Report: Outbreak Of "Misinformed Fuckwit" Spreading 10K times Faster Than Coronavirus
by Razer 09 Feb '20

09 Feb '20

"TORONTO – Public health officials in Toronto have confirmed its first 50,000 cases of being a misinformed fuckwit as xenophobic conspiracy theories and tales of false cures continue to spread across social media. “Becoming a complete moron during an infectious disease outbreak is far more viral than we first thought,” said Dr. Jeanne Smith of Toronto Public Health. “Fact resistance is abnormally high especially among the dullard population, and the bottom 5% of your graduating high school class.” Tens of thousands of people were affected by a novel fake news claim that the Chinese government was developing coronavirus at Canada’s National Microbiology Lab leaving at least 10,000 people stupider. Patients are usually asymptomatic until they open their mouths or start tweeting. Aunts spreading rumours about 100% natural cures for the virus on Facebook have been quarantined while racist uncles at dinner tables were ball-gagged as a precaution. “Our epidemiologists are working hard to identify idiot zero, but there might be more sporadic outbreaks of coronavirus-related imbecility,” added Dr. Smith. Meanwhile, health officials are dreading teaching the population a complicated prevention technique: washing your hands." https://www.thebeaverton.com/2020/01/report-outbreak-of-idiocy-spreading-10…

Blockchain: RFC
by other.arkitech 07 Feb '20

07 Feb '20

Dear friends, Request For Criticism about what I've written: Current blockchains are all genesis-block based, which means they are ever-growing structures. Aside of being under the effects of an elastic-gum force that complicates their scalability in size, there exist problems scaling on addresses or scaling on bandwith. What touches to cryptography comes straight when dealing of ever-growing structures. Such a buried pile of layers of information requires consideration because it contains cryptography of past times. There are two problems with that. 1.- can expire secrets. 2.- The runtime software must be equiped with all cypher-suites used in the past, including those too old to rely on who were already cracked, broken. A challenge is the to design a platform that does not depend on cypher-suites that were needed in the past. Once a new encryption technology deprecates another, the platform must be able to replace the cypher-suite and forget about the previous one. Thanks, Regards : ) -- OA

Reporters - Women and snakes? - Snake Literally Teaches Female Reporter A Lesson
by Zig the N.g 06 Feb '20

06 Feb '20

Chad snake literally tries to stop female Aussie reporter from reporting. What it is with women and snakes? A female reporter in this instance was sent an incredible, and unmistakable message as it quite literally wrapped itself around a deadly Australian snake as the snake tried desperately to stop it from speaking into the microphone, which the snake valiantly and repeatedly attacked. Unsure yet if Australian reporter Sarah Cawte caught the message the snake diligently tried to send. Astounding that a snake should have such wisdom about reporters - female reporters inparticurary! The truth of the depravity of its public "reporting" shall undoubtedly be discovered over the coming hours as citizen twitter sleuths do their work. Stay tuned.

Now Blind Man's Bluff shows for the first time how the Navy sent subs wired with self-destruct charges into the heart of Soviet seas to tap crucial underwater telephone cables. It unveils how the Navy's own negligence might have been responsible for the loss of the USS Scorpion, a submarine that disappeared, with all hands lost, 30 years ago. It tells the complete story of the audacious attempt to steal a Soviet submarine with the help of eccentric billionaire Howard Hughes, and how it was doomed from the start. And it reveals how the Navy used the comforting notion of deep-sea rescue vehicles to hide operations that were more James Bond than Jacques Cousteau. infohash:F7FB23B6CCB1BF5CBCC28D49E3B4956B64A73638 It would sound like whales humping or a seismic anomaly. Anything but a submarine... What is the turn radius of an SR-71 going at full speed? Montana.
