KRS1: Impressive. Almost as if you were able to see the future, perhaps by understanding how the problem will play out. I suppose your understanding of philosophy was useful here.
KRS1: I already see some of this has played out.
mircea_popescu: it's what i do / have been doing professionally. i'm a strategic advisor, and one of the best. what i do is i sit down with boards/ceo teams and guess the future for them.

KRS1: Thats very impressive to say the least. I've recently been involved in a conversation of the value of a college degree in the modern I.T. job market. I've actually been laughed at for thinking it has value in these waters. I suppose, even if I did waste my time with a degree in this field, being open minded and thinking critically are benefits that have value regardless. Such as the
KRS1: case with understanding how my continued investment into bitcoin has value in the face of scumcoins, for one.
mircea_popescu: whatever you do you'll have wasted your time at that age.
Apocalyptic: that's one of the hardest things to admit tbh
Apocalyptic: when I look back a coupla years i realize I was wasting so much time;..
Apocalyptic: maybe in a few years I will have that same comment though
truffles: what u enjoy doing shouldnt be a waste though
davout: Apocalyptic: of course, the observation you make depends as much on what you observe than it depends on from where you observe it
KRS1: I love that word 'fucktards'. Officially adding it to my vocabulary for 2014.
truffles: if u use that word though hmmm
KRS1: Perhabs a merging of fuckoffs and retards; not to regard the retarded community in any derogatory manner, but instead to give those who should know better the same sub 70 i.q. labelling.

truffles: im sure u can come up with better
KRS1: I'm not very polically correct. I might have to work on that this year too, but then again it doesn't bother me. Retards are known as mentally handicapped these days.
deego: zomg! How dare you? How would you like it someone called your son that!? Why not use "intellectually different"?

Apocalyptic: deego, "intellectually challenged" might be better
deego: Apocalyptic: heh, I think challenged and special have become pejorative as well :)
KRS1: Whats wrong with retarded?
Apocalyptic: I've heard in some case in US you can't just say blind anymore, you have to stay visually challenged now
deego: The progression ..
KRS1: Is the term "retarded" all that bad?
KRS1: What makes it insulting?
truffles: im not that concerned just saying
deego: cripple->handicapped->special needs. But, soon, the latest comes to be regarded as insulting..
KRS1: Its all in your heads.
KRS1: re·tard·ed riˈtärdid/Submit adjective 1. less advanced in mental, physical, or social development than is usual for one's age.
KRS1: Definition says nothing about it being an insult.
truffles: u were upset about being called nerd yesterday
Apocalyptic: truffles, do you think of yourself as a nerd ?
truffles: rarely do i use it as a perjorative
KRS1: I wasn't being upset about being called a nerd yesterday. I think mircea was
KRS1: I knew what you meant.
truffles: i dunno what he was upset about, i gathered he didnt get my pov
KRS1: He said what was on his mind. Your definition of nerd was incorrect. <mircea_popescu> being what you call a nerd takes some sweat.
KRS1: I think thats all it was.
truffles: i did imply that the nerd in u would "take some sweat" research
KRS1: Sun is starting to come up on the east coast of the U.S. time for some fresh air and a cigarette.
KRS1: ya idk..but i knew what you meant.
truffles: his disagreement stemmed from something else imo
mircea_popescu: deego because we'd rather shit on people than shit on words.
mircea_popescu: it makes sense if you think about it, people are but temporary. words are forever.
Apocalyptic: mircea_popescu, thought you were much younger somehow
mircea_popescu: possibly cause you were going by trilema header pics which are mostly me in my 20s ?
truffles: nothing relating to emotional states hmm

BingoBoingo: Duffer1: Not that fucked up though. How many people OD on heroin?
BingoBoingo: The problem is the drug that made things quick and cheap (Potassium Chloride) is the one they are skipping.
Duffer1: imo the problem was the death lasting 15 minutes :P
Duffer1: if a state's going to kill someone shouldn't there be a shoot him in the head backup plan for fuckups like this
pankkake: "because of the unavailability of Pentobarbital" clearly those guys haven't heard of black markets!
Duffer1: i've personally witnessed a heroin OD
BingoBoingo: pankkake: That part they replaced more than adequately with the new drugs.
BingoBoingo: They just took away for maybe 25 cents of potassium chloride which rapidly induces asystole by depolarising all of the cardiac muscle.
BingoBoingo: Exsaguination would probably be more humane though
BingoBoingo: Mild opiates + concussion + exsanguination would probably be most humane.
BingoBoingo: The problem with exsanguination though is the state doesn't like looking like it commits violence anymore.

Duffer1: ffs you're killing a guy, just destroy the brain as quickly as possible
Duffer1: that's probably the only truly humane way to do it
Duffer1: just no one wants to clean that up
BingoBoingo: School Janitors i imagine don't like cleaning up vomit, but it happens.
pankkake: I still don't understand the choice of the drugs, it seems there are better pentobarbital replacements; less "efficient" but you can work around that
pankkake: for the death penalty there is also the ridiculous trick where you don't really know if you are the killer or not
pankkake: if you can feel guilty about it, should you do it in the first place?
BingoBoingo: pankkake: Well the two drugs they chose to replace pentobarbitol are perfectly adequate for replacing pentobarbitol. The thing is they replaced pentobarbitol and forgot about the rest of the cocktail.
BingoBoingo: pentobarbitol on its own would have lead to a similarly long death by asphyxiation because lungs in reality are awfully heavy when you prioritize sedation
pankkake: but you'd die in your sleep, basically, right?
BingoBoingo: Not really, the choking would force you awake.

BingoBoingo: mike_c: It happens. It's relate to remaining action potentials in cells (action potentials being the entire reason potasium chloride and another depolatizing neuromuscular blocker were the key components inducing death in classic three drug lethal injection)
BingoBoingo: Pentobarbitol was only in the mix the the condemned's comfort.
mike_c: but action potential can't be responsible for responding to sound can it? that seems like a lot of brain function for a decapitated head

BingoBoingo: mike_c: Basically every cell that does something visible on the macro scale (neurons and muscle cells) utilizes action potentials. Responding t sound means there are a lot of surviving neurons and muscle cells in communication... At least for a while.
BingoBoingo: Making the entirety of death happen instantaneously is probably impossible without resorting to something exotic like vaporization

KRS1: Yeah, such scam..for sure. Thanks for the heads up.
KRS1: Duffer1: looks to me like much more than bandwidth..in addition to cloud services, with that comes the expense of storage, time invested in software engineering (VMware comes to mind), patching, security, provisioning, etc.
KRS1: Bandwith looks to be the metric for which the services are billed if I'm not mistaken. This looks great.
