Hang the regulators

Regulation-friendly cryptonauts remind me of the Girondin faction of the Great Revolution. https://docsouth.unc.edu/nc/bassett95/summary.html Bassett's view is that the Regulators did not wish to change the form or principle of their government, but simply wanted to make the colony's political process more equal. They wanted better economic conditions for everyone, instead of a system that benefited the colonial officials Meh.

Re: Julian Assange, Rapist?

The world is moving towards embracing the Swedish model for sexual-assault and rape and that is a good thing, though I personally prefer jury trials to the Inquisitorial model. GEOFFREY "sexual offence for a man to deliberately deceive a partner whose consent has been conditional upon his use of a condom" ROBERTSON The innocent man charged with rape doesn't act like Asshat did and jump-bail. The principled man charged with rape stands down from any responsible position while under that dark cloud - like Asshat didn't - despite advice from the better half of Wikileaks. Then - as I said - why not sue the CSM if you claim they're lying about your rape charge? And ASFAIK this statement still stands JULIAN " Being guilty of aggravated rape has nothing to do with our party" A. Broinowski. Wikileaks Party NSW candidate for au Senate. 2013. Then ' damage to the Au govt ' - give me a fuckin' break! "... Mr Assange agreed that some level of privacy was necessary for the successful operation of the military ..." http://www.abc.net.au/radionational/programs/drive/assange-i-can-rule-from-… JULIAN " ‘[The military] protects the sovereignty of Australia. It protects the independence of Australia.' ASSANGE July, 2013 NONE of Asshats barmy-army has ever dealt with this extraordinary statement of guilt. He's excusing this appalling rape among others https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahmudiyah_rape_and_killings Rapists - and rape apologists - like this one have all earned killing. Wikileaks apologists GO FUCK YOURSELF

1.102 exaflops/sec. (1.192 x 10**18) The fastest supercomputer is now located in the US https://share.newsbreak.com/173iiia0 "The Frontier system is based on Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE)'s CrayEX platform which houses AMD EPYC 64C 2GHz processors along with AMD Instinct 250X professional GPUs. According to PC Mag, there are more than 9,400 CPUs and 37,000 GPUs set up in 74 purpose-built cabinets which takes the tally of cores to 8,730,112. " "The combined computing power of these processing units was tested on an HPL benchmark which returned a score of 1.102 Exaflops (10 18) per second, the first for any supercomputer in the world. In comparison, Fugaku, which is theoretically an exascale supercomputer, manages a benchmark score of 442 petaflops per second. The Frontier system also features a 700 petabytes storage with HPE's Slingshot high-performance ethernet for data transfers. " "To ensure that the supercomputer does not overheat, 6,000 gallons (22,712 liters) of water are pumped through these cabinets every minute using four pumps, PC Mag reported. "

A tradition among the Zulu's, the Impi two horns tactic was also used by Hannibal at Cannae https://www.afr.com/policy/economy/conservative-activists-wage-war-on-the-w… For Vivek Ramaswamy, a conservative entrepreneur and author, this backlash is an overdue reaction to elite over-reach. This month, he raised more than $US20 million ($27 million) from libertarian tech investor Peter Thiel and others for an anti-ESG investment group, declaring that it would happily invest in the oil and gas stocks that big asset managers increasingly shun.
