;;later tell mike_c here's an idea : 1) if the bomb total pool goes over 1 btc, the first five digits past the decimal are used as a bomb location; and 2) if the bomb pool is over 5% of the total shares pool, the bomb is guaranteed to be big.

meth?

01:53

BingoBoingo: isn't meth supposed to be 'performance enhancing' dope ?

01:53

nope

01:53

but kamikazes.

01:53

asciilifeform: The dose makes the poison.

01:53

that's amphetamine not metamphetamine

01:53

like you know, a joke's funny but a meta joke's just lame ? same thing.

01:53

afaik all the extra methyl gives is fat-solubility

01:53

so it selects for landwhales is what you're telling me ?

01:54

methamphetamine has a greater propensity to promote psychosis at lower doses

01:54

fat-solubility >> better penetration of brain-blood barrier

01:54

+ longer metabolic half-life

01:54

whatever theoretical chemistry may propose... meth ain't enhancing any performances.

01:55

unless one's performing as a meth head, i guess.

Well, with methamphetamine levo-dexo rotary becomes a concern as well. l-methamphetamine is a rather safe decongestant. D-methamphetamine though... is the one that makes the news

01:57

BingoBoingo: from the u.s. army medical journals, a hypothesis - it's actually the sleep deprivation that does you in

01:58

asciilifeform: It's one of the more interesting ones

01:58

(many of the maladies suffered by meth addicts - not only psychosis, but physiological - are also found in people who, for one reason or another - such as being under fire - cannot sleep)

02:01

Interesting testament to different effects of the rotary property check the active ingredient http://www.vicks.com/products/vapo-family/vapoinhaler-nasal-congestion-relief/#

02:01

re: 'performance enhancing' dopes - important to remember that, even supposing performance enhanced, it matters who you were. e.g. paul erdos will crap out theorems, a hooligan will be able to break that many more windows, a lunatic will rant longer and more vigorously, etc.

↖

02:01

asciilifeform i go for days without sleeping, often enough for not more than not feeling like it. this entire "sleep deprivation is bad for you" thing is bogus imo.

days - who doesn't do this. try month.

asciilifeform: That is actually a greater challenge than it sounds like.

02:04

sure.

02:04

Easier to start from scratch

02:04

define 'scratch'

02:05

Precursors that lead to a largely dex- final product

02:05

in the americas, those are largely unavailable to 'humans' - mafia, different story, buys by the drum

02:05

(ephedrine, pseudoephedrine tend to do this)

02:06

other precursors tend to produce racemic product

02:06

if i recall these were banned ?

02:07

It's a pain in the ass to get them, but still available over the counter

02:08

where i live, one can buy pseudoephedrine against running nose, but only in miniscule amounts and after signing a declaration of non-terrorism, with your driver's license entered in db

BingoBoingo: clearly these folks had no problems sourcing precursors.

02:12

asciilifeform: Costs too much for junkies to make their own, so it gets shipped from god knows where in the most efficient means possible

02:12

BingoBoingo: in ussr, meth was 'invented' in the mid '80s. but all the aficionados made their own, without exception. there was no 'market' in the usual sense.

02:13

BingoBoingo: they would forge prescriptions for ephedrine (used in that period to treat asthmatics) and go from that.

02:13

They used to make their own here, but now for all I know Johnson and Johnson produces it.

02:14

the necessary reagents were readily available, because amateur chemistry was not illegal in ussr.

02:14

and people actually went to school, and occasionally learned things.

02:15

somewhere it is produced. i recently visited a shop that sold surplus safes, of various sizes. some were from pharmacies, and had storage manifests glued on. included meth.

wow nubbins`. i kinda given up on cracked for this exact reason, i just had no idea how to express it before.

11:45

wait....

11:45

is cracked one of those sites like the onion

11:45

it's basically an entire website dedicated to the type of shit in /r/mildlyinteresting

11:45

pretend i don't get out on the internet much

11:46

but with more lists

11:46

it's not complete satire, though

11:46

cracked is mostly kids who figure they're not realy waitresses, but really writers, giving it a crack.

11:46

except it's mostly boys.

11:46

riiiight but it's mildly factual

11:46

or is it a complete farce

11:46

goes about as well as you'd expect the National Waiters' Poetry Club to go.

