BingoBoingo: That was one of
the better small pots. Seems
there was no reason
to put any money on "No"
though
mircea_popescu: anyway, by not simplifying
the fractions i
think we'll be doing a lot
to ease brits into sanity.
mike_c: given
that I have been more exposed
to american odds
than anything else, I don't
think I am biased when I say decimal odds are by far
the best method.
mircea_popescu: ;;later
tell kakobrekla except if it's over 2,
then it's (decimal-1)/100, so 2.41177082 BTC (~141/100 ; +141.17)
mircea_popescu: ;;later
tell kakobrekla apparently also moneyline ( moneyline = (-100) / (decimal -1) , so 1.46984385 BTC (~47/100 ; −212.83)
mike_c: who
the hell can understand american odds
BingoBoingo: mike_c: You don't even use
those, you use decimal odds!
mircea_popescu: ;;later
tell kakobrekla hey let's improve
the odds calculator for bitbet. Calculator: placing a winning BTC bet on:Yes pays: 1.46984385 BTC No pays: 2.41177082 BTC should read : Yes pays: 1.46984385 BTC (~47/100) No pays: 2.41177082 BTC (~141/100). it's fucktarded, but some people are used
to it.
mircea_popescu: who
the fuck asked fiat bankers what
they
think on any
topic ? what's next, asking
the primitive
tribes in africa about interspatial flight ?
mircea_popescu: i wonder how long
till
the hos figure out
the prize for bitching is beating, and
they really wanna line up in here ready
to suck us off.
kyuupichan: I'm well up on diff bets. Got utterly fucked on
the Gox 1st March bet
tho.
mircea_popescu: look
through
the logs. it keeps looking
that way, but
then... nope.
mircea_popescu: trinque you can't encrypt "from within" in
that context i dont
think
kyuupichan: Every 60 blocks, apart from
the first one, since
the diff increase has been slower
than 10hrs. Some hashpower is gonna have
to appear soon
to make it up and stop a fall.

there some easy
to use plugin?
punkman: jurov, but we can do it in
the browser!!!111!
jurov: yeah
that won't even help if
they chat via fb website
trinque: so if some white knight wanted
to get
them
to encrypt
their chats he'd have
to do so from within
trinque: mircea_popescu: my
thought is
that
the plebs use facebook and aren't likely
to switch
jurov: dunno if i find anything like
today
jurov: that
took 5 years of abuse
jurov: had adidas buckskin sneakers with
thin and flexible soles
jurov is on lookout for new shoes

benkay: i
think
they're great. get intimate with
the street etc.
punkman: they had a waterproof boot version back in
the day

the open ones,
they were pretty airy
benkay: who knows if
their fancy variants are as well, or if
they've solved
the 'breathing' problem.
benkay: another bullshit
thing about
thevibrams is
that
they're essentially a heat-sealed plastic bag for your feet.
benkay: i was hoping for magic fingers,
tbqh
mircea_popescu: provided
they have nude colors rather
than clown palette
mircea_popescu: punkman

the girls go barefoot everwhere and odd duality.

to know exactly what shoes i want.
benkay: provided you don't mind prancing around on your
toes,
that is. heel striking is only viable when you've got padding under your heel.
mircea_popescu: it'd drive me fucking nuts
to have shit between my
toes.
benkay: you should see
the nerds all bedecked
davout: and
that everyone should be entitled
to free money every month
davout: basically
the idea behind eurofranc is

that spend
the next decade whoring.
mircea_popescu: there are also numerous cases of ex drug lords
turned into reddit feminists by being held captive in a san francisco commune for
two weeks.
trinque: mircea_popescu:
thugs hate radical acceptance and
trust
mircea_popescu: check
that out, hippy chicks propose
they drove out
the
thugs
mircea_popescu: "When Million Fishes started at
the corner of 23rd and Bryant in 2003,
the gallery windows were boarded shut and drugs were sold on
the street outside. When
the gallery became a live space, it made
the street less attractive for drug dealing, but it also helped usher in
the wave of gentrification
that has now overtaken us."
mircea_popescu: "We’d like
to
thank our wonderful community of nearly 10 years for helping us co-create a space
that showcased
the immeasurable
talent, passion, and diversity of San Francisco’s artists, activists, makers,
thinkers, and dreamers. We hope
that
this vision of shared responsibility and radical inclusion extends beyond
the life of
the organization."
