mike_c: ah. i did for myself and googled
benkay: i go for coffe, she informs me that this air pot is empty
dexX7: i have no idea how it works under the hood
wao-ender: v0v, i'm there! so social
Apocalyptic: <dexX7> somewhere in the reddit comments they said there will be some kind of authentification // well if someone regged the u/* entry i wonder how can they claim it back
wao-ender: i'm totally supporting them
deadweasel: DrGregMullface was so funny that I'm now getting 502 for the forums.
mike_c: i wish there were a one stop shop where i could find a veterinarian, a therapist, and a hedge fund manager.
dexX7: good thing that i use ghostery + adblock
thestringpuller: i thought by now it went the way of geocities
Neil: I worked there once.
mircea_popescu: i dunno, i suppose goldman sachs' ll run it.
jurov: Neil i'll hire mercenaries and go to timisoara to take it over
mircea_popescu: god forbid i ever get cancer, the doctors will have a fucking handful with me
mircea_popescu: i don't buy "sorta" solutions.
mircea_popescu: either it solves the problem and then i buy it, or else it does not and then i do not buy it.
mircea_popescu: i don't care that it's "somewhat better".
mircea_popescu: i will never, under any circumstances and for any reason use https as if it were secure.
mircea_popescu: not really that much closer i dont think
Neil: I could fly to Romania too!
Neil: I would if sending > 5 BTC
mike_c: you are. i believe mitm is the most popular way to attack https.
Neil: https makes it *much* harder unless I'm missing something.
mircea_popescu: Neil what, i'm not telling them to be mitm'd.
Neil: I'd feel much better if that bit were https
mike_c: ^ i have wondered about that.
Neil: I wonder how long until a bitbet user suffers a MITM attack on the send-to address display
Neil: mike_c: coz you think you know better I suspect.
Neil: Yes, to some extent the other side will come in to make up the odds (witness the recent CME bets) but there's still some friction. The large CME bets were ballsy and I guess should be worse than evens but an equal amount to the opening bet hasn't come in yet.
mircea_popescu: but i meant specifically the guy's concern re calculating final odds
mircea_popescu: in that it's quite safe to go "i bet x btc on this and expect the other side to work out the odds"
mircea_popescu: Neil tbh it always was pretty well arbed, in the sense that i occasionally try taking one side and i have yet to come to a situation where i wasn't covered properly by the other side
Neil: I'll always accept bitcoin, if only to bet on bitbet
Neil: mircea_popescu: Great. I'd have thought (apart from signatures) the site it automated, including transaction generation. I guess someone corrected it?
mircea_popescu: and so here i am, lvl 60, one hitting lvl 6 mobs with my DOT
mircea_popescu: i dunno dood, my wp doesn't suck
mircea_popescu: i left her a comment ☟︎
mircea_popescu: i was gonna let her know we were just talking about her.
nubbins`: ...i didn't think you could put them together like that
nubbins`: i know all those words, but...
mircea_popescu: i thought that was genetically impossible
ThickAsThieves: "I have sworn not to write the name of the island where Roger Ver is currently residing, the reason being that he fears for his life."
mircea_popescu: <Diablo-D3> I dont find jokes funny. << lol
Diablo-D3: I dont find jokes funny.
ninjashogun: The main reason I ask here is because it is people who are technical (almost by definition), have early vision and interest (almost by definition) and in many cases have enough funds that they can consider helping me on such a basis. Some people ahve been interested but the amount is too larger for them, I understand but that is nto the kind of person I'm lookiing for.
ninjashogun: So, it was not people, it was one person, and he didn't leave but continues to express 'definite' interest (we've prepared loan paperwork, etc). I!ve pressed several times for a firm closure and he's repeated definite interest (instead of taking the chance to say, look, it's not that interesting to him)
nubbins`: i guarantee it
ninjashogun: I am looking for something similar to what I found before, which is someone who is interested in exploring the idea with me and would do so without necessarily having any big personal interest in it, other than obviously not losing money on it.
ninjashogun: No, I do not argue it's in anyone's best interest, absolutely not.
ninjashogun: It's not an "idea', first of all, I'm working on a company that was founded mroe than a year ago and has assigned IP as well as fullz developed prototypes that prove concept, using vision, some robotics elements, arduino, etc.
nubbins`: i'm not asking you for a wheelbarrow of cash
ninjashogun: (those are just two examples of the tech I've used.)
ninjashogun: nubbins`, that's not true. I guarantee 100% that there are people int his channel who know what vision algorithms are, and what electronics engineering and embedded programmigng are. 100% guaranteed.
