BitHub: i just love going to china town and buying 10 ray ban sunnies for the price of 1
mircea_popescu: i should get paid by shitproduct for this.
mircea_popescu: then when i say superior people misunderstand me, thus making me explain.
Bugpowder: I think it is being read fairly broadly by the community
bgupta: When was that? I thought that it was still up in the air?
pigeons: god i hope we never have apple "quality" products from anyone
BitHub: btw i'm still buying patents in exchange for btc
pigeons: i would say apple existing is a troll
Bugpowder: I would say Apple suing Samsung, or Carnegie Mellon suing Marvell is not a patent troll.
benkay: bugpowder ooh with mutagenesis awesome i need sauce tho
pigeons: trademark abuse i think should be prosecuted under fraud and is a valid form of ip
mircea_popescu: Bugpowder i fail to see a difference between patent trolls and any other ip rights trolls.
Bugpowder: asciilifeform: I have some knowledge of the fields in which I invite debate.
Bugpowder: I thought patent trolls are people that sue that are not acutally using the patent, NPEs for example.
vampireb: i am quiet sure that humans adapted to food too in the last 100 years... well look at all these fatties in US
vampireb: i dont have strong feelings about GMO, but everyone is NY is crazy about "organics" food..
mircea_popescu: Bugpowder i think it's potentially bad.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform okay. i guess they might have to then.
mircea_popescu: im not sure i follow.
bgupta: Well, I am thinking that it could swing to the other direction of totalatarianism.. in the US we are seeing a steady erosion of our freedoms, as the surveillance state becomes a reality.
dub: oh I saw a good quote in -dev for you MP
mircea_popescu: no, i'm not assuming that.
mircea_popescu: i don't think so. without a cheap and effective way to maintain informational supremacy and without control of wealth transfer there simply can't be a state.
bgupta: perhaps a bit hyperbolic? but I get your gist.
mircea_popescu: funny. i wonder if the roman empire had rules about barbarian shaving practices right before odoacer
assbot: I haven't understood a single word you've said since I met you, not one single word.
Bugpowder: I need these diff futures to close so I can buy this S.DICE
kakobrekla: in theory i could but you would be banned now
smickles: i've hardly any idea who runs canada.
smickles: lol, dub it's not like i think she could actually exercise that power
dub: every times smickles trots out some alex jonesism I die a little
smickles: ya know, from what i understand about the retained prerogitive, the queen could prevent the prime minister of canada from taking office after being elected
[\\\]: oh right, because I'm in the UK school system
mircea_popescu: i'd even settle for "you can't X because you suck"
[\\\]: I'm pretty certain Britain doesn't tell everyone they're equal to anyone
mircea_popescu: and also i blame the equalitarian atmosphere in the english speaking world. there's no worse form of child abuse than telling them they're equal to anyone.
mircea_popescu: i blame the education system.
mircea_popescu: for the past two years i've been drowning in well meaning idiocy. it's a fate worse than death.

BitHub: what a proud moment i thought it was going to take me all year
BitHub: wow i've made enough coins to quit and go make a movie
mircea_popescu: Bowjob i think the argument is misplaced. unless you actually NEED the btc, having the shares produces future revenue. even one satoshi is revenue

pizzaman1337: ok, I'd like to be wrong
pizzaman1337: pigeons: I'd like to hope with them as I'm a shareholder (just hold a little)
pizzaman1337: I think it's only a matter of time before the BTC price affects S.DICE bet volume
Bowjob: i saw some whale playing, he lost 400 BTC on one bet or something
Bowjob: i got out at 0.75 and 0.62, lets see where this goes
Bowjob: I like how ian says more people will gamble on dice the higher the price
Bowjob: I've seen S.Dice tanking honestly

Bowjob: i was cleaning my room.. them bam! 62

kakobrekla: i might not have that.
jurov: so when i name the exchange right, assbot is polite?
assbot: i dont fail

assbot: I haven't understood a single word you've said since I met you, not one single word.

smickles: "< mircea_popescu> miscounted them digits" << I made it easier to read $depth <asset> now
topace__: this might be 100% unrelated to the new switch i just installed yesterday, or it might be 100% because of the new switch
topace__: wonder why traceroute doesnt go through that when i traceroute from my office
pigeons: i hear it all the time one way or another as "it works on my box" usually from the developer
jcpham: i lose the route at hop 32... looks like jupiter or uranus
deadweasel: reminds me, I need to do some work. thx!
benkay: only making charts that i need to make
deadweasel: i'm curious
benkay: i'm sitting on a train and the coffee place is closed
benkay: more accurately, charting stuff is a thing that i like to do
benkay: i like charting things
deadweasel: i'm fairly sure I could make the data say what I want it to say, if I really tried, so I just go with my gut
deadweasel: true, I have run no numbers on that. It's my gut feeling.
benkay: deadweasel i have a hunch you're right
deadweasel: i'm holding some for a long long time. just as an experimento
benkay: thanks unbalanced, i'm more interested in mktcap on a per-asset basis
