fluffypony: that score is about whether you're doing things like putting static objects on
a different, cookieless subdomain to improve parallel requests
kakobrekla: yeah did that on stats, on bb is not really
a problem
kakobrekla: i bet you cant do it with
a static html!
mod6: those bets always seem to end up being
a close one.
mod6: then it went down to like 1mn or something for
a few weeks.
jborkl: bitcoinpete , nice - I am trying to keep the data very small and as few requests as possible - under 200kb for
a new visit and around 10 requests and
a half second load time
fluffypony: I have
a friend who ran
a successful Kickstarter
a while back
fluffypony: but either way it still looks like it's better to keep the manufacturing here from
a qualitative and cost perspective
fluffypony: bitcoinpete: the funny thing is I did
a cost analysis of the OpenRigs frames vs. China (at scale) and it ends up being cheaper to manufacture here, but they win on direct shipping costs
thestringpuller: to bail out the mistake makers here if they dig
a hole too deep
thestringpuller: or moreover if they are currently in violation of
a contract they are definitively scammors in that context
BingoBoingo: If you Gox says you have X BTC and can't cover that it's
a scam.
BingoBoingo: thestringpuller: Well, loses without being
a scam are probably possible if they are documented, but generally an obligation that can't be covered is
a scam.
thestringpuller: bitcoinpete: so my idea would be to do what mircea_popescu did but additionally, compare it to the known losses of non scammor companies (i think most losses from non scamming companies have been covered somehow). Thus there is like
a two-side criterion based on BingoBoingo's observation of
a BTC company that incurs losses it can never cover as "scammors"
thestringpuller: bitcoinpete mike_c : It's
a rehash of an old story, but it would be
a neat article if the research is done right.
assbot: 322529 – Upgrade Math.random() to
a better algorithm, such as Mersenne Twister
danielpbarron: I'm waiting for the bitcoin-days destroyed chart to have
a spike today
bitcoinpete: i doubt there's
a western country without it
benkay: jurov, wao can y'all give me
a link to something about the node.js and js.rand problems?
mike_c: <+thestringpuller> bitcoinpete: I have
a story for you.
benkay: what is
a boy to read over coffee anyways?
bitcoinpete: pankkake: you guys have
a wonderful history of appreciating art in all its dimensions
pankkake: it's also
a way to escape taxes, at least in France very much so
mircea_popescu: lmao there's
a belgium whale now, buying up all the Ts russia is dumping. hahaha
davout: that'll make
a nice first post,
a nice second post too if i'm lazy
davout: i can see the use, i'll use the opportunity to publish
a coupla stats too
davout: it has
a distinctive property
mircea_popescu: that's what
a schelling point is. suppose you're abudcted by aliens, with
a bunch of other people you never saw in your life. the aliens put four cards face up in front of each of you, the same cards, and say yo ucan go if you all pick the same card
davout: so if i understand correctly you think it could have some use
a price signal
mircea_popescu: well, yes. you're in
a fine position to establish
a signal settlement price.
fluffypony: gawd, I didn't even know railsgirls was
a thing
assbot: 322529 – Upgrade Math.random() to
a better algorithm, such as Mersenne Twister
Naphex: its pretty basic to just use
a custom RNG then Math.random in js
jurov: wao is there
a bug report for it?
mircea_popescu: the rainbows off
a 80mn wide space fit on any hdd ffs.
jurov: duh what
a day.. thanks to coinroll bots we found out about Math.random backdoor in node.js
fluffypony: I don't get it - is it supposed to be
a kid's book?
mircea_popescu: this fucking "x will need to" replacement for "we would like for x to" is
a riot.
assbot: Syphilis Made
A Big Comeback In 2013, CDC Warns - Forbes
fluffypony: because when choosing
a cryptocurrency, an integrated IRC client sets you apart from the herd
fluffypony: Apocalyptic: is the header picture supposed to be
a phoenix rising from the ashes?
punkman: why do all these 7" low resolution monitors cost as much as
a 20" HD one?
punkman: "CEO Paulius Meskauskas, CMO Tomas Andzelis, CRO Mantas Gustys and
a team of over 20 other people"
assbot: Virtex!
