the accountant can account for
the value paymium's coin in whatever fiat he fancies, he can go fuck himself before we sell it
thestringpuller: there's a lot wrong
there, but my
theory is VC's won't let
them hold btc like other btc companies
mircea_popescu: assbot:
The-Feminist-Software-Foundation/ToleranUX << lmao
this shit better be parodic.
thestringpuller: as all
their liabilities are covered as fiat, so I assume assets are handled sameway
davout: thestringpuller: why wouldn't
they be?
mircea_popescu: not a matter of chumpness
tho. suppose dude rings your doorbell dressed as a car mechanic. "yes ?" "hello i'm
the pizza delivery". "you don't seem
to have any pizza ?" "ha-ha! fooled you! i'm only SAYING im pizza delivery"
BingoBoingo: thestringpuller: Well ESPN says
they paid ESPN in BTC
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
this assumes
they are what
they claim
to be.
thestringpuller: i don't
think
they are allowed
to hold btc as assets, i dunno.
BingoBoingo: Well generally
they
tend
to raise dollars and burn
them. Or in BitPay's case start with Bitcoins and
then burn
those.
mircea_popescu: maybe it's
time
they fold and just
take
their subervient place in
the ecosystem ?
mircea_popescu: mostly because bitcoin does not reward
their "get big fast" pump and dump scam.
kakobrekla: myea bitpay would do better if
they just deleted
their wallet
mircea_popescu: assbot: Under Mark Karpeles bitcoin did 3,000,000%. Under VC capital, merchant adoption, bitcoin bowl it did -80%. : Bitcoin <<
that post has a core of point in it. if it weren't wrapped in redditard retardation / karpeles bs, it'd almost be worth making.
mircea_popescu: nubbins`: lifted from deviant art and shutterstock << are
the da starving artists going
to get a cut of
the 14k ?
mircea_popescu: punkman:
their demos are stupid
though << yeah
they had no idea how
to sell
that
thing.
BingoBoingo: devthedev: What is
this about
the head of 'Muricas other socialist party opening session with an Islamic prayer?
mircea_popescu: davout bicopulation is what
that deer in
the middle's doin'. ain't me!
jurov: they happen
to be in
two rooms at
the same
time
assbot: Logged on 21-01-2015 01:56:34; mircea_popescu: right about at
the
time
they
tarred and feathered
that asinine idiot who said
they should wash hands
thestringpuller: i figured it out! gavinandresen and mircea_popescu are
the same person!
mircea_popescu: punkman: "For one
thing, doctors were upset because Semmelweis' hypothesis << yup
that's a recurring
topic here.
davout: justusranvier: especially considering
that block propagation is soon
to be O(1)
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: you missed all
the fun
thestringpuller: All kinds everything from Oscar Peterson, Art
Tatum, Dave Brubeck, Dizzy, Coltrane.
davout: i liked daft punk's first albums
tho
davout: also you can't really have
the market price according
to supply and demand when
the supply's pretty much infinite for all practical purposes
davout: justusranvier: in your article you shouldn't be reasoning on
the cost of including a
transaction in a block as (cost of one block / number of
transactions) but you should reason on
the marginal cost of adding a
transaction
to an already existing block
that i'm currently mining
assbot: And Gavin moves on
to
the dark side.
The Bitcoin project is officially hijacked pe

STRML: BingoBoingo:
Thanks
davout: i kind of dislike rails,
too fat,
too clunky, unless you have something
that really fits
the rest paradigm
davout: thestringpuller: i like sinatra, it's real simple, and
there's very little magic
ben_vulpes: lol well rubby haircuts are normally done by
the hair wearer
ben_vulpes: davout: well i've written java, i've written ruby, and i've had extensive interactions with
the relevant "communities" (although only my local java "community")
davout: STRML: dsl's get much much easier when you're proficient with
the language
STRML: even JS isn't so bad
to debug. better
than php
STRML: python is nice
to debug... java
too
STRML: I'm sure
they were meant
to make
things easier but it never quite ends up
that way
thestringpuller: it's easier
to debug, but so is python in
the same context I guess?
STRML: all
the confusion and unfamiliarity of a new programming language without any of
the benefits
STRML: I echo your frustration with ruby. It's a nightmare
trying
to figure out some obscure part of
the capistrano or chef DSLs
thestringpuller: davout: i'm using it for web apps at work. not really a web stack developer, but it's not as bad as php but still doesn't
taste good.
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: i also unload
the dishwasher in
the morning and
turn
the lights off at night.
ben_vulpes: <ben_vulpes> my new
title is going
to be "systems and app store submission engineer" << asciilifeform
davout: thestringpuller: i don't know man, who am i
to know your personal
tastes? :-)
ben_vulpes: i derp
through apple's code signing shitshow so
that
they can focus on writing moar softs
thestringpuller: davout: at what point does
this ruby
thing start
to grow on me?
kakobrekla: you guys dont survive without apple
turds?
ben_vulpes: davout: oh yeah don't use
the layout engine
thestringpuller: asciilifeform: "would you like a mac or win machine?" "You mean which
two bowls of shit would I like
to eat?"
davout: thestringpuller: yeah. needless
to say
the experience was short.
davout: "you want
to
track your code on git and code with other folks? fuck you, i'll make
this massive xml piece of shit completely unmergeable"
davout: "you want
to organize your code with folders? fuck you, i'll store
them randomly and index
them in some massive xml
turd"
davout: kakobrekla:
the IDE where folders don't actually create folders on disk
davout: ben_vulpes: my worst nightmares are
those i'm forced
to use xcode
ben_vulpes: who wants
to "fix issues" related
to keys?
ben_vulpes: my new
title is going
to be "systems and app store submission engineer"
ben_vulpes: trying desperately
to eke out food credits over here
davout: ben_vulpes: it's downright suspect
that it
took you so long
to come
to
this conclusion
ben_vulpes: it's downright suspect
that mircea_popescu goes
to lunch and gavinandresen shows up
davout: diametric:
this new assbot is a
total scam
diametric: for some real reason it wasn't importing it for
the first
time correctly, kakobrekla had
to manually import it
assbot: Logged on 30-07-2014 13:57:29; asciilifeform: g: 'show me
the real budget.' a: 'you're asking
too much.
that's off limits
to you.'
assbot: Logged on 30-07-2014 13:57:10; asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: remember
the story about gorby and andropov?
chetty: (all you have
to do
to make such a law work is send
the gasenwagen for anybody
that knows any maths)
chetty: its ok,
they can just pass a law
to change
the maths
to what
they like
Pierre_Rochard: asciilifeform: preaching
to
the choir, but a “substitute” in
the economic
term is
the opposite of a “complement”, not something you necessarily consider on equal footing
Pierre_Rochard: davout: I agree,
the moat between bitcoin and
the “substitutes” is _enormous_
davout: the idea
that
there exists somewhere a magical bitcoin alternative, suffering from none of its shortcomings,
towards which everyone would flow is retarded
