why would bloomberg et al necessarily know anything of it |

wouldn't necessarily know anything, no. nevertheless... what government do they sell to ? turkmenistan ? |
| 02:03 |

these outfits don't normally sell to governments (outside of turkmenistan's weight class) - these issue gear to own personnel - |

IMHO, the differences between #b-a and /pol/ are many. /pol/ doesn't like it when they're censored and complains about how unfair things are. MP, and ascii both look ahead and see the need for WoTnet. MP commissions it out of pocket. |

mircea_popescu: possibly the fpga/dragonfly thread relates. |
| 14:44 |
mircea_popescu |
in any case, claiming a z80 and a pentium 6 are "99.84% identical" on the grounds of mass spectrometry is about as apt. |
| 14:44 |
asciilifeform |
(re: 'junk') |
| 14:45 |
Adlai |
not when you set out to discover which changes it effects in the ALU, and then say, "oh, eip never points at the ceramics, thus they're useless" |
| 14:45 |
mircea_popescu |
still not very valid a comparison, because no thiamine ever links to.. acell wall. |
| 14:46 |
asciilifeform |
you won't find it linking to 'oxygen must have 16 protons' either |
| 14:47 |
Adlai |
a better way of saying this is that: while dna is a great example of "code is data"; most of the data not being code for gene transcription does not directly imply that it has no other use |
| 14:47 |
asciilifeform |
and yes, one of my ancient beefs with biological 'state of the art' is that folks deliberately ignore non-genetic mechanisms of inheritance |
| 14:47 |
asciilifeform |
because there be dragons or somesuch. |
| 14:47 |
mircea_popescu |
yeah, but now you're arguing with a straw man. i never said it doesn't, i just said as far as we know, it might as well not. |
| 14:48 |
mircea_popescu |
and if as far as we know it might as well not, that makes 84% or w/e comparisons untenable. irrespective of what may or may not be the case. |
| 14:48 |
Adlai |
for example, some dna plays the role of attracting (or repelling) the transcription machinery, to influence which other dna gets transcribed |
| 14:48 |
mircea_popescu |
perhaps. |

though the 'fight russia' part was more churchill's concept |
| 23:32 |

or patton's. |

certainly stalin and stierlitz managed convince fdr that he had 'won' |
| 23:33 |

popular enough concept that it formed the entire backplot of '17 moments of spring' (su mega-cult-classic film) |
| 23:34 |

the hero's entire intelligence mission was to determine which german is leading the 'separate peace talks' |
| 23:34 |
asciilifeform |
(and how far along) |

my favourite apocryphal scene is where a german general, seeing french flags, asked 'did we lose to -them- as well' ? |

(not from film, must point out, but from legend) |

it seems the more likely explanation is yarvin's supposition - russia was playing 'hard to get' and fdr and his staff wanted russia 'even more' |

<mircea_popescu> or patton's. << I'm a Patton truther. He was assasinated to keep the war from running another decade, |

i find mr mold to be astonishingly clueless on this subject, and can't even recall off hand what his position was - |
| 23:36 |
asciilifeform |
i garbage-collected it from brain. |

BingoBoingo: as per https://www.uwgb.edu/dutchs/PSEUDOSC/ConspirThx.htm ? |

I recall a post about the us ambassador trying to become stalin's boyfriend |

mircea_popescu |
BingoBoingo iirc his proposition to just bomb the suckers and ride tanks to china is well documented. |
| 23:38 |

asciilifeform: Not the part where he planned to resign. More in line with MP, if he lived he would have started the next war by July. |
| 23:39 |
asciilifeform |
why the pause ? |
| 23:39 |
asciilifeform |
at least churchill's thing made elementary sense |
| 23:39 |

(use the germans while there's still something to use) |

yarvin was also pushing the 'stalin was gonna attack' theory |
| 23:40 |
mircea_popescu |
eh stalin wasn't going to attack. |
| 23:40 |
mircea_popescu |
the one point of danger was once stalin died. |

cribbed from rezun (pen name 'suvorov', in imitation of the general) |

(mega-revisionary history fella, craps out tome after tome re: 'stalin was planning to attack') |
| 23:41 |

asciilifeform: Because he was already paused. re-arming the Germans would have probably taken some time |
| 23:41 |

i tried to track down which of these mr mold may have read, |
| 23:41 |
asciilifeform |
and did not turn up any which had been translated (at the time) to engl. |
| 23:41 |
mircea_popescu |
had beria not been pro-us, but symetrically anti, the fulda gap'd have been taken in a week and well... russia from sea to sea. |
| 23:41 |
asciilifeform |
other than his - unrelated - works on su military intelligence (from which he was an escapee) |
| 23:41 |
mircea_popescu |
possibly the most impressive success of us diplomacy to date - the recruitment of beria. |
| 23:42 |
BingoBoingo |
In his life Patton hated 3 things most: Nazis, Commies, and Louisiana |
| 23:42 |
asciilifeform |
the public data suggests 'useful idiot' rather than asset |
| 23:42 |

asciilifeform did not recruit him, cannot say |
| 23:43 |
BingoBoingo |
Well, maybe Montgomery is #2 |
