TheNewDeal: ahh I gotcha
artifexd: Or do you want the biggest? A link to a dpaste with links? I mean, what do you want her to show in here?
artifexd: mircea_popescu: No, she can't. Give me an example of how you would use it and what you would expect in return and I'll see what I can do.
ThickAsThieves: the option to learn and practice this is only as expensive as i permit it to be
mike_c: that's a big question obv. but i do believe short term price movements are random.
ThickAsThieves: bother may be the wrong word, but i make no claim to being expert
ThickAsThieves: i can say i will never post a chart to manipulate
ThickAsThieves: i dont necessarily trade exactly to my published charts, but you can at least see me learn over time
ThickAsThieves: but if there's useful info i'll find a way to convey it
ThickAsThieves: i keep a daily mark with minimal notes, i also publish a chart every few days at least
ThickAsThieves: i'll report them if i do well, obv
ThickAsThieves: well i'd say it's got at least some potency
mike_c: ;;8ball should i buy or sell?
BingoBoingo: Right, and I'd imagine more orders get cancelled than actually fulfilled
ThickAsThieves: “We have no discretion,” Mr. Silbert said. “We are bidding based on where all the bids come in into our syndicate.” I guess 2ndmkt aint getting any coins
ThickAsThieves: i wish i could find the original text from Citi
pankkake: for the same reason I don't understand the "they will dump it on the open market". the open market probably can't handle it
pankkake: it is true that bitcoin isn't that liquid, but I don't see how the other pieces fall into place
ThickAsThieves: i guess theull be bidding too
nubbins`: i feel like maybe merino has some sort of natural coating on it, but i'd say between the few types of ink we have, something would stick
nubbins`: i guess if the weave was fine enough, it'd work
pankkake: I'm in a trolly mood
pankkake: hm apparently OP_RETURN is by default not relayed. but if it ever is, I might patch my node :)
Mats_cd03: you. You say to all the universe, Only I will be great, and to make room for me the rest of you must give up even what you already have, and become nothing.
ThickAsThieves: "I doubt even 0.1% people here support rape of any kind." lol
chetty: normally I support the way he does that, it really does make people think. But everything has limits
ThickAsThieves: I try not to do that, but mp loves it
chetty: I think rape is a topic he should stay off, at least until he gets raped and knows what it is
chetty: well I think that article is a prime example of the confusion between sex/rape and assault/rape. he makes the long standing point about not knowing what you dont know but then it gets messy
pankkake: (I haven't read the article yet, I'm 3 behind…)
pankkake: "a test of your filters". eh, I guess this is one of the best descriptions so far
ThickAsThieves: chetty think of it this way, do you believe that mp thinks women should literally be raped? I assume you'd answer No. In that case, what is he really trying to say? Or, at worst, what point can be extracted from the trolling. This is the nature of most mp rants and provocation. Each a test of your filters.
BingoBoingo: Oh, I was thinking the other 28 day cycle...
jurov: "yes i have loads of old spreadsheets." yay, the stuff that makes plants grow
punkman: but fuck it, I'm just gonna pop up a window with matplotlib
punkman: pankkake: also found a hack I could copy from another app. It checks window size, makes a full-sized background, then pastes your smaller image on the right coordinates.
pankkake: right, I've seen that one before. but as I understand it, he merged the shell and the terminal emulator
pankkake: I love browsing with the "controversial" sort
punkman: guess I'll have to popup another window for graphs
punkman: I just figured out how to do clickable text that opens a URL in browser
pankkake: you might say "GUIs", but I want them in screen, in ssh, and be keyboard driven only
pankkake: but yeah, I wish we had consoles with non-text elements
punkman: why can't I have something like this on *nix, http://poshconsole.codeplex.com/
pankkake: I've trolled all week, I'm nearing the end of my streak
fluffypony: will put up a blog post later today when I get a moment
fluffypony: BingoBoingo: quite nice so far, but all I've really done is arrive, have a few drinks, and then have breakfast
conwke: I haven't used IRC in years, its strange being back on
mircea_popescu: i never met an intelligent young man that couldn't read it
assbot: Looking at the art world over Adrian Ghenies shoulder and why I hate it or love it. Not sure.
mircea_popescu: so romania's other great blogger switched to english : http://www.jeg.ro/adrian-ghenie-pace-gallery-london-golems-looking-at-the-art-world-over-adrian-ghenie-s-shoulder-and-why-i-hate-i-or-love-it-not-sure/
mircea_popescu: kinda larger sort of investment to make it go, i guess.
mircea_popescu: i think it only appears demographic because there's allignment between the actual causes and demographics.
decimation: I suppose there's a reason that the Washington Monument is a giant phallus, welcoming the incoming classes of young interns
decimation: I guess the shame of the institution doesn't attach to its individual members
decimation: I'd say most democratic systems have created this situation anyway. What kind of person wants to be a bureaucrat who appears to be in charge yet can affect nothing?
mircea_popescu: i'd be kinda curious to see how a country worked where the cure for insanity was 2 years in parliament.
