mod6: tucson doesn'
t have much in IT except IBM or Raytheon (which requires Top Secret Clearence)
mod6: but at the time of the crash, if anyone had a job, and made it past the budget cuts, they weren'
t moving out of them so it was a really hard thing to find new positions at the time.
smickles: mircea_popescu: it pops in fake votes that don'
t count so that people don'
t just vote on what is popular, or something like that
smickles: reddeit has a system to hide votes so people don'
t game it somehow
mod6: i don'
t live there anymore, but I'm STILL the mayor.
smickles: well, i don'
t mind shittalking parents who are likely shortening their kids life like that
mod6: i was sitting in the ER @ UMC this one day, and these kids had a baby who was like, coudln'
t have been more than 5 months old, maybe 8?
mircea_popescu: i don'
t see why anyone (other than patent scammers, thieves and general scum) need to be much worried.
B0g4r7: The only convincing evidence I've seen is that email from the Mustakis guy saying that he was looking into BS&
T.
veemirc: no one really knows what's going on since Nefario supposedly can'
t give any information about it
veemirc: and to tell the truth, who wouldn'
t :)
smickles: mircea_popescu: it couldn'
t be :x
smickles: dub: I wan'
t to shouth that link from the rooftops
smickles: mircea_popescu: heh, re rodger ver: i'm one of those peeps who defaults to thinking that his ex-con status was brought about by the gov'
t interferring with people's right to freely interract with one another
dub: hope the pillars aren'
t load bearing
mircea_popescu: jurov : the header isn'
t really intended for your use tho
jurov: and "Header:" is valid, i don'
t take issue with that. just that you have to iterate over it to find date/time
OneMiner: Anyways. If the queen is only good for ceremony and drawing in tourists... then let her do that. They can be as royal as they want, just don'
t use any public monies or lands. Let them follow the same rules as everybody else if these rules are so good. Full disclosure: I'm not a UK citizen.
knotwork: Because its British! It doesn'
t have to make sense it just has to have a stiff upper lip! Sheesh!
knotwork: Hey wait, Captain Kirk didn'
t get one? Hmm? Wasnt he too a Shakespearan real stage actor once?
knotwork: Also aren'
t American Presidents more king in practice than, well, the Queen for example?
OneMiner: Ha! wouldn'
t go well for you. You'd be defending and I'm a good shot. :P
OneMiner: So, slavery. It's the natural conclusion, don'
t you think?
OneMiner: Ummm..... Don'
t know 'bout the 5th of Nov. Probably heard of it once.....
knotwork: yeah I was prety sure he didn'
t just get 10 months :)
knotwork: I wasn'
t even actually proven to sell them, its assumed anyone with two cartons of smokes must be a dealer, no proof needed
knotwork: Oh gosh I'm shocked, anarchists don'
t just *read* the anarchists cookbook some of them actually *cook*?!??! But to then capitalistically *sell* their cooking gasp that is *too* much!
mircea_popescu: anyway this is all academic, iirc there wasn'
t much volume anyway, like 1-2 btc a week or something
mircea_popescu: see, that's faulty. "we should do X, but we can'
t practically do X so we are doing Y instead"
smickles: i'm trying to work out that arb b/
t mpex and icbit
gribble: Error: Something in there wasn'
t a valid number.
BTC-Mining: Honestly, I don'
t expect anything that extreme, mircea.
mircea_popescu: still, you know, a raw db dump isn'
t the right way to do this.
smickles: mircea_popescu: you should sign and encrypt the db with the exchange key. that way, should it become necessary for the public to decrypt it, you wouldn'
t need to release your personal key
mircea_popescu: it doesn'
t look like so much but a lot of work went into this thing actually.
BTC-Mining: Well it's purely guesses and speculation on my part anyway. I don'
t really know anything about development and the need for dev boards.
smickles: oh, fing windows, i can'
t test it with /n's in mind
BTC-Mining: Wouldn'
t for example students benefit from having cheap dev board available?
BTC-Mining: But if you need to share it and use it all the time, a cheap one wouldn'
t be bad.