11:46

is my question

11:46

generally the lists have arbitrary numbers of items in them, because the "people" who "write" them don't have any real information to convey

11:47

nubbins` a crackwitter! all lists 14 items.

11:47

sometimes i can't tell anymore between a farce site and a real site

if you have something you want published, either work with someone who already has a blog, and do a guest

12:23

or make your own blog.

12:24

pretty sure by now pankkake's rss reader has more readership than the bitcoin magazine anyway.

12:24

yeah, I got they feeling Bitcoin magazine is like all those podcasts out there; they want the listeners to give them free content for them to advertize over

12:25

well yes.

12:25

I was talking to the guy about how none of the popular Bitcoin news sources focus on real security

12:25

he was one of those "wow 2.0 !! decentralize everything" types

12:26

i wonder how many great new altcoins were thought up at porcupine

danielpbarron wouldn't know as he avoided most of the actual events

12:27

I ran into someone who was already familiar with my MEAT asset on counterparty; that was pretty funny

12:28

what was that ?

12:28

it's an asset backed by the in-game currency of http://kingdomofloathing.com/

12:28

The Kingdom of Loathing

12:29

the only asset on counterparty with a realistic market cap

12:29

unless you think the let's talk Bitcoin network is actually worth 250 BTC

12:31

heh.

12:32

isk and rift plat are backed by bitcoinz, so why not this other thing.

12:32

are you involved with it ?

12:33

with what? isk/rift? i don't know what those are

12:33

no with this thing

12:33

A Very Special Message from Jick:

12:33

As the number of KoL players increases, so does the cost of hosting. I very much want to keep the game free, so please consider supporting the development and maintenance of the Kingdom

12:33

oh, I used to play it years ago

12:33

ah ic

12:34

12:34

The Store of Loathing

12:35

it's a pretty annoying community that plays; the only reason I played for as long as I did was because the economy was pretty fun

12:35

ow shit look at this, they're pretty developped actually huh. danielpbarron do you know any of the guys ? like this jick ?

12:35

nope

12:38

teh splendor of this chan omg, ask and thou shalt receive. got the guy's email, all happy now.

12:39

I don't like Jick but he's obviously very good at what he does; that game is over 11 years old now and he makes a living off of it

14:19

i suspect the tube would be cheaper to ship and more impervious to damage, but on the down-side your posters get rolled

what are they made of ?

it's what we receive paper in

if you guys set channel mode +z ops like assbot will be able to see messages from devoiced users; the !up command could work without a private message

14:23

looks like a roll would be about $30 postage, flat box would be $60+

14:23

which sounds way too high, but who knows

so you'd be looking at a total of $70 or ~$100 for roll/box

14:53

asciilifeform: Other than marking territory and verbally accosting coyotes I encounter? Hmmm....

14:53

asciilifeform: Probably the best defense is a larger dog or a gram or so of lead

14:54

BingoBoingo: difficult to hunt in the city without everyone knowing.

14:54

BingoBoingo: If only the automated lead disbursal was an easier to solve problem. :-)

14:55

asciilifeform: Well, at least for coyote sized targets. Otherwise there are some primer motivated only rimfire loads that are rather quiet

14:55

BingoBoingo: i suppose for the genuine aficionado, there's always the 'cranequin'.

14:57

I mean it's hard to set traps for coyote that also won't be appealing to every other animal around, so you'd prelly have to go for a live trap.

14:58

That would be a rather large cage trap (the only kind really permitted in human habited areas.

BingoBoingo, benkay: 'linux rifle' << when i first heard of this gadget, first though was 'why is it fired by electromechanically-controlled trigger weight and not simply electrical'. turns out, electrical firing is banned in usa.

15:07

Indeed it is

15:07

BingoBoingo: any idea why ?

15:08

asciilifeform: Probably because it makes full automatic firing possible

15:09

BingoBoingo: on a bolt-action elephant rifle ?

15:09

Why make a device with electric ignition bolt action?

15:09

BingoBoingo: accuracy. as pictured in the linked review.

15:10

though the whole thing strikes me as quite like fishing with dynamite - where does the sport remain in the hunt ?

