smickles: It was not so fun as a hostile takeover
benkay: failing that, you can use a btc addr as well.
Namworld: Blockchain keeps fitting on a single drive as long as it's regularly upgraded to a recent one and start looking smaller and smaller.
benkay: i'm highlighting that in a worst case scenario it's not a problem and also as Mats_cd03 and i have and keep pointing out - not a problem to begin with even.
benkay: hdbuck: if you're serious about wanting to learn, start with gpg. get into the wot, get a rating, lurk or derp in here as you see fit.
BingoBoingo: benkay: Nah, storage capacities are growing too fast and have too much of a head start. It will probably fit on a single hard drive for at least another decade. It's just... Parsing the block chain as a full node will probably require more thoroughput than a single drive offers.
hdbuck: benkay: ah i know you guys think of it as gold 2.0 which is not meant for the average joe to come around with but i am just not sure how this will all play out. :/
mircea_popescu: as large as your batch can conceivably be, you'll sell it, either full or quarter.
mircea_popescu: pankkake: as well as litecoin.foundation. fuckers << dude who the fuck cares.
jurov: mircea_popescu: that was 7 or so years ago, google worked as advertised then
benkay: Mats_cd03: we found the stuff as what was wrong and unfucked it.
fluffypony: I'm sure people would buy shares like crazy if you issue them as colored coins (if the idea is good)."
pankkake: as well as litecoin.foundation. fuckers
assbot: Alpha-male bear facing castration as sexual dominance threatens population | Environment | theguardian.com
mircea_popescu: Namworld: fluffypony, the real world doesn't care about reality. << more like the reverse. reality doesn't care for whatever set you happen to have mislabeled as "the real world". probably a selection of terminally unemployable couch surfing webexperts.
punkman: the technology of the demagogue is as old as dirt, who needs brain-controlling computars
jurov: pankkake: i really hope these electrodes end up as ignobel candidates, too
fluffypony: ;;later tell benkay F.OLD as the symbol?
TheNewDeal: not nearly as rich as you all
TheNewDeal: the way they report it now - with bets made taken as a windfall, and bets resolved as a gain, kind of hides their results of their bets
mircea_popescu: which brings us to the problem : because bitcoin is fixed, a 95% investment situation will be unavoidable statistically. as the value of all paper will much exceed the value of cash btc available, willy-nilly.
mike_c: ok.. perhaps this will bring our lines of thought closer: in my theoretical model, someone with as much bitcoin as you should absolutely not be 95% invested.
mthreat: buffett talks about that a lot, e.g. from 1994: "Though there are as many good businesses as ever, it is useless for us to make purchases that are inconsequential in relation to Berkshire's capital. … We now consider a security for purchase only if we believe we can deploy at least $100 million in it. Given that minimum, Berkshire's investment universe has shrunk dramatically.
mircea_popescu: to put it another way : behind door A there's a bacterium. in the proper agar it doubles every half minute. behind door B there's a naked buxom beauty. you can pick either door, the prize will be entirely yours to dispose as you please.
mircea_popescu: as a smart guy you can still say all thestupid shit you may want to say
mircea_popescu: as a hot guy you can still fuck all the ugly chicks you want
mircea_popescu: mike_c now obviously as fair as this deal would be to you, it's still not particularly fair to jd.
mike_c: he owns lots of companies outside US, and the US companies sell more product outside america than inside. US could get wiped off map, and as long as Omaha was left standing he'd be ok.
mircea_popescu: doesn't have to be the personal you. the theoretical you, as described by must always eat cake
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo so far, it'd seem the playbook of the vc twerp is, "1. eat as much conference rubber duck as possible ; 2. show trial ; 3. become usg informant"
mthreat: ok, as long as you know what I meant ;)
davout: mthreat: not to nitpick, but there's no such thing as a rest request
davout: mthreat: the search should be as dumb as possible imo
mircea_popescu: wot score is not intended to be used as a scalar.
mthreat: I was going to use something like log(poster's WoT score) as the "pageRank" equivalent for ranking the results
mthreat: mircea_popescu: I've been thinking about making a log search. A handy search-as-a-service might come in handy there.
dub: Today, a young man on acid realized that all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration.that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively. There is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we're the imagination of ourselves. Here's davout with the weather
davout: pankkake: "hail is here" <<< as predicted on -assets
bitcoingirl: this is my conclusion: "In order for the SEC to consider raising bitcoin a securities offering, they would have to consider bitcoin as ‘money,' which they haven't"
benkay: p. typical. is this true of btc accounts as well?
kakobrekla: davout iirc they started as US only
davout: "he said he couldn't get a bank account... as if it was out of his control" <<< actually, it wouldn't really surprise me if this was true
bitcoingirl: he said he couldn't get a bank account... as if it was out of his control
benkay: such as foundation soliciting deposits and burning them on trabamborghinis?
jurov: such as, kenna being serial scammer?
bitcoingirl: patrick just sits on the board as an 'advisor'
benkay: so we begin to draw a picture of this DATA thing - they flaunt dead operations as proof of their relevance.
jurov: such as, do you perchance have active coinbr account?
