mircea_popescu: yeah, that.
benkay: yeah, the argument was about buying vs leasing.
mircea_popescu: davout argued it to death when it was first introduced (about 1 year ago, s.mg was iirc the first to an0 report, and i wanted an example)
mircea_popescu: not that i like the electric stuff anyway
benkay: on an entirely different topic, mircea_popescu would you explain the tangibles line in the S.MG report?
mircea_popescu: (it was suspended, sorta pointing towards sink, originally. send the bish to wash dish, get scalded bish randomly)
mircea_popescu: direct circuit boiler. let's hope it doesn't acumulate too much steam o.O
mircea_popescu: so talking of ways one doesn't exactly expect to die : i have a gas boiler here. gas isn't really that commonly used in ba, and i guess they don't really get it. i notice that sometimes when i turn hot water on it sputters. super is like "well ya gotta let steam get out now an' again".
kakobrekla: not a tit but nevertheless
mircea_popescu: Namworld you still involved with that ?
mircea_popescu: Do u have any personal imformation of BVPS owner?They are fraud.They started buy back at a very low price 2 monthes ago,and it's non negotiation.I can get less than 3 btc.I accept that.And they say they will pay before june 30th. But I havent got any payment till today.
kakobrekla: you havent seen those ghetto ops
asciilifeform: what'd they stuff in them, Büchner funnels ?
mircea_popescu: http://girls.twistys.com/preview/totm/07-2014/p01/p/14.jpg < jesus check out that trainwreck of a boobjob
mircea_popescu: it's going to make a bundle for well positioned handlers tho. all this free floating money...
asciilifeform: canvas, the oldest of the pump-altcoins.
terp: its all ready the hippy mecca

terp: i needa buy my tickets
terp: whens the next trip to the moon?
mircea_popescu: !up terp
pankkake: 80mm's okay… I hate the smaller ones
asciilifeform: and sure, there's a fan
asciilifeform: pankkake: you won't find this on a 'consumer' ups because their inverters aren't rated for 24/7 run
pankkake: oh, now that's great
asciilifeform: pankkake: this particular unit has a plug on the back for arbitrary number of cells
pankkake: I'd rather invest in something with a big battery; I want the thing to stay up if I'm not there
asciilifeform: and whether you really need your computer to run
asciilifeform: pankkake: the nice kind (double conv.) runs rectifier and inverter at all times, with the battery sitting in the middle
pankkake: yes, that's what the two I have seem to do. they go to battery sometimes even when there's no visible power cut
asciilifeform: pankkake: the consumer boxes are typically 'switchover' - you're connected directly to the mains, except when the reading drops below mark and the inverter kicks in.
pankkake: well, the cheap ups I got at that time was enough, though it eventually died :)
asciilifeform: pankkake: this is the pill for it. the only voltages that ever come out of a double-conversion ups is zero (dead battery) or the specified (120 here) ac, sinusoidal to 1%
pankkake: I used to live in a place that fried my psus every few months
asciilifeform: pankkake: i moved to a street where the entire place shares a transformer. so, abysmal mains quality.
pankkake: ouch, right. not sure I want to pay 20% extra
asciilifeform: pankkake: this is one of those monsters where the inverter runs constantly. so, around 80% efficient.
pankkake: I have UPSes but only the passive ones
pankkake: asciilifeform: does it tell you how efficient it is?
empyex: FabianB: Traded in last 24 hours: S.MPOE X.EUR
mike_c: <+ThickAsThieves> yep, like GS unloading all their NFLX this week << no no, there's an invisible wall between the trading desk and the rating guys. they have NO IDEA what each other are doing. really, they promise!
gribble: What do you think I am, a shell?
pankkake: https://www.contrepoints.org/2014/06/29/170453-bce-la-subvention-dont-personne-ne-parle found this very interesting, sorry for the French. it explains how the ECB lends money so they can go the "private sector" but does not check/punish if it does not happen
mircea_popescu: argentina;s in a better shape these days.
mircea_popescu: the govt's own banks are desperate for cash tho.