mircea_popescu: by the latter criterion i'd guess medicine is mostly successful
mircea_popescu: i wasn't aware this was a secret
mircea_popescu: maybe i should spend my money printing fliers of this guy's blog instead.
mircea_popescu: thing else? A few new medicines have come out, though none of them appeared on the test either. There's money to be made on the west coast using giant magnets, (fortunately) also not on the test. So? Was the ABPN worried I'd forget how to use MAOIs? I'm never going to use them, I have enough problems monitoring Xanax. The astonishing truth is that despite millions of dollars and hundreds of academic careers psychiatry
mircea_popescu: The logic of a 10 year MOC exam is to keep us up to date, so it's fair to ask: what in psychiatry has changed in ten years, what are the major advances? Depakote was discovered to be the default maintenance mood stabilizer despite no evidence supporting this, but that fell into disuse at a time oddly coinciding with its patent expiration, which is suspicious but I'm no epidemiologist. Anyway, it wasn't on the test. Any
mircea_popescu: i really can't see myself getting a license from anyone to anyting.
mircea_popescu: I can get 1 CME every 25-50 seconds, depending on my ability to click "b".
mircea_popescu: i imagine more boys than girls at any rate.
decimation: I think most women (quite practically) would rather die than live in mad max land
decimation: I guess my real point is that much of DC is an uninhabitable mad max land
mircea_popescu: * RUchamp_ (a2e354cb@gateway/web/freenode/ip.162.227.84.203) has joined #bitcoin-assets << dear chan, since i've made that 0.1 btc for titties post, mind voicing new names off webchat for a while ?
decimation: I found the metro to be generally useless
asciilifeform: speaking of sewage, i recently had occasion to learn the details behind herr orlov's assertion that usa minus mains current will drown in own shit ☟︎☟︎
asciilifeform: i dare say the folks who want to stick around to enjoy a hypothetical north american zimbabwe (usa minus mains current, sewer, water) are justifiably disinterested in btc
asciilifeform: best hypothesis i know of - some folks want to 'die well' rather than live
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: if you're concerned about a collapse, the marginal utility of putting 10% of your << there is another possible observation here. quite a few of the folks who might otherwise take an interest in bitcoin are 'collapse pessimists' - i.e. believe in the 'lead standard.'
decimation: I'm surprised he hasn't got on the bitcoin bandwagon, he seems to be a likely suspect
decimation: I imagine the arguments in court over long-lived estate's fee tails would be amusing
mircea_popescu: "But that’s not his style. He rolls up his sleeves. He puts his theories into action. He drives himself as hard as anyone I know." gates now a "hard work" apologist ?
mircea_popescu: All of the interventions involved – health, agriculture, infrastructure, education, and business seed money – make sense if carried out carefully, over time. But I am surprised by how little Sachs dug into country budgets, and that he didn’t work to convince governments to commit to additional taxation
mircea_popescu: i wonder how long until these schmucks can earnestly admit "we like going to poor villages in africa because it is enjoyable to peruse in detail the troglodytism of lesser people"
decimation: mircea I'm just amazed that there is clearly an opportunity to make a profitable exchange on US soil, yet it appears no one is trying
decimation: bloctoc: you might be right, but I suspect the "floor price" of buying into the entire us regulatory system is somewhere in the 10's of millions of dollars, perhaps low hundreds
extra: i'm meeting the coinbase co-founders at a Q&A tomorrow
mircea_popescu: no. i am pointing out that someone whose brain works quite well but who wastes his time THERE rather than hire makes piddly squat.
mircea_popescu: actually, i will readily PROVE to you he's exactly in the same category.
decimation: true. getting tenure in the us university is a nightmare, from what I've heard
mircea_popescu: a very bad risk, from what i hear.
decimation: actually I think that's kind of an insult to the scammers
mircea_popescu: i mean other than running the markov chain apparatus of opinion.
mircea_popescu: i do, yes.
decimation: I find the main human weakness w.r.t. generating randomness is a great aversion to repeated outcomes
mircea_popescu: RagnarDanneskjol that's what i do all day anyway :D
RagnarDanneskjol: I'm on it. pls standby
asciilifeform: i.e. liveried servitude
dub: alternative is $50 droidphone i guess
benkay: this is doable, i b'leev.
dub: clearly I dont have an iphone to check with
mircea_popescu: "If I had to put my chips and my children against an 8 year rotation of civil service nincompoops vs. some nerd with an open marriage who spent $15M on a "bachelor pad" so he could score chicks of questionable emotional stability, I'm going with the group my private sector lawyers have an outside chance of pwoning."
mircea_popescu: at least from the supposedly secret usg employment rolls i've seen to date.
benkay: fn cult i tell ya
mircea_popescu: if this club is littel i shudder to think what bigness looks like.
Mats_cd03: greencabbige: because mining now is a net loss. i hope you come back to this conversation when you have toasted your runway
greencabbige: ok if oyu're all gonna tag team on me with your littel club I'll just leave then should and carry on. We don't need any new money. we're currently in the strongest position we've ever been.
