decimation: also I wonder when someone decided that displays cannot come in 4:3 aspect ratio anymore
decimation: I miss my trinitron with its shadow-bars; the LCDs that replaced it just don't have the same dynamic range
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i was crashing.
decimation: I guess I'm using "our" for "our time", in as much as anyone can 'own' an epoch
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: in 2010 i concocted a variant of the test that could be carried out for approx. 50k USD, from scratch. schwartz answered that, in his estimation, the test would work to spec, but results would not be accepted by the field unless carried out on one of the two existing eotvos balances. one - adelberger's, one - chicom. ☟︎☟︎
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform ah i recall that.
DreadKnight: mircea_popescu, I'm glad actually, a NPO like mars one does more interesting stuff
mircea_popescu: i thot we were discussing teh science not teh politics.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform what i don't know is that ~everyone~ is pushing it.
midnightmagic: not to say I disagree with anything you guys are saying fundamentally of course
mircea_popescu: i'm one, what.
midnightmagic: the physics is not 1940s or prior. i have a friend whose PhD was literally pushing the boundaries of particle physics using results obtained from LHC
mircea_popescu: (i mean lisp-functions, not int blabla ()-functions)
mircea_popescu: i suspek you're just trying an underhanded approach to introduce the supremacy of engineers over theoretical physicitsts :D
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i disagree. see the short cathode tv.
mircea_popescu: and i'll venture to say that pretty much all the good philosophers similarly don't think in "concepts", whatever that is, but in a sort of equivalent of the wavefununction, except it has two major irreducible statements. one's systematic the other historical.
mircea_popescu: DreadKnight i was being sarcastique
DreadKnight: "rich" seems to be more of a state of mind; kinda like you're saying on your blog "pay up or this could wither and die" on your blog mircea_popescu, even though that's not the case, but I like the lesson you're teaching
the20year1: webirc will be the next one i try
HeySteve: yeah I didn't get that from testing it
HeySteve: DreadKnight, wasn't aware of that tradeoff, makes sense. that's the kind of mechanic I was suggesting, like you could use a lot of powerful unit abilities or summon a lot of creatures, but not both as a strategy
the20year1: because I tried it via pigin IRC and IRCCloud and neither worked
the20year1: alright, i guess i'll try it today
HeySteve: the20year1 I didn't, it just went away today. yesterday I could auth with alt gribble. didn't try restarting browser to wipe any saved data tho
HeySteve: hey DreadKnight. I had a thought about the game, would giving the creatures and "summoner" a single manapool work?
nagzter: I haven't seen that yet!
the20year1: and that's where I was getting that error (the you must be voiced to do this command) or whatever
the20year1: that's what I returned from assbot
the20year1: i can do it with gribble justfine
nagzter: I did custom icons for the wallets and designed the site
nagzter: That's what I do!
nagzter: DreadKnight: it could happen I suppose
mircea_popescu: from what i gather, your problem was that you were using an old, cached and therefore expred otp ?
nagzter: the graphics are slick if I do say so myself!
nagzter: I haven't played yet (I do loved turn based games!)
HeySteve: oh nagzter, I met you in Ancient Beast channel
nagzter: Now you know what most channels I chat in know ;)
nagzter: I'm an artist and designer and my husband made a coin
nagzter: I kind of collect a bunch of coins and do a little trading
nagzter: So I'm not a coder or a miner.
nagzter: funny I am heritage wise, my grandfather was 100% Russian Jew
nagzter: I always assumed the "nag" part gave it away
nagzter: means I skip around
nagzter: I'm not very chatty
mircea_popescu: i tried 35 too just to be sure.
mircea_popescu: what am i doing wrong.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla i just tried to put stuff in bash and it said 37 is not correct captcha
mircea_popescu: <HeySteve> ok. I know they shoot people in China << notrly, they have a van arrangement.
mircea_popescu: omfg i woke up with an article! and you people already wrote another here! I WILL NEVER CATCH UP NAO
HeySteve: ok. I know they shoot people in China, not sure billing the families for the bullet is an urban legend
asciilifeform: the one common anthropological thread i see here is that most governments insist on some 'national' symbolic meaning in their chosen means of execution. e.g., the french guillotine across all five 'republics' ☟︎☟︎
bitcoinpete: ThickAsThieves: neat. i'll pass it along :D
ThickAsThieves: <+bitcoinpete> ;;later tell ThickAsThieves i went to school with the carbon copy of the singer in the strange negotations video. if my buddy plays his cards right, that'll be him in 5-10 years /// David Bazan is probably a top 3 artist for me
jurov: that's the point, i expect f.* to be impossible to liquidate, unless there is a leak or "leak"
pigeons: well, the ipo lets them cash out their crap legally, i dont think they would want to jeopardize that, they will make enough of a killing on an ipo
punkman: I'd expect insiders might be keen to buy DERPs when on the verge of IPO
pigeons: i imagine they can still run passthroughs if they choose, like they did with DICE
pigeons: i dont know how you are determining "implicit NAV" the value was based on dividends paid from earnings from bets, which greatly fluctuated
jurov: i hope not, but...
