mircea_popescu: mthreat: ben_vulpes: I had assumed the l-39 went for around $1M, but they actually go for $175k up to $500k depending on avionics, refurbishing, etc <<< the opcost is the bigger problem there
mircea_popescu: ;;later tell princessnell say when you're about.
mircea_popescu: ;;later tell wywialm say when you're about.

mats_cd03: you're unlikely to get caught
mircea_popescu: TheNewDeal not really in your best interest. if you manage to mess with the plane's comms you might even crash it
TheNewDeal: or is that asking for trouble
TheNewDeal: can I bring this on an airplane and fuck with people?
mircea_popescu: they still gotta get a cert to be allowed to import it.
The20YearIRCloud: It does,but when we fly it outside there isn't any wifi interuption it sems
mircea_popescu: hm this shouldn't really be possible, surprised they allowed the import
TheNewDeal: I was going to say, tell him to fly it by your least favorite neighbor
The20YearIRCloud: Granted it's an easy fix - don't fly the helicopter inside
The20YearIRCloud: the router i believe switches channels automatically when there's a signal blocking it, i think the helicopter thing is just so leaky that it prevents the wifi sinal
The20YearIRCloud: Well this is nice, i didn't realize the controller for my kids quadcopter was a 2.4ghz device. It jams our home's wifi signal

jurov digests the information
mircea_popescu: they're used to being scammed.
mircea_popescu: eh, they're chinese
thickasthieves: but i do worry for people using their exchanges
mircea_popescu: you know, just like the $ amt someone paid for their supposed stash is not public knowledge.
thickasthieves: i'm just waiting for bitcoin to ban china
TheNewDeal: jurov china, then they banned it ;)
thickasthieves: <+mircea_popescu> his skin could be hellraiser's for all the difference it'd make to his life. /// maybe the guy just had particularly distracting skin, probly not, but ive seen such before
jurov: who borrowed btc to them?
mircea_popescu: the beauty of it all is that it does.

mircea_popescu: nevertheless in amusement terms it's quite something.
mircea_popescu: ohohohoho notrly. while the abject selfdebasing of the highschool priss is exactly of zero practical weight, as there are more pleasant girls and better trained, so one'd never seriously use her for a direct purpose,
kakobrekla: (would love to be wrong here)
mircea_popescu: i'll prolly have a special lotion designed for the experience.
mircea_popescu: if they end up defaulting because misjudged their strength and got head bit off by bitcoin i'll have the most satisfying wank conceivable by man
kakobrekla: <mircea_popescu> the risk when one tries to artificially depress a security is that he'll end up selling most of his load at the lowest price and then have to repay the borrow at the high price. < way easier to default
mircea_popescu: his skin could be hellraiser's for all the difference it'd make to his life.
mircea_popescu: not in female terms.
mircea_popescu: i mean, something other than chuckles at their expense ?
mircea_popescu: is this some sort of braindamged feminism run amok where they imagine that if they "microagress" the patriarchy by discussing thiel as if he were some made-to-fuck-once-and-discard popstarlet something's gonna happen ?
mircea_popescu: who thinks anyone cares to hear about how thiel's skin is ?!
mircea_popescu: "Tall and thin with close-cropped hair and ageless skin" what the motherfucking shit is wrong with these people.
mircea_popescu: matrix ? nah. the us anti-intellectualism fully at work : technology as the magic of the evil, desocialised, psychopathic dr evil.
thickasthieves: jdany_ leaving AM (and all bitcoin securities dealings) was something that took a few mos to prep and execute
jurov: transcendence or how it was called was rather positive about tech
The20YearIRCloud: It showed technology in a positive light, humans were finally unable to destroy gaia
dub: tbh 'they' have continue to display a good level of brain damage
mircea_popescu: "Name a science fiction movie in the last 25 years that shows technology in a positive light,” says Peter Thiel << anything made in asia ?
thickasthieves: mp yeha it got to a point where there were too many unique open cases and balancing the transfer books was impossible
assbot: Peter Thiel Wants to Make Hackers Into Heroes -- NYMag
mircea_popescu: it marginally beats even the wall street derps doing gauss copulae on excel spreadsheets
mircea_popescu: their retarded "we'll issue shares, but on glbse ; we'll keep the shares, but on our own ah-doc registry" was perhaps the most braindamaged piece of financial management ever displayed to the public.
The20YearIRCloud: HASH is doing well too
thickasthieves: did i get skimmed for 90 or so shares lost in transfers, yes
thickasthieves: depends what you mean? did i sell all shares at absolute top, no?
thickasthieves: i was sour for a long time on AM
mircea_popescu: i think The20YearIRCloud uses it
thickasthieves: and the only securities woth consideration are probably on mpex

jdany_: Thanks Tat
mircea_popescu: i will take it very personally if the actual financial collapse of the us is brought about by a manic attempt to chase losses in their failed attempts to maninpulate the btc price.
assbot: Silver Thursday - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
mircea_popescu: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silver_Thursday << this being the tardpedia discussion on the topic.
mircea_popescu: it's how the cornering of the silver market worked
thickasthieves: jdany messaged me on bitcointalk asking why i left, i explained there was no reason to stay and that here is better

thickasthieves: can only trade in 1% or sumth
thickasthieves: itd also be nice if the pricing werent abstracted in some fukt way that i need a spreadsheet just to know values
thickasthieves: would love if mpex or an mpex property offered any sort of price instrument that would allow moving volume from other exchanges
thickasthieves: mpex investors dont like taking losses
thickasthieves: hl just has the mining thing, AM holdouts, and RENT IPOz
thickasthieves: not in any way significant to people with money
thickasthieves: because mpex isnt providing anything people want to play with intraday
jurov: i'm then reluctant to invest time and effort into improving coinbr, too
jurov: i feel like no one is looking to mpex and nobody notices stuff anymore

decimation: hams were pissed, asked fcc to reconsider - fcc reconsidered and said "yeah you can operate your bot in the ham band"
decimation: asciilifeform: there is an amusing side story to that little two-wheeled bot - it's called the 'recon scout'. Turns out that it was made for the us military, who don't give a shit about civilian usg frequency allocation rules. When they wanted to sell it in the us, they had to get a special note from Stalin because it was actually operating ... in the middle of the ham band: http://www.arrl.org/news/fcc-allows-robotic-device-in-
