mircea_popescu: the entire alt community couldn't burn down one of my pubes if someone lent them a stair and matches.
mircea_popescu: whatg i don't know is what the whole sentence's supposed to mean
mircea_popescu: ;;later tell cads: "they started a tv channel a couple years ago, and were acquired for 20 mil by a holding company that same year." i think you don't fully appreciate the impact of tax optimization on all these deals.
mircea_popescu: ;;later tell duffer1 it's unclear you can do much shaping, specifically because of the weapons grade idiots. basically your choices will be whether you want them to spell stupid with a b or p, d or t. otherwise... stubid is stupit.
benkay: !t h rent
jcpham: except the ones that aren't
jurov: but you still aren't :D
jurov: why don't just back up whole /home?
Jere_Jones: Also, don't lose the keys. At the time, I didn't see any real value in the wot and thus treated my keys as disposable.
Jere_Jones: Is there any way to reclaim my nick in WOT if I lost the key or am I just SOL? (yeah, I know I shouldn't have lost the key in the first place)
nubbins`: "i can't comment on whether or not we're insolvent, that's confidential"
nubbins`: oh, wait, romania borders the black sea, doesn't it
benkay: their previous startup has burned through like 20M in capital, and isn't even dead yet
MisterE: like you can't fool people
MisterE: why would someone claim they know php / js and don't?
jurov: within 5 minutes we have shown he doesn't know php or js
Duffer1: i don't believe that will end well for them, but i'm not creative enough to figure it out either so who am i to say
mircea_popescu: it doesn't do 771 kbps, it does something like 30
mircea_popescu: doesn't eat that much bw, kbps.
cads: to them they don't even notice if I get slashdotted. For me it might take me out of business for a day.
cads: I don't think it makes sense to pretend youtube does anything other than make money off of other people's (chumps) content
Namworld: I didn't have cable until like 2000 and I don't know when we got Internet... probably so late.
mircea_popescu: which is how i got to hear about it, the anthropologists keeping track of the decay of the us cultural space noticed that it's not just that holywood can't make a film that's not either a very bad socialist tract or else a drug chain
cazalla: so you can't compare the 2 things
Duffer1: i don't know if there's support for that statement caz hehe
cazalla: yeah but i don't have the time for mmos anymore like wildstar
cazalla: we don't talk lol, not for years
mike_c: also, they aren't really "bots". just computer programs.
mircea_popescu: herbijudlestoids anyway, don't let any of the foregoing impugn on your intelligence or usefulness for the space.
mircea_popescu: antieconical lmao. they don't make e-cones zese pplz!
mircea_popescu: can't fucking apply numeric methods on something this conceptually fragmented.
mircea_popescu: for that matter, the other angle i can't reduce or disprove is "very small certain income > any other alternative, seeing how all other assets are -EV so far"
mircea_popescu: right. that's an angle i can't reduce or disprove.
mircea_popescu: herbijudlestoids there's no compelling reason to believe the price of mpoe isn't derived from its value as a currency.
mircea_popescu: (don't get me wrong, i get the ample wtftude involved here. i humbly submit it's not because of me but because of fundamental issues stemming from the nature of btc)
mircea_popescu: well i don't see i could disagree with that.
mircea_popescu: this will need more research rather than simple c/p stuff that really doesn't work in fiat anyway
mircea_popescu: whenever you seem just about to get it you retreat to declaring you ain't getting it
mike_c: !t h 7c
mike_c: well you are a quant :) (don't get mad now)
mike_c: well, that was part of his point. the pmb will necessarily decay. mpoe won't.
Bugpowdurr: Also damn, I'm on a network that doesn't let me send BTC.
