ThickAsThieves: <+mircea_popescu> ThickAsThieves 5 before back to 8 or w/e it does ? /// i think i figured out exactly what it does actually

mircea_popescu: punkman: http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/10/05/nobel-chemistry-idUSL5E7L51U620111005 <<< i don't think useful original work has EVER not been ridiculed.

mircea_popescu: o hey, i think i had some bets on that

ThickAsThieves: "Whenever I see that Thiel is giving away money, I get the goosebumps. How comes that he is always mentioned in connection with PayPal, but almost never in connection with Palantir, Prism, NSA and CIA?"

ThickAsThieves: i heard rumors thiel sent a rep to scout Neo, i guess he dodged that one

mircea_popescu: o, i love argentina.

mircea_popescu: but yeah, i'd have listened to it. the shit we talk about with the slavegirls alone would make an hour of excellent show pretty much daily.

mircea_popescu: in very winchell fashion i insisted the contract include an indemnity clause tho, and well... fell through.

mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves i nearly had my radio show in romanian a few years ago.

mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> http://www.mekanizmalar.com/desmodromics.html << i read desdemona in there for some reason, which reminds me of a story. picture youthful mp at maly, for a staging of othello, in russian. now, bearin in mind that in romanian "zdreanta" means rag or figuratively whore, picture youthful mp hearing a very decided othello burst out "davai zdreanta, desdiemona!!1" and go into incontrollable peels of laughter

ThickAsThieves: but i do have a bet on it...

ThickAsThieves: At this point I don't care, as it wouldn't really affect the market price to find out

Apocalyptic: "i.e. just turn on either the microphone/speakers or monitor/webcam to read and communicate with the cardano)?" you gotta be kidding me...

asciilifeform: assuming mr. spam is, in BingoBoingo's words, an 'unsavoury garnish', i'd like to nominate him for red banner of lenin.

asciilifeform: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=LQKkpS3b ☟︎

asciilifeform: strup`fndr> hi, yes I am the same person (startup founder, offered services as well.)

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: by now i'd imagine that assumption is SOP. but we're dealing with a vintage piece here.

BingoBoingo: The punter tried to tackle: http://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/s--E7xeAeZ1--/c_fit,fl_progressive,q_80,w_636/zwp2p9imqfeieamtdgne.gif

danielpbarron: ;;rate fluffypony 3 my PPUSD for his BTC; I sent first, he followed through no problem. double digit BTC

mircea_popescu: i know multiple chicks there, none of them having ever had it.

asciilifeform: 'I receive Welfare. I live off your labor: you pay taxes and I don't do shit, twice a month I head down to the clean and spacious welfare office at 1515 Broadway and pick up my check. ... What, you don't like me? You don't want to pay? It's not much—278 dollars a month. You don't want to pay. Well then why the fuck did you get me to come here, me and a whole crowd of Jews? Take it up with your propaganda—it'

decimation: I think this 'Puritanism' stems from a basic lack of skills on the part of the bureaucratic leaders. i.e. if you don't know how to write a contract for a nuclear submarine, you try to make sure that your employees are well dressed and that 'decorum' is kept.

decimation: asciilifeform: I thought that the usg signed stuff with rsa certs generally

decimation: hehe yeah but they should. I suspect more chickens live and die in the us alone every year than all of humanity

mircea_popescu: i think when people talk of saving things, the don't mean save them in the sense cockroaches are saved.

decimation: I just heard this podcast on "free market" environmentalism: http://www.econtalk.org/archives/2014/08/terry_anderson.html

decimation: I have a simple solution to small aircraft accidents: don't let humans fly

decimation: "I will be there on June 5 at 6:00 pm." Pilots of light aircraft who utter sentences of that form are very high risk pilots, regardless of skill level.

mircea_popescu: now i get why suka.

asciilifeform: a separate piece of x-ray sensitive film was used to read the scatter. When I inquired about the safety of the operatives and their exposure to the potentially deadly radiation, Nicolai laughed...'

asciilifeform: 'I asked him to describe the equipment needed to focus x-rays at a lock and to read them, thinking that the “source” of the radiation would have to be large and well-shielded... ...The answer I received was quite amazing, but I guess not surprising. I was told that the isotopes which gave off the radiation were contained in a handheld tool about the size of a large flashlight. It was pointed at the lock and

asciilifeform: incidentally, i've the pill against 'batteries suck, can't make useful drones in jungle conditions'

mircea_popescu: i have nfi why they imagine it'll be useful against "rockets" and mortar shot.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i think it's called shoot and move.

