Vexual: thats good, bcause the big boss bouncere will watch with glee as you fracture an ocular and a finger and get bruised, and when the fight is over, he will quickly and deftly remove a tooth or two to signal the other apes that you have been warnerd
truffles: "as that thing that makes me their superior and them my inferiors" knew he thought he was superior now its in words :D
Vexual: as long as we remember we are all just flange couplings
KRS1: everyone in the US thinks you guys are "red necks" or "Bogans" as you would call them.
Vexual: as you can imagine i move a lot
Vexual: not it really is as hot as the bowls of hell here, so i must abscond to buy another keg of coolant, but think well young benkay
Vexual: as a wanna be hpster sorcerer, i wish you good luck finding half of the titles aoutside my own library
Vexual: strikes me as anarchistic
nubbins`: and some digital printing as well
nubbins`: but we do wholesale orders for customers as well as hawk our own stuff retail
Vexual: im starting up a bitcoin legal firm, as soon as i can work out the word marco that puts a letterhead at the top with the words "Flee immediately!" as the message.
kakobrekla: >>Kakobrekla is the slanderous soul that I haven't ignored because I have to report so many of his posts. Now that this thread is turning against him he (or a mod, as usual) deleted these later posts, he should stop with the rambling because nobody listens to him.
mod6: oh and btw, eulora v0.0.3 worked & started up fine for me on linux... but the server wasn't up. but as far as the package... it unpacked and started up no problem.
nubbins`: as a Foreigner (with a capital F), it was both good and bad
nubbins`: pankkake: koreans and japanese are more similar in features as well as in the way their language sounds
assbot: The eagle never lost so much time as when he submitted to learn from the crow.
mircea_popescu: benkay well obviously equity is capital at risk. bad things can happen. ideally the bad things happen as a result of legitimate business ventures rather than beerkegging obviously.
mircea_popescu: as far as forum investing is concerned... that first approximation is great really.
benkay: and that btc hits the book as an asset
mircea_popescu: which means equity increases at least at the same rate as the float.
mircea_popescu: because new shares are sold for at least as much as your current shares are worth
mircea_popescu: "chief among them, that i'm a fucktard who shouldn't be even close to doing anything of the sort, as i've clearly proven by the thick cluelessness of the foregoing."
kakobrekla: >On some level I feel your pain. I've long wanted to start a bitcoin-settled version of Intrade (no, bitbets/betsofbitcoin/etc are not even close to being the same thing) and an exchange-cleared market for hashrate futures. But as a US citizen and resident it's illegal for me to do these things for at least a dozen different reasons.
Ademan: mircea_popescu: 30 BTC is steep as hell, is there anything against pooling and/or "reselling" access?
mircea_popescu: ;;later tell benkay: so "authorized float" means "that as what we sold at ipo", or pre-ipo as described on cryptome << no, it means the total # of shares actually having been issued. this starts as that which was sold at ipo, increases every time someone executes a stock warrant and every time the company issues more shares.
Ademan: Does anyone know what the current status of bASIC-MINING is? As best I can tell from the bitcointalk thread, the operator is totally MIA.

benkay: ("you're fucked" - erudite as always)
benkay: it's this whole idea of ideas as opposed to aesthetics
nubbins`: there's no better way for me to guarantee that if i send you a document, it'll look exactly the same to you as it does to me
mike_c: they created it like that out of habit, not out of a thought-out decision as to what would be best these days.
benkay: so "authorized float" means "that as what we sold at ipo", or pre-ipo as described on cryptome
pankkake: As I gather, the MPEx PR department currently consists of one person, paid to post pictures of pretty girls in Bitcoin forums.
nubbins`: no, i thought you were asking the crowd, not suggesting it as a measure
Namworld: I don't think that qualifies as underprivileged...
mircea_popescu: merely the notion that you could have negatives in what's supposed to work as a proportionate scale...
pankkake: you're not seing it like them. for example, I bet an artist who sings about forests (and earns millions) would be less privileged (as in "i like you better") than a business owner making minimum wage
jurov: gpg does identify it as something being encrypted by some key, but not sure if it can check whether it isn't corrupt

