mircea_popescu: i mean, i didn't pick up anything whatsoever in
the case of
this xinxi guy. nor did i look into it in any depth. however, consider
the case of
the r3wt kid. now
there, i did pick up roughly
the same vibe i imagine you peeps are discussing. and yet, months later,
bounce: the low end scam is fairly obvious
to spot with a little experience looking at
the patters in -otc
mircea_popescu: incidentally, where have all
the "are women more deceitful
than men" studies gone ?
mircea_popescu: just as long as it doesn't reduce
to a "she's a woman/politician/newbie and her lips are moving so -> lying"
mircea_popescu: RagnarDanneskjol im not saying
that persona jkudgement is invalid in any case. obviously all we have
to go on is
the judgement entered by individuals. but i
think
the general point is nevertheless interesting, how does one
tell ?
mircea_popescu: more interested in
the general point
tbh, i have no idea what
this kid's story is, but in general derpy newcomers with a drive and deceitful scammers with a plan would look quite similar, at least during
the first 1k lines or w/e, i
think
RagnarDanneskjol: if you read his logs-and his innane discussions on
the forum -its pretty clear.. I very rarely accuse anyone of actually being deceitful

the economy, stupid , Scott Sumner | EconLog | Library of Economics and Liberty
xinxi: RagnarDanneskjol -

mircea_popescu: in other news
today, mp loves pulling people's chains.
thickasthieves: whenever someone is defining something differently
than you, just say semantics and
they lose
thickasthieves: semantics is
the new debate destroyer havent you heard
mircea_popescu: mayhap you confuse
the newsman with
the archeologist ?
bounce: wasn't about what's news but what's newswriting. doesn't matter if it
turns out
to be prophetic later; prophecy isn't
the function of
the newsreporter.
wywialm: in eu, only poland strong
today
wywialm: and greece bond yields climb again, we may see
two digits very soon :)
wywialm: pete_dushenski, re
the Dow: you should rather see
the euro stoxx index
assbot: Dyson's 20 Best Inventions of
the Year
mircea_popescu: yesterday's log about what's news and what isn't will be so lulzy once ~that one~ qntra article ends up in
the position of
the stormcaller, greatest news piece ever published etc etc...
Apocalyptic: when you will see -25% on GOOG or AAPL

the day
Apocalyptic: pete_dushenski, I
thought you were actually joking
mircea_popescu: anyway, if it was indeed over
the growth SLOWdown
they reported,
mircea_popescu: you know
this is perhaps a good point... and
trilema has a shitton of
them
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski nothing like
that can happen. aren't you aware
the dow is
the penis of
the biggest greatest richest most important country IN
THE COUNTRY !?>!?!
pete_dushenski: everyone ready for another full day of ddosing and watching
the dow bleed?
mircea_popescu: wywialm well

wywialm: by
the way, is
there any doc regarding
the working of
the deedBot?

wywialm: and sadly,
trilema is down as well
mircea_popescu: btw, cazalla bingoboingo and everyone else in
the same situation : if
the blob gpg spits out when you sign contains a SHA1 you are using
the older, and perhaps not all
that secure digest algo. you should move on
to sha512 either with --digest-algo SHA512 or else edit gpg.conf
to insert personal-digest-preferences SHA512 SHA384 SHA256
☟︎☟︎ wywialm: the only
thing visible is
the IIS screen. Does qntra run on MSFT soft?:)

RagnarDanneskjol: ript kiddie. - other
than """"I have been
trading FX for more
than seven years and I made enough money for me
to live for
the following 5 years even if I don't work at all. So It makes little sense for me
to run away with your money """
RagnarDanneskjol: just
trying
to keep
things real here - you asked for feedback. your sig on
the forum claims your site is
the FIRST options exchange - you clearly demonstrated
that you were aware of
the options emporium prior
to now. you also have no experience running a business (or even having a real job) and failed
to demonstrate any reason why you are better suited
to run
this
than a 15 year old sc
mats_cd03: at
the least it implies a fundamental uncertainty in
the game, and at worst malfeasance
mats_cd03: it is a red flag for everyone in
this chan if
the biggest player in
the game is unwilling
to MM his own options, xinxi
xinxi: yeah, I recall. you are right, I needed a market maker
to provide liquidity. but
that does not mean it’s a gambling site, right?
RagnarDanneskjol: so ont you recall
that looooong conversation about options w/ mp where you
took several hours
to FINALLY come out with your actual intentions - -to enroll a 'market maker' aka bagholder for your site??
xinxi: you can also use
the black-scholes model
to price
the options.
bounce: it's better
than
to not use it, but it is easily done wrong and
then
there's
the whole problem of
the PKI industry
xinxi: and you can
trade volatility
bounce:
https is
the "best current practice" any
time people end up having
to feed "personal details" and such into forms. username/password for starters.
RagnarDanneskjol: how many plugs for your gambling site can you work into each conversation do you
think
xinxi: anyway, many people like illusions.
that’s why I use it.
