benkay: i gotta run me one of
those
BingoBoingo: midnightmagic: Well, sometime
these factors do: import importance
midnightmagic: BingoBoingo:
That's a function of weight. By weight,
titanium is stronger
than steel IIRC.
benkay: but still; it sounds like you expect everything uploaded
to be freshly made
BingoBoingo: I mean additionally midnightmagic Factors other
than
the mechanical factor in at some point. If you want
to make a machine
that flies,
titanium by weight offers obvious advantages over any steel.
mircea_popescu: out of your average highschool you can make maybe five minutes of audio, worth 1mb, 30 seconds of a movie
tops, worth 5 mb
benkay: you
think
that's all fresh content?
benkay: mircea_popescu:
the internet has indexed
the vast majority of
the audio out
there and is now digesting all of
the digitized porn.
BingoBoingo: midnightmagic: I
though
that instead
the lesson would have been
the world consists of compromises. If you make a control system for a nuclear weapon, a well documented and radiation hardened Vaxen is probably
the proper
tool. If however you want
to watch dogs and cats on youtube with no other concerns a modern intel CoreWTF processor might be ideal.
midnightmagic: A vanadium annealed bracket would have probably helped. Don't buy any more knives from wherever it is you got
that one. :(
BingoBoingo: neat, but irrelevant when you are pulling a
tiny slivers of steel out of your hand and
thigh with
tweexers.
midnightmagic: You know
those weird old wootz steel blades
the persians were fond of? Apparently *with use* it's possible
they got sharper over
the span of decades due
to micro-serrations
thanks
to martinsite deposits.
midnightmagic: That could have been a defect in
the metal or uneven martinsite or cementite formation.
midnightmagic: BingoBoingo:
That's a controllable function of
the alloy and/or annealing processes.
BingoBoingo: midnightmagic: High carbon steels are brittle
though. Incredibly so.
midnightmagic: Anyway, I
thought it was surprising and counter-intuitive
thanks
to decades of pro-titanium public discussion.
BingoBoingo: Who is stonger? A person who can only bench press 100 lbs, but can do it once per second uninterupted for eight hours or a person who can bench press a Dead elephant carcass but
three
times a day as his maximum and can only lift lighter weights at a muximum of 8
times per day
midnightmagic: BingoBoingo: Right. I'm
trying
to say
that
the surprising comparison of steel and
titanium in volume-constrained applications such as
these will basically almost always win in favour of steel, especially ultra-high-carbon steels.
BingoBoingo: midnightmagic: We are dealing with
two volume constrained scenarios here
though,
teeth and drill bits
midnightmagic: BingoBoingo: Most of
the measures of strength apply
to my comparison with
titanium on a per-volume basis.
BingoBoingo: All of
those attributes are "stong"
things
BingoBoingo: "strongest per-volume" means nothing when your unit of measure is
the ambiguously defined strength. Are you
talking weight bearing ablity? Resistance
to shearing forces? Hardness?
midnightmagic: BingoBoingo: Luckily, I defined what I meant in
the immediately preceding line.
BingoBoingo: midnightmagic: "Strength" as such is ambiguous. Could mean many
things.
midnightmagic: Also, steel and its various
types is still one of
the strongest per-volume alloys
that
there is.
BingoBoingo: The problem with any filler material for
teeth is
that
the deal life span for such a patch is 90+ years.
BingoBoingo: Diablo-D3: I'd hate
to recieve
that penetrating shrapnel when it shatters.
Diablo-D3: highly expensive, but
there has been
the rare application where
this happened
BingoBoingo: Even
tungsten carbide drillbits are usually impregnated or coated with
the ceramic
though with
the bulk of
the bit remaining steel. Steel is desirable as a backing material because its failure mode when spinning right round is more desirable
than
Tungsten Carbide.
BingoBoingo: Who would have anticipated putting a
tazer
to clay could be so profitable?
BingoBoingo: Ideal properties of drill bits and abravise wheels conflict at so many points
though.
mircea_popescu: no but consider a large enough abrasive wheel or bit :
the
tooth practically moves liniarly, in its own perspective
mircea_popescu: i wonder if you can have boron nitride
teeth made
to order.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Drills also have
that rotational friction
BingoBoingo: Drill bits
that actually get used as opposed
to gathering dust also have rather short effective lifespans.
