A blog by Pete Dushenski
punkman: pete_dushenski: didn't see
a mention of the colored coin treatise in your post
assbot: ISIS took
a Facebook approach, starting in one place then expanding to
a caliphate. Al Qaeda too unfocused.
assbot: If the new iPad has an anti-glare screen, that's
a potential gamechanger in the fight against ISIS.
pete_dushenski: taleb can also be pretty emotional, lashing out on tards at the drop of
a hat
assbot: What Kurdish fighters really need is
a motivational hashtag, like /hashtag/AllIn?src=hash or nothing
BingoBoingo: "There was
a lot of talk recently about Gavin possibly changing the protocol to increase the number of transactions per block. As this formed quite
a bit of chapter 2 I was wondering if you had an thoughts on this." << ALso not
a thing that changes the protocol
pankkake: that's how you spot
a tiny penis
pete_dushenski: even better woulda been
a 6-digit hash on the guy's dong
nubbins`: before this happened, the all-time harshest punishment for
a canadian citizen caught selling seeds was
a $200 fine

kyuupichan: lol,
a few blocks to ATC diff megaramp and mysterious miner runs away
nubbins`: i should start charging
a wastage premium for these
nubbins`: the thing about doing rainbow-roll t-shirts is that at the end, you've got
a big mess of brown ink
assbot: Tim Swanson’s PR Challenges | Contravex:
A blog by Pete Dushenski
kakobrekla: We wanted to change the wording on box that hologram seal is an authenticity measure, not
a security measure, exactly for this reason. But it was too late and quite big amount of boxes was already printed. We'll change this in
a future release of box.
BingoBoingo: Latex isn't really something the needs to be learned so much as done with
a helpful companion book next to you
BingoBoingo: Oh, and his footnotes have fucking broken links, because
a hyperlink is an insufficient citation format for "
a book" even if it is an ebook!
BingoBoingo: Seriously why does everyone with
a copy of MS Word and Adobe Acrobat think they can self publish, with out the skills, without the practice, to make
a fucking document work!
BingoBoingo: Even before we get to the Content of Swanson's book.... Dude needs
a fucking editor/publisher or to read the Chicago Manual of Style.
assbot: _nightengale_ comments on This is going to be heavily ignored but this is really important.
A long well written paper about the issues with bitcoin.
fluffypony: "GOING TO HAVE TO SCREEN CANDIDATES BETTER. HAD
A CREEPY KFC OBSESSED DEVELOPER TODAY CLAIMING TO BE “INTIMATELY FAMILIAR WITH THE COLONEL”"

RagnarDanneskjol: I kno - think he removed maybe - dood is
a mealey mouthed wanker
kuzetsa: I didn't expect it to be
a giffed doge snuff film thinger like that, whoa :(
RagnarDanneskjol: lemme know if you want
a search run for someone to pick up the slack on those constant admin time costs - just let me know what measurwments you need, blonde or brunette
kuzetsa: short term fluctuations on
a few exchanges, but the weekly changes have been less than $20usd for
a while now from what I've noticed
mircea_popescu: so you'll have to somehow come to terms with
a one-off sort of contract. i'm not chaining conditionals.
antonosika: Would it be possible to have 2016 delivery but delivery march 2015 provided
a few requirements?
antonosika: mircea_popescu I could do that but I don't see the reason.
A contract where one party has
a chance to recieve nothing is
a large and unnecessary risk
kyuupichan: If BTC drops it might tempt more into the BRK.
A bet, which could be good.
antonosika: Well that's higher risk too. The issue would be being paid 1 Satoshi if delayed. Why not just change it to
a second contract with delivery 2016 if delay?
kyuupichan: BRK.
A about 348 BTC. Has to go under 314 BTC by March or I'm fscked.
kyuupichan: Altcoin space undergoing something of
a collapse
mircea_popescu: maybe he's an analyst as opposed to
a cunning linguist.
mircea_popescu: only
a mind that never played with statistics can think there's something in there.
