pankkake: but it shows
a willingness to stay

mike_c: wow, that's awesome about carmack.
a better oculus will be cooler than doom ten.
pankkake: it will go up if too much people pay (unless someone pays
a year and then I'm screwed!)
BingoBoingo: Right. If Snackman would have had his own wallet and sent 10,000 BTC with
a 1BTC fee just to be timely.
mike_c: that would cause quite
a bump in s.bbet. dividends to the moon.
BingoBoingo: pankkake: The way I understand bitcoin any tiny returns are too expensive because of counterparty risk. If
a person wants to gamble they fucking gamble. If they want tiny but sure returns those cock sucking motherfuckers can stay the fuck out of my gambling hole.
pankkake: well even if you offered me
a small return, there is still
a risk. under
a few percent I wouldn't bother trying
pankkake: I've seen many… for things like
a 0.006% return
pankkake: well any last No bet will get
a lot of return still
mike_c: this is why? there's 5 weeks and
a lot of uncertainty left.
mike_c: heh. you could more than double with
a successful no on this one.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Those sound delicious. We find Morels around here in the spring. Delicious. We make
a lot of shit out of corn here, but I've never seen corn oil. Rapeseed is moar common.

mircea_popescu: er tells dirty stories about her ex-colleagues to the refined Orthodox language teacher, who does not know whether to block her ears or to laugh.
A spoilt rich wife has hung her clothes on all available nails, leaving no room for anybody else. The passage ends with: "In 24 out of 24 hours there is never
a minute's silence ...
mircea_popescu:
A woman screams because
a mouse has run over her face. Bedbugs drop from the higher bunks onto the lower. Another woman screams because the little boy in the bunk above her has spilled the jam jar he uses as
a chamber pot all over her. Somebody has whooping cough. Another little boy begs his mother not to beat him because in his sleep he wet the bunk he shares with her. She does and he squeals.
A former night-club danc
pankkake: well, I'll need
a third very flexible cock
Apocalyptic: that moment when you generate
a new address and it starts with "1PHP"
pankkake: I read
a lot of books, I don't have
a girl. doesn't work
pankkake: many French noobs want to buy litecoin it seems (but they barely understand what is
a bitcoin address)
mike_c: 12 btc
a month. worth every satoshi.
mike_c: even
a us senator doesn't have to put up with that level of stupidity
mircea_popescu: jurov` in all of them. she's making more than
a us senator atm.
mircea_popescu: you can type
a password in the search field at the start of each session.
BigBitz: I spoke to him at BTC London. He's
a nice dude.
mircea_popescu: incidentally, i wonder how long before bitbet broker springs up, dedicated to making bets for noobs in
a safe and pleasant fashion.
mircea_popescu: definitely
a bunch of bets that are (or at least seem to me) out of odds. if he actually sits down and figures shit out he's prolly +ev
mike_c: you want to know the best part? snackman will continue to bet on bitbet in
a desperate attempt to get his money back.
mike_c: fwiw, when you run
a gambling operation you need to be draconian and ruthless. Not cry over stupid gamblers. This is why mp is better suited to run
a gambling operation than dooglus.
mircea_popescu: and tbh i'dmuch rather one guy get hit for 100% once
a year, go berserk and thus warn all other wannabe scumfaces,
pankkake: and I think those cases should have
a higher fee
mircea_popescu: pankkake nah, he sent it late. even with
a 10 btc fee it'd have been confiscated.
pankkake: if his bet would have been sent with
a tx fee, it would only be 1%
pankkake: well, I still think
a softer fee approach would be better. instead of 1% refund and 100% oops, do 20% for both
mircea_popescu: this is official, way to go make
a complete fool of oneself.
pankkake: in
a few years faucet operators will want their money back
Guest41620: I sent you money in
a way you didn't want me to, and in
a way you can't refuse. Give it back :P
mircea_popescu: chauvinist is
a big word among 20something lonely unshaven feminists.
