mircea_popescu: http://i.imgur.com/9VClTYt.gif this actually looks a lot like mpoe-pr baiting threads.
Namworld: What?
herbijudlestoids: easily the best bitcoin website ever: http://bitcoin-free-adclickandtasks-sites.nl
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 13450 @ 0.00093552 = 12.5827 BTC [+] {2}
chipug: it doesnt even fit on the page properly!
Namworld: The url tells me otherwise
chipug: lol hi Namworld
herbijudlestoids: Namworld, didn't you see it says *free*
chipug: mircea_popescu: wtf was that balloon guy thinking?!
Namworld: Yes I see it.
mircea_popescu: that dicking around with my pr is fun
mircea_popescu: the name of at least one nurse in the burns section ?
chipug: lol!
dudesir: mircea is the 30 BTC fee going to change eventually?
mircea_popescu: it was 20 up until glbse croaked.
mircea_popescu: it'll go to 50 eventually.
dudesir: lol I was assuming downwards, I suppose MPEX is only for those who are already rich...
Namworld: The rules are like this, dudesir: fee will only increase or stay the same.
dudesir: haha why?
Namworld: Why not?
dudesir: more users?
chipug: everything increases with time, even waistlines
herbijudlestoids: dudesir: its an exchange, do you have an account with the CME or NYSE? you have an account with your broker, who has a seat (or equiv) at the exchange
Namworld: MPEx doesn't need more members and doesn't offer much support.
Namworld: It's designed to work like any stock exchange.
Namworld: Not for everyone to sign up on.
Namworld: Only large brokers and large institutions.
Namworld: People with lower investments can use a broker like CoinBR to trade MPEx
dudesir: Does it cost 30000$ to get an acct at nyse?
Namworld: Much more than that.
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [AM1] 1 @ 0.5698999 BTC [+]
dignork: dudesir, actually more
herbijudlestoids: $30,000 per MONTH i am pretty sure
chipug: i could live off that for life!
dudesir: Ok, I think I understand, NYSE is like an underlying exchange and brokers are on top of it?
mircea_popescu: herbijudlestoids was about 1.5mn per year iirc.
herbijudlestoids: and not just that but its not like you can just buy a seat at the NYSE, someone has to die or want to sell their seat
ozbot: NYSE, New York Stock Exchange > About Us > News & Events > News Releases > Press Release 12-30-2005

herbijudlestoids: "However, to own a seat, a trader or broker must meet more criteria than simply being able to afford it. Prospective owners of the seats must go through a stringent review process and, once accepted, they are required to maintain high levels of compliance and ethics as the NYSE and governmental regulators constantly review members. "
mircea_popescu: well mpex users are also required to maintain high levels of compliance and ethics.
herbijudlestoids: mircea_popescu: do u need someone ethical like me to do due diligence on all your members? :P
herbijudlestoids: uhoh its vexual
mircea_popescu: it's a self-performing operation. one of these days ima wake up to a report of "and then X tried to break Y" and just go "so revoke X"
dudesir: So does being a member enable you to vote on what stocks get allowed? I think I have much research to do on how the NYSE operates...
herbijudlestoids: uhoh i think my analogy has gone too far
Namworld: Nope
mircea_popescu: come to think of it, if the average person knew a whole lot of how the real world functions they'd be pretty scandalised.
mircea_popescu: "what do you mean it's 5mn and a bunch of crap and al lyou get for it is the opportunity to eat the crap ?!?!!"
mircea_popescu: "i want fries with that!11"
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [B.EXCH] 1 @ 0.24310363 BTC
herbijudlestoids: the price is only there as a barrier to entry, not as a meaningful representation of how much it costs to maintain the seat
herbijudlestoids: (on NYSE i mean)
mircea_popescu: generally.
herbijudlestoids: you get a pretty good deal for 5 mio IMHO
herbijudlestoids: naked short almost anything even unborrowed
herbijudlestoids: cancel trades
Vexual: im in a loop thinking of numbers i don't understand, but there are external govt regulators vitoing bullshit on wall street no?

herbijudlestoids: you cant really be a specialist without having a seat or working for a bank/insto that does

