mircea_popescu: nubbins` no, giclee was an actual thing. back before the americans got involved.
mircea_popescu used to do art photography, made and sold actual prints etc.
nubbins`: yep and the actual thing was -- a fancy inkjet printer.
nubbins`: full stop.
mircea_popescu: not really, no.
nubbins`: really, yep
mircea_popescu: in this sense, you're a fancy woman.
nubbins`: i don't even have the same parts
mircea_popescu: hey, you got lungs and a liver, so...
nubbins`: heh.
nubbins`: but in total seriousness, giclee was originally meant to specifically refer to printouts from IRIS brand printers
nubbins`: which were... inkjets.
nubbins`: (micro piezo heads instead of shit "bubble jet" heads -- the spirit of IRIS lives on in Epson printers today)
adlai: mircea_popescu: that's why you call it a segradoodled addroose, instead of bitcoin
nubbins`: micro piezo = voltage-controlled ink density
mircea_popescu: anyway. the machine used, an iris printer, uses fine glass rods under high pressure, which print continuously.
adlai: the Sufficiently Smart Econ should be able to tell them apart
mircea_popescu: there is SOME similarity with inkjet, exactly of the nature of nubbins` womanhood.
adlai: humans are another story, but they're allowed to fend for themselves
mircea_popescu: nubbins` right. you ever seen either the thing or its output ?
mircea_popescu: the damned thing worked in the mhz, not the khz stuff epson piezo does
mircea_popescu: (not that even so reduced it's visibly better than the other inkjets)
nubbins`: now we're measuring intercourse by the speed of thrusts?
mircea_popescu: no, we're measuring fine-ness by the... fine-ness!
nubbins`: anyway you're correct, turns out IRIS printers use electrostatic too
mircea_popescu: anyway. plenty of people who saw the item and its products actually blew the 100k or w/e it cost (ie, the cost of like a dozen houses in the us at the time)
mircea_popescu: because it actually was that good.
nubbins`: have seen "authentic" giclees, they're a rare bird these days
mircea_popescu: anyway. my abandoning the entire "art photography" thing is pretty much in step with iris' demise as a thing.
nubbins`: iirc epson picked up the fine-art slack when IRIS declined
mircea_popescu: nubbins` i do mean fresh tho
mircea_popescu: the unfortunate thing with them is that 10 yr is not the same as 10 hr.
adlai: ok, candidate #2: "I don't know what language it'll be in, but by the time trb prints a code, it'll be with sticks and stones"
nubbins`: yeah
nubbins`: ink longevity has come a long way since then too
mircea_popescu: couirse we didn't really know this in the 90s
mircea_popescu: imo the entire giclee thing is how we fdound out.
nubbins` uses dye inks rather than pigments, (perhaps foolishly) choosing gamut over lightfastness
mircea_popescu: yeah welll....
nubbins`: gamut and color accuracy over lightfastness, even.
mircea_popescu: in honesty i don't think the sort of people still are made today, but you can't imagine the worldending chagrin and sadness of someone who truly loved a print

BingoBoingo: If anything more abortions would be a fine thing. It would just be nice if abortions didn't require finding clinics oriented towards correcting one's political health.

adlai: i'd rather have hell overrun by the cries of aborted "babies" than the anguish of wasted lives
BingoBoingo: aborted babies chill in purgatory with their blade hands.
danielpbarron: there is no purgatory
BingoBoingo: Purgatory is where crossfitters go for being so close and yet so far from following the path of Broseidon.
danielpbarron: I'm all for letting kids play outside and getting hurt, and even if that means the weak ones get killed. But to preemptively murder them, before they can even hurt themselves, and for the mother's convenience (when it is her due punishment to have pains in child bearing as per the fall in the garden of eden), is reprehensible.

danielpbarron: isn't down syndrome more like obesity, in that it is one step removed from whatever the bad thing is?
danielpbarron: funkenstein_, no
mircea_popescu: not really. it's a congenital defect. as fundamentally broken as it gets.
danielpbarron: at any rate, it's not the choice of anyone that someone has the syndrome is it?

mircea_popescu: but it must be pointed out that as many as 1/3 of all pregnancies are electively aborted by the woman anyway.

