cazalla: nfi, prob how koreans kill them or something
mircea_popescu: is this like fake dog snuff ?
cazalla: well, it's was dead long before the gif was made so what's it matter
mircea_popescu: why is the dog's tail shaking
kuzetsa: I don't even like dogs, it still upset me though :(
kuzetsa: I didn't expect it to be a giffed doge snuff film thinger like that, whoa :(
kuzetsa: cazalla: wow, that's kinda sick O_O
mircea_popescu: actually, this suggests a bet to me.
mircea_popescu: long way to 99.9855
fluffypony: after the recent decline
mircea_popescu: it's not dead just because it lost the 100:1 thing
RagnarDanneskjol: I get it, you can keep her chained in the basement tho
RagnarDanneskjol: lemme know if you want a search run for someone to pick up the slack on those constant admin time costs - just let me know what measurwments you need, blonde or brunette
kuzetsa: I just wasn't aware that was going on

mircea_popescu: ;;google wash trading
mircea_popescu: so nothing to be particularly surprised about.
kuzetsa: wash trading?
mircea_popescu: kyuupichan the eth scammers pretty much admitted it was all wash trading in some blogpost recently
kuzetsa: I can't recall ever having seen bitcoin exchange rates this stable for so long before
kuzetsa: short term fluctuations on a few exchanges, but the weekly changes have been less than $20usd for a while now from what I've noticed
mircea_popescu: kyuupichan just a lot of talk around it so far.
kyuupichan: mircea_popescu: Anyone take you up on your Ether offer?

mircea_popescu: so you'll have to somehow come to terms with a one-off sort of contract. i'm not chaining conditionals.
mircea_popescu: im not looking for an opportunity to play the businessman. i'm sick and tired of the actual work of it.
mircea_popescu: antonosika the idea here is that the constant admin costs aren't worth it to me.
antonosika: Would it be possible to have 2016 delivery but delivery march 2015 provided a few requirements?
antonosika: mircea_popescu I could do that but I don't see the reason. A contract where one party has a chance to recieve nothing is a large and unnecessary risk
kyuupichan: If BTC drops it might tempt more into the BRK.A bet, which could be good.
kyuupichan: Don't care so much there :)
assbot: BitBet - Bitcoin to drop under $300 before December :: 1.03 B (25%) on Yes, 3.1 B (75%) on No | closing in 2 months 2 weeks | weight: 98`791 (100`000 to 1)
mircea_popescu: kyuupichan what if it goes to 300 or w/e
mircea_popescu: pick a date you can live with and that's that.
antonosika: Well that's higher risk too. The issue would be being paid 1 Satoshi if delayed. Why not just change it to a second contract with delivery 2016 if delay?
kyuupichan: BRK.A about 348 BTC. Has to go under 314 BTC by March or I'm fscked.
mircea_popescu: antonosika if you want 2016 delivery we can just do that.
mircea_popescu: <kyuupichan> pankkake: Likely for good this time << prolly.
RagnarDanneskjol: I mean edited it then they change it back

assbot: Welcome to DigitalTangible
mircea_popescu: make two random series, fit them, you'll get something more or less like that
mircea_popescu: only a mind that never played with statistics can think there's something in there.
RagnarDanneskjol: i thought the same thing, chart doesnt support anything
RagnarDanneskjol: before leveling off in April could be noise, or the effects of this relationship changing.
RagnarDanneskjol: Something within the composition of the relationship between gold and VIX has changed in this timeframe. For the past two years, it has been a largely negative correlated relationship amassing around -0.4 to -0.3. However, come summer of 2013, there has been a dramatic reversal of this trend, pushing it into unprecedented territories of a positive correlation upwards of +0.5. The large swings following summer of 2013
RagnarDanneskjol: only interesting bit i found was this:

mircea_popescu: fucking hell these idiots.
mircea_popescu: results of social pressures and generational conditioning are dictated by human nature or that human nature guides human behavior under these extraordinarily distorted circumstances.
mircea_popescu: Humans are highly adaptive creatures and incredibly ingenious when it comes to modifying our behavior in the face of externally or internally applied pressure and circumstance. ‘Normal’ is a relative term, not some static measurement, and both the body and mind quickly becomes accustomed to the ‘new’ normal when choices appear to be limited and the herd moves to a new grazing field. But this doesn’t mean the
mod6: the atc gotw is about to come to a screeching halt. lol

mircea_popescu: nah you just need to insert a return symbol.
punkman: so hey guys, if you write a book, footnotes go at the end of each page
punkman: you know what's really annoying? clicking on a footnote, jumping to end of book, then not being able to go back to the footnote reference
mircea_popescu: (this is what i'm going to call people that are right from now on. if leah derpman can make nonsensical statement then chase it with "saying it doesn't make it so" @ som eunfortunate soul that tried to point out she's talking out her butt, why can't i!)
mircea_popescu: it sucks being such a religious leader all the god damned time.
mircea_popescu: punkman so this is yet another case of "mp makes definite statements on no basis ; later they turn out to be true." ?
pete_dushenski: like this lovely lady http://pix.avaxnews.com/avaxnews/19/3f/00003f19_medium.jpeg
punkman: well I've been looking for all that data in the book but I only found copy-pasted charts of dubious provenance and footnote links of dubious provenance. Not even a single link to organofcorti.
mircea_popescu: you can tell her we're just virulently adverse to unselfaware idiocy
pete_dushenski: the best one has my brother and i playing golf in the shadow of the pyramids
assbot: If /hashtag/bitcoin?src=hash is antifragile, as is often claimed, why are many of its holders so virulently adverse to competition?
mircea_popescu: yes it was at teh pyramids.
RagnarDanneskjol: horseback still my fav - was that photoshopped or really @ pyramids?
mircea_popescu: it;'s really quite old. about amonth or so apart from the world famous horseback one.
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski got teeth ? :D
mircea_popescu: guy that made the first pwn2own thing went nuts making insane claims. exactly what impotent bureaucracies trying to pass for dangerous spooks would like to hear.
pete_dushenski: disinfo can be just as sticky, if not stickier, than info
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski they keep rewarming this stale voodoo.

pete_dushenski: also, that's quite the new header on trilema
assbot: #BadBios, aka #BadlyDoneDamageControl pe Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
punkman: wasn't that one debunked
pete_dushenski: "the odd behavior affected not just Macs but also Windows and Linux systems, and only ceased when the microphone, external speaker, and speaker attached to the motherboard were removed."
pete_dushenski: "The weirdest part is how it uses ultrasonic sound to jump air gaps," - Schneier
mircea_popescu: one needs a whole lot of various crap to keep the fiat boat afloat.
mircea_popescu: i doubt the ideological needs of pierce's masters can so readily be summed up.
punkman: I think these two sum up his preconceptions
punkman: "the security of digitized fiat currencies are arguably just as secure (via cryptography) as cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin; no one steals money off Fedwire or Visa’s system, it is the edges of the network that are the most vulnerable"
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes o you trying to have a watcher in place ?
ben_vulpes: i'd wished to put the time to better use.
mircea_popescu: punkman let me know if you get to something noteworthy.
punkman: "as detailed in chapter 9, having 100% full reserve  is not a feature, it is a bug that holds and prevents the network from reproducing or creating an actual banking system."
punkman: I am subjecting myself to Swanson's book
mircea_popescu: any way you turn it this is minor kitchenwork.
