mircea_popescu: the thing works on the same econoimics as the spam "business".
davout: for example, due to the way transferring btc out at BC works, you can have an executed transfer that's still marked as pending on the web interface
davout: but with time taken into account as well
mircea_popescu: as contradictiory and nonsensical as that may be, it's not intended for thinking people

artifexd: kakobrekla: Bug fixed and confirmed as fixed. :)
fluffypony: I've been slowly putting some thoughts down and a timeline of how things went down as a blog post
mircea_popescu: i do not know there is anyone more incompetent alive today than people posing as lawyers for the us federal bureaucracy.
mircea_popescu: When the target of satire complains that it is defamatory, the relevant question is whether the satire can reasonably be taken as a statement of fact about its subject. Dr. Berkley, by saying that "of course" the satirical articles do not reflect the actual words of the subjects, has just proclaimed that the satire he is complaining about cannot be taken as a statement of fact.
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves: Chrome was freezing so i went to uninstall it and i think i unistalled the whole os ui << MP on ubuntu fresh install. "Why the shit does this have internet ? Take it out". Ubuntu proceeds to mark everything as "to be uninstalled", all the way up to the kernel. Why ? BECAUSE FUCKTARDS MARK EVERYTHING AS A DEPENDENCY.
mircea_popescu: mike_c prev bump was 10%. and this does get increasingly hard as time goes by, too

jborkl: bitcoinpete , nice - I am trying to keep the data very small and as few requests as possible - under 200kb for a new visit and around 10 requests and a half second load time
assbot: Russians Flee U.S. Treasury Debt As Sanctions Hit - Real Time Economics - WSJ
bitcoinpete: http://blogs.wsj.com/economics/2014/05/15/russians-flee-u-s-treasury-debt-as-sanctions-hit/
thestringpuller: aren't those people labeled as scammors until those obligations are paid of per the contract?
thestringpuller: bitcoinpete: so my idea would be to do what mircea_popescu did but additionally, compare it to the known losses of non scammor companies (i think most losses from non scamming companies have been covered somehow). Thus there is like a two-side criterion based on BingoBoingo's observation of a BTC company that incurs losses it can never cover as "scammors"

mircea_popescu: just as much a card as any other.
assbot: 322529 – Upgrade Math.random() to a better algorithm, such as Mersenne Twister
BingoBoingo: Basically the New England Journal of Medicine is irrelevant because they insist on embeding images as adobe flash
punkman: why do all these 7" low resolution monitors cost as much as a 20" HD one?
Naphex: or have the irc client use utf8 decoding as default
Naphex: and you can spend bitcoin on pp shops as USD, without ID
Naphex: well he's been soundbiting it on bloomberg as well
mircea_popescu: mike_c was as high as nyse, practically. back when btc went over 1200
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: it's quite funny - the Twitter exchange earlier led me to stumbling across MPEX's AngelList profile around the same time as the conversation in -otc
fluffypony: "The most expensive inflation-adjusted seat was sold in 1929 for $625,000, which, today, would be over six million dollars. In recent times, seats have sold for as high as $4 million in the late 1990s and as low as $1 million in 2001."
mircea_popescu: fluffypony yeah. except mpoe is incorporated as a zero asset corp, and bitbet may be migrated, once i have some time to dick with that.
mircea_popescu: Or that more attractive people are judged as more trustworthy, or they arguments they give as more intelligent. << this is actually not that bad a bias.
mircea_popescu: fluffypony: I don't get the Ohio thing << ohio is the shithole state. i used it as a metaphorical derogatory, to help the guy understand that his vc circuit is a bit player in bitcoin.

fluffypony: and as the tweet pointed out, 30k BTC > 20k BTC
fluffypony: kinda like how I spent 2 days getting exim4 perfectly setup as an mta for outbound mail when sendmail would be fine
fluffypony: so their winnings should be weighted as "valuable"
fluffypony: South African Airways is part of that as well
mircea_popescu: why would a bunch of dorks with nary a clue as to the workings of the actual tools of their trade be even for a second taken seriously as "journalists" ?
decimation: "The argument here would be that unconventional policy might be just as effective as conventional policy, but if the Fed is less willing to use it then the ZLB still represents a constraint. " LoL sentence
davout: instead of being metabolized as fat it gets metabolized into energy for third worlders
mircea_popescu: pain without humiliation does not work as an educative device.
mircea_popescu: as it is, it simply moves some pizzas from idiot us people to famished third worlders, and persuades even more us idiots that "crypto = scam"
davout: mircea_popescu: sure, i could add a check, but imo a RAND() quantity would count as unspecified, not a X where X may or may not be larger than my available cash
davout: jurov: why is a bot that uses all available resources be considered as derpy ?
davout: maybe you can't PM as a noob

