BingoBoingo: The differnce between Darl and this pharma lol-cow is all this one does is use the rules exactly as intended without ambiguity
BingoBoingo: Pharma has had a few more "soft power" understandings. Like if the Jews in Israel at Teva can break even on a generic it isn'r really abandoned and such.
asciilifeform: the 'quotes' esp. lulzy.
BingoBoingo: And in pharma when it happens they have steroids
gribble: Darl McBride - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darl_McBride>; Darl McBride | LinkedIn: <https://www.linkedin.com/pub/darl-mcbride/0/889/95b>; Darl McBride - Wikiquote: <https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Darl_McBride>
BingoBoingo: But it is also the ONLY thing one can do
BingoBoingo: And yes the is "having problems"
BingoBoingo: Only scandal is he is a young buck taking the old stags to task
asciilifeform: the 'easy button' normally leads to 'have problems'
BingoBoingo: So why not get all of the Do-lolars?
BingoBoingo: He realizes that he has an easy button to get ALL of the dolalrs
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: COnsider though that this particular pharma slug is taking the other pharma slugs demanda upon the FDA to their logical extreme
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: 'must' my arse. fda as it exists today is a creature of the pharma cartels.
asciilifeform: my current understanding re: the firm from the link is that it specialized in ultra-low-demand items for which there is unlikely to be competition from foreign generics. clever.
asciilifeform: consider, where other than pharma does cost have no impact whatsoever on demand ?
BingoBoingo: But the short story for #b-a regs is this a a corn problem. If you can you must, and the FDA says you must,
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: SInce it is old news but super trending I'll have a piece on the particulars of this FDA sanctioned pharma racket in the next day or so
asciilifeform: but in the purely physical sense, a $10 (not even speaking of $1000) pill of ANY CONTENTS WHATSOEVER makes precisely as much sense as a $1M software package.
asciilifeform: why this particular schmuck was chosen as the whipping boy of the day, i do not know. but tlp's dictum 'if you're reading it, it's for you' comes to mind.
asciilifeform: also usg giveth, usg taketh away. a 'pharma ceo' has so much as one cent purely by the good graces of hitler - who helpfully keeps penny-a-pill indian generics mostly out of u.s. market
assbot: Logged on 23-09-2015 00:20:26; mircea_popescu: i bet the "controversial" ceo now uses his vast wealth to fucking hang the entire troop of assholes, including the da involved.
BingoBoingo after last outing with steel pole in the back yard picked up a pair of sweet gel bag gloves today. The steel pole felt like butterfly kisses wearing them.
BingoBoingo: This is going in a basement space where a prior retard fucking drywalled the basement ceiling
BingoBoingo in other news is finally trolling craigslit looking for an affordable heavy bag + stand combo
mircea_popescu: i bet the "controversial" ceo now uses his vast wealth to fucking hang the entire troop of assholes, including the da involved.
shinohai: I further explained the sheer idiocy of using a cloud instance to mine with, I wasn't some redditard from r/beermoney trying to collect dust.
shinohai: CS told me when I paid for initial service it wouldn't be a problem. I tried to explain it in the clearest way possible.
shinohai: Accused me of "mining" from the get-go, shut me down, I bitched and got it back up only to be charged that insane fee.
shinohai: I still have an account, just not gonna try and run bitcoind there, especially when they don't have a clue what it is.
BingoBoingo: fuck them
shinohai: I might host a node down the road a bit, my experience trying this with Atlantic was less-than-stellar and set me back some.
shinohai: That's what I'm using, a cruddy old laptop. Glad it was in the library locked up really well.
gernika: Would like to get my machine in a DC - but the cheapest hosting rate for a 1U I can find around here is $200.00/mo. Which is 4x more than I last paid for the same service.
BingoBoingo: 365 to 370 has been the slowest part of my craptop sync so far
shinohai: amongst other things.
BingoBoingo: The Po-Po plug is a distant relative of the traditional urban American dance the 5-0 fondle
shinohai: I was too lazy to alt to the hyphen, using my ancient droid to irc.
