IQNets - low b/w end user nodes - maximise 'user experience'
by Zenaan Harkness 09 May '20

09 May '20

End user nodes which have low or relatively low total bandwidth BW, Node End-user Low Bandwidth => NELB might usefully provide only small or "marginal" b/w links, and link contracts with reduced time T. Where the end user 'experience' arising from his available b/w is already reduced/low/frustrating, any overlay which treats that end user as anything but an "mostly end user only" node, will likely be switched off/ disabled/ uninstalled, by said end user. So for a "compelling user experience", at least with NELBs, by default we ought limit both time duration T and bandwidth BW, for all link contracts handed out to incoming requests. Low T means "problematic" (from end user experience point of view) link contracts will time out "relatively soon". Low BW, as a percentage of total NELB BW, should minimize "obtrusive slowdowns due to the overlay net", again, from the end user perspective. Some aggregate numbers of global Internet users, e.g. "how many Internet users, globally, onramp at X kbps b/w?" Presumably there are still millions who have sub 256kbps? In any case, with the limit case, at least for certain groups of users, being groups of such low b/w links, a useful overlay net must usefully use "many micro connections". We can at some point test and establish useful minimum T and minimum BW for T. To optimize for such lithe links (rather, link contracts), we need to minimize "overlay network switch contract nego" latency. So various previously listed concepts are essential at the core of the overlay net - seamless utilization of many "micro" links, link aggregation, seamless handling of links that drop out, possibly fan-out (single high BW to many low BW) and fan-in hops, etc.

[PEACE] - Islam is Right about women - Re: Sydney Islamic Activists: If You Oppose Chopping Off Hands, You’re Intolerant
by Zenaan Harkness 06 May '20

06 May '20

One of the greatest "protest" memes ever, is the signs going around that proclaim simply "Islam is Right about Women". This puts women "libbers" and minority promoting morons, in a total bind: If they agree with the assertion "Islam is right about women", they have to take a position opposing women, or at least opposing the Western view of "women are the same as men and must be treated equally in all things". And if they disagree with the assertion "Islam is right about women", then they must oppose their "support all minorities indiscriminately" dogma. And so because they are programmed, indiscriminate, dogmatic, intolerant in the name of tolerance, sheeple, their minds go into a form of apoplexy, unable to process their own hypocrisy and unthinking obedience to PC dogma, and their sole remaining neurone goes into spasms. Of course, such disconnects from reality never stopped their zealous from their own moronicity. Le beste meme, of 20 19 :) Islam is RIGHT about women https://barenakedislam.com/2019/09/22/islam-is-right-about-women/ Boston 25 News reports “It was just upsetting, I just didn’t like it, it just wasn’t necessary to be up and out in the streets,” said Anita Davison, who ripped down the signs and took the story straight to social media. “It’s either about women, it’s either about Islam, it’s about both, I’m not really sure what point they were trying to make — either way it was just, it was terrible,” Davison said. [Much juicy, so juicy, factual, juicy and factual material about women, from the Koran, omitted :D] ... As James N. Kennett noted on Steve Sailer’s blog: If you say Islam Is RIGHT About Women then you are guilty of hate speech. On the other hand, if you say Islam Is WRONG About Women then you are guilty of hate speech. Go figure. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DqBkuC4Oh-g "Islam is Right About Women" - The Best Meme of 2019? /September 24, 2019 https://johnmarksays.com/blog/2019/9/24/islam-is-right-about-women-the-best… “Islam is Right About Women.” These five words printed in plain text on an A4 leaf and duck-taped to a signpost constitute what is possibly the most powerful, and important, meme of 2019. “Islam is RIGHT about women” has sparked what anyone with an IQ above 130 would have immediately predicted upon reading these words: “confusion and anger” from the NPC class of Homo sapiens sapiens. At least that’s what they call it. We player characters (men and women of agency) call it cognitive dissonance. As you can see from this video, most people interviewed aren’t exactly sure what to make of it. Is this an attack on Islam? Or an attack on women? Or both? Or maybe it’s just a random right-wing troll that isn’t supposed to make any sense. You see, to come out and decry this poster as an attack on women is to acknowledge that Islam subjugates women, which is in direct conflict with the feminist egalitarian ideals of the West. But to come out and call this an attack on Islam, through the irony of saying the religion is “right”, is to (again) highlight the incompatibility of the Islamic patriarchy with the Western feminarchy. In five simple words, this meme destroys the narrative of inclusivity and diversity. Many on the Right will notice this cognitive dissonance, and find it amusing. But few will be brave enough to go a layer deeper and point to what this meme truthfully predicts for women: the West must choose which type of patriarchy it will have. Everyone who isn’t completely ignorant of the difficulties we are facing in the West today will recognise that Islam is stronger, growing faster, and maintaining its local hegemony in the Middle East far better than Western Civilisation is managing in its own geographic centres. The Islamic population in the West steadily grows, by both immigration and procreation, while our own birth rates continue to decline, and we don’t seem to be migrating into Islamic nations at all. It’s not hard to work out where this goes, even at current rates, with a bit of time passing. Islam is objectively stronger in the West than Christianity right now. No, I’m not saying that I’d like to live in an Islamic nation, or under Sharia Law, or within a global Caliphate. That would be disastrous, especially when one considers the peripheral drawbacks to the Islamic world, and the social ramifications of their religious superstitions. “Islam is right about women” signs spark outrage… but why? https://www.thedailybell.com/all-articles/news-analysis/islam-is-right-abou… ... One woman, offended by the signs, tore them down, and contacted the police. 2018: "It's OK to be White." 2019: "Islam is Right about Women."

Militia, law, impressment, guns, history

> such implicit arguments have frequently been cited by (mostly > liberal?) debaters, and much of the clueless populace, lacking any sort of > legal education, accepts them without apparent question.) The Anti-Gun crowd generally avoids quoting, analyzing and debating law and its historical context and reasons. This is because it simply does not support their Anti-Gun position. And because sidestepping needing to voice or contend with such things makes their agenda easier. It's also relavant that most of them have never spent an afternoon or year learning the sport, defense, hunting, law, comparative statistics, etc. Let alone been exposed to or explored larger free thought subjects such as... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Declaration_of_Independence https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right_of_secession https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_rights_and_legal_rights https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_law https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voluntaryism > Now, a state might hypothetically have a LAW requiring a militia > member to respond to a call. But that law would not necessarily > be Constitutional These sorts of "laws", including "mandatory service", taxes, etc are all immoral and against natural law... forcing somone to take an action, slavery, whatever you want others to do, them having done nothing to you. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conscientious_objector https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conscription https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impressment Took till 1995 for even the UN to begin to understand that conscription and impressment are wrong.
