xiando: Not sure if joke and I don'
t like the N word but: We do not have any here. None. I have perhaps seen 1 this year. People from the middle east? quite a lot. But no black people.
fluffypony: I went to the Adventure Expo in Salt Lake City wearing the
t-shirts you made
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo well yeah. it's a complicated thing. moreover, simply because one doesn'
t *eat* sugar does not mean glycogen does not exist in their body or anything
mircea_popescu: "Not only is the notion of government by Facebook page about on par with the US immigration policy implemented by wikipedia lookup, but the interpretation offered isn'
t even supported by the original text, which merely says..."
mircea_popescu: cazalla that is true, but it wasn'
t all that explicitly doing that was it ?
aspho: Semantics isn'
t it?
mircea_popescu: for one thing they didn'
t eat fish (seth lived in the nile). for another, i dun recall what their main grain was but definitely not wheat.
gernika: I suspect that there has not been much or any negative selection related to eating grains. Eating them doesn'
t kill you before you can breed. So yes, eventually they may or may not make you fat and give you diabetes, but not before you've had 10 kids fueled on starch alone.
xanthyos: i don'
t know if i'm at liberty to reveal that information
assbot: Logged on 08-09-2014 13:26:02; BingoBoingo: The gluten thing is just because some members of the species don'
t have genetic compatibility with this "agriculture" thing yet...
mircea_popescu: which of these are you giving up because of that silly "evolved" theory ? i wasn'
t evolved to use a keyboard nor to cross the street nor do i give a shit.
mircea_popescu: saifedean: chetty: "but I really don'
t see passing on grain entirely." Try it for a week and see what it does to you. How hard can that be? What do you stand to lose? <<< i'm pretty sure she did try it for a week on and off, multiple times. not purposefully or anything, just, how it happened.
undata: mircea_popescu: I wouldn'
t bat an eye.
gribble: Error: User doesn'
t exist in the Rating or GPG databases. User must be GPG-registered to receive ratings.
mike_c: oh no, i didn'
t get it either. he explained it in channel at some point.
cazalla: twozerofive doesn'
t come around here much now
saifedean: i didnt actually read the link you sent so i can'
t vouch for it, or if it's an accurate explanation of the topic, so i gave you one that i had read which i know is good
ben_vulpes: "i didn'
t actually read the source oh noes"
joecool: if you don'
t like it, get better coffee and learn how to make it
joecool: saifedean: i found out i had severe issues with wheat after i noticed i'd feel better if i didn'
t eat
saifedean: chetty: "but I really don'
t see passing on grain entirely." Try it for a week and see what it does to you. How hard can that be? What do you stand to lose?
joecool: i don'
t miss it, used to ride insulin rollercoaster for years
chetty: <saifedean> oh chetty, those who resist paleo the most are the ones most desperately in need of it!// the paleo idea makes sense to me, and for sure all those chemical and stuff that passes for food is bad idea, but I really don'
t see passing on grain entirely.
saifedean: i don'
t mind automation for as long as it does not compromise the quality of the thing in question. So, a fridge is a good idea to keep my steaks cool for a few hours between butchering and grilling. A deep freezer is not such a good idea coz the meat will never taste the same.
saifedean: interesting... my idea is also to make it a paleo restaurant... if you guys haven'
t gone paleo yet, let me just point that making the switch from the crap that everyone eats today to paleo eating is no less revolutionary than jumping from the world of bezzle to bitcoin
saifedean: in lebanon beef isn'
t very good, but the lamb is excellent, and it is grass-fed
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller saifedean i am familiar with your idea of restaurants. these work as a retirement ploy by old merchants, who have an immense pile of gold in the basement, a pretty wife and don'
t give a shit about what may come, they juist want people to hang out and chat with.
saifedean: because honey badger doesn'
t give a shit, and because bitcoin is the honey badger of money
thestringpuller: i don'
t want to bother anyone with the pain that is regex ~_~
saifedean: compelling, i must say, but last time i spoke to taleb he wasn'
t all that interested in bitcoin. i mean, he finds it interesting to a point, but not to the point of healthy obsession and complete disregard of everything else that we share
saifedean: ah, no i don'
t... i've been trying to learn the ropes
dub: i think the learning is (or was since years ago) don'
t use tor
mircea_popescu: Naphex on a related note, i really don'
t get all these derps going "oh you know what ? i'll run a hertzner vm through this magic layer. presto, totally anon!"
