markedathome: mircea_popescu: mpex key expire, 1 year from 2011 is mar 2012 or do you mean expire in 2 years to expire next month?
mjr_: thanks so much that is awesome
mjr_: yes, that is what i meant
mjr_: show the most impressive results
mircea_popescu: you have to decide what you are tryng to do
mircea_popescu: odds are there's no "correct" one
mjr_: so as you can see, it is not trivial which number i use, and i still cannot figure out which is the correct one to use. I think at the end of the day it is really just my choice, but I am curious how ForEx guys do it
mjr_: respectively that is cost of bitcoins at present exchange, cost of bitcoins at my conversion cost, or cost of bitcoins at time of option purchase
mjr_: It would be nice to have an autoupdating spreadsheet that lists total positions and relative gain
mjr_: and thanks jurov, that would be awesome
jurov: mjr_ i think something like live.coinbr.com/last?mpsic=MPSIC can be added easily
mircea_popescu: mpex is too good to take user input
jurov: no you have to extract it from json
mjr_: but i just wanted one single price, do i have to find that subobject? or can you query for it directly?
mircea_popescu: you can get either the book or the prices json, its in the faq
mjr_: also, is there a way to poll mpex for the last price of a given symbol? or bidding price
mjr_: even though i can rerun it from the script editor
mjr_: yeah, i keep changing the value, but it doesn't rerun the script
Bugpowder: there is some code you can use to make it do it faster, but it didn't work for me
mjr_: trying to make it automatically get the freshest mt. gox price
mjr_: anyone know how to get a google doc to reload a script?
jurov: yes, i see. but there's also said "query only once per 15 minutes". quite lame.
mircea_popescu: jurov there's a json there too
mircea_popescu: Where is the "specialized devision of a huge corporate electronics manufacturer in Canada" !!!
mircea_popescu: https://www.bitcoinasic.net/ awww they got pulled off the interwebs
jurov: now i know why, used wrong ticker
jurov: users want understandable computation to be done automatically on exercise page... and one complained it isn't correct

iz: they actually told the press to stop tweeting about it
iz: and to stop tweeting
mircea_popescu: which turns out to be an actual outlet o.o

iz: police always tell them to fuck off and they did
iz: it's just one reporter there
mircea_popescu: who can afford this ?
iz: ABC was just slow to get there and are being whiners
iz: but there WAS press there
mircea_popescu: airs them back to back.
mircea_popescu: asks people to call in with their stories
mircea_popescu: fine. abc spends the next full week runningspecials about la police corruption
mircea_popescu: that'll go great, disallow them. how does that go ?
iz: if they don't cooperate, they get kicked off the scene, and competeing reporters that kiss more ass get the exclusive
iz: mircea_popescu: because the police allow them to be on the scene
mircea_popescu: does the police pay you if you prevent one ?
TomServo: mircea_popescu: I would guess trying to avoid a repeat LA riot.
mircea_popescu: why are they trying to be all nice ? it's not paying anything.
mircea_popescu: i know if i were a journalist i'd rag on the police till i dropped
mircea_popescu: i wonder what the media's angle is.
mod6: yeah, upset alright. "BURN THE MOTHERFUCKER"

TomServo: well yeah - that shit wasn't going to trial, might as well go in guns a blazin'
mircea_popescu: well actually i lolled at the "cabin caught on fire"
mod6: srsly. what kind of police work is that anyway? where you just start shooting people instead of trying to make a positive ID and apprehend him so he can face the court system.
mircea_popescu: random crazy dude who lived there for 15+ years
mod6: oh man would that be a shit storm if it wasn't
mod6: pff so the LAPD just WACO'd that dude huh

jurov: oh that tango. i've had a basic dance course but forgot long ago
gribble: (calc <math expression>) -- Returns the value of the evaluated <math expression>. The syntax is Python syntax; the type of arithmetic is floating point. Floating point arithmetic is used in order to prevent a user from being able to crash to the bot with something like '10**10**10**10'. One consequence is that large values such as '10**24' might not be exact.
jurov: that's not queer. that's plain cheating

kakobrekla: >overall americans are carrying a grand total of 798 billion in credit card debt. if you were alive when jesus was born and you spent a million dollars every singla day since then, you still would not have spent 798 billion by now.
kakobrekla: on the x
jurov: i should have anonymized that... it was just hilarious misunderstanding
FabianB_: but yeah, i guessed the answer, but i thought asking doesn't cost me anything
FabianB_: it's not a matter of how much you got; but how much you wanted to put yourself into
jurov: well, if i got less than 50btc.. that would be hard decision
FabianB_: well, i just wanted to know if you alternatively thought about just buying back shares instead
jurov: *i know and thanks
jurov: yes in kow and thanks. but at that moment it was like wtf
FabianB_: i was curious if you fill the gap to 100
FabianB_: yeah, i invested 20 btc and at that point not many more ppl bought mpbpt
jurov: something like that
FabianB_: jurov: was that my wording?
mircea_popescu: this "everything is equal to everything else" mentality is probably the #1 most obnoxious thing about bitcoin.
