BingoBoingo: ben_vulpes: More than any dietary change, avoiding morbid Obeasts will materially improve your health. Give it a try for 30 day, see the improvement in your life.

BingoBoingo: Seriously Obeasts are only a hazard to themselves? Does he even consider the pathogens people who can't clean their ass spread everyday as they go about sitting and leaning on public spaces.

assbot: Kristov Atlas on Twitter: "@bboingo @bboingo @pierre_rochard @rogerkver right, but a firefighter's job presently is to take on physical risk." ... ( http://bit.ly/1ZeNJne )

BingoBoingo: Did this Kristov Atlas fellow ever have a presence in either WoT, this is the stupid sort of twitter rambling that demands an ideological negrate https://archive.is/fIuTA ☟︎

pete_dushenski for a run

asciilifeform: as if a dead chaum is much good for anything.

asciilifeform: and mircea_popescu will probably tell us that he oughta have shot a cop somewhere. ☟︎

asciilifeform: likely, man had a choice between eating and not-quisling

asciilifeform: chaum et al are the flip side of the 'everybody has a day job' crap

assbot: Logged on 10-01-2016 19:45:08; BingoBoingo: "In an interview with Wired, Mr. Chaum revealed that, to prevent cybercrime and other nefarious groups from using their network, the researchers behind this initiative are planning to create a PrivaTegrity Council."

ben_vulpes is operating under a severe cognition deficit today. weird bugs in the blood.

mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes and proteins are a long end.

mircea_popescu: "since 100% of all bitcoin businesses are in b-a and b-a doesn't like it, you know what ? it is useless!11 nothing ever happened!111 blablabl~!111"

ben_vulpes: silicon is a dead end

ben_vulpes: BingoBoingo: i've been thinking a lot about proteins lately

pete_dushenski: "In short, right now the bitcoin infrastructure is insufficient to support the unbanked. This must and will change. Before we begin, a bit of disclosure: I’ve been researching this for my on project, Freemit, and I’ve been talking talking to startups in this space." << so much talking

BingoBoingo: Just a man, pretending to be a man, pretending to be another man.

BingoBoingo: "In an interview with Wired, Mr. Chaum revealed that, to prevent cybercrime and other nefarious groups from using their network, the researchers behind this initiative are planning to create a PrivaTegrity Council." ☟︎☟︎

BingoBoingo: ;;later tell PeterL What kind of budget would you need to produce a paper on the sulfur chemistry of FOOF in the name of making the TMSR a contributor to cutting edge science?

funkenstein_: <mircea_popescu> apple is a monopoly in the sense qq.com is a monopoly. you... never heard of it. <-- i was surprised to learn recently tencent was a major player in handling the exchange to fiat-bank segment for e.g. btcchina

pete_dushenski: friends had a kid (half indian, half lithuanian) who looks 100% 'chukka'

BingoBoingo: What you want is a core of people who aren't poor relative to the rest of their USistan region. Once they make the muni-fiber jump the first few years are rough until they get addicted to uptime and buying more cables headed in different directions out of town.

asciilifeform: not to mention that if it is a cable tv sort of cable, you are stuck with some of the most abominable isp monopolists in all of usaschwitz

BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> this is one of the things severely limiting the appeal, from my pov, of 'cheap middle-of-nowhere' locales there << Yeah, gotta be near a cable path and all of a sudden house no longer 1/5 but 1/4 or even 1/3

asciilifeform: i've an old chum who moved to wv. he is ever scheming to build a radio tower.

mircea_popescu: well, just like africa, so is the us a big... "country".

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: in a very meaningful sense, these organizations DO NOT EXIST except in meatspace. because they have no pgp.

pete_dushenski: http://news.nationalpost.com/full-comment/tom-kott-get-quebec-out-of-my-married-name << "“There is a new generation of women raised in an equal society who don’t feel threatened by men. For them, taking their husband’s name doesn’t mean living under their husband’s shadow.” Clearly, the dominance of cultural paternalism was replaced by government paternalism in this scheme, and no one has been left b

BingoBoingo: <trinque> mircea_popescu: on the hosting side bezos has eaten a lot of it, and as far as what the average derp is staring at when she thinks she's on the internet, facebook << For on this try to find the web presence of any 'Murican Militia organization

trinque: mircea_popescu: on the hosting side bezos has eaten a lot of it, and as far as what the average derp is staring at when she thinks she's on the internet, facebook

BingoBoingo: funkenstein_: Too much selenium is bad though, makes a person stink. Even thiols can't apporach the stink of selenium compounds

mircea_popescu: trinque their bid to take over internet infrastructure altogether is apparently a little stalled.

asciilifeform: actually it would be a very interesting thing if it finally died. somebody might start making actual commercial unix boxes again.

mircea_popescu: and the world will say "omfg apple is finished. what a crater."

mircea_popescu: nobody gives a flying fuck about making desktops when discussing the apple failure.

