ThickAsThieves: Alice attempted to prove that its patents were more than just an idea by pointing to the specific software steps that it had to carry out.

mircea_popescu: cause as mike_c says, diff is a mean spirited asshol

mircea_popescu: "We found out that by using a little program that Bitcoin uses, which is actually BitPay, we would have received US dollars," Pietro Frigerio, general manager of the dealership, says in the interview. "It's like if you come into the dealership and you want to buy a Lamborghini using gold bars, we would not accept it. So you'd go out, exchange it, and you'd come back to us. That was how it worked [with the Tesla and the
mircea_popescu: Mats_cd03: assets search engine? already exists << no, it doesn't, because google is doing a shit job of indexing each log page, which my experts establish is because bad titling shceme, but rather than fixing that (as proposed about two weeks ago, it's in the logs, SEARCH FOR IT :D) and hjoping google fills in the holes (which experts say it never does once they're in, no matter what happens), a complete solution is m

mircea_popescu: vendor to fix it but they said 6 to 8 weeks for a patch, and our project deadline is sooner than that. I need to interface with the legacy system because even though the DBAs have ported things over to Oracle, they're still sorting things out and it's not reliable enough for me to make any meaningful progress. Fortunately, I've thought this through and abstracted the data subsystem well enough that I can drop-in repla
mircea_popescu: "I'm compiling a new version of libxml, so I can get the Python parser working. I need to do that because LXML, the Python binding, would crash under heavy load when I used the system default version of libxml. I am using LXML because BeautifulSoup doesn't have support for XPath. I need to do XPath transforms against the input because the legacy system we interact with doesn't send well-formed XML. We tried to get the

mircea_popescu: who the hell is still on origin time after a month in a different timezone i wish to know ?!
mircea_popescu: such a brilliant invention
mike_c: so ThickAsThieves, if you put a nameserver record in your DNS (NS, not an A record) pointing seeds.therealaltcoin.org at the above IP address, we should have seeding.
decimation: a big chunk of corporate 'buyers' would really be happy with a slightly updated wang word processor
decimation: well, a large chunk of "computer" "purchasers" have no idea what the hell they are buying, so I can see why they would do it
TheNewDeal: and somehow they continue to make a profit...
TheNewDeal: here it is punkman, begin your hypothesis test on a fresh bet
decimation: they are automatically considered to be independent contractors even when employed and given a salary.
decimation: whereas real estate agents have a "very special tax status" http://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/real-estate-agent-special-classification-rules-for-independent-contractor-status.html
decimation: "Introduced by Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan, Section 1706 added a subsection (d) to Section 530 of the Revenue Act of 1978, which removed "safe harbor" exception for independent contractor classification (which at the time avoided payroll taxes) for workers such as engineers, designers, drafters, computer professionals, and "similarly skilled" workers."
decimation: if you really want to move about mostly unbothered, I suggest a submarine. Or walk.
decimation: MLAT In some regions with coverage from several FR24-receivers we also calculate positions of aircraft with the help of Multilateration (MLAT), by using a method known as Time Difference of Arrival (TDOA). ... That means that MLAT coverage can only be achieved above about 10000 feet as the probability that signal can be received by four or more receivers increases with increased altitude.
ThickAsThieves: i have a top around there though
TheNewDeal: Dec 14 option for $250 is selling for a premium of 18$
ThickAsThieves: a couple times a year jurov and i give mp a hard time about x.diff design
TheNewDeal: quiz question. If I were on coinbr, and then bought a MPOE account, what would he charge to transfer shares
mike_c: understood. i just see you as a good potential customer for coinbr, so I was trying to dig into why you were hesitant. i think i get it.
mike_c: but even that was better tested. hypothesis was formed before the analysis, not as a result of the analysis.
mike_c: strategy like MPIF's is really based more on a belief about how the system works rather than statistical analysis.
TheNewDeal: 2% is more like a fee for an index fund
TheNewDeal: is there a minimum for password protected bets?
mike_c: heh, yes. "can't" is a strong word.
TheNewDeal: the thing I also like about bitbet is that you can pick off bets that are almost for sure winners, and look for a certain return
TheNewDeal: usually is a tiny percentage of what they manage
mike_c: hm. hedge fund managers get a fee too.
TheNewDeal: I would prefer that he were like a hedge fund manager, making % off your winnings
TheNewDeal: but that would be a waste of money
mike_c: ok. lemme ask this then. if you thought you could get a 20% return on coinbr in a year, would you invest 10 btc?
TheNewDeal: and it's a hedge
TheNewDeal: the return is sitting at ~9% over a 5 month period
TheNewDeal: with NO withdrawls, that has just taken 1/4 of my profits over a year
TheNewDeal: to me, a healthy return over one year (in BTC) would be 10%
TheNewDeal: let me throw out a hypothetical here
TheNewDeal: I would rather earn a sure, small portion, versus risk a lot
TheNewDeal: I'm typically a conservative better
mike_c: k. betting that difficulty won't double in a month is not "betting against diff"
TheNewDeal: mike_c , what I'm saying is that some people don't know how to calculate a good difficulty
mike_c: TheNewDeal: everyone says that because 1) you can't draw a line from previous diff changes to future (see moore's law), and 2) despite this it just keeps marching up.
TheNewDeal: it was a joooke dude
benkay: aaaand i may not even use a cacheing layer at the end of the day
TheNewDeal: tried to make a little hedge bet on with the next change and it backfired in my face
TheNewDeal: or took a big stumble
TheNewDeal: I wouldn't mind if the hash jumped off a cliff right now
BingoBoingo: mike_c: This is a troubling increase in hash
TheNewDeal: yes but this would have been a different situation, as bitcoin was $1000+ at the time
benkay: hang on i may be a few too beers deep to keep track of my +/- axes
benkay: buy a tesla with btc
benkay: wow there's a fucking hack
benkay: anyone with the btc to lay on a tesla can lay the cash on it, and probably more easily.
TheNewDeal: benkay totally confused me for a second there
benkay: they just get a whiff and *blammmo* can't keep 'em off me

TheNewDeal: oooh I pulled a 6 month stint last year
benkay: working with bitcoin stuff makes me want types in a bad way
