mircea_popescu: the guy does have one excellent point tho : if you're concerned about a collapse, the marginal utility of putting 10% of your assets into a hedge probably far exceeds the marginal utility of putting the other 90%
mircea_popescu: "Roughly half the counties in our nation lack a single OB/GYN physician to care for women."
mircea_popescu: guess the country.
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 35900 @ 0.00081919 = 29.4089 BTC [-] {2}
decimation: yeah ob/gyn is a known target for legal scammers in the us
decimation: your kid comes out a 'tard - it's the doctor's faul
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: if you're concerned about a collapse, the marginal utility of putting 10% of your << there is another possible observation here. quite a few of the folks who might otherwise take an interest in bitcoin are 'collapse pessimists' - i.e. believe in the 'lead standard.'
decimation: yeah it's interesting that the "lead standard" crowd seems to have not adopted bitcoin
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [PETA] 52 @ 0.04113518 = 2.139 BTC [-] {4}
asciilifeform: (why a fellow who could afford to mount some semblance of adequate preparation for lead standard would stay in usa, is a question for them - not me)
asciilifeform: best hypothesis i know of - some folks want to 'die well' rather than live
decimation: yeah the amusing thing about most of those types is that they seem to want to "own" their own own bunker or whatever, rather than the more obvious strategy of "recruit army, train"
asciilifeform: 'recruit army' in peacetime generally gets you 'hutareed'
asciilifeform: ;;google hutaree
gribble: Hutaree - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hutaree>; Judge acquits 7 Hutaree militia members accused of terrorist ...: <http://www.freep.com/article/20120327/NEWS06/120327048/Judge-dismisses-critical-charges-in-Hutaree-case>; hutaree - YouTube: <http://www.youtube.com/user/hutaree>
asciilifeform: (minus the acquittal, normally)
decimation: well, you certainly cannot make usg your enemy either
asciilifeform: if you organize anything in usa that even vaguely resembles an army from a distance, you've made the enemy
asciilifeform: i dare say the folks who want to stick around to enjoy a hypothetical north american zimbabwe (usa minus mains current, sewer, water) are justifiably disinterested in btc
asciilifeform: speaking of sewage, i recently had occasion to learn the details behind herr orlov's assertion that usa minus mains current will drown in own shit
asciilifeform: walking trails in public parks here are, for various reasons, built on top of sewer mains (cheap right of way?)
asciilifeform: sometimes, you'll encounter a structure that looks like this:
asciilifeform: that's a 'lift station.' normally sewer is operated by gravity. but often, for reasons of cost, a pipe will be laid uphill.
asciilifeform: and one of these (electric pump) is built.
asciilifeform: no mains current - no flow.
decimation: this is a big problem in the maryland/dc area because it's a swamp
decimation: there's not much "downhill" to be had
asciilifeform: correct.
decimation: my own understanding of many of the 'trails' the DC area is that they were mostly railroad right-of-ways
asciilifeform: mostly from the (destroyed) trolley system from the first half of 20th c.
assbot: WB&A Trail | Maryland Trails | TrailLink.com
decimation: they only reason the right-of-ways survived coherently is because utilities like power were still in use long after the railroads went bankrupt
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 25200 @ 0.00081854 = 20.6272 BTC [-] {2}
decimation: it's quite enlightening to study the ownership path of the right-of-way deeds. One realizes that us infrastructure is pretty much like openssl: everyone knows it's a horrible pit, everyone uses it, no will to 'fix' it
asciilifeform: this, incidentally, is also where you find fiber.
asciilifeform: conveniently marked for enemy saboteurs.
asciilifeform: (usg likes to lay unmarked fiber for seekrit skvirrel use. what happens? it gets cut. as the recent case of a new branch of wash. dc metro)
decimation: there was another amusing example in the DC area a few years ago, after the "derecho" thunderstorm. power was out everywher - why? because none of the treehuggers would let the power-line clearances be maintained
decimation: result: constant loss of power (especially in older neighborhoods like in PG county)
asciilifeform: more complicated. the tree trimmers routinely cut fiber (likewise strung overhead)
asciilifeform: and so people resist them.
asciilifeform: (trunk lines are buried; houses usually have pole connections)
decimation: yeah most cable companies "rent" the low wire on power poles

asciilifeform: city can't really exist without something like metro. (trivial arithmetic - calculate what fraction of city would have to be demolished for parking lots if every bureaucrat had to drive in.)
mircea_popescu: it's in the interest of greater titage.
decimation: I guess my real point is that much of DC is an uninhabitable mad max land
decimation: and the parts that aren't are bezzle-priced
mircea_popescu: why are survivalist group womenz always so a) rare and b) unattractive
decimation: I think most women (quite practically) would rather die than live in mad max land
decimation: what portion of humanity would commit suicide if they were transported to 100 AD sans iphones?

