mircea_popescu: " Very little overhead - because hardware sales is just a necessary part in
this service industry." mkay, very logics in
this verbiage.
adlai: and is
there an api
to
this
thing?
jurov: <adlai> [20141208 01:41] jurov: what happens when a coinbr account has assets but no btc when you need
to charge
the management fee? << for now unpaid fees just keep piling up as negative balance
BingoBoingo: Oh,
the sock puppet sold for $125,000
to another startup?
mircea_popescu: it was just a petfood seller with
the odd idea of actually buying warehouses.
BingoBoingo: Oh, it was a whole Amazon.com style retailer I
thought
mircea_popescu: ie, "we're fleecing
the living dailights out of you for no reason, but if you assemble in large groups we'll fleece a little less ?"
mircea_popescu: anyway, wasn't pets.com basically groupon arbitrarily limited for
the pets scam only ?
BingoBoingo: Sure and pets.com was an idea,
that could have
totally worked if
the
thing actually was budgeted
to live off of retailer profit margins instead of a VC funded money fire
mircea_popescu: i'm sure all
the various 19yos
that had
THE IDEA of you know, a bunch of naked women in your house, are spiritual forefathers
to
the harem.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo yeah,
totally, because "ideas" are what matters. so what if flooz.com was roughly equivalent
to reddit derps making redditcoin. IT WAS AN IDEA.
BingoBoingo: "Even
the Pets.com idea is looking mighty good.
The basic notion
that people wanted
to buy pet food online and have it delivered
to
their homes
turns out
to be a sound one."
BingoBoingo: "We’re still waiting for Kozmo 2.0. But
there’s also good reason
to applaud
the folks behind Flooz.com.
They wanted
to create
their own internet-based currency, and
though Flooz was a flop, bitcoin has now shown
that digital currency can play huge role in
the modern world."
mircea_popescu: let me guess, it was only because of evil republicans pushing
their obsolete, meanwhile
technologically-revolutionized ideas about scarcity
cazalla: at least from what i can
tell, BingoBoingo maybe you are inclined
to look it over a bit more, i'll

mircea_popescu: fluffypony i suppose not everyone's fortunate enough
to be on
the receivingend of reader's digest prizes and stuff. which is why
they keep doing
this firstbiggestbest
thing.
fluffypony: yes but
this one is
the "official worldwide" lottery
BingoBoingo: fluffypony: Actually doesn't look
that different compared
to some of
the 2012 era BTC sites
BingoBoingo: See
this Salon ignoring Orlov
thing is like
the rest of
the "Bitcoin Press" lapping up Bitpay spending out
the ass
to sponsor a bowl game while ignoring...
That
there's actually a game
that's now going
to be played with
teams and stuff.
mircea_popescu: that
they don't even mention orlov in
there is insulting
to
the russian foreign service lol.
mircea_popescu: moar plowing flies, didntcha know, some anon derp working for some anon flavour of
teh us propaganda has been really pulling
the yoke!
mircea_popescu: anyway, salon and
the derpage is entirely irrelevant
to why and wherefore "we knew all along" and saw
through
the nuland bullshit from day one.
mircea_popescu: anyway, "Patrick L. Smith" is making way
too much of an interview with... kissinger.
mircea_popescu: you wanna
trade, move
to fucking ny. you don't wanna move
to ny, stfu and snort coke or w/e
they do in la.
mircea_popescu: punkman well yes, "fairness" as misunderstood by
the butthurt parade is going against a hard limit of
the universe.

