mircea_popescu: fluffypony every god damned fucking noob does this. "oh, biggest ever" "let me tell you about my design"
mircea_popescu: <assbot> Nautiluscoin is cool because it incorporates everything learned about crypto so far, and its helmed by a famous fund manager / CNBC pundit << yeah, the max keiser string of scamcoins (keisercoin, auroracoin) all worked splendid.
mircea_popescu: bitcoinpete probably. it was quite popular for all of history, up until some american swindler noticed he can't really rob the punters blind with it.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla your scam green looking red has made me bet on the wrong side. WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT
mircea_popescu: no, it's not that bits want ot be free. it's that any sufficiently large bureaucracy wants to be fucked.
mircea_popescu: Much like your client, the facts of the claim won't quite fly.
mircea_popescu: "Like your client, the facts of the claim won't, quite, fly."
mircea_popescu: guy tells you not to grab his shirt, you fuckin' don't grab his shirt.
mircea_popescu: "She was lucky to get away with only a broken foot, but I guess that’s what happens when you don’t listen to something a millionaire tells you to do."
mircea_popescu: how the fuck is that thing "the hottest chick" anyone ever saw ?!
mircea_popescu: motive in english roughly works like casus in "casus belli"
mircea_popescu: i do not know there is anyone more incompetent alive today than people posing as lawyers for the us federal bureaucracy.
mircea_popescu: When the target of satire complains that it is defamatory, the relevant question is whether the satire can reasonably be taken as a statement of fact about its subject. Dr. Berkley, by saying that "of course" the satirical articles do not reflect the actual words of the subjects, has just proclaimed that the satire he is complaining about cannot be taken as a statement of fact.
mircea_popescu: "Of course Dr. White did not in fact participate in the interview and Dr. Koob did not write the letter attributed to him."
mircea_popescu: Berkley — who signs his letter "Dale D. Berkley, Ph.D., J.D."2 — begins by pre-refuting his own point:
mircea_popescu: rithm: i'll pay good bitcoin for a -assets tshirt << pinging nubbins ?
mircea_popescu: half hour later he was just about done introducing monotony when the bell rang
mircea_popescu: anyway, it's really difficult to take very intelligent people through a set itinerary. when challenged to prove cbs some other kid started with set theory.
mircea_popescu: (for people readng at home, cbs = cauchy-buniakowski-schwartz, a major stepping stone in liniar algebra/analysis)
mircea_popescu: so that term I used a "all obtuse angles are straight angles" lemma. blazed through the geometry section with it.
mircea_popescu: came up with, you may use any lemma you can, if asked after the paper, demonstrate at the blackboard. but if you can't, you get an F no matter what's in yoru thesis. hoping to shut us up.
mircea_popescu: we were superadvanced math class, and so the teacher getting bored of all the constant "but may we use CBS to prove this ?" "no" "Why the fuck not!"
mircea_popescu: here's an anecdote : back when i was in school tho, we did this "thesis paper" each trimester, which accounted for half the grade, in select subjects.
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves: Chrome was freezing so i went to uninstall it and i think i unistalled the whole os ui << MP on ubuntu fresh install. "Why the shit does this have internet ? Take it out". Ubuntu proceeds to mark everything as "to be uninstalled", all the way up to the kernel. Why ? BECAUSE FUCKTARDS MARK EVERYTHING AS A DEPENDENCY.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla: Your website is faster than 97% of all tested websites compared to 86% for bcoinnews.com , yet news get 99/100 and bitbet 83 << because it's not scored by performance, it's scored by you doing what they want you to do.
mircea_popescu: fluffypony: I'd rather not say to protect the guilty - he mismanaged stuff badly after that and the whole thing spiralled into recklessness and infamy << the company you keep.
mircea_popescu: mike_c now we only need bitcoinagility, bitcoinstrength, bitcoinendurance and bitcoinintelligence
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller: "compare it to the known losses of non scammor companies" <<ya, not sure if there are any of these around << you could count the 2012 mpex cdos i guess.
mircea_popescu: mike_c prev bump was 10%. and this does get increasingly hard as time goes by, too
mircea_popescu: there's obviously a nonzero chance that bitcoin has a -50% diff event during its lifetime. i wonder if it'll also be during our lifetime.
mircea_popescu: but there's just no way it makes 5.2bn gains in 2-3 periods.
