mircea_popescu obviously ? [01:37]
mircea_popescu the two are unrelated tho. they had some shit about to expire. of coruse it gets sent out. [01:38]
mircea_popescu what else, sit on it ? [01:38]
BingoBoingo Well, Zostavax is notorious for being used infrequently to never. [01:39]
* assbot removes voice from GNULinuxGuy [01:39]
mircea_popescu i suppose the error is the bizarre notion that headquarters is in the business of doing the shop's job, only they have better tools ? [01:39]
mircea_popescu that's not how business works. the shop is in the business of solving hq's problems. all of them. [01:39]
mircea_popescu that's why the shop exists. if it doesn't do that, it can dangle. [01:40]
BingoBoingo Right, and HQ does the shop's job poorly [01:40]
mircea_popescu zostavax is notorious for being the main source of shingles in the us, but that's another story. [01:40]
BingoBoingo Sure. [01:40]
BingoBoingo Prevents/causes shingles [01:40]
mircea_popescu anyway, the reason they pushed for lowering inventory is probably exactly the fact that they keep ending up with shit that doesn'tsell because it expires. [01:40]
mircea_popescu if anything that delivery is the explanation of why the fuck the call was even necessary. [01:41]
BingoBoingo Right. Example of inept "failed to success" HQ crowd [01:42]
BingoBoingo Like Obola [01:42]
danielpbarron ;;later tell grubles any comment on this? http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=23-12-2014#959288 [01:42]
gribble The operation succeeded. [01:42]
assbot Logged on 23-12-2014 19:47:34; mircea_popescu: re the entire grubles/bitvps thing : the listing was discussed for a while, in a public channel. grubles was there, and not only represented himself in agreement, but represented rg as the owner of the thing. [01:42]
mircea_popescu speaking of horrible us pharma crapola that's ended up giving vaccines a bad name in the us, and the people who (properly!) refuse vaccination now get to be depicted as redneck savages because o noes, vaccines are great (they would be, and they were before us companies got involved) : [01:42]
mircea_popescu i am deeply amused at how everything's "an allergic reaction" now. [01:42]
mircea_popescu perhaps because it sounds so like allogenic. [01:42]
* assbot gives voice to RagnarDanneskjol [01:42]
BingoBoingo Why lawyer with a law degree when you can "community organize" for better hours and pay [01:42]
mircea_popescu anyway, "got shingles from the merck vaccine ? O ITS JUS TAN ALLERGIC REACTION WILL GO AWAY" [01:43]
mircea_popescu guess what fuckers... so would shingles. [01:43]
BingoBoingo Well, live virus vaccine and Elderly patients are circles you don't want touching on a Venn Diagram anyways. [01:44]
mircea_popescu but you gotta sell crap for 200 bux a pop or w/e it is [01:44]
BingoBoingo Yeah [01:45]
mircea_popescu and i fat least all this embezzled money went into research, you know ? all the idiots that gave themselves zona zooster because "medicine" and "Science" could at least serve humanity. [01:45]
mircea_popescu but, just like in the case of shittywood and so on, the actual creatives get 1.5% and tjhey gotta be in a union for that even. [01:45]
assbot [HAVELOCK] [AMHASH1] 2500 @ 0.00089285 = 2.2321 BTC [-] {14} [01:45]
BingoBoingo Well, it is one of those cases where what works for polio does not work for the more beneign herpes zoster. [01:48]
mircea_popescu this is perhaps the best example of bs. first off, idiot us derps are more affraid of pain than anytihng. so let's create this fantastic disease which CAN HURT REALLY BAD [01:49]
mircea_popescu which it can, theoretically, in extremely rare cases. [01:49]
mircea_popescu and then let's sell a vaccine for it. which is a shitload more expensive than a useful one, like the polio one. [01:49]
mircea_popescu vaccine doesn't work, but that's ok, because the thing it "protects " against doesn't really happen. [01:50]
BingoBoingo I mean shingles is the perfect disease that hurts bad without threatening life. [01:50]
mircea_popescu if that's not the 3rd millenium united states i have no idea what is. [01:50]

mircea_popescu check out idiotpedia : "An allogenic succession can be brought about in a number of ways which can include: Volcanic eruptions Meteor or comet strike Flooding Drought Earthquakes Non-anthropogenic climate change" [02:01]
mircea_popescu totally. except the only climate change documented to date is caused BY FUCKING BACTERIA [02:01]
mircea_popescu not by humans. and it doesn't properly fit allogenic succession definition, but because, like the putative anthropogenic climate change that allegedly is being prevented by that dumb teenager in the snow up in the log, is caused by fucking living things. [02:02]
mircea_popescu then people want to know why retardopedia is not a source of information. this is why. because in the mouths of the stupid, even good sense loses itself. [02:02]
mircea_popescu there's no intrinsic quality that makes a text string "science". it's the signature on it. a repository of anon derpage can be an encyclopedia like a pile of ascari lumbricoides can be my wife. [02:03]

* BingoBoingo suspects dead virus "chicken pox" vaccine isn't possible without triggering serious autoimmune issues. Herpes is in our DNA. [02:09]
mircea_popescu more like it's one of those viruses for which the capsid plays so many functions, it's not really anything without it [02:12]

