mircea_popescu: i wouldn't.
BingoBoingo: I'm telling you they hired Armandi to be their shadow CEO
mircea_popescu: i think they use an avg
mircea_popescu: i still can't quite believe icbc is listed as a pink wtf bbq
mike_c: that number is wrong i believe
mike_c: where yo ugetting that number? i see PTR mrq is 2.92 eps
cazalla: i don't think there are any australian ones, i think BHP Billiton has cap of like 50-60b
mircea_popescu: i see goog actual at 15.3 pe
mike_c: hm, the petrochina ADR i see has $225b cap and pe 11
mike_c: far as i can tell china companies have crappy pe's.
BingoBoingo: Even then, I'd expect it to report a lot of cornstarch, stearate and lipid esters
asciilifeform: i didn't see mortar/pestle in the photo, sorta assumed it must've been there
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: That's diginork's link. If such a kickstarter succeeded I wouldn't trust it to identify interesting things...
mike_c: today: "we're bankrupt. I'm outta here"
mike_c: hashfast ceo one month ago: "I joined this company a month ago because the team is amazing and we are not scammers"
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i suggested it as 'coin' simply as thought experiment in generalizing the 'use-value' of btc. that is, material that cannot be confused with anything else (Hg, for instance, on top of being rather common, can be substituted with 'gallinstan' alloy. but you can't raise melting point of Ga by mixing in impurities - only lower it)
BingoBoingo: benkay: My setup looks like that unsee.cc pic I linked to fluffypony
asciilifeform: i'd leave this gedankenexperiment on the shelf. just because you can, doesn't mean that you must. but, on the other hand, nobody's gonna play tungsten games with 'gold' that's liquid at 30c.
kakobrekla: i thought it was english.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Well, I think retaliation from the Gallium upbidding cartel could take the form of upbidding Indium. iPhones can have problems too.
BingoBoingo: I like the gallium torroid idea. I was thinking I might be useful for creating small bronze scultpures that could be remoulded almost like clay.
mircea_popescu: da fuck do i do now
mircea_popescu: <mike_c> if it just works they don't need you anymore. << i need him more when it works.
punkman: i guess now that their vc money came in they can splurge a bit
fluffypony: I like to think of it as Bitcoin Testnet but for test environments
benkay: i mean granted i don't know shit about shinola
benkay: i use it to nail down environments for a single process
Mats_cd03: i found pubes in my cereal this morning
kakobrekla: i think thats the rendering from lynx.
mircea_popescu: serves the mods quite comfortable. i think the man is talented.
asciilifeform: what kind of trouble warranted his removal - and by whom, in actuality, he was removed - we (or at least i) do not know
pankkake: the general thinking is "I'll get away with it"
pankkake: I'm not sure sentences work at all
asciilifeform: chetty: what i'm suggesting is that this particular specimen 'needed to have problems' - for some reason obviously not stated in the gov. press release.
asciilifeform: chetty: i'd be surprised if every judge in usa weren't guilty of these and other crimes. but this one is removed. --> for reasons.
benkay: i understand now, thank you.
asciilifeform: benkay: perhaps i did not explain well. most wm actually draw something of their own on the screen - window boundaries, toggles, clocks, etc.
asciilifeform: there are other tiling wm, but they all seem to insist on being 'better' - i.e. actually outputting something extra
benkay: i'd hope.
benkay: granted this pernicious notion was planted in my head by the notorious lee, so i don't know if it carries any water.
benkay: i've been concerned about a wm stomping on my emacs bindings, and losing a week to fixing it.
benkay: i have to admin, i tend to eschew the window mgr in favor of...emacs. app-tab over to...browsers.
asciilifeform: benkay: the wm 'ratpoison', imho, looks better than osx. i.e., it doesn't draw extraneous crud on the display at all...
jborkl: I still do not know if he is the biggest idiot on the planet or just a scammer playing idiot
mircea_popescu: i like him too, and feel thesame way
fluffypony: I like Peter Todd, I feel like his efforts are wasted / stymied by many others around him
mircea_popescu: but what do i know.
