mircea_popescu: but basically yeah, there's names which serve
as marks of failure. something with goat involved, or nefario, or preston byrne or taaki etc can only fail
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: no, we're intelligent housewives, not dumb american housewives. << I had a disappointing lapse into Americanisms today. I timed my return drive poorly and passed the restaurants before they opened. Ended up getting fried chicken livers at the supermarket and eating them
as I drove the rest of the way back.
mircea_popescu: los_pantalones a yes, the guy has a point
as to "proper" aging. you can't do sngle steaks
davout: that they don't eat at home the same way
as in restaurants?
davout: also they seem smart enough to serve a bowl of salad
as a side
mircea_popescu: davout because it's not dude. what the fuck do i know what you'll be doing next. if you were going to change the thing';s name why da fuck did you bet on it
as it is etc.
davout: "First and foremost, statements that can not univocally be established
as either true or false at a certain point in the future are BadBets and
as such unacceptable on BitBet."
fluffypony takes out his list and crosses mircea_popescu off
as potential mother figures
mircea_popescu: pankkake because they have a theory
as to what it means.
pankkake: just what I told them months ago,
as "why it's a scam"
mircea_popescu: artifexd we prolly need a Bots megapage anyway. so this could go in botlist and then bot commands could be further down the page,
as a list
hanbot: this collarme closure thingie reads like a slightly more literate (though entirely
as retarded) forum ipo pronouncement of lost marbles.
mircea_popescu: artifexd mind putting a list of bot commands up on the wiki
as part of a "chan bots commands page" ?
mircea_popescu: mind putting a list of bot commands up on the wiki
as part of a "chan bots commands page" ?
mircea_popescu: not a matter of that dude, it just depends on how the bond is structured.
as the bond is structured, so it is reported.
mthreat: <mircea_popescu> ... everything just oriented the same way like it was fucking mecca << it's a religion... apparently in 1978 when they won the world cup, it was big a distraction
as the government was kidnapping, torturing, and killing 30,000 "desaparecidos".
bitcoinpete: "DigitalBTC, which began
as a mining operation but also engages in bitcoin trading and is developing retail and consumer applications, debuted on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) this morning
as Digital CC Limited (trading
as digitalBTC) (ASX code: DCC)."
benkay: considered reporting when a bet total ratchets past integer btc at stake? in the same vein
as the ticker bots accumulating trades under 1B
mircea_popescu: for that matter, the gulag shall be quite public. webcams everywhere, with ample explanation
as to what the criminal did.
gribble: CAUTION: irc nick differs from otc registered nick. Nick 'KRS1', with hostmask 'KRS1!~chrix@c-50-143-86-143.hsd1.fl.comcast.net', is identified
as user 'KRS', with GPG key id DDCA1AC02D73D555, key fingerprint AEDA19C1901B6FA0207B9620DDCA1AC02D73D555, and bitcoin address None
mircea_popescu: it did all this before. better, even, arguably, since still no man was yet
as rich
as crassus.
mircea_popescu:
as a six year old boy he's gonna be your father regardless.
mircea_popescu: funnier still : "Buey zaraza, tus ojos tristones" in original. buey is commonly used in romanian today
as a vocative address
moiety: i like this one, how often do they rotate? the last one eas really nice but didnt stay
as long
as monoply or have i lostt time via moving - entirely pribable
moiety: it seems happy enough, i guess
as it doesnt know any better
benkay: <moiety> you know they talk back after X years right? // you should have heard the things
as what came out of my mouth.
gribble: Error: Spurious "]". You may want to quote your arguments with double quotes in order to prevent extra brackets from being evaluated
as nested commands.
fluffypony:
as well
as 16 year old females from Cali
mircea_popescu: well, it's definitely the blockchain-friendliest approach, seeing
as only a hash is stored in the first place. moreover, i don't see how nonspendable tx helps anything other than pruning
punkman: not having to keep it in unspent tx list is the more important part
as I understand it
mircea_popescu: this is why never to trust google
as an arbiter of relevancy.
mircea_popescu: betcha there'd be just the same folks
as today for whom itwon't build.
mircea_popescu: this is what makes shakespeare relevant, today
as in his time. this is also what makes marc andreessen irrelevant today, and permanently.
mircea_popescu: incidentally, this is genius : writing things that are correct
as you write them, and then stay correct
as later readers apply them to circumstances you could not have foreseen.
mircea_popescu: the issues of "entrepreneurship"
as practiced by the circus could not be better described.
