ben_vulpes trudges back into the wordpress mines
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: this is not about fools; it's about something that is legitimately counter-intuitive to 'civilians' - who usually assume, correctly, that a www repo is authoritative.
ben_vulpes: i weary of guarding fools from themselves already
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: "githug" yes, i understand the weaknesses, and it deserves a callout

BingoBoingo: Well the benefit of many small choppers is that the people releasing them may escape long enough to die in the name of brining the enemy other pain
asciilifeform: 'asymmetric', to use the american term.
BingoBoingo: Tiny chopper is definitely the more interesting concept
asciilifeform: the large chopper is really more like something the americans would use.
asciilifeform: or in the day, and let the idiots shoot one another with own small arms while trying to bag some.
asciilifeform: let them fly to and weld onto the victims at night, quietly and with no fanfare.
asciilifeform: it takes, what, 100g to perforate an airplane?
asciilifeform: with thermite limpets.

assbot: The SJWs Now Get To Police Speech On Twitter « The Dish
assbot: gavinandresen comments on Peter Todd on changetip. Not a real Bitcoin app. Could be done in same way by PayPal
mircea_popescu: ;;later tell richih listen, your blog is down. there's no point sending broadcasts if your thing can't take the traffic.
mircea_popescu: so on they trudge, unable to deliver any value to anyone, supposedly worth however many bezzelions.
mircea_popescu: i mean... it claimed to be worth money. then it turned out the entire thing was fraudulent, through and through. nobody got put away, of course, because this is the us and "tough on crime" maryjane
mircea_popescu: that groupon thing is such a scandalous failure.
BingoBoingo: The problem is neither the caller, nor the swatted person. The problem is the proliferation of swat teams
cazalla: http://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2014-11-07-bungie-exec-swatted first swatting i've seen that involved a fkn helicopter lol
cazalla: poor cunt didn't know what to do

assbot: Uber's Ratings Terrorize Drivers And Trick Riders. Why Not Fix Them? - Forbes
mircea_popescu: "nobody will think of wwwwww" ?
mircea_popescu: is this like the new tor ?
cazalla: actually, twice
cazalla: i've been on tv too but not my own show heh
saifedean: lol, i had my own tv show when i was in college...
mircea_popescu: you should be on tv.
saifedean: i'm 34 and in better shape than i ever was, much fitter and stronger than when i was 18. i play football with my university's varsity team, the fittest 18-22 year olds in my college and i'm in better shape than most of them. when i was their age, i was nowhere near fit enough to get into a varsity team, 15 years later, with paleo, i am!
mircea_popescu: well so then.
saifedean: obviously, you can do whatever you want, and you can always have things in moderation and your body will be fine. the problem is when you have things in excess, when they become a regular part of your diet, and that is true for alcohol as well as grains
saifedean: the less sugary, the better, so i think vodka is the least bad
saifedean: really, before you dismiss paleo, just try eliminating grains from your body for 2 weeks and see what it does to you. every single person i know who's done it has changed their life entirely. ☟︎
assbot: Grain Brain: The Surprising Truth about Wheat, Carbs, and Sugar--Your Brain's Silent Killers: David Perlmutter, Kristin Loberg: 9780316234801: Amazon.com: Books
saifedean: lots of good research on the effect of grains on human brains... http://www.amazon.com/Grain-Brain-Surprising-Sugar-Your-Killers/dp/031623480X
mircea_popescu: a fie upon their early graves!
mircea_popescu: imbeciles doing "scientific" cattle raising in europe have sadly made oxtail soup too risky
mircea_popescu: well, all nervous accumulates prions, but i dunno what the situation is for rabbit
cazalla: saifedean, i'll eat the kidneys/liver sometimes but compost the rest
saifedean: the brain is the best part!
cazalla: i've read something about some rabbit brain disease that is not destroyed by cooking
cazalla: no, that goes into compost
mircea_popescu: cazalla you actually eat the brain ?
cazalla ripped the head off a rabbit and fried it in butter with rosemary for dinner.. PALEO!
saifedean: the point from looking at evolution is not to mimic the life of ancient humans, it is to figure out what are the things that make our lives better and what makes it worse. humans love to dip in streams, seas and rivers, and washing copies that. humans only recently developed condoms, and sex in condoms does definitively suck. having unwanted kids sucks more, so you do have to don one, but you would still rather not.
saifedean: "you two are aware that if this were the normal about 90% of urban population would die off through simple starvation within the decade, yes ?" how very publicly spirited of you, sacrificing your own health so you can eat in a way that lets peasants survive in giant urban hell-holes!
saifedean: mp: " eh get out with the paleo stuff. what do you do for cake ?" <<< you stop being a teenage girl about it and enjoy life without these sugar highs and their crashes. Getting your energy from animal fats makes you constantly alert and with high energy reserves, not dependent on getting your next sugar kick to do anything, and not constantly crashing.
saifedean: thanks for the voice, mp!
mircea_popescu: "Dovecot's author takes pride in secure design and implementation. A reward of EUR 1,000 (approximately $1,310 USD, £840 GBP, 130000 Yen as of May 2013) has been announced for finding any remotely exploitable security flaw."
saifedean: it's just that computer literacy, wot, irc gpg, and all that is just too much to process at the same time
mircea_popescu: you really gotta get into the wot
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> who remembers the zoologist who tried, for years, to live on the chimps' fruits, and ended with nothing but very ill digestion? << was this one of the lefty us "anthropologists" that keep going to sleep with apes in africa ?
mats_cd03: they are known to suck

asciilifeform waits for paleobitcoin where we calculate the way the gods meant us to, with little calculi - pebbles.
Vexual: theres no good reasoning to a paleo diet, it's no bread no pasta no fun
