pankkake: it's fishy

asciilifeform: pankkake: decoy. the real 'intel cpu vulnerability facility' is: a fax machine at ft. meade, where intel sends them the dirt directly, for free.
asciilifeform: sits next to microshit's fax.

asciilifeform: cryptome's a classic
asciilifeform: they throw in pretty much anything that smells of nsa dirt.
mircea_popescu: and with that im off. don't break the butts!
pankkake: omg, it did http://cryptome.org/2013/10/bitcoin-usb-gpg.htm
asciilifeform: yeah
pankkake: did that bring a lot of traffic?
asciilifeform: pankkake: no idea. ask mp when he wakes up.
benkay: hey asciilifeform why would i buy and hold s.nsa if you (pursuant to 3.2b) can simply issue more shares?
asciilifeform: benkay: read the listing (written by mp, not me); there is a promise not to dilute
benkay: i see that
asciilifeform: so, the way i understand, any new shares are automatically priced at a moving average of a long period preceding the issue.
benkay: so i'm an idiot and don't understand how that's not diluting my holdings
benkay: theoretical holdings
asciilifeform: you should probably ask mp to be sure.
benkay: ;;later tell mircea_popescu please for ams to explain how issuance of new s.nsa even at rolling 30d is not dilution of existing shareholders because ams idiots
gribble: The operation succeeded.
benkay: i'm just contrasting that to s.mpoe where the deal is "there are 1b shares and will only ever be 1b shares"
asciilifeform: if i'm not mistaken, the s.nsa listing text is based on that of s.mg (and to a lesser extent, others)
asciilifeform: i must remind you, i am not an expert on the mechanics of mpex/mpoe. by all means, ask the author.
benkay: who just went to bed :(
benkay: does anyone else have any insight on the topic?
asciilifeform: in fact, full disclosure time! i'm not a 'serious btc persona (TM)', just an amateur maths type. ~3btc to my name.
benkay: dog save us from serious internets
asciilifeform: carried on a correspondence of sort with mp since writing a piece on his creation (http://www.loper-os.org/?p=1108)
mod6: oh yeah! forgot that was you.
benkay: in any event, the dilution rules are a little hazy, and i'm a little stupid and prone to making outrageous claims for my betters to correct.
pankkake: As I gather, the MPEx PR department currently consists of one person, paid to post pictures of pretty girls in Bitcoin forums.
asciilifeform: pankkake: review was based primarily on the free demo, and the correspondence which led up to the latter.
benkay: the other line that's amusing in retrospect is "I, for one, will wait for the fully-decentralized systems."
benkay: (just taking the piss, asciilifeform)
asciilifeform: in a sufficiently-hostile environment, full decentralization (of mechanical function, if not necessarily administration) is the only answer.
asciilifeform: a decentralized SR would live still. etc

jurov: but since they did not sell on IPO, may be sold later
jurov: not all of them sold at IPO, I mean

Duffer1: totally wrong chan ^.^

jurov: (b) No Such lAbs solemnly promises and warrants never to issue more shares ...etc
jurov: that's it
jurov: admittedly, it may be a bit clearer
benkay: "All future share issuance will be made only a) through selling of new shares on MPEx"
benkay: it could definitely be made clearer.
benkay: intent is there, but so is ambiguity.
benkay: dat "new shares"
jurov: at least there are no footnotes like on trilema

