BingoBoingo: As far as I am concerned Ahab's mistake was he acted outside of his economic and mortal interests. His job was leading people to get oil, much as oil is gotten now. In bulk and fuck the source. No he wanted to kill one particular whale and passed the opportunity to kill so many others for their incredibly useful fuel.
BingoBoingo: Honestly I'd prefer a nice hefeweizen as breakfast, but OHNO WHEAT CALL THE PALEO POLIZE
BingoBoingo: I'm not the one trying to bring a homo erectus lifestyle into a Cro Magnon world
Diablo-D3: I am superior to Man.
KRS1: I imagine after Japan's nuclear problem, we will have some pretty interesting sushi in the coming years.
BingoBoingo: Having gotten drunk watching Whale Wars last weekend I have to say my favorite ocean going ship now is the Nissin Maru. As delicious as land going pigs are I can only here imagine how delicious their larger ocean going brethren are.
BingoBoingo: If I get an awesome boat though, I am definitely naming it Tilikum's revenge.
Apocalyptic: I've heard Kate is ill
BingoBoingo: As far as I know though from my little bit of having sat in classrooms even the simplest retroviruses tend to have more than a single protein involved, though the definition of single protein can be flexible enough to make possibly an entire buffalo just a carefully arranged protein
BingoBoingo: Oh, and the largest vegas bet I could find for a single player's bet was roughly 700,000 dollars.
BingoBoingo: With a Virus we aren't talking generally in terms of proteins though. Generally the discussion is providing combinations of proteins in a viable form. Pricing chemically pure puree of microbiota is something that I dunno has been done.
mircea_popescu: i imagine it's actually pretty stable if dry
BingoBoingo: I imagine next to nothing mircea_popescu, It only is active in an extrordinarily narrow range of environmental conditions. If you had a dumptruck full on nothing but HIV you'd have a rather useless mass of poorly differentiated protein and little more. That's why the whole folding deal matters even if computers suck at the folding.
mircea_popescu: i wonder what chemically pure hiv would cost per gram.
VanCleef: i'm still hoping he finds true love so he becomes more positive in life
BingoBoingo: Honestly if I had cancer nao the fashionable monoclonal antibodies would scare me more than classic chemo drugs.
mircea_popescu: i was going to say something with urmom in it but nothing good came to mind.
BingoBoingo: VanCleef: I though this had already happened. Just because you want to impose some disney bullshit on Mircea.
mircea_popescu: i mean... you didn't even know they existed before the whole kuru incident.
BingoBoingo: diametric: They might be scary, but I'll be damned if they don't obey the rules of good functional programming.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Well I know the cows don't seem to complain. Since society seems cool to serving long pig, it would probably be possible to use the penetrating variants of the devices which have been banned from the beef industry since the UK got their proteins twisted.
diametric: speaking of.. I need to pop open some dells for asciilifeform
diametric: well, perhaps the compiler diddling does not exist in the wild, but I think we have sufficient evidence that chip fab diddling does.
mircea_popescu: mebbe i didn't pay enough attention, but it seems diff classes of things
mircea_popescu: diametric i meant ken thompson's stuff.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Well, there comes in my suggestion for a concussive implement like a captive bolt device followed by exsanguination. I don't think it is just for the state to do these things unless it is bloody.
diametric: also I'm assuming you own a semiconductor fab too.
mircea_popescu: anyway, they've got cameras everywhere, now hooking up the fridge and the thermostat, i'm looking forward to the netware hitachi wands
KRS1: (how many times I've seen)
KRS1: I sometimes like to refer to the term "feature creep"..can't tell you how many times good devices or software were turned into shat by trying to make it better.
KRS1: idiotic..i always thought we were smarter than that..sadly I'm consistently let down in that regard.
pankkake: I wonder what will happen with hacked self driving cars
BingoBoingo: That was a while back though when I wan n00bier than I am nao.
BingoBoingo: KRS1: I tried getting whole DVD rips in the namecoin blockchain, but those blocks wouldn't propagate and if they did Elegius and the other big pools ignored their having been mined.
KRS1: i like messing around with concepts like that..back in the day i used to play with the tcp buffer size on the internet and lan's and stuff
BingoBoingo: The only kind of fun play with altchain I've found was name coin when I tried sneaking bigger and bigger chunks of arbitrary data in their block chain.
BingoBoingo: KRS1: if you already have the bitcoins I imagine "pricing risk" has more lucrative opportunities available than daytrading.
KRS1: this is why i daytrade a bit..i'm not looking to touch what i have
KRS1: lately i've been looking to pick up some btc for people i know but dont want to buy from an exchange to get them a good deal
KRS1: i'm a miner from a while back..i never have to buy, if i do its for altcoins just to mess around with.