mircea_popescu: i didn;'
t get around to reading it yet, but its in the pile.
jurov: but a hdd died, so i don'
t have pre - .9 blockchain anymore
mod6: you know, incase you'd like to have a binary that isn'
t bloated with debug symbols?
mod6: so has anyone else noticed that the makefile doesn'
t provide a way to build /without/ debug flags? lol
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it was a fun thing to make, that. i think i still have the publisher responses somewhere, "omg you write the greatest letters and whoa so sorry i can'
t publish this"
PeterL: Oh, my computer can'
t get chrome, in VM Ubuntu the chrome says it can'
t get the latest flash
PeterL: I don'
t feel like I need flash enough to get a whole new browser
PeterL: but old enough that it can'
t upgrade to newer versions of MacOS
JorgePasada: PeterL: Couldn'
t you just download a custom browser package that has a version of flash bundled with it then?
PeterL: asciilifeform: re flash: my daughter's school uses some online math games, requires flash. I tried to log her in, can'
t because most recent flash is no longer supporting linux or pre-'08 macOS
mircea_popescu: at some point in the cold war, the united states president was a totally inept ninkompoop, principally remembered for having taken his shoes off in the un council. this guy had an oversized military and inept economic policies that stalled the country. his fellow americans didn'
t think much of him, kept making little mistakes.
mod6: well, i guess there isn'
t anything I can do now, other than sign it again with 512 ://
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform so ancient that you can'
t setpref to SHA512?
mircea_popescu: oh, wait, because the audience is demented and can'
t be trusted ?
punkman: adlai tried posting to mail list, but you don'
t have his key yet
punkman: I can'
t get a decent gingerbeer around here, been considering brewing my own
punkman: yeah the gingerbeer wasn'
t bad either
mircea_popescu: wait. this dumb schmuck is talking to someone who isn'
t satoshi about how his fambly jesus christ
zanza: but the main Forex companies are so regulated by government I don'
t want to deal with them
zanza: but you can'
t trade currency with BTC right? like Eur/USD
zanza: so the price change doesn'
t effect you
mircea_popescu: also if you queue incoming requests you can make sure you don'
t overrun your resources. sorta like how phuctor works
mircea_popescu: so in this sense, it's politically useful. while i can appreciate the philosophical argument of "epsilon is still fundamentally different from 0", it doesn'
t carry as much practical importance as all that. for one thing, everyone feels entitled to tax you .1%, including any bank moving your money, and so on and so forth. heck, the miners are taxing about 0.1%
mircea_popescu: manwhile, if they subscribe to this, they don'
t have to : "i won'
t pay you any tax, not for any other reason than that ~i already paid~".
RagnarDanneskjol: mircea_popescu i suppose the notion of taxation in any form makes my brain burn -whether it be through force, state declaration or moral requirement. I am all in favor of the foundation and will likely contribute more than .01% of my earnings to it, but pressing a moral obligation or establishing a rule/precedent for 'taxation' for anyone participating in btc commerce just doesn'
t make
cazalla: RagnarDanneskjol, i don'
t think anyone said you had to sign it
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform anyway, "we're ~cracking down~ dontcha know, notwithstanding that we have no authority. this activity without effect could nevertheless which could affect scams we sponsored to try and destroy this thing but it didn'
t work out".
mircea_popescu: jesus the wot is packed so thight you can'
t even throw a rock at the swamp without hitting someone
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yeah, because the scams hadn'
t already been cracked down upon a year ago, right here.
mircea_popescu: shouldn'
t grep -v -f (x rand(x)) y rand(y) be a function of x*y ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i don;'
t think the wired story has anything to do with anything. for one thing... they EXPIRE ?!?!?!
punkman: suppose everyone in assbot wot signs the declaration. doesn'
t make too much sense to keep 450 copies of the same document.