adlai: and/or issue a death warrant on me for trying to build a better mute button for our megaphone
adlai: the magic of bitcoin is that you don't have to press either one of them, you can just shout until the button breaks of its own idiocy
asciilifeform: 'go ahead and transmit your tx to the free^H^H^H^Hterrorist world, but be prepared to wait two years for a confirmation. or you can send to u.s. fed miner and get in the next block.'
asciilifeform: ('legal transactions only')
adlai: really, if it thinks such a scheme will pass, i invite the sexprs into my neural sandbox
trinque: here comes danielpbarron to quote rev 13:16
asciilifeform: did i miss a tray of lsd being passed around earlier.
adlai: what tray, there were only two cubes :(
trinque: probably ott's fault.
adlai: perhaps, the market is known to precede itself
adlai waits for marines to kick down some door, see you on the other side of the burlap sack
asciilifeform: adlai: the 'free market for negative block space' follows trivially from the scheme discussed in the old thread, where miner optimizes for fee/byte
asciilifeform: you can occupy as much space as you like by bidding up.
asciilifeform: fill it with whatever.
adlai: and there's no public way to politely request that hashpower babysitters bid down
asciilifeform: 'free market' doesn't come with a 'let's all chill and think and do we really want thermonukefest??' button
adlai: beyond bitchering about relaying as though your nodeship can seed the clouds
asciilifeform: if prisoner's dilemma somehow solved itself, you wouldn't need miners to begin with
adlai: seriously though, i have logs better worth burning my carpal tunnels over, and they tend to come in parenthesized pairs
adlai: (who knew neuron space could be so prosaically constrained!)
asciilifeform: looks like Vexual's vacant chair is finally filled ?
adlai at least tries, when picking lsd visions to distill into signed code, to look out for bitcoin's well-being
adlai isn't sure what title Vexual's chair ever bore?
adlai: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com//?date=05-10-2015#1292413 << i'd nominate pete himself for this one :P
assbot: Logged on 05-10-2015 23:19:14; pete_dushenski: if so, there go all my crank theories, right out the window !
adlai: he at least seems to have bought his voice with money, whereas i seem so far to retain it because the wot finds what i say or do sufficiently profitable or funny
asciilifeform: wai wut
adlai: !gettrust
assbot: You need to specify one (or two) nicks.
adlai: ffs whatever happened to context
adlai leaves it to the sufficiently motivated plumber
asciilifeform: !gettrust pete_dushenski
assbot: Trust relationship from user asciilifeform to user pete_dushenski: Level 1: 0, Level 2: 13 via 9 connections. |http://www.btcalpha.com/wot/trust/?from=asciilifeform&to=pete_dushenski | http://www.btcalpha.com/wot/user/pete_dushenski/
BingoBoingo: Wait adlai is this the vexual is satoshi theory?
adlai: nah satoshi is some guy in #zennet who thinks i don't understand O(bullshit)
adlai wanted to bitbet short puts on the AGRS altcoin, but it turns out to not even be more than TLS-signed bittrext
adlai: the brains behind it spin a bullshit game that would make robert viragh proud
BingoBoingo wonders if there is a 12 step group for LSD adlai can explore, remembers medically induced ibogaine hallucinations likely conntributed to Bill's spiritual experience
adlai: nah bro haven't you heard, it's the self limiting drug
assbot: Ten Economic Blunders from History | Mises Daily ... ( http://bit.ly/1Y3SJj9 )
adlai: http://journals.plos.org/plosgenetics/article?id=10.1371/journal.pgen.1005713 << possibly intriguing for any meth witches in the audience with a poor bullshit game
assbot: PLOS Genetics: Hnrnph1 Is A Quantitative Trait Gene for Methamphetamine Sensitivity ... ( http://bit.ly/1Y3SULk )
adlai: bwah 'The market, known as the Policy Analysis Market, or PAM, never got off the ground. Democrat politicians in the Senate uncovered the plan in July 2003 and it was dropped amid public outcry. Ron Wyden, a Democratic senator from Oregon, expressed the prevailing attitude when he said that "The idea of a federal betting parlour on atrocities and terrorism is ridiculous and it's grotesque."'
asciilifeform: ahahaha the admiral poindexter thing
adlai didn't realize the oft-mentioned godfather of predixhun markets was behind this
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 47150 @ 0.00048425 = 22.8324 BTC [+] {5}
