mircea_popescu: is
that alf actually beats a lot of "professional" managers
assbot: Logged on 14-05-2015 21:55:34; ascii_field: (actually ~1.4
that it
turned into)
mircea_popescu: (one of my favourite jokes long ago. because i knew
this ugly obnoxious dude who was kinda rape-y, and also kept buying clubs, as in, bars with music.)
mircea_popescu: well... you could start polyamory-ing, and
then getting a new girl each week and
then
tricking her into having her picture
taken with weird numbers written on her chest.
mircea_popescu: he can access
them via otc, for
that matter, just sell em
to someone. but it makes little sense before share goes over par.
mircea_popescu: (i also fucked up
the math, warrants only worth like 330)
williamdunne: Can't you access warrants and
the similar
through coinbr?
mircea_popescu: ima make sure
the mpex fee is 1.250 mn or so at
that point :D
mircea_popescu: suppose within
the year cardano proves such a success s.nsa
trades ~0.00020000 like s.bbet. at
that point, your 70% share of
the stock will be worth 663.1905 ; your warrants like another 663.1904. if btc is 1.2k at
that point again, you're now worth a million and a half in benjies
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you recall
the entire warrants business btw ?
williamdunne: asciilifeform: Wouldn't it serve
the opposite purpose, and encourage account reselling?
mircea_popescu: well in practice it seems it's mainly
to drive people up
the wall.
mircea_popescu: it's no such proof. it's proof
that you are willing
to allow
the holder of key y
to continue in your stead.
☟︎ williamdunne: >It was recently brought
to my attention
that yes,
the MPEx fee for registering new accounts is still 30 BTC.
assbot: Logged on 14-05-2015 21:44:05; ascii_field: i'm kinda curious why mircea_popescu considers a new key signed with a previous key
to not be a logical continuation of
the same identity. (is it because of
the impossibility of hard-guaranteed revocation, as discussed in previous
thread?)

time, prolly wants
to build a pyramid
assbot: Logged on 15-05-2015 02:29:00; decimation: asciilifeform: apparently it's mp's position
that an mpex seat is implicitly
time limited
decimation: basically
the us stole saudi arabia's oil from
the british - which is
the foundation of us power in
the middle east for
the past 70 years. obama apparently is ignorant of
this history
williamdunne: >Even
the offer by Obama of a separate
tete-a-tete in Washington could not persuade Saudi Arabia’s King Salman
to attend what Riyadh sources describe as “a photo-op” aimed at hoodwinking
the American public.
menahem: williamdunne ahh i love #b-a.. all
the right reminders. :)
decimation: yeah
that's a good point. apparently
the arabs are not happy
that
the us intends
to proxy iran instead of
them
williamdunne: Haven't heard about
that one, what should I be googling?
mircea_popescu: obama holds an arab world summit, nobody goes, us press is all quiet on
THAT score.
mircea_popescu: brilliant plan, brilliantly executed. meanwhile,
the chinese go
to putin's victory celebration,
the us press derps about how
the european heads of "states" missed
the opportunity
to be relevant.
mircea_popescu: decimation yeah
totally. meanwhile
the brilliant plan
tostop supporting israel has resulted in an israel
that could no longerr pull off
the halfweek war,
thus
the arabs are no longer affraid of it,
thus saudi arabia has no further need for
the us alliance,
thus
they're
trashing it.
decimation: mircea_popescu: sure! bombing libya was an example of a brilliant plan
to shepard
the outbreak of love and democracy, not
throwing matches at a barrel of petrol
mircea_popescu: derp on
trilema offers "military campaigns" as example of plans
that worked (tm)
decimation: asciilifeform: apparently it's mp's position

☟︎ BingoBoingo: Not yet. May guve
that a
try if I pick up LEDs before
this batch dies. Was considering LED bulbs for an outdoor fixture, but witing on outdoor fixture's bulb
to die first because it hates human contact.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I have a fixture which disagrees with CFLS. Since
the bulbocaust my stock is depleting rapidly as bulbs
that once lasted years only now last months

assbot: Logged on 14-05-2015 22:53:19; decimation: re: pay 30 btc
to upgrade mpex keys < does
this mean
that if you can crack an mpex key you get
to use it?
BingoBoingo: cazalla: Ironically I stumbled into it looking for ways
to kill certain unwelcome plants
cazalla: nice gardening blog btw,
ty for link
cazalla: BingoBoingo, not cups but i vaguely remember about 25 years ago
that
they did a big song and dance about biodegradable plastic bags here down under and how
they would be phased in and
the old ones phased out, yet
to
this day
they still carry on about plastic bags

☟︎ cazalla: much better
than
the grainy
tumblr shit someone else links :)
☟︎ ascii_field: but answer is no, it wasn't a proper beta account, it was a one-off demo
that dissolved in ~month
jurov: or you
traded hanbot out of 0.4 funbux and
then gave
them
to mircea instead?
ascii_field: mircea_popescu even gave me a 1 btc
to drive it with
jurov: but you still have
the account?
jurov: ben_vulpes: no,
that is not necessary :)
ben_vulpes: i don't feel like loading
the MPEx api into my head
today.
jurov: it was
the rest
that
took half a year
ben_vulpes: (for
the uninitiated: i'm being very sarcastic)
ben_vulpes: <jurov>
they'd have
to hire knuth himself
to squeeze something usable out of
that atrocious api << ah, it's not
that bad, just write a parser for
the variety-speaking ad-hoc blublang
ascii_field: in
the hypothetical machine, we cannot have
the diode.
ascii_field: jurov: magnetic logic as described in
the literature mostly 'cheated' by including a diode with each gate
ascii_field: in
the miniature version i suggested, performance may well edge into overlap with
the worst silicon
ascii_field: ben_vulpes: i suspect
this can be pushed up as
the
transformer cores are made smaller and coils
themselves shorter (less inductive)
ben_vulpes: <ascii_field> well, nothing approaching
transistor << what sorta frequencies *did* work?
jurov: he's born into wrong

☟︎ jurov: i suspect boilers will have much better ROI
than another honest broker
ascii_field: jurov: i
thought
the gnarly api was part of
the 'bozo filter' just as
the price was
