a general rule
mike_c: in my brief mining career i blew out
a PSU. mining is such
a wretched activity.
RSM: no, but they scrapped the internal PSU and are usuing offshelf already ceritifed PSU's now. So we're hopping they can do waht KNC did with Jupiters from recieving chips to shipping within

a 40% chance you'll steal all the coin
Mats_cd03: crystallized something i have felt for

mircea_popescu: can senator trying to curb anonymity there's going to be
a Scandinavian cyberpirate who will come up with
a workaround, and only one of them knows how to code. Besides, there's no power in abolishing anonymity, the power is in giving everyone the pretense of anonymity while secretly retaining the PGP keys to the kingdom.
mircea_popescu: "This cover story details #young #vulnerable #feminist writer Amanda Hess's frustration with disinterested male law enforcement when, after writing an article about receiving rape threats from
a troll, she received rape threats from
a troll."
justusranvier: As long as you've got
a buyer hidden somewhere with (effectively) infinately-deep pockets, then they can just put out RFQs and let it appear as if the "free market" has spontaneously formed an industry.
justusranvier: mircea_popescu: As you said, the business model on it's face is retarded. There's no way it could legitimately generate
a profit.
mircea_popescu: justusranvier but that's your theory. i am
a businessman, i read what's written.
punkman: it would be
a perfectly fine business model if they'd make some money from their crappy ads
mircea_popescu: According to
a TechCrunch article, Zuckerberg's vision for Internet.org was as follows: "The idea, he said, is to develop
a group of basic internet services that would be free of charge to use – '
a 911 for the internet.' These could be
a social networking service like Facebook,
a messaging service, maybe search and other things like weather. Providing
a bundle of these free of charge to users will work like
a gateway
mircea_popescu: yesterday i had
a girl over, and the local girl and the new girl managed the use of the kitchen together.
justusranvier: Marriage: party
A provides resources. Party B provides certainty of genetic lineage.
justusranvier: If
a contract is fully specified in some tangible form, then the amount of entropy in the explaination is inversely proportional to the simpleness.

mircea_popescu: pankkake: author of the article kills himself, 6 bullets in the head << 6 mysterious bullets to the head that'll make you believe there's
a god ?
mircea_popescu: "It’s like putting
a disturbed, isolated teenager in front of violent first-person shooter video games all day. If we know that most Americans are scared to invest in their own future, what’s the reason to fuel that fear even further? Sadism? Or just plain exploitative greed?”"
mircea_popescu: “The reason why this bothers me is twofold – first, it frightens investors into making poor decisions – big decisions that will have
a major impact on their mental health and financial condition well into the future. Second, the more we see this kind of pornography, the more likely it is to have an impact on crowd psychology and become
a self-fulfilling prophecy. "
mircea_popescu: "Here’s
a look at the chart comparing point moves and percentage moves. On
a percentage basis, this spooky comparison doesn’t look quite so frightful."

a Bunch of Nonsense - MoneyBeat - WSJ
ThickAsThieves: "I was an idiot and assumed that the "random" button on brainwallet.org was truly random, but it clearly is not. My coins were taken by someone who is clearly smarter than myself and this is completely my fault by creating Bitcoin addresses on
a website that I assumed was safe. There's
a $20k life lesson that I'll never forget, that's for sure. Also, to elaborate, I did not use the
mike_c: well, they made money on
a fiat basis :D
mike_c: it's not even
a share of s.mg. it's
a share of
a unit of havelol's smg fund. but the discount is counterparty, plus the difference of havelock investor opinion vs. mpex investor opinion (or IQ).
mircea_popescu: mike_c havelock share of s.mg is worth 54% of

a living writing books ? and you know how it wasn't long before all books were blogs and whatnot ?

a male twink escort.
mircea_popescu: "Young male founders must all be drinking the same Soylent. Either that or they have
a hard time…" USING THE NOGGIN ?
mike_c: netflix is doing good original content. it's
a new HBO.
mircea_popescu: pankkake: moiety: encrypted wallet.dat on dropbox is certainly more secure - actually I can't find any drawback in terms of security or privacy << stock "encrypted" wallet leaks
a lot of metadata.
ThickAsThieves: hilarious, now media says SELL! "Barclays has given Netflix an Underweight rating, with
a price target of $390, which is around 11% lower than its current stock price."
ThickAsThieves: <+BingoBoingo> #BITCOIN-ASSETS: All Cans, No String /// sounds like

kakobrekla: >due to my affiliation with something that could be irrationally misconstrued as
a security < got that shit right.
kakobrekla: >I'm not unable. I'm unwilling. There is
a difference. I won't bother you with details of licenses and fiduciary duties, blah, blah, blah... Instead I will just say that any recommendation I gave could be viewed as
a conflict of interest due to my affiliation with something that could be irrationally misconstrued as
a security. Therefore, I am not willing to give you
a recommendation on
a specific investment, only to educate you so th
ThickAsThieves: The stock was priced near the top of its range at $24
a share and quickly rose to $30 in early trading, meaning the company is worth
a little more than $3 billion.