mircea_popescu: the thing was amusing for
a coupla days and that's the last i recall of it
mircea_popescu: some kid made
a list of good and bad gambling sites to enforce his notions that i am racist and satoshi dice is bad.
pankkake: oh he's the one who wrote "I expect MP was abandoned as
a child and this is how s/he gets back at the world." earlier
pankkake: or
a bitcointalk account (with signup date requirements)
pankkake: not that it is surprising since give you can many of them just for having
a github account
mircea_popescu: anyone taking bets on whether he has
a nervous breakdown and disappears rather than breaks down and admits he fucked up ?
mircea_popescu: whatever, if he delivers 4.8
a la bitfury i'd rather the bet be clear.
mircea_popescu: i don't think nanotech has
a prayer in hell for the exact same reasons.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform : "The molecular nanotechnology we have, life, is built on low-energy bonds and runs in
a wet environment with
a very high error rate. Diamondoid nanotech is built on high-energy bonds, runs (at least for manufacturing) in hard vacuum, and depends on
a very low error rate - errors will cascade like crazy." this is
a surprisingly cogent point.
thestringpuller: there should be
a website to vote on the code that goes into bitcoin
jefito: it's all bitbet's fault because someone didn't include
a tx fee and their txn went unnoticed, eh
pankkake: the funniest part of the gold thread is that the guy added
a POLL to it
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla honestly i don't think it makes
a difference.
mircea_popescu: these people are so retarded. so if i hire
a different mpoe-pr each month basically i can keep scamming indefinitely, provided i was bfl and actually did exactly that.
TomServo: "They hide this policy in there FAQ" (Here's
a handy link)
deadweasel: .If his (the customer) life was not in danger, if no one had
a gun up to him, if no one pointed
a gun at him - what gives him the right to think that it's okay to just shoot someone?. said the relative. .You should have just left the store and went wherever you had to go in your car or whatever..
tulak_: why create
a bot and charge money? is this what people call capitalism
tulak_: primedice has
a bot functionality already
tulak_: I am
a Sith, so java is just fine
dexX7:
a redditor labeled it
abillionhorses: its not about rooting for underdog, its the fact that most people dont expect their coffee to be 180, so when it is...and it spills on an older woman causing her to have to get surgery...yes there prob should be
a suite
abillionhorses: haha ok well 180 is
a little hot for coffee imo...she deserved to win against MCYD's
abillionhorses: that woman that spilled hot coffee on herself from mcdonalds actually skalded herself and had to get skin graphs etc and it was an older woman...she had
a lot of reasons to sew actually
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform here's
a fun story : one summer @seaside i dug thriough so much sand to make castles i separated the quick of my nail, and infection bred.
mircea_popescu: seeing how it can't be
a fact, no matter who claims it
mike_c: not
a negative if mcdonalds admits it was not for customer benefit
mircea_popescu: mike_c "they know" is irrelevant. they don't give
a shit.
mircea_popescu: deadweasel someone deriving
a benefit from their activity does not immediately create
a right to realocation towards random bystanders.
mike_c: how paint stripper works at 170 parts per million, but company kept pushing the content for advertising "strongest", even though they know people open their paint stripper with
a screwdriver and will sometimes spill it on themselves.
mike_c: he made
a good analogy to paint stripper
mike_c: re: hot coffee. i took
a biz law class once, and this lawyer came in and convinced us all that the mcdonalds coffee woman was correct. it was impressive.
mike_c: *loss? well, the most recent was
a few weeks ago when i sold those C200T options :)
mike_c: if that's the worst thing that happens as you learn you are better off then
a lot of people (like me) who have to learn by repeatedly making costly financially errors.
benkay: wandering from bitcoin enclave to bitcoin enclave barefoot in
a robe
benkay: holding off carries added bonus of maybe reaping benefits of large batch production efficiencies, although i imagine
a large fraction of that'll be captured by nsa itself
mircea_popescu: basically it induces
a lot of uncertainty on your end, as in, you're not even sure what words mean so multiple restatements are actually beneficial because they'd expose errors ?
