mircea_popescu: and as a side note,
that's how probation came
to be : originally clerics (ie, university students y compris) could claim eclesiastic jurisdiction before
they lay court, and be
taken before
their rector
to be judged
there.
mircea_popescu: it exists so as
to exclude
the scum so people who can
think can do so, and young people who could one day
think can come
there
to be away from
their idiot families, small
towns and government.
mircea_popescu: an university is by definition dedicated
to exclusiveness.
mircea_popescu: "hey,
that's exactly what should NOT be a value of yours, core or no core"
mircea_popescu: such nonsense
tho. "our police department remains comitted
to our core values of donuts and shooting
the nigger"
chetty: got
to love
that freedom of speech right
mircea_popescu: the university of maryland is a fraud.
those can't be
the core values of an university.
mircea_popescu: "The University of Maryland remains committed
to our core values of respect for human dignity, diversity, and inclusiveness."
mircea_popescu: is
this your ploy
to make me invent
thought
typing for you ?
chetty: dont forget
the
tin hat
mircea_popescu: anyway, make mesh of
two wires, so
that on each hole you have at least one spot of wire at - potential and one spot at + potential.
then
the size of
the hole and
the intensity of
the emission
tell you how much potential you need in
the cage.
mircea_popescu: hence passive. it is still a radiator in my
theoretical view of
things, because it COULD
mircea_popescu: chetty i guess so does all your dust plus
the cats, huh
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform let's forget optical fibres for a second and consider
this : on a standard keyboard, making a spoke portrude from each key so
that from a width-long perspective each spoke is separated by any other is
trivial mechanically. lighting one width and sticking a camera on
the other width
then resolves
the problem,
chetty: ouch, worse
than having a fan run while you sleep
mircea_popescu: make a sort of cyclotron in your living room, all electrons end up on
the plate.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i was
thinking btw, faraday cage is essentially a passive radiator element. what if made active ?
mircea_popescu: yes, but "shield
the screen" vs "shield
the screen and shield
the keyboard"
mircea_popescu: who knew
that ipad style on-screen kbds will actually have at least one advantage ?
mircea_popescu: but re-reading, you actually mean
the mechanical keyboard pressing is
the source
mircea_popescu: i was simply
thinking a 2nd kbd with a rng
tied
to it closing circuits.
danielpbarron: Contrary
to popular opinion within
the false Christian world (2
Timothy 3:1-5 & 4:3), God is a Man, as Exodus 15:3 plainly declares. Not corruptible (Romans 1:23; 1 Corinthians 15:50), not created (Psalm 90:2), not a man who progressed and "achieved his exalted rank" as Mormons
teach (see
the report on Mormonism). But nonetheless,
the Lord is a Man. He is a Man of war.
nubbins`: sounds like you hold an opinion as
to
the nature of your god; would be interested
to hear
funkenstein_: nubbins it's just
that you aren't used
to romantic languages
nubbins`: yet another way
to jack yourself off with self-importance: refer
to "god" as a person
Vexual: the base player might have done
the ssame
Vexual: "aim for
the head asshole"
Vexual: you're better off not wearing inflamatory
tshirts
Vexual: oh
theyll shoot you
till you're dead
then yell at you
to
take
the shirt off
nubbins`: Stuart Duke, defending, said
Thew had been an in-patient at a mental health unit and was still in prescription of anti-psychotic medicine, but Judge Lakin said his mental health was 'not a contributing factor'.

t-shirt with vile slogan just hours after murders of
two policewomen is jailed for eight months | Daily Mail Online ... (

nubbins`: oh and you cannot change
the email address associated with your account w/o contacting support
nubbins`: oh and you need
to "verify" your bitstamp account w/ gov photo id
to even deposit btc. fyi.
nubbins`: ;;later
tell mircea_popescu Alare Kool is from Bangladesh!
☟︎ mike_c: ben_vulpes: I do have complete history, and was
the only paying customer of kako's socket when he
turned it off.
danielpbarron: mircea_popescu> because
the hot peppers are like lsd + speed << haha yes! I
tripped out from eating
too much hot sauce once; home made ghost pepper salsa or something

Adlai: spread
the spell of god
Adlai: ok enough
tunespam
thestringpuller: funkenstein_: a little. my nick is reference
to
the godfather. a
terribly good movie.
Vexual: and
twice
the horizons
to any light polluting
town
Adlai: similarly
to how gut bacteria play a larger role influencing personality
than, say,
the skin cells on
the bottom of
the foot - despite only
the latter being 'human'
Vexual: yes, i've seen clear nights hundred of kilometers from
the nearest campfire
Adlai: funkenstein_:
there's also
the initial contents of memory upon powering up
the device - ie,
the 99.9...% of
the egg which is NOT dna
funkenstein_: morning string puller. you sound like a musician
too :)
funkenstein_: the small one is also visible with
the naked eye but you need a darker place for viewing
Vexual: is it seen with
the naked eye?
Vexual: what lat you at on
this big spiining magnet in space?
Vexual: thats what im
thinking, it's more of a philospohy of effects not described my empirical shit
funkenstein_: the word gets used for stuff like relative position in
the organism, protein folding influence
Vexual: is
there a fruitfly experiment or anything?
funkenstein_: could be explained, but not completely or only by
the sequence
funkenstein_: and folks who
think intelligence is genetic don't have it
chetty: well epigenetics is starting
to be explored, but its so politically incorrect no one will
talk much about it
mircea_popescu: (conversely, it's usually
the case
that you do require a
trisomy or other polysomy
to get
the actual worst performance available - kids with such genetic defects are almost universally retarded and sterile)
mircea_popescu: (trisomy is usually a copy of one or
the other gene, but it doesn't actually have
to be - it could be a mix of
them, which ~could~ be a legitimate new gene, if mindbogglingly improbable)
mircea_popescu: which may put it in
the billions
to one odds of happening, which means
that we know enough about genetics since
the genome has been sequenced
to make judgements about on par with
the quality of
the pseudoscience
that gave us "global warming" and "carbon"
mircea_popescu: and it is unlikely but
technically possible
that you actually require a
TRISOMY
to get
the
topmost performance.