Bugpowdurr: but doesn't at the moment due to unannounced options segregation
ThickAsThieves: herb the problem with all that really is you can't apply your numbers without making assumptions, but in fact, only one assumption can be made, you're making too many assumptions
mircea_popescu: apparently you don't ask very good q's :D
chetty: well mine has this silly habit of growing when I don't look too often :)
mircea_popescu: why do people bet on bitbet ? "so they can't spend the btc", sez someone yest.
mircea_popescu: fwiw, i don't think the entire "growth" bs is worth two shits.
mike_c: i don't care if you are saying it was too high, you are entitled to your opinion.
nubbins`: gg, didn't even see that coming :D
nubbins`: can't have too many features in the trial version
pankkake: disqus exists because static blog generators didn't resolve the comments part; and making the result worse in the end!
pankkake: typically disqus is shit because you don't have control of the comments
pankkake: the second you don't like it you can move out
nubbins`: don't hate on the man's hosting!
benkay: unless you have the rigor to do a '12f' application, don't fuck around with cargocult 12fa
benkay: i mean i just don't get it
pankkake: I haven't seen it much, but maybe because I usually influence those things
pankkake: benkay: well don't put it in your source control silly
nubbins`: anyway, if you hadn't offered to play, i would have burned my bread. just grabbed it in time
nubbins`: that's not me, i don't have a chess.com account
benkay: i just don't see any good reason to move my btc into neo/bee's pockets
benkay: i just don't see the genius, thecapitalr
asciilifeform: i honestly can't remember where i lifted it
pankkake: so trees stop wifi but space doesn't!
mircea_popescu: it doesn't HAVE to be an irc chan, but that's prolly the simplest implementation.
mike_c: !t h rent
mircea_popescu: i guess much in the way thepiratebay doesn't.
mircea_popescu: peterl whatever they have they don't pass the openbsd test
mircea_popescu: punkman i agree. sadly they don't respond to emails and don't have a (working) relationship with an agent and don't fuck anyone i fuck and so on.
kakobrekla: !t h cbtc
pankkake: because it didn't have a nakowa early on, I suppose
mircea_popescu: the impugned cbtc stuff however doesn't meet the same standards.
mircea_popescu: isn't that the electric itam ?
pankkake: can't deny it, being a mac user and all
punkman: I haven't used GPG enough then
mircea_popescu: i don't get it, gpg already recognises destinations by name, email, keyd out of the box
davout: punkman: you don't have autocomplete for key names?
asciilifeform: can't believe nobody noticed that tidbit
mircea_popescu: definitely clear you don't.
asciilifeform: '...certain crypto actions (signing and decrypting) are limited to users who store client-encrypted copies of their private keys on the server, an optional feature we didn't mention above...'
Jere_Jones: It isn't a matter of needing to be non-compliant. It would be a matter of not needing to be compliant.
mircea_popescu: if it rolls its own it ain't gonna be xml.
mike_c: i hope eulora isn't rolling its own xml encoder/decoder. that sounds painful.
mircea_popescu: Jere_Jones the kids don't seem to, which means you'll probably have your work cut out for you until you fall over
benkay: you just don't understand!
mircea_popescu: the agency was not built with a lawyer budget, so it couldn't pay
davout: ThickAsThieves: who knows... as usual, wear a condom and don't leave money on exchanges
mircea_popescu: i don't think any government in the world gets so badly raped in the courts as the romanian one.
mircea_popescu: (really, it doesn't want rich foreigners coming in scooping their shit country for cheap)
mircea_popescu: i don't imagine that list came prepopulated.
mircea_popescu: apparently it wasn't SUCH a good idea.
davout: i don't, know, isn't that their business model?
davout: not saying it wouldn't be possible tho
mircea_popescu: wait, that's still in business ? didn't it turn scam a while back ?
peterl: don't most exchanges publish volumes and prices, shouldn't getting an average be pretty easy?
davout: working out at bitfitness, bitches don't know bout my volume
davout: r3wt: tbh i think what matters most isn't the language, is to strive to understand exactly what's hapenning
mike_c: sounds like a kindred spirit doesn't he mp?
mircea_popescu: In other words, I was unsuccessful in explaining this rather basic concept. They got it blisteringly wrong, and hacked this wrongness into the language for all time. I attempted to explain (much more patiently than here) that no, this is not what === is supposed to do, but I wasn't heard. Not by Zeev, not by anyone else on channel. No one got it at all.
