mircea_popescu: a slightly pudgy 37 yo woman in iowa is not slinking
towards her car in a parking lot among crickets because she is going
to get raped
mircea_popescu: your average soviet bureaucrat would avoid committing
to paper as much as 1+1=2 , if he could get away with it. and sensibly so, because... you never know.
mircea_popescu: they know enough
to steer away from
those places where
they can most easily be caught being stupid.
adlai: also i don't follow why you
think
that i have
this expectation, or
that it affects my problem(s)
adlai: don't worry, i believe
the same nonsense about my discovery
mircea_popescu: it's not "a
technology", specifically in
that it's not made
to serve man.
mircea_popescu: adlai i
think pretty much
the entirety of
the problem stems from your outright bizarre expectation
that bitcoin will somehow suit you.
the correct approach is exactly
the opposite : change yourself
to suit exactly.
☟︎ assbot: Logged on 07-02-2015 18:14:06; jurov: so, let's do s.mpoe first
then
danielpbarron: speaking of netbsd;
that's what i'm researching as a candidate
to replace archlinux for
the pogo
punkman: speaking of baggage,
there is a
type of gpg packet
that can cause an infinite loop in version 1.4.16 and before
punkman: I assume
this has less baggage
punkman: asciilifeform: punkman: micro-ecc << very interesting. mainly in
that it is actually small enough
to read. << speaking of small
things...
mircea_popescu: also,
this is all positive
testing. what you want is negative
testing. entirely different beasts.
mircea_popescu: and mucosal
transudate, which possess increased levels of IgG relative
to saliva"
mircea_popescu:
the choice of screening assays employed. For
this reason, investigators have developed specialized collection devices
that enhance
the level of antibodies, particularly IgG, in oral specimens, ensure sufficient specimen volume, and include reagents
to prevent microbial growth and proteolytic breakdown of antibodies. In general,
this has been accomplished by collecting oral fluids enriched in gingival crevicular fluid
mircea_popescu: "This is due, in part,
to variations in
the
type and volume of oral sample collected, how
the sample is handled prior
to
testing,
the concentration of immunoglobulin (Ig) G present, and if
testing methods have been modified
to accommodate
the use of oral fluids. In early studies
that reported poor sensitivity, whole saliva was used and
there was little consideration for
the volume and condition of
the sample needed and
mircea_popescu: logically,
the antibodies are not often found where
the virus is not often found.
the human machine is still a machine,
trying
to be economical if possible.
mircea_popescu: your
test will probably be in
the double digit failure rate, which is laughable. i suspect it is impossible for chemodynamic reasons
to make it single digit, which makes it impractical
mircea_popescu: at
the size of
the proteins involved,
there's not really
THAT many billion units in a saliva sample.
mircea_popescu: is it possible
through pure chance
to miss an infection because it just didn't happen
to go
to saliva ?
mircea_popescu: but anyway hiv is not ever going
to be diagnosable in saliva.
mircea_popescu: not likely
this'd have happened and no mention in spanish/portuguese press.
mircea_popescu: all hits on Bruno Amorim
that are relevant
to
this story come from
telegraph.co.uk
adlai: amazing how
this
thing just keeps running while i'm in here, almost like it's not human
adlai would rather not be liable for ancient sea creatures running off with your bit-gold. placing bad
trades is another matter, but
this is measurable with much more resolution
than solvency
jurov: and i can submit company papers
to kraken and we'll see. but it will need really good agreement as
to who is liable
jurov: so, let's do s.mpoe first
then
☟︎ adlai: this is actually why i suggested
that for an mpif pc, it'd make
the most sense
to run
the bot on s.mpoe itself
Dimsler: lol looks like mircea made it on reddit on
the feminist board
jurov: if it was extra asset with stipulation "if buttfinex fails,
tough luck"
then
that's naother
thing
jurov: and if
this is going
to mpif, default is not really viable
assbot: Logged on 05-02-2015 01:19:42; mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> adlai: why does it have
to
test on actual live-fire btc anyway? << so he can make a buck ?
