danielpbarron: just
to clarify, I don't have a problem with blacks, but so what? if you don't like
that someone hates blacks
then don't do business with
them
Naphex: hey xmj
troll me with some marketing voodoo about startups i am in
the mood:)
moiety: ok moving
time, see yous later!
chetty: I once had
to go
to a racism class when I was pregnant, some derp said something about pregnant and barefoot women in
the kitchen so I
took my shoes off and said 'which way?'
mike_c: danielpbarron: you are
trying
to be cute with
the rules, but
that is just bullshit. why do you have
the rule against black figurines? because you hate blacks.
mircea_popescu: which is why all
this nonsense is so funny, all
the racism involved in
the arguments against discrimination.
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron, it will be argued
that it is in fact discriminatory on
the racist presumption
that it disproportionately affects black customers, as if
they absolutely have
to have black figurines on
their wedding cake.
benkay: "don't
transact with
the masses"
chetty: well its
the {must have sensitiveity
training'
that gets me
danielpbarron: how is
that discrimination?
the rule isn't no black customers; it's no black figurines
mike_c: danielpbarron: you going
to have a rule against black figurines on your cakes
too?
Mats_cd03: that war chest needs about
three more zeros
to make a difference
TomServo: Isn't
the real humor re:
the gay cake
the fact
that
this ruling occurred in a state in which gay marriage is illegal?
danielpbarron: or "the customer must buy
the figurines separately and apply
them himself"
danielpbarron: how can you even
tell
the cake is for a gay wedding? i'm guess it has
two groom figurines on
the
top; is it against
the law
to have a rule
that no cake may have
two male figurines on
top?
princessnell: Peter
Thiel getting behind campaign finance reform
assbot: Tech
Titans From Both Parties Get Behind Super PAC
To End All Super PACs
mircea_popescu: which is why
there should be no higher power
than a baker
benkay: but
the baker answers
to a higher power
mircea_popescu: <benkay> re: gay bakery - don't ever
tell anyone why you're refusing
to do business with
them. 'this just isn't a good deal for me.
thanks for your interest. << hyou know
this is how
the VC circus was born right ? bankers
thinking it imprident
to laugh in
the face of "businessmen"
benkay: but you go
to
the gulag for saying "naw faggot get out"
mike_c: meh, i don't
think it works irl. just make
the guy a cake. wtf does
the baker care? you don't go
to hell for making gay cakes.
benkay: changing what rate? each customer only sees
their own quote
mike_c: and why are you changing
the rate? because
the guy is gay? doesn't work.
danielpbarron: i'd just make
the homos
their stupid cake and
then
tweet about how homosexuals should be stoned
to death later
that night
benkay: there are just so many ways
to do it,
though mike_c
mike_c: that doesn't work for a bakery. you can't serve 10 customers cake and
then
tell
the black guy "this isn't a good deal for me".
benkay: re: gay bakery - don't ever
tell anyone why you're refusing
to do business with
them. 'this just isn't a good deal for me.
thanks for your interest.'
benkay: i just learned about
the doge "soak"
princessnell: chetty

to scope out
the place beforehand.
princessnell: chetty
terrible. i need
to gtfo like yesterday.

mircea_popescu: o yah, yeah i

CheckDavid: mircea_popescu: you made assbot
trust me so I can voice?

mircea_popescu: nah,
there's some extra bytes
to be able
to brick asics
bitcoinpete: mircea_popescu: mike_c, consider one of
the safeguards is used and bricks a generation of asics. << like moving
to sha512 or…?

bitcoinpete: so i sent an email back
to his otc email, a different one
than
the he'd previously sent from and… message delayed/lost in ether
bitcoinpete: lol usagi sent me a cleartext email
the same day he negrated me
benkay: <mircea_popescu> gotta love people
that send you gpg mail and dutifully include a complete summary in
the subject line // even better are cleartext responses quoting
the original message
mircea_popescu: benkay, pretty much
th estory of business since niniveh
benkay: <mircea_popescu> im gonna consider sponsoring some people i don't know, because i have no friends and don't know anybody. //
this is
the same problem i have with figuring out which
trade shows
to attend. i can't find a pattern
to which ones produce leads, so i have
to make a bunch of mistakes and learn
to sniff out
the frauds myself.
mike_c: not only is some dumbass
trying
to bet after
the event, but he bets a whopping 20 cents.

benkay: sorry for interrupting
the magic computers discussion
benkay: it was awesome. much lectures on understanding what
the fuck you're playing with and how it's not a fucking
toy were dispensed.
benkay: opened his PHONE WALLET
to discover
that due
to its dependency on
the blockchain API he was SHIT OUT OF BITCOINS.
benkay: some noob was all fired
to undercut a regular on
the local btc circuit
mircea_popescu: but all in all
this is a fine example of why i said in
the past
that bitcoin fucks everything up. it ruined
the notion of bonds similarly.
mike_c: tangible assets are always overstated in value
though
mircea_popescu: granted
that
the form of it favours your interpretation
mircea_popescu: this seems
to me
to fly in
the face of
the ~fundamental~ point of
tangibility
mircea_popescu: they're just as
tangible now
than before, what are
they worth ?
mircea_popescu: mike_c, consider one of
the safeguards is used and bricks a generation of asics.
benkay: there was a minor dust-up over
the semantics of renting v owning.
mircea_popescu: a dream machine made out of a block of obsidian is
tangible
too ?
benkay: remember
the conversation about
the s.mg server?
mike_c: physical machines seem like a
tangible asset
mike_c: well, depreciation. amortization is for non-real
things.
mircea_popescu: also seems
they have no intention
to even
try doing amortisation accounting on
the mining rigs
mircea_popescu: seems a scary
tight margin put in
those
terms, but who knows.
mircea_popescu: mike_c, i guess
the sane construction here is
they're paying about 100mn
to
the various manuf etc
to make
their chips, and
they expect
to mine 200mn worth of btc
mircea_popescu: it would help if
the people covering
the most important
thing happening in
the world
these years would be at leas
tconversant in its basicsa
mircea_popescu: fluffypony, at
the
time
there were about 9.5mn in
total in existence, of which ~1mn still locked as
today
mike_c: not
to mention more
than existed at
the
time.
fluffypony: "IPO: want
to raise half of bitcoins
to ever exist. plz apply here."
mircea_popescu: i ddin't miss
the part where
th sec dutifully cribbed
the mpex numbers from
trilema.
mike_c: you missed
the one from financial
times
that said SD raised *10 million* btc in
their ipo
mircea_popescu: but it's not directly obvious how. who
the fuck does wsj serve
these days anyway ?
mike_c: well,
they are
talking about cash flow not balance sheet, so capex i guess
mircea_popescu: its a fucking start-up,
they didn't hear of stock options in georgia ?
mircea_popescu: mike_c, what i want
to know is, if you ignore
tax, interest, depreciaiton and everything else
mircea_popescu: Mats_cd03: how long does it
take for BB
to deposit winnings following resolution << a maximum of
two days
mircea_popescu: "and expects $210 million in revenue for
this year, on $120 million in EBITDA, Mr. Kikvadze said"
mircea_popescu: "BitFury Group Ltd. last week secured one of
the largest rounds of funding in
the bitcoin sector, bringing in $20 million."
