punkman: or you could do it through a gloryhole
thickasthieves: <+punkman> I think for $25k they could have hired a dude to sit there with a laptop. - yknow this is a great point
bounce: sit there themselves and badger the vendors whenever it's quiet.
punkman: I think for $25k they could have hired a dude to sit there with a laptop.
bounce: ``In London Fields by Martin Amis, while smelling a wad of used fifties, foil Guy Clinch observes that, "Pecunia non olet was dead wrong. Pecunia olet."'' (wikipedia) -- thus we see the folly of paper money.

gribble: The Limits to Growth - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Limits_to_Growth>; DYNAMO (programming language) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DYNAMO_(programming_language)>; World3 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World3>
mircea_popescu: ;;google rome club limits to growth dynamo
Adlai: "when all you've got is a hammer, everything starts to look like a nail" type thinking?
mircea_popescu: it was written in either algol or cobol i forget, and was supposed to be a big deal for rich hippies in the 70s
mircea_popescu: there was this first pass of algoreism, "golf club" patternism and all the rest of the retardation
Adlai: what "limits to growth" retardation?
Adlai: no, dynamo is a scripting engine for vasari/revit (BIM tools aka CAD for architects/engineers), shapeshifter is a generative modeling library for making things like [photo incoming...]
mircea_popescu: you're not old enough to be talking of that "limits to growth" retardation
mircea_popescu: Adlai this isn't the amazon thing is it ?
Adlai: essentially, got paid to learn C++ and C#. not things i'd like to use in new projects, but still good tools to have
mircea_popescu: all the shit i never heard of o.O
Adlai: i worked on connecting http://dynamobim.org/ to the backend powering http://shapeshifter.io/
mircea_popescu: a discussion of casts is entirely spurious. the problem's the approach.
Adlai would probably not get invited into the operating theatre just for walking around outside the hospital with an anatomy coloring book
mircea_popescu: see the problem with the approach ?
mircea_popescu: guy in the hospital. adlai talks to doctor : this dude should get casts. casts are cool. doctor to adlai : did you see his xrays ? adlai umm... no. but casts are cool.
Adlai: are what supposed to work just like how?
mircea_popescu: are they supposed to work just like that, in principle, don't even need to know what you're suggesting about or anything ?
mircea_popescu: i'm not. i'm instead kloinking you over the head for the add-water-and-stir suggestion dust you got.
Adlai: you probably were. i can shut up if that's what you're asking me to do.
mircea_popescu: wasn't i reading a bevy of suggestions from you above tho ?
Adlai: so if i mention stuff that's already done, please just point it out
Adlai: not really, i'm only familiar with qntra et al for what, three days?
mircea_popescu: Adlai you know this is like... done already. right ?
Adlai: you could also auction qntra credits through a centralized system, that aspect of my suggestion isn't dependent upon decentralized issuance
Adlai: i'm far from convinced they're good for anything, but the only way to really know is by watching them break under stress/attacks
Adlai: don't have too much interesting to say about it, i'd rather discuss decentralized assets
Adlai: i dealt mostly with making data accessible for my boss, so he could perform the actual analysis
Adlai: custom stack handrolled from google bigquery and excel glued together with mutant python scripst
Adlai refuses to work even-numbered hours
Adlai: playscape has been burning VC money for years and downsized 33%, autodesk terminated my employment due to "being unable to accomodate working from home or at odd hours"
mircea_popescu: too lazy to dig, but how diod they end ? acquihire ? simple burnout ?
mircea_popescu: what is this reddit logic.
mircea_popescu: so it's not dependent on them then.
Adlai: (the companies issuing and accepting the tokens are forced to act as market makers)
Adlai: mircea_popescu: your article mainly addresses problems with decentralized security systems as a replacement for high-frequency exchanges. i think it's still possible to issue tokens such as readership credits (or movie tickets, etc) in this fashion, since their market is a lot less dependant upon dedicated market makers
mircea_popescu: nobody particularly cares if you stay or go, but people wil get pretty aggravated by this sort of pr/party line approach. the reason this is a cool forum is exactly not allowing that sorta crap.
mircea_popescu: mpmcsweeney: my name is Stan Higgins - Im heavily involvd in our newsroom and I can safely say we accept no payment of any kind from companies << that's bs, you know it, i know it, why even bother with it ?
mircea_popescu: yeah it's taking a short break
assbot: Why I nixed p2p, colored coins and all that jazz pe Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
mircea_popescu: <Adlai> the advantage of using colored coins is that it should be fairly straightforward to adapt trilema's readership credit code to deal with them << http://trilema.com/2013/why-i-nixed-p2p-colored-coins-and-all-that-jazz/
mircea_popescu: <cazalla> Monthly Bandwidth Transfer 21.68 GB / 48.83 GB, first day on new host, "we're gonna need a bigger boat" << that was at some point the counter ran
thickasthieves: mpmcsweeney link to your articles?
thickasthieves: <+Apocalyptic> thickasthieves, I guess you can remove "- Vote for ATC to be listed at MintPal.com!" from therealaltcoin.org /// done. removed the hitbtc one too
Adlai: guess who isn't going to work today?
Adlai: holy shit, intersection right outside my door is flooded up to the windshields of private cars
Apocalyptic: thickasthieves, I guess you can remove "- Vote for ATC to be listed at MintPal.com!" from therealaltcoin.org
mpmcsweeney: night all - good talking to u
decimation: asciilifeform: yeah I think your solution is definitely better than the $5k machine I linked. I doubt anyone makes something like it, and if they did it wouldn't be cheap
mpmcsweeney: and its good to meet others who share that enthusiasm :D
mpmcsweeney: I dunno, I do this for story telling, its a good industry
mpmcsweeney: I guess my point is that there's honestly no influence to our reporting, at least as far as I as a reporter and editor can tell -- and Im intimately involved in the process
BingoBoingo: mpmcsweeney: There's just things people who came here before coindesk was worry about
