ben_vulpes: people are very aware of how stupid
this is, because i email
them
things
that i want printed
to remind
them
that
they bought a poorly featured printer.
ben_vulpes: they never come with modern chips, so i have
to detatch from my primary network
to use
the printer in our office.
nubbins`: great until you've got a court date in an hour and you can't get your evidence printed in a
timely fashion ;/
nubbins`: ever
try sending your printer a 25mb document via wifi?
nubbins`: wifi-enabled printers, not
the best idea
nubbins`: it's only a crime if you can't afford
to commit it
nubbins`: 're buying it and saying "fuck me and everyone i know who has
this job"
mircea_popescu: the entire "monsanto increases yields" fallacy is based on
the fraudulent proposition
that shit-tomatoes are =
tomatoes.
☟︎ nubbins`: it's not like people are buying monsanto seed and saying "hey, wait,
this isn't what i paid for"
mats_cd03: this is not increasing yields of
tomatoes?
mats_cd03: so, a flounder gene spliced into
tomatoes
that permit growth in regions
that wouldn't support
tomatoes naturally
mircea_popescu: suppose i have a car factory, and you came by and proposed
to sell me a patented mechanism which when added
to
the factory, "increased yielkds' by 50%.
mats_cd03: are you disputing
that GMO crops increase yields?
mircea_popescu: no but i mean... "joe
thinks 3x4 = 12, moe
thins 3x4=13"
this isn't a difference of opinions, inasmuch moe's
thing isn't an opinion.
mircea_popescu: i dunno
that i can in good conscience call
that an opinion.
mats_cd03: it's ok for
things
to go
to shit, as long as some of us can be more productive with
the land
that's left.
mircea_popescu: "it's okay for
things
to go
to shit, as long as
there's more of us" ?
chetty: mats_cd03,
that it mostly kills
those people ...
ben_vulpes: chetty: just a wee
touch of
the inflation hidden in decreasing quality.
mats_cd03: monsanto makes it possible
to feed more people with less. whats not
to like?
chetty: today i buy metal halides
to light
the office, because flourescents are
the root of all evil.//nah just a little branch
ben_vulpes: today i buy metal halides
to light
the office, because flourescents are
the root of all evil.
chetty: uh, something is off here, a prepper
that like monsanto ..no add up
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform remember
the russian dynamo-flashlights ?
mats_cd03: if i had
to, i'm prepared
to single handedly rebuild some modicum of civilization.
chetty: you get hungry enough you wont care what
the source of
the calories is
mircea_popescu: vegetarianism as a chosen lifestyle != vegetarianism as a path
towards untimely death.
mats_cd03: they're still poor, so
they're mostly vegetarian, yes
mats_cd03: meat spoils faster
than dried goods.
mircea_popescu: which accounts for why it only appeared after
the industrial revolution made everything cheap and abundant
mircea_popescu: mats_cd03 i
thought vegetarians had more needs on a distribution network
than normal people
chetty: I do wonder if
the ebola panic will disrupt
the jit delivery system -
that could get ugly
chetty: asciilifeform, go for
the shoe leather first, safer
mircea_popescu: which i guess brings
the side point for all
the latter day big pharma purists : you oppose monsanto's genetic novelties ? how about margerine ?
mircea_popescu: how
their digestion works in humans is mostly a matter of chance
mircea_popescu: but becauise
the process is random, a good chunk of
them are innovative, which is
to say, not found in nature
mircea_popescu: mats_cd03 margerine (which is what all
this crap is) is made by random esterification of various vegetable oils. results in longer chains, which are
technically
triglicerides
mircea_popescu: fun fact : crisco was invented in order
to broaden
the supply base for soap production
chetty: crisco might be better
to
trade at
that :)

the economy
