thestringpuller: i thought it was about having a usenet group

mircea_popescu: i guess self selected scope ?

thestringpuller: i will buy it for 1 bitcoin

mircea_popescu: i suppose they periodicly audit make sure no ex-linode employe is running a promiscuous sniffer anywhere on their network.

mircea_popescu: suppose i eavesdrop it and repeat.

jcpham: i like dwolla at first, now meh

jcpham: i expected more when i picked an arbitrarily high number

mircea_popescu: i think a runup much more likely.

jcpham: i doubt it'll happen but that's interesting

mircea_popescu: i heard that name somehow before!

jurov: sorry i mixed it up

kakobrekla: i have a friend with a whole bladecenter intalled for some tiny change cause hosting co made a lousy contract

kakobrekla: i dunno what the deal was but it ready just wrong

kakobrekla: no, i could not guess THAT

dub: nyRednek: sorry I thought that was the subject

mircea_popescu: now, understandably the political decision was made that this wouldn't be acceptable. but this is a purely internal affair of the us. i can sorta see why they thought this too :

mircea_popescu: i don't see how. donner party patent method maybe ?

iz: hmm.. okay, i think i'm understanding what you're saying

iz: if one of the largest world economies tried to do what iceland did, i think it would cause worldwide economical harm

iz: so yeah.. i think they can only get away with that because they were so small relative to the rest of the world economy

iz: that's what i thought also

mircea_popescu: as far as i understand, the iceland thing was simply : banks are a private issue, the state does not back banks. figure it out.

mircea_popescu: i don't think so.

iz: i thought they just said we don't owe anything

iz: i don't understand why you say there isn't a "too much"

iz: mircea_popescu: i think it would affect the world economy too much

mircea_popescu: i can see why they tried, at the time, and why they couldn't stop, after they tried.

mircea_popescu: i happen to think the same thing.

iz: i hate it when ppl try to argue with me that the US should have just followed iceland's lead and let all the banks fail instead of bailing them out

mircea_popescu: iz i guess mostly cause they were small.

iz: yeah, i'd tend to agree

mircea_popescu: this incidentally is exactly why i wouldn't buy the whole us for five bitcoins right now : pretty much made up entirely of this sort of stupid.

mircea_popescu: but i am kinda amused at the newb krugerite coming here and giving me advice about mpex and then getting offended when i don't happen to share his ignorance of economy.

mircea_popescu: i'd be willing to take bets that by 2015 the us economy will actually be smaller than germany's economy.

nyRednek: guys, let me know when mircea_popescu stops talking out of its ass so i can unignore

iz: whoops, i meant this one: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_(nominal)_per_capita

mircea_popescu: and for that matter, i too can write 10000000000000000 dollah on pieces of paper and trade it back and forth with the girls

mircea_popescu: and isn't dhs the dept of welfare i mean human services ?

nyRednek: i mean the ashes of what used to be the US's GDP

nyRednek: the security issues regarding java have been many, so i tend to agree with OHS on this one

nyRednek: smickles, i'm thinking it's more the liberty thing...the state is depriving you of liberty by snooping on you(privacy is a safeguard of free speech)

jcpham: do i get to share than revenue stream also?

jcpham: oh wait i can select another spouse

mircea_popescu: http://i.imgur.com/3zWPK.jpg

nyRednek: smickles, i believe, so

smickles: i don't like that idea

nyRednek: smickles, i've done it a few times, you have my sympathies

mircea_popescu: that's how i'd have it. you want to make a new law ? gotta wipe old one first, make space.

smickles: jcpham: you threatent to pay me once, i've got it in writing

jcpham: i've never made a death threat that i know of

smickles: jcpham: well, as I understand it, you can threaten to kill all you want if its a joke, but proving it's a joke can be tricky in some situations

jcpham: but what if i have down's syndrome and i'm not actually a threat

jcpham: like if i threaten to kill you i need to own a weapon first?

dub: smickles: I asked my canukistani friend if it signified anything, apparently not

nyRednek: same as screaming, "i'm gonna fuck you up, piggy"

mircea_popescu: i would guess it'd depend if they enjoyed it

jcpham: i think ejaculating on an officer might be felony territory

smickles: dub: he claimed that I had a tail light out, it wasn't true, so he gave me an 'unwritten warning'

mircea_popescu: nyRednek i would have imagined not speaking english is disorderly conduct

jcpham: public indecency i suppose

mircea_popescu: i wonder what sort of misdemeanor it is if you just jack off while the cop tries to talk to you

smickles: dub: I was driving

nyRednek: smickles, the best vague answer, "i don't know what you're talking about, officer"

smickles: now i'm spooked by the last time I was pulled over, and didn't say a wort to the cop

mircea_popescu: i guess that's why they like a lot of them "low information voters" around.

nyRednek: smickles, one or the other, i'm not following the case as closely as i should, tbh

smickles: i wonder if that means that any shareholder of S.DICE is breaking this law

mircea_popescu: i imagine a large part of the problem was that bvps suddenly seemed very small, in btc terms

mod6: i don't know what the problem was there

mod6: right. everytime i have a question or something, you're there pretty quick to help

mircea_popescu: so just how fucking hard it is to go /query mircea_popescu hey dude here's what i want to do, does it work how should i do it

mircea_popescu: or i charge a bitcoin per line to advise or anything.

mircea_popescu: which is possibly the only part i'd complain about it. not like im not fucking here all the rtime

mircea_popescu: Namworld i understand there's no ill will.

smickles: the whole idea of using gpg with the wot revolved around contracts, if he gave his personal signing ability to someone else, i can't be sure that any contract I sign with that key has ever been "real"

dub: I doubt he gives a shit

mod6: That's the first neg rating i've given out. I'd like to hear from rg about all of this though.

jcpham: after i made him auth

jcpham: i bought some silver from grubles

mod6: yeah i saw that

mircea_popescu: i guess people just don't realise that's the absolute limit of what you can't do.

jcpham: i unrate drama cases

smickles: Namworld, arij i'd like you know that I don't fault you guys for using the keys tho

mod6: err, sorry. what keys were given out? i've been ill so im just trying to catch up

arij: Nam was taking care of that, I've never personally used mpex

smickles: well, at all. I mean how were you able to run the command on mpex?

mircea_popescu: ;;rate rg -1 from what I understand person no longer has sole control of private key. ☟︎

mircea_popescu: smickles from what i heard.

mircea_popescu: "o, i fell into a trap"

mircea_popescu: That brings me to the final point. I initially intended to teach the community a lesson about trust, I did not expect anyone to really take the bets and thus I did not expect to keep any profits. As the bets grew though, I was tempted with greed and I fell into a trap.

mircea_popescu: "o, sorry, i has no marketable skills other than selling you ppl's bitcoinz. pls to take me back"

mircea_popescu: "I've survived entirely on bitcoin for a whole year. " ☟︎

nyRednek: smickles, i was assuming it was a federal law, as well, due to the interstate nature of the order

smickles: mircea_popescu: the article i just skimmed said that the ny judge 'shut them down'

mircea_popescu: smickles i presume cause nobody wants to do business with them anymore because nobody's sure if they have or haven't backdoored

Bugpowder_: that is what i said

nyRednek: smickles, i'll look, it might actually be in the new york code

Luke-Jr: I'm not curious enough to read that long thing

smickles: nyRednek: not under that law, i'm sure

smickles: and is the only federal online gambling law i've yet read
