mircea_popescu: they are still large, and not particularly saliva bound.
mircea_popescu: your test will probably be in the double digit failure rate, which is laughable. i suspect it is impossible for chemodynamic reasons to make it single digit, which makes it impractical
mircea_popescu: at the size of the proteins involved, there's not really THAT many billion units in a saliva sample.
mircea_popescu: is it possible through pure chance to miss an infection because it just didn't happen to go to saliva ?

mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski to quote adlai above, as far as the young actors are concerned, "it'd take half the theatre to make it worth their while" :D
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski part of your disbelief also comes from you thinking in plain terms of d/s whereas the show seems to be thought more in terms of "a coupla switches get together".
mircea_popescu: i can't begin to imagine how people think actresses are to be taken seriously if it's plain obvious that should a drill sargeant manifest and yell "STRIP!" she'd start trembling like an eight year old.
mircea_popescu: <pete_dushenski> it was so strange to see an apparently confident woman be so physically inept <<< this is quite a problem, yes.
mircea_popescu: but, apart from that, your life, live it as you think fit.
mircea_popescu: yes, and the oppoortunity to have the same problem in 2016.
mircea_popescu: nah, first timers get a few % of the profit, and at the end of a whole year.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: aww, global warming -> climate change is not a trope creator ?! WHO KNEW!!!
mircea_popescu: rday's proved-to-the-hilt atrocity story can become a ridiculous lie, merely because the political landscape has changed."
mircea_popescu: f his own side, without ever bothering to examine the evidence. Recently I drew up a table of atrocities during the period between 1918 and the present; there was never a year when atrocities were not occurring somewhere or other, and there was hardly a single case when the Left and the Right believed in the same stories simultaneously. And stranger yet, at any moment the situation can suddenly reverse itself and yeste
mircea_popescu: "I have little direct evidence about the atrocities in the Spanish civil war. I know that some were committed by the Republicans, and far more (they are still continuing) by the Fascists. But what impressed me then, and has impressed me ever since, is that atrocities are believed in or disbelieved in solely on grounds of political predilection. Everyone believes in the atrocities of the enemy and disbelieves in those o

mircea_popescu: bitcoin - error only counts if generated by the right software on the right hardware on the right data spot.
mircea_popescu: but in any case - i'm perhaps the worst market for any language. sort-of like a grasshopper is no market for leather goods.
mircea_popescu: lol. i think we did something with it in school. dun recall so well.
mircea_popescu: i don't write any c, either, or c++. i've never written either java or javascript. i sometimes to a little bash, and always to dig up natural language strings in natural language dialects. or otherwise mess the mup.
mircea_popescu: imagine me like a guy that has no poem to write. k ? so i don't write in italian. splendid language for the best of poems, and even for talking melodicly about the tv shows.
mircea_popescu: i think it's a fine language! i just don't have anything to do in it.
mircea_popescu: "Even when there were still plenty of Neanderthals, it must have sucked to be one. The Cro-Magnons would have been constantly coming over and beating you up and stealing your food."
mircea_popescu: "I think that, like species, languages will form evolutionary trees, with dead-ends branching off all over. We can see this happening already. Cobol, for all its sometime popularity, does not seem to have any intellectual descendants. It is an evolutionary dead-end-- a Neanderthal language."
mircea_popescu: "i'm married - gotta make sure my kids have no better anything to look up to than i did"
mircea_popescu: (which incidentally makes me curious, if you get usg advance on promise to deliver and then fail to deliver, do you hjave to repay ? or go to jail ?)
mircea_popescu: and defo more than the lousy one year salary gavin got for attempting (and failing) some
mircea_popescu: they'll sell for way more than the gpg "dev" got to sell out the thing she doesn't represent.
mircea_popescu: and no doubt once they sell to facebook / washington mutual / obama's pubic hair,
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform um. this seems to me just a completely inept, disorganised kid.
mircea_popescu: actually... the swj shit is what the left likes to think the tea party.
mircea_popescu: "It's all crap. This SJW shit is the Tea Party of the left. "
mircea_popescu: phillipsjk trusting summaries, especially when "graphical" is a sure path to perdition.
mircea_popescu: phillipsjk non compliant signatures are non compliant in trivial ways,
mircea_popescu: signatures are a major vulnerability. mostly because nobody in fucking crypto except for us understands the actual constraints.
mircea_popescu: hey anyone remembers these bits i quoted some weeks ago about this woman that did a kickstarter-like thing for her oyung adult novel
mircea_popescu: aawww, troll was a ... woman ?! ethnic ?! NOT POSSIBRU
mircea_popescu: ironically, irc was a big thing when i was a teen. then pretty much forgot about it. only rediscovered it in a frustrated attempt to make sense of the ever mounting idiocy that bitcoin appeared to be.
