benkay: i had a hilarious experience last night
mircea_popescu: but all in all this is a fine example of why i said in the past that bitcoin fucks everything up. it ruined the notion of bonds similarly.
mircea_popescu: i can imagine why.
mircea_popescu: mike_c, i guess the sane construction here is they're paying about 100mn to the various manuf etc to make their chips, and they expect to mine 200mn worth of btc
mircea_popescu: i ddin't miss the part where th sec dutifully cribbed the mpex numbers from trilema.
mike_c: well, they are talking about cash flow not balance sheet, so capex i guess
mircea_popescu: mike_c, what i want to know is, if you ignore tax, interest, depreciaiton and everything else
princessnell: i think that's right but i unfortunately don't think that's the approach that us law schools take. anyways i deal a lot with law through economics so i can have it all.
mircea_popescu: bitcoinpete: mike_c: didn't know that about altcoin… i don't know why i thought it was a costlier project << nah, thickasthieves was running lean at the time :D
mircea_popescu: Mats_cd03, has a good point, physics i agree is very very close. for exactly the same reason
mircea_popescu: how deep to the water table is perhaps what you're discussing, whereas how much water in that spot at all is maybe what i',m saying.
mircea_popescu: i suppose the start-up approach to studying law in the us is getting a small apt close to the campus of a good law school and fucking all the older profs for free.
princessnell: point is i think on the whole the fields i mentioned equip you with better mental models than most law programs
princessnell: "the best avenue" idk i'm biased but i'd have to go with economics or math or even logic/philosophy
mircea_popescu: granted this doesn't justify the tuition. but then again i've yet to meet the person that studied law and was worse for the wear for it.
fluffypony: I need to up my scamgame
fluffypony: despite what u-sage usagi thinks, I'm clearly a shitty scammer
mircea_popescu: fluffypony, you may underestimate the bezzle. what's whatsapp sell for i forget ? 50 trillion ?
mircea_popescu: princessnell: bitcoinpete i almost did the same and went into law. dodged a bullet there! << what's so bad about law ?
mircea_popescu: moiety, well, i have women to drive nuts, so it keeps me sane. it's like a gift.
pankkake: I hope that one line was trolling
mircea_popescu: davout, i dunno, i like it!
xmj: ;;later tell mircea_popescu am I unignored now?
mircea_popescu: ;;later tell Phinnaeus it doesn't cunt if i wasn't there!!!
xmj: mircea_popescu: am I unignored now?
mircea_popescu: how did i miss that!
mircea_popescu: fluffypony, remind me to tell you about the ONE bdsm meet i ever attended
fluffypony: The wife and I went to exactly 1 start-up dinner. Not only were the people a bunch of pretentious cocks that have never done anything successful in their lives (except circlejerk around all the cool synergies they can have with other start-ups), but the "speakers" (while eloquent and with beautiful Jobs-like presentations) espoused utterly inane notions that have no basis in reality and mostly have to do with spending stupid amounts of money
mircea_popescu: i love that place.
davout: mircea_popescu: "moving an entire cc across the continents is an involved task" <<< if you care to share i'm curious about the criteria for choosing argentina
moiety: i don't even know how you are still sane mircea_popescu, moving one person and two cats with very little stuff is.. well, I've had enough by this point lol
mircea_popescu: i mean schmucksy
Mats_cd03: now i can use gpg on my chromebook
moiety: i just realised smuxi has tweeter support and i have no idea how to use it
mircea_popescu: i don't even know moiety. still working at having everything up and running, moving an entire cc across the continents is an involved task
pankkake: I believe it works the other way
pankkake: i've also got the "it's written by a googletwitterfacebook employee"
mike_c: i would post that on my wall, but then everyone would just ask me "who is mircea"
mircea_popescu: anywyay, i was interrupted in the middle of spamming. let's continue.
artifexd: I think it comes down to the fact that I get a bad feeling at the idea of putting my private key somewhere that could be accessed via javascript that was downloaded from some external location.
danielpbarron: after i set the option "never try to translate this" it seems to work every time
danielpbarron: when i first started sending ascii armored blocks in gmail, they would alter some of it so it wasn't valid on the other end; sometimes because it would try to translate it, and sometimes it would just randomly remove a space or line return
artifexd: I looked at that and I dismissed it for some reason that I don't recall. That was prior to the current release though so I shall look again.
artifexd: It is hard to find (as in I couldn't) an easy way to do gpg email in gmail. There used to be plugins but they just don't last/work.