mgio: hello everyone
mircea_popescu: The logic of a 10 year MOC exam is to keep us up to date, so it's fair to ask: what in psychiatry has changed in ten years, what are the major advances? Depakote was discovered to be the default maintenance mood stabilizer despite no evidence supporting this, but that fell into disuse at a time oddly coinciding with its patent expiration, which is suspicious but I'm no epidemiologist. Anyway, it wasn't on the test. Any
mircea_popescu: thing else? A few new medicines have come out, though none of them appeared on the test either. There's money to be made on the west coast using giant magnets, (fortunately) also not on the test. So? Was the ABPN worried I'd forget how to use MAOIs? I'm never going to use them, I have enough problems monitoring Xanax. The astonishing truth is that despite millions of dollars and hundreds of academic careers psychiatry
mircea_popescu: has made no progress in almost 20 years, let alone ten, a claim no other medical specialty can make, and the truth which cannot be spoken out loud. Hence an exam.
mircea_popescu: maybe i should spend my money printing fliers of this guy's blog instead.
mircea_popescu: most of the comments are derping about the guy's identity
mircea_popescu: i wasn't aware this was a secret
decimation: the history of medicene is mostly about trying to heal people but failing miserably
decimation: why should someone in this age have a different conceit?
mircea_popescu: depends how you look at it.
mircea_popescu: do you suppose medicine is responsible for all health ? or just for those cases it picks up ?
decimation: well no one can be responsible for everything
decimation: so the latter
mircea_popescu: but currently it's mostly regarded as "the health of the population" is a thing.
mircea_popescu: by the latter criterion i'd guess medicine is mostly successful
mircea_popescu: just as long as you don't try curing things that don't have a cure
decimation: like for instance, your brain has the crazy
decimation: !up Cory
mircea_popescu: i'd be kinda curious to see how a country worked where the cure for insanity was 2 years in parliament.
mircea_popescu: and they put in padded cells the sorts of idiots that wish to spend their time running for an office instead.
decimation: I'd say most democratic systems have created this situation anyway. What kind of person wants to be a bureaucrat who appears to be in charge yet can affect nothing?
mircea_popescu: actually that's the most appealing.
mircea_popescu: ask anyone, would they rather fuck a bunch of women, or would they rather not fuck at all but be regarded by their peers as a modern casanova ?
decimation: good point, except in the former case they would be considered pond scum
mircea_popescu: maybe by racist xenophobe male chauvinist reactionaries
mircea_popescu: y con queso
decimation: Congress has a 5% approval rating
decimation: yet most congressmen get re-elected
decimation: I guess the shame of the institution doesn't attach to its individual members
decimation: I suppose there's a reason that the Washington Monument is a giant phallus, welcoming the incoming classes of young interns
mircea_popescu: lol the only reason they get re-elected is the seniority system
decimation: you think the median voter knows about committee appointments?

mircea_popescu: no, but it makes no difference
mircea_popescu: it's like asking me if the median fridge user knows about the carnot cycle
decimation: people vote the party their parents voted generally
decimation: so it's a demographic thing, seems to me
FabianB: "<+mircea_popescu> FabianB what's unconfirmed do again ?" << number of unconfirmed transactions in btc network

FabianB: hmm.. will think about dblspent
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 40200 @ 0.00081835 = 32.8977 BTC [-]
mircea_popescu: having a few dedicated trusted watchers certainly cheaper than "everyone" doing their own watching, and certainly better than current situation (where most everyone doesn't do any)

ThickAsThieves: “Normally, we would expect the price to hit bottom around the time of the auction or soon after. Bitcoin isn’t that liquid so the sale will be hard to swallow. It is unlikely that anyone will bid above the market price – it would make more sense to just to buy in the market in bits and pieces and it’s not as if there is indication that there is bitcoin demand that is unmet

Sure, anything CAN happen, but some things are more likely to happen than others and there are ways to approximate that. You could even go in another direction and consider that if traders believe this shit, it self-manifests to some degree. Is it better to know the script, with option to follow it, or not know it

benkay: The scribe asked the Java master: “Why do you have me record so many tales of students who require correction?”
benkay: The master said: “So that a fool may read them, and realize that he is a fool.”
benkay: The scribe asked: “Does mere ignorance or error make one a fool?”
benkay: The master said: “No. The fool is the one who calls himself ‘master’ and speaks with a semblance of authority. His error begins when he opens his mouth, and multiplies when he closes it, leaving much unsaid.”
benkay: The scribe said: “Then would it not be wiser to say nothing, either to the student or to the scribe?”
benkay: The master said: “Indeed, my very existence on your pages begins and ends in error. If I had any wit I’d cast your book into the sea.”
benkay: The scribe said: “There is no book here, and no sea, and anyway you lack hands or a body to accomplish the task.”
