mircea_popescu: i don't
think i ever saw a pit boss play anything, ever.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo most people who are good at anything more involved
than sucking cock (which is really
the criteria for COCKtail waitresses) don't like
to play anyway.
BingoBoingo: Yeah, most people involved in casino work more sophisticated
than carrying drinks
tend
to find
their way on reject lists, at least for
their own casino
mircea_popescu: benkay why "mirceapopescu" as a subscript for
th e2nd word ?!
mircea_popescu: in general
the route is

then pile gifts upon you so
that you return
to
the
table.
mircea_popescu: this was, as best anyone can determine, not
the case past about 1880 or so
mircea_popescu: i distinctly remember
this rush where wynn was

mircea_popescu: benkay "I am currently using
this fiction whereby
the MPBOR established
through
the workings on one month is declared
to be
the central bank rate valid for
the next month.
This is obviously not particularly correct, other
than
the
twin considerations
that “natura non facit saltus” on one hand and
that it works on
the other."
googBus_: whatever cnn "says": 'For years electric vehicles have been regarded as
the frumpy inner-city siblings of
their hardier countryside 4x4 brethren or zippier
track-friendly supercar sisters.'

this electric car soon be
the fastest supercar on earth? - CNN.com

the point of listening)
googBus_: asciilifeform you've probably seen

googBus_: there's an iee journal mention of
that sort of concept for earth. a few of us perhaps simultaneously--however ironic
that is--had
the notion of using
the network itself as a storage system
jurov: at least until police learns and starts shrouding
the premises in smoke
jurov: the camera feed could be
transmitted some mile away by optical beam
googBus_: early computing is fun
to look at--the electronic stuff. washingmachines :)
googBus_: '"A basic principle of journalism is
to acknowledge when
the owner of a media outlet has a major financial relationship with
the subject of coverage. We strongly urge
the Washington Post
to be fully candid with its readers about
the fact
that
the newspaper's new owner, Jeff Bezos, is
the founder and CEO of Amazon which recently landed a $600 million contract with
the CIA.'
googBus_: keeping 'the assets'
transparent:
ozbot: The CIA, Amazon, Bezos and
the Washington Post: An Exchange with Executive Editor Martin Baron | Nor
jurov: i
thought my bits are stored in ionosphere
googBus_: keep an eye on all your assets as
they say
googBus_: it's interesting
that amazon both has a $600 million USD cloud contract with
the agency; and amazon's
titular head has bought
the washington post
googBus_: gd as a
tooth in
the nose--other ru.saying ;)
benkay: Fair Witness also comes with 1 gb pre-paid storage and relay
to endpoint of your choice from
the secret NSA data center
benkay: that'd lead
to jamming on every car-stop
benkay: for a consumer system designed
to go in cars a la russian dash cams wifi and cell would be sufficient
benkay: so an sdr
to find open bands and subsequently pump boatloads of juice over
them
truffles: did
they sprinkle some crack on him
benkay: sousveillance plus bitcoin
to ruin
the
tyrant's operatives starting in 2014: in
benkay: i was shooting for 'implications of
the above chart are
that bondholders change
their opinions about stuff leading
to
the following'
benkay: oh i should make
that clear
jurov: it's because bondholders change
the requested rate
jurov: When
the bot
takes a loss,
the subsequent month's premium increases as well. << benkay
this is not automatic
jurov: the mpbor isn't currently used for anything outside
the bonds calculation
jurov: benkay, yes it applies
to previous month
nubbins`: "One Weird
Trick" becomes "One Piece of Completely Anecdotal Horseshit"
nubbins`: ^ browser plugin
that
translates shitty 'viral' headlines
benkay: got some
trash
to
talk on someone's provably fair gambling setup, nubbins` ?
nubbins`: but either way, from what i understand,
the setup of jd lends itself
to wild swings of luck, both good and bad
nubbins`: are casinos provably fair with 1% house edge,
tho?
kakobrekla: that
translates
to slovene
too, only 'stable' also means 'fucked up'
nubbins`: shrug. funny
thing about luck ;p
nubbins`: oh man. dooglus' response
to
that reddit
thread is great
nubbins`: i'd be more suspicious if i saw an actual ingelligent, linear conversation
take place

the
trollbox doesn't read well?
nubbins`: "The chat room on
the site is very active but
the conversations
there are unusual and non-linear"
benkay: also
thestringpuller i know you follow mpbor, if you have any ideas about what i'm missing it'd be great
to straighten out
benkay: any clarification on what i'm not understanding
today would be much appreciated
benkay: well i've gone and confused myself again. mircea_popescu jurov:
the statements for say, december 2012 says
that
the MPBOR for dec 28-jan 25 is 4.99, but
thats
the rate paid against
the december capital. similarly,
the jan statement says
that
the MPBOR for jan26-feb22 will be 9.99 but i'm reading
the reports
to say
that premium was charged for capital borrowed over
the course of jan.
benkay: mircea_popescu:
the column 'capital' in bond history
tables includes or does not include last resort capital?
benkay: that makes a bit more sense,
ty
jurov: if i buy a call and am wrong, mpoe gets only up
to
the price i paid
mircea_popescu: if
they are wrong and
trade a lot
that doesn't hurt
the bonds.
