ozbot: Climate scientists told to 'cover up' the fact that the Earth's temperature hasn't risen for the las
pankkake: I feel like the times when blocks aren't solved for 1 hour is a problem
mircea_popescu: then random bystander is, "why didn't you make them clearer!!!"
mircea_popescu: of course this problem wouldn't exist in the first place if people actually used gpg properly.
mircea_popescu: a bet of the sort "labcoin will sign at least X blocks in octomber" is weak however, because most miners don't sign their blocks.
Rulother: They couldn't even do it lol
mircea_popescu: that's all fine and good, however, that doesn't make its argument any sounder.
dexX7: obviously he can't froze trading and they "sorry, lab was a scam. you lost everything"
davout: not sure of the connotation of dumbfounded but perplexe isn't negatively connotated
pankkake: you just don't spot them easily
Apocalyptic: VanCleef, wannabe trader realize he doesn't know shit about trading, moreover he sucks at it
pankkake: it wasn't supposed to be in an hour?
kleeck: ThickAsThieves, you aren't going to clear all bids before the shares are put up for sale, are you? (This has happened in the past)
mircea_popescu: apparently wainwright hasn't read the scientific consensus re cfc gases :D
mjr_: isn't a free hooker an oxymoron?

asciilifeform: the fuhrer's playground didn't exactly go broke and keel over on its own accord.
mircea_popescu: you didn't know who kutuzov was before the event.
mircea_popescu: but in the end, if you don't have it you don't have it and that's the end of the story.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i still think that in the abstract it isn't, given that there's nothing magic about the code (quite a few people, myself included, have understood it)
mircea_popescu: this would be a step this way from what i recall your last position, which was that it isn't.
asciilifeform: i can't help but suspect that bitcoind-as-we-know-it is only a Schelling point b/c virtually no one understands the code
mircea_popescu: they don't decamp btc. they decamp obama, go vote rumsfeld or w/e
mircea_popescu: but as long as i have the total energy and it's fixed, you can't run fake perpetuum mobiles.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it won't be btc. the beauty is that we're perfectly severable. i just sit here and wait, and the scammers build themselves up. when their building becomes unsustainable for them, i cut their rope and they choke.
jcpham: and it doesn't even need to be true
jurov: ain't need no filthy VCs
pankkake: http://youtu.be/e8M6S8EKbnU?t=1m9s amazing company!
jcpham: i have one too but haven't logged in in years

Scrat: ThickAsThieves: rofl you couldn't make this up
pankkake: the phallic resemblance can't be a coincidence
mircea_popescu: pankkake why ? pubic shield dones't hurt much.
pankkake: haven't seen any vampire/goth/etc. related altcoin actually. sad
mircea_popescu: seeing how connoisseur isn't spelled that way, you should.
nubbins`: t-shirts and posters
jcpham: Rulother yeah i know it came from reddit but my wife doesn't
nubbins`: that their system isn't based on a rock-hard bsd kernel
mircea_popescu: pankkake what tremendous effort anyway ? type /query mir/t ?
mircea_popescu: then they discover i don't bite heads off and well... goes from there.
pankkake: but again with the lazyness: I usually use paypal even whene there is a CC option, because I don't want to fetch my credit card
pankkake: but I didn't set them up for it; I simply have them for other uses
mircea_popescu: just because i have an apple in front of my window doesn't make the apple i eat off that tree not worth 1/4 euro or w/e thery sell for.
mircea_popescu: yes, but that doesn't make it free.
mircea_popescu: moreover, considering what it icosts, if cheating is time effective then i guess you weren't in the target anyway.
mircea_popescu: i don't care, the ips you use to cheat can't be used by others to cheat.
pankkake: why isn't subscribing etc. automated anyway?
mircea_popescu: isn't that comprodisentery ?
mircea_popescu: they don't expire and what complimentary
mircea_popescu: wait, benkay doesn;'t have trilema subscription ?! when did that occur.
mircea_popescu: then got all butthurt when he couldn't have it back.
benkay: nah man i don't seek perfection, but i do expect people to infer the correct definition from context
benkay: but a) i don't bet on trivial shit
BingoBoingo: xanto: Sarcasm doesn't sell well here...
xanto: hashfast.org isn't scam
benkay: you don't need an asic mining thing
benkay: dev cycles ain't a thing
benkay: naw erlang's great if you can't wrap your head around lisp
BingoBoingo: benkay: If I don't want an editor that can play MacroHard wy would I want one that plays pong?