fluffypony: artifexd: I was reading their stuff earlier, it's quite interesting
moiety: i think i would have to give out credits to get people to read a blog
mircea_popescu: well since i'm reading the logs, i'd like to take a minute and dissect the stupidity of "xmj: mike_c: not if he dislikes my stating how it is."
mircea_popescu: mike_c, i seriously see why it'd make sense for your site.
pankkake: and I don't know how
mircea_popescu: <moiety> i wonder how things would be with bitcoin today if all this time and energy thats been spent on alts had been focussed on btc << not noticeably different.
moiety: i wonder how things would be with bitcoin today if all this time and energy thats been spent on alts had been focussed on btc
TomServo: I mined a few litecoin blocks via CPU way back when. Just recently found that wallet and sold them, twas nice to grab a few BTC out of that.
pankkake: god, how I hate those scam pumpers
pankkake: "The only alt worth having any serious money in is Litecoin. I have no faith in any others.
pankkake: "You should not keep all your eggs in 1 basket, get some Litecoin as well, have you seen the volume and market cap? I am 70% Bitcoin, 30% Litecoin - Litecoin is seriously undervalued right now.
assbot: I've come to my senses...I sold all my dogecoins and am full into bitcoin again. Not gonna f*** with those alt coins again. : Bitcoin
fluffypony: BingoBoingo:That's actually fluffypony's photoshopped wife <- I knew I should've made her nails the same colour!
mircea_popescu: i shall ponder this matter while my salmon omlet cooks
mircea_popescu: so now, should i go through the logs ? or should i make further travel posts on trilema ?
Naphex: i'm off
mircea_popescu: i have no fucking idea
Naphex: i'm guessing e163 / 68a9 encodes the ip
Naphex: nah i was just kidding, do the ticket
mircea_popescu: i'll put the ticket in tomorrow then, that enough for you ?
Naphex: wait i was just about to break the hash
Naphex: so do i get a bitcoin?:) %%
mircea_popescu: actually i suppose an extra layer couldn't possibly hurt.
Mats_cd03: I was under the impression _any_ mil aircraft with potus in it was Air Force One, or Marine One, etc
Naphex: sadly i am not the nsa:(
Naphex: so i can just snag it from there
mircea_popescu: i forget exactly but in principle that's the scheme
Naphex: yep i'm guessing its hooked to remote_addr
Naphex: well it works in the office cause i'm behind the same IP
Naphex: hehe thats what i meant
mircea_popescu: fucking hell what sort of wet straw do they use to make brains these days i wish to know. denial all the way never fucking workls in practice, yet it seems the only strategy kids deploy anymore.
mircea_popescu: and ima do it because "some of the seats are already taken", as if random rottinculo has the upper hand in this fucking relationship where i got the dough and he's doing the begging.
mircea_popescu: im gonna consider sponsoring some people i don't know, because i have no friends and don't know anybody.
assbot: Hi, I wanted to follow up regarding the conference. Have you considered ou - Pastebin.com
mircea_popescu: now that i doub
artifexd: You would certainly have to be an idjot to bet on it. I was just curious.
Naphex: my blood just boils if i order something/pre-order something and it never gets delivered
Naphex: so anyone who tried to use blockchain.info in the last i dunno 5-6 hours
davout: so, i thought like you, but the facts seem to tell a different story
davout: pankkake: well, i pointed out the fact that their new policy didn't mean shit taken on its own, however it appears there are some wallets that are back in
dub: which is a change from last time I thought about it
davout: dub: well, osx is pretty good for ui imo, so i'm happy this way
davout: mostly because i use linux for servers
davout: i keep raging about it each time i use a windows comp, and i don't use gui when i use linux
davout: pankkake: i use it everyday, and imo it's the best window management, it never feels like it gets in the way
dub: I don't need unix at my end terminal and its only a couple of clicks away
davout: dub: a feature i like it's that their OS is a unix
dub: thats not just idle fanboy hatred either, they have a lot of mobile handsets around but beyond a few music heads (who suffer extreme lock-in) I don't know any actual users
fluffypony: yeah I quite like Apple and I think that's a stupid feature to focus on
kakobrekla: i guess next question is, does it come with lipstick?
davout: i mean, in my case it's a separate process, but it does however leverage a unique domain model
Naphex: i just think one big app to handle wallet api, exchange api, payments api might just be too big
Naphex: so i can have wallet nodes, exchange nodes (which can be split into INSTRUMENT servers)
Naphex: now i know services are secure and they stay clean and sharp to the point code
Naphex: I like my stuff modular, i split a big app into scalable services
Naphex: <+davout> Naphex: i don't think splitting apps would make it less vulnerable, on the contrary, having only one attack surface is easier to manage <<
