moiety: lamotrigine can be used in much smaller amounts for a wide variety of things as an add-in
BingoBoingo: as their own shtick or a schtick they milk
artifexd: Reading the wikipedia article on Lamotrigine doesn't give me any reason to see it as useful for a normally functioning brain.
artifexd: I always thought of calcium as "that of which bones are made", not as "that which promotes the making of bones"
BingoBoingo: Let us spz I have "mice" in my garage. Which SKS variant would require the least fussing as I eliminate the "mice".... Or should I just cheap it out on a Mosin?
cazalla: i don't think my levels were too excessive, from memory they were in the hundreds, GP said it would be a concern if it were in the thousands, average being double digits or something, this is a decade ago, i've long ago become lazy and chubby as a result
benkay: (as to how long...)
cazalla: I had a GP tell me to stop using it after bloodwork showed high levels of creatinine in bloodwork, told me to stop lifting as well, didn't go back to that doctor
BingoBoingo: Choline... That on the other hand the body treats in excess as a blessing because you made a snapping turtle's nest your bitch
BingoBoingo: Excess creatine is largely handled by the body's workings as a disease state.
BingoBoingo: Creatine as a supplement is rate limited though to ineffectiveness in many processes
TestingUnoDosTre: only really read about it in the last year or so, my brothers recommend me a book that has other methods in it as well
joecool: they had to manually check me in hospital as most of the auto cuffs couldn't pick me up
TestingUnoDosTre: then i slowly drifted over to the cigarretes, as I began to mix the two
BingoBoingo: joecool: Menthols cost just as much as regular cigs
alexsanjose: so u really see it as a separate phenomenon
alexsanjose: but as soon as the bank does that, they can go after you for fraud, money laundering,e tc in addition to violating UIGEA]
alexsanjose: but as u note its a global phenomenon
alexsanjose: well if u could win on this argument -- It is our considered opinion that Bitcoin does not constitute either “Money” as discussed in the second reference nor does a purchase of a Bitcoin denominated virtual security such as offered on MPEx constitute “the placing of capital or laying out of money” as discussed in the first reference.
BingoBoingo: alexsanjose: I play with cloudbet. I fear it might face the same bet as its line betting predecessors in the space.
BingoBoingo: alexsanjose: Class it as a UK story. They operate in the UTC +-0 time zone
alexsanjose: i tried to pitch it as a world news thing
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla yours wasn't as good tho.
alexsanjose: is it possible for u to win and have no net gain? like so many humans take the same side as u and no one opposes and so u all just get back what u put in?
mircea_popescu: alexsanjose bets as in propositions get rejected, because not everything can be bet on. see the faq on bitbet, it details it.
BingoBoingo: Thanks to Overstock.com replacing Roger Ver as used electronics Bitcoin Jesus I am kinda confident I am BAC 0.257 drunk
mircea_popescu: alexsanjose is that san jose as in san jose, cr ?
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo you know it occurs to me it's probably like a particular cognitive skill, being able to follow irc convos. "disentagle a skein of thought" as the expression went.
asciilifeform: alexsanjose: simplified portuguese << as in 'africaans' vs dutch ?
mircea_popescu: i think it's about 10% as a degree of magnitude
mircea_popescu: TestingUnoDosTre bounce artifexd mike_c and the rest of the supermath python gurus : maybe write a script that takes a bet and spits out the moving odds as the bets come in ?
alexsanjose: the odds shift as the numbers of players and amounts of bets shifts the balance on either side?
asciilifeform: alexsanjose: it takes about the same titanic intellectual effort as operating... a lift.
asciilifeform: 'Fairy Tales are blamed for teaching children that there are such things as monsters. Children already know that there are monsters. What Fairy Tales really teach is that monsters can be killed.'
asciilifeform: (for some reason i always thought of this situation as 'rotor/stators')
mircea_popescu: just as good as snorting except much better.
joecool: BingoBoingo: what are they using as a bulking agent, dextrose?
BingoBoingo: It's physical properties preclude it from being as snortable as say... cocaine and heroin... because it takes quite a bit of alcohol by mass to induce the desired effect.
BingoBoingo: ThickAsThieves: My objection to it as recreational consumer is that the carbohydrates are going to make shit too sweet.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: If he's amenable to the thing I'll probably be inclined to try it as there's a bit more details nao. I'm going to drink on this idea and let tomorrow's hangover show the way.
fluffypony: I played around with arbitrage on BitX.co.za, crappy local exchange, as it generally sits ~5% above Bitstamp, but with a daily volume of ~10 BTC it ends up being a lot of work for maybe $50 in profit
BingoBoingo: I don't think I've ever worked to narrow a spread. I've tried to keep the ATC spread as wide as Hilary's ass.
asciilifeform: yours truly as bored schoolboy
mircea_popescu: holy shit. this is almost as good as the music industry.
ThickAsThieves: required they no longer take a % of the company for themselves as a requirement to presenters
davout: jurov: the rationale is that if you count as valid bets that were sent very close to the time limit, and refund those who confirmed slightly after, you're creating an incentive to cheat since failure at cheating isn't punished
jurov: you clearly label that as improvement
mircea_popescu: it's nonsense to see such a rule in poker, per se. but in the context, as they're trying to map shit to a deck of cards, it makes sense. the change is due to the flaw.
mircea_popescu: much like kids playing insta-ban specific behaviours they perceive as "unfair"
ThickAsThieves: it's also possible identifying these all as economies may help distill/evolve the overall theory
mircea_popescu: "The Bureau of Prisons views any bartering among prisoners as fishy" << funny, seeing how they trade is mostly macks.
mircea_popescu: as much as an irc chan for your wotcoin can suffice.
mircea_popescu: the fact that the points do not conserve. think of a medium of exchange as a family.
