BingoBoingo: I imagine next to nothing mircea
_popescu, It only is active in an extrordinarily narrow range of environmental conditions. If you had a dumptruck full on nothing but HIV you'd have a rather useless mass of poorly differentiated protein and little more. That's why the whole folding deal matters even if computers suck at the folding.
BingoBoingo: mircea
_popescu: Well I know the cows don't seem to complain. Since society seems cool to serving long pig, it would probably be possible to use the penetrating variants of the devices which have been banned from the beef industry since the UK got their proteins twisted.
BingoBoingo: mircea
_popescu: Well, there comes in my suggestion for a concussive implement like a captive bolt device followed by exsanguination. I don't think it is just for the state to do these things unless it is bloody.
BingoBoingo: mike
_c: Basically every cell that does something visible on the macro scale (neurons and muscle cells) utilizes action potentials. Responding t sound means there are a lot of surviving neurons and muscle cells in communication... At least for a while.
BingoBoingo: mike
_c: It happens. It's relate to remaining action potentials in cells (action potentials being the entire reason potasium chloride and another depolatizing neuromuscular blocker were the key components inducing death in classic three drug lethal injection)
deego: mircea

mike_c: mircea
_popescu: the table is aligned as designed. whether it's clear is another question. I went with showing the dividends in the month they were paid, which is generally the month after the profit was earned.
gribble: Error: The "Later" plugin is loaded, but there is no command named "mike

_popescu: Southerners weren't poor enough
diametric: people are really convinced mircea
_popescu is a scam artist
Apocalyptic: mike
_c, regarding your BitBet and MPex analysis on btcalpha, you claim these are "zero-asset company". I don't think this term is appropriate as they hold at the very least intangible assets such as goodwill resulting from their userbase and the reputation among other things
benkay: what are you driving that with, mike
_c?
benkay: mike
_c: where's the btc alpha feed?
Apocalyptic: nice blog mike

diametric: mircea
_popescu: you'd be surprised the SLAs some customers demand
diametric: mircea
_popescu: ahh, well its been many years since I worked in that space. I left it around 2004
diametric: mircea
_popescu: i have no idea who that is
KRS1: what mircea
_popescu sounds more reasonable, I've been the victim of that too, where some of my customers were able to reach my hosts, but not others
KRS1: mircea
_popescu I'm specifically talking uptime, not throughput though..your servers should always be accessible..hosting php apps, application level hosting however, is a completely different situation and agreed, almost impossible to host applicactions with 100% availability
diametric: mircea
_popescu: top tier hosting, we hosted all of JP Morgans main infrastructure, USPS, Ford Motor Company, tons of big players. We one had a janitor take out an entire farm because he backed his mop handle into the emergency power stop switch
