asciilifeform (or with a 'knife' in the general sense) [04:28]
decimation you mean dealing with broken bits, shavings, heat etc? [04:28]
asciilifeform and annealing. [04:28]
asciilifeform it is more or less impossible to anneal (and, opposite, harden) all but the smallest objects in 'jungle conditions' [04:28]
mircea_popescu the friction heat'd be the problem [04:28]
asciilifeform 'work hardening', yes [04:28]
asciilifeform you cut, and the metal in that place is now hardenes. [04:28]
asciilifeform *hardened [04:28]
asciilifeform have to take the piece out of the machine, anneal (soften) it, re-mount, re-align... [04:29]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform actually one should be able to anneal in jungle conditions. put gun on rock, put lens on gun around 7am. by early morning next... [04:29]
asciilifeform need even heat and specific 'curve.' [04:29]
mircea_popescu but the sun heat is even. [04:30]
decimation what about plasma cutter? wouldn't that heat while cutting? [04:30]
asciilifeform yes, you can build an oven 'archimedes'-style [04:30]
mircea_popescu something like that yea. [04:30]
asciilifeform plasma cutter is generally a 2d affair. [04:30]

mircea_popescu "too fast for meaningful heat exchange" [04:31]
decimation yeah that makes sense, too little mass in contact [04:31]
asciilifeform outside of the russian world, electrolytic machining only caught on in 2d - this is how circuit boards are made. (photographic etching) [04:31]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform iirc plasma cutting is 2d for a very similar reason : too damned expensive. [04:32]
mircea_popescu there is some 3d ablative tech sort-of similar, but mostly limited to medicinal use [04:32]

mircea_popescu decimation let's put it this way : long before 2050 it will be feasible to build a submersible that never surfaces, can host one redditard and weighs under 1k tons. [08:27]
mircea_popescu that's a cost of about 100k in scrap metal. ie, affordable. [08:27]
mircea_popescu the tech exists today, integrally. [08:27]
decimation yeah such a thing is probably near the realm of possibility, I agree [08:28]
mircea_popescu you don't need "air", you need oxygen. oxygen is in water, and not expensive to get out. [08:28]
mircea_popescu burning the resulting hydrogen in your own atmosphere a) purifies the air and b) makes water. [08:28]

mircea_popescu only seriously funny once someone loses an eye. [10:57]
ryguy_` sneak a look at bitcoin stuffs when im taking a break [10:57]
mircea_popescu ryguy_` now that's a transition. [10:57]
ryguy_` what do you guys think of this https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8200912 [10:57]
assbot Liberum Consilium: a system design for moderated deliberation [pdf] | Hacker News [10:57]
mircea_popescu so you love saas so much, platonically, that you;ll abandon your hyperion-freedom to become a mere mortal for its sake ? [10:57]
ryguy_` its like an identity, reputation, proposal (legislation, etc) system [10:58]
mircea_popescu can it be not a pdf ? [10:58]
ryguy_` yaaaaaa i know [10:58]
mircea_popescu also, can it quote stuff like the wot, bitcoin assets and so on ? [10:58]
ryguy_` you got some command line tools to deal with pdfs ? [10:58]
mircea_popescu i deal with pdfs exactly like i deal with the tim swansons of the world. "who asked you anything and what gives you the impression you have something to answer with." [10:58]
ryguy_` yeah i stumbled into it like 4 years ago still trying to shepard it to passive income land [10:59]
ryguy_` needless to say i was unaware of btc, just getting my head back on my shoulders concering 2008 crash and what it really meant, etc [10:59]
ryguy_` plus the powers that cant maintain their quo are making things real obvious right now [10:59]
mircea_popescu helpful isn';t it. [11:00]
ryguy_` anyway, yeah i'd rather be in a south american city screwing with btc but i got commitments like whats his face from the shining [11:00]
mircea_popescu the irony of the situation is that with enemies like these, btc really doesn't need any friends. [11:00]
ryguy_` are you talking about me or the link i pasted [11:00]
ryguy_` or a third [11:01]
mircea_popescu neither. " the powers that cant maintain their quo" [11:01]
ryguy_` ahhhhh yeah haha [11:01]
ryguy_` i love how some of the garbage intel agencies have the squid over the globe imagery [11:01]
mircea_popescu amusingly, i think this was discussed. [11:01]
ryguy_` so i wanted to make a blog called painful squid and highlight all the retarded shit they've been doing [11:01]