ThickAsThieves: ha! i know that girl in the stock image on punkman's link

mircea_popescu: i recall this particularly instructive event when derpy noob woman started her own couture brand & shop

asciilifeform: kakobrekla: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=2T065Axn

kakobrekla: better we assume i dont.

asciilifeform is not convinced that cheap civil aviation in usa died a natural (i.e. market) death.

asciilifeform: airplane scam << https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ERCO_Ercoupe#mediaviewer/File:1946_Ercoupe_Advertisement_in_Skyways.jpg << i live near the ruins of a factory where these were once made.

mircea_popescu: i have nfi why that bet is so lopsided on yes. for that matter, there could very well be a single block retarget before oct.

mircea_popescu: fluffypony decided ah what the fuck, i can't sell this btc for paypal, might as well dump it on gambling.

ThickAsThieves: i found the email outright offensive

ThickAsThieves: i'll translate

fluffypony: I recently did about $35 000 through the local exchange, and all they did was email me to ask if there's anything they can do to improve their site

punkman: I've had PP limited twice when I spent a lot in one transaction

mircea_popescu: i don't mean from a "you run off with monyz" perspective, loath. i mean "paypal=assholes not keep that much there" perspective.

mircea_popescu: <kakobrekla> i wanna complain to the bitcoin CEO. <<< satoshi is dead son.

punkman: but yeah that MJB design is everywhere. I think I might grab a couple.

punkman: mircea_popescu: you ever seen my huge copper round ? << I thought you'd pull out a dick pic right there

punkman: after sleeping on it, I think I should try to make some of my own coins. Design suggestions welcome.

punkman: artifexd, yeah there's a few nice coins. I liked the Antana concept, but they stopped making new ones. http://antanacoins.com/

kakobrekla: i wanna complain to the bitcoin CEO.

decimation: asciilifeform: I think all USG pens are made by the blind: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skilcraft

asciilifeform: phun phact. when i worked for u.s. army, the building cafeteria had a - blind cashier.

decimation: given the circumstances of the crash, I think it is likely that the cockpit pressurization system failed - or the guy had a heart attack

mircea_popescu: that's what i do, i solve problems :D

decimation: mircea_popescu: I don't think any plane would survive that test

decimation: The other day I witnessed a particularly skilled glider pilot perform full loops, he did 3 in a row.

mircea_popescu: i can throw a rock off a tall building and it'll spoend some time in the air too, that doesn't make it an airplane.

mircea_popescu: "Normally a single-engine airplane has to be spun as part of the certification process. The Cirrus wasn’t. The FAA waived this requirement and accepted the airframe parachute as an alternate means of compliance. I kid you not, the spin recovery in a Cirrus is based on deploying the chute. That is the only way a pilot can recover from a spin in a Cirrus."

mircea_popescu: from what i gather, it was missold.

mircea_popescu: it's only "mine" in the sense i bought one.

artifexd: I have not

mircea_popescu: <Apocalyptic> mircea, I enjoyed the last MPIF statement << cheers

decimation: re: Cirrus http://airfactsjournal.com/2012/05/dicks-blog-whats-wrong-with-cirrus-pilots/ I think the more likely case is that the relatively new and shiny Cirrus planes attract inexperienced pilots with a sense of immortality

decimation: TheNewDeal: the Cirrus planes in question were prop driven if I'm not mistaken

TheNewDeal: I'm saying if I had a million dollars, I would be staying far away from a Cirrus jet

decimation: re: zelda << "Some coworkers and I have been exchanging messages that we, up until recently, believed to be private. In these messages, we said some embarrassing things about mutual acquaintances, including comparing one female coworker of ours to Teflon and another pair of upper-level managers as "Batman and Robin". Unfortunately, these messages weren't private after all; someone posted them onto NSANet! :( Now everyone hates me

decimation: TheNewDeal: I would like a parachute on a small plane, there are situations where it would save your life

TheNewDeal: Most of the planes I have flown on, had no parachute

TheNewDeal: I can't specify a defect. Perhaps poor craftsmanship

decimation: The most amusing thing about this story is the simple faith that Bob Builder expresses in USG: “You could tell the jets were extremely well-equipped and in control of the situation,” he said. “We obviously paid close attention, but at no time did we think we were in danger. I think the jets could have controlled where and when it went down."

punkman: after a bit of spelunking this week, I can finally say "I'VE SEEN ALL THE COINS"

Apocalyptic: mircea, I enjoyed the last MPIF statement

BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I don't remember if he was here or not

mircea_popescu: did i have an email for this guy somewhere ?

mircea_popescu: i hope they're going to move all their reporters covering us news outside of the us, too.

BingoBoingo: "This was my fault. While I don't think it's impossible to fairly cover Bitcoin while also holding some Bitcoins, the reason to make these rules blunt and general, rather than nuanced and specific, is to ensure there's no question about the motivations of the underlying coverage." ☟︎

fluffypony: ho hum. if anyone's interested (since I'm having no luck on -otc) I need a US$ 5,109.83 amount paid via PayPal, willing to sort it out via BTC at ticker last less 5%

asciilifeform: thing is, i knew about luer as per syringes, but never knew you could buy them separately.
