ben_vulpes: i'm just a turbine in the breeze
ben_vulpes: > charities, yeah, and we all know how they allocate capital.
ben_vulpes: and on the flipside, i'm talking another client out of his mobile things.
mircea_popescu: but i kinda thought those are mostly run like charities
ben_vulpes: where even the poverty stricken have 3 inches of pixels on which to advertise...
ben_vulpes: mind you though this whole thing only makes sense in the insanitorum
ben_vulpes: plus the odd revenue stream can come out of a piece of software like that: user data, better advertising opportunities...
ben_vulpes: not the worst deployment of capital in the world. they're not chasing lotto returns or anything.
ben_vulpes: say a stadium would rather commission a mobile thinger than print oodles of shiny paper for every game
mircea_popescu: fuck them, let them a) advertise themselves and b) pay you to be there.
mircea_popescu: it's like if you owned a small shop, paid rent and then advertised the mall.
ben_vulpes: but hey on the previous topic while all the cheap, easily accessed hydrocarbons have been extracted from the app store stuff, some of us are derping around in the service of large piles of capital, sinking wells here and there.
mircea_popescu: " that the largest ever quotient of email addresses, usernames and passwords"... ahem. this is not what "quotient" means.
assbot: Urgent security warning that may affect all internet users - Namecheap Blog
mircea_popescu: if they werent' so boneheaded about bitcoin (and porn, for that matter) stuff like that'd have a chance, maybe.
gernika: I saw an interesting pricing model recently. An app I used allowed me to buy a specific new feature. That's an improvement over, buy once, get free updates forever.
mircea_popescu: i guess congrats are in order to apple, they managed to burn it all in five years.
eightyeight: yeah. the main app supports it with '-c'
mircea_popescu: the remains of a mining boom, basically. lotta ghost towns and some old whores.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes im seeing pretty much that yes.
gernika: ben_vulpes true more and more
mircea_popescu: i dunno, judging by the sad state of the ipad games (which i've been reviewing for the past month or so) i doubt much money is spent at all.
ben_vulpes: "crapshoot", i think is the term.
ben_vulpes: days of apps as money makers is kinda gone at this point gernika
gernika: mircea_popescu well the apple app store is full of people who do. Although it's not as popular is windows, the app store can be a good source of revenue as apple users tend to spend more money on apps.
mircea_popescu: "I am certainly up for spending a few hundred dollars here" << we got called trolls by a guy whose budget is three whole figures :D
punkman: to the curses app
eightyeight: to the curses bug?
punkman: eightyeight: link to that?
mircea_popescu: gernika i just didn't realise anyone who's not apple writes for the os-x as a platform.
gernika: mircea_popescu yes. The UI dev wanted a lot of control over the UI, and didn't want to build a js ui full of ugly compromises.
mircea_popescu: it's full of trolls ?!
eightyeight: when the curses interface for bitmessage gets its bugs worked out, i'll be pretty excited
punkman: #b-a testimonials http://bitcoinstats.com/irc/bitcoin-otc/logs/2014/09/01#l1409605286
gernika: Yes it's compatible. It runs pybitmessage in the background without the qt UI (we made our own UI). Yes there are plans for a cross platform client, but that's a ways off.
eightyeight: gernika: is bitpost compatible? also, any plans for something other than an os-x only client?
punkman: give me a tldr, how does it work
eightyeight: i need to expand my bitmessage social circle. :)

assbot: Maria Callas "Mon coeur s'ouvre a ta voix " - YouTube
mircea_popescu: dude the shit i'm missing out on. the us billboard STILL EXISTS ?!
mircea_popescu: "In 2013, Grande rose to prominence after the release of her debut studio album, Yours Truly, which debuted at number one on the U.S. Billboard 200. The albums lead single, "The Way", became a top ten hit on the Billboard Hot 100 with critics comparing her wide vocal range to Mariah Carey."
mircea_popescu: so in conclusion, Ariana Grande and this chick http://imgur.com/Mbsh524 are kinda cute.
mircea_popescu: because this is being so like courageous and risque and errything. totally tongue out dude!
mircea_popescu: lmao @idiot. yeah, totally fake, someone really derps around making multiple fake shots of her stupid mug with her tongue out the same exact way

mircea_popescu: makes sense, the total pool would be updated once per block.
artifexd: Since in each case the post bet numbers are the same, the bot reports them as such.

ben_vulpes: although jurov if i use svg that implies animations too

ben_vulpes: but that's going to have to wait for after the image stuff gets wired in.
ben_vulpes: account page will now show ads that advertisers have created, and allow them to run those ads on a specific venue. ad size will have to match venue size.
ben_vulpes: let me bounce this off you and see what you think
jurov: and, may i ask you to support svg?
