dhenson: Of course, she did run over him with
the car.
dhenson: A friend of mine's wife was arrested for assault, so not sure
that's known by my local police if
true.
dhenson: They would only need 1 in 3
to speak english. With all of
the american
tv programming, I could believe it.
adolf_fishler: fact: a woman in Afganistan has more freedoms
than a male in America.
Mats_cd03: thats dubious, have you ever interacted with chinese speakers
that learned ESL?
dhenson: fact: soon, China will be
the #1 english speaking country in
the world.
VanCleef: fact: a woman in Afganistan has more freedoms
than a male in America.
VanCleef: america should just ban
the internet
VanCleef: Putin approval rating is higher in American
than Obama
mircea_popescu: "please believe us when we say
the shit we sell you is worth buying"
FabianB: ThickAsThieves: looks like you can margin
trade on huobi
mircea_popescu: ;;later
tell nubbins` maybe
tshirts with "A loser is You!"
ThickAsThieves: how did people get negative balances? why are
they refunding people in cash?
mircea_popescu: plenty of people
trying
to make a career out of doing
the wrong
thing.
FabianB: just wondered whether i got something wrong or if
they really pay
their stupidest users
mircea_popescu: much like a singer won't win if
they're good.
they must suck
to win, in order
to "represent"
the idiots watching at home.
mircea_popescu: a large part of
the entire "start-up success" fantasy by now is specifically NOT having any sort of
technical merit or actual value
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves somehow
this discussion is a strange rehash of
the older "platinum records / musical
talent"
thing.
FabianB: "Huobi agreed
to make its customers whole again at 70 RMB ($11.29) per LTC for anyone who sold below
that level."
ozbot: Overdose:
The Next Financial Crisis - YouTube
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform lol
the saga of bad crypto never ends does it.
Mats_cd03: wouldnt be
the first
time someone said
that
VanCleef: i
think
these are signs
that market is
topping and everything over valued bubbles etc and could see a decent crash
this year
Diablo-D3: can actually afford
to do business with me
VanCleef: yeh
that candy crush ipo is a joke
VanCleef: id probably invest in
things on kickstarter
ThickAsThieves: there are new laws on
the
table in
the JOBS act I believe
VanCleef: so on kickstarter are you allowed
to sell equity into yourprivate company or nah?
Duffer1: maybe
they want
to offer a vr platform for minigame devs?
Duffer1: also
the sequels
to Leviathan Wakes were pretty disappointing imo
Duffer1: or deliver it on Facebook's
terms
ThickAsThieves: i agree
that Facebook does not seem agile anough
to imitate what google does
pankkake: them being bought by facebook make
them unlikely
to deliver
the advertised product
VanCleef: but yeh anyway another
terrible buy from fb
ThickAsThieves: VanCleef, while
that would be "nice" i see no reason
they should
Duffer1: aren't
they allowed already
through a DPO?
VanCleef: with
the money
that oculoss made with fb
they hsould pay back
the kickstarter peeps
ThickAsThieves: but if Oculos were allowed
to actually crowdfund for equity investors,
the odds are
thats what
they would have done instead
benkay: either way you get
the fartup feels
benkay: a
toss up as
to which is better value: likely worthless paper vs. entertaining gizmo
Duffer1: i believe
that's more an effect of a consumer mindset rather
than a common sense mindset
that would naturally want equity instead of swag
benkay: i
thought
that was
the whole point of kickstarter.
ThickAsThieves: oculus gets $2m
to create
their
thing, sells out for $2b
ozbot: Oculus rises
to a $2B exit while its Kickstarter backers are left with cheap swag | PandoDaily
benkay: i lost several nights of sleep

FabianB: has it been discussed yet why Huobi is paying ppl
that were just
too foolish
to market sell into a
too shallow order book?
ozbot: IRS rules on Bitcoin;
This is actually news - Buttcoin -
The P2P crypto-currency for butts. - Buttco
bounce: bit of a problem
then
that from
the outside you can't see just how
the exchange's innards pick
their condiments
ozbot: Tulip Mania:
The First Bubble [Debt & Doubt - Animation 6] - YouTube
bounce: oh, so
the core devs are at it deliberately
BingoBoingo: With
the config change
to raise
the DB locks
benkay: talk
to
the 'core dev
team' about
that.
bounce: well, yes, but
that's not really
the point.
the reference client perhaps shouldn't be filled with interfaces
that don't work very well.
BingoBoingo: bounce:
They used "features"
that weren't really implemented
bounce: so now we have a bunch
that did
their own coind and customer funds went AWOL. and a bunch
that used
the reference client and customer funds went AWOL. now, digital finance is unforgiving, but I'll say
that it's not purely operator error in a hostile environment; looks like
the machinery is dangerous
too.
Mats_cd03: your negro vernacular is lacking,
