Shakespeare: so for 9 hours over
the ocean guess who I get seated with
fluffypony: "$22 billion/[(310 million people)(12 years)(~$5,000/person/year)]=0.0012. $22 billion would meet about 0.12% of
the health insurance costs for 12 years. Actual cost would be $18.6
trillion. Health insurance would have
to cost $5.91 per person per year for $22 billion
to cover everyone for 12 years."
bounce: curiously, a load of stolen garlic got recovered (border agents smelled something), and
the value reported sounded like
they used wholesale prices, not "supermarket prices".
fluffypony: also
the
third picture is an actual museum
bounce: apt,
though. consider what happens
to reported prices,
the so called "street value"
fluffypony: "A raid of his home in
the wealthy neighborhood of Mexico City produced what police described as "the largest single drug cash seizure
the world has ever seen." Almost $207 million sat in
the house in cash. Seven high-powered firearms were also in
the house,
the New York
Times reported."

bounce: or about 2 gigagram. give or
take.
bounce wonders where
the 18bn figure came from.
bounce: oh, apparently misremembered, only 207mn usd. still, what's an underground bunker or
two cost
these days?
bounce: what was
that picture again, of some narco guy's mansion with on
the order of 18bn in usd and assorted further currencies in various places, down
to simply stacked in a room. one'd
think
that's enough
to buy an underground bunker
to store
the stuff.
fluffypony: turbo_ac100: maybe we can get #justmanticorethings
trending?
bounce: well, not so secret. was another "discovery" from some security blogging company or other; buncha roossians had started
their own coin
mircea_popescu: lol i wonder if
there exists a secret underground ScamCon
thestringpuller: i dunno corsets are expensive, classy and sexy all at
the sametime
mircea_popescu: btw, i kinda have a bet with mpoe-pr as
to who shows up here first, asciilifeform or
thickasthieves.
thestringpuller: mp doesn't go
to many nerd conventions where
the girls cosplay in steampunk with corsets galore
mircea_popescu: i dunno dood, she was wearing a corset so it kinda looked
to me like a playboy bunny of yore
turbo_ac100: So why not
the manticore
then? #justargumentumecontrariothings
thestringpuller: when mp is wrong it's usually on something
that doesn't matter
turbo_ac100: OF COURSE it works without
the flood issues... *sigh*
fluffypony: "Sure, but a new CEO would suffice
to reestablish
trust."
turbo_ac100: trying again (i know right now I'm not authed).
There is a flood message I'm gonna reproduce now

cgcardona_: gotta find
the logs for btc-otc and see what
the hell happened on
those days.
fluffypony: kanzure:
try ghosting yourself as a
test :-P
kanzure: does
this mean i'm dreaming
cgcardona_: hopefully i can work something out w/ Anduck
to find out what happened.
fluffypony: yeah, Anduck will remove
the negrating once you get hold of him
cgcardona_: but i guess its good
that I found out now
cgcardona_: fluffypony:
thanks for
the help.
that
totally blows.
fluffypony: well not kick
them off, I
think it forces a nick change
to GuestXXXXX
bounce views nickserv as rather fascist already, nevermind nick enforcing. it's
the
thing
to do on here, but, you know. can also argue
that with only gribble it'd give more incentive
to check with gribble first and foremost, and
to accept no substitutes.
cgcardona_: so now
that I have it set
to enforce it will make someone enter my nickserv each
time and if not kick
them off of my nick?
fluffypony: although WHY
that isn't
the default on Freenode is beyond me
cgcardona_: you mean
that I don't have nickserv set
to enforce my nick registration?
bounce: why didn't you get
the nick without _ released and use
that? you can still do
that, by
the by.
bounce: you don't have it set
to enforce it,
too
bounce: why don't you ask him? op on -otc. could be someone nicksquatted you and he was a little
too enthousiastic
cgcardona_: who is Anduck ?
they gave me a -10 on
the wot. wot a dick
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla just so you know, bitlord is better
than world's #1 dad.
gribble: Rating entry successful. Your rating for user mircea_popescu has changed from 1
to 1.
fluffypony: cgcardona_: kakobrekla is
the channel owner
cgcardona_: I
think
that (with regards
to
the W3C) bitcoin's biggest lacking fundimental is
that it's not a W3C
tech.
cgcardona_: I still remember when Hixie was leader of
the HTML5 working group and he said it was gonna
take
till 2019!
jurov: benkay yup... kinda "mini-con",
though :D
jurov: ..and sweat and bood and
tears and bile and urine and...
cgcardona_: MP - yea I'm *never* surprised when
the leader of a working group predicts something will 'take years'
cgcardona_: actually i
thought it might be M. Anus Porny
cgcardona_: fluffypony: i figured
that we all were :)
