mircea_popescu: but anyway, in his case, maintaining offices in
two states, he's setting himself up for
the bomb
mike_c: oh right, you explained
to him
that a business
that just needs capital has no competitive advantages.
benkay: could just be buying leads, although where capital's going
to come
to develop
them is anyone's guess-JUST KIDDING HAVELOCK
mike_c: yeah, we discussed. read
the logs already ;)
mircea_popescu: rent guy was going
to get some north carolina similar service
mike_c: a random 50% pop after
this new PO is announced..
mircea_popescu: i still don't understand
the merger idea
too well,
tbh.
mike_c: i don't presume
that at all. but it's either
that, or a complete scam.
benkay: past shareholders aren't going
to be allowed
to sell at
that price, mike_c
mike_c: benkay: maybe it's like an acquisition rumor. why not buy all
the lower priced shares if you know it's going
to be forced
to 75.
mircea_popescu: one day people will be quoting
this shit and laughing at me.
mike_c: this
terminology. you can only ipo once!
that's why
they call it "initial"
mircea_popescu: and i fucking need
to stop calling subsequent offerings "ipos"
mircea_popescu: mike_c
there's a different problem
there : if
they ipo'd at same price as before
they'd have a fiat dilution on
their hands.
assbot: Last
trade for RENT on HAVELOCK was at 0.00749997 BTC [+]
benkay: o but haven't you heard mike_c
the market price is now near
the next "i"plol price!
mike_c: referring
to new ipo at higher
than market price
ThickAsThieves: psterryl, i dont
think i have an answer in
that regard
mike_c: pankkake:
that is havelock.. see RENT, see NEOBEE, see ..
mircea_popescu: pankkake isn't
that basically
the bitcoin gem "idea" ?
pankkake: maybe I should create an exchange where you can only
trade if
trade.value > lasttrade.value
psterryl: yeah im just wondering what constitutes "suspicious
trading activity"
mircea_popescu: e Freud studied and have all
those people looking at you and checking up on you.
That's
the kind of help you need. Not
the once a week for eighty bucks. No. You need a
team. A
team of psychiatrists working round
the clock
thinking about you, having conferences, observing you, like
the way
they did with
the Elephant Man.
That's what I'm
talking about because
that's
the only way you're going
to get better.
mircea_popescu: JERRY: I don't even want
to
talk about it anymore. What were you
thinking? What was going on in your mind? Artistic integrity? Where, where did you come up with
that? You're not artistic and you have no integrity. You know you really need some help. A regular psychiatrist couldn't even help you. You need
to go
to like Vienna or something. You know what I mean? You need
to get involved at
the University level. Like wher
psterryl: ThickAsThieves: " i dont know whether he's one of
the people suspected"
benkay: mircea_popescu: not only do
they read yahoo boards,
they also go after 15 yo's
mircea_popescu: why are
they even involved in
this for
the love of christ.
mircea_popescu: so basically
the shill brigade is arguing
this
theory whereby indefinite suspensions are a good
thing.
mircea_popescu: sec definitely spends its
time reading yahoo finance boards o.I
mircea_popescu: "People
think
that anything goes on
the internet, but if Neobee was a legit stock under
the jurisdiction of
the SEC, all
the FUD spreaders on
the internet would be locked up VERY QUICKLY for
the crap
they have been pulling recently."
copumpkin: okay, can someone pump up S.MPOE
to 1 btc each?
mircea_popescu: "Also, he
tried
to sell
these(whoevers') shares under false pretense. I believe it was financial hardship?"
mircea_popescu: copumpkin well if you organise a btc festival
that nets 150k coins you'll definitely end up with more stds
than i ever had.
ThickAsThieves: btcapples seems
to be
the only guy
to ever conduct a forum-based sale of NEOBEE shares
through
the LMB platform
decimation: apparently
there is sufficient fuel remaining
to re-open
the gox chumpatron
copumpkin: then I can finally be richer
than mircea_popescu
pankkake: "p.s: notice name of
the seller "btcapples". A notorious spammer
troll connected
to Mpex. "
mircea_popescu: decimation no,
these are "the community". according
to
themselves.
decimation: so are
these
the deer
that walk up
to
the hunter and kneel down?
mircea_popescu: Question:Would you send money or bitcoins
to MtGox when it re-opens? (Voting closed: March 27, 2014, 03:11:32 PM) Yes 34 (43%)
ozbot: Would you send money or bitcoins
to MtGox when it re-opens? (poll)
decimation: Perhaps
this is also related
to
the "beetle man" attitude
decimation: I'm
told
that most cows line up
to be milked
mike_c: decimation: not necessarily a bad deal for
the engineers. lot
to be said for liking what you work on.
decimation: I
think
there was a discussion on
this channel awhile back about
the national security implications of cowgut in WWI Germany
mircea_popescu: dairy revolution ensured
the supremacy of europe. milking is big, man.
Musk: well
the Neo fud seems over for now.. :3
decimation: reading reviews of people who work at SpaceX, it's obvious
the business model is "milk underpaid labor from engineers who like "space" on facebook"
mircea_popescu: what
the... did i lose interwebs or did everyone somehow inexplicably shut up for
two minutes
mircea_popescu: Musk well, imagine how cool it'd be if
the front window'd show
the explosion parameters in futura font
decimation: maybe we can wrap everyone in a
titanium shell so
they don't experience hardship in life
Musk: mircea_popescu, he's busy with exploding
Tesla's
benkay: subject of more easily achievable sensor markets, check out
the new client
decimation: I
think
the angle here is
that
the "my startup life" folks in california want
to jump directly
to full automation. Why not mine
the more easily achievable sensor augmentation market?
mircea_popescu: people would be all over your shit. 100mn of
them
too, because nothing gets a guy off quite like having
the girl
that's about
to give him a blowjob
think he's batman
mircea_popescu: this i
think is a start-up idea right here, sell window + sensor kids for
the aftermarket.
decimation: ideally you have car-mounted sensors without any blockage from
the columns in
the vehicle
kanzure: i've never paid for a speeding
ticket
decimation: I
think a competent driver with a good measurement overlay coupled with a radar/laser rangefinder would be more safe in a variety of conditions
mircea_popescu: do you know what 5k sq feet of floor space + garages cost in a SANE PART of
the world ?
mircea_popescu: decimation
the insulting part is
they're dropping
the optical viewfinder ;/
mike_c: well, overlays would be more of a see-through augmentation
thing, not a closed off VR experience, no?
decimation: I find
that 'modern' cameras with giant LCD's are universally worse
than
the old-fashioned viewfinders with baffles
mike_c: who wants
to read in VR anyway?
mike_c: ah. don't know whether
the rows are staggered. i didn't know
there were displays like
that.
decimation: "how can we shape
the bottom line
today?"
decimation: I bet some mba management directed
that
mircea_popescu: decimation or not
take out
the 0.01 cent plastic stoppers
kanzure: decimation: i
think
that was before fpgas were on
the market
mircea_popescu: mike_c he knows what he's asking. you can't really read on
the
things
decimation: That 'therac-25' incident is interesting,
thanks for
the
tip. If you are making a 'firmware interlock' for a radiation machine, I would
think you would at least make it in
TTL or on an FPGA or something.
mike_c: well, i assume not square pixels since
there's a lens right in front of your eye.
ozbot: Chaos - Battle of
the Wizards pe
Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
kanzure: asciilifeform: so why is everyone such a fuckup with making
these?
