mircea_popescu: much like you know, trying to prosecute "buggery" because people who don't have sex don't want to think of sex in terms of "all holes, dp and your girlfriend". as if.
ninjashogun: Hi, Mats_cd03 and I have talked as well, but not on skype or anything. At the time i think I was just focusing on the newer business with you Mats, you would recall that I was talking in terms of a loan I think.
danielpbarron: right, they are cheap at the moment if you think of it in terms of the current FIAT price of BTC, but they are expensive if you are really long on BTC
nubbins`: percentage over face isn't a great way to price them, it's better to think in terms of absolute value over face
ninjashogun: In addition I've seen some of his skills in pentesting and security, and think he is the real deal in terms of what he can program. Here is his site, where you can see his photo and full name as well:
the20year2: I try to keep everyone updated. The video logs and the audited finaicial reports I think will put us over the top in terms of quality of transparency
mircea_popescu: perhaps unobvious in the fuel analogy, because the inadvertent reader will think in terms of power
mircea_popescu: or else you think of the world, in which case you come to terms with your own inexistence
nubbins`: asciilifeform i think the implication is that they like to think of themselves in terms of their marriage
mircea_popescu: herbijudlestoids think in terms of autonomous entities. like say an insect, or whatever. its survival as a type and as a species depends on interracting with an unspeicifed envronment a certain way.
mircea_popescu: think of utility in the following terms : people making on average 300 bucks here when rents are on average 350 bucks
benkay: chipug: again, don't think in terms of people doing stuff to bitcoin. bitcoin is here, and the world must now deal with it. that in now way entails saying no to the changes it will bring.
mircea_popescu: think in terms of how the processes are articled in fact,

Neil: ThickAsThieves: How much hashpower in terms of TH/s will be brought on line each week do you think for the next month?
KRS1: you really cant think in terms of that
Framedragger: parseval: yeah i don't think sqlite is a good solution in terms of scaling. if you're using ORM abstraction, changing the underlying DB shouldn't be a prob, unless you're using some DB-specific functions. postgres is really nice for Shitloads of Data type of situations
mircea_popescu: think of it in terms of countries. there's two countries and we're measuring their power.
mircea_popescu: think of it in these terms : company pops up, doesn't list on nyse, lists on pink sheets
doctor_pullfinge: I think the div was bigger in terms of USD, but mainly I think people spend x% of their USD based paycheck on s.dice. So, BTC dividend amount goes down
gesell: after some thought, on the whole s.dice share thing... maybe it's a good thing that people are forced to think in terms of long term investment (mostly for dividends) rather than traditional stocks. i;d be happy if you would under sell every time. at the moment bitcoin stocks are still, well, they shouldnt be assumed the same
mjr_: and i think humans are meant to think in integers...if i said give me a hundred million satoshis, and you said ok i'm gonna charge you 500 for the transfer or 50,000 for the transfer it's a lot easier for me to make sense of the terms, cuz they are the same way you would say them
smickles: I do prefer to think in terms of % anyway
mircea_popescu: "o ease the point into a "low information voter" sort of mental context, think of it in terms of television"
mircea_popescu: think in terms of girl looking for a husband. does she care if he;'s lucky or smart ?
knotwork: when i said "arbitrary assets" I meant quite arbitrary. I have created several plots now, showing things in terms of different assets like wht does it look like if you think in litecoin, what does it look like if you think in devcoin, wht does it look like if you think in bitcoin etc
smickles: convenience could be one reason. relatedly, maybe they can only 'think' in terms of usd
mircea_popescu: just, the natural inclination of people is to think in terms of, this db dump is for if i die. not what it is for. it's for if govt confiscates interwebs.
BTC-Mining: because I think it was in his terms that in case of default, he'd pay back on mining or something like that.
mircea_popescu: i think that may be better than average in terms of risk.
smickles: i like to think in terms of percentages
