STRML: And we're the only derivs exchange that doesn't do socialized losses. It takes
a far different approach to guarantee something like that
mircea_popescu: STRML do you understand the space between
a claim and
a fact ? anyone can say that. in fact, people tend to. this doesn't correlate with anything substantial.
STRML: I believe we're
a breath of fresh air in the derivatives space, which is dominated by players who barely understand derivatives to begin with
mircea_popescu: so Jeong threw some money , which is what he does,
a sicrit expert wrote "the engine" and an eager black guy class of 2008 wants to play the danny brewster.
STRML: To be clear, that was
a joke; we use multisig internally, it is not possible for our unnamed cofounder to cut and run
nubbins`: engraving/keycutting/lasering is
a popular combo
STRML: We are
a derivatives exchange for investors and speculators who are serious about the products they trade. I could give you the whole pitch but I don't want to spam the channel :)
nubbins`: i meant the craft of lasering things, perhaps in
a booth at the mall
mircea_popescu: nubbins` not by heart, but yes, you can probably buy
a girl in the shadier part of town for less.
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller not much need for that to be
a rumour. obviousness is obvious, i dun think anyone doesn't know they are.
nubbins`: you know how much
a 9/16" drill bit costs?
nubbins`: odd imperial sizes are
a terrible thing
mircea_popescu: it's not fraud to say you're "
a master artisan". it'd have been
a fraud had it been
a regulated profession.
mircea_popescu: nubbins` tbh i think it's forcing
a point. anyone buying whatever on puffery is stuck.
mircea_popescu: nubbins` i dun think anyone who
a) isn't mentally retarded and b) looked at any item more than cursorily failed to realise it's
a computer etch.
mircea_popescu: Yes,
a MASTER CARVER who normally earns $450 (or is it $800 (or is it $3,000)) per hour is willing to make Butterfly Labs dildos for $18/hr.
mircea_popescu: what's next, bifinex is
a lulzy scamfest and btcjam loses 30% of your moneyz every coupla quarters ?
BingoBoingo: Well somewhere I think someone brought up
a govt agent suspecting Fatty was also Thermos
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo: Wait so Mark did the Gox, Silk Road, GLBSE, and Bitcointalk scams? <<< the explanation is quite pedestrian. there's
a bunch of fuctards who imagine they're "the coimmunity" notwithstanding they have no money and no political importance. because hey, they FEEL like they should matter. these derps ineffectually tried to prop up mtgox. they failed, but they don't wish to confront the why there, so instead the
Adlai: "Why so serious? Let us put
a smile on that face of yours, and turn
a 404 into
a 503 today!"
BingoBoingo: Well of course. They probably don't have
a giant folder with the whole SEC file. I wouldn't put it past them to have
a friend who happens to be
a government secretary somewhere.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla of course my only takeaway is that the price is doing pretty well at strangling coinbase. lucky them that they managed
a refinance. curious if bitpay announces anything soon.
thestringpuller: random: is there
a reason "crowd source" projects usually are of mediocre quality?
mircea_popescu: (Oh, and journalctl goes out of its way to set up this behavior. Not by passing command line arguments to less, because that would be too obvious (you might spot it in
a ps listing, for example); instead it mangles $LESS to effectively add the '-S' option, among other things.)
mircea_popescu: "The merely bad experience is that as
a result of this I had occasion to use journalctl (I normally don't). More specifically, I had occasion to use 'journalctl -l', because of course if you're going to make
a bug report you want to give full messages. Unfortunately, 'journalctl -l does not actually show you the full message."

Adlai: sounds like
a malamanteau of "her" and "sir"
Adlai encountered
a new one yesterday, "zir"
mircea_popescu: to the grief of women actually involved with computers. whoi aren't
a market for the niggers, because they're smart and few, which makes it too expensive.
Adlai: it was hilarious at the time, being
a "real warrior" myself, but siding with the "cyber warrior" camp :D
mircea_popescu: that's
a dangerous path to take. because "screw you bitch, i can sit in
a chair and fly
a desk too."
Adlai: and then recants this statement once all the other highups flip
a shit
Adlai: some highup officer says that
a single cyber warrior can be more valuable to the country than hundreds [of thousands] of regular warriors
mircea_popescu: mats calling it "
a cyber missile" is
a good joke. calling some beheadings "
a new hairstyle" is
a bad joke. gotta keep track!
mats: "Australia has flown 144 sorties on Islamic State extremists, but it's believed IS had already struck first, launching
a cyber-missile on Australian computer systems."
mircea_popescu: i guess it's time for cazalla to get
a ten page wikipedia article in all teh languages.
nubbins`: actually, scratch that. pm me details about this work of yours when you've got money in-hand and
a design ready to go. there's really no need to update me before that point :P
mircea_popescu: but in any case, i'd love to see the math by which russia produces oil at
a profit when it's $25
a barrel.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform re orlov : my very biased opinion is that "look,
a collection of interesting facts and assorted insanities. the facts i recall reading coupla weeks ago in trilema."
mircea_popescu: "And without
a functioning industrial economy crude oil would be reclassified as toxic waste. But that is still two or three decades off in the future."
danielpbarron: idk if it matters since it doesn't sound like there is
a need to translate from portugese to english, but i know
a guy fluent in both languages
assbot: Successfully added

assbot: OK /CoinFireBlog I've made sure that GAW article is saved on wayback machine, and I've kept
a copy as well. Complete BS.
nubbins`: "If he have
a more powerful laser he could have cut the edge more nicely."
danielpbarron: "I think its perfectly usable for people who are comfortable with bitcoin, but aren't developers or are tech-savvy. You could crowdfund, you know, me and my friends go to
a concert and we've got to 'group buy' concert tickets, or group buy
a laser tag day or something." Hearn on his decentralized kickstarter turd
davout: is there
a particular reason?