DrSteveBrule: My apologies, I don't want to sound like one of those crazy people who just wants to come in a speak bullshit. My reasons for my current short position are 1) Elliot wave principle 2) I don't think the Chinese gov likes bitcoin 3) 4 million dollars worth of option puts bought on http://mpex.co/
DrSteveBrule: I just came here to see if anyone felt the same?
DrSteveBrule: by the way, the option puts expire this month, and the strike price was set for between $400 - $500
DrSteveBrule: that was new news to me today, so correct me if I'm wrong. But thats quite the gamble

herbijudlestoids: is that in the same vein?
kakobrekla: herbijudlestoids are you also operating on fx market?
herbijudlestoids: kakobrekla: yep i have access to the two largest interbank ECN :)
kakobrekla: you might be interested in bit4x then
herbijudlestoids: 1 pip spread lol
kakobrekla: myea thats on the newb accounts
herbijudlestoids: this is an STP, not ECN
kakobrekla: without comission n shit
kakobrekla: o its ecn to currenex
kakobrekla: or a passthrough or whatever you wanna call it
herbijudlestoids: Straight Through Processing...thats what Currenex is. a big matching pool for retail to get fleeced
kakobrekla: right
herbijudlestoids: to give you an idea, my current broker offers a spread of 0.2 pips on EURUSD during Frankfurt/London/NY sessions