BingoBoingo: I'd kind of be scared if
there were a movement
teeth could undertake
that was equivalent
to drilling...
mircea_popescu: anyway,
the issue of friction with uneven pressure : drillbits are not gold,
they're
tungsten carbide
BingoBoingo: FOr other doctors yes, but not
the dentist
BingoBoingo: Amalgam prolly is
the ideal material for fillings
though due
to its biocidal anti-fouling effect.
BingoBoingo: Kind of
true for
the space shuttle as well seeing
the way Columbia got owned.
BingoBoingo: Wearing is less problimatic if wearing as a failure mode prevents violation of an ideally sterile space as opposed
to cracking which often violates
the sterile space.
mircea_popescu: the forum lulz improved significantly since
the opening.
mircea_popescu: "Thanks
to our
technology, we are a combination of online and offline wallet, We are a high
trusted, safe hybrid cloud wallet."
mircea_popescu: think for a moment,
the space shuttle is not shielded in gold.
BingoBoingo: All of
the composites are
too brittle
to survive more
than 5 years in higher wear applications.
mircea_popescu: i dunno
that it's actually
the case gold is bette\r anymore
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Ceramics give a better likelihood of repeat business
than gold does.
BingoBoingo: I.e. Devise a device
that consists of bag full of preservative with integrated cutter. Start a bitcoin faucet
that asks for mailing address and BTC address.
The desperate recieve a kit
that includes bag with cutter device you devised and demands 1 right pinky finger.
mike_c: i like gold implants
though
mircea_popescu: a
tooth implant done well by a specialist is about $500 or so.
mike_c: that was a hefty price for a
tooth given a dental implant is only about $3k
BingoBoingo: A lot of noobs
think running ad covered BTC faucets might make
them money on
the advertising, but
the only honest way
to prevent dupes if you run a faucet is
to require submission of a rare body part.
BingoBoingo: And with
the reasonalable caveats drunk me insisted on like a
three week delay
to acquire post care antibiotics.
BingoBoingo: I guess reading
the logs it looks like I idented and offered
to sell some molars. Sober me
thinks drunk me's pricing works out rather well. I
think I could handle pulling my own
teeth at
the price I offered last night.
mircea_popescu: "I wouldn't have chosen Havelock as
the exchange. Cryptostocks, on
the other hand, allows fund listing with little or no ID or identity verification."
BingoBoingo: Kind of weird
that boring versions get labeled vanilla
though actual vanilla is so scare when Vanilla like flavor is so common.
Duffer1: does Labrat outsource
their div distribution wtf is going on over
there?
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: For
the premium edition. Remind people
the "premium" implies some scaricity relative
to
the vanilla version of
the product.
mircea_popescu: mike_c
the way i do it is
that i occasionally quote some bits here.
mircea_popescu: wait, neobee lost zipzap deal ?
this is
the big announcement ?
mike_c: daily email maybe. i'd pay for
that.
BingoBoingo: I wonder how much
the MPOE_PR Anthology would cost for a bound edition
BingoBoingo: I
the past week
though Coin desk quoted some CEOness and used
their running labrat as a sign of credibility
though
mike_c: you should publish mpoe-pr's btctalk summaries and charge for
them.
Duffer1: FedoraCoin (TIPS) has been added
to
the exchange"

Duffer1: .bait will start linking
to
Trilema
mircea_popescu: such a broken fucking world when
the first 5k images on a google search for "nike" yield pictures of some shitty plastic shoe-things.
mircea_popescu: ie,
the fact
that
the reminbi is not like
the argentine peso.
mircea_popescu: they (rightly) see
that as
their only remaining available lever.
TATdoesReno: just print more money, what's
the big deal
mircea_popescu: without
those people simply giving up on economic activity. or, what's worse,
turning into a civil war army.
mircea_popescu: they need
to somehow explain
that pretty much all
that is now gonegonegone
mircea_popescu: they've been selling all sorts of promises
to
the people.
mircea_popescu: TATdoesReno no but
they seriously have a problem, it's been bubbling up more and more everywhere past coupla weeks
TATdoesReno: I should note
the author has been a gloom and doom predictor before
btcretouch: TATdoesReno:
this news are quite interesting dude,
thanks for sharing..
TATdoesReno: I guess
they are waiting for God withdrawals
too

mircea_popescu: i don't recall it being 30k over what it should be ever
tho.
Apocalyptic: rofl
there is a "usagi" in doge-dice's chat
