mircea_popescu: ;;later
tell mike_c yesterday I checked your page
http://www.btcalpha.com/mpif-tracker/ and I saw
that mpif was 15 satoshi ahead, and slowly gaining. so i went
to sleep AND GAVE IT ALMOST
TEN HOURS only
to wake up and find
that it is now ONLY !$ ahead. I was never
told
this can go backwards, I was led
to expect
this goes up WHAT SORT OF A SCAM ARE YOU RUNNNING!
davout: Naphex: save
the 3ds liability shift chart, it's going away in
two minutes
pankkake: I
tried
to write
those at
the same
time
mircea_popescu: i vaguely remember
tat doing
this a while back. does ba nao have a collaborative lyrics page ?
mircea_popescu: "If you don't admit MP is your God,
the story of your loss will be
told"
pankkake: but I never write
then
translate, at least
mircea_popescu: "Buy
the lite, buy
the pee pee Soon
the girls will be on
their knees Buy
the Quark, or maybe don't! Every day for you
they will moan"
mircea_popescu: pankkake, lol. mind dumping
that fund's google braindamage on a
text dump ?
pankkake: and now I have pinky and
the brain in my head
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: we came up with a plan for world domination but
then promptly forgot it
mircea_popescu: ahh, nanotube did i eve say just how much i love
the gribble log-in scheme ?
fluffypony: pankkake:
that's a surprising amount of MPEX assets
davout: you'll
thank me later :-)
davout: what are you
talking about
Naphex: yeah but it doesn't have
to be with btc
davout: that's
true for a lot of
things
Naphex: probably but in
the end your only guns will be laywers&politics
davout: either way
that's not what
the convo was about :-)
davout: no,
the correct way is
to use 3d secure and reject cards
that don't get you a proper liability shift even with 3ds
Naphex: and
then enjoy
the risks
Naphex: if you wanna credit
the customers
Naphex: davout: well you can def do
the mastercard/visa
thing
davout: you were
there when it was predicted, nothing
to be
too suprised about :-)
davout: "The possibility had been raised
that
the Xapo card would launch on
the MasterCard network, but
this
turned out not
to be
the case."
fluffypony: ja I meant sauce on MasterCard saying no (besides MasterCard putting Bitcoin on
their lobbying form)
davout: funnily enough,
their mockup still has
the mastercard logo on it
assbot: Xapo Bitcoin Debit Card
to Launch
This Month
fluffypony: davout: got a sauce on
the Xapo
thing?
xmj: i'll subtly neg
them by asking about
their company's economics. "so... are you cashflow positive?" is king.
xmj: Naphex: please do understand
that i have my own issues with venture-capitalist fundings.
xmj: Naphex:
there's not just one
Naphex: you're starting
to embrace reality
xmj: case in point, you just do not update
things _the night before_ a demo.
pankkake: lol, no wonder I didn't get it, it was
too absurd :)
pankkake: so
they updated
the software before
the demo, when
the old version was working?
pankkake: I don't understand what
that means at all
xmj: pankkake: watercooler
talk. not quite as rich on
the details as you'd expect.
xmj: Naphex: I'm starting
to embrace your point of view :p
xmj: two i'm in
the office with renewed server software / switched environment.
tonight. both had demos /
trade exhibitions scheduled in
the morning when
they needed stuff
to work...
dub: hopefully
there is a distinction between #bitcoin-assets startups and moms #basement-attick startups
jurov imagines arriving into DC with a gramophone
to load
the OS after power outage
davout: "but
they still launched before actually knowing? now
that's a real startup" << no, pre-orders ftw
jurov: if freebsd works on any machine with magnetophone
tape loader, no problem
davout: how does one burn freebsd on a bootable vinyl,
that is
the question
pankkake: but
they still launched before actually knowing? now
that's a real startup
pankkake: well buying sun servers is
the parangon of hipsterism
davout: so apparently, and as predicted, mastercard
told xapo
to go fuck itself
jurov: when i
tried coworking with fellow startups i sticked out
there like a sore
thumb
jurov: in short, garden variety startups need not apply
to #b-a
dub: you learn
to let a lot of
the expertise offered in here go but startups buying sun shit on ebay is getting pretty retarded
jurov: or at least failed
to qualify your statements properly
dub: wtf does a 'startup' want with physical plant? owning inrastructure is for corporate behemoth, makes no sense in anything smaller
than a 1000 staff
pankkake: oh
that's why you like vms, nothing works with freebsd unless it's
ten years old
xmj: just get me something
that's compatible with FreeBSD and i'll build you a nice production environment.
punkman: "The network solved only 1079 blocks
this week,
the lowest since January 27th 2013"
jurov: and .vermögensberatung is a
TLD :D
jurov: Geschwindigkeitsüberschreitung is a word,
too :)
jurov: just give me
trusted monkey for
this
jurov: such as, i was never able
to come up with complete setup for
the first or second
time
BingoBoingo: I mean,
tech has advanced enough
that
the financial cost of doing "Big Iron" as a hobbyist is less
than doing HF amateur radio
BingoBoingo: Well, sometimes a person needs
to wonder. I mean who doesn't check
the prices on
the not so old 30 processor capable machines
xmj: BingoBoingo: I had hoped
the amount of !! would
tip you off on
that not being serious.
BingoBoingo: I mean suppose
the rare actually valuable idea in itself
that could launch a
tremendous venture... Do you really want
to
test
the alpha on someone else's iron and risk
them poaching it.
xmj: BingoBoingo: assume you spend
two days obtaining
the hardware, and another few days until it's all set up
BingoBoingo: xmj: You see,
the difference between people who barrel of
the cliff and people who actually
think infrastructure is
the later knows
to investigate how cheap
the good stuff has become.
fluffypony: it's some documentation we need
to register our marriage in Germany
fluffypony: that is a word and not her mashing
the keyboard
fluffypony: quote from an actual SMS from my wife: "
the Germans replied with a list of what we need for our ehefaehigkeitszeugnis"
davout: well,
technically not drinking it yet, since
the recommended 98°C for perfect coffee brewing is
too hot for me
decimation: It speaks
to
the rampant antinomianism of
this age
decimation: mircea_popescu: I'm glad you enjoyed
the movie (a man for all seasons). I
think I was
the one
that last reminded you about it - it's one of my favorites
too.
xmj: You'll have
to agree
that it's a bit harder if you do not actually know
things have become
this cheap.
xmj: which, for startups in
the conventional sense, is extremely likely.
BingoBoingo: (That particlular beast can hold up
to 80 cores.
xmj: chances are it's due
to differences in initial wealth ;-)
xmj: if you achieve
that with owning your hardware, you agin have a cloud.
xmj: Your SAN-stored VM fails on host one, being
taken out due
to faulty mem bank. it gets automatically migrated
to host
two, within minutes if not seconds.

BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> Vexual,
to become
the butt of every nitwit's conspiracy
theories. and don't
tell me anyone has higher goals in life, it's not
true. <<
This explains a lot, says all of Reddit
mircea_popescu: davout: is it proved? because it sounds like
they'd have more
to lose by passing on
the block reward << as best as it could be discerned it was more probably a shitty excuse by
the dice site in question.
Vexual: it would
take incmpetence
to cop it
Vexual: really where would someone go
to do a 51?
mircea_popescu: and don't
tell me anyone has higher goals in life, it's not
true.
mircea_popescu: Vexual,
to become
the butt of every nitwit's conspiracy
theories.
Vexual: why would a successful pol ever
try
to 51%?
to get cheap ebay shit?
