Diablo-D3: if it did, WOMEN WOULD QUIT TALKING ABOUT IT AND ENJOY THEIR EQUAL SALARIES AND EQUAL CHANCES AT JOBS
KRS1: Sorry, I tend to come off a bit blunt for our panty-waist modern society. I think it all started because of women's lib.
KRS1: Kirk Douglas said he got throat cancer like that- from eating pussy.
ThickAsThieves: "This study looked at HPV's link with cancer of the back of the throat"
dub: yeah, wheres that data
ThickAsThieves: you connect the dots...
ozbot: BBC News - HPV virus 'linked to third of throat cancer cases'
ThickAsThieves: it does that sometimes
thestringpuller: good time to buy
assbot: Last trade for S.MPOE on MPEX was at 0.00088549 BTC [-]
PirateKitteh: You guys rock. I am trying to get up some funds to but more shares on Havelock.
PirateKitteh: Long Live ThickAsThieves!
dub: amc takes 24 vol lead on btcttctc
mod6: FabianB: hmm, ok. it seems to me that blockchain.info gets off more than blockexplorer.com. but *shrug*
mircea_popescu: literally no reason to even consider it anything else.
mircea_popescu: rulother-gs im not convinced, it's just the standard presumption.
dexX7: i see, thanks for clearing this missunderstanding.. :)
FabianB: dexX7: it doesn't indicate sales or buys, it's relative to the previous trade
dexX7: <@assbot> [BTCTC] [AMC-PT] 250 @ 0.0025 = 0.625 BTC [-] << shouldn't it show a [+] as they were bought and not sold?
rulother-gs: So you seem pretty convinced that am is a scam
mircea_popescu: exactly goat's moves with the pirate bonds back in the day
ThickAsThieves: the cost being the exchange's trade fees
ThickAsThieves: so basically they AMC guy is pretty smart
KRS1: what is up with hashrack seems too good of a deal
ThickAsThieves: looks like he built the shapes with code
ThickAsThieves: I thought graphics weren't allowed on the forum ads?
Namworld: Well I'll be out for the weekend, goodbye
Namworld: What kind of nonsense is that...
Namworld: Is that really a thing?
mircea_popescu: ie, the mistaken belief that ancient romans wore stetsons and those rhinestone abominations around their necks
mircea_popescu: Namworld this'd be anachronism
Namworld: BTC-E trollbox is irrelevant =/
Namworld: I'm pretty sure no one was spared and crap was popular too pretty much throughout history, just like today. What was bad just wasn't deemed worthy of preserving.
Guest54006: LOL trollbox on btc-e is saying how the first bitcoin transaction was in 1972
mircea_popescu: it wasn't discarded from history, it was discarded from life too.
mircea_popescu: and the discarding from history as irrelevant started at age three.
mircea_popescu: exactly. that's the point.
Namworld: I'm sure there was plenty of bad and of nonsense back then too
Namworld: Good plays still exist. You just have to go dig through all the nonsense.
mircea_popescu: let there be violence and disease and good fucking plays at the opera.
jurov: i'd take such pink literary shit over violence and diseases any time.
jurov: wtf does that have with socialism
mircea_popescu: stalin's soviet realism and america's purple prose crap are the syphilitic sores of why socialism does not work
peterl: right, but did you really have to repeat it?
mircea_popescu: i don't think it's worth praising in the slightest. i think it has to be pointed out it's the foremost art coming out of the bankrupt ideology of socialism.
peterl: I am sure you could find rubbish from 100 years ago to compare it with
peterl: but does anybody think it is art worth praising?
peterl: oops, sorry, I always want to put an e at the end, must be the english in me, we don't like words ending in u
mircea_popescu: anyway. purple prose, it's a thing. pretty much the only usable literary output of our american friends. roughly the equivalent of kitsch, something to laugh at smugly.
peterl: mircea_popescue: what is this garbage?
usagi: Apocalyptic; I teach privately
mircea_popescu: if anyone feels like reading some of the most amusing purple prose i've seen this month
ozbot: Art over time, a graph of progress. pe Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
usagi: I wish I could quit my job and just write computer programs all day. if I could do that I would turn netwhack into a game that rivals nethack, for starters
usagi: Of course it's a mere trifle, a side project I was into for a couple of months/years on and off, it could be much more than it is now
usagi: Of course I'd work on it and add a few more levels, finish it, but I wonder if he thinks it has potential?
usagi: I wonder if Mircea would like to publish my game, http://tsukino.ca/play-netwhack/ in S.MG?
peterl: won't they just use a sockpuppet account?
