psztorc: I suppose I'm
a "certain hostile element with bitcoin community".
mircea_popescu: recommended reading for asciilifeform just because i know he's
a livresque masochist.
BingoBoingo: Seems the Bitbet even slowed
a bit after the bet.
BingoBoingo: But seriously the big malingering complaint is now labeled "fibromyalgia" and there is actually
a therapy that keeps these hams sated. Stong compounded mixes of tricyclic antidepressants and NSAIDS.
mircea_popescu: that's 100% of psycho, and most of nonspeciffic pain (which only exists because gps wanted
a loophole to prescripe medocal social security to healthy men) and then "old age/shit habits" diseases. like some arthitis types (aka gout)./
mircea_popescu: <BingoBoingo> But even now those things are going from treatments for the rare and debilitating to treatments for the common and hammy << exactl;y, and these two go together. we're now at the point where "important" vaccines for purely imaginary conditions are being pushed out. srsly, some people get nonspecific pain from what may be
a viral infection ?
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> but the 'research' is not happening. << this is
a point.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform> why this particular schmuck was chosen as the whipping boy of the day << was in the news recently, '87 born catamite of "tiger fund" gonzo increased price of some shitty expired patent medicine nobody else was manufacturing because us is as springy as
a dead halibut.
BingoBoingo: Uric acid, still expensive after being under
a dollar per arbitrary time span supply
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Sure. Darl was
a lolcow because he forced his position on ambiguity. This one though lolcows by hitting everything and only those things he is explicitly allowed to.
BingoBoingo: Pharma has had
a few more "soft power" understandings. Like if the Jews in Israel at Teva can break even on
a generic it isn'r really abandoned and such.
BingoBoingo: Imagine if someone bough
a symbolics machine or Unix 7 and asserted re-Patent rights?
BingoBoingo: Only scandal is he is
a young buck taking the old stags to task
BingoBoingo: But the short story for #b-
a regs is this
a a corn problem. If you can you must, and the FDA says you must,
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: SInce it is old news but super trending I'll have
a piece on the particulars of this FDA sanctioned pharma racket in the next day or so
BingoBoingo after last outing with steel pole in the back yard picked up
a pair of sweet gel bag gloves today. The steel pole felt like butterfly kisses wearing them.
BingoBoingo: This is going in
a basement space where
a prior retard fucking drywalled the basement ceiling
cazalla: stands are shit BingoBoingo put
a pole and bracket up in ya backyard and hang off that
shinohai: I further explained the sheer idiocy of using
a cloud instance to mine with, I wasn't some redditard from r/beermoney trying to collect dust.
shinohai: CS told me when I paid for initial service it wouldn't be
a problem. I tried to explain it in the clearest way possible.
shinohai: I still have an account, just not gonna try and run bitcoind there, especially when they don't have
a clue what it is.
shinohai: I might host
a node down the road
a bit, my experience trying this with Atlantic was less-than-stellar and set me back some.
shinohai: That's what I'm using,
a cruddy old laptop. Glad it was in the library locked up really well.
gernika: Would like to get my machine in
a DC - but the cheapest hosting rate for
a 1U I can find around here is $200.00/mo. Which is 4x more than I last paid for the same service.
shinohai: waiting on realbitcoin to sync at least gave me time to make
a sweet tmux config for it.
BingoBoingo: The Po-Po plug is
a distant relative of the traditional urban American dance the 5-0 fondle
BingoBoingo actually would like
a cue cat, not so much usg Po-Po plug
shinohai:
https://redd.it/3lv366 "If you truly believe that devices need to be loaded with Bitcoin, why wouldn't you just print out
a QR, tape it to your Raspberry pi, and fund it with $700 in Bitcoin?"
BingoBoingo: It's compressible to
a point, but the bigger point is most of them won't make it to the edge of the pen
mircea_popescu: you know, like there's relatively little research on the true benefits of hanging us academitards above
a smoldering pit of hot peppers.
