Duffer1: what
they
tell you
they want
to do is always different
than what
they a)
try
to deliver b) are capable of delivering
Duffer1: meh i wouldn't
trust small govt politicians
to have a clue any more
than big govt politicians
mircea_popescu: im curious how'll
the world look once
the small govt people get
their way and all
those guys get
to make actual decisions for
themselves and have
to live with
the results.
mircea_popescu: not in
the sense
that he fixes your
teeth, but very good service.
mircea_popescu: dentist = scam. not a scam AS SUCH, in
the sense
that it does fix your money but a) you have
to make appointments and
they charge if you cancel
them without notice and b) it costs money.
Duffer1: i see
that forum in a whole different way now
mircea_popescu: "I suppose you're right. It's not a scam as such, because it's all out in
the open and delivers exactly what it promises."

that, programmer with a degree and various other supersmart
things.
Azelphur: am I
the only person around here who doesn't have women problems? XD
mircea_popescu: yes, and it's worse. at least women you can get both in bet and it'll melt
the j's.
jayk: women make great friends until
they get jealous.
pankkake: how will she know how
to make sandwiches?
pankkake: I worked with women and didn't give
them any special
treatment
pankkake: funny
thing is, I probably did more against sexism in IT
than
these pretend sexism figthers
mircea_popescu: it's easy, when surrounded mostly by other fat lazy westerners
that have long forgotten how
to even passibly pretend like
they're
trying
benkay: for every dorky white kid discussing sexism in it
there's 1/10th of a white kid working harder smarter and faster
to actually do something
mircea_popescu: for every dorky white kid idly discussing "sexism in IT"
there are at least a hundred olive kids willing
to eat
their own right arm
to be in it.
mircea_popescu: pankkake you likely don't understand
the drive of people from novosibirsk
to mogadishu
to be businessmen.

Trading with BitCoin
pankkake: this is a forum dedicated
to ponzi scams?!
pankkake: because
two cans and a string!
mircea_popescu: nah,
the order is say buy 5 at 15.
the engine says so,
the proxy ends up with
the idea
the order is 99999995 at 15.
pankkake: I
thought it was
the same order multiple
times
pankkake: but
that accounts for my idea how how
things work
pankkake: that's
the
thing, I can't wrap my head about how it is designed :)
mircea_popescu: fixing
this has proven itself
the most challenging one
thing in
the history of
the exchange so far.
mircea_popescu: it has
to do with what happens once it loses connection but doesn't yet know it has.
mircea_popescu: in some circumstances a certain proxy may end up misstating an order in
that way.
pankkake: so
there are orders
that shouldn't be
there? how?!
copumpkin: is
that someone
taking advantage of it just now?
mircea_popescu: Apocalyptic not really, what happens is
that a whole shitload of 1s get
tacked on
to
the actual order
pankkake: I don't get
this proxy
thing, is
there no central authority in mpex
trading?
copumpkin: seems like a good
time
to get a good sell :
copumpkin: if I were
to guess, someone convinced mpex
to go negative on an unsigned 64-bit integer
copumpkin: (happens
to be awfully close
to 2^64)
mircea_popescu: but if legitimate stuff came along
that legitimately couldn't afford it, im sure
the service would pop.

to list is all.

the NYSE is accepting scams

these days,
Azelphur: mircea_popescu: btw, do you have
to pay 30 BTC
to list on
top of
the registration fee? or is it just
the registration fee
kakobrekla: any anyway, golf is like a
tank, it doesnt like
to break
mircea_popescu: "Why would a stock want
to list on mpex for 30btc vs another exchange for much less?"
kakobrekla: see
the
thing is, its cheaper
to fix golf here
than your mazda
Azelphur: with facebook and others jumping on board, I
think it could happen o.O
Duffer1: actually some of
those golfs look pretty sharp
dub: no, when it breaks down you can blow me
though
Azelphur: mircea_popescu: I'm curious, what do you
think about all
this chatter of $10k by
the end of
the year? XD

to
take a vw golf
