assbot: Logged on 11-08-2014 00:24:04; mircea_popescu: Jason the idea is to expand current bitcoin-assets functionality with
a register of deeds.
assbot: Logged on 14-06-2014 11:59:24; mircea_popescu: so based on mike_c's discussion last night, i think i have
a very good addition to b-
a kako. it'd go like this :
adlai: xiando: eyeballing correlations is nice, but it's just eyeballing... then again, this is just my kneejerk distrust of eyeballs rather than any concrete reason to suspect there's
a problem with this approach
xiando: adlai: You see it clearly on bfxdata, like 2 hours ago there was
a 1600 BTC trade where you clearly see both USD and BTC margin take spikes
adlai tried making
a python joke
gernika: Is there
a seminal discussion on deeds/deedbot I can read up on?
adlai: this is not the attitude that put
a robot on mars
mircea_popescu: punkman: I've always thought the drainholes under keyboard in Lenovo machines were
a great idea, haven't had
a chance to test it though <<< this is the train of thought that ends up with keyboard rats.
adlai: well odin probably does, and
a handful of grunts handling the sweaty work
adlai: satoshi was
a visionary artist, not an engineer
adlai: best mistranslation I've seen recently was
a cop booking
a swiss friend for rear-ending another car in massachusets
mircea_popescu: also this is why english is the international language whereas russian is not : english allows two parties to reach
a "mutual conclusion" which they can both live with.
mircea_popescu: adlai: "The system, akin to an X-ray machine for the stock market" Here we see the useless metaphor in its natural habitat,
a NYtimes article << lol, quite. at least salon and the rest of the sew crowd make their metaphores pointedly wrong, rather than useless.
mircea_popescu: anyway, anyone willing to work with an incredibly intricately documented ad-hoc algol is more than welcome to be
a lawyer. all it takes really.
mircea_popescu: but i like how bounce's legal mind works. seriously, contrary to all the pretense of the entrenched "profession" to the contrary, being
a lawyer is EXACTLY being
a coder, nothing different at all, let alone substantially different is taught in law school. the ONLY difference is that the hardware is very limited and the api incredibly old and terribly buggy.
thickasthieves: well nothing to review, it's not
a service to the people, it's
a service to the gov
mats_cd03: doing two at once seems like
a lot of work
mircea_popescu: mats_cd03 no, not that one. the one where you kiss
a girl while the other sucks you off.
mats_cd03: i try to discretely offer
a glass of water
mats_cd03: until now, i had never considered DPing
a woman with
a 3D print of my own dong
adlai: this is more
a challenge of neuroscience and plastic surgery
thickasthieves: you can have
a strap-on of ur own dick to do both holes
adlai: you can't just print
a cock and start waving it around like
a dildo
bounce: we'd be back with the whole eugenics problem, only with
a different face on it
ben_vulpes:
a fact conveniently overlooked by populist health preachers.
ben_vulpes: it's all
a matter of demand, the tooling is out there.
mircea_popescu: thickasthieves i had
a bet with
a younger, entrepreneur friend, which went that if automatic "make clone of your own penis" and "test yourself for all diseases" kits appear at the same time, the former'll oversell the latter.
ben_vulpes: but i been out of the atoms biz for
a while now.
adlai: well, semi fab is using chemicals to manufacture
a physical design
adlai: well i did notice at one point that squeezing my asshole while pooping could theoretically sculpt the resulting turd, kinda like
a lathe
ben_vulpes: 30 btc and
a testing framework for 0.5.3
mircea_popescu: speaking of which, i have
a metal hand press, and
a pile of oranges. so im going to make myself some freshly squeezed orange juice and douse it in the local cognac.
thickasthieves: funny story, an ex client, against my advice, moved to
a notoriously bad (cheap) web guy,
mircea_popescu: because i never noticed as many flaws an dproblems in
a woman as when sitting with
a coupla camhos watching her.
bounce: it's
a good place to sit, business model-wise.
mircea_popescu: bounce just
a little defensive, because not erryday gets to discuss his headpenis, and in public to boot!
thickasthieves: this often puts my in either
a devils advocate position, or stranded
mircea_popescu: it's
a matter of methodology not of scope. the how, not the what.
mircea_popescu: thickasthieves obviously i can appreciate thinking is
a process, and one has to make sense of one's [intellectual] history, etc.
thickasthieves: as i knew i was about to explain something as i thought it, but i also knew it was
a concept in my head from the past but which i have never articulated in words
mircea_popescu: but the particular definition you gave indicates to the compiler, were the compiler human, that
a) you hadn't considered it before using it and b) as defined prolly doesn't serve you in any sense.
adlai: spouting bullshit is OK, as long as you curate it
a bit better than just letting assbot dump it all in
a text file
thickasthieves: i'm not commenting on whether its just
a shared delusion
mircea_popescu: whereas for all you know in bitcoin twelve whales get together in
a secret chan somehwere and that's how the price moves ?
mircea_popescu: not to be
a parade pisser, but there's problems lurking.
mircea_popescu: everyone does want to know the price, but
a speshal few know you wouldn't know anyway.
thickasthieves:
a live aggragate chart with customizable tickboxes for exchanges
thickasthieves: and capable of serving such
a chart on
a website like bitcoinwisdom?
thickasthieves: punkman, are you capable of turning that into something that can output
a custom file to feed into Metatrader or such?
thickasthieves: i also would like (and surely others would to)
a cumalitive customizable chart for bitcoin exchanges
thickasthieves: i think i do have
a writeup started somewhere with examples, etc
mircea_popescu: "oh, everything is on wikipedia" is not curation. why the fuck would i want google to return
a wikipedia result in the first place, what, as if i don't know they probably have
a shitty article sort-of talking around topic x ?
thickasthieves: and would be smart to move harder in the curation direction in the face of such
a service
punkman: I am also considering making the bot spit out expiry/revocations in
a diff channel
mircea_popescu: thickasthieves i suspect this is like the "myspace, music industry killer" idea
a decade ago. yeah, it'd work, if people didn't suck. people do suck, and as
a result, myspace dies.
punkman: jurov, I think I could publish
a pubring that gets updated
a couple times
a day
thickasthieves: my search idea could combine with
a distributed one, have all ranking factors be open and weightable by the user