ryguy_` i dont trust the circlejerk psyops and stuff going on now though [11:03]
ryguy_` spys spying on spys spying on spys [11:03]
mircea_popescu anyone can send you w/e the shit they feel like. afaik that's how cryptome work [11:04]
mircea_popescu s [11:04]
ryguy_` cryptome says wikileaks was a intel agency job and assange is in the embassy collecting leaks on behalf of god knows who [11:04]
mircea_popescu i think they just randomly publish anything. [11:04]
ryguy_` rather let this thing fall to pieces and get in afterwards on the infowar stuff [11:04]
ryguy_` yeah [11:04]
ryguy_` well just in general, you got these other news papers with their leak drop boxes. im sure plenty of them are run by handled individuals. feel sorry for the unsavvy leaker at the moment [11:05]
ryguy_` and snowden too, what a mindfuck. is it just a cia hit on the nsa for the budget ? who knows, who cares [11:05]
ryguy_` btc is more productive than leaks because idont have what it takes to not get doxxed [11:06]

ryguy_` oh yeah [11:10]
ryguy_` you are preaching to the choir [11:11]
mircea_popescu it's what i do best! [11:12]
ryguy_` im over the system and how it works and stuck on trying to help decently smart people understand whats going on [11:12]
ryguy_` i always give them an out with [11:12]
ryguy_` "the FED might have been the best option we had at the time" [11:12]
ryguy_` knowing that isnt true [11:12]
mircea_popescu well in the sense stalin was the best option at the time, and hitler too. [11:14]
BingoBoingo Well, the Fed was the best weapon for defeating the soviet union while turning into a worse soviet union [11:14]

ryguy_` do you think high frequency trading or polling type strategies would or will be prominent ? [11:20]
ryguy_` i just wanna invest and execute trades for clients and ease everyoneeeee into a btc based stock market like warren benjamin graham [11:21]
ryguy_` its hard to discern what is or is not related to the fraud, or a byproduct of the fraud going on now a days. Im open to the argument that hft creates liquidity but how much liquidity does a market need, ya know [11:22]

ryguy_` and how that would definitely not allow any hft stuff to go down [11:25]
ryguy_` anyway. bigtime respectable thing you guys got going on here. especially the trash talking which is just brilliant. and settling with the SEC, wth. i cant even really find any reading on that SEC issue though [11:28]
mircea_popescu ryguy_`> do you think high frequency trading or polling type strategies would or will be prominent ? < in a word, no. [11:28]
mircea_popescu ryguy_` short version : guy retired his mpex issue. sec desperately wanted to purchase some relevance, so they tied some blown glbse/twitter offering he had with the mpex offering, and pretended like they scored some sort of victory. [11:29]
mircea_popescu this is so transparently ridiculous half the bureaucracy is laughing at them, leaving aside wall street and the people not actually involved in the us nuthouse. [11:29]
mircea_popescu but hey, working for the govt means you gotta eat the shit you gotta eat. [11:30]
ryguy_` i worked at a firm and we had to keep all the records incase the SEC guys showed up [11:30]
ryguy_` so this dude just gave back some kind of equity shares in mpex or a listed company like a retired couple gives back a condo timeshare [11:31]
ryguy_` he conducted some other transaction and SEC claimed those shares were apart of that other transaction ? [11:31]
mircea_popescu mkay, it's like so. guy made a "feedzebirds" thing, which he listed on glbse, which simply imploded. [11:32]
ryguy_` yeah [11:32]
mircea_popescu guy listed sd on mpex. about a year later, he claimed someone bought it and so it was delisted. mpex shareholders received a negotiated, fair compensation and it was the end of the matter. [11:32]
mircea_popescu the sec got a 20k settlement for the former, and is pretending it got a settlement for the pair. [11:33]

RagnarDanneskjol OH [14:23]
BingoBoingo I mean the pool is much older than that [14:24]
RagnarDanneskjol I see [14:24]
BingoBoingo It's just since ATC stalled out it was the only pool that was responsive to our rented hash [14:24]
RagnarDanneskjol gotcha - I'll work on that [14:25]
BingoBoingo And the p2pool type paying with the coinbase tx is very desirable, if it were replaced or needed to be replaced, that is a thing I'd like to see [14:25]

usagi For me, one of the most interesting features of a water fast is that your body will cut down on it's extraneous muscle mass as well as body fat. I will have to try it one of these days [18:33]

usagi Yea it has to do with your body overcompensating for keeping it's balance (for example) by adding extra muscle mass to groups of muscles in reciprocal inhibition, mass you don't need and which interferes with your motion [18:41]
* ADutchGamer has quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds) [18:42]
usagi My theory is if you perform certain kinds of exercises your body will cut out the extraneous muscle mass inhibiting your motion and you will be able to move/respond quicker using less energy. Useful for sports [18:42]
usagi I also imagine the restriction would also allow you to increase or reduce the ratio of fast twitch fibres, because theoretically the body wouldn't toss out muscle mass which is being frequently used [18:43]
