asciilifeform: the first oscilloscope wasn't even electronic in the usual sense (mirror on a rope, deflected by electrostatic charges, candle, projects on wall)
asciilifeform: using a scope isn't rocket surgery
diametric: yeah I have a 79 (i think?) tektronics of some sort I haven't used very much
diametric: oh, I have a collection but ultimately I don't do enough electronics work to give that great of opinions on it.

benkay: mircea_popescu: re gpgauth.org, that doesn't store private keys though.
the20year2: Didn't all those people die during holomodor due to USSR's amazing statistics & record keeping?
mircea_popescu: let's see... if some guy needs an operation and the insurance won't clear it because they judge he's too old/poor/etc, and he dies
the20year2: Well, i could base everything on how I "Feel", but i don't know that my feelings would have any impact on others

mircea_popescu: privileges and rights don't enter into it.
the20year2: I feel that the ability to adequately defend yourself and your family isn't just a right, it's required

mircea_popescu: if chinese women weren't ugly ;/
Mats_cd03: wasn't disagreeing with you, just reflecting on qualitative differences
mircea_popescu: rithm you don't say.
punkman: "It should take an Act of God to start up in anything but the best possible security you can manage. A Presidential Order doesn't cut it. "

TestingUnoDosTre: don't quote me on that
mircea_popescu: people won't drive an extra gallon of gas just to use random plasic bit X
TestingUnoDosTre: I don't care how many btc were sold today. China news was basically the same shit that was said before, and it was released like 12 hours or more before the MINI crash
TestingUnoDosTre: it's like bad news doesn't factor at all
noCHINA: its like the good news doesn't factor in at all
MisterE: yes any large retailer who told you you can't pay your $100 bull with plastic would be done
mircea_popescu: "<MisterE> we're not talkign about small retailers" / "<MisterE> and any retailer who didn't accept them would be suicide"
ozbot: Why Don't More Small Businesses Accept Credit Cards - Forbes
MisterE: use of credit and debit cards, that use the visa network, for shopping is prolific in the US and any retailer who didn't accept them would be suicide. <- Are you arguing against that statement mircea_popescu ?
mircea_popescu: TestingUnoDosTre subkeys you generate off a main key aren't more anonymous than the main key.
MisterE: don't you have an equivalent in Europe?
MisterE: these aren't prepaid electron cards
Duffer1: i don't see why they even need to sue

benkay: tg2: for a technical dude you sure don't in2 research

davout: !t m x.eur
moiety: lolol kakobrekla mine isn't as bad as i thought it would be in that lines list XD
dexX7: TestingUnoDosTre: don't worry. if you won, you won.
jborkl: I didn't know JohnK did a runner with over 1000 coins?
benkay: thing about shitcoin is that one doesn't get to select the coins received
thestringpuller: I didn't realize how dumb colored coins sounded until very recently...
CheckDavid: I don't think one needs the original shareholder signature
thestringpuller: Hasn't this been discussed? benkay am I going crazy?
CheckDavid: I don't know the format of such a contract
Duffer1: checkdavid ah sorry i assumed alt coin, i couldn't say if colored would work or not
deadweasel: punkman1: i didn't read either, i just lol'ed at conjured currency.
cazalla: mike_c: it's pretty much a given australia won't win a match heh
pankkake: and as a rule, don't touch crypto stuff you don't understand, you'll shoot yourself in the foot
tg2: don't intel chips use hardware source?
pankkake: don't know how rand() works, maybe it polls /dev/*random only once and then it's a PRNG
tg2: if you don't have "Not enough random bytes available. "
pankkake: I don't understand what that rand() is supposed to do
cazalla: mike_c: I don't know who made the Australian bet, any other aussies here that you know of?
mike_c: i thought it was that they wouldn't win a game
cazalla: can anyone recommend a reputable site for sporting results that can be used for bitbet outcomes? I'm thinking FIFA.com isn't ideal atm as there as the site will likely change once the world cup starts
benkay: doesn't really excuse malfeasance.
benkay: !t h rent
the20year3: The guys that have given me near $100k? I don't see them trading around stock
the20year3: In our case, with the decrease of BTC:USD, the BTC value of our company goes up, because the vast majority of our assets are denominated in USD, but the BTC price doesn't accurately reflect it because the trades for the most part just trend on news
dexX7: the following case is not possible: say everyone wants to sell, but i'm still willing to give the issuer my coins for whatever reason. non-freezed trading doesn't allow this
CheckDavid: You didn't mention when exchanges themselves run away
dexX7: benkay: do you think there shouldn't be a trading freeze during a funding round?
benkay: there are all the scam hosters over there that don't require identity or anything, allowing companies like CaVirtEx to walk off with customer funds and Rentalstarter to arbitrarily halt trading so they can sell their inflated stock at some imaginary value.
dexX7: wasn't meant this way
CheckDavid: I didn't ask for money
dexX7: CheckDavid: the point benkay is trying to make: don't ask for money, if you have no reputation nor the willingness to be "verified"
CheckDavid: Lol I don't want to scam :)
CheckDavid: benkay: I am not trading. So I guess I don't need to be verified?
dexX7: didn't you use the pad to send me the message "go find the submission form instead of asking"?
the20year3: Additionally, if there's extreme investor outrage of the 2nd round, we'll cancel it, but as of this moment i haven't seen that.
benkay: TestingUnoDosTre: don't ask to ask just ask
dexX7: haha no, don't get me wrong
tg2: I can't agree with that.
tg2: but I wouldn't use one
tg2: yeah if I was syrian and didn't live in syria the first thing I'd do is high tail it back to syria
