Duffer1: i appreciate that, i'm glad i'm not dead too :)
Vexual: and youre all like meah wait till i finish this blunt
Duffer1: it was quite painful, and i refused pain meds until the ct scan results came back and the dr said "your appendix is all messed up, we're transfering you to a different hospital, ambulance is en route, take pain meds now"
Vexual: can i kick you in the nuts?
Duffer1: nope, i got very lucky, it ruptured, but didn't get infected
Duffer1: appendectomy last week, i was pretty swollen
Vexual: i assume thats a good thing
RagnarDanneskjol: afraid I cant be too interactive tonight - I'm kinda in the middle of a few things and terribly behind schedule
Vexual: i was hoping this analysis might be interactive
RagnarDanneskjol: go right ahead, I just lurk here
Vexual: well i tought i might give an example of some concepts i garner from that collectionfor your further thought
Vexual: if i might
RagnarDanneskjol: its relatively comprehensible cf. to a lot of academic financial dissertations I come across. I learn more about bitcoin from these sources than i would any "analyst" in the btc space
RagnarDanneskjol: at different time horizons." - I only got through the first essay. " Financial assets prices are not always in perfect equi- librium and deviate from their fundamental values. The dramatic rise and fall of the stock market raises concern about the rationality of sudden changes in stock valu- ations. The mispricing of assets contributes to financial crises, which can damage the overall
Vexual: personally, i prefer a popescuist view; he who can send owns
Vexual: i think you are right, but many of the biggest ethical questions arise where dna meets patent law
Vexual: roundup resistant ganja? i think someones trolling
xmj: and I'll chucklingly watch.
xmj: alright, so I found this:
usagi: I warned him about getting in with the wrong crowd. Guess he didn't know who his friends were
usagi: I guess terra is finally dead then.
usagi: I didn't know the terrahash failure was so spectacular
usagi: I should have been looking at that bet 8 months ago heh
usagi: http://bitbet.us/bet/635/1btc-10-000-usd/ This bet pays about 1.4% per month, and if im wrong, I still win
usagi: But I'm still looking
usagi: Actually I'll go take a look at the site now
TheNewDeal: I'm in the business of scouting out good bets and reselling them
usagi: Yeah I made a little on bitbet, I should probably take a look at that site again soon
TheNewDeal: i've got a good offer for you
usagi: There isn't much available right now. I've been chatting with you recently. thought I'd ask
usagi: Dunno, looking for investment options I guess
usagi: Ahh, just an investor I see
usagi: Anduck's contract was separate from kakobreklas. I think you can understand that.
usagi: But a lot of the contracts had NDA's at the customer's request so I don't usually talk about particulars
usagi: TheNewDeal yesterday you said I told you I was insuring people (kakobrekla) against glbse defaults. I didn't say that, kako's contract was for pirate
decimation: yeah I believe. every security decision is full of trade-offs
TheNewDeal: I'm naive here - not sure how blockchain.info runs their taint
TheNewDeal: please do expalin bb. I've read the trilema article before
TheNewDeal: how does their taint analysis work? maybe that's something kind of like what I'm looking for. Some 2nd and 3rd level addresses that have bumped into contact with a particular address
decimation: part of the problem with usg employee wages is that congress has held them fixed for several years now I think
decimation: asciilifeform: I think it's true that whatever you define "living wage" in the bezzle-world, the number has been steadying going up over the years
asciilifeform: depends, i suppose, on what you'd call 'living.'
asciilifeform: of the roughly two dozen staff in my lab, there were, i think, at most two u.s. born folks at any given time.
decimation: kinda like you can only rent a miner for more than its expected bitcoin mining return, I suspect most 'employees' of usg work for less than a 'living wage'
decimation: I suspect most actual work at usg is done by contractors anyway
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: i didn't make this bedrock, i just drill through it
decimation: yeah I would buy that. traditionally 'contractors' lard their billable rates to compensate for this burden
RagnarDanneskjol: i don't know for certain, just have to use all these benefits comparison resources for work and it appears dental/vision is always heavily discounted for gummint folk. and yes, they get the pretax bennies too
decimation: I guess if by "subsidized" you mean "group purchase price" then yeah
decimation: although I think they pay pre-tax money
decimation: I think health benefits are, but dental and vision are not
decimation: mircea_popescu: minor nitpick - I don't think USG employees get dental actually: http://www.benefits.gov/benefits/benefit-details/4587 "Dental and Vision benefits are available to eligible Federal and Postal employees, retirees, and their eligible family members on an enrollee-pay-all basis."
ben_vulpes: i'm not even as funny as a markov chain
ben_vulpes: i think vexual has a higher bash score than i
gribble: dexX7 was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 9 weeks, 5 days, 6 hours, 23 minutes, and 33 seconds ago: <dexX7> i think i can up myself
mod6: OMFG I DID IT!
ben_vulpes: ;;later tell mike_c all for you baby. took two hours as i refactored the whole way login works. let me know if stupid shit happens around logins.
HeySteve: I have updated my game thread if anyone feels like splashing out with some testnet coins
ben_vulpes: why do i even bother...
mircea_popescu: i duinno that he did ever make any money, i highyl doubt it. he did go to some personal trouble to try and cover for the various potholes he made, at some point even selling (or claiming to ?) his guitar
BingoBoingo: TheNewDeal> what was most annoying was he PMed me after I spoke with him here. Over the next hour or so he tried to convince me of his smashing businesses successes, and the danger of healthy skepticism << This is the reason for his neg rating.

fluffypony: TheNewDeal: I think the hard G sounds better if it's describing a bird :-P
fluffypony: TheNewDeal: some dude on Fiverr, I wrote the script and it cost me a whole $5 :-P
fluffypony: [2014-08-17T17:03:50+0200] <usagi> Fluffypony are you aware that I have actually been offered business as a result of you targeting me?
fluffypony: I linked that video to him in -otc the other day
fluffypony: I'm still waiting for someone to review my film
TheNewDeal: I'm just trying to piece usagi's relevancy in the mix
TheNewDeal: he told me he is still making payments to people to this date... I think it was for bmf ?
mircea_popescu: i know it looks impossible in retrospect, but it was the fact at the time.
gribble: You rated user usagi on Tue Apr 15 13:37:58 2014, with a rating of 1, and supplied these additional notes: Had a 1140 btc contract with usagi which entitled me to said amount on 2012-08-26. The final payment was done 2013-04-27, totaling 995 btc. The sum was 145 btc short but I agreed to let it slide because of distress on the market of the underlying 'securities' and rapid btc market (1 more message)
TheNewDeal: perhaps I'm reading this wrong
mircea_popescu: i don't think there's been a block with a transaction in it since may.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu> i dun think atc ever dropped two digits sort of shit. << You forget before the civilized times ATC would trade at ~500 and 100 satoshis in the same hour
TheNewDeal: I'm just talking about the mining
mircea_popescu: i dun think atc ever dropped two digits sort of shit.
