decimation: asciilifeform you mentioned in the past that you did not care for mechanical hard drives. Does this mean you put
a flash drive in your Libretto?

a brewing. It will crash the whole world economy if they keep it up
mircea_popescu: Gilliams lives an extravagant lifestyle, much of which is depicted in videos filmed by videographers he hired to follow him around. The videos appear on “TLG TV,” which purports to be some sort of reality TV show starring him.
A host of such videos still remain on YouTube, although some were deleted from Vimeo. One such video apparently depicted Gillaims “posing with stacks of money on his lap.”
mircea_popescu: " He also “generated
a document, which he supplied to
a representative of the investors, in which he purported to show
a series of $5 million trades, as well as over $100,000 in purported profits on trades during September and October 2010, [but] this document was false.” Anyone can generate
a professional looking document on their computer."
mircea_popescu: screen shot is not
a confirmation. And nobody investing foundation funds should think it is."
mircea_popescu: "Gilliams received $4 million from Morfopoulous and $1 million from another investor for investment in the STRIPS program. As evidence that the funds were so invested, Gilliams created “
a screenshot from Bloomberg Finance showing $1 million worth of U.S. Treasury STRIPS, which Gilliams represented was proof that he had purchased Treasury STRIPS.”
A screenshot? He must have been in the virtual office that day.

mircea_popescu: otherwise you'd just carry
a soldering iron everywhere.

a language : abstracting the audience.
mircea_popescu: i never heard of
a programmer that judged the languages on the basis of the machines involved.
mircea_popescu: one can prolly make
a living for years just out of that observation.

a clear conscience
mircea_popescu: you put it in the tumbler, stuff the tumbler with rags or packing peanuts or w/e to keep the cans flush to the side, then hook it to dry for
a while.
nubbins`: you can take
a quart of old ink and mix it with
a power drill for an hour and it's still shit

a third of them were usable, the rest (10-15 gallons) aren't fit for use

a bunch of inks from

a straight forward flip would be good enough.

mircea_popescu: so in this sense, you're just getting 100% dividend, except
a 35% portion of it is actually worth less
mircea_popescu: i have
a bottle of coca cola. 35% of what i drink goes into buying more coca cola
dnivi3: They have
a reinvestment plan for the future, to increase their hashrate. 35% of all profit goes to reinvestment for hash power.

a hashrate not
a percentage of the companies total hashing power
VanCleef: isn't petamine just
a PMB tho?
mircea_popescu: Morgan: Before money or anything else. Money cannot buy it …
a man I do not trust could not get money from me on all the bonds in Christendom.
dnivi3: Seems like I jumped on the train
a bit too early thinking that the price would rise (which it did for
a little while). I am dumping my shares, can't justify the investment with regards to their shitty dividen.
mircea_popescu: you'll have to bug kako, and probably volunteer
a lot of work

a non-horrible web analytics operation?
benkay: ha yeah excellent idea, nubbins`, ty. fixing that's been on my agenda for
a minute now
nubbins`: i.e. put the <sup> of the footnote number inside the <p> of the footnote text, so it doesn't put
a huge break in there

a ` to my highlight list because i was missing so many pings
