nubbins`: joke's on you, that doesn't damage my reputation
mircea_popescu: what can i tell you, i'm not mafalda. i figure things out as i go
nubbins`: suppose i call chetty a poopyhead and it turns out this damaged her reputation so badly that she lost a 100btc contract. she decides to sue me via rota, i decline.
nubbins`: well, if you look at it that way, the rota was a solution in search of a problem
Duffer1: what's the incentive to defend yourself ever?
nubbins`: it couldn't lose if it declined to participate
mircea_popescu: so then mpex has to pay the fees if it loses ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: ordinary 'heat pipe' works great, so long as you have a massive sink on the other side. heat pipe can be thought of as a refrigerator without a compressor.
nubbins`: no cost to it? if you lose, it's a 10btc cost
mircea_popescu: yet pc would seem one of the best applications
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: magneto-hydrodynamic coolant pump ? one sees them in patents often, but for some reason never in pc.
mircea_popescu: what prevents someone from suing everyone in sight if there's no cost to it ?
mircea_popescu: nubbins` so what you mean is, make the cases costless ?
mircea_popescu: i wonder why there doesn't exist some sort of magnetic heat extractor device!
nubbins`: mircea_popescu: in the post mortem example, all i see is: mpex receives 100btc, mpex returns 100btc, mpex pays judges 3btc each
pankkake: my case has filters, the case wasn't that dusty after months of operation
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: apple is selling, i think, a machine of just this shape. but, as you can probably guess, i'd rather not buy it.
mircea_popescu: all fans in a tube can't fail at the same time
pankkake: back to the slower passive gpu, which at least still works
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the correct solution to the fan problem is to use fanned tubes
pankkake: yeah, my GPU fan died, and those aren't easy to replace :(
pankkake: though the real annoyance always was the noise of hard drives
mircea_popescu: well you are. inasmuch the defendant passively receives X btc and is then required to return X+e, the entire thing is an extraction engine
asciilifeform: pankkake: i'm about to rent a whole building instead of flat, partly so i can do just this
pankkake: I solved the fan issue by putting the machines in another room than the one I'm in
nubbins`: mircea_popescu well pretty hard to buy off judges if the judges don't get paid any extra for taking the case
asciilifeform: pankkake: show a 100% passive cooled machine that isn't a toy
pankkake: huge aluminum stuff - but they tell you to have case fans though
pankkake: there are some passive heatsinks though
mircea_popescu: nubbins` wouldn't have had any impact in the matter that sunk it
asciilifeform: shame. i have this ancient crackpot dream of being rid of pc fans.
nubbins`: seems to me like if you remove the per-case judge payment and stick to the yearly sum, the rota would involve a whole lot less QQing
pankkake: I'm not sure they actually sold it
asciilifeform: 'zalman' i think it was.
asciilifeform: whatever happened to those folks who sold a $3k (usd) pc chassis-cum-heatsink of solid copper, weighing as much as a man ?
pankkake: I can take better pics of my Data Center: https://unsee.cc/beziru/
asciilifeform: the 6-pin molexes are probably intel's 'p4' too.
asciilifeform: cheaper than having your own heat sinks cast, yes
mircea_popescu: who knows, that may work cheaper
asciilifeform: it wants to have the same mechanicals as a 'xeon'
mircea_popescu: like a girl on 7 inchers. you know she's in pain and likely can't run... but damn that ass.
asciilifeform: hence the quad die.
asciilifeform: it's designed to fit an intel heat sink.
asciilifeform: look at the 'octopus'
asciilifeform: ok i think i get it!
mircea_popescu: but forget the sanity. it pleaseth my eye
asciilifeform: is the author here?
mircea_popescu: imo it's horrid design, you'd have wanted the 4 separated towards corners or something
asciilifeform: why cram them in one?
asciilifeform: that multi-die beast looks like a thermal nightmare though
mircea_popescu: also the central thing.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: cut&paste in cad proggy will do that. symmetric.
peterl: Some cell phones these days have very nice cameras
nubbins`: who knows, maybe they couldn't afford a $99 samsung point-and-shoot because they spent every last dime on legitimate businessy things
gribble: Roman Rota - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_Rota>; Rota Background - CanonLaw.info: <http://www.canonlaw.info/personal_rotademo.htm>; Addresses of courts - Arcibiskupství pražské: <http://www.apha.cz/en/addresses-of-courts-text>
mircea_popescu: ;;google tribunal apostolicum rotae romanae
mircea_popescu: bounce we had something like that, as peterl points out. it failed miserably. http://trilema.com/rota-post-mortem
nubbins`: "let's use a cell phone camera for the photos for our big announcement"
cazalla: "Lol, wrapped some cardboard boxes in inkjet-printed labels, and took a pic of one HF board? Awesome." top kek
BingoBoingo: I thought ROTA was an acronym for Round, Oiled, Tense, Asses
gribble: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=wtmi | wtmi. Way to much information. Often used by women(and somethimes men) to pronounce that something is indeed gross or sickening and they dont want to ...
bounce: no idea what that is and it already smells like WTMI
nubbins`_: fun fact, ROTA was an acronym for Rand of the Ayn
peterl: what is the use of such a thing if it is not real?
nubbins`_: peterl it got too real too quick
BingoBoingo: I suppose a good rule of thumb for any court would be that parties wanting redress from Pankkake are prolly in the wrong
peterl: didnt they have a Rota for that sort of thing?
bounce: well, maybe we need a virtual courts of teh intarwebz, where you can sue WoT usernames and such.
Duffer1: then came to a head today as dotcoin threatened to sue pankkake
nubbins`_: obv a machine translation job

benkay: let's keep this one in reserve for when the SEC gets you, mircea_popescu http://destroyed-and-abandoned.tumblr.com/image/81101546098
benkay: i'll let you know when i find the moose sausage popcorn, nubbins`
Duffer1: i'd eat that
bounce: eutelsat netblock. talk about being out in the boonies.
mircea_popescu: can you write that out again but in your native language ?
dotcoin: if this one user have a loss will pay him if contact me, ask now why make a force back buy, tell you martin the friend of jurov told me we must sell shares there, as we not have need, this i stop trading on cryptostocks that was simple and not any to to i rip of a guy of 0.0005 btc
Duffer1: who was running the pass through?
mircea_popescu: dotcoin it's in the link above. http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=31-03-2014#594053 ☝︎
dotcoin: make a force back i think was for 1 share so can be yes
mircea_popescu: dotcoin so now we get to the part where you issued a stock on cryptostocks and then did a forced buyback for a lower price.
Duffer1: dotcoin I was just reading https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=361852.msg4729286#msg4729286 wasn't sure if that was your name or not. Call me Matt :)
