mircea_popescu: it's the retarded child of
a 90s cali valley girl with
a fluffypony: or
a round logo that looks like
a coin
davout: mircea_popescu: can you buy pencils or
a yard rake?
mircea_popescu: "Quark is
a decentralized crypto-currency that allows for the most fast and secure transactions in the world."
mircea_popescu: jurov tbh the locking acct feature is
a leftover that i'd rather take out than expand
bitcoinpete: chicago doesn't have
a reputation of corruption for nothin
jurov: is it such
a big problem to subtract 1 satoshi from these resources?
davout: let me phrase the question
a different way, "is it really desirable that it's not possible to put all your BTC in bids without locking your account down?"
davout: mircea_popescu: sure, i could add
a check, but imo
a RAND() quantity would count as unspecified, not
a X where X may or may not be larger than my available cash
jurov: but yes, not
a bad precaution to always keep one satoshi there
mircea_popescu: this is not
a problem in most cases, but in high security applications it's good practice to never do it.
mircea_popescu: davout in general, it's
a bad idea to execute unspecified actions.
fluffypony looks at his broker to make sure he has
a minimum balance
mircea_popescu: jurov i think that's more
a matter of, whether you buy or sell, you buy or sel la number of shares, not
a qty of cash.
davout: jurov: why is
a bot that uses all available resources be considered as derpy ?
fluffypony: so then are you supposed to keep
a bare minimum balance in the account?
davout: so i'm asking, is anyone with
a mpex account relying on this functionality for anything?
mircea_popescu: maybe later this year someone also does the first sale of
a bitcoin corp stock, and then it'll be even.
bitcoinpete: though there are
a ton of them out this summer
fluffypony: bitcoinpete: aaaand now I want to buy
a Tesla. thanks.
fluffypony: if it was
a friend I would be all for banning them :-P
fluffypony: not
a friend, just someone in another room
fluffypony: danielpbarron: and also definitely not on
a shared connection etc. etc. ?
davout: maybe you can't PM as
a noob
davout: fluffypony: you seem to be mistaken about my role on btctalk, i'm merely
a glorified janitor for the french section
assbot: What it's like to own
a Tesla Model S -
A cartoonist's review of his magical space car - The Oatmeal
danielpbarron: it doesn't matter if
a user doesn't talk about bitcoin; it's
a good indicator that they make interesting content if they chat in here though
thestringpuller: i just like to rant and rave like
a fouled mouth american who is going senile
mike_c: i think
a couple hundred btc worth went this period, and next period should be better.
mike_c: TheNewDeal: yeah, it was
a fun bet
thestringpuller: mike_c: aren't you not supposed to hedge with
a prediction market?
mike_c: also, i think X.IDIFF.SEP is going to be fun. put in some early bids/asks and get
a good price.
mircea_popescu: yeah, if you have
a shelf where you live, may be better.
danielpbarron: yeh, hrm; I hopefully won't need it for long: I'm really eager to get my hands on
a cardano
mircea_popescu: such derp. somebody claims
a passion for solving "world hunger" specifically because they have internalised being
a failure at anything whatsoever,
artifexd: benkay: You have said "ratm"
a couple times. What does that mean? The best google returns is
a reference to the Rage Against The Machine band.
pankkake: if you trust the javascript. though I plan to have
a thing to do it in CLI
benkay: what
a goddamn racket.
benkay: yeah that's
a far better deal
benkay: christ
a wildcard ssl cert is 2 grand
Mats_cd03:
a friend suggested, why does the universe have to start somewhere?
mircea_popescu: and that all the shit happened in such
a close succession
mike_c: surprisingly i liked the mix. not
a radiohead fan
Mats_cd03: heh. not
a fan of the mix or radiohead?
mircea_popescu: seems
a very organic problem. in any sane country, once
a family is bankrupt the man will send the bill collectors packing, the wife and her daughters to work the streets, and the boys out into the world.