kakobrekla: and no swap
kakobrekla: the point is bitcoin denomination anyway
kakobrekla: not so much scalping conditions
herbijudlestoids: waitwhat, no swap?
kakobrekla: yea ;)
herbijudlestoids: so i can pretty much guarantee youre running an unhedged book then?
kakobrekla: all is hedged on currenex
herbijudlestoids: and they magically require no swap of you?
kakobrekla: islam saves dude.
herbijudlestoids: yea, ok seriously no thanks :)
kakobrekla: you cant imagine the pain our people went through to get this.
herbijudlestoids: advice from someone who trades FX seriously, but offering STP broker, 500:1 leverage and no swap is only going to attract retail weenies to get fleeced. real FX traders like ECN, probly max 10-20:1 LVR and want their swap
kakobrekla: fleeces dont have 10 btc
kakobrekla: but your arguments re leverage n stuff are not valid
kakobrekla: but i can see how that might appear on first look
herbijudlestoids: i know FX traders. i am one.
herbijudlestoids: we joke to each other about the people who trade in STP
kakobrekla: point is elsewhere
herbijudlestoids: i will preface it and say its just my opinion, but serious traders only like to trade their money in real markets
kakobrekla: no worries
herbijudlestoids: maybe im wrong and theres a hundred props out there just drooling to short bitcoin on leverage?
kakobrekla: see, told you you have wrong ideas
kakobrekla: we dont even do that.
herbijudlestoids: oh so its only the balance denominated in bitcoins?
kakobrekla: balance, profits, losses
herbijudlestoids: well then i am even less sure why i might use this lol
kakobrekla: ask people who opened an account in 2012 with 100 btc min
herbijudlestoids: and how did the brokerage account benefit them over keeping those 100btc in a wallet?
kakobrekla: 100 btc was something like 1k usd back then
herbijudlestoids: i understand that, but when they open the account with you all they are doing is changing their ownership of 100btc into ownining a liability from you to return 100btc
kakobrekla: brokerage only benefits from good traders
kakobrekla: which make comissions
herbijudlestoids: i am not sure how that liability is inherently more profitable than the underlying asset
herbijudlestoids: look, i dont want to come off as negative nelly on your pet project
kakobrekla: profitability depends on your trading skills
herbijudlestoids: just trying to give my 2c and hope you appreciate the honesty
kakobrekla: no worries you can bark all you want
herbijudlestoids: err exactly, profitability depends on trading skills, ergo, i have nothing to ask people who opened an account with 100btc in 2012
herbijudlestoids: if they are profitable its because of their skills or luck, and if not then not. nothing to do with the BTCUSD rate.
kakobrekla: i kept my exposure to btc while operating on fx market
kakobrekla: which was the right call.
herbijudlestoids: well, while "operating" on the FX market, you took on liabilities yourself, probably in several times excess more than the net value of your BTC on several occasions, so whatever premium you earned is a risk premium, thats all, nothing special
kakobrekla: funny guy
herbijudlestoids: am i funny because you think im wrong? pls lemme know how your strategy goes on nonlinear event days :)
kakobrekla: assuption is the mother of all fuckup
kakobrekla: eh, assumption.
herbijudlestoids: dude. FX trader talking here. i have been in the *real* market on leverage when the liquidity evaporated, on numerous times.
herbijudlestoids: so unless youre claiming that all of your trades are operating without leverage...
kakobrekla: im not sure whats confusing you to write all the bollocks really
herbijudlestoids: im not sure which bit you think is bollocks? do you really think you didnt take on any liabilities when placing leverage trades? do you really believe that stops on currenex are honoured during liquidity events?
herbijudlestoids: if its bollocks, enlighten me
kakobrekla: haha?
herbijudlestoids: the venetFX risk disclosure statement, points #1 and #2
herbijudlestoids: i bet they pool the accounts too
kakobrekla: who pools the accounts?
herbijudlestoids: you should send an email to venetFX asking if they pool accounts :)
kakobrekla: im in the vfx office nao
kakobrekla: i can just punch someone in the fae
kakobrekla: anyway, i never had a case in 2 years where what you describe would be a problem
herbijudlestoids: recency bias
herbijudlestoids: i have experienced it trading USDJPY during the may 6 2010 flash crash
herbijudlestoids: and trading EURNZD before RBNZ comes online in the morning
herbijudlestoids: i have even had limits in EURUSD gapped during news
herbijudlestoids: on the fucken interbank...trust me...it happens
kakobrekla: im stacked with btc so whatevs
herbijudlestoids: well, i guess all i can say is i hope you never experience a 1% adverse move when youve got a 100:1 open trade :)
kakobrekla: i would never use :100
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [MS] 80 @ 0.005 = 0.4 BTC
kakobrekla: but yeah if people wanna gamble, let them gable
kakobrekla: gamble
herbijudlestoids: kakobrekla: in europe i like dukascopy and have an account there, but rarely use it anymore since pepperstone came to australia.
kakobrekla: as long as they pay...
herbijudlestoids: kakobrekla: i got a bunch of models for FX that i cant use, want em? :D
herbijudlestoids: i will even share them for free
kakobrekla: dunno all models are wrong
kakobrekla: some are useful
herbijudlestoids: these are models where the goal is to generate a ~10%CAGR over ~10y with low/no correlation to regular asset classes
herbijudlestoids: mostly for EURUSD since that is my bread and butter, but a couple of adaptive ones that tend to work as part of a portfolio of model
kakobrekla: why is it that you cant use them anyway
herbijudlestoids: well i build more models than i need, and only have so much capital, plus some are more tax constraining than others
herbijudlestoids: here ya go, i wrote this mean reversion model for EURUSD in R and as well an MQL4 copy, i noticed you support MT4 as the platform so this one is probly easier
herbijudlestoids: basically betting against short term action and sizing based on position in the long term range
herbijudlestoids: i have a better version which uses a couple of simple regime filters somewhere, that allos the same model to work on all the major pairs...lemme see if i can find it
kakobrekla: > if(Close[1] < Close[n] && Close[1] > Close[s]) {
kakobrekla: heavy shit ;)
herbijudlestoids: there ya go, here is the regime filter version http://pastebin.com/LpxA0icf
herbijudlestoids: kakobrekla: simplicity = robustness :)
kakobrekla: dont get me wrong
kakobrekla: i love simplicity
kakobrekla: after a year of simplicifying i ended up with 5k+ lines of code in 3 seperate processes
herbijudlestoids: i also got a follow through model somewhere, built originally for GBPUSD...called (no surprise) deconfidence, cant find it right now
herbijudlestoids: kakobrekla: i should clarify. these models are not for intraday use, they trade on an EOD basis
kakobrekla: ill bounce it to enky, he does evaluations n shit
herbijudlestoids: anyway, i got some more around, lemme know if you want them.
kakobrekla: let see what he sez