BingoBoingo: benkay: Because they don't know GPG?
xanto: benkay, I didn't understand your sarcasm, sorry.
BingoBoingo: benkay: I have about a hundred SSL certificates. Having a certificate for Google doesn't make you Google though. It is much the same as how killing Jesse James doesn't make you Jesse James.
xanto: Why wouldn't you be able to do it on another version?
BingoBoingo: Freebitcoinslist: Then why don't ehy have a deliverybet?
BingoBoingo: nubbins`: Haven't Bitfury and BFL done it?
Edward_: $billions. I don't know.
mircea_popescu: that is irrelevant for most people. ineffectual in this context means they don't do what people want them to do, not that they don't do what they themselves set out to do.
pankkake: You don't start an anarchy. They naturally arise after revolution."
kakobrekla: > 02:27.45 ( thestringpuller ) "My bank won't wire transfer to Slovenia (Bitstamp) says that it is a sanctioned country."
Kleeck__: This isn't Enron.
dexX7: but anyway, i didn't want to turn this into a lab discussion ;)
Kleeck__: I don't use Bitbet because most of the best that appeal to me have shitty wording and lack specificity.
Kleeck__: I didn't see the bitcoincharts bit.
Kleeck__: No it isn't.
mircea_popescu: i tell you, they don't average over the same period.
mircea_popescu: (that bfl didn't deliver ands that bitfury did)
mircea_popescu: i mean... on one hand forbidding bets of the sort seems strange, as the people aren't obliged to bet on it.
mircea_popescu: well i don't see him on atm.
mircea_popescu: looky, you can't argue "i had a proof but i ated it".
mircea_popescu: anyway, decisions that conflict with reality aren't at issue here. reality isn't what you feel it is, it's what you can prove it is.
mircea_popescu: and emphatically that putative authority isn't any user.
mircea_popescu: it's not a matter that it can't reveal tho.
Kleeck__: What a perfect position you've created for yourself MP. Bitbet = Reality, but it can't reveal how it comes to it's conclusions. :P
mircea_popescu: this is like going "o, the court should show me". dude... you got a case, show your case. you don't got no case... that's what it is.
mircea_popescu: also i don't see no rmbtb
mircea_popescu: well now we know for a fact it's not good : the bitcoincharts site doesn't include this bit2c thing
mircea_popescu: lol well, i'm willing to acknowledge i don't use chrome.
mircea_popescu: i can't load it. how'd i go about that ?
thestringpuller: "Put down the bong, the pope isn't coming" and such comments
thestringpuller: soooo i mean rickles isn't the only one talking out against obama
thestringpuller: STEWART: See the red line. You can.t use chemicals to kill your own people. You have to do it organically! America and the world want to make sure Assad only uses locally sourced, free-long-range land ordinance.
mircea_popescu: Since we're doing Casino : "Ace Rothstein: Listen, if you didn't know you're bein' scammed, you're too fuckin' dumb to keep this job. If you did know, you were in on it. Either way, you're out. Get out! Go on. Let's go."
pankkake: I'd just reply with "If you have Labcoin shares (and don't have inside knowledge) you ARE a fucking idiot. There's no grey area on that."
pankkake: it seems to be low risk for *him*, but I haven't read the details
nubbins`: actually, don't; you'll only draw attention to yourself
thestringpuller: "My bank won't wire transfer to Slovenia (Bitstamp) says that it is a sanctioned country."
