mike_c: ok. so .co isn't coming back
assbot: BPS Research Digest: What the textbooks don't tell you - one of psychology's most famous experiments was seriously flawed
benkay: and they can't "let go of banana" and write a real wallet, adding value to the ecosystem.
benkay: asciilifeform: even if they could reimplement the thing from scratch, it still wouldn't touch btc proper.
asciilifeform: can't let go of banana.
benkay: pankkake: yeah, i know what you're saying. this discussion hearkens back to a thing a wise old man harps on about how if you can have the patience to see past the next 6 months to two years you can make trades the rest of the market won't consider because they want 17%/annum *now*
benkay: i guess a hedge against ether going somewhere isn't such a bad idea, but it totally fails the good investments criteria.
pankkake: I think that's incorrect too. it allows you to get a better price if you're long, or MAYBE short it as long as you think it's won't go as low as 2.5x less
benkay: this rescanning the blockchain thing is a total bitch, isn't it?
pankkake: I gave the private key to MP at a time I wasn't sure I could even transfer the coins in a timely manner

mthreat: mircea_popescu: because i don't know good vs. bad coffee probably, and it's the 2nd closest after Cafe Martinez (probably worse)
mthreat: asciilifeform: I don't remember, maybe, but it sounded like a relay...
mircea_popescu: mike_c how do you know the date if you don';t have other things (presumably, the girl ?) figured out ?
mike_c: sometimes this channel is a sausage fest. save the date's are very reasonable. you don't have all the details figured out, but you know the day and don't want people to book something else.
mircea_popescu: "Dear lord this is absolutely fucking grade-A insane. I had to read that first paragraph 4 times just because I just couldn't believe somebody would ever intentionally write something so convoluted. And it doesn't improve as the paper continues. In all seriousness, this reads almost exactly like the deranged manifestos that are left behind by school shooters, that is the vibe I get from whatever the fuck you want to ca
mircea_popescu: translation : "that asshole mp is putting pressure on our liquidity providers (what, you didn't think we OWNED the btc we're presenting as having been invested by third parties ?!) and so we won't be able to keep the charade up without recirculating some capital. sorry!"
mircea_popescu: fluffypony: "- We reserve the right to use up to 5000 BTC from the pre-sale while the pre-sale is running in order to speed up development." << funny they didn't reserve it before the fucking thing started.

danielpbarron: even though their terms of use don't explicitly forbid buying/selling meat
BingoBoingo: nubbins`: Didn't you get the memo that BTC is money for games?
dub: not uncommon here but I don't really get it
cazalla: i won't pretend to know much about it other than what i said, law states they must add it to bread here, marketed to help the fetus yet women aren't falling pregnant, sounds more like a marketing pitch - here's a donut with folate, any excuse to buy it
cazalla: actually, bread is folic acid, yet these women don't have babies
BingoBoingo: Next cheapest and my current option is AT&T go phone
shesek: the website doesn't really say much, either

decimation: asciilifeform don't you need to refigerate solder paste?
decimation: I wouldn't mind building something like this one day: http://www.vtwilson.net/telescope.html (complete with russian military satellite observatory)
decimation: asciilifeform if you aren't making stencils with laser cutter, what are you making? custom circuit-board etchings?
justusranvier: mircea_popescu: What happens if by next March 15th, the Ethereum network isn't sufficiently functional for you to be able to deliver Ethers to the people who take you up on your offer?
mircea_popescu: canada hasn't had a good musician since cohen visited and the us...
mike_c: hey, it's better than how our gov't spends its money..
nubbins`: and nobody wants to get blacklisted, 'cause ain't nobody but the government giving out free money
nubbins`: that's the thing about grants, you get blacklisted if you don't produce (a) your work and (b) your receipts
nubbins`: BingoBoingo i don't think many bands here would be into a 2k minimum ;(
BingoBoingo finds it interesting that in a few years on patent Atypical Antipsychotics will dry up, and the next pivot isn't apparent on the horizon yet.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> BingoBoingo stop opposing research and job creating funding in research and SCIENCE and global warming. << I'm fighting marketing. Just because pharma doesn't want to compete with Tesla's 1337 battery factory doesn't mean that there are better uses for those salts than motor carriages and iBortions.
BingoBoingo: dub> they give lithium in cases of extreme psychosis << Also they don't really give lithium much for psychosis anymore which is a shame considering how well it works...
midnightmagic: i didn't know until afterwards that the water was contaminated. they sell it as a health spa.

