the20year: oooh, let's get a bitbet going
BingoBoingo: mrstickball: It's a judgment. Time reveals correctness. I judge Ohio to dangerous to have anything tied to its land.
ThickAsThieves: sounds like a horrible conversation
mrstickball: Sure, its a right. Doesn't make the view correct
BingoBoingo: a fundamental right of persons is to dislike things, whether the things are chocolate, puppies, or locations
BingoBoingo: mrstickball: When you have a venture tied to physical land, generally the idiots surrounding it affect the desirability of that land.
the20year: is there a way to get a multi-day log from bitcoin-assets?
ozbot: A Billion Doesn’t Buy Respect | When Bitcoin Met Pete
bitcoinpete: http://bitcoinpete.com/2014/04/30/a-billion-doesnt-buy-respect/
BingoBoingo: There are lots of reasons to doubt Ohio is going to last the next decade, much less the next century before it collapses into a North American Somalia.
the20year: A movie?
BingoBoingo: And the movie Major League didn't exactly paint a flattering portrait of the state
benkay: the20year: it's a reference to the difference between what happens on havelock and what investing actually is. reading comprehension ftw.
the20year: Based on pollution problems from the 1960s and a college in the state
BingoBoingo: the20year: Because maybe Ohio might decide to make the rivers flamable again? Maybe the whole state collapses into Earth's mantle after a football loss.
mrstickball: BingoBoingo: so you're judging someone based on a university they are not affiliated with?
benkay: it doesn't matter. you don't get to set a price for your freely traded paper.
fluffypony: mike_c: sure, doesn't have to be peanuts tho - 1 BTC isn't a bad trade OTC
BingoBoingo: benkay: Maybe that is a part of it? Maybe it isn't.
benkay: I'm averse to trusting the20year due to that whole 'suspend trading and sell stock at a fixed price' thing, BingoBoingo .
the20year: So I've been working on ratings for 2 days, granted mrstickball i don't think still have enough trust after a year to voice himself
BingoBoingo: the20year: Well I'm averse to trusting you because of that thing where you consider Ohio viable enough to make it a core part of your schtick
fluffypony: the20year: it's not about a "high" rating
the20year: I would have thought mrstickball would have had a high enough rating for auto voice
fluffypony makes a note
fluffypony: so that's how you become a thought leader
fluffypony: "Christian works as a Senior Application Security Architect for a large Investment Bank based in London"
fluffypony: this UK exchange thing is becoming a living, breathing No True Scotsman fallacy
fluffypony: Christian Papathanasiou is "widely considered a UK thought leader"
bounce: oh yes, why not. entirely run by non-residents. there's a novel idea.
ThickAsThieves: even more likely, they are biding their time for a tax holiday or special workaround yet to exist
kakobrekla: fyi, when you scroll in /browse/, theres a delay added intentionally on loading new data, because without it, it was too fast and didnt look good.
bounce: re apple borrowing to pay dividents, they've been doing that for a while. though, thinking about it... are those off-shore profits still tax deductible when gifted to charities?
mike_c: but i'm thinking i'll whip up an includable .js that writes out the image and a supplied affiliate id. then affiliates can use it in their advertising.
kakobrekla: on a side point , the site is quite lightweight
bounce: *iwilcox* [...] these guys should be in #bitcoin-otc-uk this evening: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=583152.0 [...] -- post from the 24th, claiming "We have developed a NASDAQ style exchange platform" and bitcoin/GBP for starters; logs then show a post 110 higer claiming to be "the only true UK bitcoin exchange". ☟︎
mike_c: proof of concept: http://www.btcalpha.com/bb_ad.png (reload a few times for dynamicism)
mike_c: so, last night i was on bitbet and was thinking that it would be cool to have a dynamic banner ad that promoted bitbets. aspiring affiliates could use it to make big moolah.
mike_c: there's a widget for calculating cum ROI across any timespan on there
thestringpuller: like a bed time story?!?!?
mike_c: good writeup. a bit harsh on mark, but he can take it.
mike_c: mircea_popescu: i thought you'd like that article. i am a fan of cuban, he's good people.
fluffypony: and there's a lot more to mining than cgminer
fluffypony: ThickAsThieves: they provided a snurl'd link to the SEC filing in the OP
fluffypony: "Just be happy that nobody has mentioned the Whistleblower program, which provides a 10-30% bounty on SEC enforcement actions that result from tips on possible SEC violations. With all of the faucet mongers on this forum, I imagine at least one or two of them would spend a few minutes on the SEC website for a payday down the road."
gribble: Error: "totalbtc" is not a valid command.
gribble: Error: "later" is not a valid command.
ThickAsThieves: ;;later tell mircea_popescu http://pando.com/2014/04/29/skillbridge-is-racing-to-become-the-freelance-consultants-marketplace/ in regards to having a "bitcoin freelance.com" how might that differ from freelance.com and the like simply accepting bitcoin? to ONLY accept bitcoin?
ThickAsThieves: "A unique category of property is money, which in some legal systems is treated as tangible property and in others as intangible property."
thestringpuller: ThickAsThieves: why try to put a square in a round hole << i've said this for years. but now i'm starting to understand people are so stupid they don't realize they are stupid
random_cat_: the query was: isn't money [just] a special form of property?
