mircea_popescu: "Apologists for this kind of SJW fascism will contend that the $250,000 fine is not mandatory and is
a maximum, as if it somehow eliminates the farce of the laws’ new interpretation." << you know, consensus will enforce the lower limit.
assbot: Logged on 10-01-2016 06:50:13; BingoBoingo: ;;later tell saifedean Re: your tweets. I am sorry I can not help you at this time. If however your ketone dependence makes you hit bottom and your life becomes unmanagable, there's probably
a group for that.
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
☟︎ copypaste: but you have to take specific steps to send to
a script hash
adlai: eh, proportion of transactions is an unclear measure. proportion of utxos is
a clearer one, and you can see that eg p2sh still has quite small market share, despite being adopted by several fiat-btc exchange sites
adlai: you must have missed
a few trilema/qntra articles?
copypaste: i think they should make
a statement on it if it gets into Bitcoin "Core", since it seems to have wide support (but this support could just be imaginary on my part)
ben_vulpes: trinque: yeah those failed boost targets are
a real bitch
BingoBoingo: Same link on Oathers: "
A local “Committee for Safety,” which coordinates with Oath Keepers, has approached the protesters and asked them to leave."
pete_dushenski: from mr. reed, who unfortunately doesn't have
a comments section with which to correct his lack of 'bahamas' : "I’m going to move to Mexico. I swear I am. Except that I already have. Well, I’m going to move there twice. It’s to get away from Hussein Obama."
ith: I struggle daily to survive and find
a way to be free of these people
ith: pete_dushenski: I am being held prisoner by the Illuminati and can't escape. All day I try to survive relentlous attacks on my mind from my mother, my father and others who speak to me from the apartment downstairs, and manipulate me by directing messages to me (appearing to be speaking to
a caller), in the case of my father, from the living room
BingoBoingo: Frome the mines, health scamzors getting poor: "Move over, quinoa, kale, and açaí– 2016’s newest superfood might come in
a familiar package (or can). Pulses — the dried edible seeds of legume plants, which include things like lentils, dried peas, and beans — are hoping to get their moment in the spotlight, thanks in part to
a United Nations campaign to make 2016 the International Year of Pulses."
ith: I think Vernon is an Illuminati support city. Is your aunt
a psychopath?
BingoBoingo: Hockey underdog whose trend demanded
a bet won, more than doubled my quarters at poker, powerball though... scam

a fun fact : you can buy raw milk in romania << same here in Connecticut, the one state in all of the ussa that permits sale outside of
a farm

☟︎ assbot: Logged on 10-01-2016 03:54:17; mircea_popescu: but anyway. natural birth has
a huge following in the states. almost unknown in yurp.
bitstein: I had one when it came out for about 2 hours. We took it back and got
a super nintendo.
pete_dushenski: though i recall playing with one at the store as
a boy, quite an intriguing bit of kit at the time
BingoBoingo: But yes, when the ketosis people talk about feeling sick when consuming carbs they really are feeling sick. Dope sick, just like
a junkie dosed with narcan.
BingoBoingo: Could simulate these changes with benzodiazepine dependence (which is why people who do the Keto thing recreationally start to feel sick when carbs are introduced, ketosis stops and they undergo
a drug withdrawal)
☟︎ pete_dushenski:
http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=09-01-2016#1364239 << "The odds of winning are 1 in 292.2 million. So the expected value of
a ticket is $800*1/292.2=$2.73.
A ticket only costs $2 so that’s
a positive expected value purchase! We do have to make
a few adjustments, however. The $800 million is paid out over 30 years while the $2 is paid out today."
☝︎ mircea_popescu: it should be obvious that one wants
a mix of these three sources in their diet. (starches, such as breads etc, are all sweets for thid discussion, so is alcohol).
mircea_popescu: about 150-200 grams
a day. there is similarly
a fixed capacity to process fats. these also go through the liver, but mostly the bile is the limiting factor there. meanwhile sweets go through the pancreatic-centered insulin mechanism.
mircea_popescu: anyway, for the people following the nutrition discussion along at home : the average human needs something to the tune of 2k calories
a day to sit around and derp on social media.
a little more if he actually moves. the sources of these calories can be protein, fat or sweets, there is nothing else. protein and sweets count at about 4 calories/gram, fat at about 7. the liver has
a fixed capacity to process proteins, at
mircea_popescu: actually... iirc he did manage to get some asicminer shares at some point, which for
a period were deemed worthless, but which then came up once they delivered and made his investors whole, or maybe close to it, or at least so he claimed at the time.
mircea_popescu: after that didn't happen he had
a moment of butthurt, then moved on to dealing in partnering up with usagi and giving away with both hands the few k's of btcs he did somehow collect (at the time btc was like 2 bux) in exchange for ridiculously valued worthless paper,
mircea_popescu: anyway, diablo-d3 is
a guy that did some work on one of the earliest independent miners (ie, gpu based not cpu based like the origian client), then followed up with
a lulzy explosion at tardstalk over his plan to collect 1mn btc which "the community" owed him, and then use it to build some fantastic datacenter-cum-powerplant altogether reminescent of
http://trilema.com/2010/moment-de-visare/ gribble: diablod3 was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 1 year, 16 weeks, 4 days, 4 hours, 7 minutes, and 59 seconds ago: <DiabloD3> its
a work in progress
bitstein: who said anything about
a cure-all?
mircea_popescu: bitstein being disinterested in innovation as to
a fundamental part of one's culture does not have anything to see with "being nihilistic about nutrition"
bitstein: punkman: it's peculiar that people are so nihilistic about nutrition,
a fundamental aspect of being alive and being human
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron it's
a pity they didn't put any copyright notices opn that page. for one thing, copyright doesn't work without
a notice, and for the other - someone could steal their muzak!
saifedean: now quit meat for
a month and get back to it, and it'll be the best day of your life when you have your first steak in
a month
saifedean: lol you guys are addicted to the sugar rush and insulin spike... try to get over that addiction for
a month, then try pasta and see how it feels
mircea_popescu: you know, since im on okcupid about 10 derpy chicks
a day go "o, i know why you're not married, you're AFRAID of it!!1"
bitstein: mircea_popescu: my problem with "paleo" is it doesn't take itself seriously. paleo people eat so many foods that are only
a few thousand years old. just look to their favorite veggies like broccoli, kale, cauliflower...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brassica_oleracea mircea_popescu: from an anthropologist's pov, this entire "paleo" thing is pretty much
a bunch of boys wanting to be as annoying as the vegans but not ready to embrace metrosexualism or w/e it's called.
mircea_popescu: come to think about it... you've never had
a proper argentine porterhouse steak have you
saifedean: and if you spent your entire life walking on your hands... it will sound crazy when someone tells you these hands would do
a better job on
a keyboard than feet!
bitstein: asciilifeform: rabbit starvation is because of
a lack of fat
bitstein: ribeyes are what, $4 USD
a pound?
saifedean: the road is
a multivariate problem, after all
saifedean: while your friends will be shitting their pants in retirement homes on diabetes medication, you'll be out there living life like
a normal human
mircea_popescu: eh. you keep approaching
a multivariate problem with
a good feeling about having found the right single variable this time.
assbot: AHS12 Miki Ben Dor — Man The Fat Hunter: Animal Fat Shortage as
a Driver of Human Evolution - YouTube ... (