BingoBoingo: gotta keep the hyphen
shinohai hereby dubs the 21 by BingoBoingo 's name .. PoPo plug
assbot: So... can we agree that 21 Inc is the Cue Cat of Bitcoin? : Bitcoin ... ( http://bit.ly/1iL78hG )
BingoBoingo: Also, Lafond had a solution to the 'Murican Professetorial socialist problem too http://www.jameslafond.com/article.php?id=2931
BingoBoingo: Round these parts we use gate to refer to ungated fence openings too
BingoBoingo: And the gateposts can always be made taller
BingoBoingo: It's compressible to a point, but the bigger point is most of them won't make it to the edge of the pen
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo that's kinda the thing with the earlier "oh, they'll get out of the pen, fat is compressible"
BingoBoingo: lobbes: Feral hamplanets don't run around. They stay indoors, in bed, and get "home health" nurses too keep them... cleaner...
BingoBoingo: We may now be the short pork
BingoBoingo: The ones that have gone feral in arkansas have been spotted and shot at 8-9 ft long...
BingoBoingo: Just with actual pigs getting to 6-7 ft in length are hamplanets still really the long pig anymore?
mircea_popescu: you know, like there's relatively little research on the true benefits of hanging us academitards above a smoldering pit of hot peppers.
BingoBoingo: They even work almost in USia. Just rare to find people who get them, because so many people got to the MIT-Harvard free if you aren't a Soros lottery
mircea_popescu: "Critics have said that merit scholarships may help institutions, but dont truly help students (most recipients of merit scholarships have many options) or broad social needs in higher education (the merit awards divert attention and funds from the needs of low-income students)."
mircea_popescu: in the us, i am deeply unsurprised it would do nothing.
mircea_popescu: well they don't know about his glbse shenanigans
BingoBoingo: "The yield for those who received the $7,000 annual scholarships was 7.1 percent a statistically significant difference" ... lol "At the same time, the study suggests that the impact of this kind of merit aid may not be large -- the yield rate was low even for those receiving it."
BingoBoingo: Of course. And each new one is less relevant than the old one. The old ones less relavant. More people hate Thermos than ever and they aren't even talking about his GLBSE shennanigans
mircea_popescu: fragmentation of the masses! for gleat gloly & justic!!1
mircea_popescu: so now there's going to be three-four meaningless forums + reddits + whatever else.
mircea_popescu: kinda lulzy outcome, the stupid got left behind and then decided to give away their remaining asset and split up!
BingoBoingo: The Bitcointalk crowd is hopelessly lost
mircea_popescu: anyway, the angry jealous poor club should take solace in the knowledge that i've shed more dollar value this calendar year than they will ever manage to see.
mircea_popescu: we don't disagree there.
mircea_popescu: as far as i can see the only salient points re isis are that a) has own agency ; b) percepibly unalligned to usg.
ascii_field: but isis is being advertised as a conquering thing in the ancient sense. with territory held, administered, taxed
mircea_popescu: the very definition of army includes two points : a) that it does not support itself (if it did it'd be a stampede) ; b) that it makes up the difference through plunder.
mircea_popescu: ("our tanks photosynthesize now!!11 SUPPORTS ITSELF!!1")
ascii_field: except that buried in all of these are actual questions of fact that have - somewhere - answers. such as 'does this army fully support itself on plunder, or needs external supply, and if so, from where'
mircea_popescu: political choices are in the end nude exercises in narrative fiction.
mircea_popescu: so i guess the real story here is, mujahedeen cultivated usg to provide them with apples.
mircea_popescu: "usg spent some items to addresses it didn't have the key for. isis cracked the keys."
ascii_field: the pieces are edible.
ascii_field: it has pieces of itself, that come loose, like the zombies in 'quake'
ascii_field: let's rephrase without the agency.
mircea_popescu: the us can't even consent.
mircea_popescu: so it did exactrly nothing. the men i nthat relationship are non-us
mircea_popescu: nobody cares what the usg "did"
mircea_popescu: what do you think theft is ?
mircea_popescu: they came upon an item and took it.
ascii_field: stole how? crate had address 'to rebels, but not THESE rebels' ??
mircea_popescu: your gambit is to administratively suspend isis' agency, because you're too enamoured with the usg and that requires you (also administratively) assign all agency to it.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: so where did the arms, food, etc. come from ? fell from mars ?
mircea_popescu: because that's the thing with fiction : it's nonsensical, which means you absolutely need a carefully curated set of sentences be considered
mircea_popescu: you have no better reason to pretend "x has arms because y" than to pretend "x has 12yo hooker because y". the choice of which of these to emphasize is the liberty of the scriptwriter in works of fiction.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: i might be thick, but i entirely cannot see how the hooker connects.