herbijudlestoids: slightly different design for tax purposes
kakobrekla: sure ill fwd you the reply
kakobrekla: what is the tax issue exactly
kakobrekla: perhaps you need a btc denomination
kakobrekla: hehe.
herbijudlestoids: basically, depending on my gross income in a given year i can have my tax treated differently...trading certain positions allows me to claim them as hedges against other positions in other markets...much better tax treatment, better overall annual return

kakobrekla: well move then, no fx or btc gains tax here
herbijudlestoids: im in aus
kakobrekla: and that question mark on the end, does that mean you are unsure

mircea_popescu: he imagines that "as long as i got my coffee and can yell to the wifey for sandwiches the kids don;t know where in the house i am to come asking for money" ?

ThickAsThieves: or whatever
mircea_popescu: yes, but here's the problem :
mircea_popescu: he could say something intelligent that'd work just as well
mircea_popescu: bar that, he could say something unstupid that worked just as well
ThickAsThieves: if he werent pandering to anti-intellectuals maybe
mircea_popescu: his choice to say something retarded i HIS

mircea_popescu: punkman1 this is true.
mircea_popescu: the thing is, one of the fundamental business strategy mistakes google fell into is
mircea_popescu: that it picked "fast" rather than "correctly"
punkman1: like I wanted to put commoncrawl data on AWS and run my own queries, but fuck it if it's gonna cost me $20 per query
mircea_popescu: you'd rather have 5 second waits for excellent search pages than the current search pages in .5 seconds
ThickAsThieves: works well enough for most i guess
mircea_popescu: they didn't start this way, back when larry and serghey, but over the course of "business" various moles slowly optimized towards it
punkman1: not enough seconds for everyone
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves only because they don't know what they're missing.
punkman1: my biggest gripe is that exact search is no longer very exact
ThickAsThieves: indeed, my wife is actually the one who reminds me of this
mircea_popescu: for instance.
ThickAsThieves: she thinks google is too creepy and will create a small paradigm
mircea_popescu: it has already
mircea_popescu: all the fuckwitted jimothies out there are the results of the kitsch-wisdom created by google and wikipedia.
ThickAsThieves: in and of itself maybe
ThickAsThieves: but i dont get all my info from google
punkman1: Google is like the central planning office of the internet
mircea_popescu: YOU don't.
mircea_popescu: a good chunk of the people listening to jesse james or w/e the mn govt's name was do however.
mircea_popescu: and the rest they get either from people who got all their info from google and failed to understand it
mircea_popescu: or from various panderers who are too stupid to pander intelligently or at least unstupidly
ThickAsThieves: yeah the same people that go "if this surch is so great, who so slowz!"

nubbins`: who would rather fly 6.25% organic cotton tank tops in from the exact opposite end of the north american continent
nubbins`: than use non-organic tanks from the next province over
nubbins`: because organic
nubbins`: "is this logo good enough quality?" 28kb png
nubbins`: wait, no, the rage is back
the20year1: 6.25% organic cotton because....?
asciilifeform: british crown ddos of irc!
nubbins`: because organic
nubbins`: because she runs a yoga studio
mircea_popescu: and this is where we quote to you
nubbins`: and because most people, given the choice between BEING "eco-friendly" and APPEARING "eco-friendly", will choose the latter
mircea_popescu: "punkman1> he gets paid to say that shit"
nubbins`: seriously, i could sew a one-inch strip of organic cotton onto the bottom of a regular tank top for the same effect.

mircea_popescu: actually this is an engineering task.

chipug: gshq?!
punkman1: so it only contains 6.25% organic cotton?
nubbins`: 6.25% organic cotton and 6.25% recycled polyester
nubbins`: the rest is just regular cotton/poly
ThickAsThieves: yeah cuz wholly organic would ruin yoga tudios profit margin
nubbins`: oh, did i mention these are OVER DOUBLE THE COST, too?
punkman1: why even mix the two?
nubbins`: punkman1: for some reason, you can't buy 100% organic cotton tank tops.
nubbins`: i'm not sure why
ThickAsThieves: maybe cuz they shrink too much
nubbins`: cotton's cotton, it's usually pre-shrunk anyway

