that's MY 3 hours, goddamit.
assbot: Logged on 12-10-2015 04:29:18; phf: but anyway nicholson in his early carrier basically has only one character,
there's
the pure form of
that character in one flew...,
there's
the scary version in
the shining and
there's
the funny version in
the witches of eastwick, if you watch
these
three movies you'll be basically experience
the entire nicholson acting range :>

mircea_popescu: i forgot what
the one is where he fucks a woman's
twennysomething daughter and
then ends up marring
the woman.
mircea_popescu: tho he does a lot of
these "actual old/wounded male interacting with fucktarded us women"
things.
assbot: Logged on 12-10-2015 04:12:18; phf: pete_dushenski: i don't know how successful kesey was at capturing
the mind of a schizophrenic, but he certainly was good at relaying an inner state of an acid head.
the movie is something else entirely, but still great, since it's basically jack nicholson playing his only role at his best.
hdbuck: well, im not even sure where
to start with ^^
hdbuck: mircea_popescu got it,
ty, while im still at it, maybe you could enlighten me as
therealbtf client.. how am i supposed
to make it work?
mircea_popescu: <hdbuck> maybe i missed something << only half
the shares get actually
traded.
hdbuck: and with
the assistance of bingoboingo :)
hdbuck: anyway, been a long
time since i lurked, i
think you guys are quite outsmarting
the corporatist wannabes, and i like
the sorta outraging honesty approach. so
thanks.
mike_c: i'll add it
to
the
todo list
hdbuck: thestringpuller yes sure, i understand, i’d still value some
trade volumes
to estimate
the liquidity of
the stocks
there
hdbuck: yes, i just created an account
there, but i mean, i’d personally argue it lacks some charts, no offense
tho.
mike_c: talk
to jurov if you don't like
the logo
hdbuck: also, as i understand
trading via irc allows mpex
to be more resilient, woudltn it be nice
tho
to make a more user friendly website for, say more advertizing >
traffic >
trades > revenues ?
thestringpuller: mike_c: guess I have
to add up
the shares sold by owner based on
trilema
mike_c: they aren't. mircea has a mpex account
too
hdbuck: i see, so
the other half being hold by mp right?
mike_c: the other half are *not* on mpex, and
the dividends are paid elsewhere.
mike_c: see, half of s.mpoe shares are on mpex, so dividends are paid
there.
hdbuck: the ratio of mpex shares
that get divs
mike_c: what were you asking me
to update on btcalpha?
hdbuck: ah i see, any chance you would update
them on btc-alpha? also volumes would be appreciated.
hdbuck: what is
the ratio
then?
mike_c: so not all
the profit is distributed
there as dividends
mike_c: not all
the shares are on mpex
hdbuck: why woudl
the info on mpex says 132.98367617 BTC on 18-09-15//Per share: 26 satoshi. but
the latest monthly statement says Profit : 274.20932881 BTC
hdbuck: i’ve been researching mpex stocks,
through btc-alpha mostly and mpex, but
the informations seems divergent as per
the divs distributed
jurov: nooo, only read
the fallout
jurov: i learned
that
thanks
to reptilia and his sauna conference :D
jurov: punkman:
they are aiming for certain burn rate extent. anything below *and above* it won't cut it
mircea_popescu: apparently my brain decided
to cut
to
the chase, what "log", you're clearly going for
the day's lols!
mircea_popescu goes
to check out ba log,
types lol. is surprised nothing comes up. fixes
to log. gets
the log.
danielpbarron: I don't know about
this "acting range" of nicholson, but Chinatown is a great film staring him
assbot: Logged on 12-10-2015 04:06:28; pete_dushenski: still haven't seen
the movie with nicholson et al. but it's supposed
to be a decent flick, if not
the most accurate of
transpositions
punkman: jurov: but why did he
turn down a billion from
the chinese?
jurov: punkman imo
the keyword is "burn rate"
punkman: "[$400m] will be doled out slowly, however, says Mr. Ravikant, so as not
to overwhelm
the market. In
the first year, AngelList will disperse about $20 million of
the money, ramping up
to $50 million a year in subsequent years." and "on a recent
trip
to China,
two different limited partners each offered him $500 million, but “we’re limited in how much capital we can absorb,”"
punkman: I'd go if
the
theme was "rosemary's baby" or something
fluffypony: this sounds like a dumb version of
those murder mystery dinners
punkman: I guess
that's fun if you are into soaps
punkman: "Hired actors play
the bride, groom and a surprise
third party: a spurned lover or secret boyfriend who arrives “unexpectedly” – and with dramatic results."
punkman: "A
typical “fake wedding” hosts about 600 or 700 paying guests" * $50 = $30k, say
the venue charges $25 per head,
that's a lot of pesos leftover
punkman: from fake wedding link: “It all started
two years ago with a group of friends: we realized we hadn’t been
to a wedding in a long
time because hardly anybody is getting married anymore,” << and
this was a problem
that needed fixing????!!
pete_dushenski: coming
to a norteamericano dance hall near you in 2025
pete_dushenski: "sham ceremonies offer unparalleled chances
to meet new potential partners. “It’s easier
to meet someone at a fake wedding,” says Boniface. “I’d walk up and introduce myself as a cousin of
the groom, and
the girls immediately fell into
their role. It’s like a game everyone joins in.”" << no es un pais pobre, es un pais de jugadores !