mircea_popescu: '...what I find among the modern novices is that they do not feel the same way about the experts -- they want an expert-free world where their ignorance is not painful, where their inexperience is not used against them, where they get all the jokes, where nobody uses literary references that elude them, where every one of their ideas is accepted by their peers as just as novel as they think it is...' <<< quite exactly.
asciilifeform: '...what I find among the modern novices is that they do not feel the same way about the experts -- they want an expert-free world where their ignorance is not painful, where their inexperience is not used against them, where they get all the jokes, where nobody uses literary references that elude them, where every one of their ideas is accepted by their peers as just as novel as they think it is...'
asciilifeform: i knew i could rely on that particular cat
mircea_popescu: i ordinarily punish people for things they perceive are "well outside their control"
mircea_popescu: i will blame the mice.
mike_c: honestly i would rather see a btc investment that bought commodities rather than real estate. with the REITS I feel like people are expecting a BTC return. no one would think that with a commodity fund (similar to x.eur).
mike_c: mircea_popescu: lol. i'm in!
asciilifeform: because i could really use some
mircea_popescu: i think this problem is often misrepresented by all the young cocks starting new things.
asciilifeform: there was something like wood's metal that did 80, i think
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: if you can find me a eutectic solder that melts anywhere near 30C (but not liquid at room temp like Hg) i'll buy it right now.
jurov: too many things that can go bad.. i'm keeping my bricks, thanks
mircea_popescu: pankkake more of this fudingyou learned on btc forum i see.
jurov: ok, i got such for first time
mike_c: i like better the scam where they just send you a bill
mircea_popescu: jurov one of the more common finds when i review my spamtraps
mike_c: jurov: no. dime a dozen scam. i throw those out on a weekly basis
jurov: i replied that no
mike_c: and i'm sure they just a few points off for their own pockets.
mircea_popescu: i didn't realise this at the time.
mircea_popescu: you know, when i said the power rangers are too stupid to be on the internet and they said i'm just being evil, because they're about as smart as everyone else derping about "open source software" we were BOTH right
pankkake: mapofcoins is missing Bernankoin :( how do I submit?
thestringpuller: I don't sell outside the US just sending you and MP cookies.
los_pantalones: company i work for provides btc liquidity to businesses, we settle net 7 or net 15
davout: thestringpuller: oic, weren't you supposed to send me a cookie for some reason i forgot?
fluffypony: davout: ah I see what you mean
los_pantalones: but i want to know what you think the going price is
thestringpuller: lol davout i've been developing a cookie company but we want to migrate our profits into btc
los_pantalones: i could sell you btc every day, settle net 7 or net 15
davout: thestringpuller: that i got, wasn't the question tho :)
thestringpuller: my business runs in fiat and I want to migrate the operating revenue into btc
thestringpuller: i want to migrate my fiat income stream into bitcoin
thestringpuller: i'd rather just have a continuous supplier like a miner I can just pay
thestringpuller: yea i just looked
davout: gambling & porn is usually > 6% i hear
pankkake: really? perhaps I've only seen higher rates but maybe banks like to fuck small businesses
thestringpuller: I guess I'm just bitter since back in the day I could buy BTC pretty much at market price with 0.5% in fees.
pankkake: I don't know many who have only 1% for CC
davout: "there's laughter in every slaughter" <<< thank you, if that was the joke, i get it too nao
kakobrekla: o yea now i get it too.
pankkake: jurov: I didn't even understand my joke at first
pankkake: I'm ok. I guess. lol
pankkake: actually there might have been a year ago, when I wasn't very active
pankkake: the logs are public but I don't remember that much
drawingthesun: I shudder to think what people have said about ActiveMining here
pankkake: danielpbarron: i've seen a few of those cases; overly enthusiastic towards things they don't fully understand
danielpbarron: actually lately he hasn't really mentioned crypto-stuff at all, which is good; I was giving him a hard time for this stuff on twitter
punkman: I guess .onions are in the same boat though
punkman: yeah I know
danielpbarron: i might be using the wrong slash; it's been a while
danielpbarron: nobody; i think you could make up your own as long as you write the interface for it
punkman: i guess google is gonna love it
