thestringpuller: It was sarcasm foo. When you make sound effects in a game you either make foley or synth
that shit. Given you AREN'T paying for studio sound I don't see how foley artists would even begin
to do
their job. So I assume
the latter. Or perhaps you're going
to buy a pack of prepackaged sound clips.
mircea_popescu: one needs a particular sort of retard hat
to go from here's an ogg
to
there won't be sound.
thestringpuller: fitting since it's more appealing
to just
turn off
the sound of
the game and blast vampire weekend
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller im not concerned with any of
that nonsense and poppycock. i'm making a game.
thestringpuller: and most foley artists you know, come with a studio most of
the
time since
they have a mini-one in
their home...
thestringpuller: The foley artists kinda need a studio for sound effects unless you're going
to use chiptunes...
thestringpuller: what exactly is
the
threshold between "what I will spend/what I won't spend"
mircea_popescu: "According
to
the Daily
Treasury Statement for July 12, which
the U.S.
Treasury released
this afternoon,
the federal debt
that is currently subject
to a legal limit of $16,699,421,095,673.60 has stood at exactly $16,699,396,000,000.00 for 56 straight days. "
Rulother: what do you guys
think cog will peak at?
Rulother: I guess I'll send money over
to havelock now
Rulother: I'm going
to wait
til freaking Sept
ozbot: 15th blown, other statements. pe
Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
ThickAsThieves: and people may find me
to be higher risk
than Burnside
pankkake: interesting - I di dn't factor it
that way but it
turns out I'm already doing it right :p
ThickAsThieves: if you are
trying
to get as many AM for as long as possible,
the whole-shares are usually
the best bet
Rulother: O I really don't and I
think it's reasonable either way
Rulother: I do
try
to get in for divs on Wednesday, but its a gamble for when people sell off
their shares and drop
the price of am
ThickAsThieves: generally I
think people
treat
the 5% mgmt fee
too strongly
mjr_: makes it hard
to calc
ThickAsThieves: well AM divs vary, and only have like 5mos of history, and future share price is pretty hard
to predict
Rulother: True, but for someone like whose buying and selling
them over and over again everyday, Divs are not a big deal
mjr_: isn't it a NPV calculation
ThickAsThieves
ThickAsThieves: I'm just saying it's worth
thinking about how long you plan
to hold
the stock,
to help determine which one
to buy
Rulother: I was just saying
there was a big difference in
the price for
TAT vs pt, when I said
that,
TAT was 4.17 and pt was 4.42
ThickAsThieves: the 5% of dividend mgmt fee should not be
thought of as a 5% less valuable stock outright
Rulother: It just comes down
to
the demand
Rulother: yes yes but sometimes it's a bit more
than 5%
ThickAsThieves: [09:29] <pankkake> Rulother: actually on btct it's not
that lower if you account for
the 5% fee on dividends <<< Yes, but note
that 5% of dividends is something much different
than 5% of price
Rulother: Well I guess it's a good
thing I convinced myself I was just
throwing away money when I made my purchase lol
mjr_: sometime between now and
the end of
time, no guarantees you will be alive
to see
the arrival of Soon
Vbs: I
think reading "BFL" and "soon" in
the same line always kills some neurons
ozbot: Soon - WoWWiki - Your guide
to
the World of Warcraft
Vbs: mircea_popescu: "soon" is already
trademarked, dunno how
they expect
to get away using it carelessly like
that
mjr_: imagine if
that happened at a restaurant every morning lol
mjr_: like "Yay!
they opened for business!!"
mjr_: I really wish I had a business where everyone clapped every
time I opened for business
mjr_: so,
the opening bell is about
to ring...
mjr_: i
thought we were at 223TH
pankkake: Rulother: actually on btct it's not
that lower if you account for
the 5% fee on dividends
mjr_: isn't
the current hash rate like 223,000 GH?
mircea_popescu: <Vbs> "Our hashrate after
the BFL units are delivered (soon): 573 gh/s" <<< epic.
pankkake: makes me want
to sell
the PTs for
TATs…
though my objective was
the reverse
Rulother: Damn why is
the
tat-am so much lower
than
the am-pt :|
jurov: but if you must, i suggest
to bribe ukto or burnside or parseval
to include
the chan as a
trollbox
mjr_: that is
the prime demographic
mjr_: but does
that cater
to people who simply want
to enjoy some nonsense by smalltimers?
mjr_: mircea_popescu: you had
that great article about
that style of investing right?
jurov: oh, and isn't
there /r/bitcoinstocks already?
mjr_: "so glad
to see so many new faces, if i can leave you with one piece of advice, it is
this:
Trade purely based on your emotions and on rumors you hear about "hot" investment opportunities!"
mjr_: but, if you change
the order book, you diverge from
the real market data
mjr_: you have
to simulate executions
mjr_: well,
that is
the hard
thing about demo accounts
jurov: but could not figure out how
to match
them against real mpex market
jurov: rly, i had some
thoughts about demo coinbr accounts with virtual bitcoins...
Vbs: lots of lunch money
to invest
there
mjr_: it is our entry level High Frequency
Trading for beginners
mjr_: i will be hosting a seminar on "how
to see most of your bitcoin be lost
to
transaction fees" if anyone is interested
Vbs: "How
to invest your extra lunch money" would be a good start
mjr_: hey someone's got
to do it
matthew_boyd: mircea_popescu, "i wasn't understanding wtf got into
the matthew_boyd kid" -- What? :P
Vbs: thank god you were here
today mjr_ xD
mjr_: i
think
the motto in #smalltimer-nonsense is wait for everyone else
to move
their money somewhere, and
then buy
the
top
mjr_: how has everyone ignored
this market for so long?
mjr_: how
to maximize return on your <1 bitcoins
mjr_: i am hoping
to become
the premier location for sub bitcoin investment advice
jurov: hmmmm... but
then i need
to figure some limited accounts without 0.09 monthly fee
mjr_: jurov: i would love
that
Vbs: Maybe
they are shipping one day per year
Rulother: The day after
the damn price change
