jonvaage: I don't think it's out of love for democracy.
asciilifeform: i just don't get it. people keep asking to bake 'democracy' in
asciilifeform: ^ don't have such a thing myself, can't comment
BingoBoingo: Of course, but aesthetics can justify a lot of things. Atomic clocks aren't that expensive, but not wrist portable. Quartz an dmechanical movements alike have become sweat shop products. The tuning fork electromechanical stuff though has to be sought out as it lost
asciilifeform doesn't get the point
BingoBoingo: I can't get over the Rolex Submariner's pointy bazel
RainMan28: I can't purchase a suit or a desktop computer, please trust me with your $30,000
RainMan28: when I read that, wasn't sure if he was trolling
bloctoc_: If I ever put together an investor deck (which I won't) I swear to assbot that I will ask for a "new suit and used rolex submariner"
RainMan28: yeah, for anyone wanting the tl;dr version, ninjashogun has been soliciting a $30,000 investment daily in bitcoin-otc for the past few days and doesn't seem to be who he says he is. Maybe just a scammer, but maybe something other than that too. Not sure.
benkay: although can't complain about the .02 btc per 'footie' bet bitbet's going to pull down
gribble: Error: You haven't asked me a command; perhaps you want to see someone else's more. To do so, call this command with that person's nick.
benkay: don't get into business with people you don't trust.
Mats_cd03: unfucking something you didn't do is a low circle of hell
pankkake: I didn't get it
cgcardona: xmj: I don't know my history so to speak. can you explain more how what you're saying relates to today's news?
rithm: i can't tell
cgcardona: who exactly will announce a price? surely not the USMS right? wouldn't it be barry and/or another bidder?
rithm: mircea isn't here trolling
cgcardona: i didn't get to go into the valley this time though. too busy w/ work
assbot: Kalalau http://t.co/qy5JBAmh9a
cgcardona: yea. we were planning on doing 6 months on island but my wife isn't diggint it here too much this time so we're headed out a month early
cgcardona: (if you consider santa cruz "the bay area". many don't)
TomServo: Ah - I thought you were implying it wasn't and there was a chance it could go the other way.
mike_c: doesn't mean he didn't have an advantage when he bought it
mike_c: now, in your case that time value didn't work out.
punkman: yeah but let's say death stays at %70 for the rest of the game. Someoney buying 1k ATC at year 950 gets the same amount as the guy that bought on year 437. Shouldn't the earlier guy win more?
punkman: mike_c, is there a reason it doesn't have any sort of time weight when buying shares?
punkman: mike_c: great game btw, can't wait to see how it works with more players
punkman: can't lose my money fast enough!
punkman: mike_c: about bomb sniping, you could let people bid in advance (maybe with some limit logic), so they don't have to watch until the last minute
BingoBoingo: ;;later tell mircea_popescu mp_on a boat To experiment with blockchain bloat. Thankfully NMC miners don't like big transactions
thestringpuller: isn't 8 hours the norm?
mthreat: benkay: just saw it but didn't read it, is it good?
dignork: yep, but first solution doesn't need one
pankkake: I don't know, I heard it on the radio while waking up, so I'm fuzzy on who did it
Apocalyptic: pankkake, didn't France too ?
pankkake: didn't a few states start accounting for the black market in their GDP?
asciilifeform: chip only << it really isn't hard to mount these yourself. odd that no one has fessed up to doing so.
mp_on_a_boat: justusranvier, i think that arrangement may suffer from statistical problems i don't readily grasp.
fluffypony: mp_on_a_boat: nah, she just wasn't one of those fun pornstars, she was one of those still-at-the-bottom-looking-for-a-rich-boyfriend types
fluffypony: as long as they don't understand the word "fuck" it's fine
assbot: I'm On A Boat (ft. T-Pain) - Album Version - YouTube
pankkake: dirigibles don't work on the moon
benkay: subject of dogs, my monster was just eating breakfast when something happened outside that caught his attention. he howled at it but with a throat full of food so it came out in this hilariously muffled "wooooOOoOooOOoo", after which he coughed his food up onto the floor, 'cause naturally the body doesn't like doing all of those things at the same time.
asciilifeform: pankkake: doesn't exist yet, and it already modified my crypto processes >> impatient man can, theoretically, make his own, just based on the description.
pankkake: doesn't really provide WoT, just unique identities
pankkake: funny how the Cardano doesn't exist yet, and it already modified my crypto processes
ThickAsThieves: question, what if we don't find out what the coins were purchased for at auction today, and we have to wait for a FOIA request or such? (re: http://bitbet.us/bet/951/silk-road-coin-auction-extravaganza/)
fluffypony: can't believe they can jam 1tb into that
pankkake: jurov: I want to buy, but I can't because the wire isn't done yet
jurov: pankkake i still don't understand. regardless if you sell at otc or on exchange, the moment sepa transfer is initiated, the price is fixed anyway
pankkake: well my bank is closed today I think, so that won't be today either
BingoBoingo: %t
justusranvier: Both of my dogs are bitches. They squabble fairly frequently, but don't need to draw blood.
