mircea_popescu: whichy, as he said then and i believed then, set him back
a few months of dayjob.
mircea_popescu: eh, at the time we're discussing nobody in bitcoin had enough money for
a spare sandwich.
assbot: You rated user slush on 20-Aug-2015, with

a dysfunctional legal system makes suicide bombing
a necessity. you don't like that, fix the fucking legal system.
punkman: or "I wonder what
a survey of Jews and Christians would show re: justification of drone bombings."
gribble: artifexd was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 21 weeks, 3 days, 2 hours, 58 minutes, and 11 seconds ago: <artifexd> I'm comfortable calling it
a review. Not just of what it is but what it was and how it got to where it is.

a combination of frame based memory management and gc, so you can have realtime guarantees.

a business development agreement on the side in which Pied Piper guarantees to spend that money in
a massive consumer campaign on Hooli’s ad platform."
pete_dushenski off for
a haircut and some exercise (fear not, the jewfro will survive)
mircea_popescu: the only problem with it is that it's
a profession, and you don't have
a clue how it works.
ben_vulpes: this is relevant to
a question i've been mulling of late. say
a new client shows up at my door, and i like their shit so much i want to buy
a chunk of it. how would i navigate both owning
a chunk of the new company and also my consulting company that would be building large swathes of the product? seems
a bit ethically and incentive-alignmently fraught.

pete_dushenski: it's the most meaningless source in the universe for
a journalist to cite
pete_dushenski: this is precisely what i mean by 'economists' of which noah smith is
a prime example
mircea_popescu: "Many economists believe that balance sheet losses are irrelevant for
a central bank, so they should play no role in policy."
pete_dushenski: "General Motors admitted wrongdoing and will pay
a $900-million penalty, but will avoid federal prosecution for its mishandling of an ignition-switch defect in some of its older cars." << even 'chosen ones' have to pay their tithes/baksheesh.
pete_dushenski: there are probably
a raft of 'polimedia' links on loper that do the same.
mircea_popescu: "Former heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson has joined forces with
a cryptocurrency firm to bring bitcoin ATMs to Las Vegas. The deal with Conexus and Bitcoin Direct is believed to be the first celebrity partnership in the bitcoin industry."
mircea_popescu: the company ? which the guy called "
a major breakthrough in finance" ?

☟︎ mircea_popescu: If you tumbled over the term interest, you probably read an outdated posted. Sorry to tell you but there is no interest on your bitUSD ... for legal reasons ... thus the community decided to call it
a yield :-). That yield is payed out every time you transfer bitUSD (that are older than 24h). This effectively is an interest, but has an other name. Check out the our info graphic about is:"
mircea_popescu: "BTS's consensus algorithm is DPOS, which is roughly that stakeholders vote on
a relatively small set of block validators (~100). All stakeholders care about is "sufficient" decentralization - block validators are quick to replace. These validators can be high-performance servers."
mircea_popescu: why would that be the case, the less liquid
a market is the more hope driven it is.
mircea_popescu: someone fucking explain to me what is the MEANING of "quarter billion mkt cap" over half
a million trade volume.
mircea_popescu: so since i'm now looking at the table of "crypto currencies", as if that's
a thing now (hey, why not you know, alternate centers of gravity - why not!!1), here's
a table :
mircea_popescu: so far it's more like
