thestringpuller: mod6 you free for a minute I"ve been meaning
to ask you about bitotter
mircea_popescu: forbes has an excellent point : it fully depends on which side
the army falls on.
mod6: "But when a long
train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably
the same Object evinces a design
to reduce
them under absolute Despotism, it is
their right, it is
their duty,
to
throw off such Government, and
to provide new Guards for
their future security."
mod6: such selective enforcement is
tyranny
mod6: when laws are arbitrarily enforced,
there is no rule of law.
mircea_popescu: i
tell you
tho, i know of no country
that is quite as entertaining.
deadweasel: well, it surprised me. i
thought our reps had some backbone left.
deadweasel: the godforsaken patriot act... how
they were able
to keep it going is amazing....
nubbins`: that's why he has
to do it with someone else
mircea_popescu: "If
the President persists in rejecting all authority other
than his own,
the denouement would depend on
the side
taken by
the Armed Forces. Whatever side
that was, our national self-esteem would be unlikely
to recover from
the blow of finding
that we are living in a banana republic."
nubbins`: "your child didn't have a grain item so we charged you $10 and fed
them a couple of salty, buttery snack crackers"
nubbins`: mircea_popescu:
the
true lel is
that
the school
thinks Ritz crackers are a "grain item"
mircea_popescu: and for
that matter, "A Republican Party
That Can't Win Vs. A Democratic Party
That Can't Govern"

The Constitution Means We Risk Losing Our Republic - Forbes
mircea_popescu: according
to licensing guidelines i have
to do
this, sorry.
mircea_popescu: it's like... i'ma fine
the center $150 because i don't approve of
their off-comic sans font.
mod6: "missing food group?" "Fine
the sonsofbitches!"
nubbins`: ^ a bit more lethargic

BigBitz: Other

to verify
the forum goat is reall him :)
pankkake: "He's just a running dog of
the chauvinist male pigs

pascal257: maybe
they want
to buy
that
tower
they were referring
to in
the
thread
pascal257: its not like
they need money for R&D
pankkake: they're only selling a little. so not much change in profits, but new capital
to do stuff (what?)
pascal257: if
they're so profitable wouldn't it make more sence
to keep
the profits for
themselves?
pankkake: I
think
they already stated what would happen actually
pascal257: what's next?
try again with a lower
target?
pascal257: so
they'll obviously fail at
their IPO unless
they someone manipulate it
pankkake: yeah, pretty much.
the reduced price is a marketing gimmick
pascal257: if
they're lucky
the last discounted one sells but why would anyone who has not bought yet, buy at "face value"?
pankkake: I doubt
the higher
tranches will sell
pascal257: first day almost over and
they sold a little over 1/3

mircea_popescu: and yeah i just wrote it, doesn't
take me much more
than ~20 mins/article or
thereabouts.
mircea_popescu: i didn't watch
teh vid past some ill kept woman going "EVERY DAY!!!!" like she was
trying
to convince herself of something
pankkake: I hope I made you RAGE with
that vid
pankkake: did you just write

KRS-: yeah but
they're headed up.
thestringpuller: KRS-: haven't interest rates been going up in
the US since like 2010?
mike_c: ugh, it's just broken. it is just constantly flashing
that kid. anybody got a different favorite
ticker?
KRS-: with US interest rates likely heading north, you would want
to be in USD here.
KRS-: you sure dont want
to hold on
to Yuan imo.
pankkake: I actually wanted
to have some a few months ago
KRS-: if you live in
the U.K. maybe
pankkake: is it possible
to own cny easily?
mike_c: i like watching
the chinese
pankkake: your screenshot made by
think "5400 USD already?!"
pankkake: they have
those easter eggs for new highs or something
ozbot: imgur:

mike_c: what
the hell is bitcoinity doing?
gribble: A market order
to sell 50 bitcoins right now would net 41807.9588 USD and would
take
the last price down
to 834.0000 USD, resulting in an average price of 836.1592 USD/BTC. | Data vintage: 0.0001 seconds
pankkake: given
that it's
trading below IPO, you have all your
time
to invest…
pankkake: so I consider my investment
there closer
to crowdfunding
pankkake: oh, well I
think
there are high changes it won't work. or perhaps
they will have
to change
things. I don't have high hopes but I'd like
them
to succeed
pankkake: depends on what you mean by legit?
they obviously exist and are doing what
they say
pankkake: otherwise probably, and as
the Neo guys say, it's easier
to reach politicians
pankkake: the only downside
there is
the EU
thestringpuller: I feel like Cyprus has a lot of potential
to host and exchange
pankkake: it probably won't work forever, but I feel
they'll always
try
to be a step ahead
pankkake: but it shows a willingness
to stay
pankkake: the Panama
thing is obviously a shell corp, I'm not sure why people are debating
that on
the forums
thestringpuller: i'm hoping
they don't disappear like
the other
two play exchanges
pankkake: I use it.
they do
things reasonably well… not sure what else
to say :)
thestringpuller: pankkake: what do you
think about havelock, since you are a canadian and all
pankkake: I'm still not used
to btc=500usd :| please stop

mike_c: wow,
that's awesome about carmack. a better oculus will be cooler
than doom
ten.
pankkake: it will go up if
too much people pay (unless someone pays a year and
then I'm screwed!)
BingoBoingo: pankkake, I do
troll for less and wonder... How good could
the
troll have been if you aren't in prison. Come february you 0.2BTC/day might only be reasonable if
the days counted are days in captivity.
pankkake: shit, I
think I missed my chance
to sleep early again :/
deadweasel: @ID_AA_Carmack actually, will you continue
to GPL
the stuff you'll do at Oculus, or....
BingoBoingo: Now
those last minute snipers have
to worry about long blocks and shit
