nubbins`: i'd say the creator of the document specified the exact dimensions of the page
uhh: i'd say they do have an influence on how pdfs are presented on a computer screen
nubbins`: (i know, that's a really open-ended question)
benkay: don't much care to derp through it
benkay: i have the option
uhh: maybe we shouldn't pitchfork the printing guys and scientists, but adobe.
nubbins`: unless you have the option to read these papers in a format that's a good fit for your screen?
benkay: funny, that
nubbins`: funny, that
nubbins`: and yet here you are, forced to live with their decisions
benkay: what these academics (along with many others) want or even "think" is irrelevant
nubbins`: if they wanted you to not print it, they wouldn't have made it a pdf
benkay: moar tattoos.
benkay: i was under the impression these humans were trying to communicate
uhh: only because you are a printing guy doesn't give you the right to promote old school technology. who uses paper these days?
nubbins`: you know that's meant for print, right?
benkay: when will the scientific community release papers that display well on computer screens oriented normally?
benkay: on an entirely different topic
gribble: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=piff | superior to the average. Also a potent strain of weed/canibus of purple color.
benkay: sounds greedy to me.
uhh: so what's in at the moment, now that bf closed etc.?
benkay: and then fuck everything
benkay: right up until you need to do something in small units of currency
benkay: next time i pay someone to diddle my laundries.

uhh: omg is this teh end of bitcoin?
benkay: i'm always sad at the footnotes mouseover text escaping
jurov: at least there are no footnotes like on trilema
benkay: intent is there, but so is ambiguity.
benkay: "All future share issuance will be made only a) through selling of new shares on MPEx"
jurov: (b) No Such lAbs solemnly promises and warrants never to issue more shares ...etc
benkay: i'm saying it's not clear at all that e8 is the hard upper limit of issuance
Duffer1: so.. it's an investment i guess but one that's guaranteed to lose you 100% of everything you put into it
jurov: well, mircea likes to plan big :)
jurov: up to the 1e8 limit
jurov: not all of them sold at IPO, I mean
jurov: but since they did not sell on IPO, may be sold later
jurov: benkay: it's meant s.nsa will never have more than 100`000`000 shares ever
pankkake: but this what needs to be done

asciilifeform: in a sufficiently-hostile environment, full decentralization (of mechanical function, if not necessarily administration) is the only answer.
benkay: (just taking the piss, asciilifeform)
benkay: the other line that's amusing in retrospect is "I, for one, will wait for the fully-decentralized systems."
asciilifeform: pankkake: review was based primarily on the free demo, and the correspondence which led up to the latter.
pankkake: As I gather, the MPEx PR department currently consists of one person, paid to post pictures of pretty girls in Bitcoin forums.
benkay: in any event, the dilution rules are a little hazy, and i'm a little stupid and prone to making outrageous claims for my betters to correct.
mod6: oh yeah! forgot that was you.
asciilifeform: in fact, full disclosure time! i'm not a 'serious btc persona (TM)', just an amateur maths type. ~3btc to my name.
benkay: does anyone else have any insight on the topic?
benkay: who just went to bed :(
asciilifeform: i must remind you, i am not an expert on the mechanics of mpex/mpoe. by all means, ask the author.
asciilifeform: if i'm not mistaken, the s.nsa listing text is based on that of s.mg (and to a lesser extent, others)
benkay: i'm just contrasting that to s.mpoe where the deal is "there are 1b shares and will only ever be 1b shares"
benkay: ;;later tell mircea_popescu please for ams to explain how issuance of new s.nsa even at rolling 30d is not dilution of existing shareholders because ams idiots
asciilifeform: you should probably ask mp to be sure.
benkay: so i'm an idiot and don't understand how that's not diluting my holdings
asciilifeform: so, the way i understand, any new shares are automatically priced at a moving average of a long period preceding the issue.
benkay: i see that
asciilifeform: benkay: read the listing (written by mp, not me); there is a promise not to dilute
benkay: hey asciilifeform why would i buy and hold s.nsa if you (pursuant to 3.2b) can simply issue more shares?
pankkake: did that bring a lot of traffic?
mircea_popescu: and with that im off. don't break the butts!
asciilifeform: they throw in pretty much anything that smells of nsa dirt.
ozbot: $100K traded through Vancouver's Bitcoin ATM in one week (with video)
mircea_popescu: hey, the cardano was on that site!
asciilifeform: sits next to microshit's fax.
asciilifeform: pankkake: decoy. the real 'intel cpu vulnerability facility' is: a fax machine at ft. meade, where intel sends them the dirt directly, for free.
wao-ender: who made that pic?
pankkake: I love the first comment "220 usd for that"
ozbot: They really are Buttcoins nao pe Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.

gribble: MtGox lag is 1.571973 seconds. During this time, light travels 0.00315021629131 AU. You could have sent a bitcoin from Jupiter to its third largest moon, Io (0.002819 AU).
BingoBoingo: Nukes, like cocks require some sill for usage regardless of sice, though size does definitely help
nubbins`: no, i thought you were asking the crowd, not suggesting it as a measure
nubbins`: a thousand
nubbins`: you missed my sarcasm, too :(
asciilifeform: why not 'skyscraper height'? 'megatonnage of nuke you have the codes for'? etc
benkay: a weak proxy, then.
benkay: steep enough power curve on that one to neatly disqualify most irrelevants.
benkay: no, i just don't want it taken seriously.
benkay: what is the quantified watt of power?
nubbins`: if only religion could sum things up so succinctly
nubbins`: minor epiphany on the part of the reader
nubbins`: after some thought, i said "oh my"
nubbins`: read an article about an assisted suicide where one of the last things the woman did before dying was sing "row row row your boat" with her family

mircea_popescu: "would you like to fuck my wife" is really a lot more common than generally known.
mircea_popescu: fuck, so do the us ppl of today.
asciilifeform: maybe only to favoured guests.
mircea_popescu: and for that matter, so did the redskins, and so did everyone else.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yes, but much more limitedly than the stories go.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: pretty sure the eskimos did offer 'parking space' to guests.
mircea_popescu: the idiocy of adding that shit together like scalars...
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you know that's about on par with the jooz making casha out of virgin boy blood.
Namworld: Scientist is a negative points while no job is 0 and teacher is -5
mircea_popescu: adding this to teh permanent record.
pankkake: perhaps add that he has ~100 wives
Namworld: I don't think that qualifies as underprivileged...
