Jere_Jones: So "scam" is used, not as an attack on one's character, but as a characterization of their trustability?
mircea_popescu: "tysat, if you believe they are pump and dumps, seriously who do you think is behind it? mtgox? the btc elites? honestly, if someone is pumping and dumping in an organised way, as a means of screwing new investors then the entire alt community should hunt them down"
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla we are now fuckbrothers, as we have been fucked up by the same thing!

cads: In the chat room (which is a regular IRC chatroom operated by twitch.tv) the broadcaster placed a bot that would interpret messages from players as key presses: players may register to the site to go on the chat and type "up" "down", "a", "b", etc.
herbijudlestoids: mircea_popescu: worse they present the data as if it was clear cut that now people like salsa more than ketchup, but there is probly algorithmic/computational reasons more than historical ones
herbijudlestoids: but the data is not as realtime as trends
herbijudlestoids: mircea_popescu: like i said earlier. i dont view this as an argument, when i question it is just to learn. i am always willing to consider an opinion or formula or whatever, even if i dont accept it in the end.
mircea_popescu: as in, not have to rollover any day/week/whatever loans
mircea_popescu: that's as antieconical as it gets.
herbijudlestoids: the market implied EPS growth rate for FB/TWTR/GRPN are very very high. not as high as MPOE, but quite high
mircea_popescu: herbijudlestoids there's no compelling reason to believe the price of mpoe isn't derived from its value as a currency.
mircea_popescu: wherein a number of large players keep pushing back and forth holdings of s.mpoe as tokens of credit
mircea_popescu: such as for instance as roughly the equivalent of a discounted us fed
mike_c: hm, try this. would s.mpoe returning 1% a year be the same to you as 7C returning 1% a year?
herbijudlestoids: so, S.MPOE priced at 100BTC per share is just as good an investment as S.MPOE at 0.0000001 per share then
ThickAsThieves: that;s what i took from it as well
ThickAsThieves: for an many things as herb covered he only scratched the surface
mircea_popescu: anyway, let's consider the historical case as it played out. s.mpoe vs pmbs
mircea_popescu: you could invest in good wallet practices just as well
mircea_popescu: so inasmuch as google is worth 1% of all dollars today and 1% of all dollars in 2050, a high price of google stock is warranted at all points because google is important
mike_c: if your opinions can be as polarizing as mp's you can even charge for it.
herbijudlestoids: i said, if we assume, for the sake of an experiment, that the market has priced efficiently, then this is what its implying as EPS growth
nubbins`: pff, as if staying away from blogger is going to make a difference there
pankkake: I'm not discussing the merits of neo&bee as an investment
benkay: unworthy of a goddess. To all this let me add, I have seven sons and seven daughters, and look for sons-in-law and daughters-in-law of pretensions worthy of my alliance. Have I not cause for pride? Will you prefer to me this Latona, the Titan's daughter, with her two children? I have seven times as many. Fortunate indeed am I, and fortunate I shall remain! Will any one deny this?
benkay: folly," said she, "is this! to prefer beings whom you never saw to those who stand before your eyes! Why should Latona be honored with worship rather than I? My father was Tantalus, who was received as a guest at the table of the gods; my mother was a goddess. My husband built and rules this city, Thebes; and Phrygia is my paternal inheritance. Wherever I turn my eyes I survey the elements of my power; nor is my form and presence
benkay: It was on occasion of the annual celebration in honor of Latona and her offspring, Apollo and Diana, when the people of Thebes were assembled, their brows crowned with laurel, bearing frankincense to the altars and paying their vows, that Niobe appeared among the crowd. Her attire was splendid with gold and gems, and her face as beautiful as the face of an angry woman can be. She stood and surveyed the people with haughty looks. "What
asciilifeform: 'dog sees master as large dog' theorem.
pankkake: weird as they even mention the channel https://thepiratebay.se/contact
mircea_popescu: thecapitalr as i usually say to people, http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=17-02-2014#511169 ☝︎
mircea_popescu: davout it exists as a verb too. to reel = to shake from side to side.
mircea_popescu: as well as the thread thus collected

asciilifeform: hell, it's exactly as dumb as 'online wallets'
mircea_popescu: you have to be completely broken i nthe head to imagine there is such a thing as a legitimate rat.
mircea_popescu: and the thing was actually xml as opposed to xml-ish
mircea_popescu: mike_c but as to the practical question...
mircea_popescu: which will make r3wt's exchange implementable as a crafting station in eulora
mircea_popescu: i'm still waffly whether the entire thing should be torn out and re-written (which you know, 16th standard problem as well as joel's netscape objections)
mircea_popescu: Using a variable as a function name, or variable name, or class name. (silent)
davout: ThickAsThieves: who knows... as usual, wear a condom and don't leave money on exchanges

mircea_popescu: basically it's a site to meet federal agents posing as people who are trying to buy bitcoins to pay for stolen cards, rite ?
pankkake: my innefiencies with php was mostly… looking up the order of function arguments, as they were so inconsistent
mircea_popescu: i still don't believe there's anything that even comes close to php for as long as what you're doing is basically... a blog.
pankkake: and thus, if you export to json, empty "arrays" can end up as lists when you wanted dicts
Apocalyptic: "An array in PHP is actually an ordered map. A map is a type that associates values to keys. This type is optimized for several different uses; it can be treated as an array, list (vector), hash table (an implementation of a map), dictionary, collection, stack, queue, and probably more"
r3wt: as far as i'm aware.
r3wt: says i'm already logged in as r3wt
benkay: basically built by ee's as a flight platform for their electronics
mircea_popescu: such as for instance right now.
asciilifeform: if we do it with some fancy multi-keyed crypto widget, it'll double as a tontine...
mircea_popescu: well obviously we can't let this run as a dollar auction.
mircea_popescu: i wouldn't deposit so much as to fuck things up
mircea_popescu: this is supposed to work so as to humble the nobel idiocy, not necessarily as to make the recipient rich.
mircea_popescu: In 1924, an American banker named Charles Dawes outlined what came to be known as the Dawes Plan — a new reparations agreement under which U.S. banks such as J.P. Morgan issued bonds to private investors on behalf of Germany, which agreed to pay them back when the money became due. Dawes won the 1925 Nobel Peace Prize for his work on this plan. But when the first batch of bonds came due in 1928, Germany again default
mircea_popescu: http://content.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,2023140,00.html < economic crisis starts sort-of just as germany is done paying its 1953-reinstated, ww1 bonds.
mircea_popescu: the entire thing ended in the 30s as perhaps the first major fiasco of the government-owned financial system.
mircea_popescu: as in, all through the war the british were sucking captial out of the us, first in the form of cashing out their massive investments, then in the shape of borrowing.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: but as you observed, the age of the impotent. whose doings perhaps will not make for good pictures.
asciilifeform: the most mortal sin was, as one might expect, snitching, followed by welching on debts.
mircea_popescu: as best one can discern anyway.
asciilifeform: for real, as well as imagines, slights.
asciilifeform: the man i quoted re: the meatgrinder was employed as a detective embedded in a prison, in what was then leningrad. he had an interesting take: much of what the rubes think of as 'the cruelty' was simply administration of justice among the convicts
asciilifeform: as you might expect.
asciilifeform: no serious objection on my part, just that the author has a reputation as a teller of embellished tales.