mircea_popescu: "The [Washington] Post lied to its readers by printing stories it knew were false," mmmkay.
mircea_popescu: yeah, totally. and if i go buy a twelve year old hooker in the DC, it's also the usg that supplied her right ?
mircea_popescu: "really ? make them sit on a pineapple."
mircea_popescu: so then all this talk is really so much cockpulling.
ascii_field: i'd be surprised if usg had never tried to roust up rebellion among the chukchas
mircea_popescu: the missing part of this "textbook" is how come there's no equivalent in say artic circle.
assbot: Logged on 22-09-2015 22:01:46; mircea_popescu: quite. "a kind of quasi-autonomous golem." === "" these classifications that sorta are adaptable to suit history."
ascii_field: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=22-09-2015#1282871 << the basic textbook example is mujahedeen in afghan.
ascii_field: for all i know, new york isn't even there any longer. been a while since i visited.
ascii_field: germany is not sending squads of mercenaries to get own arses fed to them in new york
mircea_popescu: "aok then."
mircea_popescu: last i heard germany is not levelling new york with tactical nukes either.
mircea_popescu: quite. "a kind of quasi-autonomous golem." === "" these classifications that sorta are adaptable to suit history."
mircea_popescu: isis wiped the us army
mircea_popescu: ascii_field has these classifications that sorta are adaptable to suit history.
ascii_field: PeterL: and even if they had, there is nothing to associate the keys with the genuine article
PeterL: ISIS could clearsign a statement with their donation address? Have they published any public keys to compare against?
mircea_popescu: jurov from what i've seen, it's a certain river + sandy dune thing they like.
ascii_field: (what is the minimum number of corpses required ?)
ascii_field: when they lay out a quality rsa8192 in the desert using beheaded infidels, fresh and still spurting, then.
jurov: pediwikia says they live anywhere except (sub)arctic

ascii_field: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=22-09-2015#1282830 << until they carve public key on camera into the back of a prisoner or ten, how exactly could would-be donors know that they are sending to isis and not to usg ?
PeterL: Don't they have black kids in texas?
PeterL: Why are so many quarterbacks white? And are there any good white running backs?
BingoBoingo: PeterL: Yeah, they caught all kinds of things that had no business at all being caught.
cazalla: BingoBoingo, this shit is doing the rounds again too http://www.econotimes.com/Islamic-State-using-bitcoin-to-fulfil-state-crafting-ambitions-92261
PeterL: grabby receivers as in they catch all sorts of things?
assbot: Logged on 12-09-2015 23:23:51; mircea_popescu: "To get Heaviside away from Newton Abbot, his brother Charles arranged for him to live with his sister-in-law, Mary Way, at her home in Devon. Since Mary lived alone, having the eccentric Heaviside live upstairs from her seemed like a good idea. Unfortunately, things got even more bizarre at that point. Heaviside insisted on treating Mary as a slave despite her being the owner of the house. Not
PeterL: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com//?date=12-09-2015#1271995 << Heaviside sounds alot like the character Sheldon on "The Big Bang Theory"
BingoBoingo: Which is kinda part of why Alabama killed us in the SEC championship. Hard to run against a fast 300-350 lb line
BingoBoingo: Yeah. Last year was had some very grabby recievers, but still won games on the ground.
PeterL: makes it hard to win if you can't move the ball
BingoBoingo: I don't think Mizzou can and survive their non-divisional conference games without sever embarassment. Our big problem is Mauk lost the only recievers who can catch his passes and our elite running back sprained his ankle against Southeast Missouri...
PeterL: I don't think a win over a FCS school should count on the record (but a loss should count as 2)
PeterL: I wish more teams played good competition in their non-confrence schedules
PeterL: My Spartans got ranked #2, and the #1 OSU is looking pretty shaky, I don't think they will last long enough for us to knock them off their pedestal
BingoBoingo: They won't keep winning if they play like they did barely beating Arkansas State and U Conn
BingoBoingo: PeterL: Been following it a Bit. I'm worried because Mizzou won its non-Conference schedule and Georgia beat SOuth Carolina. We might not take the SEC East this yeat.
