Kleeck_: But for real. You can have some goddamn secure OS run
TOR and e-mail
the shit out of some Govs.
optimator: Kleeck_: everything is as strong as it's weakest link - not everyone realizes
that
Kleeck_: The issue wasn't
TOR, it was Java.
Kleeck_: Linux +
TORMAIL = FREEEEEEEDOM!
optimator: "I would _strongly_ recommend against anyone
trusting
their private data
to a company with physical
ties
to
the United States."
Kleeck_: Gah.
That guy is a lousy sock puppet! (<3
TAT)
mircea_popescu: he's on
the board and running some investor polling questions
thing
mircea_popescu: Kleeck_
the best you can come
to
that i guess would be people like
ThickAsThieves
Hollywood: no, really I do
think so. You have a way with words, it is a
talent
Kleeck_: I just want
to
talk about
this price dip with some jabrones.
Hollywood: mircea is by far
the best writer I have ever read.
mircea_popescu: not as remarkable if you
think i've been at it for years.
kakobrekla: maybe labcoin is a way for alberto
to pay up for BDT
ozbot: Greek Villagers Chase

Town | Zero Hedge
kakobrekla: "this guy knows how
to make pdfs, for sure he is capable of making asic"
mircea_popescu: people need
to learn
to use open and accessible formats not fucking pds and google docs.
mircea_popescu: some guy was here dropping
that link. i never read it.
dexX7: so far my "research" showed
that almost everything is made up
dexX7: dvdr created
this doc earlier
this day
dexX7: sam noi is one of
the labcoin guys
dexX7: is
there any reason
to believe
that samuel noi is user delaria of bitcointalk?
optimator: i
think @assbot is it - good luck with him - he's been a bitch
mircea_popescu: usually people who get called out for lieing
tend
to
take a little
time off.
optimator: fuck i'm gonna bet
that it's good news
optimator: crazy... scammers and
the elite recognize
the change
that is forced upon
the world, everyone else suffers in ostrich silence.
mircea_popescu: it's pretty good documentation of what a
totalitarian regime looks like early on.
mircea_popescu: anyway, read up on
the magnificent hedges vs obama case,
mircea_popescu: a, don't get me wrong, i don't really want
them
to anything in particular. not really my business.
optimator: but people change in december. you & i would have liked
them
to change in april... but it
takes until december
mircea_popescu: basically
the current administration is no different from
trendon shavers
gribble: userioao was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 3 days, 12 hours, 45 minutes, and 16 seconds ago: <userioao> Can anyone recommend a side
to buy prepaid virtual CC via bitcoin?
mircea_popescu: optimator problem is by
the
time
they see it
the culprits will have long left
the room.
optimator: eventually
they see what we see
today
optimator: sure -
the price of progress -
time.
The sheer size of
the populace
trumps
the
technocrats ideology
mircea_popescu: i
think
the populace first spends a decade or
two without power or groceries.
optimator: "hardly alive" - but it does embolden
the populace. And
the populace will be
the ones who challenge
the status quo... after
they've seen
the lions in
the arena waiting
to eat
them
mircea_popescu: as it was already
the case once or
twice last year, once before
that and a couple of
times
this year already.
mircea_popescu: should
the supreme court affirm...
they just ignore it.
mircea_popescu: hardly alive.
the us government is by now out of control, entirely. if a district judge orders something
they just appeal it. if
the appelate court concurs
they appeal again.
optimator: mircea_popescu: "if i had a penny for every district judge" - I love
that part. I love
that some judges just
thumb
their noses at
the federal government. States rights seem
to be alive...
optimator: if only we knew who
the pass
throughs were
optimator: Hollywood: yeah. was
that
the delta number? 135K of
transactions
to pass
throughs
they can't figure out?
mircea_popescu: dexX7 if i had a penny for every district judge
that ruled obamacare unconstitutional...
Hollywood: the most interesting pary was 1.
they have 135,000 lost and cant find cloud 2. pirate like rub and
tugs
optimator: hummm.. interesting
thought - I certainly wouldn't discount it
mircea_popescu: dexX7 magistrate judges stand
to district judges roughly in
the relationship paralegals stand
to lawyers.
mircea_popescu: the sec working with some random malfeasant
to establish imaginary authorities over stuff
mircea_popescu: optimator i half suspect
the whole
thing is a staged operation.
optimator: i
think I would have asked for a ruling... unless I'd blown all my btc on day spas...
dexX7: but is
this new? i assumed
that
the fincen guidelines already implied something similar
dexX7: so
this might be used as reference for upcoming cases, but a magistrate judge's word doesn't have
the same weight (obviously) as a surpreme court ruling
mircea_popescu: anyway,
the matter was fundamentally arbitration, handled by a magistrate judge by apparent consent of
the parties.
optimator: dexX7: in
TX, yes for
that federal district. But, we must either a) wait for other districts
to rule
the same; or b) wait for SCOTUS
to rule
the same
mircea_popescu: dexX7 it will certainly be presented as such by
teh us government.
dexX7: does
the fact
that
the judge used "btc = money" in
the pirateat40 case
this statement applicable in general/law?
mircea_popescu: ate civil cases in
the same manner as a district judge, including presiding over jury or non-jury
trials."
mircea_popescu: "In civil proceedings, magistrate judges
typically manage discovery and other pretrial matters.
They are authorized
to issue orders in pretrial matters as long as
the order is not dispositive of
the case as a whole (such as an order granting summary judgment).
They may also be assigned
to write reports and recommendations
to
the district judge as
to dispositive matters. With
the consent of
the parties,
they may adjudic
VanCleef_: heh, guess dont have
to
take
this news
too seriously?
mircea_popescu: VanCleef_ oppinions of random magistrate judge in
texas' poorest district be about as relevant as pirates'
VanCleef_: but american gov sets
the rules for bitcoin
these days
optimator: that is, people weren't calculating when
the diff change happened, iirc also
optimator: i
think where
the diff change occurred
tripped
that bet up
optimator: mircea_popescu: well
that's a 12% increase over
the next 3 diff changes
to make
that bet
true
ozbot: BitBet - BTC network difficulty
tops 52 million by end of August
optimator: but,
the market depth just depresses me
optimator: hard not
to make a big asicminer bet - pins & needles
mircea_popescu: well seeing how
the market and skilling work on
their own i'd say i play about 24/7
mircea_popescu: So, you want
to start an IPO. Unfortunately, you've had problems/are having problems/are worried about having problems with