BingoBoingo Sample preview sentence: While most civilized states merely require proof of onward travel in a form as simple as a plane ticket to a destination outside of their borders, United States consulates in making determinations however evaluate applicants "holistically" with an emphasis not on forward travel for potential visitors, but on return specifically to their country of residence. [04:53]
BingoBoingo It's mostly just a mind fuck documenting the behavior of a gravity well from a non-astronomical perspective. [04:59]
mircea_popescu BingoBoingo i forget, what was the bitcoin bowl thing cost ? [04:59]
BingoBoingo $500k for sponsorhips rights alone. The rest of the marketing all came with other costs. [05:00]
BingoBoingo Actual owner of the game is "ESPN Events" [05:00]
BingoBoingo So actual mindfuck. Many of the treaties offering USians Visa free travel... demand the US reciprocate... [05:04]
mircea_popescu aha. [05:05]
BingoBoingo If not always in the treaty text, often in the national laws of counterparty states reciprocity is mandated. [05:06]

mircea_popescu i don't follow ? [06:06]
davout or alternatively any current block hash [06:06]
mircea_popescu so every orphan chain is "main net" ? [06:06]

davout there's also the work part [06:06]
mircea_popescu cazalla nobody cared. [06:06]

mircea_popescu davout there exists something like that already, "gavin's orphan chain won't die before 50 block long" [06:08]

davout i think it missed the timeframe bit amirite [06:08]
mircea_popescu an orphan can be any arbitrary length. [06:08]

mircea_popescu it doesn't plead in favour for your intelligence, but it is certainly noble. [06:37]

fluffypony well at least it makes for a change from "omg gaw are skammirz, we had no idae" [06:41]
mircea_popescu anyway, i very much doubt nullc actually has any idea as to what's going on, apart from being in the room when it was explained and now typing words on reddit. and i doubt wuille actually did anything deliberately nefarious there. [06:43]

mircea_popescu this is perennially the case with free republics. [18:50]
mircea_popescu why shouldn't you be able to go anywhere. [18:50]
decimation well, the ostenisble reason is 'security', but the actual reason is that it is one more 'perk' that can be given as a favor by someone who appears to have power [18:51]
thestringpuller real shit [18:51]
mircea_popescu yeah, perianne boring is a product of a process, rather than a person. [18:59]
mircea_popescu obviously that process only works in a narrow conventional field, to the degree it might as well be a literary device. but literary characters are not necessarily aware of their conventional nature. [19:00]
mircea_popescu something like "tom sawyer pinched himself and saw that he was flesh and blood like any man". [19:00]

mircea_popescu davout anyway, epic fucking police state you got there. so, some people driving through the armpit of paris run into three police patrols. because wtf, 30% of all paris works as cops or something ? [19:16]
mircea_popescu NONE of which manage to do anything but get shot. why even call them police then ? what are they for, hussling people, right ? [19:16]
mircea_popescu they don't stop crime, they just bother the 0.x% remaining parisians who actually have a job that's not enacted by hollande's fiat [19:17]

mircea_popescu lemme dig up what i read. la liberte mebbe [19:21]
mircea_popescu sec [19:21]
davout police is annoying yes, they did save my ass once tho [19:21]
mircea_popescu En quittant les locaux, les assaillants tombent sur un véhicule de police en ressortant dans la rue. Ils ouvrent à nouveau le feu avant de remonter à bord de leur Citroën. Une course-poursuite s'engage. Ils empruntent l’allée verte, une rue perpendiculaire à celle du siège de Charlie Hebdo. Croisent une autre patrouille de policiers, en VTT. Nouveaux tirs, sans victime. Arrivé sur le boulevard Richard-Lenoir, [19:22]
mircea_popescu nouvelle fusillade: un policier, âgé d’une trentaine d’années et rattaché au commissariat du XIe arrondissement, est touché puis froidement abattu au sol. [19:22]
mircea_popescu so. ran into a random patrol. shot at them. moved on, ran into another. shot at them too. ran into random cop. shot him too. [19:22]
davout well, the third one isn't that close [19:22]
davout but yeah, there are quite a few cops in paris [19:23]
mircea_popescu but that's exactly my problem here. there are A LOT of derps masquerading as cops. neither of these is good. [19:23]
davout the ones on their bicycle are the most problematic ones, they sneak upon you [19:23]
mircea_popescu on one hand, because a lot means they're expensive, and taken from more useful stuff. on the other, because if the cop can't hold his own then why even have him. [19:23]
mircea_popescu this isn't a "and they run into a cop while he had his back turned and shot him dead". this is "french police reliably can not hold its own against determined assailants". well... [19:24]
mircea_popescu is the paris police force in danger of rape ? what's next ? [19:25]
mircea_popescu should they carry mace and avoid walking alone at night to the car ? [19:25]
mircea_popescu should they call home and have an adult male take them in hand ? [19:25]
mircea_popescu are they dressed modestly enough ? [19:25]
davout i guess we should simply send our cops to syria for training instead of our youth [19:27]
mircea_popescu i'd rather have 10 cops that have a ld50 dose of 3 shooting assailants than 10k cops that basically constitute ballistic sacks. [19:27]
davout choose which ones you buy carefully, problem solved [19:28]
mircea_popescu yeah, except in a society that does this everyone's doing something else stupid to compensate willy-nilly. [19:29]

PeterL how high of bandwidth could you transmit over shortwave? [22:40]
decimation well, it's not just the high noise - it's also the terrible multipath that arises due to ionospheric propagation [22:40]
decimation but multipath can also be an advantage... [22:40]
