mircea_popescu: if it were going to work, fiat-based intl merchants wouldn't have such
a fucking headache.
assbot: How to fail gracefully as
a Bitcoin business
mircea_popescu: i thought it was mostly forgotten as
a legal term cca 1898 or something
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: I still use DCE when drawing up an MoU for
a freelancer in another country
punkman: Fun fact: out of 10310 bitbets, only 313 have lost money betting on the winning side, and only 100 of those had
a weight of 10k
☟︎ fluffypony: still
a better post than Jimmothy's comment on GPG
nubbins`: unlike
a barber shop, where you can come in the next day for
a free tune-up if you don't like what they've done
nubbins`: me going to
a barber for
a haircut would make as much sense as going to
a restaurant for
a bowl of cereal
mircea_popescu: nubbins` sucks his own cock, eats his own cooking, he's
a solipsist.
punkman: Naphex, I cut them myself last couple of times, with
a little help from the girl, since the barber is not around
Naphex: you don't have to pay attention and maybe you get
a sweet skull massage :)
assbot: » Supreme Court Agrees to Rule On Limiting First Amendment Alex Jones' Infowars: There's
a war on for your mind!

a good pedicure, now I need
a haircut
fluffypony: if someone gets the source code working I'll gladly throw it on
a box
pankkake: I've done all my altcoins with simple
A records I updated myself
mike_c: well that sounds like
a nice enhancement eventually
fluffypony: it's
a round-robin list that's dynamically refreshed on an ongoing basis
☟︎ bitcoinpete: they're basically driving
a kia across north america to "raise awareness"
nubbins`: "they" generally works but would sound odd in
a group setting
chetty: re:redskins decision// que the counterfeit everything, trademarks just became
a joke
nubbins`: oh and hey, did you say you wanted the #b-
a / freenode text on the back?
nubbins`: thestringpuller: sorry, was waiting

thestringpuller: nubbins`: do you have
a tracking number for the shirt btw?
nubbins`: "
a woman in her 20s that spends her life"
ThickAsThieves: <+mircea_popescu> incidentally, what's the us black slang to denote
a woman in her 20s that spends her life naked in the household of some local lord / trap star ? /// gold digger, groupie, slut -- i'm not sure proper word exists, not that this is even
a common thing
ThickAsThieves: <+mircea_popescu> ThickAsThieves you need
a comment permalink ///hrm, i'm not sure how to enable such ... ?
cazalla: he bought me
a he-man for my 7th birthday party
cazalla: i actually played with
a pro, he got dumped from the aussie team this world cup though
cazalla: that's
a memory i have too.. i use to play soccer, cherished the ribbons and trophies, figured out you could buy yourself the biggest and engrave anything for doing nothing killed the motivation to play
BingoBoingo: I think one of the most important moments of my development was when as
a child I learned the trophie store is an actual place
BingoBoingo: I wouldn't know how. My fumbling attemps at mining never met going to
a pool
BingoBoingo: I do this pretty much as I mention in the statements. It's
a thing... I do it. I'll offer
a range of more than most actual work the lowest performing civil servants do, but still less than nubbins` when he is in extreme focused art mode. (I estimate that to be between 0 and all of the hours in
a week)
Naphex: how are you likeing it doing it as
a full time job?
BingoBoingo: Naphex: I'm trading by hand so any moves into fiat occur only when I'm awake and ready to put in
a lower bid very soon after fulfillment. << As this in in the chan it is an official disclosure. Nao.. Good luck figuring out my sleep wake cycle... if there is
a discernable one.
BingoBoingo: Naphex: It depends on how the book looks. I'll prolly announce the June or July statement if I've moved into that pairing or not, pending consultation with the general manager. I'll watch at for least weeks, emphasis plural, before making
a decision.
punkman: now it tells me when I've already bet on
a proposition and calculates the total along with hypothetical bets. Handy for topping up
a bet
ansc: interesting that the odds are so much in favor of btc with brk/
a trading @189k
BingoBoingo: Mats_cd03: Douches are good, they are
a force for cleansing
BingoBoingo:
A and B are indistiguishable at x,y because they do the same thing at that point.
mircea_popescu: so it may be
a clueless noob that got
a GREAT webhosting offer
mircea_popescu: on one hand, the slipped up theory is convincing. on the other hand, the sort of scammer/internet fraudster depicted often tries to run
a hosting business on the side
mircea_popescu: anarkitty. hey, this creates
a new usecase for gribble. leave
a note for osmeone, remember their name.
