decimation: Okay. I don't know the details of IRC, apparently gribble can tell the difference between someone leaving the channel and a net-split?
artibot: Ok. I'm still "on the clock" so I won't get the bot in here now but I should be able to get it done before I go to bed.
mircea_popescu: SUSAN: Yeah, that's the way Russell is. He doesn't like to play games.
mircea_popescu: GEORGE: Well, don't they make a counter offer? How can they just cancel the whole deal like that? What kind of a maniac is this guy? I mean he just, he says no, and that's it?
BCB: jurov, I see that. I probably couldn't do it for less then 20%
mircea_popescu: but yes, unless your portofolio is > 1k btc, you don't really need a seat imo.
mike_c: i don't think it's ever been a bad price. best time to buy a mpex seat is today.
mircea_popescu: it doesn't.
mircea_popescu: of fucking course you'll be priced out of what trilema tells you to do in april 2013 if you wait till april 2014. if you weren't priced out that'd mean trilema sucks.
mircea_popescu: why didn't they read trilema april 2013 and execute THAT WEEK ?
mike_c: and even that wasn't that big
fluffypony: BCB: hanbot is banned, mircea_popescu isn't
mircea_popescu: and i'll delight in punishing all the vcs with it in the years to come. "here. this was your job. this was your job that you didn't do. because you suck. because you're inept. because you can't do your job. like children. look how stupid you were. you still are." ☟︎
mircea_popescu: fluffypony nobody can say they didn't have a fair chance. they blew it, tho.
fluffypony: mike_c: they had 1366 seats total, fixed and you couldn't get more
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla: any posting a banable offense << i thought this forum already existed ? i haven't posted in it since 2011
mircea_popescu: fluffypony: I don't get the Ohio thing << ohio is the shithole state. i used it as a metaphorical derogatory, to help the guy understand that his vc circuit is a bit player in bitcoin.
mircea_popescu: benkay gotta talk to a woman about that, i can't help you :D
benkay: can't wait to deploy my war face against that
mircea_popescu: you didn't expect the dead to actually embrace their death, did you ? ever sent a teenager upstairs to clean up their room ?
thestringpuller: ;;later tell bitcoinpete how come my gravatar isn't working? what did I mess up?
fluffypony: thestringpuller didn't they cancel that inflation thing
artifexd: Topic changed. Anybody that wants to offer suggestions/criticisms/whatever and can't talk in here should be smart enough to figure out who runs the bot.
pankkake: is there an explanation for the name? it sounds like something against the evil maid attack, but isn't
fluffypony: I don't get why the maths is so hard for them
artifexd: Isn't that were the20year is doing his RENT thing?
fluffypony: glad there wasn't some important back story I was missing
bitcoinpete: what ohio has to do with anything isn't clear to me either lol

bounce: hey, they got elected in fair vote! can't be that bad, can they?
fluffypony: FabianB: haven't you heard - Bitcoin 2.0 is coming
mike_c: but automation! magic! it's easier until it doesn't work!
benkay: don't get fancy.
Azelphur: wasn't for me :o
BingoBoingo: One of the nice things about Bitcoin is that there is so much that simply can't be known.
mircea_popescu: just because someone bets early or a lot doesn't mean they have a point.
mircea_popescu: and so... he doesn't want to bet anymore. but now "it's fair", he says, just, no fair he'd want any part of.
mircea_popescu: when things are changed to accomodate his worldview, then and only then can he see the stuff applying to him. because the libtard has 0 critical thinking ability. unless it's before him, he can't follow a counterfactual.
mircea_popescu: classical socialist mindset. fat close buffer means a lot of risk for people betting early, because if something happens they won't be able to cover/adjust for new odds.
fluffypony: Shakespeare: can't you register this nick with gribble and then we can rate it?
BingoBoingo: Don't forget to go rasta.
fluffypony: http://pdfnomo.re/asplos2014_cider/ for those that don't like PDFs
agorecki: I don't think the channel was voice-to-speak only at the time, though
mircea_popescu: i don't see it.
mircea_popescu: some dude that can't work a hammer isn't a carpenter
mircea_popescu: yet they still think themselves journalists. what sense does this make ? a guy thgat can't turn on the stove and regularly cooks moldy chicken isn't a cook
mircea_popescu: they can't encrypt, they can barely read and rarely comprehend anything
mircea_popescu: these people can't math even to the degree of grasping the most basic points of statistics
mircea_popescu: "But it's true. He wasn't great at encryption. In common with most journalists working today, he had no clue about tools that would have allowed him to communicate with sources privately, without fear of NSA or any other snooping."
