mircea_popescu: that scary moment when you google a word
that you know means ho and you discover
that as far as google knows,
the only instances it was ever used are on your blog.
BingoBoingo: bitcoinpete: I
think you've got your Middle America metaphore flipped around. Buffet chooses Omaha for a reason.
Duffer1: " I can’t separate out
the signal when
there’s
that much noise." i had
that exact conclusion a couple months ago
bitcoinpete: The single post, hot off
the press, is quite relevant
to #bitcoin-assets, or at least referenced
ozbot: Bing Maps - Driving Directions,
Traffic and Road Conditions
pankkake: I didn't know
that when I started creating bets
though!
pankkake: not necessarily, you get
the unlikely house bet
to your name
pankkake: maybe one of my submitted bets will actually
turn out
to be
the crazy option :)
BingoBoingo: Wait for lines
that don't seem priced right, still lose a lot and hope EV come.
pankkake: well, I guess it depends on
the gamble. I'd agree
that most
things gamblers and
traders
think as skill isn't
benkay: i just doubt i'd do much better
than stochastic bouncing around, pankkake - much like gamblers or
traders. up one day, down
the next; cognitively biased against
tracking returns etc. it's a goddamn emotional shitshow is what it is.
BingoBoingo: benkay: It's less learning how
to gamble and more
trying
to spot pricing errors and finding patterns. One pattern I have found profitable is if betting against Serena Williams would multiply your bet by 12 or less in a certain match,
there's prolly a fuckton of money
to be had.
benkay: some days i wonder if learning how
to gamble effectively is +ev or not...
BingoBoingo: Great upset potential as well, would have been a great bet
to
take both sides on.
BingoBoingo: I really need
to start paying more attention
to MMA matchups.
There's a decent fight
tomorrow and I
totally missed
the chance
to submit a Bitbet.
pankkake: they have xrp,
they have ven… doge is more serious already
kakobrekla: they brought forex
to bitcoin or something remember
Duffer1: is it
that vault of satoshi
thing
the redditers are
talking about?
pankkake: which is
the exchange in question?
kakobrekla: supporting altcoins just gives you a lot more low net worth retards
to deal with
mircea_popescu: starting with
the "forum bankers" listing pirate "securities" on glbse
mircea_popescu: otherwise
the arguments presented could have been presented by any scam
to date, and in fact were so presented
pankkake: the mistake is
to
take litecoin as "serious"
mircea_popescu: the reason a serious exchange does not want
to offer a scam is contained in
the expression "serious exchange"
pankkake: it had more real usage
than litecoin ever did
kakobrekla: Whatever may be said against dogecoin,
the fact is
that it has gained
traction very rapidly and become a very serious coin for
trading. Why wouldn't a serious exchange want
to offer it? We are after all in
the
trading business.
kakobrekla: Trade volume rivaling
that of litecoin
kakobrekla: So a "serious" exchange only offers "serious" coins? By what criteria does a coin count as serious?
The answer
to
this question is bound
to be controversial, but note
that dogecoin has:
MisterE: mircea_popescu: I'm not waiting
to get in at 500 I'm wanting
to see if support at 500 is broken how low it can go
MisterE: what is
this responsibility
thing you speak of?
MisterE: benkay: I'm American you'll need
to explain
that
to me
benkay: ultimately we come back
to
the personal responsibility
thing
mircea_popescu: tho one could fill a hard-drive with
the drivel of
the various speculators who knew shit on
the
topic at
the
time(s)
MisterE: it's like when
the sex goes in a relationship,
the writing on
the wall
MisterE: falling hashrate is a really bad
thing for your currency
though
MisterE: yea I was banned from #bitcoin
the day doge launched for saying "it will be disruptive"
MisterE: mircea_popescu: I'm a minnow
though
mircea_popescu: MisterE you know
there's a lot of people with no bitcoins because
they decided
they will buy if it goes under X and it never did.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform btw if it wasn;t obvious, base 10 because of
the exaflops.
MisterE: When will it
test 500 already? Waaah
Apocalyptic: <asciilifeform> i
thought it was strange
that your first
thought was in base-10... //
that's what confused me yeah
mircea_popescu: im a phb not a
tech see. i
think in practically useful
terms :D
Apocalyptic: <mircea_popescu> also afaik aes-128 is something
to
the
tune of 10^40 ? // what do you mean ?
mircea_popescu: also afaik aes-128 is something
to
the
tune of 10^40 ?
mircea_popescu: . Recently, our classified NSA Oak Ridge facility made a stunning breakthrough
that is leading us on a path
towards building
the first exaflop machine (1 quintillion instructions per second) by 2018.
This will give us
the capability
to break
the AES-128 encryption key
mircea_popescu: it would seem
to me it's not possible for both snaps
to represent
the same solid.
mircea_popescu: the silo + 9
tanks 1st picture is not contradicted by
the silo + 9
tanks last picture in
that scroll ?
mircea_popescu: ahaha it just occured
to me... do
the utah nsa people wear special blessed underwear ?
mircea_popescu: "Alienation of Affections and Criminal Conversation lawsuits are allowed in North Carolina
to preserve
the sanctity of marriage and
the institution of
the family. It is estimated
that over 200 alienation of affection cases are filed in North Carolina each year."
mircea_popescu: but i would propose
there is a difference between
the people who have a problem with
their gender,
mircea_popescu: (l conway is actually quoted by name as
the reason i can't quite declare
transsexualism out of
this world, in my article about
transsexualism)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
there's
this craig woods character which became kate, and had been running all sorts of projects and whatnot
wao-ender: does she looks like
that? I dont
think so
wao-ender: paying in followers on
tweeters. "look what I've done"
wao-ender: yeah,
taking social credit for
that
wao-ender: I had it on radar like in september or so, but I'm not
that social-freak
wao-ender: what I remember, she leads some groups, like ladies who codes and like
that
mircea_popescu: or is it more like "ladies of wallstreet" consisting of
the barristas and hooters waitresses ?
mircea_popescu: pankkake yeah i
think you may be right,
there is something
to
this sculpting communities
theory.
pankkake: because
twitter caters
to
that kind of
thing, everything in it prevent actual discussion
mircea_popescu: best abstract ever.
tyvm whoever wrote
this, now i know.
mircea_popescu: "This report is a return
to
the problem of security mechanisms implemented in modern anti-theft
technologies
that reside in firmware and PC BIOS of commonly used laptops and some desktop computers."
