smickles: lolwut? how is
the republican convention part of
the
teh democratic process? it's a bunchof representitives!
smickles: he basically said
that he has an army setup
to ensure
that
the convention goes smoothly
too
smickles: damn,
the
tampa mayor sounded like a fascist
jcpham: i spent
the poker winnings on hookers and blow already
mircea_popescu: buy
the entire guy's issuance out of poker night money.
mircea_popescu: jcpham well at 1 cent
to
the dollar it might not do any harm anyay
smickles: also i just love
the consonance of 'charismatic christian claiming', it subtley evokes a connection
the
the KKK
smickles: he is
the narcoleptic charasimatic christian from
the sapranos.
the writers must've had fun with
that one
smickles: either
that, or you are a charismatic christian claiming, "he is risen"
jcpham: i'm
thinking of getting real crazy and buying up
toxic glbse bonds
smickles: lol, gotta love some of
these speaches,
take at
their content,
these people support ron paul, but
then
they say elect romney
smickles: a
texas flag shirt and stedsons(sp?)
jcpham: maybe
that is what it is
jcpham: i
think local/city stuff is happening also
smickles: it's
the republican convention
smickles: iirc,
technically,
this convention could nominate someone else
jcpham: oh it is
the primaries
jcpham: i
thought
that was in november
jcpham: what is with all
the voting
talk
EmanuelDeOrtego: Yep,
the Ron Paul delegates are
tearing
the Republican party a new one.
smickles: so i
tune in and see a jew calling on god setup
to look like a nazi
smickles: EmanuelDeOrtego: is
this on
the internet?
smickles: lol, got slapped for claiming
to master
TheSeven :D
mod6: don't get graped in
the mouth by pirate
usagi: the
tentacle of grape.
usagi: I am
the lord of
trading
usagi: I am
the master of
the seven seas
usagi: Ha! killed
the panickers
rdponticelli: No, but buying into
the profits of a ppt operation after
the whole operations is busted...
smickles: i'm not so sure it was ever a 'smart'
thing
to buy into a ppt
apumpkin: that
thing is fucking beautiful
mircea_popescu: dude, you need
to pay
that wright guy for guitar lessons
copumpkin: pay me 10000 btc
to join
the inner circle
apumpkin: it might not be a problem,
the dumasses could save
the species
copumpkin: oh I'm not
talking about germs, just reproduction
copumpkin: I intend
to sterilize all men but me
mircea_popescu: the entire
thing seems really a discussion of sterile semantics at best.
mircea_popescu: the entire
thing seems really a discussion of semantics at best.
smickles: she'll do
that, and
then wave at me
copumpkin: mircea_popescu:
they're precise
to whatever depth you ask about, which is as much as you can ever hope for, since we don't deal in infinities
mircea_popescu: im sorry, i don't see
the problem. let
there be zeroes.
copumpkin: why is it annoying
that zimbabwe had a dozen zeros after common denominations of bills?
copumpkin: mircea_popescu:
that's effectively what people are doing, in an ugly way, when
they issue one billion shares of a company
that's worth 100k
mircea_popescu: so
then you can say i use fractionary shares in a fixed-point system with
the point fixed at 0
copumpkin: shifting
the conceptual decimal point
copumpkin: yes,
that's what fixed-point math is
copumpkin: although I guess you wouldn't want
them
to be holding companies
copumpkin: glbse would be able
to charge meaningful fees
to sellers of shares
too, for example
copumpkin: those who want integer numbers of shares can keep
trading
them
smickles: < mircea_popescu>
then again hathaway is what, 50k or something <<<
the going rate for a share of anne hathaway is only 50k?
copumpkin: and
the question is why restrict it
copumpkin: mircea_popescu: you have
trouble imagining
the benefit of it? a lot of problems become a lot easier if you more outside of
the integers
mod6: anyone who knows how
to
trade never would go long on $600 stock when you can buy options for a fraction of
the cost, which gives you
the option
to buy, but not
the obligation
mircea_popescu: well i doubt anyone seriously gets fuzzy feelings from he share being 600 rather
than .6
EmanuelDeOrtego: The stock doesn't go into weak hands who will
throw it away easily
EmanuelDeOrtego: You also don't have
to use long ass decimals from
the start
mircea_popescu: <copumpkin> it really isn't
that hard
to imagine buying half a share << what's hard
to imagine is
the benefit of doing so.
copumpkin: it really isn't
that hard
to imagine buying half a share
rdponticelli: Yea, but
the point is having something
that people still understand, also
copumpkin: you pick enough precision
to be divisible in either direction
copumpkin: the point is
to have something which can change in either direction
