punkman: jurov, oic I missed a zero there

xanthyos: ever think about what max keiser and stacy herbert look like when they're fucking?
xanthyos: max keiser just promotes the agenda of the highest bidder

cazalla: maybe he lost his bitcoins, i can't imagine why someone would promote this shit otherwise
cazalla: mircea_popescu, he has not been back since he mentioned the feed
punkman: seems like the only sensible option at this time
mircea_popescu: this may be the first time in history someone asks to have shares tranferrred into warrants o.O

punkman: mircea_popescu: about those bbet shares, can they be delivered in a year or something? don't want to let them evaporate via coinbr fees just yet

xinxi: I need to go for lunch, ttyl.
xinxi: Thanks. It looks quite interesting to me.
RagnarDanneskjol: punkman - how goes the deed project?

xinxi: RagnarDanneskjol - Thanks. I just saw you registered.
xinxi: you are welcome to criticise.
xinxi: I actually have built the exchange.
xinxi: Thanks to all of you for the suggestions.
mircea_popescu: we just use it that way.
mircea_popescu: brain isn't made for thinking, after all.
xinxi: right, human see what they want to see.
mircea_popescu: the only thing that changes is the flavour.
xinxi: i solve problems, not matter how simple the method I use.
mircea_popescu: my point is merely that throughout a man's lifetime, his thought process is and remains flawed.
mircea_popescu: of course there is. but that bias isn't my point.
xinxi: I think there is somekind of bias in the article about the phds.
xinxi: RagnarDanneskjol - yeah for vanilla options, it is too risky, but I don’t see any problem with binary options technically.
mircea_popescu: coming back to college and letting the boys consult me as an experienced man of affairs. And having finished this process of “thinking” I wired Carroll that I was ready to join him."
mircea_popescu: but anyway : "I was flattered by his interest, so I thought it over. That is, I indulged in what young men frequently mistake for thought. In imagination, I saw my name over the door and myself in a fine glass office looking out and watching clerks taking in money. I had, in anticipation, the thrill of buying one store after another and going from town to town on tours of inspection. I tickled my fancy with the idea of
mircea_popescu: here we go. course meanwhile wiipedia, reddit and the rest of the charade stoile it.
assbot: From the Stacks: Why I Never Hire Brilliant Men | TaoYue.com
mircea_popescu: where is that write-up, with the intellectuals
RagnarDanneskjol: xinxi - there was a pretty decent case study summarized in the february statement
mircea_popescu: i was like, having prop bets while watching it. "does he fuck the teenager"
RagnarDanneskjol: not too shabby
mircea_popescu: RagnarDanneskjol excellent film that.
mircea_popescu: this means you're not particularly looking for evidence, you're moreover chasing a vision or w/e they call daydreaming these days.
RagnarDanneskjol: billybob gives me the creeps
mircea_popescu: xinxi look, proof is a problem of the observer. i listed two major counts : one that it never went anywhere before, the other that it's already done, by bitbet. neither of these impressed you.
mircea_popescu: anyone seen the man who wasn't there ? ☟︎
xinxi: mp, I very much want to know your point.
xinxi: my favorite programming language is C++, because that’s what I learnt when I was in my high school.
xinxi: National University of Singapore. it’s the best school of Singapore.
mircea_popescu: well that's where it becomes complicated.
xinxi: brilliant. but how do you know it’s not worth doing? is there any evidence for that?
mircea_popescu: xinxi all the things you don't say are informative. i'm a mage of silences.
mircea_popescu: ;;later tell sgornick you ever got a hold of cazalla in the end ?
xinxi: mp, I’m a bit suprised that you see so many things from me in such as short conversation.
mircea_popescu: nanotube could the defaults on viewratingdetail.php be sorted by time rather than by rate'rs total point count ? it kinda pointlessly emphasises a meaningless measure, as-is.
mircea_popescu: your best move is to actually read the log, not like people don't get things to do all the time, that's actually worth doing
mircea_popescu: looky, point remains : you're young, you're smart, you wanna do something. that's fine. you're in no position to evaluate what's worth doing and what isn't, and are currently solipsistically proceeding towards something that's not worth doing.
xinxi: …i know that I did not trade using bitcoin-otc.
mircea_popescu: it's not hard to prove at all.
xinxi: I am also a honest person that people can trust, but i know this is hard to prove.
xinxi: i have been trading for more than 7 years.
xinxi: a place some one can trade using the black-schole models.
mircea_popescu: what makes you think you're the guy to do that ?
xinxi: yeah, but i want to change the situation by building a fair exhcange.
assbot: BitBet - 1BTC >= $10,000 USD :: 75 B (9%) on Yes, 755.39 B (91%) on No | closing in 1 month 5 days | weight: 10`108 (100`000 to 1)
mircea_popescu: http://bitbet.us/bet/635/1btc-10-000-usd/ << that's probably the recoird holding btc binary option to date.
assbot: BitBet - Bitcoin to drop under $200 before December :: 2.03 B (16%) on Yes, 10.9 B (84%) on No | closing in 1 week 17 hours | weight: 79`475 (100`000 to 50`000)
mircea_popescu: http://bitbet.us/bet/1056/bitcoin-to-drop-under-200-before-december/ << there, that's a binary option ☟︎
xinxi: that makes them gambling sites.
xinxi: the binary options provided by them are OTC traded.
mircea_popescu: so then ?
xinxi: yeah, right. I know the situation.
mircea_popescu: there's about five hundred dozen scammy sites trying to get that working in fiat, for that matter.
mircea_popescu: there's about a dozen scammy sites trying to get that working in bitcoin
xinxi: but as vanilla opitons are too risky. I am right now focusing on binary options.
mircea_popescu: xinxi what options are you trying to write ?
