punkman: ahaha just figured it out, it's from
the government's "social solidarity fund", no idea why I qualify for
that shit
BigBitz: punkman I
think I sent it by accident, please send it
to my Nigerian Uncle. He is a Prince.
Totally legit.
punkman: also found 700eur in my bank account
today, no idea who sent it. what is happening ?!
punkman: not yet, but
there's a small amount coming soon, and I don't like
to leave a balance with
them
punkman: at least
they admit
their shit is broken: "We are aware of a number of customers who are currently unable
to add
their bank accounts
to PayPal."
punkman: "I would advise
that you contact your bank
to ensure your IBAN number is correct. Please mention
that you are
trying
to add your bank account
to your PayPal account. In some cases you might receive a slightly modified version of your IBAN from your bank."
BingoBoingo: Well, FOIA has been refused before for other
things, but...
BigBitz: well
they can't refuse FOIA as it's .gov, right?
BingoBoingo: Hard
to say. I guess we'll find out
the price paid for certain if
the FOIA act requests go
through.
BigBitz: Interesting... wonder has
this fuelled
the uptrend
that emerged from
the $555 low yesterday.
BigBitz: That dude paid $666 each
then for
the SR bitcoins? :o
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu:
The dickstabbers would bet and
then wonder how
they can lose money on
the winning side.
BingoBoingo: Thankfully
the bet is closed so
there isn't a bunch of late betting before
the FOIA requests go
through
neuroCreep: Who
thought ring signatures werent enough.
mircea_popescu: i guess either
the guy accidentally let it slip and
threatened
them
to sue, or else it was dumbass copy and
the editor fixed it.
cazalla: it's still in google if you search
the quote
though
assbot: Six Californias: A

thought what happened might happened

mircea_popescu: " In June, U.S. Marshals auctioned off Bitcoins seized from Silk Road,
the online market for illegal goods and services. Draper bought
the lot for $20 million, beating out 44 other bidders."
fluffypony: there once was a neuro named Mode, who swallowed a rather large
toad, with Myriads of coins, all girding his loins, he would ribbited, cackled, and crowed!

[]bot: Bet placed: 1.1 BTC for No on "Bitcoin

mircea_popescu: it's also mildly useful for crooked hedge fund mangers
to explain
to
their half smart moneyed audience why exactly it is
that i can make any % i want and
they can only make a %
that's
two digits no matter what happens.
mircea_popescu: anyway, for
the record, "volatility drag" is an artefact of
the poor public school system in
the us.
the only reason it exists is
that people do arithmetic rather
than geometric %s. in other words,
they don't compound.
peeta: ok,
thanks for hearing my ramblings... I'll go sleep and mull
this over and hopefully come back with fresher
thoughts... goodbye :)
peeta: sorry if I'm just blurting
this out without much preamble
peeta: who am I? honestly just someone wanting
to learn... but I have no one
to bounce ideas with
peeta: soon after nakowa
the max profit % went from 1%
to 0.5%
peeta: ok, so it all hinges on
the max profit %... if it was anything above 2% a blowup was likely because
the volatility drag would be over
the expected earnings
mircea_popescu: events aren't really
to be explained is
the
thing. what are you goint
to explain ?
peeta: so, I know you were supportive of Just-Dice at
the beginning... I'm guessing you followed
the nakowa saga?
peeta: ok, changing
topic... I recently learned about volatility drag for
the first
time... I'm assuming you're familiar with it?
peeta: ok, yeah,
that's what I was asking.. "actively" being my clumsy way of asking if you had more
than vague, general misgivings or just no reason
to
trust it
mircea_popescu: i've not put out a scam
tag on it if
that's what you';re asking.
peeta: so are you getting a
Trezor Mircea?

mircea_popescu: A savvy young hooker named Gail got busted and lodged in
the jail. But
the jailer got hot
to be lodged in her
twat, and so Gail made
the bail with her
tail.
mircea_popescu: decimation re bloomberg, damn anti-intellectualism is (still) going strong in
that country.
decimation: "Economic Modeling Specialists Intl. recently estimated
that
twice as many law graduates pass
the bar exam as
there are job openings for
them. In other words, every year U.S. law schools churn out about 25,000 ?surplus? lawyers, many of whom are in debt. A large number of
them go
to law school with an ambition
to enter politics someday. "
decimation: any wannabe lawyer who finds
the bar exam
to be
too difficult
to pass doesn't deserve
to be a lawyer
mircea_popescu: they may cry, but it wouldn't be over
the internets not uploading, srsly.
mircea_popescu: Sergio Antonio (@SergiConte) July 30, 2014 fuck you @examsoft i've been crying for
two hours. i'm not even fucking kidding right now
this is
the worst night of my life. <<< supposedly adult us male.
mircea_popescu: because yeah,
that's
the right
thing
to do when mp says you';re stupid, come out with an "there have been some implications
that we're stupid from some people
that don't understand us"
mircea_popescu: then various
twerps derp about "upholding contracts" in mises.org, and when i call
them
too smart by half
they nervously BUT ANONYMOUSLY address it
☟︎ BingoBoingo: Still software
that fails at
transmitting plaintext
mircea_popescu: they wish
they had it,
they like
to pretend like
they have it, but
they don't actually.
mircea_popescu: im impressed with
their not being quite ready
to go home yet. various other
twerps with delusions of historical importance (france, say) don't have it.
mircea_popescu: decimation> I can see why default is
the most attractive option here << it is quite as
the local elite presents it, a matter of "fuck you or else we might as well go home."
assbot: Bar Exam
Tech Disaster Inspires Lawsuit
Threats, Operatic Profanity
decimation: I can see why default is
the most attractive option here
decimation: so
the Fed "prints" dollars, loans
them
to New York Banks,
the banks loan
the printed dollars
to Argentina, Argentina wants a better deal, Argentina decides not
to pay, and now
the Supreme court 'upholds'
that
the US court finds
that Argentina must repay
the printed dollars loaned
to
the banks loaned
to Argentina?

nam-shub: does anyone want a link
to MP's piece on Argentinian Default?
assbot: This is how you ERASE
the BS
TRUST on
this forum
BingoBoingo: nam-shub: It was attempting
to MM BTC/RON currency pair. Profitable safe enough opportunities were
too rare and ATC was
too promising
to keep resource allocation as it was.
nam-shub: whats