15:10

i also think robots aren't allowed to pull triggers on their own.

15:10

Oh, the engineers already had the sport with that one

15:12

I always imagined electic ignition firearms were for stuff like that caseless ammunition asssault rifle idea the Germans played with in the 80's

It really is.

I wonder what a few more generations of feral culture will do to the wild dogs in Detroit.

18:19

mircea_popescu: hey, I didn't say it was much of a clue.

18:19

I

18:20

what you need is access to the inbox of a few hundred of the hotter women,

18:20

O

18:20

oops

18:20

mircea_popescu: hahaha

18:20

take all the messages guys sent them over a decade

18:20

make a beautiful soup of that

18:20

then send it to your prospects, see who answers

18:20

select the rest.

18:20

mircea_popescu: so basically, "u wan sum fuk?" xD

18:20

mircea_popescu missed an 'invert' operator in there

18:21

asciilifeform noididn't.avi Azelphur it's actually quite patternable.

18:21

it's a good read, i recommend it.

18:21

the women probably have a bayesian spamzapper. you want to slip past, not end up inside.

18:21

I see

18:21

asciilifeform identitty is cheap.

18:22

i wonder how many twentysomething owners of moderately successful sm sites have so far selected the interractions of all the people that got laid on the site and hashtree'd it.

18:22

sorta like a "talking to womenz prosthetic"

18:23

haha

18:23

after all, the space of language is actually finite, and besides, what are people who don't know each other gonna talk about.

18:23

5, maybe 10 things.

18:23

mircea_popescu: ever read oktrends? You'd like it I reckon.

18:23

nop

18:23

they perform various statistical analysis on their entire db

18:23

and draw all sorts of hilariously insulting conclusions

18:23

such as religious people have lower literacy levels

18:23

"The official blog of OkCupid.com. Shows trends and insights into it's online dating network."

18:23

mircea_popescu: it's still no thermonuke. eventually you have to dance in the flesh.

18:24

o look, the official ca'nt sp'eal.

18:24

hehe

18:24

am i do'ing it ri'ght ?

18:24

needs more apostrophe.

18:24

asciilifeform that's what rohypnol is for.

18:24

mircea_popescu: robert sheckley had a story ('50s) about a 'dating agency' that would tell you exactly what to do, through a hidden earphone. fellow puts it on, and gets really bored, because it turns out they also sell to the gurlz

18:25

asciilifeform was it "The Cyrano de Bergerac Memorial Dating Agency" ?

18:25

lol

18:26

anyway, that's what the fuck us media does, anyway. buncha retarded kids who can't touch each other growing up, sitting around reading cracked and jezbel to figure out what to say to each other

18:28

"The basic currency of the Internet is human ignorance, and, frankly, our database holds a strong cash position!"

18:28

o ok Azelphur , i like them nao.

18:28

mircea_popescu: hahaha, I knew you would :P

18:29

"Okay, if you want to know... Will my date have sex on the first date? Ask... » Do you like the taste of beer? Because... Among all our casual topics, whether someone likes the taste of beer is the single best predictor of if he or she has sex on the first date."

18:29

ok i fucking don't like them anymore.

18:29

to imagine the genders are idempotent in this line... holy shit.

18:29

mircea_popescu: why not? I thought that question was particularly hilarious

18:30

mircea_popescu: 'the average number of legs a customer has is...'

18:30

mircea_popescu: they don't imagine, they have the data to back up that it's fairly equal?

18:30

if you think a buncha fratbros being in denial about how shitty budlight is makes a good predictor for whether maryjane in sorority rush is likely to fuck you right now...

18:31

dude srsly. what data do they have showing it's equal, fairly or otherwise ?

18:31

mircea_popescu: because they ask users 1) Would you consider sleeping with someone on a first date, 2) What sex are you, 3) Do you like the taste of beer?

18:31

"Sadly, this is the only question with a meaningful correlation for women. For men there are a few others" << now i like them again.

18:31

given the answer to all 3, you have an answer xD

18:31

haha

18:32

dude i'm having an on again / off again relationship with okcupid and it's official bl'og.

18:32

18:32

Azelphur you ever seen control ?

18:33

nope

18:33

it's a pretty decent film, bio of ian curtis.

