BingoBoingo: As far as I know Outlook has, or at least had a GPG extension. Maybe
they ported PyMPEx
to an Excel macro?
ozbot: BitBet - Bitcoin price
to rise above $500 by
the end of 2013
mircea_popescu: you could also say “No man, who has endeavored
to carry out an enterprise where many hands were needed, but has been well nigh appalled at
times by
the imbecility of
the average man-
the inability or unwillingness
to concentrate on a
thing and do it,” Hubbard writes. “Slip-shod assistance, foolish inattention, dowdy indifference, & half-hearted work seem
the rule…”
mircea_popescu: “One of
the big enlightenments
that we had at a certain point is
that people don’t want
to buy security software.
They want peace of mind.”
BingoBoingo: When's
the last
time anyone checked
the FBI addresses? Maybe
they learned
to GPG and bought a key registration on MPEx?
mike_c: congress will make bitcoin extremely easy in
the US as soon as
they figure out it can hide campaign contributions
mircea_popescu: FBI could be a Bitcoin-centric us congress lobbying group, insisting
that each year
the us spends $$$
to buy up bitcoins
mike_c: they gotta put all
those coins
to work. heh, maybe
the fbi bought all
the puts.
benkay: if it does so within
the month,
that is.
mircea_popescu: if bitcoin does go back
to last month
those puts are worth a pretty coin.
BingoBoingo: I imagine
the futures will pick up as
the gem chasers continue
their
thing.

mike_c: well,

these kinds of
things still :) Another year and I will be blase.
mircea_popescu: mike_c you weren't around
the month
that mpoe bot carried 1mn btc implied on
the book were you
mike_c: but pool doesn't have control of all
the funds
to drop down a 1k hedge, do
they?
benkay: dunno what
to
tell you, mang
benkay: mpoe
took
the other side
mike_c: if it is a speculator, i don't care how big
their stash is.
that's a big bet!
mike_c: so, a miner is happy
to spend 300k in insurance for 3 weeks?
BingoBoingo: mike_c: You forget
the gem chasers are controlling prices at
the moment
benkay: relative
to your stash, perhaps.
mike_c: man, i hope he's going
to hedge
that
benkay: pretty
tightly correlated, neglecting growing pains.

nubbins`: "Duffy is also
the asshole who, at
the funeral of former Liberal prime minister Pierre
Trudeau in 2000, reminded his grieving widow
that it was also
the birthday of her son Michel, who died in an avalanche in 1998."
Namworld: [21:31] <nubbins`> given
the perps, i hope not
nubbins`: mircea_popescu: depends on if
the liberals get elected again
Namworld: Botched NC
Traffic Alert? Sounds like a prank.
mircea_popescu: so i guess it'll
take you 10-20 years
to catch up
to
the us
then ?
nubbins`: and it came
to light
that
they've been grossly enriching
themselves in ways
that
they shouldn't
mircea_popescu: "The North Carolina Department of
Transportation sent out a
traffic alert, warning people of female drivers, rain and Obamacare."
ozbot: Botched NC
Traffic Alert Warns Of ‘Women Drivers, Rain, Obama Care’ « CBS Charlotte
nubbins`: for some reason, we have a bunch of ex-journalists in
the senate
nubbins`: mp, i
think we even have eleckshuns
too
Namworld: I was reading comments on a canadian news website (yes, I'm currently very bored) when someone purporting
to be American he was surprised pretty much every commenter was writing with full sentences and properly. It's
true.
mircea_popescu: nubbins` you don't understand. some people weren't happy with
the direction it was evaporating into back in 2012.
KRS-: i have no idea what i'm saying i was looking for
the #xbox chat room or something
Apocalyptic: KRS-, I've seen someone willing
to buy 0.001 btc on #otc
KRS-: one of
the easier ways?
KRS-: if one wanted
to do
that couldnt one just
trade btc for gold directly?
mircea_popescu: "launder money" = "use moneuy according
to wishes of owners rather
than government" ?
KRS-: But
then again <XDS2010> hey can i buy 2USD of bitcoins off someone ?
nubbins`: it was removed from circulation after
they realized it was only being used
to launder money
KRS-: amazing how many people are all up in BTC considering
the price
nubbins`: it's uncommon
to see anything bigger
than a 20 day-to-day
mod6: i know
the length of $1 is 6" for sure,
the height seems about par with usd.
mod6: yeah,
those are just probably inserted as a strip during or before
the lamination process.
nubbins`: and i'm pretty sure it's a different polymer
than
the rest of
the note
nubbins`: i'm not sure of
the specifics.
the clear section has a hologram ribbon embedded in it
nubbins`: (you can see
the guilty braille near
the bottom right of
the "E"
mod6: oh, ok. probably better
that way
to avoid delamination
nubbins`: the canadian notes have fully
transparent sections
mod6: are
these poly-notes just straight poly, or are
they a laminated pet (polyester) | polyethylene with paper in
the middle?
nubbins`: in fact, i mis-counted
the
tenants' rent
twice
this month because of
this very problem
nubbins`: i assumed
that it was because
they cut
the sheets in stacks, and don't mechanically fan
them
to encourage separation before shipping
them
to
the banks
mircea_popescu: nubbins`
then it must not be done right or something ?
nubbins`: the canadian notes have
texture as well
mod6: interesting way
to get around
the problem i suppose. new paper notes always stick
together over here -- and
there's a lot of 'em (lol)
mod6: mircea_popescu: do you mean 'faces' as in
the artwork on
the note, or as in some sort of poly scuffing or 'roughness' on
the surface?
mircea_popescu: there's really not much choice, you can't make "paper"
textile secure enough.
nubbins`: the see-thru panels are kinda cool
tho
nubbins`: better
than more coins,
though
nubbins`: once
they've been circulating for a while
they're ok, but crisp ones are always a problem
nubbins`: they
tend
to nest
together around
the braille
mod6: i bet, nubbins`. seems like
that would be a problem.
mircea_popescu: romania has been using all poly for a decade, and
the problem never existed here.
nubbins`: cashiers are always death-gripping
them
nubbins`: mod6: crisp stacks of
them are VERY difficult
to separate. it's a real pain
kakobrekla: whats odd also about
tf, different people are getting back different percentages of
their holdings or soemthing
