BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: These aren't ancient.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: problem with ancient laptops is the almost total impossibility of finding a working battery.
nubbins`: apparently ubuntu supports touch
PLambert: I thought Ubuntu was releasing a mobile version soon, that would imply they are trying to support touchscreens?
nubbins`: i'd love to, she doesn't want to spend the $$
benkay: just get her an apple, nubbins`. you'll be so much less burdened with tech support...
BingoBoingo: nubbins`: Ubuntu isn't bad for such uses so long as someone isn't betting their life on the machine
PLambert: isn't android a linux version made for touch screens?

KRS1: I just love the round-robin discussion topic nature of IRC.
KRS1: Brunettes...pubes..its like the black hole..can't go down there..not down with that.
mircea_popescu: course, if you stick to german lands...
mircea_popescu: i think europeans are mostly brunette.
KRS1: My last g/f was Polish-ish. She had greyblue eyes and very straight blondish-brown hair..if this is how Europen women mostly look I must go. There is no other type of woman for me.
KRS1: ..and that chick with the red hair is considered hawt there.
mircea_popescu: serbia isn't big enough to have a weather
KRS1: Womens who look like that are probably of Euro descent. Most people in the U.S. are of immigrant descent.
BingoBoingo: Right now I'd lean towards serbia over Poland for the weather.
mircea_popescu: and they did back when you did.
mircea_popescu: you know us chicks would look exactly the same if you made them walk everywhere and cook.
mircea_popescu: kinda funny to see women that look like women declared "eastern european".
mircea_popescu: prolly serbia is the cheapest atm.
KRS1: Probably Poland. Their womens look delicious.
KRS1: I think I need to move to somewhere in Europe.
KRS1: Mmmm those are the eastern/European women i love so much.
mike_c: speaking of virtual reality, i tried an oculus rift for the first time recently. mindblowing.
mircea_popescu: buda, of course, is romanian for toilet
KRS1: lel definately in the pink
benkay`: in the meantime, it's an acceptable shorthand for a whole buncha shit.
benkay`: us management didn't turn over overnight, pankkake. still gotta deal with the derps.
mircea_popescu: "now where did i park again ?! maybe it was in the pink ?"
pankkake: devops is still a thing?
ozbot: Another massive flawless patching. Noone shares the excitement. - DevOps Reactions
mike_c: is mpex taking wire transfers now? blockchain isn't showing any deposits since november.
the20year: Anyone want to take a look at the revised rentalstarter business plan/disclosure?
KRS1: I used cashintocoins.com a few times- very good service.
ThickAsThieves: to the bitmobile!
ThickAsThieves: "This 152-year-old law forbids any American from issuing a check, note, or token that’s worth less than $1"
ThickAsThieves: they were waiting for a dip to buy in first
Duffer1: wow that got that done a lot faster than i thought they would
Duffer1: topace i'm not saying that is what's happening, i have no idea, that's just my overly cynical ravings talking
topace: jborkl: im not involved with the actual listings anymore
Duffer1: i believe 'volume' is being used here to mean: "puppet accounts using btc to provide the illusion of demand"
mike_c: selling them on ebay
PLambert: topace, I am not saying that the trade is not hapenning, just guessing that it is an insider
jborkl: topace, do you know how they plan to resell? are they shipping them overseas to Africa or selling them for BTC again?
topace: "[13:16:11] <PLambert> see, there is some fake volume?"
PLambert: I am not saying they are fake trades, just that they are insider trades
topace: there's no way to "fake" trades
topace: and i wrote the damn platform
topace: im watching the server right now
topace: real bitcoins used to buy real shares
PLambert: who has 20 btc and is dumb enough to fall for this?
jborkl: so, when the exchange rate rapes them - they are out of business
topace: PLambert: why do you think thats "fake" ?
PLambert: see, there is some fake volume?
PLambert: jborkl, yeah and "fix them and resell"
jborkl: wait, so they buy old cellphones for bitcoins
PLambert: can you tell the difference between real and fake?
PLambert: what is the original?
PLambert: just need a couple bitcoins, send to stooge's account, buy shares, repeat
Duffer1: and the original could jsut start accepting bitcoins themselves and kill off all competition QUITE easily
PLambert: volume is easy to fake
PLambert: they are asking for way too much money and giving way too little in return, and their business model is easily copied
Duffer1: no i expect they'll sell out because... history like repeating itself
PLambert: maybe it is the operator trying to make themself look more presentable
Duffer1: havelock trying to fake volume
PLambert: what, people are actaully buying that shit?
Duffer1: ha man i tried to warn them in that thread, hopefully that 160 is all they sell
PLambert: Oh look, MS is now available on Havelock. Who is excited to lose their money?

mircea_popescu: kakobrekla anyway, that's kind-of culture shock. the chinese do that sort of thing in chinese all the time. very self-stroking culture, it's not quite as wow as in european terms
mircea_popescu: he's eweirdo, wherever those are
mircea_popescu: in these qtys ?
asciilifeform: perhaps the gold was 'borrowed' from a neutron bombardment reactor at sandia or somesuch.
asciilifeform: considering the inclination of usg to run things at a loss (so long as said loss can be pawned off on some chump),
mircea_popescu: anyway, THEIR nsa isn't being riddled with fuckwith trannies that turncoat, so you don';t really know what they are doing.
mircea_popescu: they're putting a guy on the moon.
mike_c: they can keep the cheap kewpie doll ip.
mike_c: invisible ip? what are they doing that is so cool?
mircea_popescu: you don't get to see what it develops on top of what it loots from us corps.
mircea_popescu: i can't imagine why they'd care about lending a little gold so various us idiots can save a little face.
mircea_popescu: and as the inept leadership oif the us has been giving them absolutely all the techs in the most incredible transfer of wealth/spoliage in human history,
mircea_popescu: ip is the only thing it hoards.
mike_c: that's why. gold is the only thing it hoards.
mircea_popescu: or japan. india isn't, and there just aren't that many folks with gold
mircea_popescu: so unless china graciously decided to lend... or else maybe russia ?
mircea_popescu: mike_c course there's not really enough gold on deposit to be doing it
mike_c: not having the stamps is interesting. yet another confirmation that the fed plays games with other countries deposits.
mircea_popescu: Duffer1 well... depends how much you've been following the precious metal wranglings
Duffer1: is this news significant?
pankkake: yeah they will check
