Re: of elephants and men, and scumbags

[jamesd]

Within my lifetime there have been two enormous mass murders committed 
by the left overseas, and each of them was simultaneously supported and 
denied by the American left.


I ceased to be a leftist when I saw the flood of refugees fleeing the 
bloodbath in Vietnam and fleeing the Khmer Rouge autogenocide, not so 
much because these enormous crimes horrified me, but because the 
reaction of my fellow leftists to these gigantic crimes horrified me.


And, since that is how they reacted to the liquidation of the kulaks, 
the great leap forward, the Vietnamese bloodbath, and the Cambodian 
autogenocide, that is likely what is coming for America.

Re: of elephants and men, and scumbags

[jamesd]

The left enthusiastically supported and indignantly denied the 
liquidation of the Kulaks until Khruschev's secret speech, long after 
the liquidation


The left enthusiastically supported and indignantly denied the Cambodian 
autogenocide, until the Vietnamese invaded and conquered, three years 
after the autogenocide had been widely publicized.


The left enthusiastically supported and indignantly denied the 
Vietnamese bloodbath, and continue to deny it to this day.

Re: of elephants and men, and scumbags

[jamesd]

The world knew of the mass murders in Vietnam and autogenocide of 
Cambodia through the enormous flood of refugees produced by these 
enormous crimes.


The left responded to both crimes in exactly the same way, 
simultaneously gleefully rejoicing and smarmily denying.


Only after the Vietnamese communists defeated the Cambodian communists, 
did they suddenly then declare, three years later, that the Cambodian 
autogenocide had happened and was a very bad thing - while continuing to 
deny the Vietnamese bloodbath.

Re: of elephants and men, and scumbags

[jamesd]

The left rejoiced at the liquidation of the kulaks, and only got around 
to saying it was a bad thing when Stalin was condemned in the secret speech.


They rejoiced in the Vietnamese bloodbath at the same time as they 
denied it.


They rejoiced in the Cambodian bloodbath at the same time as they 
denied, and then suddenly changed their tune when the Vietnamese 
communists conquered the Cambodian communists.

The supposed mechanism by which the Pentagon empowered the Khmer Rouge 
was by bombing the hell out of them, which story does not make any sense 
at all, and in any case the bombing stopped two years before they took 
power, so looks like it was effective in stopping them for as long as it 
lasted.

And the predicted bloodbath in Vietnam did in fact take place as 
expected and predicted, and all you guys loved it at the same time as 
you denied.  It supposedly was not happening, and the victims supposedly 
really deserved it.

LMAO!! pentagon agent, torbot, troll detected. 

bottom line, don't use this 'service' at all. 

public Freenet webGUI

[damiengray]

Ever wonder what's on Freenet? If you're curious, there's a public FProxy 
webGUI at http://gel2bzjxrvcmqpji.onion: 
. It's part of a darknet on the Tor 
OnionCat IPv6 overlay network. The other 20 peers are listed here: 
http://zerobinqmdqd236y.onion/?ceffbd4a36f954e0#UTW52y4tvML8B0Wwu9i3Wl2BhbGruntf6k1f0kScz+Y=
 
.
 
It runs in a Debain 8.11 Docker container, which is hosted in a Debain 9.6.0 
KVM domain, and that in turn is hosted on a Ubuntu 18.10 KVM VPS. Iptables 
rules at VPS and KVM domain levels block all Internet access except through Tor 
and OnionCat.I'll check it periodically. If someone has broken it, I'll restart 
the Docker container. If someone has managed to break the KVM domain, I'll 
restore that from backup. And if someone has gone the extra mile to break the 
VPS, I'll restore that from backup.
This may seem bizarre to privacy lovers. I mean, I could be logging everything! 
But the point is providing easy-to-use access to Freenet that's secured from 
third parties. If you decide that it's worth the hassle, I recommend running 
your own node, connecting through OnionCat IPv6 peers. Or through I2P GarlicCat 
peers, if you like.
While I could be logging everything, that's arguably more-or-less irrelevant, 
because Tor renders you and the node mutually anonymous. Not perfectly 
anonymous, true. But there's arguably little risk, unless you and/or the node 
have been targeted. Just be prudent. Especially be prudent about downloading 
files from the node. I recommend using Whonix, on a machine with full-disk 
encryption. Or Tails, with encrypted USB storage.

ok - so that's roger ver babbling about how AMAZING coinbase is. It 
can't get any more fucked up than that can it. Ver says that he knows that it's 
'better' if people 'keep' their private keys BUT coinbase is AMAZING anyway, 
despite the fact that coinbase stands AGAINST everything that cryptocurrencies 
should stand for. And fucking ver knows it. But hey he sucks 'brian amrstrongs' 
dick anyway. 