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski
to quote adlai above, as far as
the young actors are concerned, "it'd
take half
the
theatre
to make it worth
their while" :D
pete_dushenski: and i
think my reservation lies mostly in
the lack of commitment
pete_dushenski: for
those interested, venus in fur is apparently playing pretty well everywhere
these days
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski part of your disbelief also comes from you
thinking in plain
terms of d/s whereas
the show seems
to be
thought more in
terms of "a coupla switches get
together".
adlai has lost money from garbage data spewed by finex's "trading engine" during extreme load... but he's also making >⅓% daily
there, which has its charms
pete_dushenski: only
to fall head over heels for a slightly more verbose version of
the same
thing
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu which is precisely what
the male protagonist bemoans in
the opening scene of
the play
jurov: well, not all of
them are based on reusing previously published gnarly code
adlai: jurov: but which specific episode are you referring
to?
adlai isn't aware of a major exchange
that with a satisfactory history
mircea_popescu: i can't begin
to imagine how people
think actresses are
to be
taken seriously if it's plain obvious
that should a drill sargeant manifest and yell "STRIP!" she'd start
trembling like an eight year old.
pete_dushenski: maybe it was just
the pussy director keeping
the actors so reigned in
mircea_popescu: <pete_dushenski> it was so strange
to see an apparently confident woman be so physically inept <<<
this is quite a problem, yes.
pete_dushenski: but was merely something
to be believed in one's own head
pete_dushenski: it was so strange
to see an apparently confident woman be so physically inept
pete_dushenski: having been written in
the last decade,
though, it's no huge surprise
that venus in fur was
timid at best
pete_dushenski: interesting idea and even some shining moments, but
the script was out
to post-post-modern lunch
adlai is one of
the youngest folks around here,
to his knowledge...
mircea_popescu: but, apart from
that, your life, live it as you
think fit.
mircea_popescu: yes, and
the oppoortunity
to have
the same problem in 2016.
adlai: or 100% of
the profit from using my own 10btc
mircea_popescu: nah, first
timers get a few % of
the profit, and at
the end of a whole year.
☟︎ assbot: Logged on 05-02-2015 01:27:14; mircea_popescu: well, if you make a f.mpif pc and report your
trades, say daily, and submit monthly sum reports, i dunno, 10 ?
mircea_popescu: aww, global warming -> climate change is not a
trope creator ?! WHO KNEW!!!
mircea_popescu: rday's proved-to-the-hilt atrocity story can become a ridiculous lie, merely because
the political landscape has changed."
mircea_popescu: f his own side, without ever bothering
to examine
the evidence. Recently I drew up a
table of atrocities during
the period between 1918 and
the present;
there was never a year when atrocities were not occurring somewhere or other, and
there was hardly a single case when
the Left and
the Right believed in
the same stories simultaneously. And stranger yet, at any moment
the situation can suddenly reverse itself and yeste
mircea_popescu: "I have little direct evidence about
the atrocities in
the Spanish civil war. I know
that some were committed by
the Republicans, and far more (they are still continuing) by
the Fascists. But what impressed me
then, and has impressed me ever since, is
that atrocities are believed in or disbelieved in solely on grounds of political predilection. Everyone believes in
the atrocities of
the enemy and disbelieves in
those o
assbot: Logged on 07-02-2015 03:20:14; asciilifeform: let's rip out openssl in
the simplest way
punkman: "It's not maintained by enough people, given how big it is, and it contains a lot of old cruft
that should be gotten rid of. When it got re-engineered from version 1
to version 2, version 2 got re-engineered in
this abstract way [so]
that it's hard
to figure out what's going on on
the back end."
punkman: "Matt Green, a professor specializing in cryptography at Johns Hopkins University, said he has looked at
the GnuPG source code and found it in such rough shape
that he regularly assigns chunks of it
to his students for review. At
the end I ask how
they felt about it and
they all basically say: 'God, please I never want
to do something like
this again'"
punkman: sad because he shows cool
things
that we
threw away
mircea_popescu: sad because you
thought "one day i
too will be stupid and senile like graham" ?
