HeySteve: Putin
tried
to get a regional processing centre for credit cards several years back
VanCleef: Putin
the next C.E.O of bitcoin
VanCleef: In an echo of
the Cold War, MasterCard and Visa have stopped processing payments by some Russian banks after
the United States issued sanctions over Russia's recent annexation of Crimea.
chetty: A workbook handed out
to seventh grade students in Springfield, Ill., states
that all Americans must register
their firearms in order
to have a Second Amendment right.
ozbot: So here’s a problem for you… pe
Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
dnivi3: Interesting.
Thanks for
the insight. I gotta go!
mircea_popescu: so in
this sense, you're just getting 100% dividend, except a 35% portion of it is actually worth less
mircea_popescu: and it'd even be better, because you wouldn't be locked into whatever braindamage
they come up with
mircea_popescu: if
they paid out
that 35% you could reinvest it yourself.
mircea_popescu: the fact
that
they reinvest some portion of
the dividends is completely irrelevant.
dnivi3: I am not quite sure how
the arrow in flight paradox relates
to
this.
B007: anyway
time for bed
mircea_popescu: what is
this, logic 101 for people
that haven't mastered
the arrow in flight "paradox" ?
dnivi3: They have a reinvestment plan for
the future,
to increase
their hashrate. 35% of all profit goes
to reinvestment for hash power.
dnivi3: Yes, indeed. However, it is not
the case
though if
the mining operation is intending
to reinvest (something which PETA intends
to do).
VanCleef: thus being worth less as
the network difficulty goes up?
dnivi3: Ah,
that's
true. Hmm, interesting.
VanCleef: so like each share locks you into a hashrate not a percentage of
the companies
total hashing power
ozbot: The problem with PMBs, ie “Perpetual Mining Bonds” pe
Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
dnivi3: PMB? Not sure what
that means,
to be honest. Care
to explain?
VanCleef: isn't petamine just a PMB
tho?
dnivi3: @micea_popescu: OK, what is
that supposed
to
tell me? @VanCleef:
there are some decent funds on Havelock, for example Peta Mine.
mircea_popescu: Morgan: Before money or anything else. Money cannot buy it … a man I do not
trust could not get money from me on all
the bonds in Christendom.
VanCleef: i wish
there was something decent
to invest in
dnivi3: Sure, but
their business does not seem
to
thrive anyways so I'd rather pull out. What do you consider
the chief consideration?
mircea_popescu: dividends aren't really
the chief consideration in investments.
dnivi3: Seems like I jumped on
the
train a bit
too early
thinking
that
the price would rise (which it did for a little while). I am dumping my shares, can't justify
the investment with regards
to
their shitty dividen.
cazalla: perhaps volunteer work is an opportunity
to earn some wot
mircea_popescu: i don't recall why
the chan log only starts from april 2013, but prolly cause lazy
mircea_popescu: you'll have
to bug kako, and probably volunteer a lot of work
cazalla: nice
timing mircea_popescu, do you have logs prior
to 26-04-2013?
cazalla: jurov: are
they online anywhere?
jurov: (i do have some such
too)
jurov: cazalla, kako said he has
them but
they need cleaning up
chetty: cryptoflood, maybe spend some
time reading
the logs
chetty: hello cryptoflood
this
tends
to be a quiet
time of day here
cryptoflood: Hey guys, Never really have chat here before just lurked, but I've been learning
the ropes for a while now. Lost my last identity due
to learning ignorance.
Trying
to build my WOT rating back up.
cazalla: mircea_popescu: is
there an archive of logs prior
to 26-04-2013?
Neil: Hmm, higher
than
that I
think.
The 16% is looking a little close.
KRS-One: dignork: not debating
that..more or less a contrast
to using military force..dont look
too much into what i'm saying.
dignork: US is dropping sanctions in hope
that people will revolt, and overthrow Putin, surely it will save lives
dignork: KRS-One when did it happen
that economic sanctions saved people lives?
KRS-One: yeah
that was more or less my point
chetty: Its a global economy, all
these guys are
tied
together, one economy doesn't go down alone
KRS-One: Word is
that if serious sanctions are imposed
the Russian economy could crash. Jeez we need
to work
toward global economic growth and
this isnt going
to help. Hope at least it will save lives.
Namworld: How serious it gets, not going
to speculate on
that.
Namworld: I'm just referring
to US-Russia bitching each other once again, which is actually happening.
Namworld: Oh,
that
text doesn't matter. If it's FUD it doesn't matter either.
dignork: Namworld,
try reading
the same
text
twice, it's FUD. Punchline is Jay Carney's phrase from
two days ago
Namworld: There is a
touch of Cold in
the air.
Namworld: So anyway, yes, it seems
the US-Russia clusterfuckshowfest is returning.
diametric: oh was showing my wife
the command when she glanced over
BCB: ozbot, are
they PM's girls
cazalla: well, she didn't
take
the
time
to register her nick
KRS-One: someone needs
to delete
these black and whites..damn
benkay: lame
that's
the same one!
KRS-One: i
think
the singer is ice cube's cousin or something
KRS-One: I love
that song Mistadoblina lol its good
nubbins`: we've got a rush job lined up for
tomorrow and we won't get
the final content for
the posters until like 4am ;0
nubbins`: just went downstairs
to reclaim and recoat some screens -- found
two fresh ones already coated and ready
to burn
benkay: right up
there with "sometimes
the best mobile strategy is no mobile strategy"
benkay: let me
tell you something, dear client, you must actually sell your product.
nubbins`: innocently add analytics
to a website, next
thing you're spending your weeks
tweaking goal funnels
nubbins`: it
took weeks
to figure out what
the fucking stats and graphs represented
nubbins`: we used
this one analytics package at my last job from -- i
think -- adobe
nubbins`: lel yeah even without getting
to
the second word in
the product name
nubbins`: google analytics is at least easy
to implement, but people have strong opinions on it
benkay: is
there a non-horrible web analytics operation?
benkay: ha yeah excellent idea, nubbins`,
ty. fixing
that's been on my agenda for a minute now
benkay: javascript: it's
totally lisp
nubbins`: i.e. put
the <sup> of
the footnote number inside
the <p> of
the footnote
text, so it doesn't put a huge break in
there
nubbins`: you might want
to adjust
the way footnotes are presented
too
nubbins`: javascript, language of
tomorrow
benkay: nanotube's generally amenable
to not horrible ideas.
nubbins`: i
tell ya,
the
things i do for
this ` ;(
nubbins`: and convinced nanotube
to urlencode nicks so my rating page would display as nubbins%60 and not break clients
nubbins`: i actually added nubbins without a `
to my highlight list because i was missing so many pings

radan: are
there btc index funds?
BCB: dexX7: bitcointa.lk is pretty fast
too.