18:33

i imagine you'd like it.

18:34

Q: Could you imagine yourself killing someone? << fuck me! this actually is to my knowledge the best predictor there is.

18:34

seems they not only figured this out, but also have a slightly better one. nuclear attack in certain light ?

18:34

impressive.

ThickAsThieves why not ?

18:46

takes women 20yrs to learn to orgasm?

18:47

well buddhism is about removing desire, and, well, everything, no?

18:47

no ?

18:47

i think that's boreism.

18:47

hehe

18:47

and i think women just about need 20 years to learn to orgasm, yes.

18:47

course you can cut that to six weeks iykwyd.

18:48

18:49

i don't know that many women that don't like sucking cock.

18:50

certainly more guys who (at least pretend) not to.

where is the "Odds Someone Enjoys Getting Oral Sex?"

Frequent tweeters have shorter real-life relationships than everyone else, probably via some bit.ly hack. Unfortunately, we have no way to tell who's dumping who here; whether the twitterati are more annoying or just more flighty than everyone else.

i have an idea, just deliver add medicine with the whale.

18:53

and holy shit year and a half average relationships ?! what the fuck sense does that make, it's the uncanny valley of relationships. either a few good fucks for a coupla weeks or else years, who does this middle of the road bs ?

18:54

dudes who don't wanna deal with the 5 minutes of awkwardness it takes to break up with someone they're not really interested in

it's a thing, srsly

19:00

Guys get erections every morning, right? The concept of "morning" varies depending on where you live, with the "morning line" basically spinning around the earth infinitely, right? So does that mean that humanity has been doing a "boner wave" around the earth for hundreds of thousands of years? : Showerthoughts

19:01

im bashing that nubbins line

19:01

er which?

19:01

i have so many quotable quips that it's hard to keep track

19:02

nubbins`: no way man that's rent-seeking.

19:02

pretty cool eagles.

19:02

nubbins` the range o' feelings.

19:02

ah ah

19:02

srsly tho. war on unauthorized mental states

19:03

imagine such a thing

19:03

oh man. bash is improving. there is some funny shit in there.

19:03

flip it

19:03

it's not a 'war' on anything.

19:03

mike_c ikr!

19:03

it's an outlawing of things to make work for the rent-seekers.

19:03

this employs head-knockers and jail-lockers.

19:03

benkay no, it's not a war. the way i see it, to keep a police force going you gotta give it some niggers to pick on.

19:03

otherwise, it becomes too expensive.

19:03

those exist anyways, man.

19:04

i generally am disappointed when ninjashogun gets upped, but he is a gold mine.

19:04

and since the actual niggers are rioting... they moived to fags. those also rioted in the 50s

19:04

mike_c +1

19:04

so now it's pedos and bongheads

19:04

potheads don't riot

19:04

a reasonably sized constabulary could be had if its mandate were reasonable.

19:04

exactly. perfect fodder.

19:04

then again, that's what they said about fags, too. look into stonewall inn.

19:04

benkay: sounds like here

19:04

it's a massive constabulary though, and needs a massive mandate to keep it fat and busy.

19:04

mircea_popescu, v familiar

19:04

nobody riots until they do

19:04

benkay no, it could not. because you oculdn't motivate anyone to join it.

19:05

just like you can't have a sane corpus of teachers.

19:05

teaching and police work are for the daft or the dangerous

19:05

exactly.

19:05

if you can give them someone to shitface, then you can get the dangerous to be useful.

19:05

it all rests on this major question.

19:06

but must we have so many constables?

19:06

not initially

19:06

but once the ranks swell

19:06

it's harder to squeeze the dead air back out

19:07

benkay i kinda like being able to ask for directions.

19:07

what, you don't talk to regular humans for things like that?

19:07

also, idiots tend to think nothing they can't see exists. best way to keep compton in line is keeping cars on patrol.

19:07

they see a cop, the underdevelop part of their brain that regulates behaviour gets a jolt.

19:07

lol o compton's in line?

19:08

best way to keep this grease fire under control is to only let a little bit of oxygen at it

19:08

benkay sure. they got a gdp and everything.

19:08

so does mexico.

