mircea_popescu: lkol wait. 21 thing won't accept btc for its "product" ?
mircea_popescu: kinda been degrading tho, curious if there's the required 1-200 btc left in the eth cheerleader camp to get it back on target.
mircea_popescu: originally it looked like the aim is to go for 5:1
BingoBoingo: Oh, I guess that was oe
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Yeah, haven't seen any deca BTC bets since the qntra
BingoBoingo: Some folk must really want to fuck mircea_popescu
BingoBoingo: Seems the Bitbet even slowed a bit after the bet.
mircea_popescu: interestingly enough, poloniex lost its 50% eth trading marketshare. now #3, #1 being something "gatecoin"
BingoBoingo: Gravity has been and always will be the ultimate shitlord
mircea_popescu: that's just the world being unfair.
BingoBoingo: Then the knees fail mechanically due to the load they bear.
BingoBoingo: But seriously the big malingering complaint is now labeled "fibromyalgia" and there is actually a therapy that keeps these hams sated. Stong compounded mixes of tricyclic antidepressants and NSAIDS.
mircea_popescu: annnnnd it takes 1st place.

mircea_popescu: that's 100% of psycho, and most of nonspeciffic pain (which only exists because gps wanted a loophole to prescripe medocal social security to healthy men) and then "old age/shit habits" diseases. like some arthitis types (aka gout)./
mircea_popescu: one of the most lucrative and so often targetted by pharma spaces is where doctors go "dunno, let's try this. and that. and then see."
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Ah, now most of the new "biologics" released in the US are for various forms of "autoimmune" arthritis but not really.
mircea_popescu: <BingoBoingo> But even now those things are going from treatments for the rare and debilitating to treatments for the common and hammy << exactl;y, and these two go together. we're now at the point where "important" vaccines for purely imaginary conditions are being pushed out. srsly, some people get nonspecific pain from what may be a viral infection ?
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> but the 'research' is not happening. << this is a point.
BingoBoingo: Never mind the cheaper combo is more effective against what either treats and gets literally all the save-Africa subsidies
BingoBoingo: But now the solo drug costs more than the combo.
BingoBoingo: Actuall rather commonly used medicine. Part of 'Malarone' the premier anti-malarial cocktail.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform> why this particular schmuck was chosen as the whipping boy of the day << was in the news recently, '87 born catamite of "tiger fund" gonzo increased price of some shitty expired patent medicine nobody else was manufacturing because us is as springy as a dead halibut.
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron watch the guy being like 112 lbs and really awkward too
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Consider bupropion, the one USG blessed mood regulating dopamine reuptake inhibitor. Simple chlorinated amphetamine on the ring. I wonder more who can't make it than who can
asciilifeform: of course, i won't know when this has happened, you'll have to ask somebody who lives on the 'tide usd' planet.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: at some point, the 'intellectual property RIGHTS!!!!11!!!1!1' idiots will get what they have been so loudly begging for: underground pharma labz in every town.
BingoBoingo: But even now those things are going from treatments for the rare and debilitating to treatments for the common and hammy
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Hence the caveat
asciilifeform: and this is more or less universally known at this point.
asciilifeform: but the 'research' is not happening.
asciilifeform: the $100/mg thing was grudgingly accepted by many thinking people on account of 'must fund RESEARCH!111!!111'
asciilifeform: based wholly on the presence of armed thugs enforcing 'intellectual property'
asciilifeform: being able to charge $100/mg for an organic sludge is a crown concession.
asciilifeform: so the 'disease is rare, 1mg pill costs $100' thing is a crock of shit.
asciilifeform: with no bureaucratic obstacles in the way (Officially not intended to be fed to human) - can get ANYTHING made for $20K or so, in Kg+ qty. ☟︎
asciilifeform: i watched it happen, on usg tax dollar no less.
asciilifeform: know what the crowning glory here is? no drug whatsoever in an ~actual free market~ could ever cost $100/pill. it costs less than this to pay ukraininan chemists to make $arbitrarycompound.
BingoBoingo: Uric acid, still expensive after being under a dollar per arbitrary time span supply
asciilifeform: it's a piece of orchestrated hysteria to draw fire away from the serious operators.
BingoBoingo: But this is not the first dirt cheap drug to turn uranium plated by any stretch
asciilifeform: rather than 'nuke intellectualpropertyism, dekulakize and publicly behead everyone who profited from its imposition'
BingoBoingo: Or Obamacare breaks... pretty sure the goal here was breaking Obolacare
asciilifeform: the one thing you can be sure of it that at the end of the day the 'answer' will be something like 'pillz cost too much, need moar obamacare'
BingoBoingo: Sure, it galls at first them you heal... and the scar galls
asciilifeform: this is the most galling thing, to civilians. recall mircea_popescu's 'pound of flesh' article.
BingoBoingo recomends if one gets malaria one ought to do so outside the US at the moment
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Sure. Darl was a lolcow because he forced his position on ambiguity. This one though lolcows by hitting everything and only those things he is explicitly allowed to.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: ~this~ particular l0lcow wouldn't even be a lolcow if he hadn't insisted on trolling all of usa with cameras rolling
deedbot-: [BitBet Bets Bets] 2.00000000 BTC on 'Yes' - The ETH scam won't see 2016 - http://bitbet.us/bet/1199/the-eth-scam-wont-see-2016/#b24
BingoBoingo: The differnce between Darl and this pharma lol-cow is all this one does is use the rules exactly as intended without ambiguity
BingoBoingo: Pharma has had a few more "soft power" understandings. Like if the Jews in Israel at Teva can break even on a generic it isn'r really abandoned and such.