CheckDavid: fluffypony: as far as I know they are only slow compared to asics
kakobrekla: now you can talk here as well.
mircea_popescu: <fluffypony> "AS USED BY DAVOUT" splashed across the front page << and you know the only reason - and i do mean the ONLY reason - this is not happening right now is because he's not big enough yet.
fluffypony: "AS USED BY DAVOUT" splashed across the front page
Littlep1: In fact that will work for you as well send them an email
mircea_popescu: i'm sure anything you want to say to me can be said here as well.
mircea_popescu: i will just as soon as smickles gets back online ;/
FabianB: mircea_popescu: hosting costs are not an issue, let me think about it; maybe we can do both, an mpexbot clone and kako integrating the missing commands as well (so an irc client doesn't have to rely on both)
cazalla: you can do quicker in oven, 90mins but veggies aren't as good
assbot: Ten people savaged by flesh-eating piranhas in Argentinian river as they tried to cool off in blistering 41C heat | Mail Online
TheNewDeal: just as bad as having your nuts in a vise
Vexual: TheNewDeal: quick as you like
benkay: <mdev> well as you said it took you awhile, and you maybe quite the clever fellow, so it could take others even longer. I just don't see the point, versus letting all participate // "all" sucks.
assbot: NBA writer /JeffZillgitt for the win with his quote sheet as if California Chrome was playing in the NBA Finals http://t.co/PpJsvFG4pP
mdev: well as you said it took you awhile, and you maybe quite the clever fellow, so it could take others even longer. I just don't see the point, versus letting all participate
mdev: nothing to be afraid of, big channels don't have anywhere near as locked system like in here, and they don't get spammed much/ever and if they do it doesn't last long
mircea_popescu: "So I hold that giving someone a bad risk measure was just as CRIMINAL as giving someone the wrong medicine. For a long time nobody sanctioned doctors who poisoned their patients. Why don’t we take on the proponents of quantitative risk management, put them in jail so they stop harming us?"
mircea_popescu: ately, but lead people to TAKE MORE RISK foolishly thinking they know something. [This is the reason I singled out Fannie Mae in The Black Swan as a firm sitting on dynamite & the International Association of Financial Engineers as a society of snake oil vendors harmful to society]. After > 1 trillion in losses I can safely say that my statement that the banking system has been taking more risks than they thought SHOULD
fluffypony: and it will grow as he gets through the logs
fluffypony: plus the dictionary as an added bonus
fluffypony: but it's more as an ongoing reference
mircea_popescu: ;;later tell bingoboingo http://www.shortpacked.com/index.php?id=2086 << as hanbot points out, who the hell would want to have sex with someone with that attitude ?!
mircea_popescu: the very concept of "platform" is predicatred onm there not being many of them. imagine if there's 500 platforms, the whole thing looks about as flat as chinatown
mircea_popescu: imo the fewer platforms the better, as a general philosophy.
fluffypony: danielpbarron: I replied to the fucktard on that thread as well
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: With that question I take two answers as meaningless, one as a suggestion the answerer should be sent to the LISP mines
fluffypony: I wonder if pankkake's ramblings count as philosophy
BingoBoingo: fluffypony: As someone who argued on the forum for quite some time you are tilting against this sort of inevitability: http://www.gomerblog.com/2014/06/pharmacists/
Namworld: That's why I say there hasn't been as much good arbitrage opportunity. Havelock ain't much good.
assbot: BitBet - Bitcoin to surpass Berkshire as an investment :: 1120.86 B (86%) on Yes, 186.18 B (14%) on No | closing in 8 months 1 week| weight: 75`215 (100`000 to 1)
mircea_popescu: http://bitbet.us/bet/786/bitcoin-to-surpass-berkshire-as-an-investment/
mircea_popescu: "As for substance abuse I'll admit I like to have a few beers, But for the most part I stay off the drugs as of late."
mircea_popescu: there's people doing this thing with ponzis (politely known as "hyip") where they send money and try to take it back out before everyone else.
Namworld: No, of course, but I only hear of failed funds. Certainly some people in here did it with some kind of success? They're just not as public since investing for themselves. Was looking to hear about any such person.
mircea_popescu: anyway, yes, generally speaking physical exhaustion. i guess walking can be the same as a spirited bout of skanko-roman wrestling.
punkman: they actually label the denatured stuff as "lamp/lighting" alcohol
mircea_popescu: it's not denaturated to the degree that the label lists as indications : for rubbing,
mircea_popescu: deanclkclk well as a general rule don't make statements you don't have backing for at the ready.
Apocalyptic: as fluffypony said, this is entirely irrelevant to gribble's auth
deanclkclk: but, as I said..I have my WOT account
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: what's even better is that Usagi quoted BitcoinBourse as a defence
asciilifeform: 'How long can something be held as wrong before its practice is discontinued? A long, very long time, much longer than we think.' << from mp's taleb page. in our case, synchronous logic.
BingoBoingo: dooglus: I assumed you paid him as he claimed, because soon afterwards his confessional went missing (Kingofsports that is)
TheNewDeal: judging by the numbers, half as worthy
mike_c: TheNewDeal: true.. but i am seeing the same numbers as you. 45 ph/s
bitcoinpete: CryptoConsultor: been playing with tech stocks for about 15 years, did some lending and gambling as a kid, then started reading taleb and others about 4 years ago and here we are
TheNewDeal: bitcoinpete, haven't you hit some hard times in bitcoin as well?
bitcoinpete: CryptoConsultor: as always, the best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago
CryptoConsultor: That's tough to find as a single dad with 2 careers
bitcoinpete: CryptoConsultor: well spend 6 months reading logs here and derusting and you'll be good as new
bitcoinpete: dooglus: a misunderstood then. either way, betting on that kid is as sensical as that kid's betting
dooglus: but it's phrased as a disjunction, so I doubt it will b acceptable
