lordshipomokeli: so why should a company keep it's investors happy then?
dub: theres an education network round these parts claiming a 2T backbone but 5 to the node seems a little way off
dub: because 5Tb to a server is so common, easy mistake to make
lordshipomokeli: yeah, i think it's clear, that it's storage vs. bandwidth, but it was confusing to mix both as the proper continuation in this case would be "unlimited" .. that lead to my question :)
Namworld: It's intended that way.
Namworld: lord, it's not 5 Tbps
jborkl: a little exlax in it will speed it through the blockchain
lordshipomokeli: Namworld: https://www.bitvps.com/dedicated-servers -- 5 TB vs 100 Mbps, not sure if intended

KRS-: I took a hot shit.
mircea_popescu: I would love to do such a thing so if someone wants to talk to me about it, PM me please."
mircea_popescu: "If I could raise thousands of Bitcoins, I'd allocate it to 2 or 3 really good, unique projects which are well beyond the paperwork stage. And it'd still be high risk, just rather less of one.
nubbins`: there's a male tv chef named pasquale
mircea_popescu: i think it means playboy bunny
Namworld: Ah, thanks mircea

ThickAsThieves: but english-speakers do seem to be second-class now

mircea_popescu: this is the fucking problem with big schlongs. i was doing this chick earlier, and she was all tight andf sweet
Namworld: Well I don't find it too hard, actually.
kakobrekla: its good to be the king
mircea_popescu: Apocalyptic problem with monarchy is that the king sucks.
Apocalyptic: you switched from IT to finance Namworld, of course you do
usagi: but you had to work hard to get to that point
Namworld: I work less and earn more. Not that someone gave it to me on a platter...
Apocalyptic: in that sense monarchy is great (in other senses too)
mircea_popescu: the only thing the mob can agree on is that it needs to work less, to be paid more or to work less and be paid more.
mircea_popescu: mike_c this is why democracy doesn't work
mike_c: yes, but if you don't the electors kick you out.
Namworld: Then decades down the road, you're out of gas for insta-gratifying electors.
Namworld: When you spend on a whim just because of what the electors want now instead of what needs to be done for the long-term, you get into debt wasting money on unimportant stuff or overdoing things.
mircea_popescu: popescu is the most common romanian family name
Apocalyptic: funny thing: today at the movies i saw a Simona Popescu in the credits, it that a common romanian name or is someone of your family working on shitty holywood films mircea ?
mircea_popescu: "There are 700,000 citizens who don't deserve a 55 minute rapid response time, who don't deserve endemic blight and crime, who don't deserve no hope and future and just continued debt over debt and borrowing," he said.
mircea_popescu: During a conference on Friday in which he defended the bankruptcy suit, Orr said that he was aware that there were 20,000 retirees and 97,000 workers who may suffer, but the majority of people in Detroit would benefit.
mircea_popescu: this is pretty much the future of the us.
ozbot: Judge orders Detroit to pull bankruptcy bid - Americas - Al Jazeera English
usagi: If he did buy it I would probably start buying s.dice shares again. then again its pvt now
usagi: since he already runs mpex, it would be good to run s.dice out of romania
usagi: Although if Mircea did buy it that would probably be the best thing for satoshidice, and there would be no reason to remain anonymous
ThickAsThieves: I'd accept yours and Erik's testimony
usagi: I don't think Mr. Popescu bought it.
ThickAsThieves: his position to buy looks a lot different than anyone else
ThickAsThieves: well thats partly why i was betting on MP
usagi: And the very limited number of parties who would do that given what satoshidice is
usagi: Whats more interesting is not who bought it but why they paid so much
usagi: I'm almost afraid to ask
usagi: If you want to break into game design, you dont go for the next angry birds -- thats not copying rovio. Copying rovio is putting out 30 shitty games and then getting lucky with angry birds.
ThickAsThieves: in this case me having more shares than i need is intentional,
usagi: I can't wait to play it actually but given HL3's delays Im not holding my breath
mircea_popescu: so very technically, an investor
mike_c: well, the game already slipped. clearly it's vaporware.
ThickAsThieves: it's funny that people like thestringpuller and this guy today all presume mp will do the worst possible thing
ThickAsThieves: that also didnt understand that running a PT means i'm a middleman, not necessarily an invetsor
ThickAsThieves: just another gamer industry guy predicting the failure of SMG
usagi: I got a PM asking me to invest in a security that gambled all it's investments on just-dice
mike_c: don't leave us hanging, what was the warning?
usagi: a troll?
ThickAsThieves: like the inevitable weekly "when are divs?" messages
usagi: Well, you can make money doing that I hear
ThickAsThieves: now i havce to deal with the rubes
Apocalyptic: usagi, not negating it completely though
