kakobrekla: yes i make chanserv voice
the bots,
they need
to be registered with nickserv
artifexd: kakobrekla: Do I need
to anything special
to get artibot voiced in here? Is being a bot enough? I can (and will eventually) code it
to ident with gribble and !up with assbot if necessary but if you have a list of preapproved bots,
that would be easier.
artifexd: <mircea_popescu> mind adding it in here with a special rule
to only dump bets > 1btc ? << No problem.
artifexd: <kakobrekla> artifexd you might
take out 'New' out of
the strings, since
the
thing is never 'old' <- Excellent idea. I shall implement.
mircea_popescu: SUSAN: Yeah,
that's
the way Russell is. He doesn't like
to play games.
mircea_popescu: GEORGE: Well, don't
they make a counter offer? How can
they just cancel
the whole deal like
that? What kind of a maniac is
this guy? I mean he just, he says no, and
that's it?

BCB: jurov, I see
that. I probably couldn't do it for less
then 20%
jurov: mircea_popescu:
that's
the gal with your pants?
jurov: BCB all managers got 10% off
the profit

mircea_popescu: "We cannot wake up or fall asleep, remember or forget our dreams, summon or banish our
thoughts, by deciding
to do so.
mircea_popescu: We
think our actions express our decisions. But in nearly all of our life, willing decides nothing.
BCB: I'm not a Money
Transmitter in
the US
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: you need someone with a proper gaydar
to
tell you
mircea_popescu: chick
that's not been allowed
to wear pants for 5 years now or something,
tried on one of my pairs for fun. she looked incredibly hot in
them.
mircea_popescu: i mean he could say he's seen most GIRLS
that ever shot more
than a few
tests
mircea_popescu: how is
that even possible, i'd guess even excluding cams and amateur shit,
there's well over 1mn hours floating around.
mircea_popescu: pankkake you seriously claim
to have seen most porn in existence ?!
jurov: someone figured out how
to
trade gpg privkeys?
mod6: naw, just
the latter.
fluffypony: mod6: oh wait - did you mean buy
the seat and hold it, not buy
the seat and
then buy shares and hold
them?
fluffypony: but otherwise my portfolio is
too small fry
to justify it
fluffypony: maybe possibly if I stumbled into
the knowledge /
time / inclination
to run a brokerage it would be worthwhile
fluffypony: mod6: I can do
that
through coinbr
tho
mircea_popescu: fluffypony if you
think about it, nyse has 1.5k seats or so, and perhaps 150mn diff people ever
traded on it.
fluffypony: I'm
too casual an investor
to make it work for me
fluffypony: I
think it's out of my league, not entirely from a price perspective but more from a "what would I do with it" perspective
mike_c: i don't
think it's ever been a bad price. best
time
to buy a mpex seat is
today.
fluffypony: even if you're just
toe-dipping into BTC
mike_c: ^ way less
then 40k a year
fluffypony: iz ok, I still have jurov
to hook me up
fluffypony: yeah, long before my
time unfortunately
fluffypony: what is humorous are
the people bitching about 30 BTC per seat when
that was $600
mike_c: hehe. well, when
things heat up another order of magnitude
they will start writing checks like it's going out of style. even if it is
too late.
mircea_popescu: "This is possibly
the last chance
to
take
those piles of fundamentally worthless US dollars and use
them for something with any sort of future value.",
the man said.
mircea_popescu: of fucking course you'll be priced out of what
trilema
tells you
to do in april 2013 if you wait
till april 2014. if you weren't priced out
that'd mean
trilema sucks.
mircea_popescu: what is
this shit, i give orders and
they disobey ? because why ?
mircea_popescu: why didn't
they read
trilema april 2013 and execute
THAT WEEK ?

mike_c: and even
that wasn't
that big
mike_c: not
to defend
the vc's. but currently
the best VC's are priced out of bitcoin companies. what startup are
they going
to put serious money into? not many choices.
mircea_popescu: yeah well,
they're limited by what
they see on cereal cartons.
mircea_popescu: and i'll delight in punishing all
the vcs with it in
the years
to come. "here.
this was your job.
this was your job
that you didn't do. because you suck. because you're inept. because you can't do your job. like children. look how stupid you were. you still are."
☟︎ fluffypony: vs. BitcoinBourse
that say
they want
to be "the Wall Street of Bitcoin"
mircea_popescu: fluffypony nobody can say
they didn't have a fair chance.
they blew it,
tho.
mircea_popescu: generally speaking, any move you
take
to make anything more accessible, makes it shittier. in general, by a larger %
than
the gain of accessibility.
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: it's quite funny -
the
Twitter exchange earlier led me
to stumbling across MPEX's AngelList profile around
the same
time as
the conversation in -otc
fluffypony: "The most expensive inflation-adjusted seat was sold in 1929 for $625,000, which,
today, would be over six million dollars. In recent
times, seats have sold for as high as $4 million in
the late 1990s and as low as $1 million in 2001."
mircea_popescu: lose a bunch of smart
traders in
the wtc, piss off everyone with a populist nyse franchise,
mike_c: 40k is like 25% of
the cost of 1 engineer
fluffypony: mike_c:
they had 1366 seats
total, fixed and you couldn't get more
mircea_popescu: the collapse of
the us is made of little pukes like
that.
mircea_popescu: hardly worth having one (and
the people
that had
them back in
the day are pissed at nyse for it)
fluffypony: mike_c: not
the post-2005 model,
the fixed seats model
fluffypony: even now
that
they've gone
to a yearly "license" model
fluffypony: and holy shit were
those seats expesnive
mircea_popescu: one of
the issues with bitbet is how exactly
the bets will be
treated
fluffypony: the subject of "seats" came up on -otc
today
fluffypony: I like
the format, definitely more elegant
than
the way MPOE reports atm, for instance
mircea_popescu: so far it's ambiguously either of
the
two, and a bunch of other stuff needs reviewing about it
mircea_popescu: fluffypony yeah. except mpoe is incorporated as a zero asset corp, and bitbet may be migrated, once i have some
time
to dick with
that.
mircea_popescu: punkman beauty is simply a sign of good quality genetics. all
things equal, beautiful people are more likely
to be intelligent
than ugly people.
fluffypony: I know
that, but lately I've been reading
the AN0 overview over and over again
to be able
to use it, and you said
that in 2014 it would become compulsory for all assets on mpex?
mircea_popescu: Or
that more attractive people are judged as more
trustworthy, or
they arguments
they give as more intelligent. <<
this is actually not
that bad a bias.
mircea_popescu: libXfont
to crash, or possibly execute arbitrary code in order
to gain
mircea_popescu: metadata file parsing. A local attacker could use
this issue
to cause
mircea_popescu: Ilja van Sprundel discovered
that libXfont incorrectly handled font
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla: any posting a banable offense << i
thought
this forum already existed ? i haven't posted in it since 2011
