TheNewDeal: oh my gosh. Gold from yahoo answers "Unspayed female: drastically shorter lifespan due to
a high rate of reproductive cancer (85% unaltered females die of it before 5 years of age). Extremely territorial, some can be very aggressive, the intensity is often higher than
a buck. You have to deal often with 'false pregnancies' where she will pull out large chunks of fur, nest, and get moody and extra-territorial, often for mont

assbot: An inventory of
a prison pe Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Just your recent article on what composes
a jail
mircea_popescu: fascinating how every.god.damned.diff.bet ends up such
a waffle
BingoBoingo: I make this fuss over the misdemeanor now, because
a reasonable person on the other side can by 8:00 CDT on Tuesday decide to drop this issue for their great benefit.
BingoBoingo: Having
a testicular torsion manually reduced, now that is pain.
Vexual: tell em you need your passport for

BingoBoingo: The thing is @DallasCoolIL fancies himself

BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Actually... I think Mr. Drivethrough J.D. could do

a big IRL name twitter presence?
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I have started the push for
a return of the passport
Namworld: Well WOT ain't all that tricky. Took me
a little while. Once done I was set.
Namworld: The little story just seems to point the obvious, aka
a good/bad event could end up being
a curse/good outcome, respectively.
mdev: besides nothing stopping
a spammer from joining, asking for voice, and do their thing
Namworld: Well that's
a nice little story and all. Although it's true, odds weren't in favor of those outcomes.
mircea_popescu: "So I hold that giving someone
a bad risk measure was just as CRIMINAL as giving someone the wrong medicine. For
a long time nobody sanctioned doctors who poisoned their patients. Why don’t we take on the proponents of quantitative risk management, put them in jail so they stop harming us?"
mircea_popescu: ately, but lead people to TAKE MORE RISK foolishly thinking they know something. [This is the reason I singled out Fannie Mae in The Black Swan as
a firm sitting on dynamite & the International Association of Financial Engineers as
a society of snake oil vendors harmful to society]. After > 1 trillion in losses I can safely say that my statement that the banking system has been taking more risks than they thought SHOULD
mircea_popescu: "Having
a risk number is not trivial. It does lead you to do foolish things, even if you knew that the measure was wrong. If I can show that, many people [who offered quantitative risk measures in finance] will have to be held accountable –& I can show that! One of Fannie Mae director’s,
a quack & proponent of “Modern Finance” charlatanism, kept promoting “scientific” risk measurement methodologies that do not measure ri
mircea_popescu: "So, by tinkering, I figured out that I fare best under the following conditions: no breakfast, working out randomly (but in
a lumpy way: long walks & intense weight lifting without
a scheduled time limit), "working" randomly, fasting when working out, avoiding modern carbs (and modernized fruits), avoiding contact with economists and finance idiots, taking red eye flights & fasting during episodes of jet lag and similar
mircea_popescu: "Finally, beyond the current mess, I see no way out of this ecological problem, except through that tacit, unexplainable, seasoned, thoughtful, and aged thing crystalized by traditions & religions --we can't live without charts and we need to rely on the ones we've used for millennia. Le 21e siecle sera religieux, ou ne sera pas!" << someone needs to shout bitcoin at him in such
a way that he understands wtf we do here.
mircea_popescu: this guy is like me, except older and givingmore of
a shit.
mircea_popescu: "I leave aside the confusion absence of evidence/evidence of absence--and the misunderstanding of the very notion of "empiricism". It is
a fact that in the real world of our daily decision-making 1) we do not have much evidence of most relevant things, yet we need to take action; 2) in most situations, "true/false" is never symmetric (one side is more harmful than the other), so the burden of evidence is one-sided. Which
sedeki: mircea_popescu i have
a hunch you follow interesting blogs. do you want to share?
sedeki: mircea_popescu looking for
a python developer?
mircea_popescu: . Just fucks me off when I see super rich fucks chuck their money around like confetti. Fiat or bitcoin. ( and yes bit of jealousy, but if I was that rich I would share the wealth in
a more meaningful way)
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: I'm not against the approach, but I think this needs
a more unified approach to prevent
a more unified view
