mircea_popescu: "Dovecot's author takes pride in secure design and implementation. A reward of EUR 1,000 (approximately $1,310 USD, £840 GBP, 130000 Yen as of May 2013) has been announced for finding any remotely exploitable security flaw."
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> who remembers the zoologist who tried, for years, to live on the chimps' fruits, and ended with nothing but very ill digestion? << was this one of the lefty us "anthropologists" that keep going to sleep with apes in africa ?
mircea_popescu: could it be sortable by columns ? (most browsers support this afaik, needs a table class="datadisplay sortable")
mircea_popescu: punkman maybe add a "total deeds in total bundles" thing between the address and your contact ?
mircea_popescu: the pretense of "government" is nothing but exactly that : pretense. useful, to a very limited degree, for fucktards, like the kids that won't "learn" unless there's santa there with the notebook.
mircea_popescu: this guy reading the code and that guy making the log work and so on and so forth
mircea_popescu: but with or without the emperor, clothed or not, it is still the regular folks.
mircea_popescu: i dunno dude. a) not have the problems and b) solve them the same exact way they're currently solved anyway ?
mircea_popescu: this is a pretty good quote. "oh noes, what would we do without government" ?
mircea_popescu: on display was the heroism of individuals, in the Air Force and outside, who took matters into their own hands on the spot, rescued people, monitored the situation, evacuated nearby farms in the path of toxic clouds, and improvised as events required."
mircea_popescu: "As the night proceeded, all of the Carter era military malaise became evident. The Air Force lied to local law enforcement and media about what was happening, couldn't communicate with first responders, failed to send an evacuation helicopter for a gravely injured person because an irrelevant piece of equipment wasn't available, and could not come to a decision about how to respond as the situation deteriorated. Also
mircea_popescu: by the way ben_vulpes mod6 you two plan to make some sort of monthly "state of the bitcoin" address to go with jurov's reports ?
mircea_popescu: it's like a strategic decision that "people who read us aren't actually interested"
mircea_popescu: using stock photos only works if you're read by monkeys.
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> i saw them a hundred times. << the problem with the new, cheaper "media"
mircea_popescu: decimation inasmuch as those things are about as useful as the five foot tall plaster cake in a confectioner's window, wut diff does it make.
mircea_popescu: xiando My childhood friend Charles whos father worked at the US embassy in Norway (black family) told me that using the N word is really disrespectful and hurtfull. << who're you gonna believe.
mircea_popescu: yeah, that's the problem. the way they feel. just like you should be having bigger tits.
mircea_popescu: "I’m not some feminist radical Jane Fonda of the 70s type women, but I hate bras. I hate the way they feel. They are uncomfortable. They bind, they chafe, and when you have small breasts, they ride up."
mircea_popescu: "As a woman, peeing is a very big part of my life. It’s something I do often, and something I do well."
mircea_popescu: nubbins` south africa. i know argentine beef is famous.
mircea_popescu: i had no idea sa is actually famous for steak, but apparently.
mircea_popescu: nubbins`: guy was all "we'll never find it", i described the shape and he was all "o yeah, that one" << bwahahaha
mircea_popescu: punkman: cazalla: you just need more ddos << you know that read "more dildos". which.... hm.
mircea_popescu: cazalla: qntra continues to lose traffic, it's dead << at least it has what to lose lol
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo anyway, as far as i understand (not an expert) the reason neoplasm mostly turns anaerobic is that apoptosis main branch and aerobic respiration share some protein pathways. so it often gets deleted in the same pass as it were, "no electricity" means no music and no light at the same time.
mircea_popescu: in the end conversion from online recipe to edible recipe is cup of sugar -> spoonful of sugar
mircea_popescu: but anyway, from a political standpoint the "no sugar" angle is good. i'm stuck mostly eating homemade cake because everyone's convinced you need sugar by the bucket. "gotta be sweet man!"
mircea_popescu: anyway, pop-medicine is like pop-computing. sort-of php.
mircea_popescu: xanthyos: i resent being solicited for help joining the wot only to then have them go afk << resent less, live longer. definitely happier.
mircea_popescu: aspho i dun think anyone tried just saying it to see if it gets ignored or anything yet.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo well yeah. it's a complicated thing. moreover, simply because one doesn't *eat* sugar does not mean glycogen does not exist in their body or anything
mircea_popescu: saifedean: check out Otto Warburg, German Nobel Laureate in Medicine, whose main contribution was to discover that it is only through sugar intake that cancer cells can grow <<< this is exactly false. for instance, breast carcinoma cells are most always grown in vitro on collagen substrate. collagen is a protein not a sugar.
mircea_popescu: an underpowered immune system, among other things. (then again, other systems, such as a whole array of cellular antioxidants, essentially all the red cell metabolism and all the brain are powered by the carbohydrate metabolism). in short... no easy answers. srsly. we "are evolved" to do everything.
mircea_popescu: andwidth is much wider than the sugars, for the obvious reason. this makes a lot of subordinate wheels be connected principaly to that main engine, much like the alternator in the car is connected to the gasoline powered carnot cycle, not to say the steering wheel. one of those subordinate wheels is actually the immune system, and so in a very pedestrian reading, obtaining most of your energy from the kreb cycle means
mircea_popescu: lobbes: okay.. I can maybe see diabetes.. but to eliminate the possibility of cancer by cutting out sugar and seeds <<< there are some good if not winning arguments in favour. generally, fats are about twice as energetic per gram as sugars. however the power (ie, energy per time) function is much flatter. that's only half the story, of course, because the fat (and protein, they're related, as you'd expect) processing b
mircea_popescu: "Not only is the notion of government by Facebook page about on par with the US immigration policy implemented by wikipedia lookup, but the interpretation offered isn't even supported by the original text, which merely says..."
mircea_popescu: cazalla that is true, but it wasn't all that explicitly doing that was it ?
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo i suppose some sort of revision's in order ?
mircea_popescu: "There are reports that the National Bank of Ukraine has issued a directive on its Facebook page banning the use of Bitcoin for payments within the country"
mircea_popescu: sort-of like we snub our nose at mcdo hamburgers i guess.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes well who the fuck's to know. but anyway, leavening was an innovation roughly at the time, poorly received
mircea_popescu: in any case : they mostly ate firepit baked unleavened clumps of dough
mircea_popescu: for one thing they didn't eat fish (seth lived in the nile). for another, i dun recall what their main grain was but definitely not wheat.
mircea_popescu: and i guess grapes the day the boss' wife was doing the fingertrap.
mircea_popescu: gernika that's pretty much the first stable diet. roman workers/soldiers got bread, beer (liquid bread) and some olives/small fishes.
mircea_popescu: anyway, cancer has a huge genetic component. diabetes a smaller but present one. obviously eating better improves health, but that's a much weaker claim than "do away with"
mircea_popescu: meat only diets are just as toxic, through overwhelming kidney clearances for protein metabolic products. etc.
mircea_popescu: poor peasants in the premodern times got b defficiencies all the time, inter alia
mircea_popescu: gernika actually starch only diets are known to be toxic, for vitamin depletion reasons
