mircea_popescu: "That line right there, if accepted into regulation, would be enough to conclusively destroy any hope of a Bitcoin monetary takeover. It effectively sets a 100% reserve requirement for Bitcoin banks, making it imposible for the supply of Bitcoin to expand in the ways that would be necessary for the cryptocurrency to displace conventional money."

decimation: well, hitler also empowered von braunn, but also was 'committed' to a retarded strategy
kakobrekla: RagnarDanneskjol kig does not need 100% uptime, so it will back when its back
decimation: but neither hitler not kennedy really knew shit about von braun or rocketry.
decimation: for instance, bush jr, 'committed' to putting a man on mars, which is obviously retarded for many reasons, not the least of which being that no one is in charge of nasa, and certainly not von braun

mircea_popescu: decimation in no sense "saying some words" is what anyone did.
mircea_popescu: so anyway, the ddos of qntra is dead. here are the captions : 12`754`766 requests from 5397 unique wordpress installations.
mircea_popescu: but my point is, this comes to ~100 hits an hour from each of these idiots. just slightly under, which means the 100 was the prospective rate set by the attacker,
mircea_popescu: now, at a conservative 50kb per page, each of these installations comes to ~11kbps sustained over a day.
mircea_popescu: WordPress: Now Powering 50 Million Blogs - The Next Web
decimation: asciilifeform: if all these boxes are exploited with the same malwarez, does that mean that the malwarez exploit the same unpatched holes?

cazalla: they don't get it, i'm not claiming they ran the ponzi but assisted it and like andreas, they don't accept their foolish behaviour so it will happen again

BingoBoingo: With the caveat that you only advertise for Satan under his own brand.
BingoBoingo: Using the ponzi label when advertising a Ponzi anytime after the historical ponzi's bust... fine. Advertizing ponzi under any other brand like Pirateat40, not fine.

Maryjane: It's wintering season atm though
decimation: apiculture is an ancient and honorable profession
decimation: what do you make of the panic with respect to the africanized bees coming from the south?
decimation: seems to me that the main danger is letting neglected properties become fully infested
Maryjane: Italians and carni's are what we raise here usually, but bees even African iced are highly adapted creatures. The African iced ones are forced into a place they don't thrive. It's like how the Russian bees don't do well here either
decimation: I suspect the best 'solution' is to interbreed the africanized bees with other species and select against aggressive broods.
xanthyos: and make the perfect broodwich
Maryjane: Yes. They could. But that could go either good or bad
Maryjane: Because any breed can Africanize even italians or carnolians
xanthyos: sicilians are africanized italians
decimation: interesting. apparently the bees are are aware of the 'one drop' rule
Maryjane: They have since before our years
Maryjane: I've worked with aggressive carnolians
Maryjane: They made a new queen and she calmed the whole colony
decimation: apparently carniolan bees are from romania
Maryjane: Carnolians are great they originated in like the southern Austrian alps and Danube valley
Maryjane: We treat with powdered sugar to help that issue
decimation: do the russian bees seem more resistant to the mites? It appears the gov't thinks that's the case.
Maryjane: Their immune system is stronger against varroa than carnolians
Maryjane: They aren't too bothered by varroa
decimation: the russian sage in front of my home was filled with bees this summer, they are gone now
Maryjane: We had epic basswood honey this yr
decimation: have you seen colony collapse disorder?
Maryjane: The queen starts laying drones
xanthyos: do you think it's related at all to cell phone tower radiation?
decimation: eh, I think that theory is crazy. much more likely is widespread pesticide us
decimation: cell phone radiation just doesn't affect things that much
Maryjane: Any man made pesticide will weaken their immune system but plant based is ok
Maryjane: Bees actually use plants as pesticides
assbot: Pesticides, Not Mites, Cause Honeybee Colony Collapse - D-brief | DiscoverMagazine.com
cazalla: i wanted to get into bees this spring but council regs won't permit it :\
mircea_popescu: <decimation> apparently carniolan bees are from romania ?<< yeah.
Maryjane: 7000 lbs this yr but I worked commercially
Maryjane: We lost some due to wax moth damage
decimation: Maryjane: do you move your hives long distances to pollinate?
cazalla: mircea_popescu, you need to register for a licence, another keep has to come check out your hive, hive cannot be within x distance of other homes plus others
Maryjane: I personally just want my hives here
Maryjane: My boss has bees in ga and California and vermont
decimation: cazalla: the People continue to wage war on anything unusual
mircea_popescu: back in romania, pretty much any old guy that's not a fucktard keeps bees
cazalla: i could host the hive elsewhere but defeats the added benefit of having the bees in the backyard to help pollinate veg and fruit trees
decimation: Maryjane: in California for the almonds?
Maryjane: Almond Honey tastes like leather shoes
decimation: yeah but almonds are delicious, I'm glad for the bees.
Maryjane: Almond expenses go to ppl like me too
Maryjane: Bees are extremely expensive both money and time wise
decimation: mircea_popescu: I suspect that any farmer who actually plans on living on his own harvest is much the same
decimation: the bees are worth their wage when they pollinate more efficiently than the alternatives
Maryjane: Most hobbyists I know here cannot keep up with keeping the bees tho
xanthyos: that would be a fun job; transporting colonies
Maryjane: Especially down the Champlain valley
xanthyos: and watching them interact with a stranger colony
decimation: Maryjane: what are the main expenses? seems to me you just need to harvest the honey every once in awhile
Maryjane: U have to move brood and honey for expansion, clean out drone caps, treat and feed.
Maryjane: Which u can save that colony from moving brood frames.
decimation: yeah I can see how this would pose some difficulties keeping track of what is going on
decimation: well I'm going to retire for the evening, thanks for the interesting conversation
