ThickAsThieves: if you need help getting auth'd and all
that jazz, people in here can help
bounce: because
the cash isn't really cash and stuck across borders and more of
that bs?
ozbot: With all
that cash, why is Apple borrowing
to raise its dividend and buybacks? | PandoDaily
fluffypony: ThickAsThieves:
they provided a snurl'd link
to
the SEC filing in
the OP

fluffypony: "Just be happy
that nobody has mentioned
the Whistleblower program, which provides a 10-30% bounty on SEC enforcement actions
that result from
tips on possible SEC violations. With all of
the faucet mongers on
this forum, I imagine at least one or
two of
them would spend a few minutes on
the SEC website for a payday down
the road."
random_cat_: too bad halfreward does not mention
the block number

ThickAsThieves: "A unique category of property is money, which in some legal systems is
treated as
tangible property and in others as intangible property."
thestringpuller: ThickAsThieves: why
try
to put a square in a round hole << i've said
this for years. but now i'm starting
to understand people are so stupid
they don't realize
they are stupid
ThickAsThieves: hell
they dont even have
to do
that, maybe just go ahead and let it be multiple
things in law
fluffypony: so basically: "Bitcoin is money. Or property. Or a medium of exchange. Or a store of value. Or gold. Dependent on whether we want
to prosecute or
tax you or both."
Naphex: so easy
to understand, and see what's going on ;]
fluffypony: Apocalyptic: no clue if
that's his nick here, I'd assume so
punkman: meanwhile, namecheap answers: "Unfortunately,
technical department informed us
that you should use only static IPs wih API. Once
the IP is changed automatically
the API will fail."
punkman: I'll
try
their API, had it on some
todo list a while ago
fluffypony: lemme play with
this little python snippet and see what I can do
fluffypony: if you want I'll setup a little service
to do it for you, we're running ghostscript on
the one server for PDF invoices
mircea_popescu: someone should make a website
that works just like google
translate,
mircea_popescu: rmation. But if you
trade on
the information, is it insider
trading ?
The answer as best I understand
the law is NO. It is not insider
trading. Why ? Because
the CEO did not ask you
to keep
the information confidential. Nor did he ask you not
to
trade on
the information. You have no responsibility
to him. You can
trade and
tell
the world about his deal if you would like."
mircea_popescu: "My understanding of insider
trading law is
that in order for it
to be insider
trading,
there must be some violation of
trust. In other words, if someone walked up
to you and said “Im
the CEO of
this public company and I’m about
to make
the biggest cash sale in
the history of
the company and we will blow away all wall street numbers and you should buy
the stock”.
That is without question material, non-public info
cazalla: mircea_popescu: 32 As an aside,
there are options contracts for delivery of bitcoins and bitcoin - denomina
ted commodity futures being sold at
the MPEx Exchange . Recent news reports suggest
that
the Commodity and Futures
Tr ading Commission in
the US is evaluating its role in derivatives contracts
that are denominated in bitcoins.
mircea_popescu: why is
the web made by imbeciles! srsly, how hard is
to
think
this one
through guys!
mircea_popescu: holy shit
there's 1mn pdf
to html/etc converters online, NONE of
them will
take an url as input
mircea_popescu: decimation: a parent who so acts
today would probably be reported
to
the FBI << i had a chemistry lab. complete with strong acids and everything, i had like a pint of vitriol oil.
mircea_popescu: decimation: mirceau_popescu:
the
treatment of individuals << dude you srsly
typed
that out ?!
fluffypony: ;;later

fluffypony: I'll
track back and look at it

ozbot: My First SEC
Trial
Transcript Has Some Real Comedy and a Message
to Mary Jo White – SEC vs Schvach
mike_c: a worthy read. many lulz at
the expense of
the sec.
decimation: Later, Norris recalls, he asked Cray
to write a five-year plan for CDC.
The result: ''Five year goal: Build
the biggest computer in
the world. One year goal: Achieve one-fifth of
the above.''
TestingUnoDosTre: isn't chemistry one of
the most dangerous activities for kids>
decimation: a parent who so acts
today would probably be reported
to
the FBI
TestingUnoDosTre: that's where all
the fastest internet connections are... under da sea
decimation: I
think
the best feature of an undersea journey across
the ocean would be
the forced disconnection from
the world. Seymour Cray said he got his best ideas digging a
tunnel under his backyard.
TestingUnoDosTre: is it possible
to check w/ nickserv if someone has
taken a nickname?
decimation: One of
the best ways for a violator
to demonstrate
that its violation was not willful is
to self-disclose it. Indeed, in recognition of
this fact and in order
to encourage self-disclosures of systemic problems,
the Department of Justice has followed a policy of foregoing prosecutions of companies
that make complete, and self-initiated voluntary disclosures.1 (The same policy does not apply
to individuals.)
TestingUnoDosTre: danielpbarron I can not offer commentary on
trustworthiness of dignork. He helped me sign up a gpg key on my
tablet while I was
traveling for work. I have never done any business with him
benkay: davout: who is
this Sorcier_FXK ?
benkay: welcome, Sorcier_FXK - what brings you
to
this vile armpit of
the internet?
mircea_popescu: heh.
the adversaries have it all mapped out, but
thanks.
mircea_popescu: "Any positive or negative response on a request-by-request basis would allow our adversaries
to accumulate information and draw conclusions about NSA's
technical capabilities, sources, and methods."
benkay: well if you had
the bits, why not just recompile?
mircea_popescu: ht hours
to stand down
their armies before I nuked
them back
to
the Cambrian. I probably wouldn't euthanize old people, but I might force abortions on
the stupid."
mircea_popescu: "I can't even weigh in on what passes for political discourse in
this country because I would actually do what
the crazies are accusing Obama of doing. Seriously: I would
take away everyone's guns, force public healthcare on everyone, put all
the bankers in jail, engage in a strategic, federally-funded campaign
to eradicate religion,
turn us into a socialist state, and give every annoying country in
the world forty-eig
mircea_popescu: hm. but i guess
this actually works, cause im not really a coder. a well.
mircea_popescu: ridiculous. i beat
the shit out of my systems. i broke a leg off
the
table
to hammer at a monitor once.
mircea_popescu: "
The only reason coders' computers work better
than non-coders' computers is coders know computers are schizophrenic little children with auto-immune diseases and we don't beat
them when
they're bad."
benkay: AND CAN'T
TELL IF IT WAS A GOOD DEAL
benkay: i
traded piss
tests and
the risk of digit loss for pressed shitboard
benkay: "So no, I'm not required
to be able
to lift objects weighing up
to fifty pounds. I
traded
that for
the opportunity
to
trim Satan's pubic hair while he dines out of my open skull so a few bits of
the internet will continue
to work for a few more days."
benkay: who was it
that said programming is
the art of
telling people what
to make
the computer do?
benkay: "ERROR: Attempted
to parse HTML with regular expression; system returned Cthulhu.
dexX7: well,
then you should go ahead and correct it maybe?
pankkake: and
the online documentation is wrong in some places
