mircea_popescu: but in
the interest of sanity : obviously radioactive decay is purely entropic.
the methods people use

try and extract
that entropy however...
tsk.
BingoBoingo: Has radioactive decay improved its entropy
to compete with
the Cardano yet?
mike_c: hehe. well, i could write a counter-bot pretty quickly since he provided
the source code.
mircea_popescu: mike_c here's a bomb for you :
there exists a sequence which makes
the bot get 0%
mike_c: ozbot is a good robot
that does what its
told. ascii's robot reads my mind in uncomfortable ways.
mike_c: fuck! i hate
that mindreading robot.

the vp meeting acting like you belong

mircea_popescu: the correct way is
to do for instance conference evanghelizing for s.nsa fior a uyear.
mircea_popescu: the current bs
they do, setting up shop and pretending like
they matter and exist is for
the ducks.
mircea_popescu: mike_c gotta give
the
twentysomething enthusiasts a way in.
mike_c: PR stunt: pit cardano against
that website
that guesses your number
mike_c: outsourcing evangelism is
tough for such a
technical product.
benkay: outsourced person

Duffer1: does s.nsa have any marketing budget? / plans
to set up shop at security conferences etc?
mircea_popescu: so if you see a lot of "plz
to change gpg it is hard
to use" you can guess it's
them.
Duffer1: about changing gpg
to something less secure
Duffer1: tell us how long it
takes before nsa contacts you
Duffer1: ohh i
thought it was a euphemism for.. well n/m
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform no see, if
they can run a reflow line
they get

mike_c: not really bad. but conclusion is
that he's not plunking any money down on mpex. now he has a company listed
there.
KRS|Gotyawallet: im retro like
that, i dig ascii
too..nothing like simplicity.
mike_c: wow
that link on ascii dissecting mpex. I guess a few
things have changed since february.
KRS|Gotyawallet: theres actually decent volume..just need
to work on
the graphics a bit :D
mircea_popescu: i stgill have mail going "whatg, 500 dollars for a seat ?!
THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS!! HOW DARE YOU!!!"
mircea_popescu: ya,
that strategy worked great for
the ppl wanting accounts :D
mircea_popescu: benkay
there isn't a fixed fee. you negotiate it when you list.
benkay: mircea_popescu: what is
the listing fee?

trilema is banned?
mircea_popescu: bwahaha asciilifeform look at
that! you're now an authority!
pizzaman1337: different from
the registration fee? how much is it?
pizzaman1337: any person
that wants
to list on mpex first needs
to pay
the registration fee, right?
the20year: in other words i shouldn't be
typing when i'm doing 5 other
things and not paying attention
to what goes on IRC
the20year: I meant capital growth in
terms of equity/assets in
the company
the20year: $250k based on
the initial investment of $92k , or a
total growth of 271%
the20year: Right now
the way it's written if we can hit $250k in capital, I get a performance bonus
mircea_popescu: (mpex shares are non voting. as a result,
the operator has
to maintain majority)
the20year: If more shares and i get
to keep equity, around $100k USD
the20year: Depends on
terms, i'd love
to raise more capital via shares, as long as I can keep some equity in it, but i'd prefer just standard bank leverage
the20year: mircea_popescu: if we released rentalstarter
to mpex, how much funding do yo uthink we could raise?

the healthcare

mircea_popescu: you get better anal sex when
the girl regards

the ass as her own, personal victory.
pankkake: the fun
thing is
that
those
things are usually claimed as own "victories" from
the left!
mircea_popescu: his idea was
that people will have incentive
to keep killing each other so as
to avoid ponzi effects.
mircea_popescu: pankkake
the ponzi retirement system was invented by von bismarck.
mircea_popescu: bah, father. wasn't his father,
they were barely related, nm me.
pankkake: many forms of unique IDs,
the ponzi retirement system, minimum wage, daylight savings, mother's day
mircea_popescu: mike_c guy's father, carol 1st however, is probably
the model monarch.
mircea_popescu: (since we're doing
this : guy kept fucking around, and eventually married, aged 60.
the woman's name was hardon)
pankkake: not sure about Petain himself, but
the Vichy gov started a lot of shit
that are still going on
today
mircea_popescu: you know before vichy he was
the one guy in
the
top brass
that objected
to
their nutty "infantry charge"
tactics
mircea_popescu: the schmuck
that joan of arc wanted on
the
throne ain't so good either, and

the 1789 revolutions you got plenty of nutty socialists
to pick from
