chetty: <punkman> " the numbers renouncing U.S. citizenship jumped 14% to a new record last year. While the official number is “only” 3,400, that number is apparently understated, and surveys suggest the number who may follow suit is in the millions."// its very simply a new sort of 'wall'
punkman: "Because the people have spoken, and while most of it was complete gibberish, numbers don't lie. People preferred 4.0, and 4.0 it shall be. Unless somebody can come up with a good argument against it."

BingoBoingo: <mats> 5:44:43 <+punkman> asciilifeform: ditto for the opiate 'vaccine' << from what I've read on the internets, suboxone is not such a bad thing << Suboxone is not vaccine, merely partial agonist, does not trigger immune response
mats: its safer, but folks sometimes develop suicidal ideation after a few months
mats: 5:44:43 <+punkman> asciilifeform: ditto for the opiate 'vaccine' << from what I've read on the internets, suboxone is not such a bad thing <<

Adlai: "praziquantel is a simple molecule easy to synth." << easiest way to get accurate info on the internet is to spew nonsense and wait to be corrected? :P
mircea_popescu: re "100k/dose" : praziquantel is a simple molecule easy to synth. everyone'll just use the indian version and that's that.
asciilifeform: the schizoid apathy, insensitivity and lack of empathy that could hardly be more extreme in a frank psychotic' << could be a description of virtually any
asciilifeform: 'In all of the discussions, Höss is quite matter-of-fact and apathetic, shows some belated interest in the enormity of his crime, but gives the impression that it never would have occurred to him if somebody hadn’t asked him. There is too much apathy to leave any suggestion of remorse and even the prospect of hanging does not unduly stress him. One gets the general impression of a man who is intellectually normal, but with
BingoBoingo: Oh, return of kink has a rough gem http://www.returnofkings.com/1977/france-is-in-big-trouble

The extra revenue generated by Biltricide is expected to earn Turing a fast profit for its investors and help defray the cost of developing other, experimental drugs, sour

