mircea_popescu: i don't do it personally, and the mods just get to have fun. i hold no particular audit of their success. i guess some try to beat the game or w/e, i personally don't care, and that's where the incentive structure starts.
punkman: but besides that, wouldn't it be more work to approve 30 single bets than 1 30-way bet?
mircea_popescu: there's no corectness involved, bitbet doesn't make any effort whatsoever to split the seed correctly.
punkman: considering a 10-way or 30-way bet, that is sure more work for bitbet mods to seed correctly. So I guess we won't see multibets until there's just too many single bets covering the same events
mike_c: i wouldn't kill too many brain cells trying to figure it out.
punkman: tried the logs for previous discussion but couldn't locate
mike_c: css isn't as good as bitbet

mircea_popescu: moiety: this stupid slenderman crap is going to be made into some crap film at some point, wont it << if the us weren't out of money, it would habve been.
Apocalyptic: ECDH isn't of big interest for bitcoin
Naphex: Apocalyptic: but isn't ECDH safe from shor's attack?
mircea_popescu: Apocalyptic, the question is more subtle than that. perhaps a better rendering would be "which of rsa, ec is more likely to have tiny pores we don't kjnow about"
Naphex: picking out the good from the bad should be a skill everyone has, but that ain't gonna happen
mircea_popescu: Naphex, i don't really perceive the benefit.
mike_c: c'mon, you know ascii knows and just won't tell
mircea_popescu: that can't happen, i have a whole department working on it.
mircea_popescu: nubbins`: BingoBoingo: i actually had wondered why $15k plus damages -- didn't realize until you pointed out that they didn't touch s.dice << yeah, funny how that worked huh.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: It isn't that there is benefit derived from it. It is that when we can beat the Coindesks to the aggregators, it injures them in ways only they can rationalize. << wow that's an unexpected point.
gribble: Error: User doesn't exist in the Rating or GPG databases. User must be GPG-registered to receive ratings.

mircea_popescu: "derp. o god i can't read those comments." etc
mircea_popescu: TomServo: wasn't there a wife too? << yeah lol. she wanted me to not condescend her.
Naphex: i don't see much interest in xrp anyway and all the news i bet didn't help
Naphex: i don't care about ripple, but kept noticing it and wondered if they pump the volume on exchanges that accept XRP or what
mircea_popescu: a) it myust be 1024 wide ; b) i don't own the copyright
Naphex: so.. if the difficulty adjusts itself to do sha256 for 10 minutes, isn't bitcoin backed by TIME?
mircea_popescu: alternatively, most of them can't read trilema because it is painful.

