pankkake: not that the why really matters… scammer or incompetent, it's
a very thin line nowadays
Ukyo: and that is
a fact.
VanCleef: his explanation is "they are just gone, this is
a fact"
Ukyo: thats
a simple answer. they were transfered to weexchange
VanCleef: put
a small chilie in your ass and you're good to go
ArsKisS: how can I lose
a whole word by typo :O
ArsKisS: anyone disagrees for
a good reason? :P
mikaeldice: at the full guides but am getting
a little lost on how to translate them and
ArsKisS: I've been wondering
a while how it sorts out when to announce and when not
ThickAsThieves: of course the algo changing the price is
a diff question
ThickAsThieves: "The idea of
a decentralized market is that it allows anyone anonymous but with accrued and verifiable reputation to be the arbiter and/or market maker of any particular market, while he stays safe from sabotage."
ThickAsThieves: "Because they're centralized. Decentralized prediction markets are going to be available in
a couple months. Why risk it on some site that can get hacked, seized or turn out to be
a scam."
mircea_popescu: as opposed to todaqy's indescribable retards of "we've taken
a two week master's"
mircea_popescu: fascinating to read
a 10 year old wsj piece, and discover how it merely sucks as compared to
a coupla decades before
reeses: with
a commute and no view
reeses: that will buy
a nice 70m^2 apartment here
Bugpowder: more than US$1.4 million in cash and diamonds over
a 22-year period.
mircea_popescu: so they send another spy, and... well... same deal. and then more and more. eventually they ask
a defector, and the guy smikrs and says "perhaps you might try not sending black people ?"
☟︎ mircea_popescu: usa sends spy to cccp, within
a coupla months they realise he'd been ferreted out and fed misinformation since just about day one
mircea_popescu: kinda impossible to have old money in
a crooked place, so yeah.
mircea_popescu: the notion that there'd be
a meritocracy in the us is beyond
a simple lol
Bugpowder: but if you want to reappropriate the term, using the W-word as
a term of endearment, go ahead.
Namworld: I have not. Although it seems by the new definition you gave it, I'm
a wasp.
mircea_popescu:
a wasp is
a kid that grows up principally interracting with his parents, who are overly-intellectual, is never beaten, is carefully kept overclean and never gets to either injure himself or face any real responsibility
Namworld: What's
a wasp? My first thought was "You ain't getting
a job with that."
reeses: CHID is an undergraduate major and minor that has been around since 1978. The participating members (students, staff and faculty) of CHID collectively construct
a dynamic, creative learning community that mobilizes collective and individual passions. We encourage our members to pursue self-knowledge through participation in the changing world in which their selves are shaped and which they will shape for their own and future generations.
reeses: yeah, but this was
a school of arts & sciences undergrad
reeses: when I was in school I dated
a girl whose major was "comparative history of ideas"
reeses: we have funny "you *have* to have
a college degree!" programs here in the US
mircea_popescu: only if the stanford model is applied to
a well controlled environment made out of wasp kids thoroughly acculturated.
Bugpowder: occasionally MIT model makes
a tech so awesome that it does change the market
Bugpowder: this is how startups end up working tho. Raise
a bunch of money before you have
a real product, and try to assemble one before you can't raise an ever increasing sum of money
mircea_popescu:
a spiked club colonoscopy could conceivably also help some old geezer
mircea_popescu: Duffer1 the helping part is
a vanishingly long shot at this point.
benkay: but think you could spend just one bitcoin and get
a full report on the derpage, plus some negotiated amount of additional "hey kid you're stupid and didn't look into this enough plz foar to fix"
benkay: blogging also turns one into
a public persona
mircea_popescu: you just write
a report to yourself, click publish, go on your merry way
benkay: the little i know about myself and men in general is that we don't tend to have
a lot to say on topics of interest to large populations until we hit like thirty five and have
a reasonable base of experience from which to generalize
benkay: it's almost as though willet et al have heard about
a thing called
a spec and how some people involved with bitcoin think the cryptocurrency might be better off with
a spec than new features, chose to 'implement'
a 'spec' that's wholly inadequate to the task at hand
benkay: thing is
a goddamn shitshow
ozbot: Mastercoin is
a joke : Bitcoin
Bugpowder: OK I know that is
a stupid analysis
Bugpowder: since BBQcoin is
a worthless coin, yet still has value…
Bugpowder: In general I support
a development model where people buy-in to the coin via funding its development
Duffer1: "we recently raised nearly 5000 BTC to build
a new protocol layer on top of bitcoin."
