Vexual: in fact if picaso had a baby with a mid sixties acid party flyer, you'd imagine something like that poster
nubbins`: published a few books for people
nubbins`: we do a lot of shirts and posters for bands
nubbins`: it's about a 50/50 split between shirts and paper right now
nubbins`: used to be a hobby
nubbins`: i co-own a print studio :D
Vexual: do you have a printing business? or is it a hobby?
nubbins`: not much, just cut up a ton of paper
Vexual: im starting up a bitcoin legal firm, as soon as i can work out the word marco that puts a letterhead at the top with the words "Flee immediately!" as the message.
kakobrekla: a that, nothing new.
kakobrekla: >>Kakobrekla is the slanderous soul that I haven't ignored because I have to report so many of his posts. Now that this thread is turning against him he (or a mod, as usual) deleted these later posts, he should stop with the rambling because nobody listens to him.
mircea_popescu: a cool
mircea_popescu: i'm just giving it a little to see wtf exactly.
lyspooner: are you making prices still? looks n/a to me
mircea_popescu: a few days ago
asciilifeform: it was a paulgrahamoid
mircea_popescu: i suppose it's all lost by now, but at a time in human history before computers,
nubbins`: as a Foreigner (with a capital F), it was both good and bad
pankkake: a country that values video games players more than football players can't be that bad!
nubbins`: there was a starcraft tv station when i lived in sk :(
nubbins`: lel, "or try 'LALAPALOOZA' on them! that's a panic!"
pankkake: there's a game, but I can't find it, where you have to say if the person is korean, japanese, or chinese
nubbins`: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/b8/US_Army_How_To_Spot_A_Jap.png
mircea_popescu: "When I bent down and kissed him I got a better look at his features and could see he looked just like me and Arlette. He has my nose and my wife’s lips."
pankkake: why is that news? I thought it was a common occurence
mircea_popescu: benkay well obviously equity is capital at risk. bad things can happen. ideally the bad things happen as a result of legitimate business ventures rather than beerkegging obviously.
benkay: it's a product of the SV "investment" model
pankkake: or have a client with spellchecking
pankkake: I realize I make a lot of typos too on IRC
zist: "Paul: He who can destroy a thing, controls a thing"
mircea_popescu: it's a free world, everyone gets to the same spot on a path of his own choice.
mircea_popescu: "chief among them, that i'm a fucktard who shouldn't be even close to doing anything of the sort, as i've clearly proven by the thick cluelessness of the foregoing."
kakobrekla: >On some level I feel your pain. I've long wanted to start a bitcoin-settled version of Intrade (no, bitbets/betsofbitcoin/etc are not even close to being the same thing) and an exchange-cleared market for hashrate futures. But as a US citizen and resident it's illegal for me to do these things for at least a dozen different reasons.
mircea_popescu: which incidentally inspired a new mpex caption.
mircea_popescu: so it's only "major" in a theoretical sense, otherwise innocent mistake and all.
mircea_popescu: that's really the empire of the holder. if asciilifeform decides to convert his warrants in a bulk and dump them on the market for instance it'd be similar a result
jurov: <Ademan> [08:01:18] lol it's practically a boilerplate tg2 site << so nice to meet fellow coder :DDD

Ademan: buh uh, turbogears 2, was a neat python web application framework
Ademan: lol it's practically a boilerplate tg2 site
mircea_popescu: nope. jurov runs a full service broker
mircea_popescu: ;;later tell benkay: so "authorized float" means "that as what we sold at ipo", or pre-ipo as described on cryptome << no, it means the total # of shares actually having been issued. this starts as that which was sold at ipo, increases every time someone executes a stock warrant and every time the company issues more shares.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: a decentralized SR would live still. etc <<< it couldn't possibly, in that it'd have been made by the guy that hired his cocaine buyers to kill his cocaine curiers.
mircea_popescu: pankkake no, actually, it's about half a dozen people, mostly engaged in an all out war with the "press" establishment of teh english speaking computing world.