ThickAsThieves: loans for convenience are okay i guess
ninjashogun: nubbins` - fair enough. I've personally developed the proof of concept using vision software as well as embedded electronics with an arduino
ninjashogun: it's the same thing - something marketable that needs something up-front. You can't just ask people to speculate, you should extend the possibility of a loan to cover information asymmetry and personal responsibiilty. I wouldn't be gamblign with otehr people's money
nubbins`: because i have no reason to believe that you're capable of anything besides hanging around here and bumming for money
ninjashogun: (which is what I've been looking for 3-4 weeks since receiving angel demo invites)
nubbins`: TBH i don't think they should give loans for degrees/diplomas in navel gazing
asciilifeform: but i'm curious why.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu would appear to be right, none of the traditional 'bubbling of rebellion' is happening, as far as i can see
asciilifeform: how do you know they will << hey don't look at me, i'm not their lenin. naturally i don't know. but historical parallels.
asciilifeform: (for the nitpickers, notice that i said 'profit!1!!1', not 'profit.')
mircea_popescu: a two tone brochure i can have made in a half hour
mircea_popescu: gimme something i can use
mircea_popescu: i'd love nothing more than contact with a large club of street people, but these muppets ain't it.
mircea_popescu: "Love what your doing but I see you do not send to the UK. My company are about to leash a few ATMs on the UK and would love to get a hold of perhaps your ai or pdf so I could print some off to give to everyone who is attending our launch in Feb."
chetty_: I gave up reading about it, its all disinfo anyway, I just liked that headline
chetty_: I'll hang you by the balls and have you f***ed' – Ukrainian presidential hopeful abducts pro-Russian MP
mircea_popescu: i'll trade ya http://25.media.tumblr.com/21b2acb5bf1b8edc7b9633e6ee0acc72/tumblr_mqayfocu1s1rg2jxoo1_1280.jpg
asciilifeform: i meant - of the boatgirls.
asciilifeform: if starving boat grls, where the hell are the jacqueries, i ask.
CheckDavid: I see. Because I guess banks wouldn't care that much
moiety: cazalla: i think you guys have certain degrees that never get fees at all, like nursing, right? bursary instead to get people to do it
asciilifeform: 'Having bits of the landscape disappear can be a rude surprise. One summer I arrived in St. Petersburg and found that a new scourge had descended on the land while I was gone: a lot of manhole covers were mysteriously missing. Nobody knew where they went or who profited from their removal. One guess was that the municipal workers, who hadn't been paid in months, took them home with them, to be returned once the
moiety: i know a guy who was trying to flirt with a girl a few years ago by giving her some bitcoins.... she contacted him when they hit $1k to tell him, she paid for her college tuition with them :)
cazalla: shipped to china like all the copper that gets knocked off i guess?
cazalla: tx fee i think he means
mircea_popescu: Neil i don't think it akes any fee does it ?
moiety: i would bite your hand off to go to uni ... but in my own time. worked since 14. it doesn't make you less of a person at all, they just like you to think so
cazalla: i'm a high school drop out, my brother has a degree (medicinal chemistry)
moiety: i know one guy who did Politics, then Mental Health Nursing and now plans on a Philosophy degree
Neil: mircea_popescu: I don't remember you taking a 1% fee on such cancellations before on Bitbet.
Neil: Yeah that kuka thing was a letdown. I was looking forward to having sthg interesting to watch when I got back home.
mircea_popescu: i think i spend that much on stockings
mircea_popescu: i closed the internal investigation without prejudice.
mircea_popescu: i dunno dood. they seemed reasonably sane to begin with, german robotics maker with 1 bn in revenue worldwide
cazalla: i don't know whether to feel stupid for being duped by kuka or whether i should've known better
mircea_popescu: asocial i guess
nubbins`: i prefer the term antisocial media for trees/teevees
BingoBoingo: I moved out
mircea_popescu: i'd rate it postdoctoral level.

mircea_popescu: well... this leviticus is one i could get behind
nubbins`: i actually won't try those sayings
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla hahaha i guess you caught me
mircea_popescu: benkay for instance i hate the durex brand because not only they fit much too tightly, but uber-retarded wrapping.
nubbins`: i dare ya
mircea_popescu: nubbins` yeah i was thinking, who the fuck makes round wrappers
mircea_popescu: i suppose the kids that don't get any panties for five weeks running are going to be gelded
