trinque: mircea_popescu: that's basically what I was thinking in terms of
a p2p filesharing app recently
benkay: in other news, i've learned that having the hairline trimmed into symmetry is
a horrible idea.
davout: as
a sidenote, the whole "service is shitty, but it's fast!" has been
a thing in france for the last 20 years
BingoBoingo: Shame
a real country like Algeria couldn't eliminate France
chetty: Many people would rather inflict pain on themselves than spend 15 minutes in
a room with nothing to do but think
mircea_popescu: mike_c i suspect that's perhaps stretching
a point. rota judges did make
a salary, and had
a deeply vested interest in making th emodel work.
davout: i mean it makes no sense to try and decide whether secrecy is
a better model than non-secrecy
mircea_popescu: suppose there's an apple tree and
a potato. now, you ask me how is
a pomme better than
a pomme du terre. nfi man, i just know they're opposite.
mike_c: rota did not need to decide things for the good of rota. bitbet has
a vested interest in making good decisions.
davout: but there's also the "make
a sovereign decision about the resolution conditions uncertainty that came to light after acceptation but before resoltuion"
davout: i think that in essence, bitbet and the rota have
a lot in common
mircea_popescu: or like
a computer refusing to multiply anything by 548791114
chetty: ah but that would be like refusing to bake
a gay wedding cake, not allowed
davout: no, that would translate to quit being
a plumber, not refuse to serve
a particular client because you don't have the correct tools or qualifications
Mats_cd03:
a jury that can nullify judgments then
mircea_popescu: random fuckwit that can't afford
a 400 dollar swimsuit isn't free to "change the way society regards women"
Mats_cd03: so youŕe saying bitbet needs
a jury
mircea_popescu: army captain ordered to hold
a position isn't allowed to change the regimental deployment
mircea_popescu: the guy you hire to do your plumbing isn't allowed to recommend you buy
a different house
mircea_popescu: but you understand the general principle of limited review ? such that
a judge isn't at liberty to vacate the law for instance.
☟︎ davout: fair enough :-) i'm thinking that "not his place to realise such
a thing." is side-stepping the issue, and also not
Naphex: from their PoV anyone who gives
a shit about privacy will be an extremist
davout: as in,
a price has been paid
mircea_popescu: but it seems quite certain
a price was in fact paid, currently.
mircea_popescu: if you got
a group saying "the sea is blue" and another "the sky is azure" this isn't
a legitimate dispute. they're not talking of the same thing.
davout:
a dispute about the auction price being >x or <x ?
mircea_popescu: that as long as there's
a dispute,
a bet doesn't get cancelled.
davout: what's
a legitimate dispute ?
davout: "no case will ever be successfully made for cancellation as long as
a legitimate dispute exists."
mircea_popescu: no case will ever be successfully made for cancellation as long as
a legitimate dispute exists.
davout: i think that
a reasonable case can be made for cancellation
davout: you cannot perfectly specify
a bet, no matter how many pages of specs you write
davout: i think my broader point is that since you don't know what you don't know, it makes sense to define
a way to clarify propositions along the way, lest you end up with some rota v2
mike_c: doesn't help to add
a 10 page rider to every bet
davout: mircea_popescu: "pankkake but whatever he thought then, right ? i mean suppose
a girl invites him over and he THINKS it's for to fuck." <<< if you reason like this, then you should rename it to bitchbet
davout: i'm not paying 1% for
a private bet between you and me
davout: the internet sez you're
a cutie!
mircea_popescu: Also, newsflash, I can call this rock that I am about to throw
a 'club', yet it wont feel like one when it hits your face.
mircea_popescu: it's about
a year out of date by now, if you're looking for something to do
gribble: You rated user ognasty on Fri Jun 13 17:07:59 2014, with
a rating of -1, and supplied these additional notes: pirate shill ; currently running
a security that made
a 60% loss over two years.