aaaaasss: hey
uhh: what do you have in mind? 4 columns?
benkay: i have in mind hiring a designer
nubbins`: you know that's meant for print, right?
uhh: only because you are a printing guy doesn't give you the right to promote old school technology. who uses paper these days?
benkay: i was under the impression these humans were trying to communicate
uhh: .bait
ozbot: http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mcezhjr7lm1r09wbpo1_500.jpg
benkay: mmm.
benkay: moar tattoos.
nubbins`: if they wanted you to not print it, they wouldn't have made it a pdf
benkay: what these academics (along with many others) want or even "think" is irrelevant
nubbins`: and yet here you are, forced to live with their decisions
nubbins`: funny, that
benkay: "forced"
benkay: funny, that
nubbins`: unless you have the option to read these papers in a format that's a good fit for your screen?
uhh: maybe we shouldn't pitchfork the printing guys and scientists, but adobe.
benkay: i have the option
benkay: don't much care to derp through it
nubbins`: what
nubbins`: 'd adobe do wrong?
nubbins`: (i know, that's a really open-ended question)
nubbins`: but pdf is great
uhh: i'd say they do have an influence on how pdfs are presented on a computer screen
nubbins`: i'd say the creator of the document specified the exact dimensions of the page
nubbins`: and, in fact, had complete control over the presentation of the content
nubbins`: because that's what pdf is for :(
benkay: we're definitely out of my domain here
mike_c: they created it like that out of habit, not out of a thought-out decision as to what would be best these days.
benkay: leastaways i haven't touched this derpy shit since high school
benkay: but we could start with absolute positioning of letters
nubbins`: there's no better way for me to guarantee that if i send you a document, it'll look exactly the same to you as it does to me
benkay: a thing about which i give zero shits
nubbins`: lel
benkay: can i get that info into my brain in a more pleasantly formatted way?
benkay: it's this whole idea of ideas as opposed to aesthetics
benkay: you have this amusing hangup on aesthetics
nubbins`: you're fucked
benkay: now don't get me wrong, they're important
nubbins`: a pdf looks the same on every system
nubbins`: what else are you gonna send, a .doc?
benkay: at least that preserves the notion of a character stream
nubbins`: oh, whoops, you don't have the right fonts or they're drawn differently or your page margins are different, etc
nubbins`: you're missing the point
uhh: now i see why my last statement was kinda stupid
benkay: ("you're fucked" - erudite as always)
nubbins`: obstinate as always!
benkay: do illuminate me.
nubbins`: there are many, many occasions in this world where it's important that the recipient of the document be shown the exact thing that the sender intended
benkay: oh and don't get me wrong, aesthetics are important
nubbins`: it's not a question of aesthetics
benkay: it's how my firm makes our bread
nubbins`: it's a question of presenting information in a standard way
benkay: presenting images, i'd amend.
nubbins`: not exclusively
benkay: the information is clearly taking it up the tuchus in the .pdf "format"
nubbins`: the information is presented exactly how the creator of the pdf intended
nubbins`: if he intended to make a shit-looking document, well, too bad
benkay: the creator of that pdf didn't give two shits about any presentation beyond getting it printed and validated by the american idiot community of "scientists"
nubbins`: okay, so?
benkay: information clearly taking a backseat to arbitrary presentation guidelines written by an obsolete industry.
nubbins`: you're trying to generalize a specific case
benkay: my complaint was about a specific case
nubbins`: presentation guidelines, etc
benkay: where's my damn character stream.
benkay: embedded in some fucking layer in that monstrosity of a transmission?
benkay: i see why you left IT
benkay: you get neither information nor technology
nubbins`: creator of the doc obv didn't give a fuck how it looked on a computer screen
nubbins`: why would he?
nubbins`: it was probably being sent to a journal to be published
nubbins`: not posted on his blog
nubbins`: i doubt he gives a red fuck how it looks on a computer screen, and why should he?
nubbins`: all i see is wailing that something's not in your preferred form, like your chicken nuggets were cut up before mom put them on your plate and now you won't eat them
nubbins`: "where's my damn character stream" ☟︎
nubbins`: lel
benkay: it was perfectly acceptable chicken to begin with
benkay: why subject it to this ammonia
nubbins`: you're like an old man in a lineup
nubbins`: stomping and huffing
nubbins`: "why didn't this scientist realize i only read things on my computer!"
nubbins`: seriously though, keep it up. people will eventually come around
benkay: "why didn't this scientist realize i only read things on my computer! (sic)"
benkay: well because scientists generally care about behavior at the limit
benkay: a calculus thing
benkay: if i contribute to the demise of print in any way it'll have been a good day's work
nubbins`: if you contribute to anything in any way it'll have been a surprise to all
nubbins`: anyway, the document is in two skinny columns because skinny columns are easier to read.
nubbins`: that's why, y'know, newspapers and magazines and scientific journals use them
benkay: not objecting to columns
benkay: those make a modicum of sense
nubbins`: so literally just the fact that it's not a plain text doc?
benkay: nah
benkay: just getting a rise out of you
benkay: print
benkay: almost too easy
nubbins`: uh huh

mircea_popescu: why ?
mircea_popescu: if at time t the stock is worth more than what it's trading for, people should buy it. if they can't buy it, it's not worth more.
mircea_popescu: if it's not worth more, issuing more at that price is not dilution.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FrZgHBXBKJ0&t=9m45s
jurov: i personally don't have big issue with it, we'll see how it will work out. It's much much better that S.DICE was, with evoorhees throwing stuff in randomly without any announce/approval needed
mircea_popescu: um.
mircea_popescu: s.dice never issued more stock.
jurov: yes, but there were huge pools of shares not on the market and arriving all at once, which s.nsa is so far avoiding
jurov: and the contract even makes some stipulations about the price
mircea_popescu: that's really the empire of the holder. if asciilifeform decides to convert his warrants in a bulk and dump them on the market for instance it'd be similar a result
mircea_popescu: afair the major problem with s.dice was that at some point erik arbitrarily decided to reclassify an asset class in his accounting,
mircea_popescu: but that only lasted about two days and he backed off.
mircea_popescu: so it's only "major" in a theoretical sense, otherwise innocent mistake and all.

pankkake: I have been very successful at this :/
benkay: so when there are new shares how does the amount of equity i'm entitled to not decrease?
benkay: mircea_popescu:
mircea_popescu: because new shares are sold for at least as much as your current shares are worth
mircea_popescu: which means equity increases at least at the same rate as the float.
benkay: and that btc hits the book as an asset
benkay: roger
benkay: god i'm phenomenally dumb
mircea_popescu: well, the idea that dilution = more shares is somehow very intuitively easy.
mircea_popescu: it's not correct, but in order for this point to become important some progress has to be made.
mircea_popescu: as far as forum investing is concerned... that first approximation is great really.
benkay: it's a product of the SV "investment" model
mircea_popescu: sv ?
