asciilifeform: (in fact, i'd be surprised if this weren't the primary mining force there)
benkay: i'm in.
the20year: I think long term the growth will be fantastic, but i was also called a idiot when btc was at $1250 trying to get more shares sold for fresh capital because they expected btc to hit $2k or $3k in just a few weeks
Duffer1: 78k units offered i think
mircea_popescu: course.... where you got the 78k from ? or what am i misunderstanding here ?
benkay: i'm interested to see what happens when divs fail to match btc appreciation.
the20year: I might consider 25k or 50k additional shares on ciphertrade just to test the platform out, but likely there won't be another round of share-type funding, 1.125m is our goal from this round and if we hit it we should be able to get the portfolio access I want
mircea_popescu: i guess this is an interesting test for havelock, because if the kid now fails to buy properties worth whatever he supposedly got from the ipo the difference will have to somehow be explained.

mircea_popescu: "I was told that up until a few weeks [at time of the interview] ago, there was hardly any development environment to test changes. Most changes were done straight on the production environment."
pankkake: I don't think new miners are coming
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves i imagine as brokerages develop they'll keep a vanity gen side.

nubbins`: i can take some lsd right now if i like
Apocalyptic: <herbijudlestoids> so the analogy youre trying to make is everything i learned was "dont be stupid" and i couldve just figured that out sober? // people like to believe so, cause the thing is much more special and powerfull if achieved under those circumstances than banal thinking
nubbins`: i can only speak from personal experience
nubbins`: anyway, i got off track
herbijudlestoids: i dun even know what im trying to convince you of really...its 4am and i paused the movie for a sec and saw people talking about salvia
mircea_popescu: but anyway, girl sitting on piano : "ever since i first heard this tune it haunts me"
mircea_popescu: speaking of which, i watched some mae west movie recently. you ever seen these things ? they're so much lol.
mircea_popescu: i don't have a girlfriend! so there!
nubbins`: i know plenty of strung-out druggies who float through life with sullen looks and dull eyes
herbijudlestoids: i keep telling you i dont have a sister lol
mircea_popescu: herbijudlestoids the analogy i'm making is that what you think you've learned and the dataset you imagine you rely on are about as related as my girlfriend and your sister.
herbijudlestoids: so the analogy youre trying to make is everything i learned was "dont be stupid" and i couldve just figured that out sober?
mircea_popescu: <nubbins`> just because you're in your desk, in school, doesn't mean you're doing math problems instead of doodling monsters <<< on re-read i suspect this is highly autobiographical
nubbins`: i can only speak from personal experience
punkman1: I think most languages don't have a word for "fun"
mircea_popescu: "never again am i using that fucking handbrake"
herbijudlestoids: mircea_popescu: i learned about many personal flaws and managed to correct some "in flatland", permanently. other flaws, still there
mircea_popescu: i think it actually serves better than calling both "fun"
herbijudlestoids: nubbins`: i think its very easy to not bring anything back to flatland...hard work to "bring something back"...to learn a lesson
mircea_popescu: i ain't about to, what do you got to make things personal for.
nubbins`: so i really thought i didn't like gravy. sue me!
nubbins`: "if i want gravy i'll eat some tomato soup"
nubbins`: "i know i won't like it"
nubbins`: this could just as well be a conversation with a mother saying "but gravy is really good, you should try it" and the kid saying "but i don't like it"
mircea_popescu: if i feel like having depth i GO MAKE THE FUCKING DEPTH
mircea_popescu: and if i feel like having sex i don't try to sneak into the sheets of a couple that fucked overnight just as they leave for work, either.
mircea_popescu: ;;google time is going by real slow i think we might be dead

herbijudlestoids: i been to some of them, so i know
nubbins`: i uh
ThickAsThieves: i've lost the thread
Duffer1: i rather look forward to cannabit's updates
mircea_popescu: nubbins` i'm saying that the interest in otherwise uninteresting subject matter is driven by otherwise underemployed, bored and inept kids.
mircea_popescu: of course it's not explicable, dude. if I put 500 rems or 18 tesla through my cpu the errorlog won't show anything "Explicable"
mircea_popescu: herbijudlestoids then i'm not really talkin' to you.
herbijudlestoids: all i am saying is its not explicable
mircea_popescu: "i don't even have to be aspiring that much, and it's ok being a miserable sack of shit"
herbijudlestoids: i dont really have any all encompassing philosophy around it. i dont believe there is some energy or whatever hippy shit
nubbins`: i don't even think burroughs aspired that much, guy was a miserable sack of shit
herbijudlestoids: mircea_popescu: not really dude, i view it as an extremely powerful psychological tool...like i say, it helped me, i know. i dont really want to convince you to do it in any sense other than your opinion should be informed
mircea_popescu: i can't remember all the druggies in time. brb.
KRS-One: 'scuse me i have to talk to ozbot in private.
mircea_popescu: i prefer the depth of reflection

kakobrekla: i tried mains socket.
mircea_popescu: i don't get all you doods with the "trying" shit. have you tried the mains socket, too ?
