government employees with whom he worked, and signed “Hal.” In the letter, the Defendant refers to his co-workers as “clowns” and criticizes the government’s digital security measures: Well, for one thing, I’ve seen pretty much all your tech secrets wrt [sic] regard to compus | [10:09] |
asciilifeform: | ec [computer security]. Thanks. You made me a much better infosec [information security] practitioner. In exchange, well, I gave you my time, and you failed to allow me to help you... You are missing most of the basics in security practice, while thinking you are the best. It’s the bread and butter stuff that will trip you up. Trust me on this one. Seen it.... Dudes/Dudettes, I can’t make this any plainer... Listen up . . . ‘Th | [10:09] |
asciilifeform: | ey’ are inside the perimeter. . . I’ll leave you with this: if you don’t get obnoxious, obvious, and detrimental to my future, then I will not bring you ‘into the light’, as it were. If you do, well, remember that you did it to yourselves. The antipathy demonstrated in this letter raises grave concerns about the Defendant’s intentions and potential actions should he be released.' | [10:09] |
BingoBoingo: | tyvm alf for the find | [10:45] |
deedbot: | http://qntra.net/2016/10/prosecutors-forget-to-parallel-construct-that-harold-t-martins-mistake-was-trusting-cloud-storage-providers-in-bail-denial-affidavit/ << Qntra - Prosecutors Forget To Parallel Construct That Harold T. Martin's Mistake Was Trusting Cloud Storage Providers In Bail Denial Affidavit | [10:47] |
mircea_popescu: | asciilifeform pretty lulzy. | [10:54] |
mircea_popescu: | also quite accurate. | [10:54] |
asciilifeform: | BingoBoingo: mistake-was -> mistake-wasn't ? | [11:10] |
BingoBoingo: | asciilifeform: He used cloud storage apps so his mistake was trusting them? Even if he was dumping encrypted blobs. | [11:12] |
asciilifeform: | well yes | [11:12] |
asciilifeform: | but 'parallel construct' means the creation of some smoke screen | [11:12] |
asciilifeform: | e.g., 'he blabbed to his mother' or the like. | [11:12] |
mircea_popescu: | they evidently don't know what's in [at least some] of them. however they do know who he is. metadata. | [11:12] |
asciilifeform: | which afaik the prosecutor has not yet spewed forth. | [11:13] |
mircea_popescu: | asciilifeform they've got real sloppy with it, partly because nobody buys it anyway, partly because bureaucrats are deeply uncreative (in this case, practically : affraid of "revealing" shit through the pc. as if they actually had something left to reveal.) | [11:13] |
asciilifeform: | so the sentence would go 'prosecutors forget to parallel construct that ... martin's mistake wasn't ... cloud' | [11:13] |
BingoBoingo: | AH: "Prosecutors Forget To Parallel Construct Away That Harold T. Martin's Mistake Was Trusting Cloud Storage Providers In Bail Denial Affidavit" -- New TItle | [11:13] |
asciilifeform: | aha, or this. | [11:13] |
asciilifeform: | mircea_popescu: i dun get why they even mentioned 'cloud', it gave the card trick away in, srsly, 30 seconds of my reading | [11:14] |
asciilifeform: | gotta be a deliberate taunt to the audience. | [11:14] |
mircea_popescu: | because bread and butter stuff gets them ? | [11:14] |

