Vexual: noone
talks
to me in elevators
nubbins`: i
think it was a bit
tongue in cheek
mircea_popescu: how about banning fucktards from
taking
the elevator with you
mircea_popescu: antephialtic source ? what is
this source
thing you speak of.
nubbins`: A Goldman spokesman, after being
told
that @GSElevator had been unmasked, said in a statement, “We are pleased
to report
that
the official ban on
talking in elevators will be lifted effective immediately.”
antephialtic: mircea_popescu: what is
the source
that all winklevosses money was in gox
ninjashogun: guys I've received some suggestions
to "lurk" and "read logs" here, which I wouldn't really have
time
to do. It was nice meeting you all
though and I may be back as
the project progresses. Overall I don't
think I will be spending a
ton of
time building WoT, advisors, etc - as I have real-world references for
the moment
that I would expect anyone
to consutl.
Bugpowder: argh can't
transfer bitcoin on work network, even when VPN'ed
to elsewhere
ninjashogun: mircea_popescu, your own net worth is quite up
there from your exchange site? (With all its glorious stylesheets)?
ninjashogun: mircea_popescu, when you said above
that
this channel was worth "over $1b" I didn't
takei
t seriously as if it has like 500 regulars
then just a couple of people worth $50M - or a single Internet billionaire who drops in sometimes - would account for
that
mircea_popescu: ninjashogun i
think it just looks for
the <title> element in html
mircea_popescu: Bugpowder how
the fuck does
that work man. on my list breast cancer is one where early discovery has
the greatest impact. in
there with skin cancer.
ninjashogun: ozbot should pretend
to be
the google bot -
then it would get
the right
titles
ozbot: Log In -
The New York
Times
mircea_popescu: ninjashogun if you just dump
the link ozbot will read
the page
title.
ninjashogun: sorry I meant
to quote "Spritz – read 500 words per minute without any
training"
lnovy: i'd swap
to
that :)
benkay: i once heard copumpkin use a closure
to
turn an Mac][ into a Genera
ninjashogun: lnovy - if it's any consolation,
they just came out with a 128 GB micro sd card.
mircea_popescu: benkay fwiw, i heard copumpkin once used a lambda function
to
turn a iphone into an ipad
lnovy: mircea_popescu: 4096x4096... but I guess FF is just crap at
those...
mircea_popescu: and
then if
they don't listen sometimes
they live long enough
to apologize.
lnovy: mircea_popescu:
that sun picture send my box whole 1GB into swap :D
mircea_popescu: o hey. didja help all
the people buying mtgox debt learn a lesson ? lol
ninjashogun: mircea_popescu, I guess you just wrote
the beautiful front-end right :)
mircea_popescu: i didn't write it at all, and
tech details haven't really been released.
Namworld: Sorry, sorry. My cousin keeps quoting
that line from DBZ abridged.
mircea_popescu: i still dunno why
they've never been seriously implemented.
Namworld: But for now everything is on fire, so
to speak.
Namworld: It's only gox,
the rest will recover
Namworld: For
the sake of speculators dropping out/news/etc, damage is done.
joecool: mircea_popescu: again i don't use
them either,
the lack of support
though isn't from waryness, it's from
the number of old gnupg clients in
the wild
Namworld: What
the hell is going on? I leave for a few hours and
the whole Bitcoin world goes
to ashes?
antephialtic: davout:
thanks for
the
tip, going
to
try
to set
that up
mircea_popescu: joecool how would you identify
the classes of curves
they have popped ?
joecool: until
then, openpgp smartcard for me
joecool: i'm using 4096-bit RSA for
the forseeable future, but ecdsa seems attractive if i can write a javacard implementation
to work on my yubikey neo
davout: antephialtic: i
think it's gpg2
that does
davout: antephialtic: you can already have
the same feature if you
trade x.eur on mpex
mircea_popescu: joecool im suspicious as al lfuck of
the entire
thing.
joecool: mircea_popescu: depends on
the curve chosen
davout: (the localbitcoins
thing)
antephialtic: speaking of which, its a bit ridiculous
that GPG still doesn't support ECDSA keys

davout: oh nice, i didn't
the dip
mircea_popescu: what i hear is
they moved something like 10k armored vehicles so far
today.
ozbot: Russian units
transferred from securing
the Sochi games
to
the Ukraine border
benkay: in other news, i'm
talking about lisp at
the Portland Python night
this month. if
there are any Portlanders listening, you should come and NOT
TALK ABOUT BITCOIN FFS.
mircea_popescu: joecool well
ty,
tho it's kinda chearting. mpex never did fiat.
mircea_popescu: greenspan_fan i
take it your wife doesn't ask, just
takes ? :D
mircea_popescu: Bugpowder for public benefit, mind enumerating
those
types ?
greenspan_fan: benkay I've just never had anyone ask me for money and it
turn out well, so I am holding out hope for ninjashogun
Bugpowder: Not
to mention, early diagnosis of some cancers has no effect on mortality, but does decrease QOL
benkay: unlike
the vcs, i suppose
benkay: this is what is wrong with
the planet
benkay: "cool
to invest in a startup"
Bugpowder: mircea_popescu: Nope, it sounds like a good idea, but I don't
think it will really work.
the reason
the pregnancy ones work is
the hormone level goes up >1000x. MMPs are not
that unregulated, maybe 2-3x by volume? Need
to read
the paper but I imagine
the ROC curve is pretty ugly.
ninjashogun: greenspan_fan, so first of all obviously you would not give a cash
to a pseduonmn :) We can get in
touch if appropriate. Could you
tell me a bit about yourself - do you have any investments in startups
to date? (or been involved iwth one)? Do you like matheatics or
theoretical computer science?
mircea_popescu: at
the rate we're going i'll prolly publish
the bundle in a coupla weeks.
greenspan_fan: personally, I
think it would be cool
to invest in a start up, but I'm kinda averse
to giving cash
to pseudonyms in irc who aren't incorporated, have no references, no demos
ninjashogun: so out of a $50K investment, probably a few hundred would go
to server costs and $47K would sit in
the bank for six months. while we build it (Though I know
that is not what investors like
to hear)
mircea_popescu: when
the sec wanted
to
talk
to me i forced
them
to come here.
ninjashogun: it's all software, we have jobs at
the moment
ninjashogun: the other
thing is we don't REALLY have any capitalization requirements.
ninjashogun: So what I was
tihnking is
that
this isn't a real 'forum' (in
that most IRC channels are basically just
trolls etc) and
that I would just escalate
to another form of contact (skype etc) and be in
touch while it gets rolled out
greenspan_fan: it isn't meant
to be discouraging, just
that you have
to do some ground work, have something
to show off (like a demo, or some sort of model, at least), before anyone can make an informed investment decision
Duffer1: keep
this chan open when you can
though, hang around
ninjashogun: again,
this is
the idea
that caused
this startup
to be created
this week. (I did consult with advisors
the last week or
two about it.)
ozbot: La firma pe
Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
ninjashogun: Duffer1 I can PM you
the specific graph application (in gerneral
terms)