nubbins`: happening right now with edmonton, calgary

punkman: guess when they lost millions to Dwolla might have been a good time
mircea_popescu: if mtgox goes to shit puts hurt mpoebot makes dough
mircea_popescu: punkman the dwolla thing sunk tradehill, but mtgox was not seriously affected then.
mircea_popescu: in fact i still suspect the dwolla thing was a backroom deal between the two to strangle competition.
ThickAsThieves: you mean if gox goes to shit by not allowing bitcoin exits, i mean by not allowing fiat exits
davout: mircea_popescu: if mtgox goes down you think btc goes down too?
pLambert: I think the mtgoox has shrunk enough that if they close it will not destroy the exchange rate
mircea_popescu: davout even if it only goes down a little through mtgox being taken out of the basket.
pLambert: and people have been pricing in the expected collapse of mtgox for almost a year now
mircea_popescu: currently they're adding a few %s to the avg.
davout: mircea_popescu: oic
mircea_popescu: pLambert this is more of a nominalist thing than anything. bitcoin's long term prospects w/o mtgox are way better than with it.
ThickAsThieves: I read the $5m were seized from Gox related to silk road
ThickAsThieves: they probly let those dollars get spent on btc
mircea_popescu: in fact, the destruction of the original scumfest (the people gorupped around blf, bitcoinica, mtgox, the foundation) is the best thing that can happen for btc.
mircea_popescu: and well... chip chip.
pLambert: mircea_popescu: if mtgox had suddenly shut down when they had 90% of the market the price would tank, now the price might slip a bit but not much
mircea_popescu: they keep trying comebacks, but they aren't getting anywhere with them. meanwhile they bleed marketshare on good days, and they get taken out wholesale now and again.
BingoBoingo: ThickAsThieves: Those GOx seizures were pre-TSR bust
punkman: they don't even make the top 5 in volume most days

herbijudlestoids: well that seems a bit odd
mircea_popescu: tbh it seems to me all the enthusiasm of the darknet people is woefully misdirected.
herbijudlestoids: so you hold no concern over the security of your metadata?
mircea_popescu: and i think mixing together securitization of data and of metadata is an epic mistake.
mircea_popescu: these are wildly divergent usecases.

FabianB_: what you're describing sounds like cjdns (encryption of the network, but i think not anonymity)
mircea_popescu: what, exactly ? so i feel like posting nudes one day. herpderp what, god forbid someone associates it ?
mircea_popescu: let them associte it, what of.
herbijudlestoids: OTR keeps the actual messages secure
mircea_popescu: i think you're confused as to what otr actually does.
herbijudlestoids: FabianB_: i know cjdns, prefer i2p
mircea_popescu: FabianB_ iguess it does huh
FabianB_: herbijudlestoids: coz you want the anonymity i guess
herbijudlestoids: mircea_popescu: why do you seem to think OTR does not encrypt the conversations?
herbijudlestoids: second time youve mentioned it
mircea_popescu: herbijudlestoids otr makes exactly two guarantees : that only your intended recipient can read your next line, and that should someone obtain the plaintext of your communications they can't prove that it is in fact yours rather than theirs.
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [CBTC] 3000 @ 0.00012001 = 0.36 BTC [-]

mircea_popescu: that's probably a narrowing down, but anyway

herbijudlestoids: each message has its own discarded AES key negotiated by DH
mircea_popescu: "Anyone can forge messages after a conversation to make them look like they came from you. However, during a conversation, your correspondent is assured the messages he sees are authentic and unmodified."

herbijudlestoids: lucky i use tails
mircea_popescu: i'm by no means saying otr is bad or anything. i use it extensively for that matter
herbijudlestoids: i find it confusing because you seem to imply the messages are not encrypted
herbijudlestoids: being able to forge additional messages post conversation really means nothing to my threat model
mircea_popescu: certainly they're encrypted.

mircea_popescu: did you just tell me you're promising to pay 10 btc for a stuffed dollie five minutes ago ?

herbijudlestoids: i got no issues with GPG, but most of the conversations where i care about the security of it, i dont want it tied to my identity if at all possible
herbijudlestoids: some things i work on, require very very high opsec
herbijudlestoids: at least for peace of mind

mircea_popescu: you do not understand the nature of idiocy.