BingoBoingo: Darl McBride's sphicter was chronically relaxed, prolly too much botox.
BingoBoingo: And in pharma when it happens they have steroids
gribble: Darl McBride - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darl_McBride>; Darl McBride | LinkedIn: <https://www.linkedin.com/pub/darl-mcbride/0/889/95b>; Darl McBride - Wikiquote: <https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Darl_McBride>
BingoBoingo: But it is also the ONLY thing one can do
BingoBoingo: And yes the is "having problems"
BingoBoingo: Only scandal is he is a young buck taking the old stags to task
asciilifeform: the 'easy button' normally leads to 'have problems'
BingoBoingo: So why not get all of the Do-lolars?
BingoBoingo: He realizes that he has an easy button to get ALL of the dolalrs
asciilifeform failed to parse this sentence
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: COnsider though that this particular pharma slug is taking the other pharma slugs demanda upon the FDA to their logical extreme
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: 'must' my arse. fda as it exists today is a creature of the pharma cartels.
asciilifeform: my current understanding re: the firm from the link is that it specialized in ultra-low-demand items for which there is unlikely to be competition from foreign generics. clever.
asciilifeform: consider, where other than pharma does cost have no impact whatsoever on demand ?
BingoBoingo: But the short story for #b-a regs is this a a corn problem. If you can you must, and the FDA says you must,
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: SInce it is old news but super trending I'll have a piece on the particulars of this FDA sanctioned pharma racket in the next day or so
asciilifeform: but in the purely physical sense, a $10 (not even speaking of $1000) pill of ANY CONTENTS WHATSOEVER makes precisely as much sense as a $1M software package.
asciilifeform: why this particular schmuck was chosen as the whipping boy of the day, i do not know. but tlp's dictum 'if you're reading it, it's for you' comes to mind.
asciilifeform: also usg giveth, usg taketh away. a 'pharma ceo' has so much as one cent purely by the good graces of hitler - who helpfully keeps penny-a-pill indian generics mostly out of u.s. market ☟︎
assbot: Logged on 22-09-2015 14:34:46; mircea_popescu: does anyone even use that thing ?
danielpbarron: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=22-09-2015#1282482 << daily, as a tea timer, albeit the worst tea timer there ever was (doesn't work X% of the time due to requiring internet connection) ☝︎
assbot: Logged on 23-09-2015 00:20:26; mircea_popescu: i bet the "controversial" ceo now uses his vast wealth to fucking hang the entire troop of assholes, including the da involved.
BingoBoingo after last outing with steel pole in the back yard picked up a pair of sweet gel bag gloves today. The steel pole felt like butterfly kisses wearing them.
BingoBoingo working on making sure someone else won't when it comes to kicking Bingo's ass
assbot: BECK$ on Twitter: "@danielpbarron I'm personally too busy to kick your ass but don't worry I'm sure someone else will" ... ( http://bit.ly/1WhlLYq )
danielpbarron: https://archive.is/SQvAX << doesn't this just sum up all of progressivism? "I have an excuse as to why I can't do X, but I'm sure someone else has it covered anyway."

shinohai: cazalla: could be, does have that Catlyn Jenner look going on.
BingoBoingo: This is going in a basement space where a prior retard fucking drywalled the basement ceiling
cazalla: stands are shit BingoBoingo put a pole and bracket up in ya backyard and hang off that
BingoBoingo in other news is finally trolling craigslit looking for an affordable heavy bag + stand combo
cazalla: shinohai, tranny?
mircea_popescu: i bet the "controversial" ceo now uses his vast wealth to fucking hang the entire troop of assholes, including the da involved. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform what's tyhe logic where!
shinohai: https://twitter.com/TechCrunch/status/646464253520662528 <<< looking like that, I'll bet she could disrupt damn near anything.
assbot: Logged on 22-09-2015 23:09:41; mircea_popescu: no, they won't. they'll sit there and cry.
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=22-09-2015#1282992 << what's the logic here...? ☝︎
shinohai: I further explained the sheer idiocy of using a cloud instance to mine with, I wasn't some redditard from r/beermoney trying to collect dust.
shinohai: CS told me when I paid for initial service it wouldn't be a problem. I tried to explain it in the clearest way possible.
shinohai: Accused me of "mining" from the get-go, shut me down, I bitched and got it back up only to be charged that insane fee.
shinohai: I still have an account, just not gonna try and run bitcoind there, especially when they don't have a clue what it is.
BingoBoingo: fuck them
shinohai: I might host a node down the road a bit, my experience trying this with Atlantic was less-than-stellar and set me back some.
shinohai: That's what I'm using, a cruddy old laptop. Glad it was in the library locked up really well.
gernika: Would like to get my machine in a DC - but the cheapest hosting rate for a 1U I can find around here is $200.00/mo. Which is 4x more than I last paid for the same service.
BingoBoingo: 365 to 370 has been the slowest part of my craptop sync so far
shinohai: amongst other things.
shinohai: waiting on realbitcoin to sync at least gave me time to make a sweet tmux config for it.
