punkman: "
a personalistic culture in which people have actively lost trust in big institutions. Strangers don’t seem especially risky by comparison. This is fertile ground for peer-to-peer commerce."
ThickAsThieves: so GS comes in and calls an overbought/overpriced stock
a BUY, and the whole market follows along?
mike_c: it's going to be embarrassing if reddit finds out the price before b-
a.
pankkake: the translation changed the title though, it's
a question
thestringpuller: cazalla: Only if there is
a ton of lag and gribble gets more auth request
kakobrekla: >PAYPAL: You can use the donate button to raise money for
a sick cat, but not poor people.
pankkake: re. the rolex, some years ago some apparently famous French guy whose name I forgot said if by 50 you had no Rolex, your life was
a failure
decimation: I agree with your point, I'm just trying to build up
a case that the other side makes
decimation: alright,
a significant number have the skills, perhaps
a majority
decimation: like guessing the number of marbles in an urn or the weight of
a stone, etc
BingoBoingo: TheNewDeal: To contribute the
a better price signal than 2cans and string
decimation: asciilifeform: more Carlyle: "Statistics is
a science which ought to be honourable, the basis of many most important sciences; but it is not to be carried on by steam, this science, any more than others are;
a wise head is requisite for carrying it on. Conclusive facts are inseparable from inconclusive except by
a head that already understands and knows."
BingoBoingo: TheNewDeal: Sell at $10,000/BTC for half of
a Bitcoin
gribble: Error: '$5000' is not
a valid price input.
jonvaage: What's the phrase? Sometimes
a person's sole purpose in life is to serve as
a warning to others.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Well thanks to Cex.io Bitcoin seems largely stuck in
a phase like that nao. I think persistent steady states are mythical beings though.
BingoBoingo: Without Pirate impoverishing idiots I dunno if hitting $20
a second time would have been possible.
jonvaage: Structural engineering grad student, but I've been doing
a lot of technical diagrams for Open Transactions lately.
jonvaage: I'm from Austin, and
a few of my friends recommended this channel and so I got set up with the WoT last night.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Value of tuning fork watch is like value of
a Mazda miata. Not priced ostentatiously, but there is something about the good that afficianados can appreciate.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I only appreciated the difference working at
a watch stand changing batteries in other people's machines.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Actual smooth movement of the second hand. The lack of such
a thing is why I tend to pluck the second hand off of many watches.
BingoBoingo: Of course, but aesthetics can justify
a lot of things. Atomic clocks aren't that expensive, but not wrist portable. Quartz an dmechanical movements alike have become sweat shop products. The tuning fork electromechanical stuff though has to be sought out as it lost
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: My desire for tuning for watch is timekeeping purposes and aesthetics. It is
a technology that should have continued instead of fading as it did.
BingoBoingo: On my list of things to own eventually list is
a Bulova with the "tuning fork" movement.
BingoBoingo: <ninjashogun> 6) I will buy
a suit,
a used Rolex submariner, and travel and meet with
a respected VC I have
a warm intro to. (This part is secret and
a bit embarrassing, let's not pastebin it) << Why the fuck is the Rolex anything resembling necessary
bloctoc_: the graphics setup is pretty sweet thought. I assume it's so he can build
a kick ass flying horse for eulora?
RainMan28: I can't purchase
a suit or
a desktop computer, please trust me with your $30,000
bloctoc_: If ninja shogun was really
a good steward of investor funds, he would ask for
a used suit instead of new.
bloctoc_: If I ever put together an investor deck (which I won't) I swear to assbot that I will ask for
a "new suit and used rolex submariner"
RainMan28: yeah, for anyone wanting the tl;dr version, ninjashogun has been soliciting
a $30,000 investment daily in bitcoin-otc for the past few days and doesn't seem to be who he says he is. Maybe just
a scammer, but maybe something other than that too. Not sure.
gribble: Error: I am not seeing this user on IRC. If you want information about
a registered gpg user, try the 'gpg info' command instead.
benkay: ;;later tell RainMan28 next time send me
a pm, i'll read it when i get back
cazalla: but i played soccer as
a kid not to mention the fact australia only returned to the cup since 06 so the past 3 have been enjoyable
cazalla: gee that was
a close ending
gribble: Error: You haven't asked me
a command; perhaps you want to see someone else's more. To do so, call this command with that person's nick.
BingoBoingo: cgcardona: The thing about "equity" work is that even if they become big, on the route to becoming big they will prolly find ways to dillute their eariler payments of equity
a la Dogecoin
xmj: cgcardona: (it went so far that France sent
a plane carrier along with the accompanying ships)
xmj: cgcardona: leading to
a massive outflow
benkay: this client's not
a bad client, they just hired some bad devs in the past.
benkay: hah yeah, that's
a decent approach.
xmj: cgcardona: the problem with the US government setting the gold price that at first, having gold priced way over market rates, that created
a huge inflow as everyone scrambled to sell gold to the USG at inflated prices
gribble: Error: '$5k/BTC' is not
a valid price input.
benkay: it's time for
a RAGEBIKE
benkay: and if they want
a thing that works its going to cost them 15 next year.
benkay: it's
a shame, as they spent 10k on just upgrading this shitstack to django 1.not-quite-current
benkay: "hey your previous developers left
a great big fuck off steaming pile of shit on the floor of your production instance. it's going to take me
a while to clean it up. you'll pay."
Mats_cd03: unfucking something you didn't do is
a low circle of hell
benkay: it's far better than the corrupted vcs repositories on this staging and production server
a client handed to me
ziggamon: figured i’d finally say hi :) creeped here
a few times, been reading some of your blogs for
a while
benkay: what, are you astride
a small keg?
benkay: mp_on_a_pony: how's laptop on
a horse?
xmj: ThickAsThieves: do you know your history, in particular what happened after the us govt set
a price for gold in the 30s -- and the opposite, in the late 60s early 70s?
rithm: or is it
a press release
cgcardona: who exactly will announce
a price? surely not the USMS right? wouldn't it be barry and/or another bidder?
rithm: set your asks for "the moon" and kick back and drink
a beer?
rithm: oh shit i'm
a vetted candidate and i know how to mine
mthreat: ThickAsThieves: is that
a mining operation?
ThickAsThieves: LakeBTC has
a lower rate than the rest, they be gaming dat index
cgcardona: it's really great. but… its
a small island
cgcardona: yep - in fact that's why I came here originally in 1999. to camp out for
a month over new years 2000 in kalalau
cgcardona: yea. we were planning on doing 6 months on island but my wife isn't diggint it here too much this time so we're headed out
a month early
cgcardona: Figured this would be as good
a place as any to get some insight into the unfolding of the auction
bitcoinpete: ThickAsThieves: did
a gypsy with money braided in her hair tell you that?
TomServo: Ah - I thought you were implying it wasn't and there was
a chance it could go the other way.
mike_c: it'll be
a kick in the pants if diff is back under 14bn on bastille day.
bitcoinpete: "Most importantly, if they persist too long, ultra-low rates could validate and entrench
a highly undesirable type of equilibrium – one of high debt, low interest rates and anaemic growth."
bitcoinpete: 2.0:
a euphemism for pre-mined pumps and dumps
bitcoinpete: most people have the day off because tmrw is
a holiday for canada day
bitcoinpete: bitstein: quite nicely, it's
a beautiful, quiet day here
mike_c: "The chart is
a chart of how much chart there is." << lol
BingoBoingo: "When you just put institutional investors in
a pool that excludes high-frequency traders, they have
a hard time trading with each other. There's not, it turns out, all that much natural liquidity." << This
