mircea_popescu: (also, funny story : i visit friend, she's not there, i decide to make tea. i make tea, i taste it, ittastes like shit. eventually i get bored and leave.
mircea_popescu: then i told him he'll have to talk the wife into going naked, he visibly softened.
mircea_popescu: i was telling buanz0 about their bdsm party and he was all like... omg when's the next one.
mircea_popescu: <mthreat> so i guess it's the equivalent of drinking robitussin << ok, i can see that.
mircea_popescu: haven't tried galliano and other herbal shit, but anyway
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo ill give them ths much tho , you can order strega in most cafes and they'll have it.
mircea_popescu: it'll give you a challenge and then you're part of the cool kids
mircea_popescu: re the reddit ghash link, "It's ironic they propose "starting" what everyone else has been doing for years." << this will be the fucking epitaph of bitcoin once it finally fucking croaks
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo well ya they have good wine, but i mean licker
mircea_popescu: and what do you think, he's lookng for something new ?! he's not looking for novelty, he's looking for the same old thing well oiled.
mircea_popescu: "single girl in artclass". does this sound like something to get involved with ?!
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> heat math << unterseeminer. << going into the trouble with pressure watertight sealing for hardware with lifespan measured in months? dunno << he has a solid point. the most important effect of overheat is shortening lifespan of chips. for miners ? who gives a shit, they're bricks in a year anyway
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo: I still don't think 14 Billion by Bastille day is happening. << dunno man. some crazy hash added past coupla days
mircea_popescu: "Purchased credits to read
http://trilema.com Prompt delivery. Great writer, good use of footnotes. Not retarded. Privilege unchecked." << customer reviews.
mircea_popescu: bitcoinpete maybe send him a "Nomination for posts that might not suck : shut up, read assets logs for the next year"
mircea_popescu: i dunno who the fuck is in charge across the pond, but he couldn't be less able if he tried. a regular bismarck in reverse, that guy
mircea_popescu: fda thinks it's a good idea to annoy the european elite in the gullet, which is prolly the one thing they care about
mircea_popescu: exact fucking time to mess with this, when russia is pushing as hard as it can and iraq all but became an official al-quaeda state
mircea_popescu: which reminds me of the recent cheese wars lol. i dunno who missed the "oh yurp, you don't want our gmo crops ?! we won't want your messy cheeses then!!11"
mircea_popescu: it's always the unintended side consequences that are the more interesting.
mircea_popescu: come to think of it, it should be interesting to see just what new plasmids become available for bacteria's game of bioshock now that there's all those genetically engineered crops around
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo meant the agricultural/synthetic thing a reference to an earlier discussion about how industry and agriculture compete for financing. you prolly recall it
mircea_popescu: (their only limiting factor is that human cells don't have a defense either, and rarely do you get a bonanza like tpi that's 5k as afine to bacteria folic process as to human for unknown reasons)
mircea_popescu: the sort that we've obtained synthetically, however, generally have no defense.
mircea_popescu: and yeah, some plasmids exist for circumventing some antibiotics, the sort that we've obtained "agriculturally" so to speak.
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves assuming it loads. i'm two seconds in here.
mircea_popescu: so the pre-existing defense theory doesn't really hold as well as all that.
mircea_popescu: in principle bacteria would have as good a chance to develop immunity to tpi as it would to penicillin. they're both antibiotics (granted, one static, the other cidal, whatever)
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo yes, but when developing resistance is in question.
mircea_popescu: the only way bacteria meaningfully exists from an evolutionary standpoint is that it passes itself on
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo perhaps on the grounds of my ignorance, i see little value in the bacteriostatic / bactericide distinction
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo this is approximately correct, especially if you focus on things such as penycilin. not quite as true with substances such as say trimetoprim
mircea_popescu: i guess their victory was of such resounding nature in that battle that now hsbc is doing it
mircea_popescu: i recall a few years ago designers getting all butthurt against design contests
mircea_popescu: nevertheless, their deployment in practice does not (a state of affairs asciilifeform periodically protests with a parachute example)
mircea_popescu: think in the following terms : the tools mpex will use any to defeat any attempt at enacting a sovereignity claim superior to its own certainly predate any such claims
mircea_popescu: while the plasmids may actually predate it, their use likely does not.
mircea_popescu: still an open question as to how much iathrogenic pathogen virulence is due to you know... better hospital techniques.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo for all you know, a world without listeria is the prerequisite for a better strain of herpes
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo i wonder what the ecological impact of listeria's disappearance would be like.
mircea_popescu: if he had a few slaves around the house whose lives and physical integrity depended on his good humour, he wouldn't find himself ossified in this form of compensatory idiocy.
mircea_popescu: these are the hidden costs of " welfarism" : that in order for its pretense to be maintained, the actuality of a caustic environment for the natural needs of the superior has to be enacted.
mircea_popescu: it is, but only because of the poisonous enviroment in which their socialist conationals soak them.
mircea_popescu: this is how people like me end up when they're 50, if they don't have the sense to bdsm etc
mircea_popescu: that's not even the objection. if you read his contributions in his own comment thread above,
