asciilifeform: why the hurry?
asciilifeform: antephialtic: there is to be a cardano at mp's party. if you really can't wait, you can come and buy that one.
mircea_popescu: uh, whatdid they try to delete ?
antephialtic: think the SEC is going to learn about the Streisand Effect
asciilifeform: or, the slightly more determined, buy/build 'dc-dc' converters, of the kind described previously.
asciilifeform: hence people buy 'regulators' - e.g. the ubiquitous 7805
mircea_popescu: you're only throwing away like .2 or sometyhing
asciilifeform: 'buck converter' is more efficient, in that it works by letting a cap charge to the desired voltage and then empty into another
asciilifeform: you can - this is called 'divider' - but it throws away energy
mircea_popescu: ie, they discharge at a given rate, you can alter their actual voltage by the resistence ?
asciilifeform: which is to say, they are, in the sense that a li cell that's been dead for decades will sometimes measure 3.0
mircea_popescu: can't you get models taht are essentially draw-driven ?
mircea_popescu: get 6 zinc-air together you have about 3 ampere-hour in there.
novusordo: i'm trying to figure out how to power my raspberry pi on 5V to send up in a balloon soon
asciilifeform: barbaric, but you can get them by the dozen
asciilifeform: for the voltage buck
asciilifeform: diametric: you might be able to get away with a re-purposed car->usb converter
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform kinda cool that bitcoin is immune.
asciilifeform: sha1 hash? wonder if those are legally binding
BCB: talk about following the money
asciilifeform: afaik it's only ever done to zap potential competition of 'favorite son' dod contractors.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i hope they did at least a dozen troll secretions/year
BCB: antephialtic, here is the full history of documents: http://ia800904.us.archive.org/35/items/gov.uscourts.txed.146063/gov.uscourts.txed.146063.docket.html
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: getting your patent 'secreted' was once the ultimate crackpot 'street cred' (e.g. flanagan and 'neurophone')
BCB: antephialtic, check this out: https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2F27cadnJ.png&t=538&c=DOo6UCxJ5p8-eg
antephialtic: BCB: you have a link to the original complaint?
[\]: By the end of fiscal year 1991, the number of patent secrecy orders stood at 6,193. Many such orders were imposed on individuals and organizations working without government support. This number shrank for each fiscal year thereafter, until 2002. Since 2002, the number of secrecy orders has grown, with 5,002 secrecy orders in effect at the end of fiscal year 2007.
asciilifeform: diametric: what v to what v ?
diametric: Ademan: i should join that channel, thanks.
BCB: antephialtic, that is the motion for summary judgement
Ademan: diametric: you're not in ##electronics ? Anyways http://www.ttiinc.com/object/Murata-Power-High-Efficiency-Switching-Regulators-LM78xx-Pinouts.html actually *isn't* the one I was thinking of but it's the right idea
mircea_popescu: i didn't know they still bothered
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform they actually patent the secret shit too ?
antephialtic: BCB: no, but I'm going to have a look
[\]: mircea_popescu: I forgot you don't play well in the sandbox.
diametric: should have said tits or gtfo
mircea_popescu: [\\\] well she wanted to be friends.
BCB: antephialtic, have you viewed any of the SEC's workproduct pretaining to the pirateat40 case? It's pretty impressive
[\]: why you gotta be harassing the nice sec lady?
antephialtic: mircea_popescu: let this be a lesson (not to you, but to us) on the importance of using techniques such as merge avoidance, coinjoin & coinswap.
diametric: I'm just curious, the easiest ones I've seen have been the ti simpler switcher ones, but they're not at all a dropin for a 7805
Ademan: like, $10 pricey, if you want them for prototyping and don't summon too much blue smoke they're probably useful though
diametric: Ademan: really? thats interesting, link?
antephialtic: and the bumpkins at the SEC may have been given access to such a tool built by such a contractor.
antephialtic: perhaps the SEC is inept, but there are other agencies in the US government that contract services from non-inept firms to do their dirty work
Ademan: diametric: there's a buck converter that's intended to be a drop in for the 7805 actually, it's a bit pricey though
diametric: anyone have a particular cheap 5v buck converter module on ebay they've had not burn their homes down?
