deadweasel: wow, takes 9 developers to display
a QR code
dexX7: the forum is gettinmg 502 for more than
a month now from time to time :S
mike_c: i wish there were
a one stop shop where i could find
a veterinarian,
a therapist, and
a hedge fund manager.
mike_c: cloudflare is breaking the internet one stupid site at
a time.
diametric: mike_c: you'll note that to deploy that successfully, and not make the browser shit red warnings everywhere, you'll need
a forged cert.
Neil: mircea_popescu: What happens to MPEX if you're run over by
a bus?
mircea_popescu: god forbid i ever get cancer, the doctors will have
a fucking handful with me
Neil: mircea_popescu: Visit kako, place the bet in person over
a beer of course
mircea_popescu: on
a naked system like bitbet people know what the risks are
artifexd: TAT: My wife bought that shirt for me. So many custom tshirt sites print on shitty quality shirts. This one was
a good quality tshirt.
Neil: You have
a point for the bigger bets. But hardly ideal. Why expose your users?
Neil: I wonder how long until
a bitbet user suffers
a MITM attack on the send-to address display
mike_c: but.. why place
a wager and then let someone else set the odds.
mircea_popescu: in
a sense bitbet acts like the exact oposite of the doctrine of gpg contracts
mircea_popescu: Neil tbh it always was pretty well arbed, in the sense that i occasionally try taking one side and i have yet to come to
a situation where i wasn't covered properly by the other side
ozbot: Investor Alert - Bitcoin: More than
a Bit Risky - FINRA
mircea_popescu: sooo... the rift people added
a new profession, which is cool.
mike_c: being
a guy is so much easier.
ozbot: This is what it's like to be
a woman at
a Bitcoin meetup - Arianna Simpson
mircea_popescu: the ease of access is totally not
a tool of privilege.
bitcoinpete: "Bitcoin cannot possibly be limited to only the privileged as anyone (even people in Kenya) can gain access to it through standard cell phones,
a tool which the developing world has increasing access to."
bitcoinpete: "You would have to be living under
a rock feasting solely on anti-Bitcoin propaganda to think that Bitcoin is only about making money and oppressing the lesser privileged."
nubbins`: you saw something that was
a good idea and you bought in. that's not privilege, it's sense
bitcoinpete: "Bitcoin enthusiasts don’t generally spend any time thinking about privilege. But greater computer literacy among the poor and easier-to-use interfaces, along with addressing tech’s gender problems should be
a goal we all strive toward."
Diablo-D3: Lets light this guy on fire for being
a heretic.
ninjashogun: The main reason I ask here is because it is people who are technical (almost by definition), have early vision and interest (almost by definition) and in many cases have enough funds that they can consider helping me on such
a basis. Some people ahve been interested but the amount is too larger for them, I understand but that is nto the kind of person I'm lookiing for.
ninjashogun: So, it was not people, it was one person, and he didn't leave but continues to express 'definite' interest (we've prepared loan paperwork, etc). I!ve pressed several times for
a firm closure and he's repeated definite interest (instead of taking the chance to say, look, it's not that interesting to him)
nubbins`: it's like
a child convincing dad that
a can of frosting is
a good idea for lunch
ninjashogun: It's not an "idea', first of all, I'm working on
a company that was founded mroe than
a year ago and has assigned IP as well as fullz developed prototypes that prove concept, using vision, some robotics elements, arduino, etc.
nubbins`: i'm not asking you for
a wheelbarrow of cash
ninjashogun: it's the same thing - something marketable that needs something up-front. You can't just ask people to speculate, you should extend the possibility of
a loan to cover information asymmetry and personal responsibiilty. I wouldn't be gamblign with otehr people's money
ninjashogun: nubbins`, how do you feel about
a personal loan to develop
a proprietary hardware tech past proof of concept stage?
nubbins`: you want
a student loan to learn
a skilled trade? sure, here ya go
nubbins`: think about that -- paying off
a $25,000 loan at $33/mo
mircea_popescu: chetty_ tons of single guys with delusions of leadership, self-importance and whatever else makes maybe
a ton of twitter accounts
chetty_: well tons of single guys does sorta make
a mass ....something
mircea_popescu: i'd love nothing more than contact with
a large club of street people, but these muppets ain't it.
mircea_popescu: "Love what your doing but I see you do not send to the UK. My company are about to leash
a few ATMs on the UK and would love to get
a hold of perhaps your ai or pdf so I could print some off to give to everyone who is attending our launch in Feb."