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: you may find this quote from my piano teacher interesting "The interesting thing about Obama is when he takes control of
a bankrupt country and keeps it running. In any other place in the world the country would shut down and start over. So no one has any idea what he actually does."
mike_c: although, most of the kids that are there to sell out don't make it to late stage.
a decent amount of the ones that do make it to late stage are the ones who have loftier goals (often world domination)
assbot: /sfiegerman Suppose you try that research thing next time ? MPEx is valued /772500 BTC. And has been, for
a year.
http://t.co/luJbV9SZ8s benkay: although w/r/t criminalizing common behavior i was charged with both
a minor in posession and public drunkenness.
a few months later i got
a letter saying the cop hadn't showed for the trial and so charges had been dismissed.
bitcoinpete: "There's
a new leader in the Bitcoin startup space, at least in terms of funding." << HAHAHAH
mircea_popescu: <benkay> "New York City is
a mismanaged carnival of stupidity that is desperate for revenue and anxious to criminalize behavior once thought benign." << aye!
Mats_cd03: i slummed it for
a year in flushing, queens
mircea_popescu: <benkay> enough dollars are enough dollars << suppose you got enough dollars in
a us bank acct. now what ?
benkay: but it's such
a shiny hole, bitcoinpete
jborkl_: finally got my block data live pulling from my own server, autoupdating using jquery was
a bitch
benkay: "New York City is
a mismanaged carnival of stupidity that is desperate for revenue and anxious to criminalize behavior once thought benign."
Mats_cd03: i have had the good fortune to see their guys react to contact while on
a protection detail
mircea_popescu: i don't see
a problem. just, what's witgh the brand loyalty. mercs are interchangeable by definition.
mircea_popescu: Mats_cd03 so your argument is basically what, that men reading to shoot doofuses for pay are
a good thing ?
Mats_cd03: are we really replaying
a debate that happened ten years ago
Mats_cd03:
a reminder to work on my spanish. where did i leave those pimsleur mp3s?
Apoorman: war in iraq was
a war for israel anyone with 2 brain cells knows it
Mats_cd03: incidentally... lots of this happened with NATO .mil forces, but its not as good of
a story as mercs doin it
mircea_popescu: Mats_cd03 charges would seem
a legal matter rather than media.
bitcoinpete: and blackwater isn't in and of itself
a problem, it merely signals that the us is on the decline
Mats_cd03: okay okay give me
a second here, ive been working off
a mobile
assbot: Indeep - Last Night
A DJ Saved My Life (LeMarquis Remix) by LeMarquis on SoundCloud - Hear the worlds sounds
Mats_cd03: The success of blackwater is
a story of the free market triumphing over govt inefficiency, basically.
Mats_cd03: His corp has never had
a principal die under his protection detail,
a record untouched by any organization in AFG or IRQ
bitcoinpete: i heard taaki is starting
a new borderless foundation for gypsy vagrants called laffeetaaki
Mats_cd03: mircea_popescu: 'civilian warrior' is pretty apt IMO. I recommend reading some of Prince's book, he is an impressive guy and an American fighting man. I took
a second look at
a lot of assumptions re: private military contractors in relation to Blackwater
bitcoinpete: "We're so accustomed to
a male vision of female sexuality, it's hard to imagine what authentic and organic female pleasure would look like."
thestringpuller: i don't think it's
a big deal for people who grew up with siblings
joecool: otr's
a nice system for chat over watched mediums
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller some sysadmins long ago went "hmmm, what'd be funnier than getting all these old bozos spelling out
http:// ?" "i know, add
a letter!"
mircea_popescu: coming soon, "the right to fuck
a woman just as hot as your wife"
mircea_popescu: to the point today's bison inhabiting the great plains don't even know there was
a lot more to be, that their great-greatparents failed to be.
mircea_popescu: it's kind of sad that out of
a continent of such boundless possibilities and such bountiful diversity,
mircea_popescu: anyway. since you'll prolly not figure it on your own, let's explain : the joke's
a similarity between your self-help schmuck (dale) and the guy that actually mattered by that name (andrew).
CheckDavid: Don’t go out and start trying to offed people, but do reframe criticism not as
a bad thing but as
a trigger for growth. - hey mircea_popescu
moiety: so i take it freelancer is
a useless site then?