mircea_popescu: if they could do anything even remotely useful at all, they;d be there doing it. like, probably dating and getting drunk with their friends, as higher marginal utility activities than "solving hunger in this one block"
mike_c: because theoretical science isn't as fun as engineering.
FabianB: does MPEx still count as startup? :)
gribble: Nick 'chetty', with hostmask 'chetty!~chet@unaffiliated/chetty', is identified as user 'chetty', with GPG key id BD7C5558DD9EFA14, key fingerprint AE3A51FA6C038A5B4D3FE80FBD7C5558DD9EFA14, and bitcoin address None
benkay: but good mercs as with good people of any stripe are not fungible.
Mats_cd03: incidentally... lots of this happened with NATO .mil forces, but its not as good of a story as mercs doin it
mircea_popescu: as if idiocy ages or something.
mircea_popescu: otherwise "the right to be as rich as anyone else" is already well entrenched

CheckDavid: Don’t go out and start trying to offed people, but do reframe criticism not as a bad thing but as a trigger for growth. - hey mircea_popescu
mircea_popescu: (don't tell me the black man dressed up as a vallet isn't really one and i just made a horrible gaffe offending our funny friends in the colonies)
HeySteve: completely invested in her candidacy. Opposition to her is going to be depicted as misogynistic, like opposition to Obama has been depicted as racist. It’s going to be this completely symbolic messaging that’s going to overshadow the fact that she’ll do nothing but continue everything in pursuit of her own power. They’ll probably have a gay person after Hillary who’s just
BingoBoingo: I've long imagined him as kind of a bizzaro universe Stan
mircea_popescu: just, not nearly as many fucktarded russian hipsters going around. for fear of beatings.
mircea_popescu: as the webpage
Naphex: also if the US have the backdoor, you might as well figure everyone does, so IL, DE, CN
Naphex: as well most server techs and ipmi disabled, hdd encryption, etc
TheNewDeal: for example: bet resolves as no if the credit is not covered in the next period
mike_c: JD has processed over 1B bets.. impressive. average wager is 0.00445 BTC. not as impressive.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla you have a point tho, iu don't think davout is registered as a texas political promoter
mircea_popescu: thus begins your career as a ... texas legislature political promoter ?
Apocalyptic: "and for some reason the ticket was marked as solved without any response"
mircea_popescu: "After all, this is a dude with a lot of industry exposure and investments as it is. He could basically build a closed-loop bitcoin ecosystem himself via his roles as both investor (BitAngels, LA Bitcoin Accelerator) and executive at companies ranging from mining (KNCMiner), ATM hardware (Robocoin), payment processing (GoCoin), consumer wallet (ExpressCoin), and bitcoin exchange (Mt. Gox?). "
mircea_popescu: he's here trying to establish a noob as "early investor" ? orly ? gtfo.
mircea_popescu: amusing as 3) is, considering how utterly trampled he got for all the pompous bullshit he was trying to pass back then,
mircea_popescu: and as to why now rather than earlier : nobody gives a shit about the foundation. nobod yreads what they do. nobody cares.
mircea_popescu: >Pierce called Egan “a pathological liar” and told BuzzFeed that he has charter flight records that prove that Singer and the other defendants were never in Hawaii with Egan, as the lawsuit alleges. He said that he could not immediately release those records.<
mircea_popescu: as if fraud ages.
mircea_popescu: as if lol.
mircea_popescu: Let’s be clear here: Brock Pierce considers his previous work with IGE to have been a positive contribution to virtual currencies as a whole and he holds the delusion that his work in the field was instrumental to paving the way for Bitcoin. He wishes to be “The Godfather of Bitcoin”... It means what you think it means, especially in Hollywood.
princessnell: Apocalyptic i am fond of many ideas. and often the people who propose them as well.
kakobrekla: since i dont want to come out as a preferist ill paste this here too. http://shrani.si/f/1u/Rt/3i4fvDF8/pnceur-usd13-may-2014-01.png
