moiety: yeah i can understand
that
moiety: in scotland, if you hit a deer and kill it, you are allowed
to
take it home
Dimsler_: mircea_popescu,
that jew plead not guilty
moiety: lol
their graph looks
terrible
jurov: anyway,
this is lost cause
jurov: when
the eye is accustomed
to dark, it's ver sensitive
KRS-One: guess you can flash
them easily but only for a moment here and
there
moiety: i'll find it if you want
to see it
jurov: just flah when
the beam crosses
the
target
moiety: asciilifeform: not quite but i like
that one way more XD
jurov: they don't need
to be steady
KRS-One: the further away
the more shaky and inaccurate
they get..you can barely hit
the moon if at all for instance.
KRS-One: i still dont understand how laser pointers can be steady enough
to light a moving airplane cockpit from
the ground at a distance
moiety: i meant it had an effect on me
though
jurov: if i arrange it,
there will be pics
jurov: at least so
that peron
thinks
moiety: liking
trains is not a prerequisite
to being able
to handle graphic death in front of you
jurov: that should just shrug off someone lightting
the cockpit
jurov: that was not
the point
moiety: every
time he was back in
the cab or w/e its called on a
train
moiety: he couldn't get past
the flash backs
jurov: some
to
that point
they'd accept such discharge
moiety: you know a driver
that has had a jumper?
jurov: i say, i know
them personally,
they are severely overworked
moiety: i doubt
train drivers hope for
that
jurov: yes, and everypone forgets
the next day
jurov: som
they actually secretly hppe for
that
jurov: the
train driver gets leave only if someone
throws himself under
the
train
jurov: and nope,
they slashed
the jobs, constant overtime, nos sick leave
jurov: for example one would
think
that german
train engine driver is comfy occupation
jurov: maybe. or maybe
they actually have
to accept considerable overtime instead
mircea_popescu: it's one of
those fields like specialist surgery, workload X, workforce epsilon
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform in honesty i doubt your average pilot really needs excuses
to
take a break.
mircea_popescu: well actually i
think pilots should just be beaten, personally, but
that is besides
the point.
jurov: benkay, just mircea with ascii going on
that pilots are pussies and
they should just shut up
benkay: who is
this we you go on about
tonight
jurov: you can always slam your feet
to brakes
mircea_popescu: but i will be pleased
to be given
the proper form
to report such events for
the future
mircea_popescu: somehow people never crashed
their car into
the fire
truck because "whoa, i got blinded by
the illumination of
the cockpit"
mircea_popescu: and incidentally,
those shits are loud, it can startle you
mircea_popescu: i was once in a car and
the fucking ambulance illuminated
the cockpit with
the lights
jurov: if
the lose hight vision even for few seconds,
that;s okay?
mircea_popescu: during
the same interval a number of 59739845 bored women reported
they were "almost raped"
jurov: so
this is coplaetely fabricated data?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i still dunno wtf
they do for practice
training, srsly, but
they are atrociously bad.
jurov: In 2009,
there were 1,489 laser events logged with
the FAA—that is, pilots reporting
that
their cockpits were illuminated by
the devices
mircea_popescu: i suspek you might have not had
thought
this
through so much.
mircea_popescu: the victim may see it, but how would
the sharpshooter see it ?
mircea_popescu: jurov you
think sharpshooters use
the red laser dot 1km away ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i'm waiting for
the day when one becomes vragnaroda for owning a collection of unexpurgated kvant
☟︎ jurov: so
these laers sharpshooters use are just a gimmick and completely useless for aiming,
then?
mircea_popescu: i bet you you will not be able
to produce
this within 8 hours of
trying.
mircea_popescu: and
try
to shine
the laser into it while it autoshoots so
that you catch it in a pic.
jurov: so i can believe
that pilots do have issues
jurov: as i say, i do have some experience. it wasn't kilometer, but also
the power was much smaller
jurov: whatever, just
try it on yourself
jborkl: No, honestly I forgot until
this conversation
that options are standard
the way you have it written. I forgot
the standard
tbh
jurov: just
try it sometime,
mircea_popescu: jborkl did you mean
that you read "Put option expiring
this month struck at 500 USD/lot."
to mean "500usd/btc" ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you don't understand. at one astronomic unit away
that million
ton cheese
thing i nthe sky can appear six inches wide!
gribble: Error: Something in
there wasn't a valid number.
mircea_popescu: it is six feet wide and magically 3600000
times as energetic
jborkl: Well, I read it different but I fully understand
the math behind it so it doesn't matter. I just rwadbit different but I see what you are saying
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
they don't bother with power calculations do
they
mircea_popescu: jborkl well and
the
text on
the page says "One lot consists of 0.1 BTC".
mircea_popescu: jborkl you expect
to buy a put at 5k for 1 btc lots for 0.67 ?
jborkl: The
text says one lot is .1 btc but mkopt and sell are still dominated in 1 btc lots
mircea_popescu: if
that's
the standard of evidence required even female orgasm exists.
jurov: i jut shown you
the medial helicopter video. it does exist,
too
mircea_popescu: this is different from one guy somewhere
thought he might have heard something.
