BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: no, we're intelligent housewives, not dumb american housewives. << I had
a disappointing lapse into Americanisms today. I timed my return drive poorly and passed the restaurants before they opened. Ended up getting fried chicken livers at the supermarket and eating them as I drove the rest of the way back.
mircea_popescu: no, it was some derp that purported he's commenting on what i did and said and i pointed out to him that before attempting that he needs to pass
a ged.
fluffypony: wasn't he that blogger that had
a tiff with you?
mircea_popescu: "We (Dennis McKinnon, Casey Kuhlman, and Preston Byrne (the Project Ðouglas Dev Team)) do not intend, nor is our proposal designed, to replace or compete with the Bitcoin Foundation. Using traditional forms of organisational governance, the Bitcoin Foundation has played
a critical role in standardising the Bitcoin protocol and encouraging adoption of cryptoprotocols’ use worldwide. We are grateful for its efforts an
mircea_popescu: "of course i own the whole block. i'm in
a booth here aren't i ?!
mircea_popescu: "John (Peter Manglaviti) was essentially the public leader of NxT, he was the one who represented NxT's booth at several public conferences / expos and seminars and he was the man the public dealt with. " << bwahaha. HE WAS IN
A BOOTH!!1
mircea_popescu: <pankkake> IPO
a scamming company: the business model of the company is to create IPO scams << the warrior forum in action lol.
mircea_popescu: <benkay> "blabla" << still not seeing code << they have
a NAME right ? and it has like inclusive specxial characters in it and everything, right ? THEY HAVE TRIED AND NOBODY SHOULD CRITICISE THEM!!!!
mircea_popescu: "Eris --
A ÐAO Framework by Project Ðouglas" ; "This proposal is made in response to
a post on Reddit.com by Olivier Janssens announcing
a bounty of an amount of bitcoin equivalent to USD$100,000"
kakobrekla: ;;rate darlidada 1 for the purpose of #b-
a voice

assbot: BitGo Raises $12 million Series
A http://t.co/7aTKHPZ29r by /PerianneDC via /Forbes Congrats /willobrien /mikebelshe /bendavenport /hashtag/bitcoin?src=hash
pankkake: "Scammers don't bother sending me
a PM trying to get me to send NXT first, with my reputation this deal is BTC first."
pankkake: while you should assume anyone on bitcointalk is
a scammer, you should assume anything altcoin is
a scam - after all, it would only be
a scam in
a scam
darlidada: some guy from nxtforum makes
a post without
a gpg signature
assbot: Big scam in NXT hundreds of BTC stolen with
a one post
benkay: wow it has
a built in bureacracy
bitcoinpete: the bet won't need
a 3rd adjustment before bastille day
mircea_popescu: "I aged
a 107,
a 109A, and
a 109 Export in
a mini-fridge (this one from Avanti) set at 40°F in which I placed
a small desk fan in order to allow air to circulate (I had to cut
a small notch in the sealing strip around the door to allow the fan's cord to pass through), simulating
a dry-aging room on
a small scale. "
mircea_popescu: come to think of it, this is
a passible definition of happiness : the best steak i've had was this year.
mircea_popescu: davout btw, los_pantalones actually had
a decent local steak here
mircea_popescu: los_pantalones
a yes, the guy has
a point as to "proper" aging. you can't do sngle steaks
davout: if that's the romanian version of
a tupperware meeting, sure
mircea_popescu: davout you can make
a ham-y thing this way, if you add curing stuff inside, but just by itself it turns to...
mircea_popescu: aging beef in dough is exactly thesame, sans liver (and mushrooms) and with much thicker dough : sear the steak, put it in
a dough envelope, cook this and let it sit.
mircea_popescu: it's not too hard : boil liver, grind it into
a paste with butter and spices ; sear
a steak, cover it in sauteed mushrooms and the liver paste ; make
a dough, put the whole thing in it, seal and oven.
punkman: davout: (and i also wonder how aged beef tastes like, never had it) <- you can let
a steak sit in your fridge
a few days (or more if you are careful), it's usually an improvement
mircea_popescu: in general you have to do
a lot of customisation to make restaurant food fit for human consumption. in their view, serving
a two pound steak with three ounces of sweet potato fried in oil, and then
a pound of chocolate with dulce de leche mixed in is perfectly adequate asd
a meal
davout: also they seem smart enough to serve
a bowl of salad as
a side
mircea_popescu: it literally is like europeans only eat 7yos, and there's
a world of 23 yo bananas out there unbeknownst to them
mircea_popescu: much like you know, you think you know what
a banana tastes like, but you're WRONG. you'll discover the full body of flavour of that fruit once you live in the tropics
davout:
a nice instagram filter would have been largely sufficient
davout: i'd have argued the argentinian version doesn't have
a soul
mircea_popescu: you tell me that you were here, and saw
a local knockoff of
a tin of camembert and you wouldn't have paid the $2.80 to see wtf is in there.