fluffypony: the dude seems like
a reasonable guy, he's very open about that and the appliance thing being fiat businesses, but I think he's struggling to find anyone around him willing to invest because, hey, porn site
mircea_popescu: that's
a year or two old by now. perhaps things changed. not sure why they would have.
mircea_popescu: ;;rate fluffypony 2 Businessman that now owes me
a steak.
gribble: You rated user fluffypony on Mon May 26 08:18:51 2014, with
a rating of 1, and supplied these additional notes: I don't know him but his wife sends me selfies..
BingoBoingo: Bash hasn't updated in
a while... is it on Mats_cd03's no poop pills?
mircea_popescu: up until you realise some total dork took
a line off lovercraft, as-is.
mircea_popescu: Yiannis Chrysanthou,
a security researcher who recently completed his MSc thesis on modern password cracking, was able to crack the password "Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn1."
mircea_popescu: ever want to get
a kickass car ? it's simple : buy
a red jacket and
a cap, sit by the entrance to an expensive restaurant
mircea_popescu: no fucking way am i sharing an account that may well have fiddy million in it with some random guy with
a pony tail in whatever restaurant
fluffypony: and use them online for
a month or two
BingoBoingo: Yeah,
a decent low fee prepaid card is basically
a money condom
mircea_popescu: i never use the cards associated with my various business accounts, ever. but if they came with
a diy kit where i could create my own subcards, preload them and discard them... maybe, just maybe.
mircea_popescu: actually pretty much the only usecase i'm aware of is when you want to do basically the equivalent of issuing yourself
a limited preloaded card.
BingoBoingo: I dunno if even
a Madoff level fraudster makes it as an officer candidate in the Evil Army
mircea_popescu:
a fraudster stands to evil in the relationship an army major stands to the government.
assbot: Doctor Grumpy in the House: 12:07
a.m.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo i wonder how they manage to shoot videos tbh. if i were living the limited lifespan of
a rappar, i couldn't give less of
a shit as to what tv convntions are.
fluffypony:
a pie chart is called
a camembert chart in French?
mircea_popescu: or so common & obvious it really doesn't need
a word for itself
mircea_popescu: incidentally, what's the us black slang to denote
a woman in her 20s that spends her life naked in the household of some local lord / trap star ?
assbot: The Scientific Way to Cut
a Cake - YouTube
mircea_popescu: sure. but nothing cuts itself. evntually you get to
a prime mover.
BingoBoingo: Sorta like the dilema by which Bitcoin is great for
a well lawed and ordered society yet incredibly hostile to regulation
mircea_popescu: so basically society only works for as long as society enforces some sort of equivalent by itself. which is also why there can never be
a society of "laws not men".
mircea_popescu: what
a healthy society needs are lemon laws for speech.
mircea_popescu: the only thing it yields is
a vicious circle of ever decreasing marginal investment in speech
mircea_popescu: this is why, incidentally, giving people
a voice is such
a bad idea.
fluffypony: and apparently "The whole internet is
a web of trust."
fluffypony: will take
a looksie again when I have time
pankkake: I've seen some automated systems to do it, finally. proper comments was the only thing I would miss with
a static blog
BingoBoingo: fluffypony: Just have
a send all comments to X@Y.Z email address
BingoBoingo: How was the borrower agreeing to that not
a red flag that they were
a fake
assbot: I stopped
a ten million dollar robbery - Boing Boing
Apocalyptic: i wouldn't hazard
a guess, too much for sure
mircea_popescu: course this is
a fact people who aren't familiar with atc history probably easily miss.
mircea_popescu: seems the hopper's "optimisation" is nothing but
a dream in their head
mircea_popescu: they used to be 10% earlier this year. then again they used to be 100%
a coupla years ago
mircea_popescu: on top of that there's some... maybe 1-2% by now, amateurs that get to jerkoff to the thought that they're "just as much
a part of bitcoin AS ANYONE"
fluffypony: but it serves no practical purpose as an investment vehicle for those already holding Bitcoin (or who are buying Bitcoin on
a monthly basis with their fiat earnings)
mircea_popescu: rack up the fiat expenses so you don't make
a profit, take the bitcoin home.