FabianB: as for s.nsa or s.bbet i agree it's a little odd that it's not traded more actively, and why ppl mostly buy at IPO and not later
jurov: i'm just saying it's much bigger risk than bitbet
jurov: with D.BSTP/F.DERP, i can buy more than 10BTC
jurov: and i can always add something to No side
jurov: on bitbet, if i place 10btc on Yes and advertise the bet, there is a chance someone props up the other side
jurov: i can buy d.* or f.derp and then wait for months for positive or negative hype to cause someone to buy my shares at better price
jurov: i thought DERPs might be attractive... but it hinges on people putting bitcoins in for indeterminate time,
bitcoinpete: mircea_popescu: there's very little doubt in my mind that if i were in the sort of situation most folk over there enjoy, i'd simply be shooting people. << and yet taleb survives in nyc just fine
bitcoinpete: mircea_popescu: i propose a new highschool charter. it teaches kids nothing, but smacks them every time they use "going to" << and "get/got"
bitcoinpete: ;;later tell ThickAsThieves i went to school with the carbon copy of the singer in the strange negotations video. if my buddy plays his cards right, that'll be him in 5-10 years
FabianB: but of course that's only good for investors, not so good for brokers i guess (less hektik trading happening)
thestringpuller: I like the way you think FabianB
chetty: <artifexd> chetty: I very much enjoyed that heuristics doc. Thank you.// yeah I am reading a little at atime, much food for thought
artifexd: chetty: I very much enjoyed that heuristics doc. Thank you.
benkay: later i learned to counter with "good hustle, next sucker"
benkay: i always got out of it by smiling wryly, wiggling my eyebrows and complimenting them on their hustle
DreadKnight: benkay, need to spend a few more days learning about socks / dividends / shares / listing so I can talk the talk properly and write some documentation as well (which is long time due)
DreadKnight: I'm more into getting a listing though and learning the related stuff
benkay: i've made the odd trade yeah
DreadKnight: benkay, when I said online platforms I meant websites with lots of users that interact with the website; MPEx is not like facebook / fiverr / bitcointalk forum
DreadKnight: (I bought the hdd from a 3rd party through the website, from the website owners)
DreadKnight: I bought a hdd from an online store, a romanian ebay clone once and I got scammed as it was old and had bad sectors, was it the website's fault? my fault more likely, but there was a reputation system so I should had been more careful, also the used got banned quickly
DreadKnight: I got woken by turkish music and manele yesterday, those make liturgical music sound like masterpieces in comparison
punkman: I used to hate it but I guess there's worse thing to be woken up by
phish: how can i register for wot?
Namworld: What's wrong with windows? I hardly ever get any issue whatsoever. If it gave me any problem, I'd switch. Runs all I need, plus runs games easily. Not like anything critical is going on on that machine.
Namworld: That, and it's always nice to know what people think. I rarely use any negative language toward anyone, but that's just me. But I'd be the last one to say people shouldn't say this or that to anyone.
DreadKnight: I still don't get what I need
DreadKnight: ok seriously, how do I list gpg key id? xD
DreadKnight: got ps3 and I don't even touch it for a long time now
DreadKnight: using linux for about 10 years yet I suffered a lot from being addicted to gaming
thestringpuller: i just pretend everyone is white and it's all good.
thestringpuller: like colbert I am color blind
thestringpuller: LOL. I use all OS'es
benkay: i'm going to make a stab-you-through-the-internet for everything
thestringpuller: I'm going to make a Windows tile for Bitcoin.
kuzetsa: I think I need to go encrypt a sandwich, brb
thestringpuller: then I will call it futile!!!
DreadKnight: how to I list gpg key id's btw? using shell/terminal
benkay: it's futile, i tell ya.
thestringpuller: i encrypt all my paper wallets with triple GPG