mircea_popescu: nubbins` lawyer is a noun. get it ? A NOUN. you don't want it to sue you.,
copumpkin: hell, I can't even remember the last time I handled physical media
BingoBoingo: But if he didn't submit himself to civilization
mircea_popescu: <BingoBoingo> What was Hearn's nick? << i don't recall he ever managing to figure out the gpg arcana. i imagine he'll first have to implement a google code version, that doesn't work.
mircea_popescu: which shouldn't be surprising : anyone can be a very ambitious failed painter or w/e mediocrity.
mircea_popescu: but anyway, this isn't in any sense a dispute pitting flaming social justice warriors and other braindamaged kids trying to make the world "liberal" a la copumpkin against cold hard reality.
mircea_popescu: obviously the fact that time has meanwhile proven my points doesn't in any sense help.
mircea_popescu: benkay o, i don't imagine his recent derpage has any substance to it, merely him trying his best at crafting effectual calumny.
mike_c: BingoBoingo: yeah, it didn't seem completely retarded. i had attached some of that feeling to this ethereum thingy. didn't realize it was just a complete nothing.
mike_c: i didn't think we were there yet.
BingoBoingo: Ah. Electrum wallet (split into online and offline components like armory) plus one's own electrum server actually doesn't seem like a bad wallet solution atm
mike_c: also, it's possible they didn't know about the better offer yet.
mike_c: isn't ethereum a wallet or something?
mircea_popescu: bitstein it's not just money, either. consider my earlier quoted piece about how "you can't police other people's oppression".
FoOdies: god damn it don't I know it
mircea_popescu: FoOdies arguably the life of one who's never heard of weev isn't that precious.
FoOdies: I can't believe I took 10 minutes of my precious life to read about some mentally retarded homophobic racist conspiracy nutjob hacker
bitstein: I don't think so.
mircea_popescu: course they won't notice. anything to avoid that ego wound. but still...
mircea_popescu: finding yourself confronted with the sad reality that people aren't equal and groups suck.
thickasthieves: "What we don't have is a service or good which is unique to Doge which offers such an incentive to use the currency that Fiat will not dare pee on our post." full circle
BingoBoingo: Posting memes and jokes won't do. We have the community, and we have the social media reach. What we don't have is a service or good which is unique to Doge which offers such an incentive to use the currency that Fiat will not dare pee on our post."

BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Well atm during their pre-sale they price their coins off of a timer, with 1 BTC buying less coins as the timer increments. Haven't seen the details.
asciilifeform: carnegie mellon << 'Silicon Valley, unlike their Victorian forebears, do not realize that, if they want all this science, they will actually have to pay for it - themselves. Instead, they look at their tax forms and think: I gave at the office. But they didn't. They gave to scientocracy. Now, they need to figure out how to patronize science - or there will be no science. Just scientific Bondo, sanded to perfecti ☟︎
mircea_popescu: http://discuss.joelonsoftware.com/default.asp?joel.3.219431 << as usual, joel gets it exactly right. this is why i hate - not frameworks - but java. and all the other hipster languages ran by children with delusions of skills and importance they don't actually have.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Well in that article space isn't important, because aliens go to hell
danielpbarron: the -otc crowd says I don't know how to rate

mircea_popescu: at least mine don't look like shit.
mircea_popescu: punkman: this is quite common: if C trusts the B->A connection, but A doesn't trust B->C, then C will often "send first" as to eliminate risk for A at his expense. << https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=359006.msg4858300#msg4858300 that concept illustrated.

pankkake: I know I have a jewish antisemite ancestor, but I don't know how much jew is left
mircea_popescu: nah, jews can't have big cocks
mircea_popescu: pankkake they don't have to be lying. they could just be stupid. or you know, trained into superficial stupidity by a website dedicated to doing exactly that
bitstein: I really don't appreciate how the Reddit community is judging me by the size of my nose, the length of my beard, and the wringing of my hands.

assbot: I'm Hoarding Bitcoins, and No You Can't Have Any | Satoshi Nakamoto Institute
pankkake: TF isn't claiming he's a Trusted Member yet, otherwise it's textbook goat
mircea_popescu: chetty: perhaps I should have said, shouldn't be. people do manage all sorts of stupids << dun worry about it. the fuckwit has found the perfect palliative to learning how things that work work, and the submission and ego wound implicit in such learning : he's going to CREATE something that's BETTER.