mircea_popescu: er need
as the motivation to enter the field. second, an unskilled labor force will want job security more than intellectual challenges (to some the very antithesis of job security). third, managing an unskilled labor force means easy access to people who are skilled in whatever is needed right now, not an investment in people — which leads to the conclusion that a programmer is only
as valuable
as his ability to get
mircea_popescu: "something important happens when a previously privileged position in society suddenly sees incredibly demand that needs to be filled, using enormous quantities of manpower. that happened to programming computers about a decade ago, or maybe two. first, the people will no longer be super dedicated people, and they won’t be
as skilled or even
as smart — what was once dedication is replaced by greed and sometimes she
mircea_popescu: if your average us citizen got to run
as much
as a chicken coop... woe on those chickens.
mircea_popescu: anyway, the problem
as stated is unresolvable.
as the future includes the past, you can't by yourself prove you were anterior to a point. only ulteriority can be proven that hardcore
mircea_popescu: the thing is, the hardcore future problem is not resolvable,
as entropy only goes one way
mdev: but yeah
as other have said the problem with date is you can set it to what you want, so only way to confirm the date is used a 3rd party someone trusts
mircea_popescu: generally, i rarely think someone is
as smart
as they think themselves. similarly, i rarely think someone is
as dumb
as they think themselves. so there :D
mdev: just putting a lot of trust in nanotube, i've never seen really the guy talk but I think he owns gribble
as well, and is founder of #bitcoin
as well
BingoBoingo: mdev: Bitcoin is too valuable for ghash.io to do serious damage at 51% plus so long
as miners are economically motivated...
kakobrekla: >
As bitbet grows more popular, there SHOULD be a greater number of bets imo. And that includes sports.
mircea_popescu: if thjat were the proposition, then it'd have been just a dumb
as fuck deal. even in that case, claiming it's not a scam is marginal, much in the way adding a nuclear device to your doorknob is endangerment, even if you think people shouldn't have fucked with the doorknob.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: In other news I found the turd that crashed firefox... Gnu Gnash. Firefox somehow installed it
as it upgraded. Firefox now when I deign it to run, runs from jail.
midnightmagic: and then for looser evidence, "I" have a >2GB namecoin wallet which makes namecoin nearly unusable without modifying the source
as there appears to be a race condition on ResendWalletTransactions()
kakobrekla: several idiots made bots to pull
as much addresses from bbet
as possible
danielpbarron: he apparently doesn't trust you; I wouldn't go
as far
as to give a -10, but that's just me
danielpbarron: <+Blazedout419> lol your ratings are a joke << the reason I queried my rating of you was to show that I had given you a -1 long before it was discovered that you somehow had enough +1's to get voice in here (
as in, not my fault)
kakobrekla: then that x amount barely counts
as an investment
xmj: ThickAsThieves: some company at EuroBSDcon last year had 3.5" floppies
as 'business cards'
mthreat:
as in "concha de tu madre"
diametric: asciilifeform: we could go visit it anytime
as well.
nubbins`: now, if you're getting printed shit shipped to you, might
as well go full-throttle, order up some mpex propaganda posters, get one of your staff to go around wheatpasting them in the financial district
ThickAsThieves: you could always run the job through 4over.com, the paper wouldnt be quite
as nice, but few would notic
bitcoinpete: i guess i didn't read the usg sale
as propaganda-y
Vexual: i thought it might be, "we'll set you up
as a co coz youll be making 1 million withing 6 months"
Vexual: well the other 50% prevents it, and
as you tend to 100%, it becomes unprofitable
mircea_popescu: "My guess is that they never expected to get caught and suffer income loss
as a result of their attack. But, once they were caught, I put a filter in place to block them from the payout queue (similar to the block on known MtGox addresses). Eligius’s offline wallet now has roughly 200 BTC work credits held from the payout queue under the attacker's addresses, that we have stopped them from stealing."
mircea_popescu: but anyway, so i go buy one of each type, and
as chance would have it i first try the tyhing called "anatomical"
nubbins`: artifexd: your shirts shipped
as well
kakobrekla: so what brings you manamex , you only got a 30 min block might
as well use it
pankkake: fluffypony: it's not that novel though, plenty of companies do it. they patent things
as a defensive measure
fluffypony: also it means Tesla-compatible charging points can be put up by tons of other manufacturers to support "their" cars,
as everyone can use the same charging tech
fluffypony: xmj: ok awesome - also see if there's a place that does tailored shirts
as well, need to pick a few up
decimation: asciilifeform my favorite quote from "the first circle": "A familiar figure in many prison research establishments, Professor Chelnov, an old mathematician arrested seventeen years ago and who, when he had to fill in a form, put down his nationality not
as 'Russian' but
as 'zek', had applied his mind to many inventions, from the direct flow boiler to the jet engine, and had put his heart and soul into several of them."
mike_c: it's like we have discussed before. it affects merchants. it's not
as easy to move coin around. this makes little difference for the occasional user, but 1 hour block time on average means sometimes 2+ hours for a block.
unbalanced: I figure that the -25% to -50% range is desirable,
as long
as it doesn't fall so far someone can't easily spike it up 4x again.