any bcash fans might want to take notice and explain why ver says that 
=)

also, notice how ver and craig wright, also know as SATOSHI (hi hi hi), 
managed to sink the price of bcash, their own altcoin, from 620 to 390 in 2 
days. That's almost 40% down. Impressive =)

That's actually a good first-approximation, at least prior to the insertion of 
a few billion dollars of research into better optical methods.  I recall an 
analogy, 'How do you draw a 1 millimeter line on paper, if you only have a 
5-millimeter paintbrush?" 
  In the 1960's and much of the 1970's, they used something called "contact 
printing", basically pressing a chromium-on-quartz optical mask onto the wafer 
with the photoresist previously applied.  That worked, except that the masks 
didn't last very long.  Then they went to "projection printers", which 
separated the mask from the wafers.  Then, they went to "step and repeat" 
systems   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stepper   , which projected only the 
image of a single chip onto the wafer at a time, precisely repeated across the 
area of the wafer.
  "Steppers", as they were called, became important because it was hard to 
match the temperature coefficient  of expansion of a silicon wafer   
http://www.ioffe.ru/SVA/NSM/Semicond/Si/thermal.html  2.6 ppm/degree C, to the 
temperature coefficient of a silica photomask  
https://www.accuratus.com/fused.html   0.55 ppm/degree C.  Consider that if the 
feature-size they wish to draw is 100 nanometer, and the distance across the 
(silicon) wafer is 300 millimeters.  That's 1 part in 3 million!!!   They would 
have had to thermostat the temperatures of the silicon and silica to well 
better than 0.1 degrees C!! Using a wafer-stepper meant that they only had to 
do this alignment over a relatively small distance, maybe about 1 centimeter.  
Far easier than 30 centimeters. 
×
I have seen articles about the various weird optical tricks used to allow the 
writing of much-less-than-wavelength features on chips.  I think one was in 
Scientific American about 10 years ago.   In these, the mask looks little like 
the eventual features you want to produce:  They "pre-calculate" the various 
optical distortions that they know the light will be subjected to, along with 
issues such as the sensitivity of the photoresist. 

However, these 'tricks' eventually run out of gas.  For a long time, they used 
193 nanometer UV "light", https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photolithography     
That was somewhat of a limit, mostly because they could not find an easy way to 
generate UV at a shorter wavelength than 193.  


>>(using a lot of photolithographic 'tricks' to do so!.)  Now, I think they

>>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extreme_ultraviolet     


 >   Yeah, the accuracy is impressive. Now, from a libertarian point of view, 
there's a huge accumulation of knowledge and 'capital' in the hands of very few 
people. Also, many of these  developments are govt subsidized in many ways and 
end up in the hands of a few monopolistic businesses. What this boils down to 
of course is the fact that the infrastructure is fully controlled by the enemy. 

There is still a lot of chip-making which does not need  to be done at these 
"bleeding-edge" levels.  Microprocessors and memory chips, primarily, need to 
have the smallest features.

I KNOW it's a total fucking waste of time to even respond to garbage like this 
but I feel the need to point out the Khmer Rouge were empowered by the US 
government and Pentagram, and certainly weren't  "left" of anything. But they 
ARE the goto diversionary narrative whenever schmucks like this mention the 
alleged genocide in Vietnam that never occurred in the wake of the US 
rout-departure.

Scumbags like James are the people who spit on US soldiers returning from 
Vietnam, so it could be blamed on antiwar protesters who weren't even allowed 
near returning soldier's points of departure and return.

Redefining the Kilogram

[jim bell]

https://www.engadget.com/2018/11/16/kilogram-officially-redefined/

Today, scientists voted to change the definition of the kilogram as well as 
three other units of measurement -- the ampere, the kelvin and the mole. The 
vote took place at the General Conference on Weights and Measures in 
Versailles, France and the new definitions will be based on "what we call the 
fundamental constants of nature," as Estefanía de Mirandés of the International 
Bureau of Weights and Measures (BIPM) told Science News, instead of the less 
precise definitions these measurements are currently tied to. The kilogram, for 
example, is defined by a physical cylinder known as Le Grand K that's stored in 
a vault outside of Paris.

These redefinitions have been in the works for some time. "This is the most 
important decision that the BIPM has made in maybe 100 years, which may be a 
slight exaggeration, but at least since 1960 when they adopted the 
International System of Units," Terry Quinn, emeritus director of the BIPM, 
told Engadget last year. And while the changes won't necessarily be reflected 
in your day to day life, they'll help scientists make more accurate 
measurements going forward.
