benkay: robo combat's a bit of a
trope at
this point,
the20year
the20year: 1 on 1 robot wars
to settle boundary disputes?
chetty: this may be
the war where everyone stayed home
mircea_popescu: there's a us base in constanta, which i guess
the us will have
to defend
the20year: poland has 500k+ in reserve, mobilizing 7k for practice doesn't seem
too huge
to me
MisterE: what will Romania do if fighting breaks out in
the Ukraine with Crimea?
the20year: i
thought
they began mobilization last week
mircea_popescu: roughly
the equivalent of mpoe-pr going
tyre kicking around berkshire with stuff like "o
this is a good investment you bigmouth ?!?! what sort of odds do you give bitcoi nbeats you ? 100:1 ? "
mircea_popescu: but on
the heels of
the jimmothy O I BET YOU !!11 10 bitcents!11
rithm: beets stain my
teeth
rithm: bets on
tops of bets!?!?!
the20year: and
thankfully over all
this volatility we've cashed out at higher BTC:USD values
benkay: interesting how RENT performs as it converts its BTC-denominated assets
to USD-denominated assets.
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves check it out,
this dood would like
to make a bet provided mpoe-pr doesn't pay for it in bitcoin and she agrees
that no bet can be made.
the20year: Well , it's half a mill per occupant,
then premises of no less
than 80%. best
thing on earth would be for a house
to be burnt
to
the ground without anyone hurt :D it's amazing
to me how much
they insure our properties for
the20year: We on
the otherhand carry half a million dollars on each property, and
then are applying for a $2m-$3m blanket for
the company itself
the20year: I'm gonna bet
they didn't carry insurance
mike_c: having your garage burnt down could do
that :)
the20year: I have
to
take a look at it, we might be able
to get it for $20k or so.
they bought it in 2006 and managed it quite poorly.
tenant burnt down a garage and
they gave it up
mike_c: i'll
take
the duplex for 27.
the20year: One of
the candidates we barely miss was just re-listed.

the market for $119k
Apocalyptic: the20year, where are you buying
these flats ?
mike_c: the20year: and congrats on 6.
the ipo was helpful
then?
the20year: Yeah, definately. really would like
to do a flip here soon but i don't have a any good candidates for
that right now. Got a few duplexes I'm looking at, one is $27k
the other is $39.9k
mike_c: i
think you can build source control into an altcoin.
moiety: i
thought i always wanted decentralized on everything?
the20year: mike_c: i'm not sure where hte last update was here. We have 6
total properties either purchased or in contract. closed on #4
today, supposed
to close on #5 any day now. #6 closes
the 7th of next month
Apocalyptic: mike_c, also
the fact
that svn handles branches awfully
moiety: its specifically for giving remote ssh access
to one domain only rather
than
the whole hosting account. i can use git for
that?
mircea_popescu: ;;google are you
the simply outrageous brain specialist
benkay: you don't even have
to wrap your head around
the monster
that was mpoe.
benkay: give it a year,
the mindfucks slow down eventually but don't stop.
radan: the potential of all
this is only just now dawning on me
TestingUnoDosTre: corrupt us politicians should start accepting bitcoin, or maybe
they already do
radan: but only
the saudis know what address
they use :/
radan: or maybe
they already do
moiety: point is
they can be stupid using fiat or btc, it's not
the issue
moiety: fed bought abrin off a
teenager with btc
radan: or
the kind of people who do
that kind of stuff don't know about bitcoin
radan: so either
they do happen
Mats_cd03: why should anything stop people from
those
things
radan: besides
the low daily convertible volume
MisterE: so you have
to shore up your bets as it comes close
to closing
time for
them
mike_c: everybody is going
to get in on
that proposed NBA finals bet as soon as it's approved.
TestingUnoDosTre: radan,
the statement below
the calculator is quite important
to read "after fees, at current weight and assuming no one else bets"
moiety: i can serve cosmopolitans and offer
to burn bras at
the door if required
radan: if some newbie reads
the log and
thinks he can print money based on what I said 10 mins ago, I'd like
to help him out by
telling him it's impossible
moiety: it is a big channel, it was perhaps just all
the eyes
Mats_cd03: you don't have
to
type every
thought
that comes into your head
radan: that can't happen
tho
radan: unless
the bet payouts increase in either direction
moiety: ah, lol i did see
that :P
radan: actually,
that's not possible on any of
the bets up right now
moiety: what name? how did i miss
that :/
radan: let's say
the payout for yes on a given bet is 1.5
moiety: python can just go slither away until i have a dev chained
to a raditor somewhere
benkay: i'm out here

to kill some bison
to feed my people and my damn gun just won't stop pointing at my foot
benkay: javascript and python feel like guns
that just want
to point at my feet
moiety: not hard, just
tedious benkay . i
think i have
the fucking javascript up part
totally down
benkay: pretty sure
that's
the first
thing i learned when i started working with javascript as a matter of fact.
benkay: moiety it can't be
that hard
to learn
to say fucking javascript
radan: it's like a license
to print money
radan: god,
this is awesome
MisterE: benkay: I understand
that as
the first few people who are in share
the winnings
moiety: way more fun
to learn
than say fucking javascript
MisterE: even with
the outcome explaination
MisterE: I do remember briefly reading
the site and what exactly a yes or no could mean was very difficult
to determine sometimes
benkay: i still don't actually understand how
to actually play parimutuel odds
MisterE: the more I hear you guys chatter about it
the more likely will
though heh
mircea_popescu: yeah
this isn't for amateurs. raw power, so it requires solid understanding of what's going on.
MisterE: I'm afraid
to look into it another
time sink!
mircea_popescu: perfectly legit way
to make cash. liquidity providing, as it were.
MisterE: you have a fee so you're always out
then
mircea_popescu: MisterE no actually, betting both sides is
the way
to play.
MisterE: betting both sides,
the house loves you :)
