mircea_popescu: <HeySteve> timestamping doesn't initially seem to add much to a WoT, but I'm starting to think the more data points the easier to spot Sibyls <<< wot has timestamps as it is.
fluffypony: voice isn't moderated
mircea_popescu: <HeySteve> a possible solution is moderation << doesn't work for bitcointalk.
HeySteve: timestamping doesn't initially seem to add much to a WoT, but I'm starting to think the more data points the easier to spot Sibyls
Naphex: i wouldn't read too much into it
Naphex: don't know whats going on but one of the guys there is the lead economist at CCP/Eve Online http://vib.is/fraedsla/bein-utsending/
chetty: very statist, fix problems that don't exist thus creating problems that do
ThickAsThieves: Darling I don't know why I go to extremes
ThickAsThieves: Too high or too low there ain't no in-betweens
ThickAsThieves: Darling I don't know why I go to extremes
fluffypony: ThickAsThieves: imho Bitcoin isn't designed to be used for a quick purchase of food and drink...but a system that has convenience + chargebacks can be built on top of Bitcoin quite easily (the way credit cards and PayPal are all essentially built on top of cash)
fluffypony: I don't actually get the relationship
HeySteve: for example. I have low trust of Karpeles, I wouldn't let him watch my wallet
fluffypony: didn't know they still existed
bounce: tangentially, there was a... german? that came up with radar-absorbing paint. refused to sell to anyone but "the government" but those weren't interested. wonder if such paint would get you out of speeding tickets. though with ANPR that's a bit moot these days.
mircea_popescu: bounce i wouldn't trust a tempest-proof case rated as such by a us institution and/or manufactured by a us corp
cazalla: TestingUnoDosTre: don't you bet at the last moment though?
TestingUnoDosTre: I didn't say you wrote it, just posted. "The most important article on psychiatry you will evar read"
artifexd: Another combination of words that confounds me. "Scoop your shit" I don't understand. "Make them yourself" I understand.
BingoBoingo: I guess I can't bet because I am reading
artifexd: "He didn't feel a smith." <- He didn't feel like a creator of stuff?
BingoBoingo: Split that. He doesn't feel a smith. He feels the black.
artifexd: Bottom line is that if one is bipolar, lamotrigine is awesome as long as the side effects don't kill you. If you aren't bipolar are there any benefits?
artifexd: Anchors work even if they don't reach the bottom.
artifexd: "Smoke? Anchor? Turd?" <- I don't understand the reference
artifexd: So why the comment that lithium is not a simple mood stabilizer when I wasn't talking about lithium. Unless you meant that as to also say that lamotrigine is also not a simple mood stabilizer.
moiety doesn't
BingoBoingo: artifexd: Full disclosure. I have a diagnosis of Bipolar I disorder. I can't given reality justify actual meds so i love booze.
artifexd: Correction: I didn't really understand a damn thing.
artifexd: Ok. I've read it. Didn't understand much at all.
BingoBoingo: artifexd: Actually even that won't offer quite a complete picture of the chemical
artifexd: Reading the wikipedia article on Lamotrigine doesn't give me any reason to see it as useful for a normally functioning brain.
BingoBoingo: What have I mentioned tha tnoobs can't find reason t belong?
BingoBoingo: Haven't actually been on it since 2012 which was my lastest functional peak.
artifexd: I didn't know I was looking for a secret sauce. I'm still catching up on logs.
artifexd: Medicine/biology are far from my strong points. Even if I got the words right, I likely wouldn't understand them.
cazalla: oh i wouldn't know one way or the other, i was just a sucker for the marketing
BingoBoingo: It isn't simply that too much is dangerous. It is HOW too much is dangerous.
cazalla: i don't think my levels were too excessive, from memory they were in the hundreds, GP said it would be a concern if it were in the thousands, average being double digits or something, this is a decade ago, i've long ago become lazy and chubby as a result
BingoBoingo: benkay Not too long if you don't say the two magic assets words.
cazalla: I had a GP tell me to stop using it after bloodwork showed high levels of creatinine in bloodwork, told me to stop lifting as well, didn't go back to that doctor
artifexd: So your saying that consuming 1kg of creatine won't provide 100 times the benefit of consuming 10g? Ok. I'll buy that. But that doesn't make taking 10g ineffective.
cazalla: didn't they ban that due to kids going on creatine rages
artifexd: True. examine.com doesn't have adderall or prozac.
artifexd: TestingUnoDosTre: For any drug/supplement information, you can't get any better than examine.com. Here is modafinil's page: http://examine.com/supplements/Modafinil/
joecool: they had to manually check me in hospital as most of the auto cuffs couldn't pick me up
joecool: i've had cannabis a few times, i can't really have it though, drops my blood pressure and i either faint or sleep for over 12 hours
joecool: i don't smoke
BingoBoingo: Nah, this isn't a high score night. This is just cultivating a good hangover to think through tomorrow.
TestingUnoDosTre: if you're going for your all time high score, doesn't seem like cheating to me
mircea_popescu: i don't imagine that a)the us legislative process has much impact on us reality ; b) us reality has much impact on online reality ; c) btc has much to do with online gambling
mircea_popescu: or in the words of bogart, the fixations of some people in the us don't amount to a hill of beans in this large btc world.
mircea_popescu: well... bitcoin didn't exist in 2006. bitcoin gambling even less.
mircea_popescu: one question lingers. did you lie earlier when you claimed you can't do the article unless it's somehow related to... costa rica (?!) ? one'd have expected your interest to die there, were that factual.
mircea_popescu: people who gamble wouldn't conceivably be much deterredf by the risk that their payoff is multiplied or divided randomly.
ozbot: Scotty Doesn't Know - YouTube
mircea_popescu: alexsanjose i don't imagine the usg is any sort of actor in this discussion.

