ziggamon: BingoBoingo: in
a way. but also not, since the ecosystem is so much larger than the algorithm itself
BingoBoingo: ziggamon: There's
a long history of people surrounded by math feeling
a touch of religion through the purity of the numbers

a cool magic trick. distributed consensus among among liars and thieves is
a pretty neat trick

BingoBoingo: Though with the non-waiver trade deadline having passed yesterday hot stove slows down for
a bit

a great fellow to hold the reins to
a currency exchange
BingoBoingo: novusordo: Well... "The 2010 decision shows that Karpeles lost by default, and he was found liable of “fraudulent access to an automated data processing system” and “fraudulent changes to data contained in an automated data processing system.” The document also states that Karpeles admitted to French authorities that he had “pirated”
a server."
thickasthieves: every article i read first goes through
a what-are-they-trying-to-make-me-feel/think filter
thickasthieves: well i'm just contrasting, two ways to write
a bullshit article
thickasthieves: it's lame that if i auth as thickasthieves while using
a diff nick, assbot won't let me !up, regardless of nick or being auth'd with gribble already
chetty:
a little extra caution is usually
a good thing
chetty: <BingoBoingo> punkman: Not for that, for Data backup and having computing machine that will work after such an event/watch solar weather and have
a nice big metal trash can to pop laptops and flash drives and stuff into
BingoBoingo: punkman: Sun farts are indeed
a contingency to plan for
assbot: Solar storm:
A massive 2012 CME just missed the Earth.
punkman: "When I first heard of Ninkip2p, I was ecstatic. Finally, we have

a bottle of booze
BigBitz: punkman I think I sent it by accident, please send it to my Nigerian Uncle. He is
a Prince. Totally legit.
punkman: not yet, but there's
a small amount coming soon, and I don't like to leave
a balance with them
punkman: at least they admit their shit is broken: "We are aware of
a number of customers who are currently unable to add their bank accounts to PayPal."
punkman: yes my bank is gonna give me
a different IBAN just for Paypal
punkman: "I would advise that you contact your bank to ensure your IBAN number is correct. Please mention that you are trying to add your bank account to your PayPal account. In some cases you might receive
a slightly modified version of your IBAN from your bank."
BingoBoingo: Thankfully the bet is closed so there isn't
a bunch of late betting before the FOIA requests go through

A Tim Draper Idea Just as Madcap as the Others - Businessweek
fluffypony: there once was
a neuro named Mode, who swallowed
a rather large toad, with Myriads of coins, all girding his loins, he would ribbited, cackled, and crowed!
Vexual: i feel
a limerick coming
mircea_popescu: it's also mildly useful for crooked hedge fund mangers to explain to their half smart moneyed audience why exactly it is that i can make any % i want and they can only make
a % that's two digits no matter what happens.
peeta: btw, were you,
a JD investor?
peeta: I was
a Just-Dice investor
peeta: ok, so it all hinges on the max profit %... if it was anything above 2%
a blowup was likely because the volatility drag would be over the expected earnings
mircea_popescu: i've not put out
a scam tag on it if that's what you';re asking.
peeta: so are you getting
a Trezor Mircea?
jurov: ^ MPIF marketmaker incured not-quite-
a-loss
mircea_popescu:
A savvy young hooker named Gail got busted and lodged in the jail. But the jailer got hot to be lodged in her twat, and so Gail made the bail with her tail.
decimation: "Economic Modeling Specialists Intl. recently estimated that twice as many law graduates pass the bar exam as there are job openings for them. In other words, every year U.S. law schools churn out about 25,000 ?surplus? lawyers, many of whom are in debt.
A large number of them go to law school with an ambition to enter politics someday. "
decimation: any wannabe lawyer who finds the bar exam to be too difficult to pass doesn't deserve to be
a lawyer
mircea_popescu: decimation> I can see why default is the most attractive option here << it is quite as the local elite presents it,
a matter of "fuck you or else we might as well go home."
decimation: so the Fed "prints" dollars, loans them to New York Banks, the banks loan the printed dollars to Argentina, Argentina wants
a better deal, Argentina decides not to pay, and now the Supreme court 'upholds' that the US court finds that Argentina must repay the printed dollars loaned to the banks loaned to Argentina?
BingoBoingo: ;;later tell jborkl not in
a spammy way, but in
a different sort of way you need to know about

a pluging behaving badly...

a million dollars ...
BingoBoingo: The20YearIRCloud: Isn't MegaMillions
a lottery game?
nam-shub: does anyone want
a link to MP's piece on Argentinian Default?
mircea_popescu: also, this is well disputed in the logs. they dont "fall under ny jurisdiction because they were issued in ny". they specifically say they do, because of
a previous default.
jwSchool: think they just repealed
a law that outlawed it
The20YearIRCloud: I don't understand why they issued debt through new york, unless they had to be approved in
a US state in order to sell it here
decimation: "
A U.S. District Court has ruled that Argentina can't pay holders of restructured bonds until it compensates the holdouts, who have sued for full payment on bonds the country defaulted on in 2001. Some investors accepted discounted bonds in restructurings in 2005 and 2010. The bonds fall under New York jurisdiction because they were issued in New York."
gribble: Error: "baseball,NLRookieoftheYear" is not
a valid command.
pete_dushenski: ben_vulpes: <mircea_popescu> ben_vulpes i was expecting
a lot more obvious drunkedness tbh. but sober ? maybe you should write
a book. << book? what book. "hey. tits? they're worth 0.1 btc now, which i'll hold for you indefinitely. let's tits. tits everyone? great." << precisely. why book when you can blog?
pete_dushenski: contravex, for those who care, is
a riff off convex, as in convex payoffs, à la taleb.
pete_dushenski: "I was
a bitcoin skeptic, but Stellar might just get me excited about cryptocurrency." -Twitter broad
mircea_popescu: buy em for so's bday. "honey, i got you an ecological hermine. it's

a new hedge fund

a "school" that held
a bunch of missiles.
