kakobrekla: re borrowing, yeah bitcoinpete just did that a day or three ago iirc
nubbins`: forum people don't give a fuck about otc ratings, and vice versa
MisterE: trust can save you *a lot*
nubbins`: at least if there's no fee to register a defence, he's got nothing to lose by participating
nubbins`: having the defendant pay 10btc creates a strong disincentive to participate
nubbins`: rota was a fine idea but just incorrectly structured from the start. it'd probably still be going if it was set up the way i've outlined ;D
mircea_popescu: i think perhaps you may be optimising for a differen tproblem.
nubbins`: now tell me if people would be bringing frivolous claims to a court set up like that.
mircea_popescu: MisterE was a self-nomination thing, originally. see the article
nubbins`: if you buy a can of coke here, you pay eight cents recycling deposit. you bring the empty can back, you get five cents.
mircea_popescu: that fat tail ended up costing a pretty penny, but hey.
mircea_popescu: 30 cases a year pay for the 30.
nubbins`: receiving btc IS a bonus.
mircea_popescu: and im merely arguing that since every top job out there pays a salary + bonuses, that model is unavoidable.
nubbins`: anyway, you're arguing that salary doesn't work because pay-by-the-hour makes it seem like less of a chore
joecool: i had a case some years back that was delayed nearly 2 years because the judge assigned was waiting for his retirement request to finalize
nubbins`: he knows the workload involved when he signs up. once all judges are booked up, you have a backlog.
nubbins`: say a judge has to take 30 cases a year or w/e for his 30btc
nubbins`: but hey, USA has a thousand magistrate judges for a reason
nubbins`: toss a couple at me
mircea_popescu: not paying the judges per case has a host of problems
mircea_popescu: everyone with their head in a box, X-coin Y-coin blergh
nubbins`: maybe the defendant doesn't have to pay a fee because we're not paying the judges per-case anymore
mircea_popescu: nubbins` now you're a poopyhead
nubbins`: suppose i call chetty a poopyhead and it turns out this damaged her reputation so badly that she lost a 100btc contract. she decides to sue me via rota, i decline.
nubbins`: well, if you look at it that way, the rota was a solution in search of a problem
nubbins`: how else would you deal with a case you deemed frivolous?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: ordinary 'heat pipe' works great, so long as you have a massive sink on the other side. heat pipe can be thought of as a refrigerator without a compressor.
nubbins`: no cost to it? if you lose, it's a 10btc cost
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: apple is selling, i think, a machine of just this shape. but, as you can probably guess, i'd rather not buy it.
mircea_popescu: all fans in a tube can't fail at the same time
asciilifeform: pankkake: i'm about to rent a whole building instead of flat, partly so i can do just this
asciilifeform: pankkake: show a 100% passive cooled machine that isn't a toy
nubbins`: seems to me like if you remove the per-case judge payment and stick to the yearly sum, the rota would involve a whole lot less QQing
asciilifeform: whatever happened to those folks who sold a $3k (usd) pc chassis-cum-heatsink of solid copper, weighing as much as a man ?
asciilifeform: it wants to have the same mechanicals as a 'xeon'
mircea_popescu: like a girl on 7 inchers. you know she's in pain and likely can't run... but damn that ass.
asciilifeform: that multi-die beast looks like a thermal nightmare though
nubbins`: who knows, maybe they couldn't afford a $99 samsung point-and-shoot because they spent every last dime on legitimate businessy things
asciilifeform: in other news, my site (should anyone give a damn) is back.
mircea_popescu: it's a slow drama day, so let's lol at people. http://trilema.com/2014/a-sad-story-illustrated/
nubbins`: "let's use a cell phone camera for the photos for our big announcement"
cazalla: "Lol, wrapped some cardboard boxes in inkjet-printed labels, and took a pic of one HF board? Awesome." top kek
nubbins`: or, if you're in a rush, 1-855-one-bitc

BingoBoingo: I suppose a good rule of thumb for any court would be that parties wanting redress from Pankkake are prolly in the wrong
peterl: didnt they have a Rota for that sort of thing?
bounce: s/ a //
bounce: well, maybe we need a virtual courts of teh intarwebz, where you can sue WoT usernames and such.

peterl: "i am a real person i not hide behind aliases and be in a forum a super hero member" says a guy named "dotcoin"?
mircea_popescu: a bit of a conundrum so far.

dotcoin: i am a real person i not hide behind aliases and be in a forum a super hero member
dotcoin: a so jurov i want to tell you what ever your friend martin lies to you is not the truth, and to accuse me for scam in this case in forums is not the best way to hear the other site of this story between martin and me, you are shareholder you try now to accuse me of scam so what i have think about that? do you think is a productive way for your shares? more than i not scam any
dotcoin: show me a better one

mircea_popescu: he has a lawyer ?!
dotcoin: but classifieds this me or my company as a scammer
mircea_popescu: you seem to be having a bit of a problem there dotcoin.
pankkake: maybe a collective Trilema TL;DR
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla a so it's not a bitbet thing
mircea_popescu: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=289730.msg5993394#msg5993394 << see, now that's a paid troll on point and good at what he does. rapid, efficient, a wonder to behold. not like the rest of you bums
mircea_popescu: maybe to give more avenues of haxxorage on b-a.com ?
mircea_popescu: a, i was gonna vandalize it ;/
mircea_popescu: over about a year.
mircea_popescu: yeah, i think bitbet made a whole btc out of advertising so far
mircea_popescu: i guess nobody told 'em ® is not merely a good looking special glyph

mircea_popescu: all this forum shit starts with a lot of support that on examination consists of wtf.
mircea_popescu: so it needs a suggestqueries subdomain and what, json output ? or ?

mwashaka: nope, just somthing hit me, thought for a split second you were the same person
mircea_popescu: now, as far as asicminer goes, it's been a great asset so far, however, it's not without its problems