KRS1: i wasnt even soliciting..somoene in litecoin-pricetalk was looking to do a deal when he said "someone make offer" and all i said was "whats a good offer to you"
jurov: that's obvious, i stopped reading after rirst few comments
KRS1: idk i could be wrong just smells funny..just fuckin around with this guy tbh
KRS1: at bitfinex prices i would make $200 on a $5400 deal =/
KRS1: <kcanini> for 230 ltc i can give you 7 btc
KRS1: it would prob rebound very quickly i think
KRS1: Bandwith looks to be the metric for which the services are billed if I'm not mistaken. This looks great.
KRS1: ya I wanted to try here first because I know most of you
KRS1: i recognize some of the names there
KRS1: ya i've been watching the order book..thanks Apocalyptic
KRS1: there will be a time i'll be interested in quantity but not at the moment
BingoBoingo: KRS1: Some people I know from TF's CoinChat back before he/it were scam might be interested in small amounts, but I'll spread your offer around cautiously
KRS1: I should probably ask this in #bitcoin-otc, but would rather here since I know many of you..I'm looking to buy some amount of btc just to get a rating on wot. I had to get a new gpg key.
BingoBoingo: Oh, if only we were still in the patent medicine age. I prolly have just enough knowledge to be a more effective and more dangerous quack than that dude.
pankkake: http://www.wired.com/wiredscience/2013/12/david-agus-rules-to-live-longer/all/ I guess the good news here is that al gore is next
mike_c: pankkake i find that hard to believe, but if true that is the creepiest thing ever.
BingoBoingo: Oh, I've known plenty of them who did.
pankkake: well I wake up every night because of respiratory issues. so… yeah
pankkake: I still don't understand the choice of the drugs, it seems there are better pentobarbital replacements; less "efficient" but you can work around that
BingoBoingo: School Janitors i imagine don't like cleaning up vomit, but it happens.
Duffer1: i've personally witnessed a heroin OD
BingoBoingo: I've been thinking too much about Justice today http://www.thedrinkingrecord.com/2014/01/16/ohio-surrenders-claims-to-moral-authority/
mod6: I suppose this is the problem: https://dev.twitter.com/discussions/24239
KRS1: Chatter in the investment group I belong includes Wells Fargo "high profile" team meeting for an internal opinion on Bitcon. Word is that it is very positive so far.
nubbins`: sorry i missed it, :(
nubbins`: odd, i just missed a telephone call from romania
mike_c: what do i win for my search skills? :)

jcpham: i expected tits
ozbot: Octopus – China: The Council Does Not Plan to Accept Bitcoin | I Love BTC Hot News
KRS1: ya idk..but i knew what you meant.
truffles: i did imply that the nerd in u would "take some sweat" research
KRS1: I think thats all it was.
truffles: i dunno what he was upset about, i gathered he didnt get my pov
KRS1: I knew what you meant.
KRS1: I wasn't being upset about being called a nerd yesterday. I think mircea was
truffles: rarely do i use it as a perjorative
truffles: its insulting i duno
Apocalyptic: I've heard in some case in US you can't just say blind anymore, you have to stay visually challenged now
deego: Apocalyptic: heh, I think challenged and special have become pejorative as well :)
KRS1: I'm not very polically correct. I might have to work on that this year too, but then again it doesn't bother me. Retards are known as mentally handicapped these days.
KRS1: Perhabs a merging of fuckoffs and retards; not to regard the retarded community in any derogatory manner, but instead to give those who should know better the same sub 70 i.q. labelling.
KRS1: I love that word 'fucktards'. Officially adding it to my vocabulary for 2014.
Apocalyptic: maybe in a few years I will have that same comment though
Apocalyptic: honestly i think I don't that much now
Apocalyptic: when I look back a coupla years i realize I was wasting so much time;..
KRS1: Thats very impressive to say the least. I've recently been involved in a conversation of the value of a college degree in the modern I.T. job market. I've actually been laughed at for thinking it has value in these waters. I suppose, even if I did waste my time with a degree in this field, being open minded and thinking critically are benefits that have value regardless. Such as the
mircea_popescu: it's what i do / have been doing professionally. i'm a strategic advisor, and one of the best. what i do is i sit down with boards/ceo teams and guess the future for them.
KRS1: I already see some of this has played out.
KRS1: Impressive. Almost as if you were able to see the future, perhaps by understanding how the problem will play out. I suppose your understanding of philosophy was useful here.
KRS1: initially i saw it as a dilution of bitcoin
KRS1: another word for consolidation i suppose
KRS1: yes i've noticed this pattern before..not just coins..hmm.
KRS1: i cant see through the madness..not sure what to make of it
mircea_popescu: i tell you honestly, i could not have paid for things to work out better.
gribble: I have not seen porquillo.
KRS1: Its a good thing they don't charge for this anymore, I was starting to wonder if I really need this software.
pankkake: asciilifeform: thankfully I have written many little helpers so I can get a machine ready fast; otherwise, it looks pretty ridiculous starting a job and spending the first week configuring the base system
diametric: maybe I could make the paper again
mircea_popescu: i could give a dickhead of me to each girl!