saifedean: ladies and gentlement i present you my first witness and exhibit
A... the great paleo convert Bitstein of Texas, prayers and blessings be upon him
mircea_popescu: fucking village, doesn't even have
a tiny and cramped bdsm club
saifedean: criminals, all these people, they'd go to jail in the good ole US of
A mircea_popescu: danielpbarron technically this was on
a farm. the way they sorted it out was that the farm rented 20 sqft from the supermarket, plopped
a machine down there. serviced it daily, there's
a resident tech that does analytics.
danielpbarron: mircea_popescu> here's
a fun fact : you can buy raw milk in romania << same here in Connecticut, the one state in all of the ussa that permits sale outside of
a farm
☟︎ mircea_popescu: my money says they'd find
a point of principle to disagree on and not be on speaking terms.
mircea_popescu: eh how'd you know. at least that dude has the excuse of
a lot of bad dinners all over.
saifedean: animal fats and meat is all
a man needs
saifedean: milk's essential for kids, for at least
a year, but i'm honestly not convinced grown-ups should even be drinking it, weston price be damned
saifedean: punkman is
a man after my heart... kokorec is fucking good, whereabouts are you? turkey?
saifedean: look, i'd love to try good raw milk, and if you can hook
a brother up, let me know... but, you know, it ain't the be all end all of human knowledge
mircea_popescu: you've tried the opposite but never suckled off
a cow.
saifedean: latin, after all, came from
a sedentary agricultural society of grain-addicted fatties... you wanna look at pre-agricultural societies to see how to really be well-fed
mircea_popescu: for another... what the fuck, i didn't grow up in
a hole.
mircea_popescu: honestly, to me all this sorta stuff, much like the "eu legislation" on "contaminated animal productS" ie, edible cheese, is
a case of derpy dudes thinking chickens come out of the supermarket.
saifedean: it's sad that your physicist friends havent read alchemists, but i'm gonna go ahead and guess that's sad for them, not for the alchemists... here's
a list of actual aclhemists, imagine where you'd be without their contributions to your life!
saifedean: i've never had raw milk, don't know
a source i can trust in lebanon, and it's illegal to buy it here in Ontario!
saifedean: weren't you the one who wrote
a post about how dumb it is to be hostile to things you do not know about?
saifedean: it's
a travesty that he's been completely forgotten... he's basically the Mises of nutrition
mircea_popescu: here's
a fun fact : you can buy raw milk in romania from
a fucking machine.
saifedean: you'll find it in pdf online if you look; reading it is
a far better use of your time than arguing!
trinque: I'll give it
a coupla drops of truth in
a bucket of rhetoric
saifedean: appreciate the faith in your clinician, but don't listen to those guys if you're having
a child of your own, they're not in it for your benefit, they have med school loans to pay
saifedean: she's got to actively fuck it up for her to not breastfeed... look at all real world examples, and you find
a woman who ate shit, or who had
a caesarian and didn't bother try breastfeeding for
a few days, or as is usually the case,
a woman who just can't be bothered and came up wiht
a story
mircea_popescu: or whether she has
a tyroid condition. or cystic ovaries. or or or.
