mircea_popescu: amusingly : romanians are universally convinced (through the virtues of nutty p;rimary education) that "romanian is the only language which is written
as it is heard"
mircea_popescu: the great clobbering looks great especially from the us. otherwise, they have a bombed building downtown which they're pretty much preserving
as is
nubbins`: (fwiw, math can be studied
as either)
nubbins`: “Do not be alarmed. You seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He has risen; he is not here. See the place where they laid him. But go, tell his disciples and Peter that he is going before you to Galilee. There you will see him, just
as he told you.” And they went out and fled from the tomb, for trembling and astonishment had seized them, and they said nothing.
nubbins`: not only does it make no mention of a virgin birth -- in fact, jesus is referred to
as a son of mary -- but it ends when jesus dies.
mircea_popescu: i mean arguably eulora
as-is won't match exactly the eulora
as-word-of-god
mircea_popescu: inasmuch
as wiki articles are intended ot describe things such
as they are, they don't sanely need much more than snippets anwyay
mircea_popescu: A. James Manchin either delighted or appalled the West Virginia voters. Many people, especially senior citizens, loved the attention he bestowed upon them later
as Secretary of State. He would produce a certificate with a gold star and make quite a production of just about anyone's service to "Mother West Virginia." Giving away his trademark white or black fedora to young teenage boys along the campaign trail, Manch
mircea_popescu:
as i was sayin' to erik, the guy's the clown of all time.
ThickAsThieves: omg someone on twitter just used "Bitcoin is not Quantum Safe, sorry."
as an argument
ThickAsThieves: "The hack rates
as one of the largest heists in history"
nubbins`: no, only got
as far
as the login screen. keyboard input goes to the terminal window rather than the un/pw textboxes
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform in retrospect, "strategy" on such venues should be taken
as an indicator of consumate armchair generalship.
mircea_popescu: @TomHashemi Sure, most actual strategists I know advertise themselves
as cooks, streetsweepers, merchandise stacking "executives" and so on
mircea_popescu: @Mircea_Popescu Nope... I've read enough of your nonsense on bitcointalk to do it on twitter
as well
mircea_popescu:
as soon
as they figure out wtf they are. will be 2015 at the ealiest.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile i'm having fun on twitter with twerps who describe themselves
as "Strategy & Research"
mike_c: "I am most concerned that
as Bitcoin is inevitably banned in other countries, Americans will be left holding the bag on a valueless currency"
mike_c: there's already a btc hedge on mpex in x.eur. i'm not sure how much appetite you'll find for a bond that will decrease in NAV and interest rate
as btc rises.
the20year2: Well , if it works
as a BTC short, then the interest being paid would be tied to USD rather than BTC, but still paid via btc
as the medium
mircea_popescu: in some cases obviously the asset is owned by an actual investment bank which already has a seat. this is by no means common or the rule. esp
as things mature.
mike_c: %
as rent climbs
as population density rises
mike_c: %
as rent has more to do with density, no?
mircea_popescu: there's no such thing

KRS1: thestringpuller: that too, depending on who you ask..
as in ... skeet skeet
nubbins`: i.e. "right"
as a synonym for "Very"
mircea_popescu: but
as a general principle actual finance does not belong in the mouth of pundits any more than science belongs in the mouths of politicos.
BingoBoingo: Also 737 people reffered by Slashdot in the first hour
as the last of four links in the story.
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves he used to back before i ended up wearing his asshole

as the pdf highlights tard ?
mircea_popescu: nubbins` point in case
as to the "we don't deserve to run a business" thing
mircea_popescu: not proposing any of the foregoing
as factual or anything, merely exploring teh theory of it.
nubbins`: just so happens that he faked the doc at a time when everybody was ready to accept a poor fake
as legit
mircea_popescu: this is probably apocriphal
as such, but it is reflective of various actual events. normally it's retold
as Bugpowder: CoinLab was more mismanaged than Gox, they just died earlier so they couldn't cause
as big a monetary fuckup.