mircea_popescu: i wouldn't trust the uk to anything. it's basically the political equivalent of nevada. an uninhabited wasteland where you test nukes.
assbot: Glenn Greenwald: 'I don't trust the UK not to arrest me. Their behaviour has been extreme' | World news | The Guardian
mircea_popescu: well in 2010 it was mostly satoshi. hearn hadn't shown up yet,
fluffypony: although to be honest, if I'd discovered it in 2010 I don't think I would've had the knowledge and maturity to appreciate what I'd found
mircea_popescu: "If you don't believe you can always use Anon escrow service. I think NFD-Coin is doing a good job with this IPO. but its better to pay a small escrow fee and be safe than sorry in my opinion."
fluffypony: jurov: I still can't understand what that means
fluffypony: davout: can't wait
fluffypony: it doesn't have the word "coin" in the name
mircea_popescu: it doesn't REALLY make all that much sense.
bitcoinpete: chicago doesn't have a reputation of corruption for nothin
mircea_popescu: "is it really desirable that i don't actually calculate what i want to buy before i place an order ?"
fluffypony: bitcoinpete: one of many things I don't need to worry about and jurov does :)
davout: can't remember, if i was watching it with her it was prolly in french
danielpbarron: fluffypony, that's what I assumed; I guess it'll always be like that for me (I haven't looked at that site in weeks i think)
danielpbarron: fluffypony, I get that all the time; it also won't let me update my trust ratings when that happens
davout: maybe you can't PM as a noob
chetty: danielpbarron, I don't tweet much, but I do retweet
danielpbarron: it doesn't matter if a user doesn't talk about bitcoin; it's a good indicator that they make interesting content if they chat in here though
assbot: Snowden docs: Photos show NSA agents intercepting packages, implanting spy hardware - http://t.co/Taz0CoBeWv
mike_c: well, really it has had more to with the fact that IDIFF can't go up by more than 2.9x per period and difficulty was going up much faster.
thestringpuller: if miners weren't so sketchy
mike_c: %t
thestringpuller: mike_c: aren't you not supposed to hedge with a prediction market?
chetty: don{t get anything for crypto that gets shipped - buy local off the shelf, random. (imho)
danielpbarron: yeh, hrm; I hopefully won't need it for long: I'm really eager to get my hands on a cardano
mircea_popescu: <kdomanski> danielpbarron: isn't that what everyone calls themselves? ;] << good point.
pankkake: or remove https if you don't want the cert warning. oops
kdomanski: danielpbarron: isn't that what everyone calls themselves? ;]
mike_c: i thought the browsers don't like cacert?
mike_c: because theoretical science isn't as fun as engineering.
chetty: I won't even look if they will just get on with it
chetty: I don't think they are buying new couches anymore, now they just rearrange the deck chairs
Jezzz: ozbot can't talk here either
mircea_popescu: srsly. i don't mean to control. i merely mean to ruin.
mircea_popescu: i will say tho my goal isn't world domination.
mike_c: although, most of the kids that are there to sell out don't make it to late stage. a decent amount of the ones that do make it to late stage are the ones who have loftier goals (often world domination)
assbot: /sfiegerman Suppose you try that research thing next time ? MPEx is valued /772500 BTC. And has been, for a year. http://t.co/luJbV9SZ8s
assbot: Top-funded #bitcoin startup is now /BitPay http://t.co/EvndDUI950
benkay: although w/r/t criminalizing common behavior i was charged with both a minor in posession and public drunkenness. a few months later i got a letter saying the cop hadn't showed for the trial and so charges had been dismissed.
benkay: "Unfortunately you can't modify the configuration of an ELB after it is created."
mircea_popescu: but good mercs aren't either exactly merks or dumb enough to work for the usg.
mircea_popescu: i don't see a problem. just, what's witgh the brand loyalty. mercs are interchangeable by definition.
mircea_popescu: charges matter irrespective of what governments like or don't like, believe or don't believe.
bitcoinpete: and blackwater isn't in and of itself a problem, it merely signals that the us is on the decline
mircea_popescu: i won't have any specifics from you will i.
benkay: -assbot- I don't do bots, benkay.
mircea_popescu: Mats_cd03 well that's cool, but i don't really read the media.
Mats_cd03: And by virtue of his contract with State Dept, couldn't defend his position publicly at all
mircea_popescu: pity he wasn't up for bitcoin foundation board tbh
thestringpuller: i don't think it's a big deal for people who grew up with siblings
joecool: can't do rooms with it though
