BingoBoingo: pankkake: I can't wait for the OpenBSD metadistro that follows the principles elided in the Bash that a hypothetical MP os does.
Duffer1: ognasty wouldn't listen
mircea_popescu: t make any requests, and don't expect anything, ever. If you have a problem, fix it yourself or get lost. They're NOT writing this software for other people to use. They're writing it for themselves. That's it."
mircea_popescu: "With OpenBSD, you have a community of hard-core asshole isolationists who freely and openly express unrestrained disdain for the less-knowledgeable, don't care about their users, don't want more users, don't entertain requests from their users, and who would prefer that you get lost rather than bother them. If you can figure their shit out, they're not going to stop you from using it, but don't ask any questions, don' ☟︎
Azelphur: far left is BCB, far right is BigBitzz, the other guys you all won't know
Azelphur: VanCleef: why wouldn't you be on IRC?
VanCleef: why isn't MP hunting hobo's
mircea_popescu: VanCleef don't you think if i cared to impress people i'd go out "having fun" instead ?
carpet: I don't listen to who is rich or not in bitcoin world., some have delusions of grandeur

mircea_popescu: yeah. shame on you, kako. that's why somalia isn't going anywhere
mike_c: Namworld: i don't think it's fair to say mpex bizness went down when btc price went up. november and december were high volume on the options exchange, it's just that mpex was on the losing side of the bets.
nubbins`: and the existence of brokers isn't well-advertised
foucist: you'd think prices wouldn't be a factor.. ?
foucist: nubbins`: and 95% companies don't dole out dividends ever :P
nubbins`: coca-cola didn't start doling out dividends until 28 years after incorporation
Apocalyptic: Namworld, making parrallels between fiat company APY and bitcoin ones doesn't make sense imo
FabianB: Wired were even later, weren't they?
pankkake: well, I didn't like it and made it known… which eventually got me fired
Apocalyptic: send them a niggers.txt explaining you don't give a fuck ?
lippoper: that isn't real money is it?
punkman: and by app I mean low-level library, because it doesn't do shit yet
sapp: yeah it won't have a chance to. It only works with API keys
nubbins`: well, after a cursory glance it doesn't look like it'll steal all your funds
punkman: sapp, maybe if it wasn't a website
nubbins`: you sure this doesn't infringe an amazon patent? ;)
nubbins`: realistically i won't click it, but feel free to go ahead and paste the link
sapp: okay I'll just show it if you don't mind, maybe someone can give an opinion or an advice
ozbot: Killing Zoe - "If it wasn't for my country..." - YouTube
asciilifeform: don't break the '11th commandment.'
the20year: Didn't realize the daily volume difference between mpex and HL till now
Vexual: or to watch t he video
ozbot: The Police - Don't Stand So Close To Me - YouTube
nubbins`: i used to own a SSBD t-shirt
nubbins`: !t m s.mg
nubbins`: HE DIDN'T EVEN KNOW HOW COLD THE FUCKING FRIDGE WAS

Vexual: i don't make the rules
ozbot: Guards Make sure the Prince doesn't leave this room ... - YouTube
Duffer1: if you buy mining gear and the price of btc goes up, then essentially you've lost value because you didn't buy and hold btc
chatquack: I don't think he will go for that. He wants a product to hold.
Duffer1: oh i thought they only did bulk chips, didn't know they had their own rigs
Duffer1: ironically if you didn't pay in btc then you could likely get your money back
VanCleef: you didn't learn the first time?
Duffer1: don't worry about it man, believe me i understand
chatquack: Don't tell the guy paying for it that.
jayk: i don't follow foreign markets
mircea_popescu: anyway, pretty much the only reason it's not hyperbolic right now is that the chinese basically don't allow leverage in that market.
mircea_popescu: lol bloomberg doesn't list it anymore ?! wtf is this
mircea_popescu: chinese govt bonds don't even trade on the open mkt
the20year2: i didn't even realize they issued bonds
the20year2: oh wow, didn't know that
the20year2: i still can't stand them
vial: why are we talking about the beatles? aren't they dead now?
the20year2: haven't been outside the US
the20year2: $35,000 house producing $700+/mo in rent isn't bad in my eyes
mircea_popescu: the20year2 weren't you into real estate ?
the20year2: it isn't profitable
the20year2: he isn't personally, but his contacts have some insane stuff on the horizon. And he has enough money to throw around to fund some good stuff
Duffer1: i didn't even know he was developing either
the20year2: He's already had 2 or 3 of his own runs of sha-256 asics, and from what he can tell, the scrypt process isn't significantly different
asciilifeform: i still don't understand why a fellow with an scrypt asic would bother to tell anyone about it.
Duffer1: isn't the buy-a-hash farm itself quite sizable?
asciilifeform: i can't say that i've collected every known sample, but virtually all crap artists are using some variant of gpu-capable miner
the20year2: I don't know, US machine shops are now able to produce the AR15/M16 at some extraordinarily low prices, even cheaper than Norinco in China can produce their own clones
asciilifeform: my understanding is that if it weren't for this, the last american machine shop would go broke.
the20year2: Eh , the USSR from my understanding helped them set up the fabrication process, even if kalashnikov wasn't happy
asciilifeform: who didn't. there is even at least one american copy.
mircea_popescu: twasn't a clone
Duffer1: i have yet to meet an american that doesn't enjoy a good army surplus store
the20year2: how about one of t hose old soviet radio to telephone rigs, the car based ones from the 50s
Duffer1: i don't believe it was the first, but it was certainly the most popular
asciilifeform: 'don't trust your heirs with your dangerous phone? turn it in for a penny'
benkay: well except that small government in this scenario is more like "dude who has wrassled himself up control of the local area and isn't carrying goldbrickers"
Duffer1: meh i wouldn't trust small govt politicians to have a clue any more than big govt politicians
mircea_popescu: so you can't sandwichboss
dub: my girl got 3 degrees but can't make a sandwich
Azelphur: am I the only person around here who doesn't have women problems? XD
pankkake: I worked with women and didn't give them any special treatment
mircea_popescu: pankkake you likely don't understand the drive of people from novosibirsk to mogadishu to be businessmen.
pankkake: don't loophole what I meant
benkay: i don't even
pankkake: you submit an order with a GUID so you don't end up with duplicates
pankkake: that's the thing, I can't wrap my head about how it is designed :)
mircea_popescu: it has to do with what happens once it loses connection but doesn't yet know it has.
pankkake: so there are orders that shouldn't be there? how?!
