TURKEY's proffer to negotiate Ukraine-Rus-peace
by professor rat 07 Feb '22

This will presumably be based on its vast experience negotiating with Greeks, Armenians and Kurds since 1914. Marx, "British Politics" (April 7, 1853), Collected Works, Vol. 112, p.7: "The real point at issue always is, Turkey in Europe--the great peninsula to the south of the Save and Danube. This splendid territory has the misfortune to be inhabited by a conglomerate of different races and nationalities, of which it is hard to say which is the least fit for progress and civilization."

MIT Physicists Have Discovered New Qubits for Quantum Computers Using Vibrating Atoms

https://scitechdaily.com/mit-physicists-have-discovered-new-qubits-for-quan… "The new qubits stay in “superposition” for up to 10 seconds, and could make a promising foundation for quantum computers. MIT physicists have discovered a new quantum bit, or “qubit,” in the form of vibrating pairs of atoms known as fermions. They found that when pairs of fermions are chilled and trapped in an optical lattice, the particles can exist simultaneously in two states — a weird quantum phenomenon known as superposition. In this case, the atoms held a superposition of two vibrational states, in which the pair wobbled against each other while also swinging in sync, at the same time. The team was able to maintain this state of superposition among hundreds of vibrating pairs of fermions. In so doing, they achieved a new “quantum register,” or system of qubits, that appears to be robust over relatively long periods of time. The discovery, published on January 26, 2022, in the journal Nature, demonstrates that such wobbly qubits could be a promising foundation for future quantum computers. A qubit represents a basic unit of quantum computing. Where a classical bit in today’s computers carries out a series of logical operations starting from one of either two states, 0 or 1, a qubit can exist in a superposition of both states. While in this delicate in-between state, a qubit should be able to simultaneously communicate with many other qubits and process multiple streams of information at a time, to quickly solve problems that would take classical computers years to process.

HACK!
by Gunnar Larson 07 Feb '22

07 Feb '22

If your computer is hacked, let's say that someone plays with your Bluetooth ... It is still a computer crime. The proper officials, if they knew, should advise of the intrusion, not let it play at the disadvantage of the subject computer. Now, I am not embarrassed. Sure, yes, I knew that this PC had been compromised, but overall, my approach has been that any machine I had during this experience would be a target. What I am getting at is, it is not cute to be a computer criminal. We are probably one of the handful of experts in computer crimes on Manhattan Island related to virtual currencies and the BitLicense. Furthermore, have you heard of Ripple? :) XOXO GDAPL PS: Stop fucking with the wifi connection. Obstruction of justice is illegal, let alone your tacky computer crimes on this machine. Not my problem. Oh! Have you heard of Ripple: https://thecapital.io/article/computer-crimes-and-the-bitlicense-nydfs-MUoH… PSS: Hey FBI, cyberstalking is a crime, right? Please reference the Computer Crimes Manual W/183 Highlights: https://thecapital.io/article/crypto-computer-crimes-manual-w183-highlights… PSSS: Literally, the machine being compromised is something Ben Edelman taught me back in the day when we worked together. Point being, that if a machine is compromised (like this one here) all other details of the compromise can be tracked. So, The fact that I am 100% transparent is a good thing for me, over the last while. But, it is always bad to be a computer criminal or worse a computer criminal in prison. Overall, this machine will go down in history and people will never forget that 10001 is one of the most special places on the great, beautiful planet Earth! Long live Brody. -- *Gunnar Larson - xNY.io <http://www.xNY.io> | Bank.org <http://Bank.org>* MSc <https://www.unic.ac.cy/blockchain/msc-digital-currency/?utm_source=Google&u…> - Digital Currency MBA <https://www.unic.ac.cy/business-administration-entrepreneurship-and-innovat…> - Entrepreneurship and Innovation (ip) G(a)xNY.io +1-646-454-9107 New York, New York 10001

This raises a query about how far Dumb Bell's " Enemy of my enemy " philosophy goes. Anyone who willingly backs the KGB shouldn't turn up their nose at the DPRK. " Defend the deformed-workers state of Wikileaks! " Fucking moron.

“Fuck your cute hustle and disinformation campaign. Same old shit - working for the enemy. So John Young came very close nearly 20 years ago with his CIA hypothesis. John's own disinformation lurched with his circulation of Mongo's " 20 million dead mud-people " letter in the noughties then his appearances on Alex Jones soon after. He's also outed himself as a left-fascist ( Sartre style ) Has earned killing - but he already looks dead on his feet. You can't murder a corpse.
