GYM DUMBBELL keeps attacking this list
by professor rat 04 Aug '22

04 Aug '22

Why does Gym Dumbbell hate our anarchist freedoms so much that he wants to go on list Death Row along with Gramps, Semich and Juan the Nazi-skunk, Garofalo? There is no immediate threat to cryptography from anywhere and that is the best present consensus. Those spreading FUD about threats to cryptography are no better than journalists, most of whom are the scum-of-the-earth. In particular quantum-computing holds out the promise of full cryptoanarchy almost overnight. Its a FEATURE - not a BUG. Something really bad happened to Jim Bell a few years ago and he's effectively brain-dead. Replaced by a disgusting list troll I call " Gym Dumbbell ' who has now earned killing. Fuck him and all who sail in him - There he goes! GET HIM!

Fucking hell. yeah it shouldn't be a surprise, but I'm still somewhat surprised. It took me a while to figure out that my messages sent to microshit's hotmail were being maliciously and criminally deleted. I would get messages from friends who use hotmail, reply to them and never realize my replies were being deleted. And then the joogle nazis started doing the same thing.

SciTechDaily: The Million Dollar Problem That Could Break Cryptography

SciTechDaily: The Million Dollar Problem That Could Break Cryptography. https://scitechdaily.com/the-million-dollar-problem-that-could-break-crypto… Usually, you can verify a solution to a problem. Whether it’s using multiplication for division or plugging the answer in for a variable, math teachers tell you to check your work using your answer in every school math class. But let’s say you can verify a solution easily, is it just as easy to solve for that solution? This is the P versus NP problem, a Millenium Prize Problem where the solver will receive a million dollars if valid proof is provided. What is P versus NP? In computer science, the efficiency of algorithms is very important. Most algorithms are believed to be “fast” if solvable in a standard called polynomial time. Polynomial time is when a problem is solvable in steps scaled by a factor of a polynomial given the complexity of input. So let’s say the complexity of input is some number n, a polynomial time algorithm will be able to solve a problem in nk steps. Essentially, P vs NP is asking the question: Are problems that can have solutions verified in polynomial time, also have their answers solved in polynomial time?

Persecution of Jews considered Nazi, sorry, nasty
by professor rat 04 Aug '22

04 Aug '22

Well-poisoning accusations merit close study because they provoked violent persecution against minorities, which transformed the place of those groups within Europe. The leprosaria of France never recovered from the persecution of 1321, and neither did the Jewish population in the kingdom. The persecution of Jews in the German Empire in 1348–1350 destroyed many of their communities, which had to be completely rebuilt. <<< https://www.laphamsquarterly.org/roundtable/making-conspiracy-theory Reposts etc

Police seize assets from architect linked to Russia
by professor rat 04 Aug '22

>>> tax police have seized assets worth over 141 million euros ($144 million) from an architect who designed a luxury estate on the Black Sea which has been dubbed "Putin's palace" by opponents of the Russian president. The tax police sent a statement earlier on Wednesday saying it had seized the assets from a "well-known professional" <<< https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/italy-police-seize-assets-architect-li… Reposts etc

"Homeland Justice" hackers open the mail of the Albanian prime minister and publish the emails https://www.ocnal.com/2022/08/homeland-justice-hackers-open-mail-of.html?m=1 A group called "Homeland Justice" has published e-mails that are in the e-mail of Prime Minister Edi Rama. On the website, https://homelandjustice.ru/ hackers have uploaded dozens of materials that came to the address of the head of the government, even those that were deleted from the inbox. A day ago on this page, readers were asked if they were interested in publishing the emails of the prime minister or the ministers. And apparently their requests have been positive, that the emails of the prime minister and ministers be made public. Among the messages, there are also denunciations that are mainly related to tenders and cadastre, but there are also offers that have arrived from Chinese companies for the production of masks > According to the Poll’s the Prime Minister’s (EDI RAMA) email will be leaked. > > This documents i uploaded (link ): https://mega.nz/file/w0BWEAoD#ra3wulNcMps-CThOyPBCOVtZo2y-HJFpidIXG29_ORM >

The exact type of flooding the zone with shit that Bannon & James O’Keefe deploy
by professor rat 04 Aug '22

Flooding a fever-swamp with feces >>> Jones’s entire discourse tactic is to load any debate or topic of conversation with so much noise that it renders speech almost impossible for anyone else. During his shows, Jones rambles endlessly on endless topics—be it vaccines or 9/11 conspiracy theories or stolen-election theories—citing news articles and dubious studies haphazardly and drawing false or tenuous connections between disparate events. In public, he drowns out everyone else on the street with the blare of his infamous bullhorn. As one of his former employees, Joshua Owens, told me in 2019, Jones’s goal is “to flood any topic with confusion and doubt so no one can grab onto anything.” <<< The exact type of flooding the zone with shit that Bannon and James O’Keefe deploy. https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2022/08/alex-jones-sandy-hook-def…

ALEX JONES sez he is less a journalist and more of a curator of information.
by professor rat 04 Aug '22

04 Aug '22

He’s less a journalist, he said during his testimony, and more of a curator of information. As opposed to Julian Rand Paul Assmange whose less a curator and more journalist daily. GIGO for the garbage-scow, LOL-GOP, Qanon, 8chan Gramps-type losers of this world. Honest cannibals should be up in arms about these brain-dead zombies. Surely not all right-wing conservative conformists can be such fascist morons. Thats a rhetorical question.
