danielpbarron: he got a bunch of people
to pump up Namecoin which caused more miners

to
the price
to decrease

nubbins`: TheNewDeal
this is a different
type of public
danielpbarron: my problem with seals is
that
the admins are in denial
that
they cannot possibly ban
their way
to a collusion-free poker environment, and refuse
to integrate
the Web of
Trust
to allow users
to control who
they play against
xanthyos: "I
think
the people who are *real* bitcoin guys don't stay in public." (Michael Dean)
TheNewDeal: I swear it was someone in here explaining how
they had obtained multiple royal flushes on
the site
nubbins`: not for much longer
they don't!
TheNewDeal: NASA is massively overfunded, but
they

dub: that
they were cheating
Vexual: i accidentally listened
to
that radio for a few seconds: if i ever move
to us im stopping into beverly hills 1st
to have my ears removed
TheNewDeal: You can call
the man an idiot, but he can at least graph
the natural universe at a much higher rate
than probably 99.99% of people
that inhabit
the earth
danielpbarron: <+xanthyos> "neil degrasse
tyson is an idiot" (michael dean) << he's right
TheNewDeal: Micon has half a brain,
to say
the least
dub: can't listen
to
these
tards
mircea_popescu: <nubbins`>
think about
that for a bit << seems rational
to me. where'd you put it ?
nubbins`: it's okay; i'm a man of
the chair
mircea_popescu: <xanthyos>
THE "CHAIRMAN" OF SEALS WITH CLUBS BTC POKER SITE << lol no wai ?! iirc seals had an actual owner
nubbins`: Vexual

xanthyos: "neil degrasse

mircea_popescu: <BingoBoingo>
thickasthieves: It

the economee goin

the math faculty is actually under
the department of religious studies
dub: fuck is
this? just micon?
xanthyos: i'm antitheist. i KNOW
there's a god and i'm resentful of his domineering father figure-ness
BingoBoingo: thickasthieves: It
tried
to serve me nearly 1 MB of JS for maybe 15Kb of content
BingoBoingo: thickasthieves: How much js did it serve you off of
those includes?
thickasthieves: <+BingoBoingo> So, Microshit has a new web authoring
tool.
This is one of
their official samples... Admire
the suck // lol
that is a horrible website
BingoBoingo: Vexual: Well... Someone has
to run
the combines
BingoBoingo: (I mean in
the sense North Africa and
Texas are where cotton is grown nao)
nubbins`: so, doesn't happen
too often :)
BingoBoingo: Ebola is
the greatest
threat
the cotton Industry has ever seen?
BingoBoingo: TheNewDeal: "Do No Harm" unless
the result is funny?
TheNewDeal: BingoBoingo re busy-geckos. Why in
the hell would he point
that out
to
the woman?
BingoBoingo: And lest we not forget
the dude in
the right place was checked out for
the day when
the East Room was breeched
decimation: yeah, and in reality she wasn't responsible,
the 5 derps 'guarding' outside utterly failed
to respond appropriately, and
the woman guarding
the door was shoved aside
BingoBoingo: decimation: You see
this is how Feds avoid accountability. By making distinctions impossible, as in
this example fired versus quit.
decimation: this is a rarity in usg, where someone says "I am responsible" and
they are fired
decimation: BingoBoingo: apparently
the director was 'fired'
BingoBoingo: Also yes, Pittsburg brought in
the Seekrit service
to protect a baseball game
assbot: Did An Old Woman Wander Into
The Giants' Dugout
Tonight?
kakobrekla: but i
thought you were
the best god better
than anyone!?!
assbot: Crazy RxMan:
The Busy Geckos
decimation: I guess if you wanted
to hire a girl
to be a mentat such
tests would be useful
kakobrekla: <mircea_popescu> i know plenty of people smarter
than me, and plenty of people better
than me, < you did not just say
that
mircea_popescu: but politics and policy and pseudo-sciences are full of
this "my
theory allows me
to accurately predict
that i shall now be making an accurate prediction based on my
theory"
decimation: yes, I admit
that
there is little relationship between being 'good at school/tests' and 'being good at life'
mircea_popescu: similarly
the one engine plane is very successful at being a one engine plane.
decimation: it predicted
that
they would succeed in bureaucratic schoolwork, which was mostly
true
mircea_popescu: like when
the
third engine dies we can make a prediction about
the plane's future. *that's* a prediction.
decimation: some of
the people I know who scored very well on standardized
tests made rather poor life choices
mircea_popescu: i know plenty of people smarter
than me, and plenty of people better
than me, and
the overlap is pretty much zero.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> if
they did, i'd be making postdoc studies a requirement for my womenz. << But
they'd all be older
BingoBoingo: TheNewDeal: Basically lines of liver cells can often produce more of certain enzyme pathways if
they need
them, but you are still stuck with your CYP 450 phenotype.
decimation: but
that's not a whole measure of mental ability
decimation: there is no doubt a certain component of "IQ"
that is measurable on
tests
mircea_popescu: if
they did, i'd be making postdoc studies a requirement for my womenz.
mircea_popescu: "predict a vast range of intellectual, practical, and artistic accomplishments. " <<<
they don't predict jack.
BingoBoingo: <TheNewDeal> I've heard
that Etoh in small quantities can (not must) increase metabolism <<
This is actual epigentics in practice and one of
the few examples.
BingoBoingo: <decimation> does whisky deplete
the same metabolic pathways? << Not
the pathways so much as conjugants. Gluconiduration and second phase is a
thing.
mircea_popescu: <midnightmagic> It would be interesting
to know what it was and what
the doctor was
thinking. << you know what it was and what he was
thinking. it was his 28th hour in a straight shift and he was
thinking "booop booop booop"
TheNewDeal: I've heard
that Etoh in small quantities can (not must) increase metabolism
decimation: I heard a story
the other day - a suburban mom commutes
to inner-city Chicago
to
teach. She gets paid double what she would make in
the suburbs - and at her school every kid gets an ipad for showing up for a set number of days per school year
mircea_popescu: perhaps. or
there may just not be a better way
to do it.
decimation: the liver cells could learn if
they were given enough
time
to practice and good
teachers.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu>
the liver is not very well designed (or perhaps couldn't have been better deisgned), which is why it fails so frequently. << But other
than
te portal vein it is Decentralized!!!
decimation: so a nurse who gave someone whisky in 1800
to recover from
the flu was probably far more likely
to be helping
than
the doctor who wanted
to bleed or whatever
decimation: does whisky deplete
the same metabolic pathways?
mircea_popescu: <midnightmagic> usually
that's
to prevent secondary infection,
they're fully aware
that antibiotics don't work on viruses << even so, antibiotics mostly work if not overprescribed in general, and in particualr
they weaken liver function which is essential in viral infections
decimation: nubbins`: much of
the egalitarian idiocy preached in communist/socialism 'merica depends on
the idea
that if people just
try hard enough
they can 'practice'
to become anything
nubbins`: i
think he maybe even knew
the acronyms but somehow
thought
the
two were incompatible.
decimation: nubbins`: highly amusing. perhaps he
thought GPG was something with which you encrypt non-email plaintext
decimation: it's suddenly become okay
to imply
that people might be different mentally, and
that free education can't fix it
assbot: Harvard, Ivy League Should Judge Students by Standardized
Tests | New Republic
assbot: Logged on 01-10-2014 22:28:05; pentestr: mircea_popescu: dude.. GPG and PGP aren't
the same fucking
thing
decimation: my understanding is
that many doctors write for antibiotics
to get patients out
the door without fuss so
they can move on
