mircea_popescu: which is why things such
as got milk are so motherfucking important
mircea_popescu: in other news, i've been around long enough to know him
as namjies. which is what your noob'd know him
as too, if he actually HAD been around for
as long
as he claims.
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> there is no 'cloud.' only - other people's hard disks. << you have to appreciate the infantile worldview. there is no "my house"
as far
as teenagers go, just the place other people pay the mortgage on. nevertheless...
Apocalyptic: mod6, seen, that's why 0
as high/low/vwap is misleading
benkay: (it's little because i am
as well)
BingoBoingo chose telephone poles
as the structural elements
BingoBoingo remembers designing and building an actual bridge
as a sort of final project in the Boy Scouts
ozbot:
As Wall Street Looks to Copy Bitcoin, The Department of Defense Studies it
as a “Terrorist Threatâ
Naphex: showing girls your btc wallet might not go
as nicely
as a pocket full of cash :))
☟︎ mircea_popescu: obviously they're making it just enough of a not-priority so
as to miss out, that's part and parcel of how governments work.
bounce: (re sec thingy on investor.gov) -- relatedly, why would you require investors to be "accredited" other than
as an old boys network protectionist measure?
mircea_popescu: "This INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") is made and entered into
as of August 14, 2012, by and among Bitpantry, an unregistered corporation ; Ryan "aethero" Schreiber (GPG fingerprint 305C FB53 7F95 EB20 34A2 E72F 6B5A 5086 B24E D539), an individual ; Stormy "lucidlepidoptera" Schreiber (bitcoin address 1J96JXdfY3CYKeqiDASgnaKjLqumfqfSdG), an individual and MPEx"
decimation: I guess if they won't work
as free employees they can always "have problems" and then work
as zeks
decimation: "The G Fund holds approximately 37 percent of all TSP balances held by the 4.6 million TSP participants.
As most readers know, the TSP is similar to a 401(k) retirement fund for about 4.6 million current and former government employees and uniformed service members. To make up for the deficit spending by the government, the Treasury has ?suspended reinvestment? or taken assets out of the G Fund to pay for other expenses."
decimation: the IRS "safe harbor" rule is that
as long
as you "pay" your janitor 3% in his 401k, you can offer any amount you wish to anyone else in your company
decimation: "This exchange, IEX, (it was originally to be called ?Investors Exchange?, but the founders realised that the obvious Internet domain name, investorsexchange.com, could be infelicitously parsed into three words
as well
as two), would include technological constraints (including 38 miles of fibre optic cable in a box to create latency between the point of presence where traders could attach and the servers which matched bids and asks) which
artifexd:
As I understand it, to self up one must be in assbot's l2 (or higher).
mircea_popescu: the internet is, practically speaking, a collection of frogs and cicadas arguing
as to which one set is the true operatic singer.
BingoBoingo: I kind of want to see it locked into that ratio with doge
as it crashes
ryepdx: Hiro2: Not sure if this went through the first time,
as I'm having connectivity issues. The reason (AFAIK) was to raise capital to produce their next-gen miners and chips. The next round of dividends are projected to come out on May 27th, at which point they'll be moving to a monthly dividend schedule. Source:

as electric burns of the mucosa.
pankkake:
as far
as I know, there's not enough revenue to
mircea_popescu: I've talked with Unisys by voice and E-mail, and the voice discussion was entirely unsatisfactory
as I posted when it happened - basically the Unisys guy said anyone who sells code for $100-$300 a pop was a total _____ for selling it that cheap.
ThickAsThieves: basically the WoT is to be thought of
as the very incentive itself
Apocalyptic: it's already rate-limited
as commands to gribble
ThickAsThieves: discounting
as a method is always a poor method of marketing
HeySteve: well, I was discussing the failings of democracy elsewhere
as it's SA election day today
Naphex: WoT was around before gribble
as well
mircea_popescu: if no wot identity is involved, the thing's irrelevant economically, might
as well be two somalis trading cowries
mircea_popescu: force them to wot
as part and parcel of doing business with them, know that their refusal to comply means they're scammers.
chetty: I suppose the whole internet functions
as a punishment gazette
HeySteve: the question then becomes who would hold the keys to the placeholder identity? seeing
as that identity will also be able to rate people. so what happens if "PayPal" downvotes you?
HeySteve: it may be best to think of them
as placeholder ratings which the entities can later assume once validated
HeySteve: but there are problems :) they'd have to be clearly identified
as proxies
fluffypony: sometimes there are things in there
as well
mircea_popescu: something not necessarily covered by wot anyway yet,
as some people rated each other in 2011 might have known each other since 2001
mircea_popescu: like above the history phd bit. obviously useless to you,
as youre no historian by trade, but we are a diverse bucnh with diverse needs.
gribble: Nick 'DrewHorne', with hostmask 'DrewHorne!~DrewHorne@215.sub-70-193-130.myvzw.com', is identified
as user 'DrewHorne', with GPG key id None, key fingerprint None, and bitcoin address 1ESdGLk9MR5mAghLAn5R3419tvmj2FvFMB
DrewHorne: thats fine, it was my only option
as a voiceless
mircea_popescu: because you couldn't afford to let a physical tractor go to waste,
as a society.
mircea_popescu: the magnificent assets have any suggestion
as to what i should say to the redditard next ?
mircea_popescu: TheNewDeal: how does it get executed << euro future, settles 15th of each month, can be delivered
as euros on bitcoin central.
