dub: its
a lie because CONSPIRACY
dub: because if science is wrong because the carbon market du jour is
a scam..
mircea_popescu: hitler can not be possibly far behind, i've yet to see worhtless shits with delusions of grandeur simply bowing down into the dirt without
a fight.
mircea_popescu: VanCleef
a generation of kids that grew up being told they're special at home, at school and on tv moves on to be told it's "exceptional" by the politicians.
pankkake: global warming: "here is what I found out, can't tell you how, you're
a bad person if you disagree"
mircea_popescu: If you don’t have
a generative account of why your formulas and coupling constants look the way they do (
a generative account which itself makes falsifiable predictions), you’re not doing science – you’re doing numerology.
pankkake: ESR has
a genetic diformity or something
kakobrekla: anyway i can remove it as easily as i have added it, if we have
a problem with it
mircea_popescu: dub your objection just was that some random dork doesnt LOOK like
a scientist ?
kakobrekla: i didnt know dms.selling was
a fund until now
kakobrekla: global warming is the reason i never got
a grade in agrometeorology
dub: he's
a recognised crackpot
mircea_popescu: i could certainly do with
a different set of pretend-scientists reaching "consensus"es
dub: my arugument is that arguing about the subject is
a flat earth discussion
mircea_popescu: pankkake not
a bad read. remarkable how we don't hear anything about the ozone layer these days.
ozbot: How to Manufacture
a Climate Consensus - WSJ.com
mircea_popescu: that objection aside, even accwepting
a 150 year term, blind to the fact that people in 1850 had such bad instrumentation most ofg their other measurements in chemistry are significantly off etc, you're still barely up to
a second and
a half rather than half
a second.
mircea_popescu: TomServo im not throwing it out. i am merely observing you can't, from
a scientific perspective, put too much weight on it.
mircea_popescu: not on me to demonstrate some shapeless item is not
a fish.
mircea_popescu: dub note that the onus is on you to prove your putative fish is
a fish,
dub: because I'm human, I need the fish to actually hit my face before its
a fish
mircea_popescu: and i shall be turned into
a pillar of salt for doubting the word of "science"
pankkake: well according to actual science we're supposed to enter
a cooling period
mircea_popescu: pankkake it was global warming up until it became obvious
a global cooling is morel ikely on the short (ie, centuries) term
mircea_popescu: earth is 4.5 bn years old. the average house exists for 45 years. making predictions of future earth temperatures based on 50 years sample is not unlike making prediction of house temperatures based on
a number of measurements taken during the span of
a half second.
mircea_popescu: it's kind of shocking to me someone can sit there and posture as if "science", on the basis of fifty years worth of geological measurements thart were extrapolated backwards to create
a dataset that's then extrapolated forwards in time.
mircea_popescu: dub dead serious. global warming is basically
a bunch of politicos consipiring to attack legitimate scientists
pankkake: who also tend to use
a lot of "believe"
pankkake: "denial" shouldn't be
a word used by those who pretend to be scientific
mircea_popescu: herp. i knew i was gonna run into that. refusal to submit to an attempt to create
a larger market for the mafia interest through liberal application of bad science should be disclosed as
a liability!!1
pankkake: if price changes +20% add
a P for Panic?
mircea_popescu: also that 1973 thing TRIEd to be
a trend and
a standard at least three times and failed every time.
pankkake: every little twist of the font is there for
a reason
random_cat: of course, the standard is the quarterly report.... so.... let the shareholders wait
a quarter :>
random_cat: it would be nice to generate some eu style financial reports... just the basics.... income, balance, cash flow... on
a nice lined sheet css... and
a couple notes from the operator
random_cat: yes. i haven't made any beer in
a couple years. i left my eqipment in ohio, but now i am on the west coast
random_cat: me; my sister is
a lawyer, so i should know
random_cat: (obviously at different dosage levels -- has anyone done massive (significant fractions of
a gram) lsd?
random_cat: paracetamol + alcohol is
a danger zone for sure (probably more dangerous than aspirin + alcohol)
mircea_popescu: paracetamol is
a quite feasible if unpleasant way to do yourself in.
pankkake: yeah, paracetamol isn't
a good idea at high dosage or long-term
mircea_popescu: but it doesn't get better than "kids" because we don't actually have
a clue wtf causes it.
pankkake: Aspirin should not be taken by people who are allergic to ibuprofen or naproxen,[67][68] or who have salicylate intolerance[69][70] or
a more generalized drug intolerance to NSAIDs, and caution should be exercised in those with asthma or NSAID-precipitated bronchospasm.
mircea_popescu: random_cat reye's syndrome, kids under 12ish aren't prescribed aspiring if they ahve
a fever because of it.
mircea_popescu: well lsd in particular is quite lulzy for
a schedule i substance
benkay: pandora is going to do
a share offering
kakobrekla: in case of multiple trades we have
a weighted price
mod6: i saw another mpex trade with "(2)" stuck on the end in my @BitOTTer stream. Does it have
a special meaning?