19:08

so does the usg, for that matter.

yeah

19:10

what was the film with that retard cop

19:10

haha i laughed at that one too

19:10

ends up involved with some cokehead, sister of tom cruise who's a total dudebro

19:10

BUT MOSTLY I'M A BITCOINER

19:10

a yes, magnolia. ever seen magnolia benkay ?

19:11

wait, she wasn't tom cruise's sister

19:11

in that movie

19:11

yah i got confused.

19:12

re: the retard cop (john c reilly), he's done some really bizarre comedy

19:12

like, really fucked

19:12

anyway. retarded cop, gets out of car, has interraction with rapper 12 yo black kid

19:12

that's the thing.

19:12

yeah

19:12

same kid that eventually finds his gun?

19:12

yeah.

19:12

nod

19:12

i was actually impressed by how much of a douchebag tom cruise's character was in that movie

19:13

anyway, i confess when i hear someone's a rapper, that kid is what i think about.

19:13

hahah

19:13

much like when i hear smeone's an entrepreneur, what i think about are the poor egyptian kids in luxor.

19:13

well it's a shitty movie, but i guess it makes this particular sidepoint well.

19:16

no but srsly the foxnews conservative gentleman is going to burning man

19:16

it must be over

19:16

what, 160k this year?

19:16

benkay it was over in 2007/2008

19:17

what, that recently?

19:17

pre-that, 80%+ of the chicks i knew states-side went

19:17

that year... like 1/3

19:17

maybe i'm biased cause age.

19:17

it's always over this year.

19:17

it's got it's own eternal september thing

19:18

now that may also be.

19:18

maybe your father in law is considering it's unfair you shoulda got the vixen, and wants to get a replacement.

19:19

yeah, sr. lady v's marbles are a bit scattered

19:19

"honey, i love you very much, but i just can't live without twentysomething yo cunt in the house"

more reasonable assumption is a bevy of local sluts.

did this have anything to do with giving away money for forwarding omething ?

and what are the buildings in vegas if not playgrounds too?

21:33

WoL doesn't have any magicians

21:34

why not? that would make it more fun!

21:34

it's true. i'll put it on the list

21:40

<peterl> you are saying there is nothing you could do with more money? // riddle me this - what does bitbet do with the money?

21:41

I dunno exactly? Seed bets, buy advertising, maintain servers?

21:45

i wonder what kind of load bitbet supports.

21:45

hey kakobrekla can you clue us into the traffic bitbet's pushing?

21:46

bitbet does nothing with the money. it's a zac

Number of stray cats on the rise in Laurel and Prince George's County - baltimoresun.com

21:49

so then we come back to my question - why would an an0 company list publically?

21:49

liquidity for the owners is a big reason

21:49

"According to Volack, most of the stray and wild cats in the city are usually spotted in backyards, and she sometimes gets resistance when she tries to trap the cats. "I've been trying my hardest to capture the strays and feral cats and kittens, but I have just as many people who don't want me to trap them as those who do.""

21:49

and you mean zac

21:49

right, yes i do

21:49

an0 = asset non-zero

21:51

so there's the answer i'm looking for - liquidity for the owners.

21:51

that is one answer. another might have to do with mp's desire to build an ecosystem. but i'll leave that answer to him.

21:52

<benkay> is it a generous donation to the ecosystem? "here i made this thing and by my grace you can partake of its profits"?

21:53

hey i'm learning

21:53

slowly, but...

21:53

you are making me answer for him, which i am not qualified to do. but I would guess two things. 1) yes 2) mayhaps some people benefit from advancing the ecosystem.

21:54

the old "adoption" thing.

21:54

apologies, i didnt mean to imply that i was re-asking the question, more that i'd already guessed that was a reason.

21:55

benkay: so there's the answer i'm looking for - liquidity for the owners. << as I said, they want their hookers and blow now

21:56

I think there's a pent-up demand for bitcoin income

21:56

why does bitcoin price go up? "adoption" seems a poor answer to me. to me it is because the value of the whole system actually increases. perhaps part of that value increase is due to having a more vibrant financial ecosystem.

21:56

seems to me that if you think you can grow your company with more investment, you find investors to grow it

22:00

yw. who are you ?