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: lol, I read that
as "cautious renters" and I was like "how does this relate to people who rent?"
bitcoinpete: "
As it stands, banks fear being held liable if funds sent through money transmitters reach terrorist organizations or other criminal groups. In one such case, two Somali-American women were found guilty of sending money transfers to the terrorist organization al Shabaab."
Drew: is it
as easy
as /ping benkay
benkay: <Drew> i would like to think that i ended up with a structured thinking process << hang out here and you might be so lucky
as to have one beaten into you
benkay: <Drew> but while buying an idaho bun may taste different than a florida bun, a meyer subwoofer rented from idaho would be the same
as one rented in florida << the tastes and social mores differ wildly across the different regions. f'r instance, you'll have a mighty hard time displacing red cube in portland (but again don't ever do anything in this town)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform now
as far
as programmable gpus go, o boy would computer games love thids
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform not quite to the degree, but god help you if you seem to think there's no such thing
as "thracians",
as distinct from whatever sarmatian cloud
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: So I've heard. I'm just thinking of a local venture that has run into the localization issue hard
as it expanded
Drew: but while buying an idaho bun may taste different than a florida bun, a meyer subwoofer rented from idaho would be the same
as one rented in florida
mircea_popescu: "we have 90-100 events associated with the brand across the country throughout the entire year to build promotion around, using each event
as a social media hub and continuing to expand our presence. This will create the most unified EMC related brand that has existed so far, making it the literal perfect company"
Drew: each area will serve
as its own hotspot
mircea_popescu: this is quite important btw. never forget that the internet exists more
as a mpex contract than anything else.
Drew: they grew more expensive
as the event approached but that was one of the early bird prices
ozbot: BitBet - Bitcoin to surpass Berkshire
as an investment
Drew: which is definitely quantity over quality,
as is evident
Drew: really? i was referred to it
as being one of the top 2000 most trafficked sites on the internet
Drew: so if the bitcoin assets space is definitely almost entirely btc focused, would you say that the bitcointalk space is
as well? I have had a couple of responses even on my posts that were almost entirely flame-ridden
Drew: also
as much
as i appreciate the bitcoin space, it is not my expertise
BingoBoingo: It really depends. You can scroll up to the conversation about making ozbot better
as an example.
benkay: these are all claims
as what require substantiation.
Drew: i would hope that that would separate me from people such
as dank
Drew: well i'm glad i come across
as less psychotic at least
Drew: 8. the effect created by our structure will be to, instead of having one event per year for promotion to be centered around, we have 90-100 events associated with the brand across the country throughout the entire year to build promotion around, using each event
as a social media hub and continuing to expand our presence. This will create the most unified EMC related brand that has existed so far, making it the literal perfect
Drew: 2. -out of the worlds population of 7 billion, 3.6 billion are under the age of 30, and 2 billion are millennials. -Electronic Music is indisputably the music of choice for the 18-34 year old demographic mentioned above -The “Electronic Music Culture”,
as he calls it, is more digitally plugged in and more reliably marketed to in a modern sense than any other genre -The industry is currently very fragmented, and was much mor
Drew: i mean
as far
as if i rejoin and need to get !upped again
kakobrekla: i am,
as in exist, i havent started make the change yet.
mircea_popescu: it's bitbet. kakobrekla can we make individual bet titles read like "BitBet - Bitcoin network difficulty > 14Bn on Bastille day. 85 btc on yes (73%), 30 btc on no (27%), 55 days left (33`212 weight)" instead of just bet title
as is now ?
mircea_popescu: and while i suspect he's not necessarily willing to openly admit
as much, he prolly got my point.
BingoBoingo: Yeah, strikes me
as to young and unpracticed.
mircea_popescu: that's the clear proof that the thing is run
as a lottery, and most everyone involved pays to participate.
ThickAsThieves: (please note that i havent necessarily commited to treating this
as more than a hobby, that's why i'm exploring it on paper first)
mircea_popescu: this market is deader than disco, you might
as well build a time machine to go back to 1982 to buy buffett's textile business.
ThickAsThieves: i have some thoughts i'm fleshing out to address that
as well
mircea_popescu: fluffypony there's not really such a thing
as "authentic" sound.
fluffypony: but based on some trivial readings I believe the major aim is authenticity - what goes on to the master (digital or otherwise) must be
as close to reality
