fractal: although
the investment ROI has stalled in
the past couple weeks... but i
think whoehver bought SD madea mistake ;)
fractal: hey mircea_popescu , what do you
think of just-dice.com ? very impressive IMO.
fractal: well, i gotta run...
talk
to you guys later.
mircea_popescu: "please agree X is a great company
to spare me
the emoptional cost of readjusting with a contrary and grossly dissinterested reality"
Rulother: I'm going
to automatically ignore anyone
that says
that on
the forums
mircea_popescu: rather
than
this underhanded bs. does anyone actually imagine it works ?!
mircea_popescu: hm, did
that bobbard character only drop by
to bitch about mpoe-pr ?!
mircea_popescu: Swift moved
to Nashville,
Tennessee at
the age of fourteen
to pursue a career in country music.
Rulother: Well she just consumes souls and
then writes about it and makes money
ThickAsThieves: meanwhile
Taylor Swift is relieved she is still allowed
to have a soul
mircea_popescu: masturbatory sexualness, i
think it comes as a food additive.
mircea_popescu: what, skin
them, fill
the husk with hay and reannimate it with
the dark arts of necromancy ?
ThickAsThieves: why are people surprised, isnt
this
the Madonna/Cher/Britney formula?
Rulother: She has everyone
talking about her
Rulother: I
think she's a crazy mastermind
mircea_popescu: you're not allowed
to agree with anything if you want a good argument
to keep going
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves i
think it died once fractal said
the magical word i agree
fractal: mircea_popescu: i agree....
thats why law is a difficult field
mircea_popescu: just saying
that
the definitions of words aren't at all
that pinned down as we like
to
think
them
Rulother: So
there's like
two arguements going on at once in here I see
fractal: mircea_popescu: right -- i meants
the 2nd laptop comes with a power cord also
mircea_popescu: you bought a laptop
that'd run for months not for hours.
mircea_popescu: but you can't really run
the laptop w/o power except for
two hours
fractal: mircea_popescu: So, 1 UNIT would be what was required
to operate
the original laptop at advertised specs.... if
the company sent you a 2nd laptop
to make up for
the fact
that your first laptop wasn't good enough -- you received 2 UNITS
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves not sure why
they're
that aggitated anyway.
ThickAsThieves: mp Pale Phoenix really doesnt like you (labcoin
thread) "Perhaps I should be more
tolerant of manic, shrill bullies like PRBot. It must be quite
tragic
to be so sure
that you stand at
the center of
the universe, only
to realize
that you're just another decaying bit of yesterday's news."
fractal: mircea_popescu: depends what your definition of unit is, i suppose.... i
think most people would say its one unit.... but if
there were 2 laptops, because
the first laptop wasn't fast enough, it would be 2 units
fractal: mircea_popescu: you're splitting hairs now i
think ;)
mircea_popescu: bobbabad_ i can ignore you if you absolutely want
that.
bobbabad_: the
two of you are clearly
trolling,
there is now way you can be
that stupid
fractal: jurov:
thats
totally wrong.
thats like saying a BFL single is a UNIT if
they ship 2
to make up for it
mircea_popescu: but seriously, if i buy a laptop, which comes as
two item (power supply + laptop) am i buying one or
two units ?
bobbabad_: mircea_popescu: so you seriously believe
that "Your entire "asset" (Labcoin) consists of Burnside pasting fake
trades
to create an illusion of interest"..
fractal: Anduck: No, its not.
The unit missed performance numbers
fractal: I
think most people, looking at a picture would call 1
thing a UNIT, and 2
things multiple UNITS
mircea_popescu: little will she know
that BITCOIN!!!
touched her life.
Anduck: fractal:
the unit is hashing at 400 ghash.
the unit has more h-boards
that was
told at
the site (when
they ordered) but
that doesn't change
the performance of
the ordered unit
mircea_popescu: i sort-of wonder if after
this people will go have some nice icecream and argue over
the cones with
the poor hapless waitress.
fractal: Anduck: and
that unit is hashing at 380Gh... if
they send some more hardware, it doesn't change
the fact
that
the 400Gh unit is only 380Gh.
mircea_popescu: bobbabad_ it's not a comeback. it's an attempt
to help you start on
the work of self-education. do
try and answer
the question, it's important.
ozbot: Bitfury 400 GH/s Bitcoin Mining Rig Hits US Shores -
The Genesis Block
Anduck: they send
the mining unit
that people ordered
bobbabad_: haha, nice comeback... It fascinates
to
try
to understand
the underlieing motivation of self destruction
fractal: and
the unit didn't meet performance , so
they had
to send more
Anduck: the unit
that a customer has bought
Anduck: ...to meet
the promised performing of
the unit
fractal: thats why
they're shipping more hardware
mircea_popescu: bobbabad_ who are you and why do you
think it matters how
things look
to you ?
Anduck: Bunnyh:
the bet was about advertised performance, not about advertised hardware amount
jurov: Anduck,
they did not even ship 400gh unit/order/whatever. problem solved
Bunnyh: fractal: if
the yes/no decision comes
to
that issue, it will be a really
tough call
mircea_popescu: but
that's
the problem bitbet is resolving. slowly and verbosely.
mircea_popescu: most intellectual spaces have what's called "Terms of art"
to come
to
terms with
the problem
fractal: Bunnyh: right --
they're getting more , but
the actual hardware itself missed specs --
this is what i based my NO bet on
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves it's a problem
this, getting language
to work for
the purpose of communication in a novel space.
bobbabad_: mircea_popescu: I get you
the
two of you like
to cause drama and stir
the pot... but with posts like
that you both just looks like assclowns
Anduck: actually it says
that
they will ship
the units
Bunnyh: fractal: i don't really have a good opinion on how
to decide, if
they did deliver 400GH for everyone who ordered 400GH, and
the
total hardware doesn't consume more power
than advertised (but would consist of more
than 1 master board with 16 hashing boards)
fractal: Anduck:
The bet says what
the bet says. if no 400Gh device is delivered,
the bet is a NO
ThickAsThieves: i missed
this whole argument, but i say, when shit is
this hard
to sort, you are solving
the wrong problem
Anduck: if nobody ordered 400 ghash,
then
they only shipped 25 ghash
kleeck: Are we just saying
the same
thing over and over, guys?
Anduck: jurov: but
thats not really part of
the bet
Anduck: mircea_popescu: what's your opinion about
the "5 delivered orders"
jurov: Anduck, if no one bought 400gh unit,
then
they failed in bigger sense
fractal: Bunnyh: if
the 400Gh doesn't actaully hit 400Gh, would you say
that
the unit did not meet performance ? (Then , if
the company was nice and sent a refund, or more hardware, would it change
the fact
that
the 400Gh unit didn't hit performance hashrate" ?
kleeck: Wow. We're still
talking about
this?
jurov: at least i did not mix shipping and delivery
there
Anduck: jurov:
the "will ship
their 25ghash and 400gash units in
time".. if
there wasn't any 400 ghash units ordered in
the first orders... but it's been proven
that it can be built (why wouldn't it be possible? just attach
the cards) and it will meet
the spec
mod6: i like her, she delivers butthurt
to
the bitcoin masses
