mircea_popescu: suffix searches ("*derp") don't work
HeySteve: cool
mircea_popescu, I'll let him know
HeySteve: yeah
mircea_popescu, the one I linked to above
HeySteve:
mircea_popescu ok and you say these are synthetic instruments... this means you don't own or have borrowed any shares in the companies?
HeySteve:
mircea_popescu, why not just create futures or some other instruments over these companies, which could be traded long or short?
HeySteve:
mircea_popescu heh some people probably won't appreciate this fund, but it expands an investor's options so I don't see the downside
HeySteve:
mircea_popescu, any similar products to F.DERP which you're aware of?
HeySteve:
mircea_popescu, he's very comfortable I'd say, retired now, but he could have been loaded
HeySteve:
mircea_popescu yes in a sense, I know a guy who was offered a fortune for his finance site but held on
HeySteve: hi
mircea_popescu, I'd like to talk about F.DERP now if that's convenient
moiety:

punkman:
mircea_popescu: about that simulation, there are 20 bots, they meet everyone else 5 times and play for N rounds each time they meet, after each round there's a 0.995 probability they will stop.
punkman:
mircea_popescu: probably publishable as a paper if you can be bothered to run in that threadmill << not a big fan of academics, but I can blag it now
mthreat:
mircea_popescu: what would be considered good in italy or germany. I've never had romanian pizza
mthreat:
mircea_popescu: have you managed to find good pizza in this town?
FabianB:
mircea_popescu: my logs are burried in old backups on disks at a place i'm unlikely to be at in the next 2 to 3 weeks, so unless it's still useful by then i'll keep them there
ThickAsThieves: <+
mircea_popescu> such are the blessings of closed society : that art may flourish. democracy and social mobility allows for no such thing. //// or a *small* society --- but maybe i'm splitting hairs
decimation:
mircea_popescu: Indeed, which is why this "alert" is so amusing. "Seizing or freezing bitcoins. Law enforcement officials may have difficulty seizing or freezing illicit proceeds held in bitcoins. Bitcoin wallets are encrypted and unlike money held in a bank or brokerage account, bitcoins may not be held by a third-party custodian."
mthreat:
mircea_popescu: yah you were correct. But as you said, your log has gaps, so hopefully Azelphur's logs are more complete.
mthreat:
mircea_popescu: ok once I get Azelphur's, i'll turn them all into a mysql dump and send it to kakobrekla. Then once kako gets them on log.b-a, i'll just crawl-backfill.
mthreat:
mircea_popescu: yeah but asciilifeform's overlaps
mthreat:
mircea_popescu: not really, it's pretty easy.
mthreat: <
mircea_popescu> btw mthreat wouldja be interested in filling in the logs for the first missing year, and generate a drop-in blob kakobrekla can put into his log thing too ? << I got asciilifeform's ba-turd file. But I'm not sure what format kako wants. search.b-a gets all of its info from log.b-a by crawling, since I link to it in the search results.
benkay: particularly good reading today,
mircea_popescu, ty to yourself and asciilifeform
punkman:
mircea_popescu, I'll give it a look, see how much I grok
dignork:
mircea_popescu: what kind of data do you want to use, current WoT is tiny
punkman:
mircea_popescu: yeah maybe I can do a simulation
benkay: <
mircea_popescu> sort-of like the teenage slut born to wealth that skips a lot of school, and gets herself knocked up. not only is she getting some candy to "compensate" her for the abortion, but she also gets to blame her cocaine habit on the bad boy that "seduced" her. // my favorite is the one who gets her own condo and a photo studio to play with and raise her kid in
dignork:
mircea_popescu: LBC can divert this attack, by making e submit bank details
BingoBoingo:

mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves:
mircea_popescu > dogecoin mmporg in the style of Eve: <<< well... "going to", anyway.
xmj:
mircea_popescu: like those hedgefunds that put up bitcoin funds?
benkay: <
mircea_popescu> someone actually believed that us born womenz were going to be teh prettiest, a century ago. // there are some gems. some.
bitcoinpete:
mircea_popescu: never trust a baby boom, for the baby boomers are almost always the end of things. << added to the growing list
mthreat: <
mircea_popescu> mthreat wouldja be interested in filling in the logs for the first missing year, and generate a drop-in blob kakobrekla can put into his log thing too ? << sure, do you have the logs for the first year?

mircea_popescu it's actually a good test for me, tells me how someone would be to work with. if the argument is articulate, it makes a huge difference right?
moiety:
mircea_popescu: well maybe thats why i was given a chance at being a good pa, but it doesnt mean you can deliver
moiety: in terms of learning stuff here, i guess so
mircea_popescu, but i have found in across board. there's some people i would hire that are half the age of those i wouldn't
hanbot:
mircea_popescu how did you fit through the doorways?!
benkay: <
mircea_popescu> decimation: now, why do you suppose those who work in the bezzle economy are showered with special favors while those who work in the "real economy" are treated as serfs? <<< here's the thing : real estate agents are certified, and have to be bondend in many places, and have to follow best practices, and can and are put to the coals ifthey do not.
moiety: not sure i share your optimism
mircea_popescu BingoBoingo:
mircea_popescu: I guess you'll get to find out what the swat vans are for soon
moiety: ahh, never apparently. At the end, I was told there wasn't the initial "falling in love"... i was a convenient wallet/housekeeper/etc

decimation:
mircea_popescu: "the day three quarters of san francisco loses its homes because of writing bad code, engineers and similarly "skilled" workers can has special irs treatment." << that's a really good point. bring back the Hammurabic code for engineers, programmers, bankers, etc.
punkman:
mircea_popescu: no no I need hanbot as a signal :P

mircea_popescu: well, for one if you fly high enough you don't actually have to report" << it's my understanding that you must file with IFR, which is generally high flight. Flying low in clear air (VFR) would be the ticket.

mircea_popescu doesn't have one?
benkay:
mircea_popescu: i thought lispers were all bitter losers to begin with
benkay: it's not that bad a move from their perspective,