mircea_popescu: so far they have problems spelling their domain name and following their own regulation.
antephialtic: makes you wonder just how far along they are on deanonymization
BCB: SEC has a blockchain parser with you names next to all the addresses.
mircea_popescu: you know, just because i ask for x y z doesn't automatically mean i consider all of these "identification"
antephialtic: the SEC asked you to identify MPEx shareholders of S.DICE, and was willing to accept Name and address OR btc address
antephialtic: mircea_popescu: do you find it curious that they were willing to accept BTC addresses as identification?
antephialtic: ah, nevermind then
moiety: i sreepy, good mew all, whatever your timezone!
antephialtic: if MP thinks he's not breaking any laws, why would he delist it?
Ademan: antephialtic: the SEC?
antephialtic: what happened to S.DICE ?

decimation: In 1897, there lived 345 000 Germans in Ukraine, that was 4,2 % of the population. In 1911, there were 419 000 Germans. ... In spite of it, Germans played an important part in the Ukrainian culture life. Until 1914 many professors at Ukrainian universities were Germans. ☟︎
decimation: here's a link specific to ukraine http://www.lnu.edu.ua/personal/mdlviv/roboty/grmminor.html
decimation: the irony of all this ukrainian nazi talk is that germans were in ukraine for a long time - they were forcibly resettled by Stalin http://www.geocurrents.info/place/russia-ukraine-and-caucasus/the-tragic-saga-of-the-volga-germans
nubbins`: it's like a competition to see whose website can look the shittiest
benkay: bonus side effect of ripping out the css and js from my site is how much more snappy it is.
dexX7: nice, archive.org also archived the prospectus pdfs etc.
mircea_popescu: robertmcmillan ^ there's your link
benkay: mircea_popescu: may i post a copy of the s.dice contract on my blog?
mircea_popescu: anyone kept a copy of the s.dice contract ?
dexX7: ah ty
benkay: although now the linespacing issue with footnotes is just that much more apparent.
benkay: Ademan: you missed the secret sauce with that one-liner.
Ademan: novusordo: and I'll create MILFcoin to compete with momcoin
mircea_popescu: who go to specialised stores and buy tools on the principle that the tools are useful, and so why not buy some tools.
mircea_popescu: novusordo there are people who consider themselves into various technical fields, such as buildingh
novusordo: so that i can pump both at the same time
novusordo: i'll create momcoin under a different pseudonym, and give it slightly different properties than cryptoshekels
deadweasel: that is the question
novusordo: so why not me too?
novusordo: seems like everyone and their mother has a personal altcoin now
Orion__: i have a tiny little problem and i'm in need of an expert
novusordo: wouldn't be too difficult
deadweasel: give it away to your temple friends
Ademan: deadweasel: well show me the shell/BTC exchange so I can convert them to something useful for me and sure!
deadweasel: i didn't say shares, tat
novusordo: pls take my cryptoshekels
ThickAsThieves: send them to my cryptsy wallet
Ademan: ideally you'd accept every payment option possible to maximize your potential customers, really
deadweasel: and the admin work of shuffling them around is absurd
ThickAsThieves: best not to pretend otherwise
ThickAsThieves: the easiest being, they exist and always will
dexX7: alts are great as testbed
kakobrekla: yes well i dont want to do the dishes
dexX7: that was probably related to the tape out in january
ThickAsThieves: problem is you dont wanna convert it twice
Ademan: dexX7: I thought I read an update that stated Q1 back in december
kakobrekla: the money flow nao is user->bbet->user, to implement alt you do it user->service->bbet->service->user
dexX7: Ademan: additionally there are some who believe there was already a test run with the new chips and a reseller already promoted an am gen3 based miner
asciilifeform: wait i thought this was ltc
ThickAsThieves: or, you could just only use the content and outcome of bitbet, and handle your own escrow of alts
asciilifeform: Ademan: where is the RAM?
