The20YearIRCloud:
I've never met a markov chain that put reasonable responses together
mthreat:
i have a theory that everyone is a markov chain, but some of us are larger chains than others
The20YearIRCloud: Nope,
i'm not oldschool anything
I can think of, unless you're into ww2 stuff :D
Vexual:
i thought you were an olschool accountant
The20YearIRCloud: One house
I worked with sold at $155k and was over 6,000 finished square feet, came with a full granite wet bar in the basement with a walking sauna
The20YearIRCloud: Most people
I've talked to don't have the cash outlay to fix say a $4k roof when the time comes, and they make the choice of renting so someone else has to deal with it.
The20YearIRCloud: On top of that,
i've had to make the choice between quick repairs and losing them to other firms, and giving them all the work they can handle at a slower pace. They prefer working for me over other crews, but in order to speed up the rehab time,
I have to hire more people. The more people
I hire without a big budget, the higher the chance of regular layoffs
The20YearIRCloud: Even though
I explained to them it creates liability on my end because unless what
I say goes through atty review, it opens the company up to liability.
Vexual: if
i was an invextor id ask when the growth might arrive
The20YearIRCloud: None do, however in this case
I had a investor complain because
I wasn't addressing the concerns from those individuals
peterl:
I don't think the RENT forum complaints come from investors
The20YearIRCloud: At least ,
I think that's what they were about, one notable one was my choice of director for the HK corporation we have, and the other was complaints about a website
I started 5 years ago
The20YearIRCloud: mircea_popescu: that
I haven't been responding recently to all the accusations against myself and or the choices
I've made
mircea_popescu: so when
i release this latest letter from stan,
i think some people's brains will pop.
The20YearIRCloud: Pretty good, no complaints, everyone was excited about the news, not happy about the complaint or two
I got on the forum afterwards, but then
I can't please everyone it seems
peterl: ok,
I'll keep digging through the logs some more
nam-shub:
I know a guy who can assemble random financial transactions for consumption by the accounting community. more or less in an automated fashion. (There was a discussion prior about a b-a accountant.)
nam-shub:
I know a guy that sends numbers to accountants all day -- he desperately wants more bitcoin
mircea_popescu: <mike_c> srsly
i would kick in for an offical b-a accountant. <<< me too. sadly...
mike_c: srsly
i would kick in for an offical b-a accountant.
mircea_popescu: "a while back
i finally figured out what makes a good relationship." << from, of course, reddit.
Vexual: Oh, Daddy,
I thought it was an irish thing
mircea_popescu: "how you doing ? " "busy" "so come over" "oh baby
i can't, gotta drop off the kid to ballet class" "so drop her off to her ballet class and come over for a ballet class of your own" "mmmmmmm okay"
dignork: thestringpuller: acquired taste
i suppose
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: No,
I'm takling the inflamed swollen red thing above the second D in Daddy.
mike_c: you can't tell me to shaddup.
i do what
i want!
kakobrekla: ah,
i was thinking whole mpif including my small part.
ben_vulpes: this leads to an interesting problem for the btc-denominated tech company manager: how do
i spend as little as possible on ongoing development while still keeping things up and moving forwards?
mike_c: well,
i guess making dust for mpif was better than losing dust for mpif.
mircea_popescu: f.mpif if making very little on its outlay, but
i think it'll stick supporting wol for a while longer.
mircea_popescu: s.wol is carrying a lot of capital, but
i think rather than pay dividends it's probably wider to just hold on to it for a little.
mircea_popescu:
i'd rather he survives into an old old age so we can showtrial him and send him to prison pinochet style.
mircea_popescu: <ben_vulpes> smorgasbord of cultural touchpoints is the best some people can do! < < actually
i think it's how you get the top marks in women's colleges.
mircea_popescu: <ben_vulpes> "In an ideal world, Kim Kardashian would have spent her life getting sport-fucked anonymously by hip-hop stars in some Bel Air mansion, ran a salon, and either died of a coke overdose or Botox poisoning." << this "ideal" world is actually the world.
i dunno what this new shit the kids got going post 2000 is supposed to be, but it ain';t a world in *any* sense
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves> my name in Dota 2 is Bitcoin-Assets and
I killed an opponent named Doge << lol let the permanent record reflect this. in duplicate.
dignork:
i'm doing it for a friend, but all this spec looks overcomplicated as shit, and thus probably buggy exploitable
thestringpuller: dignork: the firm
I work for is doing SAML integration too
thestringpuller: and also
I am an asthmatic with bad allergies.
i have a feeling when
I step off the plane
I'll breathe like
I've never breathed before!
thestringpuller: that shit is fucking dope to me.
i just love the rain man,
i dunno
thestringpuller: seattle is dope man.
I love climates that are rainy all the fucking time
thestringpuller: For some reason
I think those two slang terms are related on some level.
assbot: Everyone
I know is brokenhearted. | Zenarchery
ThickAsThieves: my name in Dota 2 is Bitcoin-Assets and
I killed an opponent named Doge
assbot:
I Love the Smell of Crony Capitalism in the Morning
ben_vulpes: somehow
i suspect david joseph thinks that money is his and he'll be extremely reluctant to let any of it slip his grasp.
ben_vulpes: <ThickAsThieves>
i saw this picture of a bunch of Canadian red/white maple leaf ATMs form Cavirtex,
I wonder if maybe those stockholders from Havelock might get something something outta things in the end... << a) cavirtex is desperate for profit b) doubtful havelock holders are going to get anything as they've been delisted, right?

justusranvier:
I don't either, actually. But they are very interested in being bought out. Suppose the company gets purchased by a bank. What will the new owners be interested in doing with that huge pile of customer deposits?
mike_c: justusranvier:
i don't believe coinbase has a vested interest in large scale price manipulation. investor-mania would be great for their customer acquisition.
mike_c:
i have a gut feel about why you are right, but
I'd love to hear you expound on it a bit. If nefarious forces are shoveling money at BTC to suppress price, why will this fail? bitcoin is currently small. you think they just won't be able to keep it up and eventually price will explode?
mircea_popescu: justusranvier sorry
i just responded to teh last line.
i see my error now :D
justusranvier: "Since
I have come into office, there’s almost no economic metric by which you couldn’t say that the US economy is better and that corporate bottom lines are better, because we control the metrics and we make them say whatever we want"
ThickAsThieves: “They always complain about regulation. That’s their job. Let’s look at the track record. Let’s look at the facts. Since
I have come into office, there’s almost no economic metric by which you couldn’t say that the US economy is better and that corporate bottom lines are better. None." ~ o'bama
pete_dushenski:
i'm off to go play some badminton and pedal my bike around town. later!
chetty: hahaha
I been preaching that one (or similar) for a while, no one wants to give up finger pointing
pete_dushenski: not that
i give two fucks about that mess. israel, if anywhere, should be in south america
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: well
i got a condition where
i can't differentiate canadian settlements. << maybe we shouldn't have colour-coded them...
pete_dushenski: ben_vulpes: maybe
i'm just lazy and stupid. that's always possible. << so humble.
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes meh green/browns << so mp wasn't kidding!
i never know sometimes...
pete_dushenski: ;;later tell ben_vulpes oo new sizes eh?
i see that survant james has already found there way into the line-up :D
chetty:
I guess they accidentally do right sometimes
chetty:
I generally consider it a useful mental exercise to consider the possible extremes
ThickAsThieves: yes
i agree bitcoin is a great tool, but it's hard for people to resist the urge to close their eyes and blink into a magical future