as a genus
MisterE:
as if shecould be out for not paying rent :D
nubbins`:
as if we'd just leave it there for 10 hours
mircea_popescu: "It’s tempting to dismiss the decision
as incomprehensible legalese or the inability of justices to understand that contemporary financial systems rely on a powerful lender or dealer of last resort to weather financial crises."
mircea_popescu: germanz just ruled ecb may not act
as lender of last resort.
mircea_popescu:
as explained in
http://trilema.com/2012/the-problem-of-too-much-money/ : "LTCM collected over one billion dollars in capital. If you’ve been following up to here you probably have a question in your mind : what in the world were they going to do with a billion of their own money ? Good question. The fund had access to heavy leverage,
as high
as 100:1 in many cases. One billion leveraged 100:1 means one hundred billio
BingoBoingo: nubbins`: Any sporting analogy is best
as a baseball analogy, the greatest precision is there. Even if the metric is love of the cunts
mircea_popescu: course in a sense nsa
as it is stands in a relation to nsa-
as-thus-described about roughly
as that merry bunch of Meriwether's thieves stood with THEIR sensible value proposition
mircea_popescu: bitfinex (the thing which now is misreported
as > 30% of the bitcoin average usd price)

as many credentials that you need

as if we didn't have that link already
Apocalyptic:
as he trusts nanotube with a 10 who trusts MT with a 7
mircea_popescu: because such attacks are difficult for ordinary people understand. I have trouble understanding your proposal - ordinary users will be easily bamboozled by a government sponsored security update. Further, when the crisis hits, to disagree with the line, to doubt that the regulators are right, and the problem is the evil speculators, becomes political suicide,
as it did in America in 2007, sometimes physical suicide, a
mircea_popescu: r, more serious, and more disastrous,
as with the most recent one. Each attack is hugely successful, and after the cataclysm that the attack causes the attackers are hailed
as saviors of the poor, the oppressed, and the nation generally, and the blame for the the bad consequences is dumped elsewhere, usually on Jews, greedy bankers, speculators, etc, because such attacks ar
mircea_popescu: The big and easy government attacks on money target a single central money issuer,
as with the first of the modern political attacks, the French Assignat of 1792, but in the late nineteenth century political attacks on financial networks began,
as for example the Federal reserve act of 1913, the goal always being to wind up the network into a single too big to fail entity, and they have been getting progressively bigge
mircea_popescu: Then knowledgeable people complain that the evil financial network is heading for disaster, that the government sponsored enterprises are about to cause a “collapse of the total financial system”,
as Wallison and Alan Greenspan complained in 2005, the government debates shrinking the evil government sponsored enterprises,
as with “S. 190 [109th]: Federal Housing Enterprise Regulatory Reform Act of 2005″ but the
BingoBoingo: ThickAsThieves: Nah, I just want some IT drone to throw him some Trilema showing that Bitcoin regulated Gox out of existence using only death by exile
as a regulatory tool
BingoBoingo: Goxlast is going to be 135 forever it seems. Prolly prudent to quote USD/BTC
as a percent of Gox last nao.
cads: I'm looking at the definition of geometric brownian motion
as the sum of a normal brownian motion and a drift function, and I'm having a hard time believing it actually lets us model real world stocks.
BingoBoingo: Proposal, since Gox last will now always be 135, Instead of Quoting BTC/USD in terms of dollars, it should hence forth be quoted
as a percentage of Gox last.
ThickAsThieves: "but it was once nearly
as important a port
as Savannah[according to whom?]"

ozbot: Facebook chief depicted
as hook-nosed octopus - Europe - Al Jazeera English
Mallstromm: but
as soon
as I buy the coins I'll transfer directly to cold storage. Daytrading is really not worth it IMO
Mallstromm: what I can tell you is that
as soon
as I had a +6 weeks delayed withdrawal I left for good. I didn't give them a second chance. There's really no point in risking your hard earned money when the insolvency signals are so strong
Mallstromm: but
as soon
as the red flags are raised... Its just stupid to risk your hard earned money.
Mallstromm: cazalla: I do believe that there is a small amount of noobs/newcomers who probably just wired money to Gox because it was the best known exchange. I would have researched in forums, etc.
as I did when I bought my first coins in 2012
azi`: and this one is weird
as well
cerelenius: im not concerned with mircea,
as i said hes clever
cerelenius: infact
as he ever used the blockchain to provide evidence of anything? or is it all self issued statements
dignork: basically default, ok, but it's unrelated to options
as a mechanism
chetty: If all the dollars in the world went poof tomorrow there would still be
as many apples :)
dignork: any currency is worthless
as a value storage
jurov: so there 5 trillions are
as good
as non existing
mjr_: so if only a few people use bitcoin to transact their business, it'll be the same
as the romanian lei
cerelenius: its related to btc because
as people WORK hard to build the ecosystem and create purchasing power, it gets siphoned off by the large holders
mjr_:

as price setting