Naphex: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g31nLatyci4#t=395 watch and see a huge peter schiff having a brainfart
asciilifeform: didn't care to find out
asciilifeform: i must confess, didn't knock on the door of the wagen, didn't see if one was installed.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, you don't have enough experience to recognise a symbian once it's been used by a progressive, i take it ?
assbot: "Hi, I'm Dr Steve Brule with BitAngels. Wanna make some money with your cool bit-Coins? Buy /hashtag/MaidSafe?src=hash, ya dummies!" http://t.co/V9JrwDyGGe
asciilifeform: poor woman, seems like the shitter in the van doesn't work. there's a portable latrine on the grounds.
mircea_popescu: If BitcoinBourse don't reconsiders her new maintenance fees perhaps we need to any of this:
mircea_popescu: (i;m an asshole, i can't tell most people apart. also i'm famous for thinking most women are blonde etc)
mircea_popescu: i can't tell black people apart because i'm racist.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Arethra doesn't look Oprah bad
mircea_popescu: i guess since there are no famous or remarkable women in history, women can't do the same thing. wtf is bitcoinmarymagdalene.
mircea_popescu: at least derpy guys understand that bitcoinman doesn't work, so they go for bitcoinjezuz instead
mircea_popescu: nubbins`: if she got it, she wouldn't work for motherboard << isn't this sexist ? shouldn't it be fatherboard ?
mike_c: don't call it small, you'll make it mad
diametric: is this guy for real, i can't recall that nick before.
danielpbarron: mike_c, everyone is disgusting; I hate everyone. I wouldn't do business with anyone if that were my criteria
mike_c: good thing, can't be giving more money to tim cook.
pankkake: lol I didn't know about the employee and the coupon. golden
danielpbarron: <+mike_c> hehe. i think we are talking about limits on freedom. you think people should be free to be racist/homophobic. i'm not sure i agree. << you think people should be free to commit acts of sodomy; I am *sure* I don't agree. Which one of our sensibilities is more valuable? My solution is: you enforce your anti-racist w/e on your property, and I'll enforce my anti-homo w/e on mine.
mircea_popescu: nubbins`: "the sec is pleased to announce that it suffered a net loss of only $150,000 in securing mr voorhees' conviction" << it wasn't a conviction. more like "the sec spent 150k for bitcoin people to go "here's a dime go buy something nice for yourself and stfu"" ☟︎
mircea_popescu: for that matter, am i the only one old enough to remember the reason we don't use linode ?
Naphex: but don't just go about hosting bitcoins on vps's
xmj: in other words.. don't ask me
xmj: Naphex: because it's not part of the "core business" and you don't get seed-funded to do that.
pankkake: can't we just stay meta?
Naphex: and also, storing private data on hypervisors you don't control
mircea_popescu: mike_c, i told them they suck while there, too. you don;t know about it because i told THEM
mircea_popescu: this is why there shouldn't be a greater power than a baker in the first placre.
mircea_popescu: god help us if i happen to think xmj is stupid and xmj happens to think i shouldn't happen to think that. what's that gonna yield, a law against thinking xmjs are stupi ? enacted by ycombinator ?
mike_c: what's the other option? you don't get to assign meaning to anything?
mircea_popescu: anbd you get to decide which objects carry meanin and which don't and what it is ?
mike_c: sure, i can't count it. but fuck those 20 guys who did it for dumb reasons too.
mircea_popescu: mike_c, it means you can't count on it tho.
mike_c: that doesn't mean there was no meaning to any of it.
danielpbarron: because the lgbt movement isn't about rights; it's the opposite: it's about forcing acceptance on others
mircea_popescu: so she's going to 4ever be remember as that nigger that didn't need em to have em :D
mircea_popescu: mike_c, my point is that you can't pretend like meaning is immanent. it's not.
mike_c: so what's your point? that I shouldn't care about other people's idiocy? or is it that it isn't stupid to be racist/homophobic.
mircea_popescu: if this isn't a sad exercise into becoming everything you've hated about the stupidity of your parents
danielpbarron: <+mike_c> well, relatively serious. is there some other reason you would refuse to use black figurines? << there needn't be any other reason; is it my business or not?
mike_c: some people "hate americans" and act accordingly. I think this is retarded, but it doesn't upset me. some people "hate homos" and act accordingly, yet this does upset me.
mircea_popescu: mike_c, i dunno dood, maybe you don't like the ingredients that have to be used to make it be black.
Naphex: i don't
davout: i mean, the whole baker thing sounds pretty retarded anyway, if i went to a baker that refuses jews i wouldn't insist on giving him business
asciilifeform: the folks for whom these items are mandatory, 'national' clothing stay out. and don't seem to complain.
danielpbarron: yeah, clubs in NYC turn you away for having the "wrong shoes" which some argue is vailed racism (they are basically saying, blacks don't have nice shoes)
danielpbarron: mike_c, I am pro-slavery and I don't argue it from a racial point of view
davout: danielpbarron: in france we have this "refus de vente" offense, you can't just select your customers if you're selling to the general public
mike_c: "so what" is that a lot of people don't find racism/sexism/homophobia something to simply be ignored.
danielpbarron: just to clarify, I don't have a problem with blacks, but so what? if you don't like that someone hates blacks then don't do business with them
benkay: "don't transact with the masses"
danielpbarron: how is that discrimination? the rule isn't no black customers; it's no black figurines
mircea_popescu: discrimination can't be illegal.
danielpbarron: mike_c, I wouldn't, but would that be illegal?
TomServo: Isn't the real humor re: the gay cake the fact that this ruling occurred in a state in which gay marriage is illegal?
mircea_popescu: <benkay> re: gay bakery - don't ever tell anyone why you're refusing to do business with them. 'this just isn't a good deal for me. thanks for your interest. << hyou know this is how the VC circus was born right ? bankers thinking it imprident to laugh in the face of "businessmen"