RagnarDanneskjol: Something within the composition of the relationship between gold and VIX has changed in this timeframe. For the past two years, it has been
a largely negative correlated relationship amassing around -0.4 to -0.3. However, come summer of 2013, there has been
a dramatic reversal of this trend, pushing it into unprecedented territories of
a positive correlation upwards of +0.5. The large swings following summer of 2013
mircea_popescu: Humans are highly adaptive creatures and incredibly ingenious when it comes to modifying our behavior in the face of externally or internally applied pressure and circumstance. ‘Normal’ is
a relative term, not some static measurement, and both the body and mind quickly becomes accustomed to the ‘new’ normal when choices appear to be limited and the herd moves to
a new grazing field. But this doesn’t mean the
mod6: the atc gotw is about to come to
a screeching halt. lol
punkman: so hey guys, if you write
a book, footnotes go at the end of each page
punkman: you know what's really annoying? clicking on
a footnote, jumping to end of book, then not being able to go back to the footnote reference
mircea_popescu: it sucks being such
a religious leader all the god damned time.
pete_dushenski: ^who is nothing like leah and everything like
a civilized woman enjoying cairo in style
punkman: well I've been looking for all that data in the book but I only found copy-pasted charts of dubious provenance and footnote links of dubious provenance. Not even
a single link to organofcorti.
mircea_popescu: one needs
a whole lot of various crap to keep the fiat boat afloat.
punkman: "as detailed in chapter 9, having 100% full reserve is not
a feature, it is
a bug that holds and prevents the network from reproducing or creating an actual banking system."
mircea_popescu: The Duke of Norfolk: Oh confound all this. I'm not
a scholar, I don't know whether the marriage was lawful or not but dammit, Thomas, look at these names! Why can't you do as I did and come with us, for fellowship!
mircea_popescu: there's
a nice quote in that 60s scofield movie on just this topic :
mircea_popescu: the thing with people is that most of them are better served by following than leading. this is manifested by an inability to adhere to
a self-selected set of rules. so, you know, he wants to roll with the punches.
punkman: "WHAT IS THIS ROMANIAN CULT IN
A CAVE"
assbot: Inside
a Chinese Bitcoin Mine | The CoinsmanThe Coinsman
ben_vulpes: i always thought numbers came in
a select set of logical groups
mircea_popescu: it's
a great coincidence that wood burns cleanly and coal only slightly dirty, otherwise civilisation'd have been quite
a different thing.
gribble: Error: "gpginfo" is not
a valid command.
gribble: (gpg info [--key|--address] <nick>) -- Returns the registration details of registered user <nick>. If '--key' option is given, interpret <nick> as
a GPG key ID.
☟︎ kakobrekla: <TheNewDeal> do you think miners will start rejecting transactions with fees below
a certain amount? < only the poor people pay fees
mircea_popescu: punkman: "the expenses the largest is legal at $296,000 followed by rent at $111,000" << shoudl be interesting what they rent for 111k. weren't the derps in san francisco whining coupla months ago that 10 / month / sqfoot is "outside of what
a business can pay" ?
gribble: Error: 'New' is not
a valid integer.
mircea_popescu: everyone's just sell sell sell not even
a moment to consider it may be veering into the fucking ridiculous after
a while ?
mircea_popescu: it's
a market, unlikely it'll ever go over
a buck or w/e.
TheNewDeal: do you think miners will start rejecting transactions with fees below
a certain amount?
mircea_popescu: if you look at secular averages, there is
a huge jump.
TheNewDeal: then why wasn't there
a huge price jump during the reward halving?
dignork: TheNewDeal: so the logic goes: currently miners are reimbursed ~40$ per tx, what will happen to them when payout drops. It's actually
a valid question imho.
dignork: mircea_popescu: I think it's
a beginning of beautiful friendship. or not.
mircea_popescu: is this the first time i got called
a religious leader btw ?
mircea_popescu: fluffypony: he literally spoke about the thing that mtgox did that made them vulnerable to malleability attacks << this is
a major part of why mtgox debacle was so funny to the old timers.
mircea_popescu: anyone bored enough to extract the footnote in question from chapter 17, lemmeknow. i got
a log to read.
TimSwanson: They built really cool tech like PGP or even Digicash and ZKS but couldn't find
a target market in
a profitable manner
mircea_popescu: this'd be
a fine example of the strawman in question. you imagine this is
a meaningful question, but it isn't.