ThickAsThieves: jurov that's also not a requirement of the theory as stated
jurov: okay, my another objection is that rating is not done at the same time as transaction
ThickAsThieves: as in the gazette now wants to be decentalized, like bitcoin
ThickAsThieves: it's interesting to me to see how much the 3 separate elements would/could function as economies themselves, and how their traits might converge
ThickAsThieves: [16:26] <+jurov> we need extra-blockchain information to assess them /// do we? each address may function as a user/reputation
ThickAsThieves: i'm merely trying to see whether Bitcoin would qualify as another echo to apply it to, not whether it fits a perfect example
jurov: i understood the gazette as transaction history *with human sematics*
bounce: https://coinfloor.co.uk/team says mark lamb, obi nwosu, amadeo pellicce, and "the team" (among them james "nefario" mccarthy as "senior developer")
mircea_popescu: <only> ThickAsThieves: as long as the 3rd party can be anyone, isn't it enough? << definitely not.
jborkl: Now, the company's critics have fresh ammunition because of this same executive. A federal judge in Kansas has ruled that the man in question, Sonny Vleisides, violated the terms of his probation in the lottery scam case. As a result, Vleisides’ probation—previously slated to end in September 2013—will now continue for another two years.
ThickAsThieves: as in, if one person is selling weed in a jurisdiction he is not allowed, and you are host to that, you are now a target
dexX7: well trustless cross-chain trading is possible (sort of) as well as colored coins <> btc markets
ThickAsThieves: we hadnt discussed the overall decentralizing of a marketplace as a bad thing
only: ThickAsThieves: as long as the 3rd party can be anyone, isn't it enough?
dexX7: bitrated relies on a third party as mediator
bounce: to some people "decentralised" is a buzzword. "it must be decentralised!" -- yeah, sure. leaving aside the "how" for a moment (you did think that one through, didn't you?), there's the "then what?" as in how'd you use that in practice? did you just go from a single point of failure to N of those? how does that make the situation better? what if something goes wrong, someone rips you off, et cetera?
gribble: (seen [<channel>] <nick>) -- Returns the last time <nick> was seen and what <nick> was last seen saying. <channel> is only necessary if the message isn't sent on the channel itself. <nick> may contain * as a wildcard.
mircea_popescu: already good software is gpg based as a matter of course. so what if microsoft doesn't want to sign ?
mircea_popescu: the trouble is that wot is a horrible name, as it's not OF TRUST in the obvious sense, but in the other one. and it'd seem to discuss the actual web, rather than its notation.
ThickAsThieves: thick as thieves
mircea_popescu: it kinda has it, very rudimentarily, as the kick log say.
ThickAsThieves: so not as sweeping as i said
ThickAsThieves: "It is important to bear in mind however that Bitcoin is merely a tool, that what we’re truly interested in is creating - for the first time in perhaps as long as two centuries - an actual, working economy"
ThickAsThieves: so, it's basic first use would be as a test
mircea_popescu: such as finite timespan, and a need to eat.
mircea_popescu: what you prefer viewing things as tho is not a point of astronomy
mircea_popescu: i mean you know, you can view planets as stars, as in the case of venus
ThickAsThieves: i always sorta viewed mediums of exchange as manifestations of time
ThickAsThieves: should it never be used as one?
davout: Blazedout419: no as in "oh really? tell me more" :-)
Blazedout419: only gribble is voiced...and only shows ratings as added
davout: might as well do a little update round
ThickAsThieves: might as well make a whole crest out of it
bitcoinpete: afaik andreas is fuckin broke and just scrapes by as a conference gypsy
mircea_popescu: bitcoinpete ask derpopopulos how come is it possible that danny brewster fucked everyone in the ass, when he never said things such as nigger or put down women for being retarded ?
bitcoinpete: Andreas Antonopoulos posts on Reddit stating that “I was as surprised and bewildered by these events…dismayed that another bitcoin company had imploded amidst allegations of fraud and leaving many investors, creditors and employees with serious losses…all of whom betrayed by Danny” <<fuckin derp
fluffypony: so I pointed out that lending a buddy 200k Dogecoin today is worth a whopping $120, but Dogecoin's market cap is tiny ($44 mil as opposed to $6.2 bil), and would he trust his buddy to not run with those coins if they were worth $17 000?
Duffer1: " PayPal global asset protection officer, told her that as of September 2013, PayPal froze BFL’s account containing $11 million and that PayPal received 6,000 complaints in total."
Apocalyptic: "we do everything possible to make Lavaboom easy to use while keeping the service as secure as possible." HeySteve, you can't have it both ways
Blazedout419: haha "paint me as hitler"
fluffypony: which seems great in theory, but as mircea_popescu pointed out it's easy to fake
mircea_popescu: meanwhile back at the other side of mean : "Problem 4 : Permeating all the foregoing and sufficiently so to become a problem in its own right is the incredible arrogance of the recently liberated corporate slavebois working as independent coders. Seriously, start working on the BTC securities trade system of the future without ever having worked for MPEx, without having humbly presented your inept ideas to the most gra
mircea_popescu: well sure. marketing to people who went to the same school as you did always works well.
mircea_popescu: it's almost as if thery go to a dedicated university to be stupid, these people.
Naphex: that it as far as i know
asciilifeform: '...a detection unit contains three concealed cartridges, each of which houses eight mice. During their 4-hour shifts in the detector, the mice mill about in a common area in each cartridge as air is passed over people paused in the archway and through the cartridge...'
asciilifeform: how: the creature i now keep as a pet was intrigued by the idea, when we met.
