t belive pirate's hash exchange was for.

pankkake: so you don'
t want on mpex anyway
pankkake: that's not really bothering me. I wouldn'
t pay the 30 BTC fee myself, nor do I desire to hold MPOE
mike_c: ah, no, i didn'
t make it up
Apocalyptic: mike_c, regarding your BitBet and MPex analysis on btcalpha, you claim these are "zero-asset company". I don'
t think this term is appropriate as they hold at the very least intangible assets such as goodwill resulting from their userbase and the reputation among other things
Apocalyptic: <KRS1> I don'
t have a title like Duke or anything. // a shame really
KRS1: I don'
t have a title like Duke or anything.
Apocalyptic: mircea, wait, you're saying risk pricing isn'
t a subdomain of finance ?

t be long.

t that's for sure

t change much either)

t that high.
mircea_popescu: and since it's impossible to take out later readjustments of the bettor, you can'
t really take out his original stake either. course i suppose what exactly you're trying to see
mike_c: i didn'
t want it to throw off the results. what i wanted to see was whether other people are being attracted to bets early.
mircea_popescu: i wasn'
t cause i have them, but the fact is there's so much counterintuitive if not outright fucking weird shit going on in btc
mircea_popescu: pizzaman1337 she had one but can'
t hardly be arsed to update it iirc
jurov: it makes little sense if you don'
t put collateral into picture
jurov: mike_c i can'
t wrap my head about shorting puts, how is the profit computed there?
mircea_popescu: i'm unemployed, mods please clean up my mess. i'm a quick study, believe me when i say so, pay no mind to the fact i can'
t be fucking bothered to figure out where my post goes
pankkake: what's a quiff? isn'

t it a bit early to be wasted vex?
pankkake: and that's only direct subsidies, anything bought by high schools etc. isn'
t accounted for
mircea_popescu: i don'
t quite understand why politicians still maintain the facade that the press people are like... people.

t follow politics at all

t do X trade now.
mircea_popescu: buncha people got them. i don'
t recall what the reason was supposed to be
diametric: (*) [ insert list of reasons that don'
t count as downtime ]
diametric: KRS1: from the customers point of view it doesn'
t matter. They don'
t want to hear why your provider has issues, they want to know why you didn'
t anticipate them and have alternatives in place to mitigate it.
mircea_popescu: you could have a dedicated 10gbit pipe for your blog. that wouldn'
t be 100%, it'd be "all those instances when you get hit with less than 10gbps"
KRS1: carrier grade network problems aside, it amazes me hosting companies can'
t have 100% uptime
Vexual: im jealous, i don'
t rememebr what happened last week
mircea_popescu: doesn'
t understand jack shit it's saying, but that's not part of the scoring card anymore.
mircea_popescu: being able to read or write doesn'
t make you literate any more than being able to css makes you a programmer.
mircea_popescu: and the world will exist just fine long after we won'
t even remember your shitty republic ever was
mircea_popescu: that wouldn'
t be very practical. i can only get it up what, a few times a day ?
Vexual: he wouldn'
t ride a jetski unless his crew designed it
Vexual: i don'
t think he'd give away a kidney, it might be a drain on the economy
mircea_popescu: VanCleef dude don'
t be a hater, he asked me. what am i to do ?

t he chair of the foundation or sthg?
Vexual: some logos are illegible, i hope they didn'
t pay too much
mircea_popescu: you're generally a lazy fuckwit that imagines he can redefine things in his head and that'll matter. it doesn'
t, obviously, but what difference does it make.
Duffer1: i wouldn'
t call that crackpot at all
Duffer1: meh their pow doesn'
t actually do anything
BingoBoingo: Well X-Ray crystallography is indeed a hard physical problem with varying and more expensive levels of difficulty. X-raying a mineral crystal isn'
t so bad. A given protein in fluid is a bit harder. Getting a good picture of a receptor protein as it sits in the cell membrane is an incredibly hard problem.
nubbins`: my fax machine doesn'
t support silver ;(
Duffer1: wow i didn'
t even know that rush YYZ acapella existed, that's just awesome
pankkake: probably won'
t even be fiat-profitable
mircea_popescu: by the time they actually find gold or w/e btc will have gone up so far it still wouldn'
t have been worth it
Duffer1: i don'
t follow their scam actively, not sure
pankkake: but then you have to look at those that didn'
t actually finish the IPOs
Duffer1: i wish articles in r/nottheonion weren'
t 99% about america
pankkake: PSA: I am a lazy fuck, so don'
t buy any IPO from me. unless there's already some work done or something :p
pankkake: and they're just going to be scammed more… the guy isn'
t anymous, make him release actual financial statements
pankkake: "Ken has admitted a failing due to inexperience which is to be applauded in my book. That failing being his assumption that a third party subcontractor wouldn'
t let him down."
pankkake: I don'
t think that's a real job
pankkake: but yeah, if you have any doubt, then don'
t bother until it's not clear
Neil: Fucking betsofbico.in scam still hasn'
t resolved ~100 bets from last yr
pankkake: I want to write a "when not to invest" thing (It's pretty much the only thing I know; I don'
t really know when to invest :p)
KRS1: somone made a comment in this chan once..if you looked into it and still have to ask if somethig is a scam, isn'
t it obvious? I took those words to heart.

t invest in things that aren'
t transparent
pankkake: I don'
t think there is much profitability in it anyway
Duffer1: i don'
t see why casc would need one either then

t one of those typical things. Basically they wanted to make charges for something and the broad umbrella of disorderly conduct is allegedly where the alleged occurence fits.
BingoBoingo: KRS1: Well, I dunno how good my information is on the matter, but things don'
t look too bad
Duffer1: "There's too much shit in here I can'
t even pay attention to one thing for long enough to properly make fun of it"

t have petahashes anywhere in my computations

t think they'll end up delivering it all this spring, but anyway
