BingoBoingo: I never understood why HDMI and DVI
took off, what was wrong with DB13W3
assbot: i3 - improved
tiling wm
artifexd: I remember a story from
the early 90's about people coming
to
the US from Russia and getting stuck in
the supermarket because
they couldn't choose a
toothpaste due
to
the number of choices.
pankkake: for window management…
there's many
pankkake: artifexd: for full desktop + app suite, you mean. and
there is at least xfce
assbot: ratpoison: Say good-bye
to
the rodent
artifexd: As far as desktops go, kde and gnome are pretty much all
there is, right?
Apocalyptic: <asciilifeform> you can use kde, gnome, etc. // also known as
the clickodrome
mod6: pankkake: did you
try out pcbsd?
Apocalyptic: damn ATC is roughly 5
times for valuable
that doge
pankkake: bsd ain't ready for
the desktop
artifexd: I'm not married
to Centos. It is just what I've used for servers at home.
artifexd: Additional requirement: It has
to be multi-monitor friendly. I'm driving over 10megapixels of desktop.
artifexd: I was
thinking about Ubuntu but apparently
they suck for reasons
that are unclear
to me.
artifexd: Any recommendations for a linux desktop? Requirements: It would mostly be used for dev work and standard internet user stuff and I have
to be able
to run Windows in a VM (work requires Visual Studio).
moiety: i have
to run out for half hour again but i'll be back asaic
thestringpuller: password is used in
two places unfortunately
two very important places
jurov: cuz i'm at a party atm, just wanted
to shut down my lappy
jurov: thestringpuller: at least you shouldn't mention where

thestringpuller: yea

the weekend pankkake just been a bit lazy
assbot: Pass:

bitcoinpete: fluffypony: how
to become rich? first, have several million Dollars. << lulz
pankkake: benkay: yes, also one of
the reason
the contract would have
to be long. limits on upside
to not go bankrupt in rare cases (say, 3×). limits on volume - many assets have no
trading happening…
HeySteve: this is very common in gold markets
though, it's blatant manipulation
HeySteve: no one looking
to get good prices will sell everything huge volumes all at once
HeySteve: gold's been suppressed for ages with all kinds of crazy slamdown
trades
HeySteve: it's like how brokers can fleece clients by
trading
through
their stops
benkay: what i'm
trying
to convey
to you is
that it's standard operating procedure regardless of
the law.
HeySteve: sure,
that's common sense. but banks
trading against
their customers, well I'm pretty sure
that's illegal. Goldman has done it
too
benkay: p. sure
this happened with
the mpex btc/usd options as well. no proof, but...
benkay: anyways - don't enter into contracts with people who can swing
the market around
to make
the contract pay out however
they want.
benkay: and for
the record people have sold bitcoins naked as well in
the past
benkay: afaik
there's no way
to evaluate
the float on mpex. you just gotta
trust mircea_popescu.
benkay: if havelock wanted
to enable naked short selling
they could do
that in half a second
benkay: no
this has
to do with paper of companies, not bitcoins
themselves
HeySteve: this sort of
thing isn't possible with Bitcoin
though
HeySteve: Patrick Byrne from Overstock has been pushing for
that ban
benkay: the solution apparently is
to ban naked short selling and protect
the institutionalized idiocy
that is
the US paper
transfer 'network'.
☟︎ benkay: if
the US stock market wasn't running on 60s
technology with no idea if a given broker actually had
the
things
they were selling,
this wouldn't be a problem.
HeySteve: yeah absolutely, and pretty sure governments like
to see gold price suppressed. major rises in gold give away
their inflationary printing
benkay: this however is an artifact of a
totally hilariously antiquated system, non?
benkay: okay fine no its not, because i haven't made
the paper up.
HeySteve: but
that's not naked short selling
benkay: it's mp's responsibility
to audit my ability
to pay, not
the governments
to prohibit
the borrowing.
benkay: there is absolutely fuck-all wrong with my borrowing 100B from mircea_popescu and selling
them on
the open market
to pay him back later.
benkay: the myth of a stable market is sold
to consumer investors
to legitimize state intervention in
the markets.
HeySteve: explain gold market
then, benkay
benkay: bit of a collateralization problem,
though.
HeySteve: it depends on
the structure of
the market. if you can naked short commodities, commodity prices will become distorted
Apocalyptic: <benkay> HeySteve: outlawing market manipulation is a fools errand.
those with
the cash
to
throw around are going
to do so regardless of
the regulatory environment and do so all
the
time. << pretty much benkay
BingoBoingo: benkay: Well, you want
to know how much it will crash? Why not seek a guestimate from
the source?
benkay: HeySteve: outlawing market manipulation is a fools errand.
those with
the cash
to
throw around are going
to do so regardless of
the regulatory environment and do so all
the
time.
benkay: BingoBoingo: i have no questions for
the man.
pankkake: however 1) I don't have
the
time 2)
talkvestors wouldn't understand it
HeySteve: benkay, market manipulation on
that scale is supposedly illegal
pankkake: benkay: I was
thinking of starting a general shorting fund - sell shares
that mimic shares in every way (pay same divs, buyback at vwap after X months). sell
the shares at a discount
to make
them more appealing
than real shares
BingoBoingo: benkay: Shame Mr. Ohio is a wonder place isn't here
to !up and ask
that question
to.
benkay: HeySteve: i don't see
the problem. sucker bought shit paper from a firm with a big fucking stick. firm used
the stick
to make
the market do what
they wanted.
benkay: can't short
the fucker,
they'll arbitrarily pin
the price at .008.
benkay: i wonder how hard rent will get hammered in
the next bull market.

bitcoinpete: there honestly aren't enough hours in a day
to document "all
the scams"
bitcoinpete: only occasionally beating a scam
to a pulp when
the mood and/or opportunity arises.
bitcoinpete: it's far more sane
to explore what makes
the non-scams different
bitcoinpete: it's essentially impossible
to document all
the nitty gritty little nonsense ipos/alts/blahblahs out
there
bitcoinpete: thestringpuller:
the point of
the "wallet inspector"
term is
that everything is a scam until proven otherwise
TomServo: Ignorance is bliss in
this case.
TomServo: bitcoinpete: I gotta say, I curse your name often for revealing
to me how
these
tards pronounce 'doge'. :P
jurov: pentesting or just
trying
the knobs?

jurov: i guess ascii would get pretty annoyed,
too. if cardano ended up used as btc wallet :D
jurov: kakobrekla: did bfl publish
the hw specs at all? (aside from number of fans)
jurov: and
to annoy stickfag >:D
jurov: maybe even most of
trezor code can be ported
to have best of both worlds
