mircea_popescu: asciilifeform isn't
a laptop by its definition ALREADY an oddity ?
decimation: I think you have
a blog post about how the world is damned to repeat Job's mistakes
KRS-: dub: u are
a sick man
decimation: I love my old hp-48 chicklet syle keyboard. I wish someone would bring that back on
a portable device
benkay: so what's
a more tractable problem: supplying high-quality keyboards for shitty cobbled together laptops, or producing entire chassis?
benkay: well look asciilifeform there's digikey, there's
a 3d printer, and there's
a mess of hardware out there. nobody's going to mass-produce
a *nix laptop but Apple, and we can't use theirs. the solution is to cobble our own together.
decimation: oh that's
a more reasonable goal. yeah you aren't going to convince the junk peddlers that it's worth their time
benkay: this means that people who care about the problem should probably invest some time and intellect into fixing it instead of waiting for
a corporate sponsor like BSD does.

a few extra features...

a retard (ipad) sized 10 key calculator in this room

a year by the latest numbers i saw.

a religion and use its practitioners
nubbins`: what do you do, hang around
a hospital?

a thing where sellers sought buyers.
mircea_popescu: nubbins` it's
a flattering point, but i very much doubt it.
mircea_popescu: if btc had actual economic adherence in 2012-2013 we'd have been fucked with
a capital CK
nubbins`: what i want to see is
a major utility announce that they ONLY accept btc.
mircea_popescu: yet again one of our major strengths turns out to have been what clueless noobs imagined is
a weakness.
herbijudlestoids: basically all im saying is that if EPS is expected to grow ~86%p.
a. then MPOE is
a fair value investment, if less then its overvalued, if more then undervalued
mircea_popescu: after pirate we had
a 4 month freezeout which was the worst i ever saw, almost killed the s.dice ipo
deadweasel: ah yes, if you don't reply to the email after

mircea_popescu: herbijudlestoids mind that you are calculating something over
a very fastly changing curve.

Mats_cd03: i have
a brilliant idea for

a bar and orders

a-truecrypt-volume security might be nice'
ThickAsThieves: "Since it's
a SHA-256 coin, this is an interesting one to follow because the same equipment can mine it." I love the folds of irony Altcoin brings
dub: mp is
a big fan of fde
dub: having not followed cardano at all, any utility in it shipping with 'hardware' encrypted disk as
a value add?
mircea_popescu: nubbins` dun be telling dub it's
a lefty conspiracy, he's been sayin' it since b4 you were boarn, son.
kakobrekla: its gonna take
a year+ to fix all damage
mircea_popescu: yeah they got troubles. i was just making light of it because i'm an asshole in
a tropical climate 70 miles away.
deadweasel: holy shit, that's going to be
a while...
mircea_popescu: nubbins` don't hate, some people have the misfortune of falling on
a running millstone

a greater degree than me!!11"

a slanka!"

a certain thickness, it's an emergency
mircea_popescu: dude i looked at footage, what the fuck, there's been no snow. you got
a little freezing rain.
benkay: i can definitely arrange for btc to get burned. i don't think that's
a sensible business plan, though.
kakobrekla: so, bit4x just made
a switch from dBTC to mBTC, which is 1:10 going to 1:1000, but i only feel 10 times richer
nubbins`: "surely if we divide this pizza into
a thousand equal slices and gather
a thousand men, it will be consumed quicker"
benkay:
a few months is the answer
nubbins`: i don't think there's
a market for it today, anyway
nubbins`: so i'm wondering if there's
a reasonable method by which i could use my s.mg stock warrant as the basis for selling options
kakobrekla: gah apparenlty ill be out of power for
a week
Namworld: Looks like half
a centimeter on that photo
Namworld: Yeah. Central Canada. I was
a kid back then. I remember seeing those pylons on the news.
nubbins`: i had
a ton of friends with burst pipes in early january when the power went
nubbins`: did you open your faucets
a little bit to prevent frozen/burst pipes?
kakobrekla: the usg can build
a guantanamo clone and house all 2 mio slovenians there

a meeting room repurposed into
a lab meaning the AC is not keeping up
pLambert: maybe it will be more clear if/when they produce
a finacial statement next month?

a channel that wasn't appreciated
jcpham:
a smokescreen/diversion so the real target goes unnoticed
jcpham: normally ddos is
a cover for something else

a trade has to be stayed because waiting for confirms.

a cyclical basis

a large number of btc people are not-normal sleep patterned.
mircea_popescu: ie, their algorithmia is more akin to
a wheelchair than
a car
mircea_popescu: "I don't see this making
a difference. There are lost coins in every currency.
A 10K block reward is peanuts. Any anyways, the developers could always modify this in the future if it became
a problem."
mircea_popescu: jurov there's
a guy that managed to get his assets transferred twice back in the old days (2012), netted like 300 btc from it.