pete_dushenski: Next he was handed a chart
to begin assessing his next patient for a chief complaint of “left eyebrow pain for 10 minutes”." << lolz.
pete_dushenski: i
think selecting for science/engineering drop-outs (2+ years, not 1 week) would be more fruitful.
☟︎ pete_dushenski: though why you'd want
to specifically live next
to
the idjits like me
too stubborn not
to drop out, i dunno
assbot: Logged on 12-10-2015 01:11:38; asciilifeform: say, 'i want
to live only with folks who graduated with science degrees before 2010'
assbot: Logged on 12-10-2015 00:58:15; mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> 'dlp' (mems array) with laser illumination. less
than 1k usd when it was new. << un minimo respeto por el imbeciliator! argentina no es un pais pobre porque es rico en recursos umanos.
pete_dushenski: the kind for whom a pilgrimage
to mecca is visiting comic-con in california, yes
phf: thing is, unless bad scifi movies, where you have plot, babes and action,
this is clearly
targeted at
the new nerds. like agile consultants at web startups, who follow nasa
twitter? ain't no way
this nation ever getting
to mars, is my conclusion from watching
this movie.
pete_dushenski: but hey, showing hitler's 1935 classic wouldn't break box office records for
the umpteenth billion
time
this year... or would it ?
pete_dushenski: ya sorta figured as much. if i wanted a propaganda movie i'd watch
triumph des willens again.
phf: same issue with
the martian. a mix of obsessive askreddit style scientism with startrek handwaiving, lots of
things explained
through exposition dialogue, lots of feel good "america! nasa! feelings!". zero value as a movie. i mean,
there's an underdog character who Figures It Out and
then he can be a complete aspy
to
The Big Boss, because he's now recognized as an authority
pete_dushenski: after 'interstellar', which i didn't even pay
to see !,
there's no way i'd see 'the martian', free or not.
pete_dushenski: maybe if you were completely unfamiliar with
the scifi genre, such as it is (asimov, heinlein, clarke, etc.)
then it might pass
the sniff
test. but good god did i find it offensively bad. just spoonfeeding
the viewer like
they were fresh out of
the womb.
pete_dushenski: i had
the same overhyped vibe from 'interstellar', which was pointedly atrocious.
assbot: Logged on 11-10-2015 21:42:49; phf: went
to a movie
theater
to see
The Martian. i only ever watch movies when in-wot recommend something enough, so i didn't realize how bad a movie can be, and
this was one of
the worst movies i've ever seen. snl "you can do anything" skit done with a straightface.. in space! but anyway,
they've replaced all
the regular rows, with reclining sits, and you can push
the button for
the sit
to recline. i was
phf: but anyway nicholson in his early carrier basically has only one character,

☟︎ assbot: Logged on 11-10-2015 21:21:42; mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> folks familiar with usg 'scientocracy' will laugh, but
the fact is,
the mind-reading box does not necessarily have
to... work.
to be put in use. << right right. cholesterol is bad for you except its good for you and salt is bad except its good and hey, as long as
they got "science" what difference does it make
that
they're 100% consensused on opposite
things every 30 years.
pete_dushenski had
to look up 'konigsberg', found
that it's both a baltic port city ~and~ woody allen's pre-filmstar surname
phf: oh
that makes sense, i've never
thought of his movies
that way, but he'd obviously be familiar with
the form, being konigsberg
assbot: Logged on 11-10-2015 20:20:41; ben_vulpes: no,
they won't do anything
to anyone cheating emissions
tests.
pete_dushenski: phf: seems like
the majority of woody allen movies fall into
the 'kapstnik' camp
☟︎ phf: i rewatched it recently, and it's one of
those movies
that's awesome when you're 12, and
then you see just how bad it is, when you're past your 20s
phf: it's my favorite batman :)
there's a word in russian, kapustnik, which is basically a movie or a festival, where a bunch of strong and famous performers get
together
to ham it up for fun
pete_dushenski: i guess batman was 1989 but god help me if i can remember
that movie