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform your chick's not putting
a machine gun in the middle for the same reason she's not getting laid
mircea_popescu: they're doing it because
a fool and his resources are soon partying, and once the party's over they'll just go back home and start their own renaissances.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform that looks like it could propel the boat, in
a spot.
moiety: i know
a guy who was trying to flirt with
a girl
a few years ago by giving her some bitcoins.... she contacted him when they hit $1k to tell him, she paid for her college tuition with them :)
CheckDavid: cazalla: if you get
a shitty job you don't have to pay debt?
moiety: i would bite your hand off to go to uni ... but in my own time. worked since 14. it doesn't make you less of
a person at all, they just like you to think so
cazalla: i'm
a high school drop out, my brother has
a degree (medicinal chemistry)
moiety: i know one guy who did Politics, then Mental Health Nursing and now plans on
a Philosophy degree
cazalla: they do that here in australia,
a lot of graduates take jobs that pay under the threshold as to avoid paying back the debt
moiety: it becomes
a lifestyle for some doing degree after degree, never actually working
Neil: mircea_popescu: I don't remember you taking
a 1% fee on such cancellations before on Bitbet.
moiety: so is the new production place in china
a bunch of BS then?
mircea_popescu: nubbins` "If she could go back to her senior year of high school, Verge would make different choices, like hooking up with guys that beat her into sense and spend $24
a day on stockings alone rather than the current looser she's hitched with"
☟︎ Neil: Yeah that kuka thing was
a letdown. I was looking forward to having sthg interesting to watch when I got back home.
nubbins`: "If she could go back to her senior year of high school, Verge would make different choices, namely being more certain of what she wanted to study before spending $8,000 on
a year's worth of university tuition, books and living costs."
nubbins`: "Verge's husband is currently pursuing
a masters in history at Saint Mary's University in Halifax and hopes to continue into
a PhD program. "
nubbins`: "Verge originally intended to become
a teacher, but changed her mind after one year at Memorial University. She spent the next two years at Nova Scotia Community College completing
a photography program, hoping to become
a photojournalist."
nubbins`: OH FUCK THIS IS
A PERMANENT RECORD
ozbot: Twitter / Bitcoin: Are you
a bitcoin investor? ...
punkman1: "The 21-hour battle for B-R5RB resulted in more than 11 trillion ISK in damage, all thanks to
a lapsed bill by one very important user in the EVE Online universe."
cazalla: looks more like an advertisement than
a match though
benkay: and coinbr just
a hop skip and
a jump from that
nubbins`: "get
a job or you'll be asking people if they want fries with that" turns into "what are you, too good for
a fast food job?" and people wonder why the kids are confused
nubbins`: "The condoms should have had more realistic pictures on them. Such as
a teenager laying in bed with
a baby crying in the background and an alarm clock showing 2 am, or
a teenager with
a paper hat on cooking fries."
nubbins`: benkay, go buy
a pack of ONE condoms and open 'em all on your first try
nubbins`: "maybe if we package these tennis balls in
a large sphere"
benkay: what, you need
a perforated strip too?!
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform incidentally, do you readily know of
a problem mersene might have as
a crypto prng?
mircea_popescu: if kids got laid once
a week mandatorily maths'd prolly be
a lot easier to teach
benkay: i met an ex-teacher while drinking beers after closing
a deal the other day. he mentioned teaching sex-ed in an abstinence-only situation, and when I asked him "so how do you actually teach them?!" he said something along the lines of "well the smart ones can read between the lines"
mircea_popescu: chetty_ lmao, what are they supposed to say, "o hi, this is just
a baloon" ?
mircea_popescu: what sort of
a twisted joke is having your central bank run by
a guy whose name is panicos