Urushiol: hah, that is indeed
a possibility.
jurov: Urushiol: alternative explanation is everyone knows ActM is
a scam and nobody minds
Kleeck__: They were good dudes, with good ideas. Most of what they did was PR (as far as holders could see) and now they're getting
a Full-time PR Firm to do that.
Duffer1: wouldn't take much of
a dump to utterly destroy the price of am
gesell1: is there
a embedded delay when selling on campbx, even when selling at market price?
frb: i fixed
a signing bug in Electrum recently so I dealt with this exact issue
Namworld: The softwares are free and don't bring in revenue you say? It's
a "lenght matters" type of issue.
kakobrekla: good to know for when ill be on who wants to be
a millionarie
Rulother___: This is
a first for Havelock to have
a higher price than BTCT for labcoin
ozbot: tkone is
a cheater
Scrat: next one is going to be
a 40%
pankkake: well there is
a working website
ThickAsThieves: did this letsdice thing turn out to be
a scam or what?
Scrat: ThickAsThieves: I think of it like this: more people have to work on clients full time, this isnt
a hobby any more
ThickAsThieves: that $600k doesnt come without
a price, i can tell you that much
dexX7: the armory thing is
a bit odd.. how do they monetize it?
Rulother___: I was at
a get together when I got an alert I thought I would never get in
a while lol
Scrat: ThickAsThieves: like
a wife still defending the abusive husband
gesell: im just thinking of reasons for why it might not just be
a FIAT exit.
ThickAsThieves: suppose it's two rival exchanges, and
a large buyer taking
a position
gesell: ThickAsThieves: yeah, so we have someone buying millions (in value of $)
a pop. This is
a lot of fiat exiting. Also, iit's been happening long enough, for weeks, that cant imagine someone is doing this because of risk over time
ThickAsThieves: gesell, i know myself that when buying certain stocks I can attempt to pace my buying, but when volume is too low the waiting becomes
a risk
gesell: ThickAsThieves: why are there so many large buys?
A buying force wouldn't create this. The buyer would still want to get the cheapest price, not jack it up as the current whales seem to be doing
ThickAsThieves: gesell, whether it's because of withdrawal issues on Gox or elswhere, my working theory is still that there seems to be
a paced buying force. Just as, when volume was higher, there were paced selling forces. I'm guessing this drawn-out rally will not be able to avoid moving the price as much as they'd like though, particularly considering that the market is looking for
a cue to manifest
gesell: dexX7: what i monitored and showed in the post was $3m in BTC and FIAT compbined. (some in FIAT to place buys, some in BTC to place phantom ask walls). But this has been going on now for
a few weeks so $20m is just
a rough guess
dexX7: sorry, got to go afk for
a few mins
gesell: dexX7: the other exchanges only now met the initial shock price from
a few weeks back
gesell: dexX7: at first i thought the phatom wall could be so that you push the asks beneith that, in effect setting an upper bound forcing
a lot of asks to go lower than maybe they would have normally. this would benefit you as an investor because you'd get coin for cheaper when you buy. Still.... if the play is because you want cheaper coin, or because you want to have
a shock ralley... it's not because of withdrawal
dexX7: but gox still acts as market leader, so if you do want to cash out, i don't see how
a ralley could hurt, because other exchanges follow usually
gesell: dexX7: yeah my thought was if your purpose is to get FIAT out of gox you would want to avoid
a ralley, especially one that might create issue with you removing your FIAT via another exchange
dexX7: or it is because you might think: if you want to solely cash out, you don't want to induce any market reaction, thus no "i try to trigger
a ralley" moves?
dexX7: cool, but i don't get it. if you place (manipulative) ask walls, you want the plankton to out-ask (xD) you to eat all their cheaper coins. when you release the wall + send
a larger market order, that's fine, also, because you might think this could trigger an smallish ralley -- i don't see
a conflict here? he wants cheaper coins (if that all is correct), either way to manipulate bitcoin
mircea_popescu: .6 is not even
a round lol. i don't even know anyone who'd sign for less than about 5mn by now.
Duffer1: ah i suppose you're right. i'm not used to thinking of .6mil as
a small amount
mircea_popescu: they're hoping they maybe come up with something. at least it's
a known brand that's known for actually doing something.
mircea_popescu: "OCCUPY WALL STREET and its allied movements around the country are more than
a walk in the park. They are most likely the start of
a new era in America." Jeffrey Sachs
thestringpuller: cause, yea, he can just dump all the data to
a .3DS file including animation