mircea_popescu: herbijudlestoids my general point here being that once you yielded to the adversary the identification of the channel,
mircea_popescu: you've already lost most of the battle.
mircea_popescu: keep the channel secret in your model.

herbijudlestoids: not sure what you mean
herbijudlestoids: what im saying is i can walk into the city, reaver a WPS pin, login using tails and communicate over irc/jabber/whatever over i2p
herbijudlestoids: how is the channel known
mircea_popescu: well i have the converse problem : not sure how to make it clearer.
herbijudlestoids: dear diary: today i hired mircea_popescu as a security consultant, and he told me to magically contact my counterpart to let them know they need to listen to eadio on certain frequency at certain time
asciilifeform: standardized stego (e.g. 'let's all encode messages in the lowest color bit of lolcat photos) is about as useful as the practice of hiding your house key under the door mat.
mircea_popescu: herbijudlestoids this is a decent point, in that you'll both need to be on the same page.

herbijudlestoids: we need to talk...maybe once a month or less...
herbijudlestoids: over the internet.
asciilifeform: talk in real time?
mircea_popescu: i doubt otr actually covers this case.
herbijudlestoids: it has to be impossible for anyone to ever use those communicatoins to find out who is running the project.
herbijudlestoids: mircea_popescu: i told you like 50 times we are using OTR to encrypt conversations that take place over i2p
mircea_popescu: if for no other reason then because it is probably feasible for the adversary to build a list of people and then cross names off
mircea_popescu: they won't KNOW it's you, they will however know it's none of the other schmucks.
mircea_popescu: they can take place over the naked body of mary.
BingoBoingo: herbijudlestoids: Why not turtle routing if it is only two known parties that can exchange credentials in person?
asciilifeform: it depends on what the project is. if it's a lamecoin, it could be 10,000 schmucks. if it's a working TWINKLE, your name is shamir and they already know where you live.
herbijudlestoids: i dunno what a twinkle is, but my name is sina, so close enough :P
herbijudlestoids: BingoBoingo: explain?
herbijudlestoids: if i wanted F2F i would use gnunet, but i want intermediary nodes to take the traffic load, i dont want to talk directly to the counterparts IP
BingoBoingo: herbijudlestoids: Turtle routing is kind of like i2p except the assumption exists you actually know and meat/meet everyone you connect to.
herbijudlestoids: yeah...no...i would likely use the gnunet for F2F comms
herbijudlestoids: asciilifeform: it is not a working TWINKLE :)
asciilifeform: herbijudlestoids: is cost a constraint?
asciilifeform: because if it isn't, you can stuff bytes in the btc block chain.
herbijudlestoids: why on earth would i persist OTR conversations into the blockchain
mircea_popescu: and if it is, you can stuff bytes in altcoin block chain.

herbijudlestoids: asciilifeform: i make that assumption, but i why would i WILLINGLY persist something in the blockchain
mircea_popescu: because it's better to fuck willingly than to get fucked ?
asciilifeform: because this way 10,000 lamers are all equal candidates for the inquisition, for having said packets on disk
mircea_popescu: at least in some people's estimation.
herbijudlestoids: asciilifeform: in that case i would always use freenet, but i dont want persistence and prefer 10,000 lamers to have the packets in their NIC than on their disk.

herbijudlestoids: asciilifeform: ah right. thx...i appreciate the gesture :)
herbijudlestoids: BingoBoingo: um, no, the beans contain L-DOPA which is an acute dopamine precursor, l-tyrosine is much more effective and less acute, precursor to all catecholamines

herbijudlestoids: BingoBoingo: im not a neuroscientist, but i did used to work at the largest neuroscience research facility in australia. consider my knowledge on the topic a poor carbon copy
BingoBoingo: herbijudlestoids: 5-HTP is mostly a precusor of things that aren't catecholamines anyway
BingoBoingo: herbijudlestoids: I haven't taken a bio class since 7th grade.
herbijudlestoids: BingoBoingo: you misunderstand, i was referring to 5-htp being a direct serotonin precursor (equiv of L-DOPA for dopamine) and l-tryptophan being broader/less acute
asciilifeform: serotonin more or less stops at the blood-brain barrier, so 5-htp just annoys your liver.
herbijudlestoids: 5-htp is the l-dopa of serotonin...is what i meant
BingoBoingo: herbijudlestoids: But in vitro most 5-HTP becomes various histamines as opposed to becoming serotinin.
herbijudlestoids: who cares about in vitro
herbijudlestoids: i am talking about when you eat it
BingoBoingo: 5-HTP generallyis dangerous because it is a histamine precursor rather than a serotonin precursor.

mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo i hear a lot of work is being put into keeping us citizens from being able to travel abroad
mircea_popescu: for all sorts of not-directly-related reasons
nubbins`: and they said group theory wouldn't prove useful in real life.
pankkake: a lot of work = butt probes and cancer-giving machines?
benkay: can't say as i agree, mp. before i was limited pretty solidly on increasing revenue. nowadays, i'm only limited on revenue by my ability to find work and people to do it.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: so far, just a bit of dekulakization.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: If it comes down to life and death I can walk to Nuevo Laredo and get all of the hookers. Nao though... Imma wilk my 2.5 BTC out of Mr. Drive Thru.

BingoBoingo: Aka why the superbowl was as boring as fuck
jayk: he sprained his ankle
jayk: sherman was visible upset he wasn't able to show off
jayk: or run his mouf
jayk: got carted off the field ...

BingoBoingo: jayk: Shut yout mouth. When he was on the field he crippled Denver, they coudn't dar to try going long.
jayk: i live in seattle we had a parade today, 750K showed up
jayk: seattle police only expected about 300 maybe 350K
jayk: sherman didn't do much during the superbowl and got injured :P
the20year2: what parade?
jayk: for the seahawks
the20year2: oh nice
the20year2: they deserve it
jayk: biggest event ever in the history of seattle

BingoBoingo: jayk: He did everything the first 3 and 1/3 quarters.

BingoBoingo: For the college championsip 10 seconds either way on the clock would have changed the win. This Winning by everything sort of game should be a forgetable regular season game.

mircea_popescu: no clam chowder ?
jayk: clam chowder is a lot of work to make
Vexual: how much copper nitrate can they cope with? :)
nubbins`: clam chowder isn't too bad prep-wis
nubbins`: lot of separate ingredients to buy, but it's a single-pot meal
jayk: 3hours?
jayk: potatoes take a long time
nubbins`: not 3 hours
nubbins`: 20-30 minutes spread over 3 hours
nubbins`: that's like saying sourdough is a lot of work because it takes 8 hours to make 2 loaves

nubbins`: the other day, i simmered a dozen sausages in a pot of pasta sauce for an hour and a half ;(
jayk: i have never made it though i have been thinking about it
nubbins`: the only problem is that it's a costly meal because you have to buy so many different types of seafood
Vexual: yes, its so china
jayk: i could get the clams for free
nubbins`: but you get a huge pot of it afterwards
jayk: the ground has been so cold here i bet my potatoes are still hard from last year
nubbins`: i cellared a few sacks of potatoes today
cazalla: is it even worth your time to grow potatoes?
jayk: yes
cazalla: i grow stuff i can't pick up at the fruit shop
nubbins`: cazalla: again, it's not much effort
nubbins`: it's just spread over a long period of time
jayk: i probably have 1000lbs in the ground or more
cazalla: not so much the effort but the space they take up
jayk: they are easy to grow
nubbins`: you can grow potatoes in containers, it's what i've done
nubbins`: tall wicker baskets, even a burlap sack
nubbins`: or go fancy and spend $20 on lumber to build a potato box
cazalla: i've read you can grow them vertically but i've also read people posting that it doesn't work
jayk: i tried to grow onions but my ducks trampeled over them
nubbins`: get 100lbs of potatoes out of it
Vexual: do you pick 100 or 1000 lbs by hand?
jayk: yes with shovel
cazalla: my tomatoes have been shit this year, constant heat wave has just ruined them
jayk: i only picked about 50lbs
nubbins`: the deck wouldn't support 1000, it's rickety
nubbins`: my tomatoes were pretty good this year
nubbins`: the broccoli all bolted when i was away for two weeks
jayk: a dear destroyed all my tomatoes

