ThickAsThieves: but i get it i guess

thestringpuller: i'm using putty too
deadweasel: oh well. i don't trade enought to purchase charting sfotware. but i want it.
taub: yea, i can sell, but the buy function doesn't work dunno
ThickAsThieves: i think mp's point may be when individuals release power of problem solving to a group
thestringpuller: When I think of pure individual contribution I think of people like Tesla.
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller no i get that part. but what's me having a board / employees to do with the group mindset ?
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: I misquoted I'm sorry. I meant the latter.
mircea_popescu: dub hehe i am dealing with it.
mircea_popescu: dub pff. i always use condoms.
mircea_popescu: i think so. how do i depend ?
thestringpuller: or am I viewing this from a confused viewpoint?
taub: i hate them so much :(
mircea_popescu: so a little ago i used a flavoured condom to buttseks. the girl is now claiming she can taste teh flavour.
mircea_popescu: i guess there must be
kakobrekla: overridden in my stance of not providing dates. I fully realize this statement will probably sneak up and bite me in the ass at some unspecified future date due to reasons I can't possibly imagine at the moment.
kakobrekla: the final authoritative say in the matter, will not contain shipping dates or definitive timelines. The one and only answer to "When?" is "When it's done." If you get something other than that from me on future product cycles, you'll either get it by that date or I have been
kakobrekla: 20x and that describes the past 6+ months. Like I said earlier in this thread (or maybe it was another one) - the timelines were doled out long before I came on board with BFL. I have worked with what I was handed for this product cycle. Future product cycles, assuming I have
kakobrekla: Then stop demanding hard and fast timeframes for things that we can't give hard and fast timeframes for. Simple as that. I say multiple times "We aren't sure when <fill in the blank>" and a chorus of people respond back "BUT GIVE US AN ESTIMATE!!!!" Repeat that about
Chaang-Noi: i slept 4 hours last night... if that...
dub: I hear theres some moosecock in space atm
Chaang-Noi: i bet the have a lot of whales in canada
mircea_popescu: i know what it is.
Chaang-Noi: lol i dont think iv ever seen anyone type out ambergris or even know someone who knew what it was
dub: at a guess I'd say he uses recycled mcdonalds burger wrappers
Chaang-Noi: i have a bunch of the 10 btc silver ones and got them when 10 btc = an oz of silver
Chaang-Noi: i did buy it when btc was worth much less than now
Namworld: I'll take it wooden for all I care.
Chaang-Noi: 1000 btc coin is solid gold .999 i has one
mircea_popescu: i think they also have gold content no ?
dub: i was lucky to break 200 and running so hot they barf after a few hours
mircea_popescu: also i hope nassim taleb reads that and gets all pissed off.
unbalanced_: Not I, but good post man!
ThickAsThieves: not me, but I do love the word prescience
benkay: which i will ship to iceland
benkay: i'm about 1/10th of the way into talking my way into free development boxes from them
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves well i'm not even counting the usual scammy " X % of shares are reserved for management" with sliding X
ThickAsThieves: i think this is also evidence that a split share AM asset would do well
ThickAsThieves: shit i'm so stupid, I shouldve boght AM blades amd then IPO'd at 10x
ThickAsThieves: i dunno, i think thats the guy who runs the BF bot
kakobrekla: hey hey i got proprietary rights on that syntax
mircea_popescu: i have no idea what that is.
kakobrekla: btw, i just revived https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=119338.msg1979975#msg1979975
rikur: no like I said I just hope that they realy look into the arguments properly and take their time to resolve it in a fair way
rikur: ThickAsThieves: nope, my argument is that the product page has never advertised wattage and I know this since I've ordered from them twice.
rikur: mircea_popescu: thanks, but I know my rights well enough
rikur: mircea_popescu: it only costs <300$ and I would win more bitcoins in this case, so it would be worth a shot
rikur: I might sue bitbet.us over this for sure :)
jborkl: oh, I would have rear the bet +- of 5gh or w\e
mircea_popescu: i don't think they'd count as failed for overdelivering
rikur: mircea_popescu: please show me a single product page link that has wattage mentioned, from any date. If you don't have one, I think the April 4th link is valuable :)
mircea_popescu: dude i'm hot stuff.
kakobrekla: http://i.imgur.com/pXyy3.png
ThickAsThieves: i do think them changing the specs advertised is sneaky
rikur: But I hope whoever resolves it really goes through the arguments and doesn't just pick one on a whim
rikur: mircea_popescu: sorry but no I
ThickAsThieves: more that i dont care
mircea_popescu: http://i.imgur.com/5MBoA.png
mircea_popescu: http://i.imgur.com/pXyy3.pngand
ThickAsThieves: i'm pretty sure specs changed
jborkl: I do not have a bet at all
mircea_popescu: i would guess only bets clearly specifying it would be allowed.
mircea_popescu: i think it was said a thousand times that a. specs are hash and power and b. the specs at the time of the bet count
ThickAsThieves: rikur, I could swear that there used to be power specs on the page, also that the advertised GHs used to be higher for some products
dub: mircea_popescu: this was 6 months or so back, I assumed there was a train wreck coming at that point
rikur: ThickAsThieves: the product page has never mentioned any wattage, just GH/s. I pre-ordered products twice and never saw wattage mentioned anywhere, so if you ask me the No voters are just coming up with excuses.
dub: mircea_popescu: I got a distinctly manic response from him when I asked his wife about the legality of her internet bakery
mircea_popescu: i'm not even sure what's the take away. the dazzling display of paranoia
ThickAsThieves: not sure which side I would lean toward
rikur: I only have a small vote on the May one :)
dub: I'm the scam whisperer
dub: I need some form of merit badge
ezdiy: i knew it
Diablo-D3: I WIN
kakobrekla: http://casascius.wordpress.com/2013/04/24/i-made-a-video-as-a-reply-to-ron-paul/
Diablo-D3: I just wanna know if that 53 btc bid went through
Diablo-D3: THE SUSPENSE IS… well, not really doing anything for me at all. I get dividends no matter what.
lippoper1: (2:55:05 PM) Diablo-D3: I only want to hear those words out of a woman.
Diablo-D3: I only want to hear those words out of a woman.
Diablo-D3: I dont remember much of programming back then
Diablo-D3: benkay: I was programming before that, C wasnt my first language
ThickAsThieves: i excel at other things
ThickAsThieves: not the kind of brain i have
ThickAsThieves: i was programming qbasic when i was in highschool, and some pascal, it was useful to learn coding concepts, especially since i got into web design after, but coding is much too tedious for me
Diablo-D3: I'll rapidly iterate multiple designs during the 10% though
Diablo-D3: benkay: I kind have always been that
lippoper1: then I just come to the conclusion that with the remaining 10% of the time I will not be able to do it to the best of my ability and move on
ThickAsThieves: i'm also not a programmer
ThickAsThieves: i'm a fan of iteration and learning by doing
Diablo-D3: I keep whamming right into KISS hard
lippoper1: I sit there and I think about it for 90% of the time
benkay: i'm at a point in my development where i need to fail and iterate rapidly
lippoper1: that's why I barely do anything
benkay: that's why i'm diving into clojure