A new online crypto currency trading platform | Bitcointa.lk
punkman: "Also our cold wallet is going to be stored on
a dedicated system that will come online less than once
a day for brief random interval to carry out necessary transactions."
bounce: so people just use whatever charset they like, and
a bunch of clients now standard guess whether the characters they're looking at is latin-1 or utf-8 and switch tack based on the guesses
bounce: nope. and it's
a flight-forward kind of thing. "if only everyone used this one standard system" -- but there isn't just one standard
bounce: say,
a per-channel tag expressing
a preferred charset
mircea_popescu: Naphex so then they just made
a bitcoin to usd gateway
Naphex: well they don't have to, they can have
a bitcoin wallet
Naphex: IRC is
a pretty good protocol
mircea_popescu: decimation: IRC is kind of
a creaky old protocol. it works, but it's like hitching
a ride on
a Cuban 1950's Ford truck <<< there are two kinds of protocols : the "creaky old" stuff which is good and the new shitty stuff which is bad.
mircea_popescu: ebay is rimm cca 2005. who wants to tell the people with 401k's that mp will make
a killing with puts on their savings ?
mircea_popescu: the alternative is, "bitcoin will kill us in
a matter of years. please keep buying our stock"
Naphex:
a couple of months ago
Naphex: "We think Bitcoin will play
a very important role in the future. Exactly how that plays out, and how we can best take advantage of it and enable it with PayPal, that's something we're actively considering. It's on our radar screen."
bounce: at
a guess, something along the lines of "bitcoin with chargebacks"
mircea_popescu: is this the first case of
a bit* site that's pre-bitcoin ?
fluffypony: been up for
a couple of hours, but the wife has gotten into this fancy-breakfast-making habit
assbot: DogePDX! It's
a Dogecoin Party in Portland! -
dignork: decimation: if you want to keep all your messages till bitcoin-dev finnaly figures
a way to implement purging, yes.
dignork: I mean there is
a usable console client for one to one chat, and support for group chat, but still.
dignork: decimation: there is
a tox chat, torrent like, but nowhere close to irc so far
decimation: IRC is kind of
a creaky old protocol. it works, but it's like hitching
a ride on
a Cuban 1950's Ford truck
decimation: Okay. I don't know the details of IRC, apparently gribble can tell the difference between someone leaving the channel and
a net-split?
assbot: Michael Novogratz touts bitcoin, M&
A and tech
artifexd: kakobrekla: Do I need to anything special to get artibot voiced in here? Is being
a bot enough? I can (and will eventually) code it to ident with gribble and !up with assbot if necessary but if you have
a list of preapproved bots, that would be easier.
artifexd: <mircea_popescu> mind adding it in here with
a special rule to only dump bets > 1btc ? << No problem.
mircea_popescu: GEORGE: Well, don't they make
a counter offer? How can they just cancel the whole deal like that? What kind of
a maniac is this guy? I mean he just, he says no, and that's it?
assbot:
A Complete List Of Things Supposedly Caused By Global Warming
mircea_popescu: well so how would you like
a managerial position in mpif ?
BCB: I'm not
a Money Transmitter in the US
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: you need someone with
a proper gaydar to tell you
mircea_popescu: i mean he could say he's seen most GIRLS that ever shot more than
a few tests
fluffypony: maybe possibly if I stumbled into the knowledge / time / inclination to run
a brokerage it would be worthwhile
mircea_popescu: but yes, unless your portofolio is > 1k btc, you don't really need
a seat imo.
fluffypony: I think it's out of my league, not entirely from
a price perspective but more from
a "what would I do with it" perspective
mike_c: i don't think it's ever been
a bad price. best time to buy
a mpex seat is today.