mircea_popescu:
a distributed replacement for google might be
a pretty damned good idea
thickasthieves: it's
a well written speech in that its general enough any individual can map it onto his own perspectives
thickasthieves: he does almost sound like he's gonna pitch Bitcoin for
a minute
thickasthieves: his deal was, i'll make you
a logo, and you'll take it as is
thickasthieves: it's nearly impossible to get
a client to accept stuff like this thi

TomServo: "Russia favors
a conservative approach to introducing innovations into the social order, but is not opposed to investigating and discussing such innovations, to see if introducing any of them might be justified." << seems like an odd point to wedge in amongst the rest.
punkman: thickasthieves: wasn't kraken doing that for
a while?
thickasthieves: can
a US exchange run unregulated by the US if it only serves non-US customers?
thickasthieves: " Whether one is
a US-based exchange or not doesn't decide whether one needs to register. The question is whether
a company has clients in the US or not. If so, they are subject to regulations of that jurisdiction."
jurov: <asciilifeform> [20141030 00:13] that thing's running on what,
a commodore64? << seeing kako's problems, I put
a CDN in outright in front of it
punkman: well maybe you bought
a pack for 10k btc long ago

nubbins`: it's like having
a part-time job where you get paid to not show up
punkman: jurov: yeah and there's
a dozen other similar libraries too
nubbins`: yeah, paste yr code, let's take
a peek
punkman: I've always thought the drainholes under keyboard in Lenovo machines were
a great idea, haven't had
a chance to test it though
nubbins`: <undata> beer meanwhile, keyboards <<< my last laptop drank
a beer and died. current one drank
a coffee and is still kicking

adlai: thus the modern stock market enables us to calculate the free-market price of
a fuck, commonly only approximated through dark pools in back alleys
