mircea_popescu: decimation i would expect you can get certs for your fund participation. you don't own what
they own, just a piece of
them.
gernika: mircea_popescu
They did, some 15 years ago.
This is Idaho and
Texas we're
talking about.
decimation: very
typically your company will have a short list of 'funds' in which you can invest your usg-blessed 'deferred
tax' money
assbot: Logged on 16-07-2015 02:21:50; mircea_popescu: course, he was discussing failing
tests and whatnot.
mircea_popescu: (yes
they'll ship you
the certs if you so wish, and aren't one of
the reddit "but i expect everyything for free" consumer crowd)
decimation: actually in
the us
they kinda do sometimes
mircea_popescu: again nobody forces you
to buy something you don't wanna buy
decimation: well, when I give
the broker money for a stock or fund, what am I buying?
decimation: or at least have a warehouse receipt for
the same
decimation: you need
to actually hold a certificate
to be an owner in delaware apparently
mircea_popescu: i
think i even have unissued ones from old corps in storage somewhere as well.
decimation: yeah, apparently
the common method is a big dumb 'depository company' holds
them on behalf of another company who holds
them on behalf of a broker who 'sells'
them
to you
decimation: that passage sounds like
the seeds of 'liberal guilt'
mircea_popescu: decimation you can get proper ownership if you want,
to
this day (a point fucktarded articles deliberately omit
to mention)
mircea_popescu: i'd rather read orlov's daughter from a marriage with yarvin consumated on one of
their leaky carriers
they have.
mircea_popescu: anyway. i still can't fucking stand
that wamy fellow, nothing's changed in a decade.
mircea_popescu: " it is
to be feared
that
the gradual breaking down of
their institutions,
together with
the drain on
their national wealth, will make coolies,
thieves, beggars and prostitutes of
the proud and honourable Balinese of
this generation, and will" prostitution is not
to be feared. prostitution is
the realisation of
the feminine ideal finally liberated of all
the slag of fear and hypocrisy.
decimation: the state of delaware doesn't even acknowledge
that your broker owns
the stock, yet alone you
mircea_popescu: e him- self and
the culture of which he is a product." <<
this is deeply self-flattering but just as deeply wrong. if a man asks if a woman is a virgin, he also condemns himself ?
mircea_popescu: "The modern
traveller "
thy name is legion " proposing
to visit some " lost paradise " such as Bali, often asks whether or not it has yet been " spoiled." It makes a naive, and even
tragic, confession. For
this man does not reflect
that he is condemning him- self ;
that what his question asks is whether or not
the sources of equilibrium and grace in
the other civilizations have yet been poisoned by contact with men lik
mircea_popescu: decimation conclusion is certainly correct.
they have no clue and no future.
decimation: mod6: perhaps, it's not clear
to me how selling something
to yourself is beneficial in
tax
terms
decimation: so
they are running a gaggle of bots and
they have no fuckin' clue how
they interact
decimation: " Self-trading, for
the purpose of
this report, is defined as a
transaction in which
the same entity
takes both sides of
the
trade so
that no change in beneficial ownership results."
decimation: ^ I conclude
that
the high rent firms who run
the hft bots are just as clueless as spv miners
decimation: also: "At
the peak of
the flash crash, self-trading in
the 10-year "reached 14.9 percent and 11.5 percent for cash and futures" volume, respectively, and was even higher in
the 5-year"
decimation: ah
the missing bit in
the middle "a number of previously posted large sell orders suddenly became visible in
the order book above
the current 30-year futures price (as well as in smaller size in 10-year futures)."
decimation: "
The sudden visibility of
these sell orders significantly shifted
the visible order imbalance in
that contract, and it coincided with
the beginning of
the reversal of its price (the
top of
the price spike). Most of
these limit orders were not executed, as
the price did not rise
to
their levels.
decimation: Hey
there's 'women in
tech', why not 'poor in
tech' and 'alternatively housed in
tech'
trinque: I assume
this box is no more owned
than
the lenovo laptop I'm fiddling with it from
trinque: yeah, ass-goblins in
the hd firmware right?
trinque: and
there are 4 other drives not installed for additional phun
trinque: asciilifeform: yeah I'll still dd
the
thing somewhere
trinque just fired up
the jet engine in his closet
trinque: doesn't look like anything fun is left on
these drives but a gigabyte of a base ubuntu install
trixisowned: and not relaying
those
transactions
to other nodes
trixisowned: which could cause
them
to profit by stuffing
their own blocks
trixisowned: you can force your blocks
to have more of a backlog
than other blocks, which is also prioritized via
the client
mircea_popescu: again : bitcoin is not for
the poor.
there's articles on
trilema detailing
this going all
the way back
to 2012. what,
this never happened ?
mircea_popescu: yes
the backlog is going
to be permanent. who exactly is surprised by
this ?
mircea_popescu: ed nor has any intention of charging Davis in relation
to his alleged Silk Road activity."
mircea_popescu: "Points of objection
to
the extradition put forth by Davis's counsel claim he would be subjected
to inhuman and degrading conditions if convicted and
that as he suffers from depression and aspergers, his mental health would be put at risk. Counsel also argued
that Davis should have been charged with
the offences he is alleged
to have committed in Ireland and not in
the US. Despite
this,
the Irish DPP has not investigat
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo cazalla you know
the qntra after a day's blackout is actually quite good!
hanbot: mod6 is
that an altcoin
that swings both ways?
mircea_popescu: so it is. and i say so on
the basis of dragging
twice off a chick's joint.
mod6: If bitcoin should perish, we will write it's successor:
the revolution will not be stopped. Crypto-currency is here
to stay. Full stop.
assbot: Logged on 15-09-2014 17:22:10; mircea_popescu: speaking of high,
the pot here is infucking credible.
mircea_popescu: honestly i have a lot of
trouble distinguishing
this "law enforcement" push from "hiring spree"
assbot: Logged on 16-07-2015 00:24:43; asciilifeform:
to round off
the earlier
thread, aficionados of 'parallel construction' will find a
treasure of a lulzfest in
the 'darkode' indictments.
mircea_popescu: sometimes i
think i'm
the last dude left
that doesn't do drugs.
assbot: Logged on 16-07-2015 00:23:05; gernika: Actually used
to work at Micron, as an intern for a summer. Would have worked for
them for a second summer but ... drug
test.
They did email on a Vax of some sorts, but were otherwise a windows shop.
assbot: Logged on 16-07-2015 00:06:22; mthreat: looks like most of
them specify height, for males
too. But I've seen some specify bust/waist/ass measurements
assbot: Logged on 16-07-2015 00:04:23; mthreat: chinese job postings routinely specify measurements for female employees, for jobs such as receptionist, and also specify
that
they be "attractive". If you just search on
http://cn.indeed.com for "cm", you'll find jobs with centimeter measurements.
assbot: Logged on 15-07-2015 21:54:58; ascii_field: at any rate, none of
the diddles
thus far would have made so much as a scratch on, e.g., 'adacoin'
decimation: I
think he's
talking about what happens when you click
the default entry
decimation: anyone serious does
their own partition scheme
decimation: it has
to insert itself into your business I guess
decimation: one
that uses no lvm and allocates most space
to 'home'
