a control tool directed towards the user
mircea_popescu: i'm sitting here building
a system that exists to beat into submission the us congress and it all depends on whether google delists me or not.

pankkake: so you said twice it would take
a week, instead of saying it would take two weeks. smart
mircea_popescu: ok so re mpex : the best news, really. the whole shebang is deployed and actually works, as best as anyone can determine. running
a final swathe of test-all-the-edge-cases which i expect to pass 100%. bar some improbable unforeseenness, mpex should be back this weekend.
thickasthieves: oh you are tricking people by creating
a deceptive currency? that's unfortunate
thickasthieves: "In
a legal market, retail producers and sellers should possess an advantage over the black market," Paul Armentano, deputy director of NORML, said in an email. "They should not be placed at

thickasthieves: basically you buy credits with bitcoin, then in

a hidden threat for *nix web servers
thickasthieves: "Seventy percent of respondents stated that they had received
a regulatory visit which focused on KYC"
thickasthieves: "Some might argue that developing economies cannot afford to be too selective about the sources of capital they attract. But postponing action is dangerous. The more it is deferred, the more entrenched organised crime can become." This is from
a pro-AML article, but it's interesting if you take it out of context to mean any entity (incl government)
☟︎ pankkake: I can tell you most Frenchies have no idea they pay >50%
a year, yet do
chetty: well all the kyc and aml rules make it harder for people to get 'banked' (not saying thats

a question, or do I have to leave now that i've given up the goods?
madeline: is there
a countdown...
a parade...
moiety: i've had
a ploshay-esque face recently, had
a tooth out and took
a reaction. hamster-look was inescapable
mircea_popescu: anyway, worst part of remote camping with
a dozen other people
punkman1: story time: I was at this remote beach camping with
a dozen other people. Family shows up one morning via boat and sets up tents nearby. After
a few hours Old Man approaches us and is like "hey guys can you put away all the dongs, we got kids here" while not being able to take his eyes off all the perky titties splashing in the water.
punkman1: everyone gets
a minute of fame on the internets
BigBitz: hmm we have
a smart one then... using words like loinera and understanding them.
Madeline: Am I really "stripping?" I feel like that technically requires
a linear timelines of clothing removal while dancing... I'm just starting straight from naked.
☟︎ pankkake: (and don't do that for
a living either)
pankkake: Madeline: related to your previous questions about gribble, registering and completing the task will likely get you
a trust rating
mircea_popescu: BigBitz nothin' wrong with

a) nude and b) it's not
a grainy 320x200 px ?

a sweet psych op. they had it all planned and shit. and nao...
fluffypony: pankkake: as far as I'm aware there have been
a bunch of FOIA requests submitted, so it will be made public
mircea_popescu: ;;later tell decimation you'll have to bear in mind knuth was interested in randomness from the perspective of scientific simulation, not from the perspective of cryptography (
a topic he never reasearched or to any degree understood)
mircea_popescu: by the time you've got
a few tbs of rainbow tables you generally also have
a good enough understanding of why exactly whitening doesn't do much.
BingoBoingo: dignork: That people who hold BTC now are capable of buying more if it goes down instead of crying makes
a big difference.
BingoBoingo: And who other than
a govenment would survive doing such
a sell on stamp to colelct their fiat after the Bitstamp anal probe?
gribble: Bitstamp |
A market order to sell 100000 bitcoins right now would net 10818261.1549 USD and would take the last price down to 0.0100 USD, resulting in an average price of 108.1826 USD/BTC. | Data vintage: 39.6821 seconds
BingoBoingo: I have
a feeling the natural end to this debate would be similar to Mircea's debate about wines
BingoBoingo: bayareacoins: That's part of the problem with the price point. I've drank small batch hillbilly made and aged moonshine. Scarcity for its own sake does not guarentee
a premium product
bayareacoins: BingoBoingo good sir, you have
a wonderful night. I'm off to holler at this chick and then pass out.
BingoBoingo: And if I am in
a Whiskey mood how does $2000 for moonshine beat General Grant's favorite old corw at the low end or moiety's people at the high end?
bayareacoins: If you have to ask then you probably don't need to know :D Just know if you ever do want
a bottle of Pappy hit me up :)
bayareacoins: If you ever need
a bottle of Pappy Van Winkle or anything similar to that let me know and I can probably beat markets price

a new blawg post
BingoBoingo: Seems to be going from MP's reports... Just the pain of rebuilding and robusting at the same time is

a 20 yuan note in 3 and holt it upside down maos nose looks like
a 7
BingoBoingo: Luke-Jr: The song of wrath:
A cool perk of Catholicism, or so cool it is the only necessary part?
BingoBoingo: Catholicism does
a lot of shit wrong like Brock style kiddie diddling, but they do some stuff right like giving the memorial service for the dead
a song of wrath
BingoBoingo: dub: I'll still be
a ghost and I'll haunt the shit out of you if you keep up this attitude
benkay: hm this nydfs paper looks like
a suicide note from the usg
BingoBoingo: Also you can make the song of wrath in the requiem pretty badass with some power cords, diminished 5th's and ending the whole thing on
a suspended seventh...
BingoBoingo: So who here hasn't written
a requiem in case "wetware has problems..."
BingoBoingo: Some would say that objection is
a "political objection"
decimation: laster: "Sequences generated in
a deterministic way such as this are often called pseudoranom or quasirandom sequences in the highbrow technical literature, but in most places of this book we shall simply call them random sequences, with the understanding that they only appear to be random. Being "apparently random" is perhaps all that can be said about any random sequence anyway."
decimation: asciilifeform: to quote Knuth on the subject: "There is
a fairly obvious objection to this technique [using arithmetic operations to acquire random numbers]: How can
a sequence generated in such
a way be random, since each number is completely determined by its predecessor? The answer is that the sequence isn't random, but it appears to be. In typical applications the actual relationship between one number and its successor has no
