09:04 < fenn> there is no such thing as a "bad pun"
09:04 < fenn> they're all bad

15:42 < jrayhawk> some puns are, however, lazier than others
15:58 < jrayhawk> the "havana syndrome" microwave theories confuse me; wouldn't something that powerful be creating resonant nodes inside radio freuqencies, and owuldn't all U.S. embassies be SDR capturing all interesting RF signals and their directionality as a matter of course?
16:22 < fenn> this assumes that someone is actually doing their job
16:23 < fenn> lower frequencies can't excite higher harmonics
16:25 < fenn> alternatively, maybe that someone is indeed doing their job, but they don't want to admit that they're snooping
16:26 < fenn> so, hypothetically, there's evidence of a microwave attack, but it's compartmentalized information and doesn't make it down to the lowly levels of health and disability reimbursement
16:27 < sknebel> although at this point with the media attention you probably easily could parallel-construct someone lowly coming to look and "finding" it, if you wanted it to be found/admitted
16:28 < jrayhawk> er, i think you mean higher frequencies can't excite lower harmonics
16:29 < jrayhawk> which is true and i mostly rescind my question
16:29 < fenn> an SDR still needs to have a big enough antenna to pick up low frequencies
16:30 < fenn> if it's in a building with rebar the lower frequencies will be screened out, unless it's next to a big window, and so on
16:30 < fenn> they could have simply waited until the diplomats exited the building and then zapped them
16:31 < fenn> you made a good point

17:36 < superkuh> I don't think it is an RF attack. I do think it would be *easily* detected.
17:36 < superkuh> I think there would be lots of hard evidence if it was high powered RF.
17:37 < superkuh> I think *I* could set up a system to detect any feasible attack from 0-20 GHz for about $200.
17:48 < kanzure> "PayPal, at Luke Nosek’s urging, became the first company in the history of the world that had cryogenics as part of the employee benefits package. There was a Tupperware-style party where the cryogenics company representatives made the rounds trying to get people to sign up at $50k for neuro or $120k for full body. Things were going well until they couldn’t print out the policies because ...
17:48 < kanzure> ...they couldn’t get their dot matrix printer to work."
17:51 < yashgaroth> initially imagined the "Tupperware-style party" as some dead employee's head being shoved into a tupperware container and then dunked into LN2 while the others watched
