asciilifeform: in the case of the intel product, even if it is placed on open market - you'll have to wait for reverse-engineered loader
decimation: you think that won't be the case with this intel chip?
asciilifeform: but at least these were traditional fpga and one could (at least in the case of xilinx) use linux toolchain, traditional vhdl/verilog, etc
decimation: it is interesting, but there's no word on the details, like dynamic reconfiguration
asciilifeform: decimation: built by nallatech (nsa contractor) and a few other outfits. thus, golden toilet prices
asciilifeform: decimation: for some years, there were fpga on the market that fit into an intel or amd cpu socket

Mats_cd03: in this instance, my brain was the failure mode
decimation: sucks :( I will take this as a reminder to test out my backup arrangements
asciilifeform: ;;rate mats 1 temporary voice
thestringpuller: wow this site wants to use 0.001 as a miners fee
TheNewDeal: haha possibly. I was just looking at the website and apparently only the first block on the top was refreshing. List read 306725 , 306719, 306718....
benkay: <TheNewDeal> wtf is going on blockchain.info // have they gone evil yet?
decimation: hehe yeah exactly. And the wreckers (kulaks, rednecks, red-staters, etc) are all the same 'round the world
decimation: supporting the losers who oppose the new pantheism of our elites would be dumb
decimation: yeah that's stupid. If I were Russia I would fund the environmentalists to protest sane solutions like nuclear fission and promote insane solutions like wind
bitcoinpete: off to the library...
TheNewDeal: nvm must not refresh like I thought
decimation: re: wreckers - sounds like a good description of the environmental lobby to me. bring back RSFSR penal code article 58
decimation: ;;later tell Mats_cd03 I apologize for logging - I had to get some sleep for an early morning. I generally check the logs within a few days, so it's still productive to write for the record.
TheNewDeal: even stranger. Go look at the last 2 bets on bastille day
bitcoinpete: saw that
TheNewDeal: can't believe someone put down 1.6 on BTC above 800 before july. 5 days ago would have had twice the timweight
TheNewDeal: anyone know of the mpoe vwap of the entirety of 2013?
mircea_popescu: but whatever, leave hius blog. i wasn't even there.
mircea_popescu: mthreat no i know who the guy is, just, avc didn't compute

bitcoinpete: 1 guxy/moiety/satoshi's calf, that is...
punkman: about this time last year
mircea_popescu: in btc it sorta fought for 1 like 3 or 4 times
mircea_popescu: i think when btc was 1.2k
mircea_popescu: course the problem here is mpex is kinda the billion dollar start-up
assbot:  louisgray.com: The Myth of the Billion Dollar Startup
bitcoinpete: "So let’s recognize the world has changed a bit over the last two decades and call them for what they are. These aren’t startups - and most of the upside from investing in these companies comes before they even go public, not after the fact."
mircea_popescu: bitcoinpete i recall it was discussed here back then, FabianB came up with an azn term
mircea_popescu: <mike_c> whoops, somebody just dropped 60 btc on JD. there goes another startup. << lmao
bitcoinpete: punkman: that would be quite the honour
bitcoinpete: cow's calf is the only slang term for half a quid i could find
bitcoinpete: fluffypony: mircea_popescu i found our term for 10'000 satoshi: satoshi's calf http://www.cockneyrhymingslang.co.uk/slang/cow_s_calf_1

mircea_popescu: not entirely sure why the foundation derps think anyone asked them anything on the score, but then again... it's kinda what they do, isn't it.
assbot: MPEx : one year of dividends pe Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
mircea_popescu: bitcoinpete cut them some slack, they have to consider the long-reaching consequences of renaming "satoshis"...whatever will the altcoins think if they do? <<< course this is long ago resolved, http://trilema.com/2013/mpex-one-year-of-dividends/#identifier_4_47551
mike_c: of course, the stock is generally restricted..
mike_c: there are both, the PR and the accounting. the PR being cash + stock + incentives. but cash + stock is accounting
mircea_popescu: but no, in general the "purchase price" is more of a pr device than an accounting device these days
mike_c: so you could use that purchase price. this does get complicated with (cash + stock + incentives) though.
mike_c: well, facebook doesn't just announce a 20bn purchase. they are public, they have to record what they pay.
mircea_popescu: let me be the judge of that lol
mike_c: yeah.. but if the returns are not well connected to the returns fiat investors see (btc forex risk ignored) it may not have the effect you are looking for.
mircea_popescu: facebook can announce a 20bn buy of something worth 0 any time it pleases.
mircea_popescu: there's really very little way to price fraudulent sales.
mircea_popescu: alternatively, bitpay gets sold for $50k to facebook, which moves up 25% that month
mircea_popescu: anyway, reason the contracts aren't signed yet is because i wanna see what the general community thinks
mircea_popescu: jurov: anyway i'd be surprised if schmucks who may buy D.* have mpex or at least coinbr accounts *and* whole bitcoins <<< are you saying the claim that someone "invested" 30mn usd in bitpay are false ?
mircea_popescu: jurov: mircea_popescu: can i open D.BBS and short my shares there? << what'd be d.bbs ?
mircea_popescu: and then i rant about how us people don't speak latin. what speak latin lol.

mircea_popescu: im more than happy to wait for real fresh juice
mircea_popescu: girly is like... well you ok to wait a little ? we gotta send someone to buy oranges.
mircea_popescu: so i go to this place where i normally have an orange juice "exprimido" which means freshly pressed with a two liter bottle, asked them to fill it
mircea_popescu: i think if they did it the other way you couldn't pass
asciilifeform: (they still seemed to do so)
asciilifeform: afaik this was to keep co2 crystals from covering everything
benkay: is this...sane?
asciilifeform: benkay: i once worked with laboratory (-80C) units that didn't. a pump moved the cold air to reservoir when you turned the handle. room air pumped in, door opens. reverse when close hadle.
asciilifeform: ('absorption' type fridge fueled with the bugger's own fat would be considerably more efficient. but for some reason he did not suggest this variant.)
benkay: why fridges spill all the cold air out every time one opens them, i'll never understand.
asciilifeform: '...the machine I would most like to develop is a pedal powered refrigerator and possibly freezer.'
mircea_popescu: i can't stop imagining various hand-cranked things
asciilifeform: guess the hand-cranked spamatron operator grew tired
asciilifeform: well it was dead earlier today
asciilifeform: what kind of turdmeister asks for 1/4 btc ?!
mircea_popescu: o wait, i guess i didn't miss anything. "If you don't pay me now, tomorrow price will increase to 0.5 BTC."
mircea_popescu: did this actually happen ?
mircea_popescu: It's one time payment, after which you will not hear from me again (and you are free to publish my name and email on your blog)"