ThickAsThieves: why try to put a square in a round hole
fluffypony: so basically: "Bitcoin is money. Or property. Or a medium of exchange. Or a store of value. Or gold. Dependent on whether we want to prosecute or tax you or both."
punkman: I'll try their API, had it on some todo list a while ago
mircea_popescu: fluffypony set it for the world, it's a good utility.
fluffypony: if you want I'll setup a little service to do it for you, we're running ghostscript on the one server for PDF invoices
mircea_popescu: someone should make a website that works just like google translate,
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: ghostscript can do pdf to html via via, here's a python3 snippet for it: http://williamedwardscoder.tumblr.com/post/36700759050/converting-pdf-to-html
mircea_popescu: decimation: a parent who so acts today would probably be reported to the FBI << i had a chemistry lab. complete with strong acids and everything, i had like a pint of vitriol oil.
fluffypony: I'll track back and look at it this morning when I get a mo :)
ozbot: My First SEC Trial Transcript Has Some Real Comedy and a Message to Mary Jo White – SEC vs Schvach
mike_c: http://blogmaverick.com/2014/01/21/my-first-sec-trial-transcript-has-some-real-comedy-and-a-message-to-mary-jo-white-sec-vs-schvacho/
mike_c: a worthy read. many lulz at the expense of the sec.
decimation: Later, Norris recalls, he asked Cray to write a five-year plan for CDC. The result: ''Five year goal: Build the biggest computer in the world. One year goal: Achieve one-fifth of the above.''
decimation: a parent who so acts today would probably be reported to the FBI
decimation: http://www.businessweek.com/1989-94/pre88/b31571.htm Cray's parents nurtured his sharp, voracious mind. His father stocked a basement laboratory with chemistry sets and radio gear and permitted young Seymour to tinker into the wee hours.
decimation: I think the best feature of an undersea journey across the ocean would be the forced disconnection from the world. Seymour Cray said he got his best ideas digging a tunnel under his backyard.
TestingUnoDosTre: is it possible to check w/ nickserv if someone has taken a nickname?
decimation: One of the best ways for a violator to demonstrate that its violation was not willful is to self-disclose it. Indeed, in recognition of this fact and in order to encourage self-disclosures of systemic problems, the Department of Justice has followed a policy of foregoing prosecutions of companies that make complete, and self-initiated voluntary disclosures.1 (The same policy does not apply to individuals.)
decimation: ascii: http://www.ussubmarines.com/submarines/seattle_1000.php3 a Diesel-electric sub for a few $10m
TestingUnoDosTre: danielpbarron I can not offer commentary on trustworthiness of dignork. He helped me sign up a gpg key on my tablet while I was traveling for work. I have never done any business with him
asciilifeform: as in, how you can tell that a fellow's a russian even if he lives in new york, never once mentions russia, writes in 'the king's english', etc.
mircea_popescu: basically a less-annoying-than-usual applciation of cracked.com
asciilifeform: fellow's a crackpot, but the entertaining kind.
mircea_popescu: "Any positive or negative response on a request-by-request basis would allow our adversaries to accumulate information and draw conclusions about NSA's technical capabilities, sources, and methods."
mircea_popescu: "I can't even weigh in on what passes for political discourse in this country because I would actually do what the crazies are accusing Obama of doing. Seriously: I would take away everyone's guns, force public healthcare on everyone, put all the bankers in jail, engage in a strategic, federally-funded campaign to eradicate religion, turn us into a socialist state, and give every annoying country in the world forty-eig
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: broke a leg off the table to hammer at a monitor << soviet school of display repair! werks for me!
mircea_popescu: http://stilldrinking.org/img/moi.png << and yet he looks like a schmuck.
mircea_popescu: hm. but i guess this actually works, cause im not really a coder. a well.
mircea_popescu: ridiculous. i beat the shit out of my systems. i broke a leg off the table to hammer at a monitor once.
benkay: it's a good one
benkay: AND CAN'T TELL IF IT WAS A GOOD DEAL
benkay: "So no, I'm not required to be able to lift objects weighing up to fifty pounds. I traded that for the opportunity to trim Satan's pubic hair while he dines out of my open skull so a few bits of the internet will continue to work for a few more days."
mircea_popescu: http://stilldrinking.org/programming-sucks%20%3C yielded a 404.
Duffer1: thanks pankkake, it's been a while since i've rated anyone
gribble: Error: The command "info" is available in the Factoids, GPG, MessageParser, and RSS plugins. Please specify the plugin whose command you wish to call by using its name as a command before "info".
BingoBoingo: jurov: I've submitted a slightly different take http://bitbet.us/propositions/
jurov: just make a bet "new owner will be nigger"
BingoBoingo: If it didn't seem incredibly impending I might write a Magic Johnson to be part of new Clippers ownership group BitBet
cgcardona_: i figure it'll inspire a whole new group of startups for better or worse
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla by the time the kids retire, a 0.2 btc stash will buy them some bjs.
mircea_popescu: a better name one could not have for bitcoin involvement.
kakobrekla: you can do something with a million. you cant do shit with 100$.
bitcoinpete: i gotta show a place to a person… laterz!
BingoBoingo: benkay: Maybe? Looks like a couple capacitors popped.
mircea_popescu: then get gpg going on a secure system and get registered with gribble.
gribble: FAQ - Freenode: <http://freenode.net/faq.shtml>; freenode: using the network: <http://freenode.net/using_the_network.shtml>; How to Register a User Name on Freenode: 7 Steps (with Pictures): <http://www.wikihow.com/Register-a-User-Name-on-Freenode>
cgcardona_: probably been hashed over a thousand times but thoughts on the MIT $100 worth of btc per student news?
benkay: hey BingoBoingo what was the computer you smoked trying to get a 4096 bit key on?
mircea_popescu: lol @ "especially coming from a woman" part. yeah, teh neckbeards are such a well spoken, brilliant lot.