Ademan: lol somehow I knew that was a dangerous question to ask
mircea_popescu: in the same way a four star michelin restaurateur has from a purely marketing standpoint considered throwing a drive-in in there.
Ademan: from a purely marketing standpoint, have you ever considered throwing a stylesheet on there?
Ademan: mircea_popescu: can you give me a full disclosure on that statement? ;-)
mircea_popescu: Ademan http://trilema.com/2013/whats-a-sperglord/
benkay: just getting a rise out of you
nubbins`: so literally just the fact that it's not a plain text doc?
benkay: those make a modicum of sense
nubbins`: if you contribute to anything in any way it'll have been a surprise to all
benkay: if i contribute to the demise of print in any way it'll have been a good day's work
benkay: a calculus thing
nubbins`: you're like an old man in a lineup
nubbins`: i doubt he gives a red fuck how it looks on a computer screen, and why should he?
nubbins`: it was probably being sent to a journal to be published
nubbins`: creator of the doc obv didn't give a fuck how it looked on a computer screen
benkay: embedded in some fucking layer in that monstrosity of a transmission?
benkay: my complaint was about a specific case
nubbins`: you're trying to generalize a specific case
benkay: information clearly taking a backseat to arbitrary presentation guidelines written by an obsolete industry.
nubbins`: if he intended to make a shit-looking document, well, too bad
nubbins`: it's a question of presenting information in a standard way
nubbins`: it's not a question of aesthetics
benkay: at least that preserves the notion of a character stream
nubbins`: what else are you gonna send, a .doc?
nubbins`: a pdf looks the same on every system
benkay: can i get that info into my brain in a more pleasantly formatted way?
benkay: a thing about which i give zero shits
nubbins`: there's no better way for me to guarantee that if i send you a document, it'll look exactly the same to you as it does to me
mike_c: they created it like that out of habit, not out of a thought-out decision as to what would be best these days.
uhh: i'd say they do have an influence on how pdfs are presented on a computer screen
nubbins`: (i know, that's a really open-ended question)
nubbins`: unless you have the option to read these papers in a format that's a good fit for your screen?
nubbins`: if they wanted you to not print it, they wouldn't have made it a pdf
uhh: only because you are a printing guy doesn't give you the right to promote old school technology. who uses paper these days?
benkay: i have in mind hiring a designer
gribble: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=piff | superior to the average. Also a potent strain of weed/canibus of purple color.
uhh: then PIF is probably a good choice for you
benkay: "All future share issuance will be made only a) through selling of new shares on MPEx"
jurov: admittedly, it may be a bit clearer
jurov: (a) No Such lAbs will offer one block of 100`000`000...etc
pankkake: I'm not sure I ever used a shopify website
asciilifeform: a decentralized SR would live still. etc
asciilifeform: in a sufficiently-hostile environment, full decentralization (of mechanical function, if not necessarily administration) is the only answer.
benkay: in any event, the dilution rules are a little hazy, and i'm a little stupid and prone to making outrageous claims for my betters to correct.
asciilifeform: carried on a correspondence of sort with mp since writing a piece on his creation (http://www.loper-os.org/?p=1108)
asciilifeform: in fact, full disclosure time! i'm not a 'serious btc persona (TM)', just an amateur maths type. ~3btc to my name.
asciilifeform: if i'm not mistaken, the s.nsa listing text is based on that of s.mg (and to a lesser extent, others)
asciilifeform: so, the way i understand, any new shares are automatically priced at a moving average of a long period preceding the issue.
asciilifeform: benkay: read the listing (written by mp, not me); there is a promise not to dilute
pankkake: did that bring a lot of traffic?
asciilifeform: cryptome's a classic
asciilifeform: pankkake: decoy. the real 'intel cpu vulnerability facility' is: a fax machine at ft. meade, where intel sends them the dirt directly, for free.
BingoBoingo: That pic has so much jizz. Jizzy lens or a Mirror selfie?