cazalla: on it's own it's a
terrible metric but i keep an eye on it just
to see if people are picking up
the stories qntra runs
cazalla: tbh i was getting into it, a lil' disappointed
twitter is yet
to unban me
ben_vulpes: cazalla: retweets are qntra's metric of choice
today?
ben_vulpes: well /etc/default/docker but look at it
through whatever lens you like baws
ben_vulpes: mats:
today i discovered
that docker images have a 10GB limit unless you specify otherwise with dm.whatever options on
the command line for
the docker daemon

mircea_popescu: "Sunt fondatorul uneia din cele mai mari retele de bloguri de nisa din Romania (Stepout Media), cu siteuri precum: www.construimimperii.ro," i am
the founder of one of
the biggest niche networks in romania, with sites such as webuildempires
☟︎ cazalla: mircea_popescu> except for me. i'm watching zoey monroe being fake-gangraped and am all zen about all
things <<< ya like
the blondes eh
cazalla: mircea_popescu, was not sure which dir
to set
to write, figured better
to leave alone, it's not really a big issue as is
BingoBoingo: The ways people cope with
the law are weird
mircea_popescu: article goes on
to say
that name wasn't released, but
that
the pracitce of buying information about various legal misdeeds of other people is by now a common practice in romania, for
they convicted who are also rich. like a
trying
to get out of jail
thing.
mircea_popescu: "timisoara businessman accused of romania's outgoing president's brother [who is being sent
to jail for a pile of various fraud, corruption and graft charges]"
mircea_popescu: except for me. i'm watching zoey monroe being fake-gangraped and am all zen about all
things.

the level of embarrassment of NC State and UCF fans. /hashtag/BitcoinBowl?src=hash
mircea_popescu: mike_c> unreliable suns of bitches << mp waits patiently for mike
to run into women.
mircea_popescu: <cazalla> i do
that via ftp, wordpress won't let me upload images, i
think one of
the dir permissions are off or something <<< sooo... set em right ?
mircea_popescu: can prolly set
to you know, save draft only.
then editor can publish.
mircea_popescu: <mike_c> like, maybe I should just have a WP account. << i can see
this.
mircea_popescu: adlai
the exchange-reported
tx for
that day are small, and
the books didn't even hold enough.
mircea_popescu: [Namworld] i guess if
they're only interested
to see where
the ads lead,
they wouldn't follow
the redirect.
trivial curl
thing.
BingoBoingo: It's
the Bitcoin bowl.
There was an obligation
to bring attention
to how completely mediocre
the competitors are.
BingoBoingo: ben_vulpes: It's a game.
The story is in
the
teams not
the sponsors. No one remembers
the sponsors of
the bowl games.
nanotube: looks like someone is
trying
to eat up some cpu by hammering
the web server
cazalla: anyway,
taking a walk
to reflect on
this act of stupidity
mike_c: also, now
that I have access, you just gave me access without checking if i'm authenticated :) and I'm actually
the reddit police! (j/k)
cazalla: ben_vulpes, i learned
this lesson a few years back already
mike_c: hehe, i was
thinking more about getting ready for
the not-slow periods :) but
this is fine with me.
cazalla: mike_c, it's not really
that much work atm anyway and what else am i going
to do but play pokemon all day during slow periods
mike_c: that's fine with me, but you might want
to
think about how
to get yourself more out of
the workflow. makes scaling and doing
this long-term easier.
cazalla: you can email
the images, i'll upload and
then send you
the URLs
mike_c: that's not a bad
thing. but makes it harder for authors.
cazalla: i do
that via ftp, wordpress won't let me upload images, i
think one of
the dir permissions are off or something
mike_c: works for me. I pinky-swear not
to break anything.
mike_c: and upload images
to put in
the draft?
cazalla: mike_c,
technically you already have an account, i create
them for authors and use for publishing
their articles, i can change so
that you can log in and post a draft
mike_c: and I can write it myself. and
then you review and publish.
mike_c: images. but embedded in
the right spot. and ideally presenting you with
the least amount of work necessary.
cazalla: mike_c, can you use images for
the graphs or is it code
mike_c: cazalla: I would like
to write an article for qntra with graphs in it. how should I go about
this?
cazalla: adlai,
the stats are not really point of article, more so
to point out stupidity of
this bitcoin black friday scheme
