asciilifeform: nono not that part
assbot: Logged on 21-03-2015 22:59:27; asciilifeform: we don't have a mechanism for producing the good stuff separately, yet.
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=21-03-2015#1063048 << same mechanbism as to produce the good code separately. sign and wot. ☝︎
assbot: Logged on 21-03-2015 22:55:01; PeterL: would deedbot be a suitable place to publish scientific research?
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=21-03-2015#1063033 << at least originally. prolly split off on its own thing once it gets big. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: but i can envisage the day when a) all science is published via b-a, and to read... get in wot

assbot: Logged on 21-03-2015 22:51:01; PeterL: new #B-A need: print off all the articles and store in a library
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=21-03-2015#1063019 << nah, only some of them. we're ignoring most of it : http://trilema.com/2014/how-to-deal-with-pseudoscience/ ☝︎
danielpbarron: in comments for that disney nazi thing: "Who im german and I dont like this we are nice and hittler whs the only bad german"
assbot: Logged on 21-03-2015 22:40:21; asciilifeform: most of the time when i go to that library it isn't even for a specific rational purpose
mircea_popescu: notrly. this is fun.
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=21-03-2015#1062976 << in this vein : http://40.media.tumblr.com/982abc36543d4b8bab3d12582b23fab6/tumblr_mw5pbmKA9N1t16d43o1_1280.jpg ☝︎
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=21-03-2015#1062973 << isn't that how that kid got shot with a nailgun by andreas antonoderpopolous ? ☝︎
ben_vulpes: one of the reasons i'm not targeting macos for RI builds.
mircea_popescu: or to any approach that includes anyone but apple making money.
ben_vulpes: apple is pretty much anathema to the #b-a approach to compute.
mircea_popescu: i briefly considered adding an apple apps thing for s.mg
ben_vulpes: and the ghost of steve is yet prepared to rip it out from beneath us
ben_vulpes: always keeping in mind that it is a rug
ben_vulpes: we've been looking into the apple "enterprise deployment" story of late
mircea_popescu: think of the children!
mircea_popescu: how are silk road copycats supposed to make enough to run away with if you won't give the pillheads "loans" yo ?
cazalla: felipelalli, if you only use it to borrow, i don't really see the problem with you using it, but i'd never lend
cazalla: felipelalli: I ran to qntra.net to read something about that and for my surprise I didn't find anything. But now I understand why. Not fully yet, but I can at least understand your point of view. <<< fwiw i would never lend bitcoin to people on btcjam regardless of their ability to pay back, i'd never use the site to borrow either, so i guess it's not so difficult to see why i would not write a story on it either
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=21-03-2015#1062896 << this is kinda how the illegal racing world works. ☝︎
assbot: Logged on 21-03-2015 21:59:40; nubbins`: *i* won't buy it, but since when does the market cater to rational actors?
assbot: Logged on 21-03-2015 21:56:58; decimation: on the other hand, perhaps apple is just trying to 'enumerate goodness' in its 'forced wot'
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=21-03-2015#1062860 << except a)nobody trusts it and b) it doesn't actually trust anyone. lots of scammy devs make it on account of w/e fee. ☝︎
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: rms has a term of art for it, 'tivoization'
mircea_popescu: apple "open" : we'll give you some fiction to read while the thing boots ?
assbot: Logged on 21-03-2015 21:47:01; decimation: the developer in question had already made a deal with apple to publish the app apparently. I couldn't even compile my own version unsigned for my own personal use
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=21-03-2015#1062825 << how the fuck is this open source. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: lots of "unthinkables" needed to keep the soviets going.
assbot: Logged on 22-03-2015 02:22:03; mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the problem with jurisdictions discussed recentlier is deeper than it seems. plenty of usians do not think other places are "real places".
assbot: Logged on 21-03-2015 21:00:49; asciilifeform: the option of not having the bugs is presented as not even thinkable.