BingoBoingo: Elio19: You msg assbot !up now, and it gives you
a blob to decrypt now
fluffypony: no, you have to have
a trust relationship with assbot
punkman: and he's just wearing
a fat suit
davout: "Similarly, SA Der-Yeghiayan also noticed that
a discussion forum known as “bitcointalk.org” – which SA Der-Yeghiayan believed, based on information from
a “confidential informant,” was operated by Mr. Karpeles" <<< whose name starts with 'they' and ends with 'mos'
davout: "Thus, SA Der-Yeghiayan had noted that
a website registered to Mr. Karpeles had
a “wiki” page on it (i.e., an FAQ page) that was created using the same version of “wiki” software – “Mediawiki” – used to create the “wiki” page on the Silk Road website."
davout:
a pro copypastar is not me
davout: along with
a false address included in the contact information used to
davout: file recovered from the defendant’s computer, within
a folder marked “aliaces” [sic]
davout: laptop subsequent to his arrest, that name is known to be an alias used by the defendant. Specifically,
a mircea_popescu: mats dude,
a piece about one kevin poulsen featuring
a large picture of said kevin poulsen (who looks like
a dork) discussing kevin poulsen and stuff to do with kevin poulsen.
BingoBoingo: I simply lack the nuances of the language to do
a great portugese translation. Research would be incredibly welcome though.
felipelalli: BingoBoingo: thank you, but I was already discouraged enough. I'll think of
a way to contribute, I loved the style of qntra.net - and would like to see some original research on it. Do not know why it fascinates me, but the amount of misinformation in the world of bitcoin is incredible, it's hard to trust something without having checked ourselves.
BingoBoingo: felipelalli: but maybe you are right, spend money on it can be waste of money. maybe
a simple survey can give me the results I need. << Prolly do it in the way that keeps your expenses on this down.
mircea_popescu: coderwill it's not entirely clear what you mean by "exchange", but in any case : what you're looking for has been covered extensively by mpoe-pr on the forum, back in the early days when the sort of nonsense was
a lot more prevalent/
coderwill: Cool, I remember
a few weeks ago arriving on it
a couple of months ago - I think Wences Cesares of Xapo mentioned it on Twitter.
mats: > Damn hackers! I want to hack them all (my stepdad once set
a virus to this dork that was bragging bout his hacking skills, the virus causes your computer to wipe itself cleab each time it turns on or off! Dont worry, he only sent it to that one guy)
TheNewDeal: mp, what is the email address that would have sent out
a token for trilema?
mircea_popescu: it's ludicrous as
a concept. showing that these idiots posing as "leaders" have the intellectual penetration of frogs.
mircea_popescu: except, how the fuck will that work ? here's
a broken c program, make
a basic version of it and then try to enforce it
assbot: Logged on 21-10-2014 01:30:35; asciilifeform: 'As progressively dumber programmers build progressively more complex systems we will see more of this kind of attempt to paper over coding mistakes with lawyers, sanctions, policies, and laws. Hollywood and the RIAA are usually the most successful at getting the government to do their bidding. Thus I predict that one day Disney will have
a Web site where you can buy access to any of their movies.
mircea_popescu: this entire "forget how the machines work we'll make
a legal representaton of how they SHOULD work and then hold you to respect that whether you knew it or not" is such nonsense.
mats: From the pre-close panel at Shmoocon yesterday: "We used to be smarter than the Feds, it used to be
a joke, how dumb they are. The NSA and FBI have
a lot of smart people working for them now, I think it may be the other way around these days."
mircea_popescu: felipelalli: I want to hire
a statistical company to make
a distributed properly research. << there's perhaps better uses to that capital, whatever you'd be spending. seeing how the value of asnwering the "what does brazil think" on whatever topic isn't really that great. i guess it could be
a useful demonstration of methodology etc, but that needs some sort of
a plan, won't do much as just
a shot in the dark.
mats: o, hes doing
a reenlistment ceremony to reup his contract
mircea_popescu: felipelalli: But I want to write it in Portuguese to someone translate it to me to English, and I make the final review just to see if anything was misundertood. << this is
a non-starter. the person doing the translation can just write their own stuff directly. you're not famous or anything, why'd you imagine someone'd be bothered translating you specifically ?
mircea_popescu: mike_c: i believe english is strongly encouraged. from what I remember when the guy wanting to write in italian showed up. << well, nobody speaks italian. brazil speaks portuguese. i don't directly see
a problem with it, if the coverage's any good.
gribble: The20YearIRCloud was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 6 weeks, 0 days, 5 hours, 5 minutes, and 46 seconds ago: <The20YearIRCloud> Big thing has been to have em look over all the financial documents as we're filing taxes for 2014 next month and I didn't want to submit till they had
a good idea of it.
mats: this is the most touching moment ive witnessed in #b-
a mats: not to say there wouldn't be
a valid use case. just, what's the point?
mike_c: i'll give mats
a brazilian hugs
mats: felipelalli: def
a waste. what's software gonna do that you can't replicate by hand?
felipelalli: but maybe you are right, spend money on it can be waste of money. maybe
a simple survey can give me the results I need.
kakobrekla: felipelalli come up with
a draft and show it to qntra people is your best bet
mats:
a what? >30 s'all you need
