mircea_popescu: the only thing the bureaucracy knows how to do, and can in fact do, is in the words of V,

mircea_popescu: or, for that matter, the world trade center bombing.

mircea_popescu: what happened here is exactly the equivalent of, "sniper got obama between the eyes with a shitbullet, while on conference with the security staff"

mircea_popescu: leaving aside that nobody i ever knew was seriously using the newer debian releases anyway for any purpose, you';d have to be fucking insane to think the way this goes is, we kill their heartbleed and they sit and wait.

mircea_popescu: therein included, stuff that merely promises the possibility of it, such as debian.

mircea_popescu: anyway, news at 11. it's not just bitcoin the shitgnomes are after, but the entire stack of software guaranteeing a free world.

mircea_popescu: anyway, off to eat. later all!

mircea_popescu: but perhaps that may be divorced from the ensemble, it's just dumb marketing.

mircea_popescu: the notion of taking a pill a day for the rest of your life however ...

mircea_popescu: im pretty sure methotrexate is not on that list.

mircea_popescu: tadalafil etc may be too soon to know.

mircea_popescu: that's a third of the us economy, and about 30% of the eu.

mircea_popescu: people that derp about "bitcoin changing the world" have very little idea of the changes incumbent. it's things like these. mp will never permit the pharma "economic growth engine", as a for instance.

mircea_popescu: except, on a more subtle, thus more pernicious level.

mircea_popescu: i mean, it's just a replay of the "we have all this fluoridated sludge from aluminum processing and other industrial processes, getting rid of it is expensive, how about getting the city to pay us to add it to the water ?"

mircea_popescu: "want to destroy your kidneys over 3 or so decades while curing yourself from something that's allegedly bad ? pay us 1k a year!"

mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo in particular statins are an excellent example of this insanity.

mircea_popescu: the idiotic us/eu pharma conglomerates have managed to outweigh all the benefit of opening trade sectrets (discussed coupla weeks ago here)

mircea_popescu: much like the mismanaged airlines of the early xxist century managed to lose AL THE MONEY ever made through flying since the invention of flight,

mircea_popescu: i would wager myself to say that this very ill effect of the entire "intellectual property" charade actually outweights all the historical benefit predicated to have been accrued through its existence.

mircea_popescu: basically stuff is selected for that "does no harm" in a particularly short sighted definition of "no".

mircea_popescu: more generally : the pharma industry, which works essentially on the "let's make random molecules and then see what happens" coupled with the fda pseudoverification theatre has managed to produce a lengthy list of very slow acting poisons.

mircea_popescu: http://www.artdevanyonline.com/1/post/2013/09/statins-and-exercise.html << incidentally, this is an excellent point.

mircea_popescu: more power to ya. addy ?

mircea_popescu: "On behalf of Universal Studios, The project was to examine and estimate the impact of piracy on box-office revenues for Universal’s 2003 release of the motion picture The Hulk. Modeled the dynamics of box office revenue and its relation to the number of sites and downloads of a pirated copy."

mircea_popescu: http://arthurdevany.com/case-experience.html "Estimated the delay to the production of “Once Upon A Wedding” caused by food poisoning of the cast and crew."

mircea_popescu: http://www.artdevanyonline.com/uploads/3/1/1/9/3119807/header_images/1392752910.jpg << what the shit is going on in the 4th image ?!

mircea_popescu: ;;later tell vexual http://trilema.com/2014/venetian-republic-and-find-spiritual-music/ there, just for you.

mircea_popescu: (to be fair, in english the butt is a half tun anyway)

mircea_popescu: i think it's a volume measure.

mircea_popescu: and in today's funny spanish por gringos : one way to say butt in spanish is... tonel. literally, tun.

mircea_popescu: most of the people i saw involved are either kids or else native spanish speakers. neither of these makes for very good basis in thought.

mircea_popescu: well, i think they just try to work on very short reserves

mircea_popescu: back to 13 now tho.

mircea_popescu: dollar took a nosedive to like 11s, almost what it was in spring.

mircea_popescu: it cut the printing short for like a week, and then launched some gossip that "it paid the debt"

mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes oh it was a riot, the government raped the (apparently very flimsy) black market ops.

mircea_popescu: so at what point in the paleo diet do you start keeping two chicks around the house ?

mircea_popescu: saifedean so you get to work harder for the same cunt ?

mircea_popescu: what sort of a standardisation group is this!

mircea_popescu: jurov: ben_vulpes asciilifeform, others: when are you going to send your patches in expected format? <<< for shame, you lot.

mircea_popescu: now THAT'd be true scandal. hollyday derp has nfi how to "strategize", you don't attack large submissive groups like women. you attack small but desperate groups.

mircea_popescu: for maximum trollage points, that pua "executive executant" derp should rebrand his nonsense as paleo dating

mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes sounds like a band of twinks.

mircea_popescu: what i meant is, do you fuck like a paleo guy, if you try to eat like one.

mircea_popescu: your analogy is broken, you don't eat 150k year old meat, so you don't eat paleo in THAT sense.
