mike_c: and not a bad
thing either for it
to be restructured.
things change, quickly around here. I was just pointing out
that s.mpoe was a steady ride up until
the death of mpoe-pr, and
then bumpiness ensued.
mircea_popescu: mike_c> yeah. well, how long could mpoe have survived without mpoe-pr? << in fairness... mpex listed itself by reverse-merger with
the
then-listed mpoe ; which continued operation as a distinct profit center but
that has meanwhile discontinued. it's such a historical layering of evolutions etc
that some restructuring years later seems inevitable.
mike_c: heh, yeah, I can see
that being handy
mod6: well, maybe not best
thing, but ~a~ nice feature.
mod6: best
thing about irssi, it'll ask you if "you're sure" if you
try
to paste like more
than 5 lines or something.
mod6: took me a while
to get my conf setup
the way i liked it, but its been pretty much
the same now for 10 years probably.
shinohai likes
the ability
to switch between cli or webclient at any
time.
mike_c: no, I really am. just got
to get used
to it
shinohai: I used irssi long ago before my switch
to weechat.
mike_c: i am
trying irssi for first
time
mircea_popescu: ideally, while
the work is never easy, it's easiest for
the one doing it. at least, if capital allocation works worth a shit.
mike_c: Quite
the clean shutdown of a huge listing
too
mod6: maybe a good
time
to
take
the chance
to say;
Thanks for all
the hard work over
the years. I gather
that it's far from easy. Salud!
mike_c: I assume mpif can't be far behind, given
the lack of anything worth investing in..
talk about a dead zone for btc income investing.
mike_c: oh,
that little
thing about mpex going private?
mod6: wow. just saw
the news.
mike_c: is it still up in
the air?
mike_c: i see mp saying "i've got
the coin but am verifying lists", but not where
that ended up.
mike_c: after much combing of logs and blogs, I can't figure out whether mp decided
that davout was actually due another 200 btc and disbursement is pending, or if lists were still being checked and
there was not yet agreement
BingoBoingo: No,
the point is it is safest for
them
to stay because of
their immobilities and condishuns
shinohai: Why not let
the fuckers stay and
take bets on how long
the fat will burn?
mircea_popescu: OMFG! so
these useless imbeciles have added every last
thing
to utf EXCEPT A
TITS GLYPH ?
☟︎ trinque: mike_c: couple of days and I'll get ya both dumps and something
to poll for realtime data
mike_c: nothing wrong with
that. available db dumps would still be good for rebuilding from scratch if necessary
mircea_popescu: is
there anything substantially wrong with just polling a rss feed whenever your server feels like it ?
mircea_popescu: i
tell you one usercase (new eulora players) really makes me want moar realtime.
mike_c: not really. I currently suck in daily dumps. I'd be open
to some more realtime arrangement, which would require further
thought
mircea_popescu: anyway. epsilon just means "very small", in which case
the sentence works. i
think i actually like your definition better, in which case
the word is used frivolously, for stylistic effect.
☟︎ jurov: whether on infinitesimally small value can be "significantly" compared
to another
mircea_popescu: is your definition of epsilon "such a value
that nothing can be picked significantly smaller
than it" ?
jurov: unless
there are negative numbers in play or somesuch
jurov: dunno if anything can be significantly less
than epsilon
jurov: you actually worded it as "a is significantly less
than b, and b is less
than epsilon"
mircea_popescu: jurov> okay, i can see some
tortured logic how diana_coman reds it << what exactly is
tortured ? "a is less
than b, and b is less
than epsilon".
danielpbarron: if you link
the log,
that line gets a reference link
to where you mentioned it
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron> i love
the new log! v.nice with
the back and forward reference
thing << am i missing something ?
adlai now being contract-free, nestles down
to read
that other 'closing statement'
mircea_popescu: ditching
the
timestamps explicitly i can see, roll-over seems better
mircea_popescu: phf any chance we get
text/author separator vertical aligned ?
BingoBoingo: jurov: Erik settled with SEC over his
twitter GLBSE
thing
BingoBoingo: <jurov> he basically said
that
the notion
that some pretend-sovereign may have caused closure of bitbet is utterly ridiculous << Well gotta consider what happened soon after S.Dice delisted
jurov: okay, i can see some
tortured logic how diana_coman reds it
danielpbarron: what implication? he explicitly stated
that other people haven't stepped up
to make bitcoin better
jurov: i did not know what
to make of it and how it goes
together
diana_coman: I don't see
the link fiat pretend-sovereign - bbet
diana_coman: the way I read it, it says: a.
the fiat pretend-sovereign has nothing
to do with mpex going private b. bitbet did NOT die because of 17 btc
diana_coman: jurov, do you mean
this:
The notion
that some fiat pretend-sovereign or other has anything
to do with
this measure is significantly less sensible
than
the notion
that 17 Bitcoin and change is what caused
the closure of Bitbet, as ridiculous as
that notion may be.?
jurov: dunno what
that makes of
the chinese miners
theory
jurov: he basically said
that
the notion
that some pretend-sovereign may have caused closure of bitbet is utterly ridiculous
jurov: jus' asking if anyone understood it. or it was only exclusively aimed
to meta-trilema
ben_vulpes: consumers have come
to whatever it was
jurov: ^ calling our resident conspiration
theorist asciilifeform: why mircea_popescu feels necessary
to draw parallels with bitbet?
jurov: Fits
the mythology, i guess.
trinque: yep
the reference links are very nice.
thanks phf!
phf: since i fucked up
the
timezone again, had
to refresh
the log, so now inaugural first #t-a post belongs
to diana_coman
danielpbarron: i love
the new log! v.nice with
the back and forward reference
thing
phf: hehehe, sorry pete you're no longer first #t-a post, i discovered
that i had
timezone issue,
that's now been corrected
phf: (if people
trying
to access patches etc.
things are at present down)
shinohai: Yesterday: "I will *not* resign"
Today: "I quit"
mircea_popescu: bickering endlessly in
that
tedious, god forsaken unreadable style of dostoyevski's, about who should have done what or w.e
the fuck , i can never finish a page of his dialogue.
mircea_popescu: on
the other hand, imagine
the october revolution if EVERYONE involved had stayed small
time govt clerk/whatever
the fuck
they were. a ?
mircea_popescu: senescence'd be fine, if
the neotenous corpses HAD GROWN AT SOME FUCKING POINT.
mircea_popescu: from its humble beginnings as "i dunno if i'm ready for you
to move in yet"
to its full blown "i'm in bitcoin hurr durr", it's
the same
thing.
mircea_popescu: the bigger part of it however - is
the failure
to
thrive
thing.