ThickAsThieves: this seems somewhat retarded to me
ThickAsThieves: Burnside is talking about highlighting orders made by the issuer
peterl: oh,ok, what I meant is are you going to keep some as reserve or pay out all the profits as dividend?
Namworld: It's made public to everyone at the same time.
Namworld: Everyone ask... I can't disclose how it's performing like that. I prefer it go out as an official announcement at the end of each month, on the website.
peterl: what sort of dividend will bitvps have this month?
peterl: can't and won't are not nescesarily the same thing
Namworld: People expect some kind of privacy as to what stuff they purchase.
Namworld: He can't because it would piss people if anyone can just ask and burnside just tell back: Oh yeah, that guy is buying.
peterl: unless you sell into the bid and see where the shares end up
jurov: oh yes, it won't show the bid
jurov: if the ask is too high that only issuer account has so many shares
peterl: that wouldn't show who is doing the bid
peterl: doesn't he control the database?
peterl: I doubt he would tell us something like that?
Namworld: burnside can't tell who make bids/asks...
peterl: ask burnsides to check which account it is?
mircea_popescu: how'd we settle this tho ?
mircea_popescu: i'm with the issuer theory
Namworld: I bet it's a confused individual thinking it's AsicMiner
peterl: namworld: ThickAsThieves: https://btct.co/security/AMC-PT bets on whether both the top bid & ask are the issuer?
peterl: TAT: who else would have or want that many shares?
ozbot: BTC-TC: BTC Trading Corp - View Security
ThickAsThieves: https://btct.co/security/AMC-PT bets on whether both the top bid & ask are the issuer?
ThickAsThieves: "Any Final Rule Should Clarify that Irrevocable Transactions May ServeLegitimate Purposes"
ThickAsThieves: currencies in general should be subject to a higher degree of scrutiny, and thechilling effect this could have on the still nascent bitcoin industry. The Bitcoin Foundation isalso concerned that certain statements could lead to confusion concerning the money launderingregulatory framework as applied to virtual currencies in general and bitcoin in particular."
ThickAsThieves: "However, the Bitcoin Foundation is concerned that the statements in question may bemisinterpreted to suggest that all virtual currency operators are inherently suspect. In particular,the Bitcoin Foundation is concerned that the statements will be misread by the financialinstitutions implementing the final rule adopted in this proceeding (the “Final Rule”) to suggestthat virtual
usagi: Because of the death penalty for forging paper money in china, the use of red ink became taboo and even today there remains a strong belief that to write someone's name in red ink means that they will die.
mircea_popescu: isn't it perhaps time the blogging foundation moves off scribd to say wordpress ?
usagi: "Amazingly, the Chinese only used paper money on any meaningful scale for about 300 years of a 400 year period between 1050 and 1450, overlapping the Song, Yuan (Mongol), and Ming dynasties." - http://www.computersmiths.com/chineseinvention/papermoney.htm
peterl: I mean like is that 1000 ad or 2000 bc?
usagi: I dunno i'm flying by wire, I took chinese history in university
peterl: could you give a year range for yuan, tang and qing dynasties for the non-chinese historically adept?
usagi: After that time the concept of failure of "1000 year bonds" became so ingrained in the culture, they were so successful educating people on their own monetary history, they didn't return to paper money until the qing dynasty
usagi: The chinese invented paper money and perpetual bonds during the yuan and tang dynasties iirc
ThickAsThieves: [05:38] <DeaDTerra> I am working for OpenCoin and then a swedish fixed exchanged called btcx.se :)
ThickAsThieves: i'm guesssing it's in a channel chat log somewhere, but not up to digging
mircea_popescu: two heads are better than one when it comes to "hmm, was it edited or wtf ?!"
mircea_popescu: this is one of the more subtle advantages of having pr ppls to read your shit for you.
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves is there some way you can be sure ?
ThickAsThieves: so choose to believe me or not to
mircea_popescu: peterl shareholder's generally. they don't get to have a say in how company is run.