Duffer1: r/mastercoin i can sub to be
a mastermind
BingoBoingo: Bugpowder: Basically mastercoin is this colored coins idea but the developer found
a way to try colored coins that involved "Send me your coins and I will make this thing"
BingoBoingo: Bugpowder: Was there ever
a good discussion of mastercoin that ended up supposing benefits, valuation potention, or some combination of both in the end?
Bugpowder: Anyone have
a link to
a good discussion of master coin benefits and valuation potential?
BingoBoingo: Because the point of collecting the reports is for the juicy dump of data about how
a machine is configured. The right way would probably be spamming legit looking reports suggesting people are running WIndows 8.1 on PDP-11s, Vaxen, and other ancient systems
BingoBoingo: The mindset that leads people to think spamming could be
a profitable venture would probably be the sort that could lead someone to think spamming the NSA into thinking "user won Darwin Award" is the most common means by which
a Windows system fails
BingoBoingo: Capriciousness of action is part of make
a rouge state rogue
BingoBoingo: Or some agent could say fuck it and activate the mechanisms leading towards extraordinary rendition to
a blacksite and use of Datskovskiy’s soldering iron. Hard to tell what the rogue state will do.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Maybe? Possibly troll him back. Such an effort might be
a heroic waste of NSA and MS time.
BingoBoingo: Duffer1: I imagine repurposing
a botnet to spam fake, trollish Windows crash reports might be something some sort of activist could be motivated to do if they had
a strong desire of being found.
Duffer1: i wonder if there's
a way to edit windows crash reports, send ms and nsa troll reports instead
KRS|Gotyawallet: at least cex.io isn't
a scam, its just
a straight up rip-off. Never made sense of their pricing in terms of roi..I must hav been doing something wrong because they still have customers.
BingoBoingo: I guess soon it will become obvious if Hashfast was
a straight up scam as well.
Duffer1: labcoin pulled
a lot of shit, but they didn't even try to develop something
BingoBoingo: These last minute "pre-shipping" announcements seem more like fishing for
a last few suckers than anything helpful to people who would have already "Pre-ordered"
Duffer1: they announced
a few days ago they'll start shipping first batch by dec 31, it would take bfl levels of gall to say that and not actually be ready
benkay: sounds like the xilinx tools are designed to implement
a certain set of routines in silicon but the silicon itself can't change the implemented routines until you bake the configuration of the fpga into the fpga itself. am i close?
ozbot: Overstock CEO: 'I don't own bitcoin, but I'm
a fan' - The Term Sheet: Fortune's deals blogTerm Sheet
Duffer1: "Looking for
a reason to give up on humanity? Study climate change. That shit isn't changing back."
Diablo-D3: [06:36:44] <KRS|Gotyawallet> Ever see Eddie Murphy in "Coming to America" where the woman in the hot tub says "The royal penis is clean your highness"..I think if I could start every day like that, I would be
a much better man..maybe
a massage and
a good breakfast too.
kakobrekla: apparently
a day of awesome costs less than
a bitcoins or something
KRS|Gotyawallet: Ever see Eddie Murphy in "Coming to America" where the woman in the hot tub says "The royal penis is clean your highness"..I think if I could start every day like that, I would be
a much better man..maybe
a massage and
a good breakfast too.
KRS|Gotyawallet: my g/f before that never did and that was worse..i'd rather hear
a girl go on and on all day and know whats up than
a bitch who is too good to give up some head.
pankkake: I got
a donation today. turns out asking for donations in READMEs can work!
mircea_popescu: "Volunteers come from all walks of life, which for some is
a demonstration of China’s movement in the direction of social equality." <<< ahahaha this kicks ass.
mircea_popescu: cooking it is
a sight, too. it takes three girls about
a day, and because of all the going pots it's pretty much easier to do it in the nude
mike_c: one who has done
a decent amount of due diligence
mircea_popescu: then
a day or two later i throw it out, and open
a new one. because fuck me it molds in
a day this thing
mircea_popescu: the net result ? i open
a can, i eat as much as i can, i put it in the fridge.
mircea_popescu: so anyway, i love zacusca, which is this eeuropean veggie preserve. it's
a hassle to make tho, so after going to Cheng Yongsheng parties for zacusca makers looking for very rich patrons,
Gotyawallet:
a btc fantasy football site would do well if there was one
mircea_popescu: you can be the new president of that place, just asking
a few favours in.
mircea_popescu: course it's not particularly
a bad model he's got. if you spend ten years placing hot chicks in the marital beds of crown princes,