mircea_popescu: | stupidity is the occam selection. | [11:15] |
asciilifeform: | the defense's affidavit (included) was also lulzy, evidently they had 1-3 of these per year, none were publicized. this time they needed a public scapegoat, so. | [11:17] |
mircea_popescu: | myeah. | [11:18] |
asciilifeform: | re: 'cloud', imho the hypothesis that ~this was~ the parallelconstruction, cannot be dismissed. | [11:19] |
asciilifeform: | possibly d00d was not an idiot, and never touched 'clouds.' | [11:19] |
asciilifeform: | they created - for him. | [11:19] |
asciilifeform: | (whereas he was caught in some other way, e.g. by a politruk.) | [11:19] |
mircea_popescu: | if they did or if they didn't, the "i had nothing to do with it" defense is ironclad as far as that goes. | [11:20] |
asciilifeform: | dunno that there is a defense. the penal code article he was arrested under is a 'strict liability'. | [11:20] |
asciilifeform: | i.e. 'did the rape? do the ape' | [11:20] |
mircea_popescu: | strict liability for what ? | [11:21] |
asciilifeform: | found with the stash | [11:21] |
mircea_popescu: | "i never saw this before" | [11:21] |
asciilifeform: | the only defense, afaik, that could be attempted, was 'they planted it' | [11:21] |
asciilifeform: | aha. | [11:21] |
mircea_popescu: | "so how come it's there ?" "you planted it" no we didn't" "mkay" | [11:21] |
asciilifeform: | and it would appear that his wife has already turned rat. | [11:22] |
mircea_popescu: | "it's your house" "it's not legal for me to shoot intruders, so no, it's your house" | [11:22] |
asciilifeform: | so he's through. | [11:22] |
mircea_popescu: | hey, marriage is for suckers. | [11:22] |
asciilifeform: | eh if he had no wife, it'd be some other rat. | [11:22] |
mircea_popescu: | how ? "i never saw her before." | [11:22] |
asciilifeform: | lel, brilliant, it's a marvel that anybody ever gets imprisoned, if it were so easy.. | [11:23] |
mircea_popescu: | these are different matters. | [11:23] |
mircea_popescu: | the defense is still ironclad. that they stick him in jail anyway is entirely their problem. | [11:23] |
asciilifeform: | i suspect that the folks for whom 'the defense is ironclad' they simply nailgun. | [11:24] |
asciilifeform: | and we never hear of it. | [11:24] |
mircea_popescu: | maybe. | [11:24] |
asciilifeform: | 'When confronted with specific marked documents he had stolen, only then did the Defendant begin to admit that: (1) he had taken documents and digital files that he knew were classified from his work assignment to his residence and vehicle, and (2) he knew such actions were unauthorized and wrong. He also admitted that he had committed these crimes regularly over many years.' | [11:28] |
asciilifeform: | confessed, supposedly. | [11:28] |
mircea_popescu: | heh | [11:29] |
asciilifeform: | btw i doubt that it would take otto skorzeny and his merry men, to break martin out of the clink. if he were 'valuable', as prosecutor alleges, he would already be in moscow. | [11:30] |
mircea_popescu: | usians are weird about "The country" | [11:35] |
asciilifeform: | hm? | [11:35] |
mircea_popescu: | he prolly didn't want to leave | [11:51] |
asciilifeform: | expected to hide among the grizzlies in the forest, or wat. | [11:52] |
mircea_popescu: | no, just, idiot born in the us, doesn't comprehend how utterly irrelevant it is. because "THE COUNTRY" | [11:53] |
asciilifeform: | i'd naively picture that if d00d made up his mind to plunder the crown jewels, he would have an escape plan (even if nonsensical, like, e.g., carl force's) in his head. but no. | [11:54] |
mircea_popescu: | can't leave "\the country" | [11:54] |
trinque: | could've been entirely power fantasy he's outsmarted "teh best (tm)" after all | [11:55] |
asciilifeform: | it isn't even as if he would have to leave penniless and beg on streets. | [11:55] |
trinque: | piles of docs could've been his closet full of women's shoes/underwear/pinky-toes too | [11:56] |

mircea_popescu: | well then let them l themselves. | [14:39] |
mircea_popescu: | and in other news nobody gives a shit about : the argentine govt announced an "amnesty" whereby idiots with cash in strongboxes/matresses etc can "blanquear" it, by depositing it in a bank and paying 11% in tax ("to begin with"). same applies to foreign holdings. | [14:41] |
mircea_popescu: | this generous measure of voluntary self-rape "ends" on 31st, after being extended a coupla times. meanwhile the govt has been piling on debt at about 2x the rate of the kirscheristas. | [14:42] |
mircea_popescu: | seeing how the other, with expatriated goods, ends in march, i would expect the reasonable time for argentina to faceplant in the mud would be about april. | [14:42] |