BingoBoingo: Then you aren't my brother and he is not you.
BingoBoingo: You aren;t a dentist are you?
BingoBoingo: In other news justusranvier My brother's dog gets its stutches out tomorrow. My brother isn't a synthetic of you is he???
BingoBoingo: Honestly my biggest problem with a lot of the cryptocoin derps isn't that they don't know the history, but that they don't know how many corners the history has.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: It isn't but I offered the more deniable choice.
BingoBoingo: Oh, knotwork isn't here nao
asciilifeform: didn't say profitable 'for whom'
BingoBoingo: Mar 20 21:52:16 <ninjashogun>On the other hand for text analysis reasons I don't think he should post even anonymized quotes. Most people's writing is extremely characteristic << The UnSavory Garnish reveals he is indeed a Vegetable
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I imagine for ~90% of people who have BTC fortunes an aren't retards with ridiculous burn rates, they wait for the terraforming wrought by more adventurous holders
mircea_popescu: so i'm going to check out uruguay. if i don't show up for a day or so, don't panic, i still love you.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform stoic doesn't watch, stoic sleeps
mircea_popescu: <BingoBoingo> Little do they realize that this channel is largely a bunch of happy paupers << it wouldn't surprise me if stoics were indeed the majority.
asciilifeform: the exchange described above usually happened in class, where you can't square off
mthreat: kakobrekla: but suffix searches like "*foo" don't work
mthreat: kakobrekla: there isn't a specific way to search for filenames... just try to search for a token in the filename, or use a prefix search like "foo*"
mircea_popescu: didn't he drop the berylium ?
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> actual english word << i know what it means, but i also never met a von newman that couldn't code.
asciilifeform: 'can you play the cello?' 'don't know, never tried'
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> woman: 'i am member of anonymous11! i support wikileaks! but i haven't any idea how to program, i write poetry.' << shoulda asked her "how do you know ?"
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: You can, but you can't advertise that you do
asciilifeform: can't use pgp and 'stand under the flag' pg stands under.
mircea_popescu: <benkay> wow paul graham doesn't appear to have published a pgp key. << why would he lol.
asciilifeform: (t's bomb - didn't work)
asciilifeform: much more interesting woman: walked into coffee shop, proclaims at the top of her lungs: 'i've been standing in front of this place all day, and you won't give me a free drink!' clerk: '...' woman: 'know what? i own this place! you're all fired!' clerk: [unintelligible] woman: 'sure, i'll wait for the police. [pulls out phone, films]' police come. woman led outside, 'i will have the lot of you fired! last time p
BingoBoingo: Well, since the NSA isn't likely far ahead cryptographically anymore other than sabotaging the systems of others. I have to wonder what sorts of goodies they might have as far as signit goes.
asciilifeform: woman: 'i am member of anonymous11! i support wikileaks! but i haven't any idea how to program, i write poetry.'
BingoBoingo: Game of the week still doesn't have the activity to self correct odds like BitBet does yet https://atc.waroflife.com/gow/10/
benkay: wow paul graham doesn't appear to have published a pgp key.
BingoBoingo: In more productive news the cast iron is doing well. Eggs didn't stick this morning.
ninjashogun: benkay - why don't you write him and find out.
ninjashogun: it's $200K with a boatloat of strings, and I couldn't do the other (earlier) startup.
ninjashogun: Benkay, you didn't ask for references.
ninjashogun: btw I've been idling both here and elsewhere, and all I see in this conversation is trolling. Just look up at your scrollback before my name was mentioned. There is nothing that goes on in here that isn't a waste of everyone's time.
ninjashogun: Benkay, what do you do when you get a resume (CV)? Don't you know how to check up on people.
ninjashogun: Benkay, haven't you ever done a reference check?
punkman: don't even need google anymore :P
ninjashogun: BingoBoingo, that characterization isn't accurate.
ninjashogun: BingoBoingo, how was I supposed to know the people in here don't buy services?
ninjashogun: BingoBoingo, so I was in here seeking financing for the second company, which was a services company. As part of that I also sought to sell services, which didn't materialize
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves i wouldn't mind if they printed it and swallowed it.
nubbins`: i don't sleep better at night for the knowledge i've gained
mircea_popescu: but if it is then the fact my article is trp can't be "crap". he should be eating it up.
mircea_popescu: nubbins` welcome to dyslexia club. "honey, i can remember a very emotionally charged conversation but i don't recall if you were trying to dump me or marry me. which was it ?"
nubbins`: i always forget until i remember that one traitor standing up in his rags in a post-apocalyptic wasteland saying "why didn't i take the blue pill?"
mircea_popescu: if the film's good trp can't be an insult, nor a reason not to worship me.
