KRS-1: perhaps
a new novel material
KRS-1: not sure if the future is indeed bright or if we will eventually lead to
a dark age where there is minimal discovery..that kind of bothers me, because we're only improving but not changing
Diablo-D3: KRS-1: its not really
a board, its
a very thin wafer
Diablo-D3: it DOES however have
a limit of how close you can get to it
mircea_popescu: but yes, they probably don't have
a size in the classical sense
KRS-1: ah there we go...so photons do have
a size but no mass- that makes much more sense.
Diablo-D3: although you'd have to figure out how to measure the rest mass of
a photon
mjr___: srsly though, if any of these reporters were doing
a research project for
a freshman high school class, they would fail
KRS-1: we all have our own interests, whatever turns our crank, namean? I don't think it necessarily makes you
a loser if you are not part of the elite or mainstream.
mjr___: Diablo-D3: i hope to see
a 28nm process chip soon
kakobrekla: wait the point of this is to make
a buck?
KRS-1: true..but i'm interested, I dont care if its bitcoin, buttcoin, or fuckcoin, if it makes me
a buck I'd like to try it.
Diablo-D3: mircea_popescu: I'd be better off waiting for
a 28nm product.
Diablo-D3: however that translates closer to
a year since BFL apparently _is_ shipping
mircea_popescu: they will make maybe half
a btc
a day, if diff stays put
KRS-1: lol I'm more of
a domestic beer, maybe southern comfort and cigarettes kind of guy..the country boy in me
mjr___: and i think they've sold quite
a few batches
mjr___: i'm more of
a jameson and cigarettes guy than
a cognac and cigars guy
mjr___: finally starting to get
a good bitcoin sub-culture in nyc
mjr___: i was brokering
a $20,000 bitcoin buy today
mjr___: in fact, most people just call their dealers...hard to find
a vendor with
a location LOL
mjr___: i figure i can make
a decent amount of cash just market making
mjr___: its my favorite area of NYC, and my office is
a block away

a twitter feed
dub: KRS-1: like most music fads its popularity is
a wedge
KRS-1: my bad then..thanks for letting me know. I'll have to read up
a bit
dub: its normal for the cool kids in murica to lag behind by
a few years
mircea_popescu: right. because it's clear and established that anyone gives
a shit about "Regulators"
mircea_popescu: "Bitcoin likely has
a long way to go before regulators step in and start controlling the market, and once it does get there it may not be for the right reasons. "
dub:
A really excellent discussion of bitcoin. Amir is an articulate, passionate advocate...
mjr___: Australia looks like
a great place to live nowadays
KRS-1: lately there is
a growing fear that we're in serious debt to China and they are asking that civilians be disarmed. Our Homeland Security department is hording ammunition (Who in the hell are they going to use it against except us?).. Much doubt about our currency..security..
KRS-1: So, if I were to flee 1) Germany 2) Japan 3) Australia? Any other suggestions or does this seem like
a pretty decent list?
KRS-1: I'd definately do well in Japan- I love sushi/sashimi, although they eat some pretty weird stuff over there. If I ever have to leave the U.S.
A., Japan is on the radar for me also.
KRS-1: Hmm..probably, it just sounds so different than whatever I've been used to eating. I have
a pretty open mind approaching different cuisines. The only one I could never like is Indian food.
mircea_popescu: there's tripe soup,
a chicken and homemade noodle-like thing soup and others that are popular.
mircea_popescu: wait, so the great supernode is out of cash burnrate of 200k
a year for the next 8.5 hours ?
KRS-1: oh wow that was
a popeye reference..woa..long time

a fucking utopian dream

a way to use escrow's with bitcoin LOL
jurov: will someone do
a transcription? i don't understand him in person, not even on tube
mircea_popescu: who sold his biz and wanted to start
a stardom career.
kakobrekla: they gonna fuck that dude with
a bannana?
kakobrekla: I have currently increased the size of my organisation, and reserved some prime resources (such as the most expensive by far hotel suite in Finland) for my exclusive use. My burn rate is currently about $200,000 per month if I continue at this level. It may sound like much, but measured hourly, it is
a more understandable $278 (about 2,000mBTC). Since most of the resources are contracted at
a daily rate (such as the hotel) or even hourly (
mircea_popescu: we already had
a round earlier, when he was inviting me goat and satoshi
jurov: I was operating at
a peak $200k per month burnrate at that moment, so just out of curiosity I calculated, how large
a stash of bitcoins would be needed, to keep up such
a spending permanently.
jurov:
a cestina svetovy jazyk :)
KRS-1: and down i dont mean by
a lot, its been $135/$136 I mean down by $132/$130 maybe

jurov: "and in the top pic right under me woman behind chair is martha mcculler, my cto" << so you accidentally
a letter
mircea_popescu: e product to 75,000 and then to 50,000 units (for
a more targeted customer base). Birchbox only wanted to pay for
a purchase order of 400 units after receiving 50,000 units for free.
mircea_popescu: “Birchbox requested 300,000 units of
a product for free; in return, they said that could offer
a conservative purchase order of 400 units for that product if it was received well by their sampling audience.” Birchbox also requested
a special sample size, which Ms. Chan would need to create, that would yield at least 3 uses of the product. After Ms. Chan negotiated with them, they lowered the amount of requested fre
KRS-1: thickasthieves what
a good buy point ya think
mircea_popescu: if past data is any indication, say
a 200% upswing or 60% downswing causes losses of about 25%
ThickAsThieves: I wanted to do an options fund, but current pricing makes it seem like it'd most likely be
a loser as well
mircea_popescu: jurov maybe an idea is to get
a limited hedging involved.
benkay: success in comms is expressing things in
a way that everyone understands
benkay: that's more of
a signal to noise claim, sir.
