pankkake: and yet
they had good hardware
mircea_popescu: i mean what
the fuck, since
the dreamcast 10 years ago what have
they done ?
mircea_popescu: sega made
the same half billion. on ~5bn income rather
that sony's 75bn, and while doing... nothing
mircea_popescu: so fucking hell. sony made half a billion. it does everything, from chips
to being a
total IP asshole conclave.
pankkake: mircea_popescu: it's really fun
to read
pankkake: that's
the only
thing going up
pankkake: and I didn't hook up
the mic
thing
that should be in front
pankkake: it's a line in, not
thought for mics
pankkake: yeah but
that's not
the issue. I enabled any mic boost option
pankkake: I'm going
to do it, but I have
to make
the mic work first
mircea_popescu: reeses be a darling leave
the link as a comment ? will ye ?
mircea_popescu: i mean it's one
thing
to
tell girls
they prolly have a great body under
the bikini. quite another
to cold call people's reading.
mircea_popescu: and allow me
to pat myself on
the back quite publicly for my fucking otherworldly
transcendent
talkent picking abilities.
reeses: then picked a couple semi-plausible ones
that clients would scratch
their heads
reeses: we were cackling when it started spitting
things out
reeses: I
think it was mainly accenture and mckinsey
reeses: man I wish I kept
the source
mircea_popescu: "Drawing on extensive cross-domain industry experience along with broad and deep
technical expertise and innovation, Art
Taylor LLC
translates business strategy and goals into predictable
technology initiatives with solutions
that produce measurable results."
mircea_popescu: also apparently
the owner of
the world's worst fucking
tagline.
mircea_popescu: benkay old
timer, got mostly cleanned out by smart investment long before asicminer was a glimmer in its daddy's eye
benkay: reeses && mircea_popescu: who is
this reeses human?
reeses: well, you don't have
the best cognac, by definition
mircea_popescu: meanwhile
they became
the largest selling romanian rappers in history, and so consequently half
the brandy drunk here is
that, in spite of romania having much better stuff and definitely
the world's best cognac on
tap.
mircea_popescu: i distinctly recall a buncha romanian dorks being so fucking impressed with hennessy
they put it on
their song
reeses: mircea_popescu: well, it was also funny when we would have execs visit from LVMH corp and
they'd discover
that Moët and Hennessey were both "gangsta"
type products as well.
They were not happy.
mircea_popescu: the email came from a screenshot in
the link. it found me all
the guy's emails.
reeses: well, in my neighborhood, a lot of poseur gangsta
types smoke brown-wrapped cigarillo-type stinkmakers
reeses: if it's something I can read on my phone or
tablets on
the shitter, all
the bettterretteerre
mircea_popescu: reeses i wrote a
thing and of all
the irc people you're possibly
the only one misanthropic enough
to read it well.
Namworld: Well would you look at
that...
Namworld: It was fully featured and great for
the
time.
Namworld: And highly customizable, such
that someone could create his own server with his own item set and parts
to craft.
mircea_popescu: anyway,
this will probably have a npc-ish
town in
the sense
that it's likely
the first one will be made by me, but i don't intend for
that arrangement
to be permanent.
Namworld: I'm afraid I don't remember
the name.
Namworld: And as such guilds could build
towns/castles and such.
Namworld: But it had features
to build, farm, craft.
Namworld: There was NPC
towns
tho and it wasn't as awesome.
Namworld: In fact
there used
to be something old and similar in 2D
Namworld: This looks like
the dream game I've always wanted.
mircea_popescu: i have not yet heard anyone say "you know what, i
think it'll suck". either i'm really good at filtering my circle or else
this game may be
too cool
to make.
dexX7: from
teh mechanics "Towns will be built by players or not exist"
Namworld: I hadn't noticed
that post about
the game.
Namworld: At
the closest meme generator.
matuszed: someone just liquidate
their portfolio
mircea_popescu: one of
the dumbest douches on
that forum,
the phoenix guy.
pankkake: fanboys don't understand
the word fanboy
mircea_popescu: "Even
the NO side, which I imagine is supported by all of
the #bitcoin-assets fanboys"
mircea_popescu: i used
to do
that back in
the glory days of
the pmbs, coupla years ago, with
the synth assets.
pankkake: I wonder if
they will
take fees
dexX7: just wait
till bfl starts
their "preorder
trading plattform" >.<
bobbabad: you should buy labcoin, even
the CEO says stock will be 10x at end of october
dexX7: lol 4-5 are up compared
to yesterday and
those are all low volume
ChaangNoi: is
there something going on
that i dont know about? why are all stocks way down?
mircea_popescu: the jackpot goes
to
the exact set of players
that played at 1.9% or w/e.
mircea_popescu: it's not different players in
this statistical sampling sense we are using
the
term.
toffoo: mircea_popescu same with
the jackpot. will almost certainly go
to "different players". but if both jackpot and invite rewards
to
to "different players"
then
the real house edge is 1%
pankkake: my guess is
that
there would be zero yes
pankkake: it's just a way
to
test actually believe what
they're saying
dexX7: pankkake: well i guess it would
tend
to "no" anyway
mircea_popescu: toffoo yes but different "players", so it can't go into
the edge discussion.
dexX7: pankkake: is
there a bet for lab?
toffoo: right, but it is still 0.50% of wagers
that is paid
to players, not
the house
mircea_popescu: because playing more or less does in no way improve your chances
to get anything from
the 2nd
thing
toffoo: mircea_popescu why do you
think
that?
toffoo: so both go back
to players eventually
toffoo: and
the other 0.50% into
their ponzi/invite scheme,
toffoo: but 0.48% of
that goes into a jackpot,
toffoo: but I've been
thinking about it and it's really only a 1% edge,
toffoo: Namworld
that's a
typical
thing
to say,
toffoo: dexX7 yes looks
that way
dexX7: toffoo: did
they reset
the accounts?
jurov: mircea_popescu: pls have a look
to withdrawals first
mircea_popescu: i should perhaps write
to explain
the entire us corn situation, seeing how im probably
the only one
that both understands it and isn't sworn
to secrecy