mircea_popescu: what else is civilisation as misunderstood in the us all about ?
asciilifeform: problem, as often is, sinecures attract time-servers.
asciilifeform: how many have touched so much as algebra.
asciilifeform: those are a dime a dozen in paul graham's zoo. how many have so much as heard of landau & lifschitz.
asciilifeform: problem, as always, is with quality, not quantity.
mircea_popescu: as in https://www.google.com/search?q=eve+mining&complete=0&source=lnms&tbm=isch
ThickAsThieves: what better way to travel than as a rock
mircea_popescu: benkay it's ridiculous how it works, price moves as soon as there's a large option play
nubbins`: as well as the fact that he's tricked the t-shirt buying public into thinking that a sweatshop in LA is the ethical way to make tees
nubbins`: as well as the fact that he's a sleazeball
nubbins`: both those reasons, as well as the fact that his products are shit with huge price tags
nubbins`: i'll leave a google image search of "dov charney", owner of AA, as an exercise to the reader
mircea_popescu: strange thing is that they're not even expensive. in ppp terms people spent about 10x on shoes 100 years ago as what it'd cost to get a decent pair today
mircea_popescu: this is about as bad as the us, really.
nubbins`: now, this is glossing over the fact that the INCUMBENT MAYOR received the same # of votes as a 19 year old child

mircea_popescu: firedrops great problem to have as long as you're not an american living in the us
coingenuity: firedrops: we've been in an all-out war with the banking community, as have been most large bitcoin companies in the last few months... my apologies for the lax communication, as you can imagine with the delays our support guys have been swamped
mircea_popescu: myeah. it's what i gathered as to the explosion of forum complaints. poor communication skills on one hand coupled with mean/marginalyl dishonest "customers" on the other
sylencr: Same developer as input.io
kleeck: Or as my troll friends call them, "CrimeCoins".
jurov: and there really still were 020s till yest... so i'm not so much behind times as i thought upon first moment
asciilifeform: "The VC used this recovered equipment to equip there own rather meager supplies as would any good guerilla force. The intercepted document reinforced this practice, exhorting the VC troops to
mircea_popescu: as everything was slightly different
mircea_popescu: otherwise it's about as good.
asciilifeform: only part that surprised me was the $50k. might as well 'owe parking fine? no passport.'
mircea_popescu: Those “other purposes” have come to include a little-known amendment recently introduced by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid that would allow the State Department to revoke, deny or limit passports for anyone the Internal Revenue Service certifies as having “a seriously delinquent tax debt in an amount in excess of $50,000.”
BingoBoingo: As far as I know Outlook has, or at least had a GPG extension. Maybe they ported PyMPEx to an Excel macro?
asciilifeform: peace as in: 'rest in...'
asciilifeform: mostly botnet traffic, as far as i can tell.
asciilifeform: (as classic nsa clearly does not, if the 3rd tor 'leak' is to be believed.)
mike_c: congress will make bitcoin extremely easy in the US as soon as they figure out it can hide campaign contributions
BingoBoingo: I imagine the futures will pick up as the gem chasers continue their thing.
Namworld: Yes, it's almost as if was a country.
mircea_popescu: and also gmaxwell isn't a rank imbecile, as certain evil people might have you believe.
mod6: yeah, those are just probably inserted as a strip during or before the lamination process.
nubbins`: the canadian notes have texture as well
mod6: mircea_popescu: do you mean 'faces' as in the artwork on the note, or as in some sort of poly scuffing or 'roughness' on the surface?
mircea_popescu: In February 2009, "Dex" called a KFC restaurant in Manchester, New Hampshire. Posing as a manager from the corporate office, he persuaded employees to douse the building with fire suppression chemicals and to then proceed outside, remove all of their clothing and urinate on each other (he claimed the chemicals were caustic and this would render them inert).
benkay: as i suspected, argentinian REIT is doa.
asciilifeform: so i suppose somebody did have them packaged as bga, and now shoestring resellers are having a bit of headache.
asciilifeform: this is an asic house, right? afaik all of the current asics ship as bga...
firedrops: as long as there is government..
mircea_popescu: anyway, i'm persuaded there won't be such a thing as long term btc without such a thing as nsa.
the20year1: Sure, and that's the currency risk as always
mircea_popescu: inasmuch as it even sports a us flag, i;m sure it's an equal opportunity fleecer, go ahead.

kakobrekla: its, as tortila would say, de-leeted