mircea_popescu: jesus! so all my life i was of the opinion i can identify diabethics, because i smell it on their breath. bunches of people thought this nutty.
nubbins`: sweet
mircea_popescu: talking to doctor person today i find out that a. in diabethics the body uses a lot of fat, creating a lot of ketones
herbijudlestoids: mircea_popescu: ketoacidosis?
mircea_popescu: which eventually decarboxylate into acetone
mircea_popescu: which eventually gets lost through respiration.
mircea_popescu: (the guy asks me "well, what does it smell like ?" "apples" "but ofcourse. you're smelling acetone.")
Vexual: something clever
mircea_popescu: never fucking doubt what you know!
herbijudlestoids: or just google to confirm :P
mircea_popescu: i guess so.
nubbins`: incidentally, this is where the whole "huffing on your fingernails before rubbing them on your lapel" thing came from
mircea_popescu: herbijudlestoids don't work with cunts. you play any poker ?
herbijudlestoids: i dont play poker
Namworld: You guys should see Bitfinex right now.
mircea_popescu: herbijudlestoids mkay. anyway, the idea is you ditch a hand when you know it can't win, not when you're comfortable with the loss.
Namworld: Someone managed to put a micro ask order for 500 USD/BTC and a bid for 10000 USD/BTC, which are now stuck there.
mircea_popescu: bitfinex still exists ?!
Namworld: Let's just say it's breaking having on the shorts/calls
Namworld: Yes. I was talking about it last month
mircea_popescu: how do all the scams keep going about like fucking zombies i'll never know./
Namworld: Saying how it was lasting a long time while I expected it to go under within a month.
herbijudlestoids: mircea_popescu: if i didnt think the company was about to grow by about 1000% i wouldnt be working here :)
Namworld: Mircea, there's a lot of people trading on Bitfinex.
mircea_popescu: herbijudlestoids a ok then. you don't REALLY think they're cunts huh.
nubbins`: well if it's gonna do that, fuck the servers and switching ;p
nubbins`: go to 2x as many "meetups"
mircea_popescu: Namworld sucks for them i guess.
Namworld: They can be seen on the Bitcoin price/market/speculation channels. Lot of people short/call on there.
herbijudlestoids: mircea_popescu: theyre cunts because i should be in charge and everyone should listen to me and do as i say but they dont
Namworld: I'm on like 20 BTC related channels, watching
mircea_popescu: herbijudlestoids kinda proves they shouldn't.
cazalla: tickles my ego when i know what mircea_popescu is going to say before it's said
mircea_popescu: cazalla :)
herbijudlestoids: let me clarify. they are not cunts, until something goes wrong in exactly the way that i predicted if we went down a particular path
herbijudlestoids: then, they are cunts.
mircea_popescu: tell them :D
mircea_popescu: what do they say ?
herbijudlestoids: mostly that things are the way they are
mircea_popescu: i'll bet you an altcoin this thing isn't growing 1000% in three months.
Vexual: hey im at this luch, sounds like a good idea
herbijudlestoids: 3-6 months is actually the timeframe
mircea_popescu: take it or leave it :D

mircea_popescu: i never watched that.
herbijudlestoids: woah what!
Vexual: trilema
mircea_popescu: o nm, i did watch five minutes of it. larry david is being awkward while a girlscout selling him cookies gets her period.
mircea_popescu: it sounds way better in that summary than it actually was.
herbijudlestoids: i always grew up thinking each of the seinfeld characters has their own special quirks
herbijudlestoids: but then i watched curb your enthusiasm and realised they are all just bits of larry david
mircea_popescu: i would say larry david's contribution into the show is roughly represented by his total pay.
mircea_popescu: he made what, like 50mn to seinfeld's 1bn ?
herbijudlestoids: ? his net worth is 750mn
Vexual: im sending chapelle corby the seinfeld box

mircea_popescu: Namworld i generally don't want to see random people naked.
mircea_popescu: i want to see specific people naked and that's all.
mircea_popescu: moreover, the awkwardness and disability of the general folk the ban supports and nourishes serves as an adequate representation of their general mental and social inferiority.
