mircea_popescu cuts out the .org and adds a dot before lk in that link, to get https://bitcointa.lk/index.php?topic=99497.msg6465166#msg6465166 which readily resolves to https://bitcointa.lk/threads/asicminer-entering-the-future-of-asic-mining-by-inventing-it.61268/page-972#post-6169327 on a much better forum.
ryepdx: Hiro2: Not sure if this went through the first time, as I'm having connectivity issues. The reason (AFAIK) was to raise capital to produce their next-gen miners and chips. The next round of dividends are projected to come out on May 27th, at which point they'll be moving to a monthly dividend schedule.

asciilifeform: (most folks who complain of burns from playing with biostimulators are getting exactly this)

Hiro2: could anyone tell me why ASICMINER is no longer giving out dividends?
pankkake: is it because browser technology or because google?
davout: see, if marketing was about communicating precise and factual information, then it wouldn't be marketing anymore
davout: if you're a retard that doesn't have a clue you'll take it at face value, if you know what the reactor pattern is and how evented IO is nice you'll read between the lines
fluffypony: so they should pitch it like that
fluffypony: but it's the reactor pattern that rocks
fluffypony: davout: they're saying node.js is fast/scalable/efficient because it's powered by a browser technology
fluffypony: davout: then they should pitch it like that
davout: fluffypony: it's actually the reactor pattern that rocks

BingoBoingo: Then the things you like/dislike about wordpress shape the next choice
BingoBoingo: For blogging the right tool, is usually, probably going to be some wordpress thing.
Mats_cd03: idk anything about the web
fluffypony: "because if it's good enough for your browser, it can for realz handle tens of thousands of concurrent connections!"
fluffypony: "Node.js is the platform which powers Ghost. Being built on Chrome's JavaScript runtime, makes it fast, scalable, and incredibly efficient."

Mats_cd03: you can't train people to operate effectively on low sleep, infanteers have been trying for millennia
thestringpuller: onto bigger and better things I suppose
thestringpuller: damn i'm going to miss MPOE-PR's writing
Mats_cd03: its really not terribly special other than the edge case where you need all the cognitive performance you can get while sustaining on low sleep
Mats_cd03: i remember reading about a poker player consuming ridiculous doses, like close to a gram, because he abused it for so long to gain a perceived edge in training sessions and subsequently tournaments
Mats_cd03: fluffypony: i too have napped on it, but i consume 50mg during waking periods i use it to avoid developing a tolerance
Mats_cd03: iirc this is why usaf pilots are now on provigil regimens instead of amphetamines for long overflight missions

thestringpuller: isn't that an anti-narcoleptic?
thestringpuller: start a pomodoro and force people to stay on topic for at least 25 minutes
fluffypony: but outside of that I drop 100mg Provigil in the morning and I'm fine
thestringpuller: pomodoro helps me to output so much more code
fluffypony: pomodoro is really good for that scenario
fluffypony: otherwise I work on something for 5 minutes and then get distracted by this other thing I need to do
Mats_cd03: my focus technique is to get super baked and do work
fluffypony: I use pomodoro when I've got too much on my plate

asciilifeform: 'in the future, all chairs shall be electric.'
Mats_cd03: why does everything have to be electric is the better question

mircea_popescu: and these are 1993 dollars, pre 5 or so bubbles. prolly 5k in today's obamadollars.
mircea_popescu: I've talked with Unisys by voice and E-mail, and the voice discussion was entirely unsatisfactory as I posted when it happened - basically the Unisys guy said anyone who sells code for $100-$300 a pop was a total _____ for selling it that cheap.
