brendafdez: I was just approved to join the linux for women mailing list. In the welcome email I'm both reminded that 'what happens on list stays on list' (no archives or sharing) and they also say literally "You must know your password to change your options (including changing the password, itself) or to unsubscribe. It is: XGx4#KmI#HeF
%P7C^ Normally, Mailman will remind you of your linuxchix.org mailing list passwords once every month, alt
mircea_popescu: the cm field issue is probably the most concerning, and if there's a baked in backdoor (something like, say, nsa is able to directly see through maybe 10
% of all keys ever generated ?) that's where it'd be, that 3= -1 * 3≈ -2^1.6 property it shares with weak curves like bn(2,254) etc.
ascii_field: sd card isn't typically built for 100

nubbins`: i'd say 5

mircea_popescu: but anyway, teh 100

Pierre_Rochard: jurov: once irs catches air of them, they’re 39.6
% less useful
decimation: the 10 year treasuries are just under 2
% in usd
mircea_popescu: anyway, as to the interest rates, there was a discussion recently, and no, business rates aren't per month, you want to pay what, 3ish
% a year or some shit.
assbot: Logged on 22-03-2015 01:06:05; felipelalli: Itaú normal interest rate: 7
% PER MONTH. My interest rate in Itaú (because I am an old client): 4.8
%. BTCJam: 2.8
%. It makes a huge difference when you calculate the compound interest per year.

mircea_popescu: but you can readily notice the pure chemical osmotic source of "weight gain" when the woman eats 50
% more calories and loses weight.
felipelalli: And it makes more impersonal and passive. Instead to make a spam asking for money to your family and friends (active and personal), you can just publish the list (passive and impersonal) and anyone can invest if they want, or just ignore. Like 5 people I know personally invest their first 30
% and the rest was "friends of friends". It just worked to me because I had a good "outside WoT".
Pierre_Rochard: Pierre_Rochard: I think the worst credit cards run for 2
% per month, 30 yr fixed rate mortgage with good credit will cost you 0.33
% per month
felipelalli: I'm sure I could set 2
% rate or less and my list would be fund, because my reputation in Brazilian bitcoin community is very good. But now I have no choice rather than get 3.5
% calculated like magic by them. That's why I was disgusted. I would write an article about that, but after talking with you guys in this channel I was unmotivated.
felipelalli: But now, BTCJam simply eliminated the free market where the user could choose its own interest rate (and let it free to investors fund or not), and they automagically calculate the interest rate. With this new rule, I can get by 3.5
% per month. That is not a huge problem for me, actually, I was using this more like a test. But they simply buried the "service". Even if it was a zombie's forehead shot.

%. It makes a huge difference when you calculate the compound interest per year.
☟︎ felipelalli: right lists, and the right rates. I really want to understand better why you guys dislike it so much. In my country the interest rates are very high. In my bank, for example, I can get a loan with 7
% per month MIN! APR 125
% and in BTCJam I made some tests and I could get my first loand with 3
% per month (42
% APR) and then the second 2.8
% (39

mircea_popescu: ascii_field the idea that as the skin fails away the body can move to a 2nd line of defense is ridiculous. people with burns over 80