BingoBoingo: They even work almost in USia. Just rare to find people who get them, because so many people got to the MIT-Harvard free if you aren't
a Soros lottery
BingoBoingo: "The yield for those who received the $7,000 annual scholarships was 7.1 percent –
a statistically significant difference" ... lol "At the same time, the study suggests that the impact of this kind of merit aid may not be large -- the yield rate was low even for those receiving it."
ascii_field: by - supposedly - itself. but this is where we go back to 'i don't have
a public key for it, so what, if anything, is to be taken as 'it said' is
a ???.'
mircea_popescu: as far as i can see the only salient points re isis are that
a) has own agency ; b) percepibly unalligned to usg.
ascii_field: but isis is being advertised as
a conquering thing in the ancient sense. with territory held, administered, taxed
mircea_popescu: the very definition of army includes two points :
a) that it does not support itself (if it did it'd be
a stampede) ; b) that it makes up the difference through plunder.
mircea_popescu: that is not an answer which can be made into
a question.
mircea_popescu: (hint : you can't donate to
a mouse. it steals all it ever gets.)
ascii_field: from crates dropped to aid 'syrian rebels' daily, for
a year ?
mircea_popescu: because that's the thing with fiction : it's nonsensical, which means you absolutely need
a carefully curated set of sentences be considered
mircea_popescu: yeah, totally. and if i go buy
a twelve year old hooker in the DC, it's also the usg that supplied her right ?
assbot: Logged on 22-09-2015 22:01:46; mircea_popescu: quite. "
a kind of quasi-autonomous golem." === "" these classifications that sorta are adaptable to suit history."
ascii_field: for all i know, new york isn't even there any longer. been
a while since i visited.
ascii_field:
a certain amount of 'u.s. army gets wiped' is always planned. at least on account of it never going 'all in'
mircea_popescu: quite. "
a kind of quasi-autonomous golem." === "" these classifications that sorta are adaptable to suit history."
☟︎ ascii_field: 'muppet' is to be understood as
a kind of quasi-autonomous golem.
PeterL: didn't somebody here say that isis is just
a usg puppet anyway?
PeterL: ISIS could clearsign
a statement with their donation address? Have they published any public keys to compare against?
mircea_popescu: jurov from what i've seen, it's
a certain river + sandy dune thing they like.
ascii_field: when they lay out
a quality rsa8192 in the desert using beheaded infidels, fresh and still spurting, then.
BingoBoingo: Mauk will still have
a year of eligibility next year, but he should convert nicely to backup QB and rare white running back
BingoBoingo: PeterL: But at least for next year we've already signed
a 3-star tight end and our next great white hope at quarterback is getting some game time this year as
a true freshman
assbot: Logged on 12-09-2015 23:23:51; mircea_popescu: "To get Heaviside away from Newton Abbot, his brother Charles arranged for him to live with his sister-in-law, Mary Way, at her home in Devon. Since Mary lived alone, having the eccentric Heaviside live upstairs from her seemed like
a good idea. Unfortunately, things got even more bizarre at that point. Heaviside insisted on treating Mary as
a slave despite her being the owner of the house. Not
BingoBoingo: Which is kinda part of why Alabama killed us in the SEC championship. Hard to run against
a fast 300-350 lb line
PeterL: I don't think
a win over
a FCS school should count on the record (but
a loss should count as 2)
BingoBoingo: PeterL: Been following it
a Bit. I'm worried because Mizzou won its non-Conference schedule and Georgia beat SOuth Carolina. We might not take the SEC East this yeat.
PeterL:
A while back mircea_popescu was amazed no US cell phones have free incoming: my cell phone is unlimited calling, therefore free incoming (MetroPCS)
BingoBoingo: <cazalla> punkman, aussie banks started this about 2 years ago and it's just the continuation of them closing accounts, not something new << This, someone had
a slow news day and wanted to make
a fuss
gribble: artifexd was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 21 weeks, 5 days, 23 hours, 5 minutes, and 13 seconds ago: <artifexd> I'm comfortable calling it
a review. Not just of what it is but what it was and how it got to where it is.
gernika: I live about half
a mile from the Pacific Coast. Constant cool breeze seems to have eliminated them completely.
BingoBoingo: <jurov> wonder why noone sells them frozen. "prepare
a jug of water. throw frozen larvae in. wait
a week." << Hard to get the same level of repeat customers buying more every week
jurov: wonder why noone sells them frozen. "prepare
a jug of water. throw frozen larvae in. wait
a week."
ascii_field: the ~right thing~ would be
a grid that is normally at low voltage but boosts to max if capacitance changes (bug touched)
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: aaaactually it too is
a scam!
ascii_field: my understanding is that the 'motel' notion was partly
a misguided variation on the usual rodent trap, and partly
a cynical scam (there could never be, clearly, anything like sufficient room in the trap, but it will superficially appear to 'work')
mircea_popescu: unsustainable and provably-won't-solve-the-problem but hey, it has
a nice package!
ascii_field: 'Black Flag also marketed
a related insect trap, the "Flyport," designed to deal with unwanted flying insects like houseflies, with the tagline, "Lots of arrivals, but no departures!"' << l0l
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo further proof (if such were needed) that no usg/vc funded item is
