nubbins`: they didn't lose
them, some guy put a QR code sticker on
top of
theirs
pankkake: that's like
their yearly volume
nubbins`: turns out he's just a cat
that's looking for a warm place
to nap
nubbins`: not sure if he means "The Feds stole
those coins." or "The Fed's stolen
those coins."
nubbins`: "The Fed's stole
those coins."
nubbins`: "We all just need
to agree
to craft a bogus block where
the FBI coins get sent
to 1BitcoinEater"
nubbins`: "Normally I'd ask for a share of
the profits but
this
time it's free"
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Late 90's was when
the flood of spinoffs started
ozbot: Fork
The Blockchain And Block
The Seized FBI Coins.
ThickAsThieves: spider sense
tingling, bitcoin drama levels feel
too depleted
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves "and now here i am, surrounded by all
this brown shit"
nubbins`: for most purposes, you can be lax with
the definition
nubbins`: ThickAsThieves, it's all a continuum,
tbf
mircea_popescu: CERN scientits announce : holes
to be black in
two weeks!
ThickAsThieves: <nubbins`> well what is "black", really <<< something about dark matter and absence of light, still sorting it all out i
think
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Hoffman's first part seems
to have been as random disposable criminal in Law and Order
nubbins`: i advance
that nothing in your line of sight is black
mircea_popescu: ;;later
tell herbijud1estoids no fucken way hoffman's first
thing is
that 1997 atrocityu.
ozbot: Stephen Hawking shakes up
theory (again): Black holes are actually gray - NBC News.com
ThickAsThieves: "Exactly! I want
to buy a pizza with 10k ATC and regret it later. I'm even willing
to
throw away a fraction of a Bitcoin (and regret
that later
too) for
the experience."
mircea_popescu: besides,
there's a nice flattery bit at
the
top huh. aite, brb.
mircea_popescu: wait wait,
the author's name is joanna blythe man ?!
this is
trolling, right ?
herbijud1estoids: dude i am not gonna sit here and
try and come up with a more evil cow related name
than
that
herbijud1estoids: that came out
today, obviously a moron funded by
the cow council or something, but great
to rile up
the vegans with
ozbot: Can vegans stomach
the unpalatable
truth about quinoa? | Joanna Blythman | Comment is free |
thegua
mircea_popescu: who knew vegans are dedicated
to a strict regimen of gonads.
ThickAsThieves: "Or in other words, while
the sauce for
the goose works just fine for
the gander,
this point is well wasted on vegetarians :
the stuff
they eat doesn’t even have gender." << Cuz we mostly eat
the gendery parts!
herbijud1estoids: havent you seen it man! omg...rambo
takes
the game right
to
those pesky commie bastards!
herbijud1estoids: rambo4? back when
the
taliban were
the "brave and fearless men and women of afghanistan fighting for
their freedom"
to which
the movie was dedicated
mircea_popescu: why not "some came running" and "cat on a hot
tin roof"
ThickAsThieves: <mircea_popescu> i
tried
to watch capote and i couldn't get
through
the whole
thing. --- mme
too
herbijud1estoids: i
think rambo4 and charlie wilsons war should be mandatory viewing for all american citizens :P
herbijud1estoids: my fav movie with him in it is charlie wilsons war, but i guess its a subject matter
thing
herbijud1estoids: never seen it before, some of
the scenes at
the start i
thought was amazing...like
the first
time
the guy catches his wife cheating on him
mircea_popescu: i
tried
to watch capote and i couldn't get
through
the whole
thing.
mircea_popescu: anyway. i do believe it's more about what it'll hopefully blossom into
than what it is yet.
herbijud1estoids: anyway i should really bed. was supposed
to wake up early and hassle some engineers in san fran but i got distracted watching boogie nights
mircea_popescu: you know ppl sort-of bitched at me about it, and i
think
they still don't
think it's right but mostly
take my word for it.
mircea_popescu: so for all practical purposes, allow me
to welcome you into
the church of mpex scientology.
herbijud1estoids: i only looked at pympex
today and when i was reading
the FAQ about "SPLIT" i
thought goddamn genius
mircea_popescu: as a rule
tho, people lack
the intellectual sophistication
to have and use
the
tools
to discern it, and
then
the
time
to do so.
herbijud1estoids: hope someone has congratulated you on
the awesome
thing you built and if not, congrats
herbijud1estoids: the
twitter feed is fucking gold. i will learn how
to pull data from it
tomorrow and see if i can make some interesting graphs
herbijud1estoids: like i said, if i borrow a million for
the endeavour of
trading mean reversion model on MPOE at 3%,
then my returns are only dependent on MPBOR in
the sense
that MPOE is
the business handling MPBOR
mircea_popescu: cause of
the way
the bondbod is financed, you familiar with
that ?
mircea_popescu: subject
to parameter adjustment for your own convenience.
mircea_popescu: otherwise in practical
terms his heuristic sounds reasonable,
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves in
the universe in which
the kelly criterion is meaningful, infinite ev is not possible.
mircea_popescu: that sort of divergenge can only be interpreted
to mean
there's
turbulence.
herbijud1estoids: ThickAsThieves: i would check
the model
to make sure its not broken and if not probly
trade on a volatility adjusted level...i like ~15%/pa STDDEV
mircea_popescu: accorfding
to
the largest stock in
the marketplace it's more like 0.5 - 0.2% a year
mircea_popescu: according
to discounted future cash flow approach it's maybe 0.01% a year.
mircea_popescu: according
to mpbor it's something crazy like 1k% a year.
herbijud1estoids: jurov: i really dont have
the
time
to push
this much further
than i already am with work and other projects but if i get motivated and
time i will definitely appreciate any help
mircea_popescu: herbijud1estoids my point being
that we have a serious problem in
this space with
that (and other) basic numbers.
herbijud1estoids: if you
think you have an edge and borrow a million dollars at 3%
to implement an algo
that
trades
this,
then obviously your cost of capital is 3%+R&D
jurov: or savy yourself
the suffering and
talk
to me first ;)
jurov: herbijud1estoids: wait
till you want
to start actually
talking
to mpex's congenial interface
herbijud1estoids: at some point someone will come in and
trade
this with volume until
the returns are close
to cost of capital
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves an "only your orgasm shrieks can unlock
this wallet" would be moar better.
herbijud1estoids: MPOE is probly
the only stock in
the world valued at its current value
that you could do
this on
the microstructure without living in
the exchange...how interesting is
that!
herbijud1estoids: mircea_popescu: no as in when
the model is reporting a number below 50 you buy at market and when it goes above 50 you sell at market
mircea_popescu: you can get
the mkt depth and vwap feeds w/o any account
herbijud1estoids: and stat is
the only command
that gives you
the
trade histories, right?
davout: you need an account
to stat
herbijud1estoids: also mircea_popescu i
tried
to query do a STAT with pympex but it didnt work, said i need
to sign
the key (which i obviously did), are you *sure* i dont need an account
to run
the queries?