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=21-03-2015#1062798 << you know ? just as unthinkable as the http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=22-03-2015#1063368 ☝︎☝︎
assbot: U.S. Army - Booby Traps - Banned Cartoons - YouTube ... ( http://bit.ly/1DJqk7y )
ben_vulpes: nearer that southern port city
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: "but muh jerb" << when you open a metal shop in #b-a, perhaps i can go and work sweeping floor there.
mircea_popescu: haha, re that, must has animaniacs
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: oh hey can we do the whorehouse cafe?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform no, because they stick to the touristy traps anywhere. stopped for coffee earlier at whorehouse cafe, table across two lost derps with ipad propped on "south america on a shoestring". muy confused.
mircea_popescu: for a good chunk of the audience, this is actually so. it's not even a real country.
mircea_popescu: which is why stuff like "putin doesn't understand how thw world works" can be said with a straight face
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: this is not accidental. folks who travel from usa to english-speaking (or most western eu in general) aren't actually leaving the empire
PeterL: plus, most of them would say they *could* leave, if they wanted to
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the problem with jurisdictions discussed recentlier is deeper than it seems. plenty of usians do not think other places are "real places". ☟︎☟︎
asciilifeform: 'Kazakhstan! greatest country in the world! all other countrys are run by little girls...' (tm)
PeterL: this is the best country evar, why would I leave?
asciilifeform: even as thought experiment
asciilifeform: how many folks in usa went on an airplane even once? did it not occur to not buy return ticket?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform just sayin', doesn't occur to them.
asciilifeform: or whether such a thing even makes sense
mircea_popescu: but o may gawd, leaving THE COUNTRY, unthinkable.
mircea_popescu: really it should be "leave the states and eat ... to your fill".
mircea_popescu: hence the idiocy of "eat nothing else but ...."
mircea_popescu: some make it through
mircea_popescu: people still stuck in the soup get at the margins various such desperate cries from body.
mircea_popescu: im 100% sure this is where all the "Fad diet" stuff comes from too.
gribble: Lathyrism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lathyrism>; Lathyrism: a neurotoxic disease.: <http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6422318>; Lathyrism | Doctor | Patient.co.uk: <http://www.patient.co.uk/doctor/Lathyrism.htm>
mircea_popescu: sadly i don't have the patience or the tools to actually get into the microchemistry of it
mircea_popescu: i think it was either a protein or fat that was needed for god knows what. because phase passed.
asciilifeform looks for al schwartz's table of plant toxins; can't find at the moment, but recalls that chickpeas were near the top for something or other
mircea_popescu: "what do you want to eat today ?" "chickpeas"
mircea_popescu: one chick went through a chickpea phase where she ate > 100 cans over about a year. half of it within the first season.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes i dunno dood. milk's a big thing. various fats, various vegetals.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i honestly think it's exactly accurate.
asciilifeform: almost sounds like the '80s 'chelation' theory
mircea_popescu: then after a year or two as the body re-learns to associate food with micronutrients - all sorts of urges, as it approaches various layers of problems
ben_vulpes: what are the limiting reactants?
mircea_popescu: in general, you gotta overfeed to lose weight. because the only way the body is even touching some of that stuff is if the liver is full of all sorts of micronutrients to render it with
ben_vulpes: body building fat reserves to park toxic crap in?
mircea_popescu: but you can readily notice the pure chemical osmotic source of "weight gain" when the woman eats 50% more calories and loses weight.
mircea_popescu: "us "food"" technically. first set because answer to q, 2nd set because well...
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform all the classical symptoms of light poisoning.
ben_vulpes: an exercise in slimming down a rubenesque babe lead to...liver prazlems?
mircea_popescu: not even malnutrition. simple sane diet will make the woman sick, anemic, the works.
PeterL: so we need to render and extract the usians before making them into soap
asciilifeform: and malnutrition turns the organism uniquely underequipped to deal with the released crud.
mircea_popescu: and yes it has been tested in practice.
mircea_popescu: everything the liver culdn't cope with, got stored on the thighs
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform that's exactly it. american fat is more like, chemdump
asciilifeform: on account of various strange in their american diet
asciilifeform: the gist is that folks will croak long before they turn auschwitz-thin
ben_vulpes: what's the gist, though
asciilifeform: and i forget who suggested it to me
asciilifeform: aha. has not been tested in practice, afaik
ben_vulpes: i'm unfamiliar with this hypothesis
asciilifeform: that weren't there in '40s
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: there is a hypothesis that this will not happen this time around. because of sudden release of fat-soluble poisons
ben_vulpes: you've seen the auschwitz photos...
ben_vulpes: by the time the corpses are available, they'll have scavenged their own fat prior to dying.
mircea_popescu: oil at 45 a barrel tho...
asciilifeform firmly convinced that there are no entirely useless things in this world
mircea_popescu: contrary to what they claim in fight club, best fat base is like, various nut oils etc.
mircea_popescu: i know a girl that makes soaps and stuff. she wouldn't touch the coarse stuff.