BTC-Mining: Well yeah. Renting is cheaper and you don'
t need to buy the whole hardware.
mircea_popescu: BTC-Mining i don'
t imagine parallella chips do so well at parallelizing "a variety" of tasks anyway
BTC-Mining: Would they be as performant for any task? Doesn'
t seem so. Aren'
t dev boards more like generic CPU for performing a larger variety of tasks?
BTC-Mining: I don'
t really know cheap tho. Just stating compared to standalone consumer CPU/GPU specs and price.
BTC-Mining: I keep off the programs I don'
t use often but can at least remember the names for the start menu/search box.
BTC-Mining: Assuming you can'
t remember the name for every thousand files you have...
BTC-Mining: Seriously... what good is an OS where I can'
t have a clusterfuck of icons on a desktop?
BTC-Mining: We wouldn'
t know how things work outside the simulation.
BTC-Mining: That... we basically can'
t prove if what we see is a simulation or not while testing and measuring from inside the simulation based on our knowledge of simulations.
jurov: i don'
t remember, it was months ago... but as you see, at least on decryption you don'
t have any parameter there
mircea_popescu: i'd much prefer something a page or two long but it doesn'
t seem possible
FabianB_: macau is like hong kong an SAR, so the chinese central gov shouldn'
t have much to do with it
mircea_popescu: (such as, for instance, if the company goes bankrupt you can'
t be clawbacked
FabianB_: mircea_popescu: yeah, that's cutting the bank fees, but introduces the risk of volatility, if i don'
t use option insurance
mircea_popescu: so baked in is a convenience cost too. people don'
t seem to be doing nearly enough of their own offering, much prefering the instant execution of bot offer.
mircea_popescu: an important point tho is that you don'
t HAVE to take the bot offers
jurov: i'm in a bit of a risky mood and don'
t think price will be back at 12 in 4 days, would create approriate options for you as a proper broker would... but my head is spinning already
mircea_popescu: you don'
t often see eur gaining 5% over usd in 24 hours
mircea_popescu: sgornick i guess you have a point. i recently switched my blog from romanian to english, so i kinda intend to make it the source for results. but i guess a link can'
t hurt anything.
FabianB_: price falling would be nice for me anyway, rising price would get me less btc if i don'
t hv options
FabianB_: but since fiat -> mtgox takes a while, i don'
t know how much fiat i have to send to mtgox
FabianB_: trying to figure out if it makes sense to buy options if i buy something with btc today (at a usd price), but in the end don'
t want to have less btc in my wallet, so buyin new btc few days later
smickles: well, it doesn'
t work so well if you run out of capital to hedge with :(
smickles: you wouldn'
t need to trust either, you should be able to encourage people to buy and sell your bot into a positon that makes btc when the market moves up down or sideways
mircea_popescu: what you're saying does make sense, in general. just, btc is yet too low volume and i don'
t trust half the quant analysis results
smickles: shouldn'
t it adjust prices to try to acheive the most time resistant neutral position?, that way you can take advantage of the imbalance in the bot's portfolio and offer better prices to the opposing positions and worse prices to the ones that add more risk to you
mircea_popescu: the plain stat is scheduled for an overhaul, but this won'
t happen for a while yet to give people who are using it atm to provide 3rd party services to migrate to statjson first
sgornick: mircea_popescu: Is the absense of recallable transaction history strategic, or just "haven'
t gotten to it"?
thestringpuller: cool, I won'
t flood it, i just want bot access because I can'
t be awake 24/7
jurov: as long as you don'
t expect to do X transactions per second or more, then it's possible
mircea_popescu: but i think a honest rundown of the thing is prolly the best policy. "here is what i can do, here is what i can'
t do. if you actually handle enough cash that you need what i can'
t do, talk to mpex directly and problem solved"
jurov: it's either snake oil or expense i can'
t afford (buying yubikeys or sending sms)
BTC-Mining: They don'
t own a lot, but they spend a lot of what they have. Those who have a lot stash it.
jurov: i hope you don'
t compress the backup prior to export.. heard about CRIME attack