mircea_popescu: didn't seals die an ignoble death after it lost its db or something ?
BingoBoingo: alexsanjose: That number hasn't been reliable since about July
asciilifeform: you can always tell who can't do arithmetic by where walls of ornate clocks with ~3 zones hang. e.g. u.s. army briefing rooms.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Didn't he pay the Kentucky Basketball coach to be his bitch for lunch and a game?
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: This isn't even near the usual buzz I have here
mircea_popescu: either forgot or didn't care.
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves i dare not think they perhaps haven't reported on heartbleed yet, because well...
BingoBoingo: TestingUnoDosTre: That isn't how university names work
BingoBoingo: alexsanjose: Isn't world news a thing?
alexsanjose: because i can t really write the story unless i can tie it somehow to the region i cover
BingoBoingo offers a hit, it isn;t mircea_popescu
mircea_popescu: alexsanjose it's like this. the way locations normally works is that it doesn't need people, but people need it. and so people make offers to location.
BingoBoingo: alexsanjose: I severely doubt a count of server personel will happen. Hasn't happened for MPEx. Hasn't happened for S.NSA
mircea_popescu: TestingUnoDosTre don't you start too
mircea_popescu: that wasn't ever disclosed
BingoBoingo: alexsanjose: If your are a shitty journalist it isn't because journalists are shit. It is because you chose Columbia over Mizzou.

mircea_popescu: i can't recall who the ap guy was here.
mircea_popescu: benkay can't up nao ?
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla yours wasn't as good tho.
BingoBoingo: alexsanjose: Because MP, kakobrekla and MP's slavegirls don't think it is interesting is the big rejection reason
BingoBoingo: alexsanjose: They really can't. Even mircea_popescu can't affect when the world series ends.
BingoBoingo: If you don't parse it someone from it can for you.
mircea_popescu: alexsanjose that'd be part of the great power of bitcoin. you don't need accounts.
mircea_popescu: well because without bitcoin you don't exist. also because you need it to bet on bitbet.
mircea_popescu: bitcoin, which obviously isn't a currency.
mircea_popescu: alexsanjose i don't do business per se. i tend to provide critical infrastructure pieces for bitcoin finance is all.
BingoBoingo: alexsanjose: most people here don't keep close to regular hours
mircea_popescu: alexsanjose i don't keep regular hours.
BingoBoingo: thestringpuller: Why aren't you a grandpa?
TestingUnoDosTre: i don't see these people?
mircea_popescu: twasn't me.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Your general technical curiosity would lead you to find it if you hadn't had it already

BingoBoingo: And it seems by weight they can't even get that much alcohol into the stuff.
moiety: fluffypony: i didn't even go to the site
BingoBoingo: I haven't seen many gas grills that can get hot enough for steaks.
fluffypony: gas doesn't give the meat the same flavour
mircea_popescu: but i don;t make that.
BingoBoingo: I don't think I've ever worked to narrow a spread. I've tried to keep the ATC spread as wide as Hilary's ass.
mircea_popescu: fluffypony wouldn't be much, no.
