asciilifeform: the money bathtubs await
asciilifeform: ( this is in the l0gz somewhere, ancient thread , if you give a damn )
asciilifeform: kanzure: objective was to economically make (by the kg) a (modified) butyrylcholinesterase
asciilifeform: kanzure: i and ~50 other folx, lost jobs, because it proved ~impossible to persistently force $valuableprotein secretion in ecoli
BingoBoingo suggests sticking to the basics. P53 overexpression, Myostatin inhibition, and let the dice go on everything else
kanzure: well there's some ecoli results for you.
asciilifeform: this was worked as ancient sf plot : breed 'nonvirusable' folx, then plaguenuke everybody else
kanzure: http://diyhpl.us/wiki/transcripts/hgp-write/2016-05-10/synthesizing-a-prototrophic-human-genome/
kanzure: also, i am part of hgp-write (basically human genome project 2.0) one of our projects is removing 7 codons from the genome to render human biology impervious to all existing viruses.
asciilifeform: but where is the causative link ?
asciilifeform: so far the volume of ~interesting~ result with meaningful pvalue, is -- afaik -- 0
kanzure: optogenetics is one way of interactive toggle (usuaully using neuronal receptors but there are other techniques such as light-sensitive cas9/recombinases/etc)

(rs1800497(C;C) better avoidance of errors). However this polymorphism comes with serious tradeoffs: antisocial, borderline, dissocial, and avoidant personality disorders, addictive and impulsive behaviors s
asciilifeform: concern is that literally the entire document linked earlier, is ~content-free

kanzure: and also the effect size is minimal in many cases.
kanzure: well in many cases the mutations listed on that page have not been documented (on that page) as impacting positively or negatively. so the document should not be considered a definitive lookup table.
asciilifeform: re the linked piece, i'm not satisfied with the direction of the causal arrow having been established
kanzure: i am proposing an aggressive timeline like 100 designer baby genomes by 2030 and then 1 million designer babies by 2045
kanzure: basically i sat down and tried to figure out what is the most controversial idea i could possibly construct
BingoBoingo: kanzure: What's the worst that happens if you pitch in a public log?
asciilifeform: i'll also warn that neither mp nor most of the folks here, engage in 'private' conversation with folx they do not know.

mircea_popescu: but in any case prolly safe to say that the problems of the westerners were solitude, and inferiorty complex v-a-v majesty of nature. couldn't give less of a shit re "problems of society" for lack of one, or any desire for one. certainly the women had the healthy "if there's a cock i'm sticking in into me" attitude.
mircea_popescu: anyway. old blues (such as you may enter via say for the south-west fitzgerald, or for plain west joplin say) is probably a better path into late 1800/very early 1900s as far as the territories go.
mircea_popescu: the place was fucked from day one, as far as anyone knows. there was no point when it belonged among humanity.
mircea_popescu: it, which it. frisco ? or the west ?
mircea_popescu: ie, this ridiculous retrospective rewriting of old west history whereby "the women" were somehow trying to make tombstone into cambridge (a ridiculous pile of pretense perhaps best exemplified by "ride a crooked trail") is just that : ridiculous retrospective rewriting. earlier bout of the whole "what happened ain't what happened ; what happened is what jew said happened".

mircea_popescu: well gotta have some basis ; otherwise what are you suspecting them of, "i suspect thee of me not liking you" ?
asciilifeform: proposed for lack of better hypothesis in my head
asciilifeform: i suspect that he dun particularly want to learn whether ~that~ button worx
mircea_popescu: well how the fuck would that have worked.
asciilifeform: nor the 'judges'.
asciilifeform: could have called it to get the illicit immigrants out of berkeley, also
mircea_popescu: he actually can call the natl guard.
asciilifeform: nah, same way as they unplugged his executive orders. 'pardon? very funny, d00d stays in jail, whatchagonnadoaboutit'
mircea_popescu: a coupla years of this, the pantsuit party will be akin to 1880s russian futurists.
mircea_popescu: way us works, "everyone's guilty", of nothing in particular but nevertheless. then trump's guys walk and the pantsuits are left to do 5+ years "sentencing guidelines".
mircea_popescu: aaanyway. zee pantsuits have serious reason tyo be worried, in a police state the unchecked power to pardon is very dangerous.
BingoBoingo: So Trump has unleashed Bannon, Gorkha, relieving them of obligations related to actual white house attachment. As this happens he's trapped Jared and Ivanka's establishment friends in Daddy's house, and Daddy's making the rules now.
jhvh1: asciilifeform: The operation succeeded.

mircea_popescu: the hegelian simms
asciilifeform: in other noose, asciilifeform found that there WAS a standard for sram simms -- http://www.nextcomputers.org/NeXTfiles/Projects/DSP_Expansion_Ram/JEDEC_64_Pin_SIMM.pdf -- and that vintage examples survive
BingoBoingo: In the school of Causes and Purposes Hegel is the progenitor of evil, but not cool like a devil or anything. More of a lame, bitter clerk who can't walk good.
BingoBoingo: Because Hegel was a fucktard. Because "German Idealism" isn't a way to model the world as the world is neither German nor ideal.
mircea_popescu: "Heightening the contradictions" was supposed to bring about teh worldwide socialist revolution! WHY ISNT IT!!

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-25#1703339 << depends where you live (ie, quality of soil) but strong concrete buildings can be actually worse in a flood than rickety bamboo shacks. depends on whether the soil gives way.

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-25#1703327 << the pantsuit hope is that they'll make it be about the south only, thereby saving their bacon. pretty standard divide et impera ploy, especially given their byzantine-level desperate factual situation.
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron further 450k ecu coming your way when you're good and ready.
mircea_popescu: WHAT THE FUCK
asciilifeform: in other noose, asciilifeform experimented recently with various prb ( after couplae year pause ) and reports that they never in any way cured the 'happy to sit for hours waiting for block rain to fall into mouth' sync behaviour.
jhvh1: asciilifeform: The operation succeeded.
trinque: got one here, but she's ample in the right places
shinohai: Well, never hurts to have an ample supply of women, you know in case you have to repopulate the city.
mircea_popescu: in other news, the ecu trades for 2500 to the dollar. ie, better than many fiat currencies.
asciilifeform: ( in line with the cable )
asciilifeform: another plus of small box with ssd -- you can use ordinary 12v lead cell as backup power.
mod6: also, to the readers, if power flux is a problem, best to use some power conditioning (UPS) of some sort - shut down and back up your chain as you can to help prevent against BDB corruption from bad-shutdown, etc.
mod6: fwiw, it looks like these lines from serialize.h :
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: if the build has eatblock, there's not really any setup needed, just needs the 'can eat' flag on warmup
asciilifeform: ( the blocks are fine, unless your disk is genuinely shot )
mod6: however, i might try a hand at keeping all but the most recent blk###.dat files, cutting them up with blkcut, then feeding them back in with eatblock.
mircea_popescu: unless she's set up for that, it won't be worth the time saved.
asciilifeform: you dun have to throw out the blocks tho
