nubbins`: hey now, i'm only 32 ;(
nubbins`: mircea_popescu: best description of a vulnerable mess with cool features you ever heard, too. this is because i both used to be into chicks with bunches of piercings, and also write code
mircea_popescu: i have no idea why exactly, as mike_c aptly pointed out size and especiallyu outsize is the worst enemy of good financials,
nubbins`: jurov, fluffypony: could have optional "#bitcoin-assets / freenode" etc on the back. i'll skip it for mine :D
jurov: i can always switch it to "The First And Only Exclusive Coolness" shit

mircea_popescu: "I almost listed something on Cryptostocks, but think I will wait and reassess before I do. What we need as a community is to not accept these low standards of service. "
mircea_popescu: jurov:<mircea_popescu> [00:33:27] jurov, i see you +0.3 btc or so. << so i should value fmpif position at current offering sell price? << i've used the 30day average. seems reasonable valuation for a held security, but it's not mandatory, you can value whichever way you think reasonable.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla: plot twist, ascii is the gasenwagon driver. << wait i thought ascii was mpoe-pr

fluffypony: "Maybe Kumala could ask for usagi's help, I heard he's quite good with online wallets."
benkay: random_cat_: get together again on Tuesday? i'll stick around this time, i promise
benkay: i guess i've just had really shitty experiences in picking up a lot of orm/database tangles
jurov: <mircea_popescu> [00:33:27] jurov, i see you +0.3 btc or so. << so i should value fmpif position at current offering sell price?
asciilifeform: i've one, like everybody else
asciilifeform: ;;later tell mircea_popescu this'd be the pill against your smoking hdd controllers, as i gather.
asciilifeform: apparently i should've asked 'audiophile' fanatics.
asciilifeform: re: conundrum from last night: i did find out who was the original maker of ferroresonant transformers - which the box that hummed under classical soviet tvs was copied from.
BingoBoingo: Headed to bed, but I'll just suppose now... Maybe the most important May Trilema http://trilema.com/2014/the-instrumentation-of-humanity/
thestringpuller: nubbins` i needs more arts
asciilifeform: re: truecrypt audit touching none of the interesting stuff: i thought this was well-known.
BingoBoingo: I have a feeling mike_c already curses the existence of f.mpif
BingoBoingo: I think they started with 150 BTC, but I'm not exactly sure.
thestringpuller: Damn. I feel like you're using telepathy on me.
thestringpuller: i must be autistic or something
thestringpuller: i just cannot talk right
TomServo: I'm annoyed having missed out on it this long.
TomServo: After having driven automatic transmissions all my life and buying an older land cruiser, I have to say driving a manual really is a pleasure.
benkay: DO I HAVE TO DO EVERYTHING MYSELF?!
benkay: i'm familiar, BingoBoingo
thestringpuller: Damn BingoBoingo, i feel the same exact way
BingoBoingo: kakobrekla: My concern is more the rural roads where I'll be cruising and then an old person in a buick or fucking red neck in a tractor interupts me.
kakobrekla: cant find the one i had in mind.
kakobrekla: http://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/s--2NHBRO1I--/i67fdhj2pizumpy94fnk.gif
kakobrekla: eh? i dont even think about gears when driving
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: That car anology explains sucinctly why I stay with automatic transmissions. I respect the limits of my ability to control a motor vehicle and anything that reliably saves me cogitive overhead is welcome.
mircea_popescu: jurov, i see you +0.3 btc or so.
kakobrekla: i dunno
mircea_popescu: i fail to see how some forum nitwit implementing badly what he's read of mpoe-pr's posts counts as anything.
thestringpuller: i want to say June
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: unfortunately usagi doesn't keep comprehensive records like yourself so I have to guess
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla, do i know how much mpif panacea share is worth ?
jurov: i flipped 100k shares at profit, but when NAV is considered, made slight loss
decimation: I can sympathize with wanting to quit ... trying to make x86 hardware secure is a herculean task
jurov: from http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=1-05-2014 i gather nav did not change, just MP put 1.05% haircut in the price
BingoBoingo: decimation: Well, I guess if you wanted to quit, tripping your NSA canary would be a hell of a way to go out
jurov: i'm working on report and want to price them
jurov: i bought it to my kindle, did not downloaded yet
bitcoinpete: and with that, i bit ye a hasty adieu. it might be tuesday before i get back...
