Diablo-D3: speaking of legal, I wish we had a bitlawyer

mircea_popescu: on the third try but they did it. gpg has a curve.
pigeons: again, has havelock ever shown a non-doctored statement yet?
mircea_popescu: Dr-X prolly public access to the trade chan is a thing of limited timespan

mircea_popescu: but that's exactly what a ratio is neh ?
midnightmagic: delicious. if you ever get a chance, try one or two of the berries. transcendent flavour experience. :)
mod6: Check this out: During the American Revolution, wintergreen leaves were used as a substitute for tea, which was scarce.
midnightmagic: mod6: That's a little like what the berries taste like.
mod6: I've been to the east coast a number of times. The only thing I learned while there is everyone is a larger asshole than back home, and no one stops for red lights.
mod6: but im from Minnesota, and I spent a large amount of time in Arizona.
mod6: I had a female prodding me to leave the house/computer and do some berry picking. worked out well, got some nice ones.

mircea_popescu: lol this guy's a bear.
pigeons: i used to be a fax server when i was young
mod6: hahah, do you run a ice cream parlor?
midnightmagic: yeah i don't understand that. there's a simple metric to finding the best ice cream in a store..
midnightmagic: The value of mining is a finite value and can't exceed some fraction of the value of the bitcoin economy..
midnightmagic: good lord no. ASIC producers are internally parasitic. The value derives from a parasitic self-consumption of economic worth.
mircea_popescu: nobody's to evaluate the value of keeping a tx in the blockchain
mircea_popescu: this is a moot question
mod6: but... that doesn't mean there couldn't be a better way to do it either.
mircea_popescu: there's a relation ?
midnightmagic: geh.. Voorhees is such a weird gonzo
mircea_popescu: http://trilema.com/2013/whats-a-rogue-state/ like ?
mircea_popescu: i guess if you can't afford a rapier or w/e
midnightmagic: no way. Not much earlier than my grandfather's era, ignoring someone who said hello to you was a punch-out-able offence.
mircea_popescu: i was jus' ribbin ye a little.
midnightmagic: And in the sense that the leader of some political party has raised a family to be essentially unfettered, dress-wise.
midnightmagic: If she was, then.. why? Who's her audience? A bunch of stuffy people at a calm atmosphere restaurant where people are coming in from the cold (it was damn cold) and eating soup in their flannels?
mod6: haha, wow. i probably wouldt have given it a second thought. i must be a savage.
mircea_popescu: she's a teen! she's supposed to go around barebutt
midnightmagic: Bare asses of unknown other people mean bare asses are sitting on the seats I sit in. It reminded me of how unhygienic being out for dinner is and I like to suspend my disbelief for a little while.
midnightmagic: I saw her grand-daughters bare ass at a dinner once. she was wearing a mini-skirt and kept hugging people taller than she is.
midnightmagic: mod6: Apparently some of us do like to vote for a loser. Elizabeth May is in office. :)
mircea_popescu: it's not rational, it's quite the opposite. but it has a historical record of conservation success.
midnightmagic: Here, each vote *used* to deliver some small amount of federal funding to the party voted for as a way of fostering independent third parties.
mod6: people usually vote their wallets, and additionally always pick the precived winner before hand. voters don't like to vote for a loser, even if that candidate is more closely aligned with their political philosiphies.
mircea_popescu: voting is just a cheap method of statistically obtaining a call from the multitude.
midnightmagic: now there's a true f'ing statement if i ever heard one.
midnightmagic: I no longer have confidence, since making that statement, that my fellow voters are capable of a rational voting decision.
mircea_popescu: midnightmagic, go make a bet! --> http://bitbet.us
midnightmagic: Canada is not fine. The moron voting public voted in Harper based on promises of infrastructure investment which haven't materialized, and now we have a rapidly deteriorating legislature which consists of a bunch of idealogical idiots essentially ignoring the entire canadian public and dismantling some of our most cherished institutions and rights.
Bugpowder: the banks have a shitload of bad loans that are not being marked to market
Dr-X: no they're not bankrupt, they have a shitload of own equity
Namworld: But most shops, corp, etc you see all around still make a profit.
Namworld: We're not in a catastrophic recession. Many businesses cut jobs or make less profits.
Namworld: I'd be surprised if there was less than a million left...
mircea_popescu: i'd be surprised if there's a thousand left.
Dr-X: how do value a company, it is worth 500k btc and 6,500,000 dollar (easier to calculate)
mircea_popescu: Namworld not a bad idea. it's a pay as much as you want 30 days rotator deal.
Namworld: If he puts it in SD, might not be such a bad deal. SD will probably remain a major Bitcoin betting site for a long time.
mircea_popescu: on the other hand, losing all your money is not the same as losing a third.
mircea_popescu: a third of it
mircea_popescu: <Bugpowder> its the only place with a bankroll big enough for whales << that's what i do.
