04:39 mircea_popescu BingoBoingo item is markedly better in that it contains factual details ; still not great in that the details there present are disorganised, not evidently sorted into a complete tree with branches clipped by an obvious importance criteria and so on.
04:47 mircea_popescu definitely acceptable for first month anyway, i'd say.

07:47 mircea_popescu hola
07:48 shinohai Espero k tengas un dia muy bestial! =^.^=
07:48 RagnarDanneskjol I am totally with you on "where is it written" Fuckin A, these Cali chicks always trying to prove something in the sac. I'm having the same conversation all the time - 'where is it written that you have to grind my dick off like a jackhammer before you even start to get wet?
07:48 mircea_popescu o.O
07:49 mircea_popescu i can't say i've had the experience. but... sounds like they're trying to overperform to impress ? not a bad trait it itself.
07:49 RagnarDanneskjol Could have worse problems, yes
07:52 shinohai I shall have to purchase a pin meter and hire the services of 10-20 women to test this hypothesis .....
07:52 RagnarDanneskjol heh
07:53 RagnarDanneskjol MP - I tried to follow the 'girl worker at a desk in Beijing' conversation, but not quite clear on the requirement there - anything I can do to help? I know lots of ppl in BJ and will be there for work next week.
07:55 mircea_popescu well, we're looking to hire a local.
07:56 RagnarDanneskjol got that much
07:57 RagnarDanneskjol he or she needs to be able to take calls in Chinese , English and be able to do what else approximately?
07:59 mircea_popescu spend the usual 200 hours/week connected to irc and doing whatever clerical tasks provided. must be native chinese speaker with a reasonable command of english, she's not expected to take calls or anything in it.
08:00 RagnarDanneskjol ah ok, will send anyone i find that seems competent. Preference is located in BJ or surrounding areas for some reason?
08:01 mircea_popescu not specifically. can reside wherever, but not much interest in country girl chained-to-the-land mentalities.
08:02 RagnarDanneskjol ok

11:23 mircea_popescu "not breaking the law is a crime!"
11:24 asciilifeform the '10,000' thing also has an element of 'torbrowserism' -- to spread the notion, among the simple, that 'it has to be >10k to be seen'
11:26 asciilifeform and on top is this, there is ~state~ level copy of same apparatus. e.g. in asciilifeform's local moneychangery, there is a placard, hanging in plain sight , re 'to cachiers: you MUST report all tx of 2k or larger, even if customer was regular for decades, by order of maryland something-or-other commission'

15:01 mircea_popescu heh
15:01 asciilifeform they can have a 1938 if they feel like, wainot
15:02 asciilifeform the moar, the merrier.

15:03 asciilifeform 'The conference was spearheaded by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, who is pushing an ambitious reform plan that is aimed at reducing the country's dependence on oil over the next decade. The prince is also leading the anti-corruption committee that has the authority to investigate, arrest, issue travel bans and freeze the assets of those it finds corrupt.' << lol!
15:03 mircea_popescu oh i see, it's the even friendlier us ?
15:03 asciilifeform afaik 'anticorruption' only ever means 1 thing
15:03 mircea_popescu "we're running out of money, tax the provinces" ?
15:04 asciilifeform aha
15:04 mircea_popescu hey, the saudis have a lot of paper moneyz.
15:05 asciilifeform possibly gotta 1938 the wrong-chirality bluebloods who want to spend it in usg-unapproved ways (e.g. btc) ..?

15:06 mircea_popescu "richest guy on planet" could not afford tanks and missile launchers enough to dispose of "new anti-corruption unit" ?
15:07 mircea_popescu idjits don't know when to open fire, keep waiting for "a better day".

16:08 diana_coman hmm, I suppose I could run a trial test on a batch of generated public exponents with co-prime rather than strict prime requirements, to see what small factors are there but not sure if this will say a lot really in itself; fwiw I don't feel particularly comfortable with the idea of a non-prime public exponent but I don't have mathematical proof for weakness introduced, hence my question
