mike_c: same
as if google sold itself and you owned shares. nobody cares what you want.
Namworld: Same
as if someone thought someone running gunstalk, goldtalk, sportstalk or whatever kind of forum was the official worldwide representative of guns, gold or sports respectively.
Namworld: It claims to be a Bitcoin forum like the foundation says Bitcoin Foundation. That people perceive them
as official or not, I don't care.
Namworld:
As such, my point is
as valid
as if the forum was called theymosandcotalk.org
Namworld: No. But
as admin I get to determine what is and what isn't acceptable. Even if the nuance is subtle.
Namworld: Insult
as randomly calling people words and swearing at them, not people "feeling" insulted.
Namworld: Insult = ban, explanation
as to why someone shouldn't be trusted/their offer is bad, okay
as long
as polite.
Namworld: I'd probably have left him there, yes. Let people rate each other/sort scammers out/investigate offers. It's trivial to make new accounts anyway. Scammers might
as well keep their account with psts but also tainted reputation.
mircea_popescu: Namworld yeah except if you ban people that tell you to get fucked after you deleted a half dozen posts they made ostensibly because "you have to minimise the visibility of moderation" but really because you just
as well didn't want their content visible
Namworld: So, well... yeah, I'm not surprised. Those kind of people will be around
as long
as it works.
mircea_popescu: i don't think the average us person realises exactly how fucked they are. and the "well everyone else is just
as fucked" thinkin doesn't really work.
ThickAsThieves: k i added the link
as-is for now with suggestion for rewrite
VanCleef: and
as i said earlier will probably close down sometime this year
benkay:
as designed, sure, not really a good idea to set people up to do a runner.
danielpbarron: i don't need to read the logs to understand you are collectivizing all bitcoin users
as if they all have the same goals
mircea_popescu: so : last month bitbet made 3.68215306 btc, which should have gone
as follows : 1.104645918 should have gone to the public shareholders, 1.288753571 to kako and 1.288753571 to me.
benkay: asciilifeform:just about every interesting technology attributed to a mega-organization was done on 'stolen time.' << yeah,
as always, asciilifeform has it
Mats_cd03: seriously what is this 19:50:13 mircea_popescu: tumbler, an great bitbet but use how properly this so a much is in purpose, moreover isn't for to trivial how designed is on showing this anyway, it
as any service exercise
mircea_popescu: anyone bored could make a tool to add up the balances in publicly displayed addies
as an open audit thing
mircea_popescu: for my numerous crimes of having known about various future pops months/weeks in advance, i shall henceforth be known
as mp_goldstein
nubbins`:
as someone who grew up with these words being spelled "ah" and "oh", respectively, this always struck me
as quaint
locksmith: all this are rumours of course, just to keep us entertained
as the tower crumbles.
mircea_popescu: antephialtic i dunno that scam was ever seriously argued other than
as a technicality.
locksmith: I'm an uninvolved observer
as well but have 2 individual sources within Neo. the hard truth is that for the past week the employees could not get ahold of DB, and their paychecks will probably not be met for the month of March (they haven't been paid yet from what I know)
mircea_popescu: havelock is under a lot of pressure because all their scammy assets are turning into a visible loss, so rather than man up to it they prefer to simply close trading
as the bubbles pop.
mircea_popescu: antephialtic my own theory,
as a completely uninvolved observer, is this :
locksmith: they're saying that them (newsit.com,cy)
as well
as Politis newspaper tried to contact the company and could not get ahodl of them
locksmith: just read the article
as well, I can translate it for anyone interested
antephialtic: and
as a form of social engineering to make the capital markets more stable
antephialtic:
as you said, its to incentivize long term investment over short term speculation
moiety: ThickAsThieves: i thought
as much because of the emails and the fact all the amounts were so stupidly high
nubbins`: antephialtic:
as someone who's into g.g. marquez, i don't mind sentimentalism or surrealism ;D
nubbins`: you don't HAVE TO write your critics into subsequent novels
as micro-dick diddlers either :D
nubbins`: "In March 2006, [journalist Michael] Crowley wrote a strongly critical review of State of Fear, focusing on Crichton's stance on global warming. In the same year, Crichton published the novel Next, which contains a minor character named "Mick Crowley", who is a Yale graduate and a Washington D.C.based political columnist. The character was portrayed
as a child molester with a small penis. The
nubbins`: "Most climate scientists dispute Crichton's science
as being error-filled and distorted,[1][2][3][4][5][6] and it was described
as "pure porn for global warming deniers" by one skeptical science journalist. [7]"
jurov:
as long
as the problem don't cause mass migrations, it's fine
antephialtic: yeah I suppose they could have just used the emails to google for the names and then released that
as a "partial dump"
mircea_popescu:
as someone said, when therer's a cockroach in plain sight, that's never the only cockroach around.