asciilifeform: | what's the excuse for the vacuum job, devaluation a la ruble ? | [14:43] |
mircea_popescu: | the real estate market is holding by a thread. to understand each other : in the same country where the bumpkins imagine real estate goes by 1000-1500 usd per sq meter, they have SERIOUS problems over xmas bonus worth 2000 pesos (~120 dollars), to the point it's a major topic of televised debates. | [14:44] |
mircea_popescu: | sales are down to nothing, the people are utterly desperate for food and other basics. girls still wanna marry, this year like all others. etc. | [14:44] |
mircea_popescu: | the ~only hope to maintain the pretense is by putting a lot of pressure on the monetary supply. so... they will. | [14:44] |
mircea_popescu: | not like the average "middle class" (in his mind only) argentine has any other resources besides renting out an apartment and expecting govt payola for his university "education". neither of which look too good at the moment. | [14:46] |
asciilifeform: | who are the renters? | [14:47] |
mircea_popescu: | ~everyone. this is the profile of middle class argentinian family : unemployed man que es letrado (=with a law degree, never practiced) + homemaker and their teenaged 2.2 kids, living off a) the man's income from governmental sinecures + the woman's income from her parents' appointed dowry in the shape of real estate. this is it. | [14:48] |
mircea_popescu: | they have ~500k units privately held by ~3mn owners in bizarro clan arrangements, and virtually no commercial rental market to speak of. | [14:49] |
asciilifeform: | sooo... they rent apt with... the income from their inherited apt ..? | [14:49] |
asciilifeform: | wai. | [14:49] |
mircea_popescu: | no, they own one and rent another. | [14:49] |

mircea_popescu: | not nearly as energy efficient however. | [14:49] |
mircea_popescu: | anyway. the girls wanna marry, the boys dun wanna live with the inlaws, the old folks don't want to move to the old folks' home at 44 (you should see a) how many of those they have here, must be over 5k distinct old folks homes and b) how many of these stupid cunts are saddled with 2-3 kids aged 20something and looking for a new mate. bitch, seriousy ? go suck your babby momma's cock, you're off the market) and the girls got | [14:51] |

mircea_popescu: | it's set to blow. | [14:51] |
mircea_popescu: | oh : and soy is down in chicago, and is trending down, and the chinese announced they're dropping 20% of maize to plant more soy in mainland china. | [14:53] |

mircea_popescu: | i guess they must. | [14:56] |
asciilifeform: | iirc mats is one | [14:56] |
mircea_popescu: | asciilifeform oh were you asking who pays the rents ? | [14:57] |
mircea_popescu: | working class argentines, principally, who live about 6-8 to a 500sqft apt. | [14:57] |
asciilifeform: | aah | [14:58] |
mircea_popescu: | these can be workers hoping to make it in the great urban village with its supposed "vida de noche" etc. they were defrauded. | [14:58] |
mircea_popescu: | these can also be students hoping to acquire the official letters patent and become middle class | [14:58] |
mircea_popescu: | they were also defrauded. | [14:58] |
mircea_popescu: | the occasionally buyer of local cunt. these are oscillating between very amused and utterly infuriated. | [14:58] |
mircea_popescu: | anyway, it's funny, you know, "why should i dump everything and worship the gringo ?" "because his women live two to the apartment rather than eight." | [15:00] |
ben_vulpes: | mircea_popescu: aye, i could do something like that. | [15:07] |

mircea_popescu: | anyway, how's things states-side ? everyone bracing down for the inevitable bombing campaigns of the russian-iranian coallition joint "peacekeeping" missions once the democratically elected president is deposed by a military junta led by an ex-wife of an ex-president ? | [15:13] |
