davout: i
think
that in essence, bitbet and
the rota have a lot in common
davout: chetty mircea_popescu no because if you do only plastic pipes you can't be forced
to install lead pipes
mircea_popescu: or like a computer refusing
to multiply anything by 548791114
chetty: ah but
that would be like refusing
to bake a gay wedding cake, not allowed
mircea_popescu: the plumber quitting his plumbing has zero impact.
the plumbing company wil still do
the plumbing.
davout: no,
that would
translate
to quit being a plumber, not refuse
to serve a particular client because you don't have
the correct
tools or qualifications
Mats_cd03: a jury
that can nullify judgments
then
davout: yes,
the guy who does
the plumbing can perfectly
throw his hands in
the air, refund you, and
tell you
that in fact he doesn't do lead pipes
mircea_popescu: random fuckwit
that can't afford a 400 dollar swimsuit isn't free
to "change
the way society regards women"
mircea_popescu: army captain ordered
to hold a position isn't allowed
to change
the regimental deployment
mircea_popescu: the guy you hire
to do your plumbing isn't allowed
to recommend you buy a different house
mircea_popescu: but you understand
the general principle of limited review ? such
that a judge isn't at liberty
to vacate
the law for instance.
☟︎ davout: i mean why? say i'm making
this bet about
this music note being
this or
that, and poof, i become deaf
davout: fair enough :-) i'm
thinking
that "not his place
to realise such a
thing." is side-stepping
the issue, and also not
Naphex: from
their PoV anyone who gives a shit about privacy will be an extremist
mircea_popescu: that's ok, i consider nsa employees child molesters.
they're going
to jail.
Naphex: most people in
those categories are concerned about privacy
assbot: NSA Considers Linux Journal Readers,
Tor (And Linux?) Users "Extremists" - Slashdot
davout: mircea_popescu: well, what if he genuinely realizes it wasn't correct
to assume he'd ever be able
to measure salinity? whether he has
the certainty
that salinity > 0 being irrelevant given
the bet conditions
mircea_popescu: should he discover salinity doesn't exist,
then it gets cancelled.
jborkl: building
the database,
the block chain will be searchable by
txid,
txcount by block, address, amount and UNIX
assbot: BitBet - Argentina beats Belgium :: 10.06 B (100%) on Yes, 0 B (0%) on No | closing in 2 days 3 hours | weight: 99`770 (100`000
to 10`000)
davout: what if
the bet mod realizes he has no way
to measure salinity N
mircea_popescu: but if
they don't agree if it's salty or sweet,
the bet as
to which is is ain't getting cancelled.
mircea_popescu: if one group is like "sea is deep" and
the other "no, it's salty" idem
mircea_popescu: if you got a group saying "the sea is blue" and another "the sky is azure"
this isn't a legitimate dispute.
they're not
talking of
the same
thing.
davout: a dispute about
the auction price being >x or <x ?
mircea_popescu: that as long as
there's a dispute, a bet doesn't get cancelled.
davout: sure,
that's why i didn't bet :-)
davout: based on
the fact
that you have no reliable source for
the auction price
davout: i
think
that a reasonable case can be made for cancellation
mircea_popescu: well no,
the guy
that was requesting
the bet be cancelled.
davout: the guy
that was requesting support ?
mircea_popescu: davout sure. but how does
that help
the arguer's position ?
davout: i
think my broader point is
that since you don't know what you don't know, it makes sense
to define a way
to clarify propositions along
the way, lest you end up with some rota v2
pankkake: another bitcoin-qt segfault. gotta learn
to not click on it
too soon
pankkake: i.e. what if buttcoin-central is renamed
to gaymium
mike_c: doesn't help
to add a 10 page rider
to every bet
pankkake: I
think davout refers
to another bet
mike_c: what clarity is missing? when
the bet will resolve? obviously it will resolve when
the price is known. if it becomes clear
the price will never be known, BB mods will do something appropriate.
davout: but
then
there's also
the question of "where does
the lack of clarity stop, and
the guy's expectations start"
davout: if you argue
that
the resolution of bitbets can afford lack of clarity by comparing it
to
the way
the woman of your example lacks clarity you should go all
the way
Mats_cd03: benkay: everyone i know with
the coiled rattlesnake and/or 'don't
tread on me' is ex mil
davout: mircea_popescu: "pankkake but whatever he
thought
then, right ? i mean suppose a girl invites him over and he
THINKS it's for
to fuck." <<< if you reason like
this,
then you should rename it
to bitchbet
assbot: BitBet - Krautzes send France home :: 1 B (100%) on Yes, 0 B (0%) on No | closing in 1 day 4 hours | weight: 99`949 (100`000

davout: i hear
they send winners spider drawings instead of money
mircea_popescu: Also, newsflash, I can call
this rock
that I am about
to
throw a 'club', yet it wont feel like one when it hits your face.

gribble: You rated user ognasty on Fri Jun 13 17:07:59 2014, with a rating of -1, and supplied
these additional notes: pirate shill ; currently running a security
that made a 60% loss over
two years. a fine example of
the scum
that unwarrantedly imagines itself somehow part of Bitcoin..
mircea_popescu: lmao
that fuckwit seriously has
the gall
to argue4
that stealing people's bitcoins over
time is okay ?
mircea_popescu: You mean
the same accounting
that is used by every single financial regulatory agency in
the world?
kakobrekla: >(gold, real estate, bread, hookers, all would be better measures of value over
time
than Bitcoin)
mircea_popescu: "We American women
think of
the swarthy
type as a dark-skinned (not black), exotic, intense
type of man."
benkay: hey
thestringpuller lets get you inked
benkay: "In short, Italian men are swarthy. And when someone says
that, it's usually not with a shudder, but a shiver.
benkay: my skin's not dark enough for
that
to look at all good
benkay: probably just
the snake.
benkay: i
think i'm going
to get a "don't
tread on me"
tattoo

kakobrekla: different

Dalrymple: I met one person who would look for gullibles and offer
to loan
them some equipment and oversee
their grow, it meant he'd get a cut and it wouldn't
take place on his property, also he knew
the connects
to sell it in bulk
Dalrymple: It's not something I'd ever want
to do, and
the people who do it often get violently extorted if
they aren't caught by
the police
kakobrekla: and
they dont give fuck for losing a few kw