<mircea_popescu> <benkay> but if i make a profitable thing, why list it on mpex? << nobody's holding a gun to your head no ? // clearly. but why did bitbet list?

22:21

why the existential q's anyway ?

22:21

it's like "why get married", "why make friends", "why eat a steak" or w/e.

22:22

what, listing on mpex tastes good?

22:22

it does, no q, but is that the sole roi?

22:22

mostly 'cause i'm a derpy young thing trying to not. lose. money.

22:22

existential questions are fundamentally broken because things that exist exist in an infinity of ways, whereas things that are represented are represented in a finite manner.

22:23

the existential question either exploits or bumbles into this fundamental problem. it can never have an actual answer,

22:23

much like you can't be delivered the notion of pear or the sadness of joseph.

22:24

well, you'll note the particular questions sprinkled in there.

22:25

i thought those were answered.

22:25

like - why did bitbet?

22:26

but in general : a listed company has some advantages, and some disadvantages. let's look into it.

22:26

mthreat

one reason to take investment, even if you could fund it out of your own pocket, is to offset risk from yourself to investors.

22:26

Capital : a listed company has more capital, and more ready access to capital.

22:26

Networking : for one thing, your investors are your best pr.

22:27

Scoring : you get to know how good you're doing, as a manger.

22:27

these also work together, like n+s : more people are paying attention, so it works like open source for your accounting, for instance.

22:27

it also has some disadvantages, such as a loss of control, or association with another party or whatever.

22:28

supposedly mpex manages to mitigate the drawbacks while supercharging the advnatages,

22:28

but this is really like the discussion of whether bitcoin or network difficulty are too high or too low or w/e.

22:29

a more practical approach is to look at "why do people get into the wot ?" and go from there. why do people finish highschool ? why do people go on to college ? should everyone with a hs diploma strive to go to college ? etc.

22:30

mp also has a theory that listing prevents competition because they can just invest in you instead of building a copy.

22:31

very educational. thank you all.

22:32

this is in fact correct. if someone wants exposure to x market, with a company in x market listed his options are "invest or roll your own"

22:32

but without, his options are "roll your own". which is in fact often inefficient.

22:32

so yes, it IS a gift to the community. just, not in the sense you'd think. it's the sort of gift you're not at a loss for giving, like sharing music.

22:33

one'd only roll their own if the existing solution were such crap that it could easily be beat in the market.

22:33

or if they need it.

22:34

you know ? if you want to make whatsapp and there's no phone carrier, now what ?

22:34

it seems to me that there's a pent-up demand for income for those who are holders of bitcoin

22:35

decimation experience shows that approach is not only theoretically naive, but also actually leads to failure.

22:37

this okcupid stuff is a goldmine. "Another inquiry that had unexpected results: we asked 252,900 straight people have you ever had a sexual encounter with someone of the same sex?". men : 7% did and enjoyed it ; 6% did and didn't enjoy it ; 5% didn't but would like to try. women : 26% did and enjoy it ; 7% didn't enjoy it ; 18% would like to try it.

22:38

no mention of age, but I am ready to take a bet that your average highschool today is half-bi, half bi-curious gals.

22:53

^ tldr: massive catalogue of usg... spam tools.

22:54

ultimately the usg depends on "likes" in the polling booth, right?

22:54

the 'ddos mpex' script is probably in there.

22:55

'nevis... is a tool developed by NTAC to search disk images for possible Encryption products. CMA have further developed this tool to look for signs of Steganography'

this reminds me of a story

22:59

is it good ?

23:00

I wonder why usg & hmg bother to pay "spies" to ... secretly watch ebay auctions

23:00

one of my first job interviews out of uni. telephone. a fellow from one of the giant gov. contractors was really intrigued that i know x86 asm., have reversed crud for money. i ask him 'what's the job'. he: automated reversing. me: of what. he: ever hear of karatsuba's algo? me: sure. bignum mult. him: well, we wanna find encryption softs on terrorist drives!

↖ ↖

23:00

me: why would terrorist run ms-win. he: they will always, trust me.

↖ ↖

23:02

so now we see that these (likely same, but usg never commissions just one turd of a particular variety) idiots did indeed crap out something like a $1B version of 'ida hexray.'

23:04

this is the most riotously funny nsa turd yet.
