thestringpuller: silent as fuck today
jurov: numismatist’s answer to diamond, for such a coin might last nearly forever.”
jurov: high-value coinage. “Hard, bright, untarnishable and rare, it would be the
mike_c: don't be stuck in the 90's. usability should never trump slick design.
benkay: lol that email form
mike_c: you guys need to start taking the right decisions.
asciilifeform: anyone who buys a berth on mp's 'we piss on patents' atomic battleship should give 'cyranose' a thought.
BingoBoingo: Even supposing the thing identifies tylenol it isn't identifying any interesting high molecular weight compounds
asciilifeform: seems like the homeland seekoority bozos might've swallowed it.
asciilifeform: locked up in patent purgatory to this day, afaik ☟︎
BingoBoingo: Even then, I'd expect it to report a lot of cornstarch, stearate and lipid esters
asciilifeform: i didn't see mortar/pestle in the photo, sorta assumed it must've been there
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: That is one concern. The other is identifying tylenol through the tablet's way?
asciilifeform: don't they make anyone use actual ir spectrometer in school now?
asciilifeform: how does anyone fall for this garbage ?
dignork: it would probably differentiate metal from stone, usability close to zero, but amusing
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: the claim of protein/fat content through surface ir spectroscopy is truly precious.

BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: That's diginork's link. If such a kickstarter succeeded I wouldn't trust it to identify interesting things...

benkay: ah, ty BingoBoingo
Namworld: Those coins would shatter easily and be kinda troublesome.
asciilifeform: speaking of NdFeB: turns out one can now get man-portable, cryogen-free nmr machines based on rare earth magnet. 20k usd or so, used.
mike_c: hashfast ceo one month ago: "I joined this company a month ago because the team is amazing and we are not scammers"
asciilifeform: don't keep these 'coins' with your bank cards...
asciilifeform: no need to weigh it, even
asciilifeform: a NdFeB or SmCo magnet would likewise make a very 'solid' coin, from that perspective
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i suggested it as 'coin' simply as thought experiment in generalizing the 'use-value' of btc. that is, material that cannot be confused with anything else (Hg, for instance, on top of being rather common, can be substituted with 'gallinstan' alloy. but you can't raise melting point of Ga by mixing in impurities - only lower it)
asciilifeform: predictable until some bozo starts buying by the megaton.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Of course, in that way it is like silver, but with a more predictable extraction rate.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: also helps to remember that this 'gold' is approximately as abundant as lead in the earth's crust. but, considerably more energy-costly to extract (byproduct of Al refinement)

BingoBoingo: benkay: My setup looks like that unsee.cc pic I linked to fluffypony
BingoBoingo: It might take what, 1, 2 kilograms to fill a small fountain? The gallium might need changed out every couple seasons due to impurities?
asciilifeform: i'd leave this gedankenexperiment on the shelf. just because you can, doesn't mean that you must. but, on the other hand, nobody's gonna play tungsten games with 'gold' that's liquid at 30c.
BingoBoingo: Yeah, and so many aesthetic uses, Like a liquid metal fountain out in the garden.
asciilifeform: it'd be a shame, though, GaAs is costly enough as it is.
kakobrekla: i thought it was english.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Well, I think retaliation from the Gallium upbidding cartel could take the form of upbidding Indium. iPhones can have problems too.
asciilifeform: to use kako's terminology
BingoBoingo: I like the gallium torroid idea. I was thinking I might be useful for creating small bronze scultpures that could be remoulded almost like clay.

asciilifeform: benkay: docker you install on some server you own to do your own virtualization << this ?
benkay: i use it to nail down environments for a single process
benkay: what does sshd have to do with docker?
benkay: a vps you rent from a virtualization provider, docker you install on some server you own to do your own virtualization?

mircea_popescu: U.S. Magistrate Judge Dwane Tinsley set the arraignment for August 21, 2013 and released Thornsbury on a $10,000 unsecured bond.

mircea_popescu: "[Judge Thornsbury] engaged in criminal conspiracies to violate the constitutional rights of victim R.W. . .Judge Thornsbury conspired to plant illegal drugs on R.W.'s pickup truck; to have R.W. arrested for thefts he did not commit; to commandeer a state grand jury and use it to oppress R.W. and his family; and, after an incident in which R.W. was the victim of an assault, to arrange for R.W., rather than the perpetra
Mats_cd03: exceedingly few animals are capable of domestication and tasty too
assbot: Michael Thornsbury - Judgepedia
mircea_popescu: re bio challenge : no. but this wasn't a magistrate was he
asciilifeform: TomServo: that's the other kind of animal. reminiscent of the folks who still try to weasel their way into usa
asciilifeform: insult to animals. they sometimes have the sense to run.
asciilifeform: what really boggles my mind is all the folks (e.g. a. schwartz) who were turned loose, with the understanding that they'll report to jail at appointed hour, etc. and no radio collar, etc.; now, they probably won't be permitted in an airport, but mexico is not so far...

mircea_popescu: if you do what your government tells you to do you will end up with a life in prison sentence
mircea_popescu: anyway, the unfortunat experience of mr white, the fuckwit who listened to the usg, withdrew his charges against usg agents and is now serving 15 years should be very illuminating to every other us citizen
TomServo: Oh yeah, that rings a bell. What was the bounty on that?