mircea_popescu: also, i am shocked, shocked and appalled i say, that nobody;s said
a word of la gayola
mircea_popescu: you made the vial dood, what do you want from me. when the time to open it comes i'll feed it to
a cat and let you know.
davout: apparently there's no king, bitbet is
a court, in some sort of quantic superposition state
mircea_popescu: you can definitely ask the king to tell you wtf it intends to do. because the king is
a sovereign, and thus an agent, and thus can have intent.
davout: i don't know about other countries, but the law in france has this mechanism where whenever you need clarification on the law from the taxes administration, you can ask them to make
a binding answer
mircea_popescu: davout anyway, this is
a solidly established principle of law, that
a court won't review possibilities and implications,
mircea_popescu: that awkward moment when you write to
a estudio de abogados named X, Y, Z and K and the next morning
a reply awaits from Gonzalez X.
pankkake: I can create
a source for volume info, from the raw trade data
davout: i wouldn't really propose such
a bet
davout: without
a source for the "volume" information, it is not possible to univocally establish (vol > 100)
davout: "First and foremost, statements that can not univocally be established as either true or false at
a certain point in the future are BadBets and as such unacceptable on BitBet."
davout: mircea_popescu: i'm not asking anyone to make me something, i'm asking how the bet resolves, clear resolvability is
a desired property is it not?
mircea_popescu: pankkake because they have
a theory as to what it means.
davout: mircea_popescu: so you're saying there's no way to ask for clarification regarding
a bet wording?
mircea_popescu: davout the supreme court does not offer advisory oppinions. it'll only consider cases where there's
a real controversy.
fluffypony: but since Mono already has
a cross-platform implementation of the CLR
fluffypony: they bolt an FPGA inside
a server to offload specific tasks to it
gribble: Error: "late" is not
a valid command.
pankkake: I have contacted MSD and am providng them with copies of emails in which Ken Slaughter made all sorts of promises to me. I have enough in the correspondence he wrote me to nail him to
a wall.
pankkake: just what I told them months ago, as "why it's
a scam"
FabianB: kakobrekla: can i get
a wiki account for bot documentation?
Mats_cd03: new domain but the site sucks; lots of whitespace to my right on
a 4:3 screen
mircea_popescu: twas kinda dead anyway. us moving to
a new puritan paradigm. gays made it, bdsm-ers did not.
mthreat: bitstein: i'm living in argentina now, so i haven't been around there for
a while
mircea_popescu: so this collarme thing is basically... couple broke up, then the girl's new boyfriend insited on
a contract... quite drama-y
artifexd: ;;later tell kakobrekla Can I get
a wiki account please?
mod6: i've got another change to merge in too,
a bugfix to the time-since-last-block thing too.
mod6: mp: i'll work in
a change so that it'll show bids/asks sub 1000 on the book command, instead of the 0s.
mircea_popescu: artifexd we prolly need
a Bots megapage anyway. so this could go in botlist and then bot commands could be further down the page, as
a list
hanbot: this collarme closure thingie reads like
a slightly more literate (though entirely as retarded) forum ipo pronouncement of lost marbles.
mircea_popescu: artifexd mind putting
a list of bot commands up on the wiki as part of
a "chan bots commands page" ?
mircea_popescu: mind putting
a list of bot commands up on the wiki as part of
a "chan bots commands page" ?
mircea_popescu: someone should put on their blog
a complete guide of all the commands for all the bots
☟︎ mircea_popescu: not
a matter of that dude, it just depends on how the bond is structured. as the bond is structured, so it is reported.
thestringpuller: it seems beneficiary for people to see no? Is that more of
a "Misc"?
kakobrekla: yes but its not
a problem until you are at 50
mircea_popescu: the over 50% that sent todd in
a tizzy was also what's published.
mthreat: <mircea_popescu> ... everything just oriented the same way like it was fucking mecca << it's
a religion... apparently in 1978 when they won the world cup, it was big
a distraction as the government was kidnapping, torturing, and killing 30,000 "desaparecidos".
BingoBoingo: The simplest test for having
a minimal level of participation in this channel is now, when realizing you can't speak can you ask someone online to offer you voice. It's such
a low barrier to entry that... If the Horowitz guy could not solve that problem...
mircea_popescu: <artifexd> I now understand mp's desire to limit []bot's reports in here to bets >= 1BTC. There have been
a lot of bets lately. It would have made for
a lot of noise in here. << :p
kakobrekla: now i have
a problem. how do i describe
a thing that actually is biggest, first, best and so on.