PeterL: A while back mircea_popescu was amazed no US cell phones have free incoming: my cell phone is unlimited calling, therefore free incoming (MetroPCS)
BingoBoingo: Hi PeterL, How's the lab?
BingoBoingo: <cazalla> punkman, aussie banks started this about 2 years ago and it's just the continuation of them closing accounts, not something new << This, someone had a slow news day and wanted to make a fuss

shinohai: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=22-09-2015#1282775 <<< we have bats that live in the barn across the road. They decimate the mosquito population nearby.
BingoBoingo: <jurov> wonder why noone sells them frozen. "prepare a jug of water. throw frozen larvae in. wait a week." << Hard to get the same level of repeat customers buying more every week
jurov: wonder why noone sells them frozen. "prepare a jug of water. throw frozen larvae in. wait a week."
jurov: best thing against mosquitoes are dragonflies. with bonus of watching them hunt.
mircea_popescu: so he gets two years (plus two from the original, suspended sentence)
ascii_field: the ~right thing~ would be a grid that is normally at low voltage but boosts to max if capacitance changes (bug touched)
ascii_field: doesn't work even with the supposed lure
ascii_field: i have one. it mainly blows up beetles but does nothing against the real pestilence, the mosquito.
mircea_popescu: anyway, there's these fluorescent + static things to murder flying bugs outside, at least those do something.
ascii_field: my understanding is that the 'motel' notion was partly a misguided variation on the usual rodent trap, and partly a cynical scam (there could never be, clearly, anything like sufficient room in the trap, but it will superficially appear to 'work')
mircea_popescu: unsustainable and provably-won't-solve-the-problem but hey, it has a nice package!
mircea_popescu: i guess the problems in the ustard head are actually there. same sort of thinking that creates "war on drugs" creates this thing, too.
mircea_popescu: why the fuck would anyone buy this ?
ascii_field: 'Black Flag also marketed a related insect trap, the "Flyport," designed to deal with unwanted flying insects like houseflies, with the tagline, "Lots of arrivals, but no departures!"' << l0l

mircea_popescu: is the miniguillotine a masturbation tool ?
mircea_popescu: they may try to scam bitcoiners, for money, yes. but bitcoin companies they can not be.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo further proof (if such were needed) that no usg/vc funded item is a bitcoin company.
trinque: "No Mr Congressman, these are merely data processors which happen to be programmed."
ascii_field: 'At DEC’s founding, the US Congress decided that the US government had bought too many computers, and decreed that no more would be bought until those machines already acquired were fully loaded. So DEC sold PDPs, not computers.'

mike_c: problem with doing it live is that http://w.b-a.link/user/BitcoinConsultan doesn't have nearly as much info as the btcalpha user page
mike_c: kakobrekla: btcalpha eats the nightly db dumps

shinohai: umm .... ok because the gold standard worked out so well before.
mircea_popescu: "Likewise, barter is a very awkward way of doing business, especially when the other party to a deal is across the world. Thats why gold has acted as the medium of exchange for 5000 years or so and why gold or a gold-backed paper certificate will eventually replace all the fiat money that exists today."
mircea_popescu: and for that, you gotta pretend you're part of something worth something. cant just go out in the field. they've not yet invented the saprophytical parasite.
mircea_popescu: just like the libertard just went and made his country in africa and lived there happily ever after.
mircea_popescu: yeah, right. in other news, "Those who are interested in Trump are voting for a stop to the illegal immigration and the flooding of America with future Democrats who will have no jobs and live off food stamps, but are convinced the Democrats will keep their new way of life alive."
mircea_popescu: the "future of bitcoin" will be bitcoin, and it will be pointedly NOT "as anonymous and private" as a made-for-usg fake anon/privacy hangout. at the very least for as long as i'm around.

mircea_popescu: i always thought the spaghetti westerns were parodic, which makes them more palatable. tho i can't say i ever liked one.
mircea_popescu: so this is basically the porn argument ? "i dunno man, i just like how those two tits match visually ? it's an aesthetic thing." ?
mike_c: I like it like the spaghetti westerns. Just good popcorn movies.
mircea_popescu: at the very least the question as to WHY the phenomena observable take place is left entirely to the viewer. to my mind this disqualifies it.
mircea_popescu: but that's not really about the film, is it ?
mike_c: newman and redford are good together