a fine example of the scum that unwarrantedly imagines itself somehow part of Bitcoin..
mircea_popescu: "We American women think of the swarthy type as
a dark-skinned (not black), exotic, intense type of man."
benkay: "In short, Italian men are swarthy. And when someone says that, it's usually not with
a shudder, but
a shiver.
benkay: i am
a swarthy boy, but not actually black.
benkay: i think i'm going to get
a "don't tread on me" tattoo
Dalrymple: I met one person who would look for gullibles and offer to loan them some equipment and oversee their grow, it meant he'd get
a cut and it wouldn't take place on his property, also he knew the connects to sell it in bulk
kakobrekla: and they dont give fuck for losing
a few kw
kakobrekla: i know for
a fact that they lose megawatts in the air here
Dalrymple: In the UK
a lot of people are caught due to stealing power
Dalrymple: Weed has
a high profit margin, which probably increases in proportion to the crapness of tv and the sugar content of junk food
kakobrekla: <Dalrymple> The boss was
a disgusting she-prole who I later learned is
a drug dealer, she was trying to get me in on it - ordering LCD panels from China < you can get addicted to ordering panels from china!?
Dalrymple: Gunshot wounds do not
a competent sandwich maker make
Dalrymple: Yet if
a man acted like this the feminists would accuse him of "mansplaining", which proves that they are capable of irritating portmanteaus but oblivious to their own hypocrisy
benkay: When
a woman tells you something is sexist, believe her.
Dalrymple: Thanks, that site was the first one I came across, so obviously I will have
a proper look around for verified sites before I buy anything
benkay: where's ninjashogun when you really need to make
a point...
assbot: ITEX -
a small business community and barter network
Dalrymple: The boss was
a disgusting she-prole who I later learned is
a drug dealer, she was trying to get me in on it - ordering LCD panels from China to use on indoor maurijuana crops
Dalrymple: It's funny actually, I have capital to spare on something like this due to finally receiving unpaid wages from my last job. I was working in
a computer repair shop -
benkay: sounds like
a good deal, Dalrymple - what's your outlet?
benkay: nobody in here's going to argue that btc are
a bad buy, even at 5k/each.
Dalrymple: I am totally new to this but it seems like
a pretty secure investment
Dalrymple: I've been doing some research and am considering buying
a coin since it seems from what I have read the price is due to go up soon
mircea_popescu: so today being
a week since S.WOL floated, mike and i each got 2`250`000 shares deposited.
mike_c: and yet can be
a convience in some situations. which is why i like having multiple options.
pankkake: and you won't have
a copy of your sent message in your email client, etc.
mircea_popescu: i have no idea how could one be more offensively impolite than making
a contact page and then putting in
a form.
mircea_popescu: ians realize the dollar system is not in their interest, and they are going to leave it. . . . If any significant part of the world stops using the dollar, the price of the dollar falls because demand for dollars falls, and the import cost for America would rise. When you see how import dependent we are, it would mean
a substantial rise in the real cost of living for most Americans.”
mircea_popescu: On the steep drop in GDP growth of
a paltry .1% in the first quarter, Dr. Roberts says, “What I find most amusing about this is they had to claim some real growth in the first quarter; so, they eked out .1%. Now we know they got that by rigging the inflation number they used to deflate the gross domestic product (GDP). The real GDP in the first quarter, properly deflated, was negative and probably also in the fourt
mircea_popescu: actually i'm kind-of surprised nobody has yet made
a bitcoind/bitcoin-qt which takes
a few out of every tx and sends it to author.
benkay: yeah but in the open market i can say things like 'o hey mpoe will probably be worth quite
a bit in the future." and play based on that.
mircea_popescu: benkay this has the advantage that it's
a provably fair stochastic process.
mike_c: jurov: your most is
a very small sample size
benkay: ugh open markets are about as stochastically bouncy
a thing as i want my money anywhere near
mike_c: benkay: it is
a secret plot to give bingo all the ATC
