cazalla: mircea_popescu:
i forgot to add dogecoin creator jackson palmer to the list of .au scammers
punkman:
I don't think you were on .ro time even when you were in .ro
mircea_popescu: who the hell is still on origin time after a month in a different timezone
i wish to know ?!
decimation: mthreat your highest google result is the bbs interview -
I like your model M keyboard in the background
decimation:
I use the scare quotes for "buyer" because
I'm not sure the word applies to someone giving money to someone in exchange for something they don't understand
TheNewDeal:
I would assume corportations buy more computers than people though
decimation: well, a large chunk of "computer" "purchasers" have no idea what the hell they are buying, so
I can see why they would do it
decimation: asciilifeform -
I was spec'ing some Intel chips today, and realized that their marketing strategy (for all segments) relies on maximally obfuscating the functionality of their products
decimation: if you really want to move about mostly unbothered,
I suggest a submarine. Or walk.
TheNewDeal:
I will happily trade my constant position location as long as
I don't have to have another one of those updates. Do you hear me Big Brother? You've finally won
TheNewDeal: if all flights were tracked so damn well at least
I would have to wake up to another fucking Flight 379 update
decimation: except... " Blocking For security and privacy reasons information about some aircraft is limited or blocked."

ThickAsThieves: a couple times a year jurov and
i give mp a hard time about x.diff design
TheNewDeal:
I never knew about the collateral cap on payout
TheNewDeal: okay so
I'm reading jurov's writeup on x.diff
mike_c:
i believe withdrawal/asset transfers are the same
TheNewDeal: quiz question. If
I were on coinbr, and then bought a MPOE account, what would he charge to transfer shares
mike_c: understood.
i just see you as a good potential customer for coinbr, so
I was trying to dig into why you were hesitant.
i think
i get it.
mike_c: punkman: you can cut up the data you have into pieces. but
I really don't think there's enough for much confidence in results.
mike_c: yup,
i got that. just talking about the fees.
TheNewDeal:
I said something more like 2 BTC to begin with
TheNewDeal: mike_c if you read what
I said,
I told you that
I was NOT comfortable risking 10 BTC on coinbr/mpoe
mike_c: TheNewDeal: last comment from me,
i'm really not trying to sell you. But that 'tiny percentage' you were talking about from hedge fund managers is usually 2%. which is the same fee as coinbr in your 10 BTC example.
punkman: well if this retarded strategy can do 46%
I think
I got some margin for error
moiety: nothing wrong with that,
i'm same
TheNewDeal: the thing
I also like about bitbet is that you can pick off bets that are almost for sure winners, and look for a certain return
TheNewDeal:
I would prefer that he were like a hedge fund manager, making % off your winnings
TheNewDeal: what
I would really like to do is start off with 2 or so BTC until
I feel comfortable with it
TheNewDeal: on bitbet,
I can pick and choose what
I feel comfortable with
TheNewDeal: coinbr is restricted to MPOE stocks, and
I'm very unfamiliar with them compared to those who trade
TheNewDeal: let's say
I am comfortable investing 10 BTC through coinbr (
I'm not)
mike_c:
i'm not trying to bust balls,
i'm honestly curious.
TheNewDeal:
I trading what
I own and owning what
I trade
TheNewDeal:
I don't have the capital to trade on mpoe
mike_c: all
i'm saying is, if you think you have an edge, whip up some IDIFF.SEP contracts.
TheNewDeal:
I would rather earn a sure, small portion, versus risk a lot
TheNewDeal: never said
I had superior prognostication
TheNewDeal: mike_c , what
I'm saying is that some people don't know how to calculate a good difficulty
moiety: not the smallest window of time XD but
i'll wait patiently :]
benkay:
i'm sure you'll see something about it before
i die
benkay: aaaand
i may not even use a cacheing layer at the end of the day
benkay:
i'm not facing lots of writes but rather reads
TheNewDeal:
I wouldn't mind if the hash jumped off a cliff right now
benkay: hang on
i may be a few too beers deep to keep track of my +/- axes
TheNewDeal:
I don't think the dealeship would allow your to return it for the same amount of btc
benkay:
i guess that's what you get when you sell directly - the freedom to take whatever

benkay:
i suspect when one pays for hosted jira someone is staring at htop and intervening manually.
TheNewDeal: how do

TheNewDeal: oooh

TheNewDeal: wooooh there.

i guess you take that guy out back after he drives the truck where it is going.
kakobrekla: tbh
i dont think its an issue if sync is done daily or so
mthreat: ok, or

http endpoint where you can POST irc entries as they come in
mthreat:
i haven't before, but if it's easy to do from java, then yeah
mthreat: cool..
i'll hit up said schmuck once it's live, and maybe we can have whatever process adds to the log also send it to the search engine, so it'll be instantly searchable
punkman: yes now that
I've revealed this amazing strategy people will phrase propositions differently and ruin it
punkman: total net gain is 36.3 BTC, then
I subtracted 26.6 BTC that
I would need for the 266 bets that had result = Yes
punkman:
I'm just looking at bets with result = No
punkman: so
I just put together something to test betting strategies on past bitbets and guess what, betting 0.1 on No on all resolved bets would result in a net gain of 9.7 BTC
☟︎ benkay:
i wonder if they're printed first and then turned into cans or what.
