benkay: 'statistics' aside, "Jones found
that people in
their
thirties contributed about 40 percent of
the innovations, and
those in
their forties about 30 percent. People over 50 were responsible for 14 percent,
the same share as
the
twentysomethings.
Those under
the age of 19 were responsible for exactly nothing."
mircea_popescu: some derp
that's
trying
to make a living out of conferences, and looking for sponsors
benkay: the best
thing since sliced cheese, but
they were never willing
to buy it.” Again
the kid said yes. “Then you realized
that anything you’re doing
that has
to be regulated, like making medical recommendations, requires FDA approval.” By now
the kid was demanding
to know how Stamos had guessed all of
this. “You see
these gray hairs?” he said. “It’s
the classic model everyone goes
through. I know it from Phase Forward.”
benkay: “Really, you got
this funded?” Stamos asked. Yes, said
the kid. “But it obviously didn’t work out,” Stamos replied. Right, said
the kid. At which point Stamos began
to piece
together what must’ve happened. “You collected
the data and realized a lot of
the data out
there is horrible, and you couldn’t make sense of it,” he said.
The kid allowed
that
this was
true. “You probably
talked
to CVS—everyone
talks
to CVS. And
they
tho
mircea_popescu: how

technique where you use some knowledge of
the lens distortion
to compute a point cloud
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu:
The
thing is Americans based on pre-fracking
thought reflexively seem
to disqualify nations capable of producing fuel from
the ranks of
the industrialized and are only beginning
to shine
that light on
themselves
benkay: hey smartypants: what's
the 3d imaging
technique where you use some knowledge of
the lens distortion
to compute a point cloud?
mircea_popescu: i can;t for
the life of me figure how exactly russia
taking crimea disqualifies it as an industrialised country.
BingoBoingo: Gawker amazes me in its ability
to oscilate between
the relevant and
the worst fermented
turds in
the sun

the road from a drambuie place

three dee printing get
together is an utter crankshow

to what happens
to american kids when
they encounter alcohol for
the first
time at age 18.
ozbot: Secret Service Agents Sent Home From Amsterdam For Partying
Too Hard
ozbot: Two CNN Producers Arrested in Sad Attempt
to Break into

the old Full Disclosure member addresses)", ie. he wasn't allowed
them

to manul collection
BingoBoingo: MisterE:
The
thing is coyotes don't make sounds like either dogs or cats,
they hoot like owls
MisterE: I
took
that pic, real product
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo for most of
the
testees having
to eat asparagus prolly qualifies as cruel and unusual.
mircea_popescu: somehow nobody picked on "hey, one address per
transaction has its issues as a model" as a result, either.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform:
The way
to reduce piss
test fraud is
to give portions of
the
tested at
times asparagus and other
times no asparagus
mircea_popescu: the fact
that
they can't apportion
the sent btc
to
the various users is
the problem
mircea_popescu: the fact
that
they can show
that some btc made it
there is not relevant.
mircea_popescu: reports surfaced
that
they showed
the same deposit address(es)
to multiple users.
benkay: no shit
they signed from an addy
that wasn't
that
to which
their 600 missing were sent?
moiety: asciilifeform: so basically if i want a job involving manuls, i need
to go
to uni. sucks.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i imagine it's coming, but it wouldn't have worked in
this case.
mircea_popescu: the fact
that i can't univocally resolve
their claims is
the problem, and decoying it doens't breed confidence.
mircea_popescu: benkay sure, but
that was never in question. if I have 5
that owe me 600 btc pay
to
the same one address,
the fact
that i can prove i have received 600 btc in
that address is neither here nor
there
moiety: i
think its a shame
they keep
them in zoos,
they are so solitary
their immune systems cant handle living so near people and modern day life,
they get sick and die a lot :(
benkay: mircea_popescu: kraken signed with
the 600B addy last
time i ready
moiety: the manul is where modern cast comes from,
they havent changed in 12 million years
mircea_popescu: "Like rabbits, after eating
they initially produce soft green feces, which
they eat again
to
take in further nutrition, before producing
the final, solid, fecal pellets."
moiety: lmfao is
this cat polite
mircea_popescu: i originally
thought
they're basically stray cats
that
took
to
the wild
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform interesting,
these aren't really cats, more like leopards.
mircea_popescu: the entire
thing'd hinge on whether
the animal responds
to
the behaviour or
to
the chemical.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Well coyotes aren't
that big and I haven't seen
them in packs here.
moiety: lol
that one is even bigger!!!!!
BingoBoingo: Not seen women do
this. Personally done
these steps a few
times
this winter.
BingoBoingo: Well, coyote handling doesn't involve putting hands
to coyotes either
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: If our local strays were like
that I'd have much less coyote handling
to do on my walks