bitcoinpete: fluffypony: mircea_popescu kakobrekla since i'm still not 100% clear on the pirate insurance thing, i've updated the usagi article to include the milk story, since that seems to be more solid footing
nubbins`: i've never heard of someone peeling a holo and having an unreadable key inside
pankkake: that's what got me - I have more EUR than initally but would have done better if stayed in BTC. not that I really care as I wanted to stay in EUR for the time being
assbot: I once read a joke describing the inferiority complex facilitating social equili - Pastebin.com
BingoBoingo: I'm actually kind of surprised the BTC/RON operation avoided a loss, but the $525 to $500 yo-yo stayed with us long enough for Naphex's exchange to catch up.
pankkake: my own tries at trading btc/eur haven't been very successful. at least I know what I'm not good for
thestringpuller: sometimes I guess it pays to be a bit more pedantic
pankkake: I thought BB managed a fund earlier than MPIF, I was confused
thestringpuller: I should have said something like "one of the funds managers"
thestringpuller: ugh I need to learn to type too chetty
BingoBoingo: I still can't belive Usagi called me a fund manager. I manage four piles of money. Everything that goes into making it a fund is through Mircea. This distinction is evidence of the root of Usagi's failure.
thestringpuller: chetty: i need to learn a lot of things :P
pankkake: I think I got only 1 block at that diff
thestringpuller: oh yea I remember that. I think it's in the WoT too that's why kako has him at 1 and not neg rated
BingoBoingo: I'm not at all surprised this http://www.thedrinkingrecord.com/2014/06/01/may-combined-trading-statement/ didn't spark f.mpif trading activity in either direction.
bitcoinpete: though perhaps i misrepresented the kakobrekla bit
BingoBoingo: thestringpuller: This Usagi conversation has me thinking I might need to blog sometime soon on loses in Bitcoin.
bitcoinpete: fluffypony: i'm here! catch me up
BingoBoingo: thestringpuller: Thanks, I am indeed trained as one.
thestringpuller: I've been referencing your GPG guide for new employees
thestringpuller: BingoBoingo: Now I understand why you're such a good writer for teaching purposes. You are a librarian!
BingoBoingo: chetty: Maybe if you are on an elemental diet for digestive issues. I imagine mixed with crushed flintstones vitamins it might be useful as a crude form of TPN.
Blazedout419: thank god i never bought icedrill
BingoBoingo: I think slurry of miscelaneous carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids in aqueous suspension is as specific a description as possible for the slurry
pankkake: I'm just outraged by refusal to learn
BingoBoingo: thestringpuller: I'm more outraged that he feels entitled to opine on funds, success, or management
chetty: I dun know whats worse, deliberate scam or just stupid
thestringpuller: Ultimately I think usagi is trying to cling onto the forum. If he's labeled a scammer there how will he raise money?
chetty: the author is giving it away thru FB, I dont FB tho :(
thestringpuller: then I felt a bit sad that humans can be so stupid they don't know they're stupid.
thestringpuller: Then I got mad because humans are this stupid...
thestringpuller: BingoBoingo: well today I realized if I had invested all those coin in MPCD.A instead NYAN.A it would be a non-issue.
chetty: *** disclaimer I am only on chapter 2
chetty: Whether called crab mentality in the Philippines (“If I can’t have it neither can you”) or the Jante Law in Scandinavia (“Don’t think that you are more than others”), the tall poppy syndrome in collectivistic-influenced commonwealth countries (“Cutting down the tall poppy”), or schadenfreude in Germany, these syndromes all describe the same condition of pathological narcissism that thrives commonly in collectivism on undermining
pankkake: how do I steganography in the real world?
pankkake: so I could do everything I want with a simple USB key, but wouldn't mind another layer of security, however crappy itis
pankkake: nubbins`: maybe that's what I will do… they're more of a bother than anything else to run now
pankkake: and I don't think anyone could really manage to steal and replace the unencrypted data
pankkake: none, I just want some storage that would almost never leave my sight, and the only non-software encrypted part would be a /boot partition
fluffypony: Blazedout419: maybe as a joke thing, like "hah hah I bought some AM shares back in the day'
pankkake: looks quite big. I also want it on my keychain :)
pankkake: yes, I mean physical lock. it's what I'm interested in
asciilifeform: also a mechanical lock, if i recall.
pankkake: I remember a usb key that was lockable. well it was a kickstarter project
asciilifeform: 'Each time hacking is detected (i.e. the wrong PIN is entered a total of 10
nubbins`: yeah, i have that title misprint
pankkake: I remember selling some of my old Francs over face value
nubbins`: no mention of the labels being reversed though, from what i can find
