usagi: he went with objective C
to piss everyone
the fuck off and
think different
Diablo-D3: usagi: yeah, but its a little more complex
than
that
fiat500: just before
the mtgox/coinlab suit news broke
usagi: and
the programmers were hired
fiat500: so
this might be some interesting news guys
usagi: Remember. Steve jobs was never really a
tech or a programmer. He was a business jock and a socialite. Wozniak was
the
tech
Diablo-D3: the only reason apple made it exist is so
they could do c++ api interfacing easier
Diablo-D3: fiat500:
that
thing is an abortion
usagi: I actually prefer C++
to objective C
fiat500: how is
this a flaw of
the compiler?
usagi: And
that will never make sense
to me, it's laziness on
the part of
the compiler
usagi: But
then I need
to do stuff like [[car alloc] init]
fiat500: in fact, you should be using ARC and not
think about
that shit at all
fiat500: thats not necessarily a bad
thing however
fiat500: usagi: no its not
the same
usagi: but objc dot notation is not really
the same
thing as in c++ or java
fiat500: its quite verbose yes, but with
the right completion plugins in vim/subl it becomes irrelevant how verbose it is
usagi: But on
the surface of it, it's very close, feels very close
topace: but
ticker stuff is all
there
fiat500: (well, streaming API would be great but i can work with
this)
fiat500: thanks
topace
thats exactly what i need
topace: need
to be logged in
to see
the docs i
think, but
the
ticker api doesnt require auth
fiat500: i could set up a bot in here
to sit and watch but i am loathe
to
that idea
fiat500: topace: can i get API access
to havelock
tickers somehow? im building a (free) data aggregator service
fiat500: (what i was
talking about)
fiat500: topace: but
this selling is on btct
fiat500: its actually smarter
to sell before divs are issued, usually
the peak point for
the price
usagi: What purer form of bet is
there
than a coin
toss? :)
usagi: like if its 13
to 10, bet on
the 10 side
fiat500: the guy wants
to buy btc, do you want
to examine his motives? lol
usagi: Well, you could bet on
the side with
the least money maybe
fiat500: the question of why is irrelevant i
think, anyway
Chaang-Noi: i see nothing wrong with allowing
that bet, i find it sell however
to bet on it
Diablo-D3: [10:02:03] <fiat500> Diablo-D3: if you are selling
that many, would you be interested in selling 80
to a colleague of mine?ç
usagi: Kakobrekla did you really allow
that bet?
usagi: I was really sad
that
the aliens exist bet got badbetted
mjr_: i believe einstein said
that
mjr_: mircea_popescu: its not just
that he's smart, he is smart enough
to explain it
to dumb people,
thats
the hard part
usagi: He should. if Erik was MPOE-PR
things would be a lot better
truff1es: he's difused enough of
their b.s.
mjr_: which he may have made clear enough for some above average americans
to understand
usagi: Bitcoin has been compared
to digital gold before
mjr_: anyways,
this all started because erik's
talk on
the attribute-based
theory of money
fiat500: i
thought
the union was identical
to
the intersection? :P
usagi: mircea's biggest blind spot is
that he and mpoe-pr do not understand PR at all.
mjr_: mircea_popescu: while i
think mpoe-pr is very smart, i don't know if most would see
that, while she brilliantly can eviscerate others ideas, rarely does she posit her own, and as a PR person, its not really her job
to do so, but rather
to point at others who have done
mjr_: while amir just kinda looked his usual way,
though maybe better
than last
time i suppose
mjr_: because i said
that jon matonis,
trace meyer, or erik would have destroyed
that ed guy
mjr_: LOL, it came up specifically due
to amir
taaki's interview
mjr_: thats
two
tech guys,
two business/finance guys
mjr_: and it was only my opinion as one guy who has observed, but yeah, gavin probably gets one of
the spots, mike hearn
too
mircea_popescu: i dunno how he manages not
to explode, drowned in a barrel of idiots
mjr_: i haven't actually come up with
the other 3 yet, but
they obviously exist
mjr_: mircea_popescu: i just said
that erik voorhees, and you are in my opinion in
the
top 5 smartest people in
the bitcoin space
usagi: oh I should
tell you
that mircea has had me on ignore for almost an entire year so he doesn't know what I said
usagi: That has
to count for something :>
mjr_: just
the people who are very impressive
to one internet nobody
mjr_: and haven't listened
to enough
to make my own judgement,
though it is just my opinion we are
talking about
usagi: i'm not
top 5 material.
mjr_: but yes, mircea_popescu is in
the
top 5
mjr_: i actually
think
the dumbest people in
the bitcoin space have
to be a little smarter
than
the average american when it comes
to economics
usagi: mjr said you were in
the
top five smartest people in
the community.
Chaang-Noi: from just what we mine, at
this level i
think its .016ish per share so really over .02 next week should not be all
that hard
ThickAsThieves: can anyone confirm
to me if
they got
their
TAT.AM divs on BTCTC?
usagi: Oh of course, it won't last forever,
the market knows
that or it would be 4BTC now
Chaang-Noi: unless we get up
to 45% of
the network
fiat500: next week is going
to be worse
ThickAsThieves: Dividends for
TAT.AM shares are all paid out except for BTCTC, which is scheduled. Payout is 0.00025211 per share.
mjr_: because
the currency if not actually standing in place for something else
that you want, is really worth nothing
mjr_: because like midas, it becomes worthless
to have all of something
mjr_: anyways,
this is why hoarding will never work as a long
term strategy
kakobrekla: the
touch was reversed and he could buttsex his daughter again
mjr_: but whether he lives or dies,
the gold
touch was a curse not a blessing
mjr_: its a myth, it has a
ton of different endings i'm sure
usagi: According
to Aristotle, legend held
that Midas died of hunger as a result of his "vain prayer" for
the gold
touch.
usagi: i didn't read about
that