antephialtic: they had a security issue that allowed user accounts to be enumerated, and I suspect that is the problem, that scammers are trying to combine that with fake info and sell
as a real dump
nubbins`: one of the biggest mistakes ever was referring to man-made climate change
as such
jadne: hardly even counts
as trying
moiety: cant be
as good
as here MisterE
MisterE:
as fiat was an improvement over exchanging chickens and goats I guess
mircea_popescu: im sure when law was writing it wasn't directly obvious that the thing'll end up
as a welfare scam either.
mircea_popescu: the problem with paper money run by a government is exactly the same
as the problem with a bitcoin run by government.
decimation: asciilifeform: Wong would mock those who use microscopes
as hammers; his sophistocated set only use bespoke polished turds
diametric:
as of august 2012 if I remember correctly
antephialtic: regardless of your thoughts on welfare, with regards to science their are many avenues of basic research that cannot be justified from a pure ROI standpoint yet have long term benefits to technological advancement. Such
as the development of pure mathematics, etcetra
antephialtic: I don't think cryptocoins will make the world any more egalitarian. Probably less so,
as their widespread use would deny the state a lot of tax revenue
antephialtic: but with bitcoin it would be a lot more dangerous
as many merchants would get scammed while their were still multiple viable forks
mircea_popescu: there's a deep understanding of what humanity is all about, that someone
as fucking weird
as dostoievski could exhibit nevertheless
antephialtic: a friend of mine works in the same building
as stallman. says he does all kinds of weird shit in the office
artifexd:
As it is not provably you, I can only accept your word and sit back down, corrected and humble.
antephialtic: mircea_popescu: the clueless are redeemable so long
as they educate themselves. the stupid are not capable of contributing useless discussion and should be left to rot on reddit
nubbins`: is it
as depressing
as the bicycle thieves?
pankkake: yet stalking people is ok,
as another mod told me
mike_c: mircea_popescu: same
as silicon valley :)
mircea_popescu: "Even if Neo ends up failing and Cyprus central bankers win this battle, they've managed to change the world forever. The Bitcoin awareness in Cyprus will not go away even if Neo fails and that counts for something. I know I was part of that
as an investor and helped build that to some extent. On the other hand MPEx will go down in history
as the clown who badmouthed the competition and riding some donkey in Egypt."
bounce: you'd like
as not turn out overqualified
Jason: blackwhite:
as I remember it, in 2013 they didn't have phone support?
Jason: blackwhite:
as I mentioned, support is ignoring me. do you have any suggestions?
Mats_cd03: the two are meant to work together
as envisioned by the usaf
pLambert: guesses
as to whether it will repeat a third time?
mircea_popescu: Specifically, our bargaining chip against Beijing is to make things uncomfortably apocalyptic. The point is less what the carrier can do and more what an attack on it promises—full retaliation, and a war that may quickly get out of hand.
As ASPI analyst Harry White observed last month [11], “the idea is that anyone who attacks
as valuable an asset
as a US carrier should expect a significant response.” Internation
mircea_popescu: Like the US garrison in West Berlin, aircraft carriers are relatively defenseless, but they have a separate function
as a highly visible warning about US resolve. Today, a strategy of mobile “tripwires” is neither credible nor prudent, but it is worth studying because it may actually be implemented.
mircea_popescu:
as a selling point it's perhaps innovative. surely beats ken slaughter's garage.
Mats_cd03: its certainly not
as efficient
as the chinook
ThickAsThieves: “And because we don’t know all the algorithms, because we don’t know the end factorial and all of the different ways they may interact, there are negative consequences that occur
as a result. That introduces a market risk. That market risk has an unquantifiable cost. We saw it in one instance with the flash crash. We see it every day with little mini-flash crashes.”
bounce: yeah no, I don't think it's straight up incentive, or at least not
as strong
as implied
as there's strong pull the other way too. eg gangs don't extinguish themselves
bounce: it'll be inferior to the harrier, like
as not.
pLambert: And he thinks we should spend just
as much, even though we are not actually fighting anybody?
the20year2: Granted, in my personal opinion (
As controversial
as it is), it's like every other government program, cutting things that are important, expanding things that buy votes
joecool: to gain exposure, it's just not
as big
as hoped for
mircea_popescu: this allows them to buy everything very cheap and sell it
as expensive
as they want.
benkay: another thing is,
as i said to my colleague recently re a contractor: "ain't nobody motivated by money in the bank."
mircea_popescu: kanzure i was just writing about one

mircea_popescu: “Switch just two people— the battalion commander and command sergeant major—from the best battalion with those of the worst, and within ninety days the relative effectiveness of the battalions will have switched
as well,” I’d say. I still believe I was correct.
ozbot: Edison Echoed

ThickAsThieves: when i read the forums i cant help but think some % is accepting these people