ThickAsThieves: like issuing BUY status and then selling
ThickAsThieves: is that kinda thing regulated?
ThickAsThieves: yep, like GS unloading all their NFLX this week
mircea_popescu: if you're supposed to be rich and the plebs poor, telling them to buy etc also everyone benefits.
pankkake: if I tell women they should swallow, everyone benefits. if I tell they should buy the thing I plan to buy before them, I lose
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves no but he knows you know ? 's not thought it through for two minutes, and yet :D
ThickAsThieves: not entirely true p
mircea_popescu: you'll have to explain this to me.
pankkake: not so for the others
pankkake: there is every reason to withold good trading advice and publish bad trading advice
mircea_popescu: it makes zero sense, but women like to belong, and this is driven into them deeper than reason. so... they listen.
ThickAsThieves: of course maybe thats how they want me to think
ThickAsThieves: and it is nice seeing other firms calling GS scammers the day after
mircea_popescu: pankkake now turn that around. do you understand why anyone'd listen to relationship advice ?
ThickAsThieves: <+mircea_popescu> what are you, dumb or something ? probly, but i dont feel the sting just yet
pankkake: at least, free, public trading advice
pankkake: I don't understand why anyone would listen to trading advice anyway
mircea_popescu: go play the slots.
ThickAsThieves: i decided to just short more
ThickAsThieves: just my first time getting done raw by GS
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves didn't think you were.
ThickAsThieves: The growth in customers accounts, for both Coinbase and competitor Blockchain, continues to grow at a pretty torrid rate. Mr. Armstrong said the company is seeing growth in its user base of about 3-4% a week, and has jumped from 100,000 accounts a year ago to about 1.4 million now.
asciilifeform doesn't make btc hardware, contrary to popular belief in 'fan mail'
asciilifeform: GinAddict1: ah you were thinking of ecdsa/btc
GinAddict1: asciilifeform: nope, still unique each time: http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-pornin-deterministic-dsa-00
mircea_popescu: yeah best way to lose a key is through signing
danielpbarron: oh! and one of the webdevs from the Bitcoin magazine offered to publish an article if i were to write one for them
asciilifeform points out that entropy is a far more dire concern for signing than key generation, interestingly
asciilifeform grunts, adjusts track width for the 601th time.
danielpbarron: but i guess it all rests on entropy generation and that's been a target for longer than Bitcoin has existed
mircea_popescu: it'll be here two weeks ** two weeks.
danielpbarron: I like that all my hardware was built before Bitcoin existed
danielpbarron: GinAddict1, a little of both; it's what I had left over from back when I used to be into computers, and I don't trust new hardware / don't know what's good now
danielpbarron: the guy i accidentally ripped off is in the WoT now, user named GunPlay
danielpbarron: i found a few individuals there who might do the right thing and get in the WoT
asciilifeform: danielpbarron: gpg key signing party; half the users that showed up were running windows << lol!!
mircea_popescu: tell the guy, not me.
danielpbarron: it was at the Porcupine Freedom Festival in Lancaster, New Hampshire, USA
danielpbarron: all the while I was trying to convince them to just use my flash drive or better yet, get in the WoT with gribble
mircea_popescu: where was this ?
danielpbarron: they spent most of the time settng up some portable key server
danielpbarron: i attended the gpg key signing party; half the users that showed up were running windows
assbot: S.NSA, June 2014 Statement pe Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
danielpbarron: he sold me a paper wallet that he had already imported into his phone
danielpbarron: and that's the end of the list of gribble users at porcfest lol
mircea_popescu: you got teh basics
danielpbarron will neither confirm nor deny that guess
danielpbarron: I don't know if that conversation was meant to be private but i'd like him to bring it up in here
danielpbarron: we talked about mpex quite a bit
danielpbarron: I told him i'd give him a +2 for meeting face-to-face