BingoBoingo is still convinced NetBSD is a largely Jap fascination much like tentacle porn
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: how'd ya like to lose a week to http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/src/sys/dev/ic/mvsata.c?annotate=1.34&only_with_tag=MAIN
ben_vulpes: okay i lost a weekend to ruby dependency hell
unbalanced: Did I see a bitbet.py somewhere in the past month or so? That sounded neat.
unbalanced: That's a lot of electricity for a Chinese prison.
ben_vulpes: there's a particularly good sci fi story about people who lease their wetware out during the day, are monitored for minute reactions.
unbalanced: Tap and flick your way to a food pellet and a little more water in your dish!
unbalanced: We'll whip up a few pages where a few seniors and students can tap big colourful rectangles to make their selections.
asciilifeform: it is, afaik, unique for one thing - being a haven of sp4mz0rz on both sides of the equation
unbalanced: Purely scratching my own itch there. Not proposing a wetware CPU startup. No Tesla coming out of this one, just fewer manual SQL statements.
BingoBoingo: ben_vulpes: Davout also cares enough though to run off of a name. Vircurex was run by "Kumala" who even mircea_popescu doesn't care enough about to dox.
unbalanced: We get a lot of data coming in where users enter things like "NHL" "Nat'l Hockey League" "N.H.l." or umpteen other bastardizations of whatever the short text field is asking for.
BingoBoingo: 'Ernest Gallo told and re-told a story about driving through Atlanta and spotting a man drinking on the sidewalk. “What’s the word?” Gallo called out. The response was instantaneous: “Thunderbird!” and both the wino and the millionaire dissolved into laughter.'
unbalanced: Simple stuff for a native speaker in a given language: correcting capitalization on names, coding mistyped countries
unbalanced: Like captcha's I'd need a human decision for the choices my code couldn't make... and would need to run each one by say 5 people then take the "wisdom of the crowds" consensus answer.
unbalanced: cazalla, thanks -- I was pondering a similar idea about how to divvy-up boring micro data-cleaning work by pipelining it to many users and doing micro-payments.
cazalla: unbalanced, i don't believe so, exchanged a few emails with the guy who built that but unsure if he ever came here
danielpbarron: i went a few days without sleep and began to hallucinate
cazalla: mircea_popescu, sleep deprived hysteria? had this after the first week with baby, i have never laughed so hard and all i assume as a result from total lack of sleep
unbalanced: BingoBoingo, I imagine anyone wandering through this channel must end up on a no-fly list within a week. I mean, if there's a Persistence Division, there must be an #Assets Assembly.
asciilifeform: that photo only existed as a propaganda device, 'woman, see what the dope life does to face?!'
asciilifeform: and it had a face.
asciilifeform: http://www.techtimes.com/articles/28288/20150123/researchers-test-anti-cocaine-vaccine-taps-immune-system-to-end-addiction.htm << this is interesting -only- because of the photo of the crack woman from pediwikia. it used to have a face!
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform "hi baby i'm a producer". " i made an os"
danielpbarron: i chatted with someone the other day who claimed to be using a "custom OS" / when pressed further he admitted it was ubuntu with some features disabled
unbalanced: I'd buy a used ThinkPad but who knows how diddled that would be now from 4 years of some shlub surfing porn?
unbalanced: Of course it wasn't a consumer Lenovo, but it seems if you buy the latest Intel processor for security features you may be buying a factory-pwned unit anyway.
asciilifeform: there is no excuse for lying. don't say 'i wrote an os' when you rolled a linux distro like 100,000 other folks.
asciilifeform: as a general rule, piss on anyone pitching a linux distro as 'an os'
BingoBoingo: unbalanced: My online machine is still a 2011 vintage cheapo thinkpad. Love it.
unbalanced: ...so I looked for a laptop that would support all the goodies in Qubes, and ended up buying -- wait for it -- a Lenovo.
unbalanced: Would you say Qubes is worth trying as a more secure OS? I think you mentioned it once wayyy back...
cazalla: looks like one of the cloudhashing.com guys has a new scam at freebitcoins.com to harvest emails at 0.0001 per
mircea_popescu: cazalla well... something else, sure. like a strong signal to the other females.
unbalanced: asciilifeform: my favourite part of that was learning that there's a "Persistence Division" -- sounds like an 80's electronica band
asciilifeform: 'vaccinate' poor schmuck and lock him in an oubliette with a rusty razor.
asciilifeform: i can see it as a grotesque means of execution, however.
asciilifeform: (i can't picture a 'cocaine vaccine' doing anything else, if it works at all)
asciilifeform: think for a minute if the 'why' isn't obvious
unbalanced: Still, hard to find "a greater fool" to dump ATC on with me absent.
BingoBoingo: unbalanced: On the plus side ATC's death highlighted a critical vulnerability in mining economics for alts
cazalla: a romp in the side alley = fear of being caught, but in full view of the public and on display for anyone that cares to watch.. must be something else?
cazalla: i assume you mean in full view of the public and not hidden away up a side alley
mircea_popescu: for plenty of girls being fucked in public is a major trespass, and sexual arousal and taboo breaking are intrinsically linked.

BingoBoingo: unbalanced: You're welcome. It's been a while
assbot: Woooah, a spambot barfed its post recipe on my blog, it's beautiful o_o // http://t.co/AVhrIFXgEK http://t.co/tlrHBHa5Oj

mircea_popescu: not a fan of restaurants either ?
cazalla: off to the side, out of view, yes, but not a habit either
mircea_popescu: cazalla ever fucked a girl in public ?
cazalla: you know, one of the many things i don't grasp about bdsm is what looks like a desire of people to do it in a social setting than privacy of ones own home
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes it was like 2 other guys and about 7 girls. exactly one barely fuckable in the lot, and she looked and acted like a 17 yo cutting class.
BingoBoingo: <cazalla> BingoBoingo, ever been blind drunk only to find that old abandoned bottle of champas in the back of a cupboard and despite being blind drunk, half of it gets tipped down the sink? << Seriously, shit dies within minutes of opening