asciilifeform: and yes, jobs is dead, and the hardware is going to shit, i recently spent 4 hours trying to make a deterministic model of what the 'spaces' window manager does with 3 displays active, to no avail

asciilifeform: has mircea_popescu actually used a turdroid ?

asciilifeform: it is a motherfucking monopoly.

mircea_popescu: apple is a monopoly in the sense qq.com is a monopoly. you... never heard of it.

asciilifeform: monopolies don't 'fail' in the way a corner restaurant might.

pete_dushenski: 'cheekbones blown out'... now there's a visual.

assbot: Logged on 03-01-2016 15:23:46; mircea_popescu: thought you were smart. You still dumb. If I want to pound some butt, I could do a woman. I’m a bisexual because I like to get my cheekbones blown out. I like to get pounded in the butt.’”

pete_dushenski: copypaste: furthermore, how'd you know that i wasn't an acultured asshole before reading trilema ? not that i deny the influence, but that's not entirely the point. the point is... how'd you know ? maybe being "mean" (or however you'd describe mp's style) is a cause of hanging around b-a, and not an effect, y'know ?

pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: then other idiots learn that 750k isn't such a bad deal ?

pete_dushenski: omg do it in your basement. make it a seekrit.

funkenstein_: lling these terrified people a gallon of water for $4.00. They put them in jail for price-gouging, for selling them a gallon of water for four bucks.

funkenstein_: "The medical treatment of choice for cardio myopathy is a heart transplant, costs $750,000. I want you to think about that. They get the heart free from a donor, they get the blood free for the surgery from the relatives. They use $2.50 of suture material, and they charge you $750,000 for that procedure. Now 6 months ago in LA when they had the earthquake, they were putting people in jail for 60 and 90 days for price-gouging, for se

funkenstein_: "You can prevent, totally prevent, cardio myopathy for ten cents a day. And if we don't do it, we are malignant dumb, I like to call it. Malignant dumb if you don't take in ten cents a day of Selenium. It's a waste of your life. It's one of those landmines that you can avoid.

pete_dushenski: "Someone is betting $40,026 on the life of a 73-year-old lottery winner in Michigan. That amount was the highest bid Thursday in an online auction for a lottery prize that pays $1,000 a month, before taxes. But here's the hitch: The money is paid only as long as Donald Magett stays alive."

mircea_popescu: barbie i too can be a computer ideas woman!!1

copypaste: pete_dushenski: you never seem online at an opportune time for me to tell you this. i think that you should develop your own style instead of copying MP's for contravex. contravex is a cheap knockoff at best to trilema. no one can surmount the original, i wouldn't dare even try writing in MP\s signature style.

pete_dushenski: "Edward Archer, a computational physiologist at the University of Alabama’s Nutrition Obesity Research Center in Birmingham"

pete_dushenski: with a fellow 'computationalist', no less

pete_dushenski: "So we’re left with our original question: What is a healthy diet? We know the basics — we need sufficient calories and protein to keep our bodies alive. We need nutrients like vitamin C and iron. Beyond that, we may be overthinking it"

mircea_popescu: it is bad management not to do a large number of various things that appear counter-intuitive to "intelligent" people. especially to the "civilised" metastasis thereof.

mircea_popescu: fwiw, i credit the "bad management" part a lot.

mircea_popescu: and of course, alf's favourite part, "Popular until the very end, Digital Group failed in August of 1979 due to management and parts supplier troubles, not a lack of customer interest or product orders. Co-founder Dr. Robert Suding recalled that at the time of the bankruptcy, DG had thousands of product information requests and orders waiting to be filled."

mircea_popescu: ing systems on display at computer shows. Besting the closest competitor by weeks if not months. Contrast that with the common practice of the day, of running ads for a concept product, then using the money from the customer orders to develop the advertised hardware."

mircea_popescu: "Digital Group also offered a very wide range of hardware accessories. If it was available to computer users at the time, it was available to DG system owners, and usually first. A users group of the time reported (and I confirmed in conversation with Dr. Suding) that within two weeks of the release of the Zilog Z80 chip samples, Dr. Suding had finalized the design for the Digital Group Z80 processor card, and had work

asciilifeform: but as in mircea_popescu's essay re: 'can't separate industry from maggotry', the era ~prior to that~ looked like univac and there was a market for mebbe 50 of them.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: pretty much whole 'history of computing' is a story of ascendant charlatans peddling garbage while burying actual thinking folk selling to thinking folk

mircea_popescu: and a keyboard as standard equipment with all of their systems."

mircea_popescu: our times the speed possible with any other manufacturers tape systems, and ten times faster than paper tape -- the only method available at the time for loading Micro Soft BASIC onto the Altair system. Of course, to even do that on an Altair, you had to buy a paper tape reader and an interface. Usually an ASR-33 Teletype and an SIO card. ($$$) By contrast, Digital Group systems included a video and cassette interface

mircea_popescu: This was the "Cadillac of computers". In 1975, when this system was introduced, Altair system owners were flipping switches for hours just to watch lights blink on the front panel of their systems. Digital Group system owners were throwing a power switch and loading an operating system in less than 20 seconds. The cassette interface, standard with DG systems, loaded programs at 1100 baud. At the time, this was nearly f

BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> and add a ((Mark to be pronounced "Carl" not "four")) on that IV << fixed

mircea_popescu: it's a basic tool for resolving certain problems in analysis.

funkenstein_: ascii is right I sympathize with saifedean and recommend a video "the business of being born"

mircea_popescu: pretending that a) didn't happen and then latter that b) if it happened it didn't matter and then even later that c) they did it anyway by themselves!!1

mircea_popescu: i dunno if you were around for / recall this, but after i singlehandedly nixed the original "block expansion" almost a year ago to the day, they spent A FUCKING YEAR

copypaste: i haven't seen one mention of the miner defection problem anywhere but b-a

assbot: Logged on 10-01-2016 15:49:35; copypaste: so people going along with soft forks are literally just throwing their coins into a blackhole which will be opened whenever miners defect, which is a gaurantee as more muppets follow along with the softfork the potential gain from defecting rises

mircea_popescu: in fact... "there aren't many of them, and they're supposed to be intelligent" is not unlike saying "this cow doesn't belong in the pen, it gives a lot of milk which is rare". whether it goes in the pen or puts the would-be farmer in the pen strictly depends on how willing to http://search.bitcoin-assets.com/?q=shoot+cop the cow finds itself.

mircea_popescu: whence would come such a sudden and complete change for the masses ? there is no such thing.

copypaste: so people going along with soft forks are literally just throwing their coins into a blackhole which will be opened whenever miners defect, which is a gaurantee as more muppets follow along with the softfork the potential gain from defecting rises ☟︎

kakobrekla: its a percentage.

kakobrekla: a few every day

thestringpuller: http://qntra.net/2015/01/the-hard-fork-missile-crisis/#comment-7033 << ultimately it's a resource war TMSR definitely has upperhand here

mircea_popescu: if a billion people starve because their thousands of btc got stolen by greedy miners who saw an opportunity to revert a soft fork and took it - i'll cheer them on. that's a billion idiots less, and an absolutely ideal end state.

mircea_popescu: miner defection from any and all non-trb approved soft forks is a ~GUARANTEE~ in the future. just a question of when.

assbot: Logged on 10-01-2016 12:45:13; adlai: if you run a full node which has no recognition of segwit, you can still operate normally. segwit is dangerous for a) users of non-full nodes who think they have "SPV security" (whatever that may mean), and b) everybody, if enough utxos use segwit that miner defection becomes a real risk

mircea_popescu: so in this sense, "contributing" to bitcoin outside of b-a / tmsr is a pure and objectively declared waste of time.

mircea_popescu: clearly whether this happens or not is purely a matter of accident, which is to say a matter of time - all the pr derps can do exactly nothing to influence it any way

mircea_popescu: their projective ability to control the future is also absent, for this reason. consequently, it is not in any sense inconceivable that a situation will come to pass where the maintenance of their derpage requires resources nobody wishes to expend.

shinohai: Oh awesum. zzzzzzzzztook me a little longer to get a VM up than I thought, I'm in the process of upgrading to new lappy.

mircea_popescu: if all the coffee buying "with bitcoin", all five of the yearly instances, moves on a deedbot-like thing or simply goes away it makes exactly 0 difference.

assbot: Logged on 04-06-2014 00:08:26; asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: the buggers' traditional defense is to pretend that the event was a non-event - or, if this is impractical, to continue living in an imaginary world where they 'scooped' the story first, and all of the 'unsanctioned' discussion never happened.

mircea_popescu: seeing how exactly 100% of bitcoin businesses are run by people here, it'll be a funny dispute between you know, the actual bitcoin people and all the derps sitting at the edges and opining about how things should be.

mircea_popescu: and add a ((Mark to be pronounced "Carl" not "four")) on that IV

mircea_popescu: " Harney County Sheriff David Ward, who normally presides over a force of local force of six, is the public face of the combined government effort lead by Federal forces." becomes "Harney County Sheriff David Ward, who normally presides over a force of locally forced six is now the public face of the combined government effort lead by Federal Force IV."

mircea_popescu: "who normally presides over a force of local force of six," nevertheless.

mircea_popescu: anyway, all the lulz aside, someone point out to the guy that the guidance is for employers and other "covered entitites", and his "quarelling couple in a bar" chosen example is entirely nonsensical. what the fuck is with these idiots, nobody went to school that speaks english ? a fucking generation of kelly bundys out there for the love of christ.

mircea_popescu: everyone still living in new york must now use "Blasioisanidiotmarriedtoadisgustingnigger" as my preferred gender pronoun. failure to do so "more than a couple of times" means you gotta self-report yourself to city hall. bring your fine with you.
