TheNewDeal: can someone help me decipher this image http://bitcoin.sipa.be/growth-10k.png
Vexual: lol indeed
Vexual: how do you want it?
TheNewDeal: how does one calculate a %/day of the network
Vexual: from a picture?
TheNewDeal: give me a sample calculation, with some generic variables
TheNewDeal: like hashrateRightnow/hashrate24hrsago?
Vexual: tends to 1
Vexual: the other way is zero
TheNewDeal: lets say we have a 1 %/day growth rate over a period of 13 days
Vexual: the graph usually comes later,what u wanna do?
TheNewDeal: how much has the network grown
TheNewDeal: 1.01^13?
TheNewDeal: I'm looking at difficulty predictions and want to know what this graph can tell me
Vexual: why?
TheNewDeal: bitbet of course
Vexual: link to bet?
assbot: BitBet - Bitcoin incremental difficulty to increase by 3B or more :: 0.49 B (39%) on Yes, 0.77 B (61%) on No | closing in 3 months 6 days | weight: 56`015 (100`000 to 6`000)
assbot: BitBet - BTC network hashrate will exceed 1 Exahash/s before 2015 :: 2.28 B (35%) on Yes, 4.29 B (65%) on No | closing in 5 months 4 weeks | weight: 57`534 (100`000 to 5`000)
assbot: BitBet - Bitcoin network difficulty > 14Bn on Bastille day :: 112.59 B (85%) on Yes, 19.55 B (15%) on No | closing in 1 week 19 hours | weight: 4`539 (100`000 to 1)
TheNewDeal: there's too many
TheNewDeal: let's pick the closest to resolution, the last one
Vexual: one off the top ok
TheNewDeal: mmkay
Vexual: continue
TheNewDeal: if the network hovers at let's say, 1.1 %/day growth, what will be the hash rate on October 1st
Vexual: syntax error
Vexual: repeat the question
TheNewDeal: if the network growth rate is 1.1%, how long will it take to find 2016 blocks?
TheNewDeal: 1.1%/day
Vexual: thats wronger
TheNewDeal: if the hashrate over the last 512 blocks averages 87,961,249 GH/s, what will be the hashrate tomorrow, assuming the growth rate was equal to that of the last 14-day period

TheNewDeal: BingoBoingo, can you explain a hashrate graph?
BingoBoingo: Not well
TheNewDeal: better than vexual?
Vexual: i told u wait and see cock knocker
BingoBoingo: WHo knows?
Vexual: they eyes have it
TheNewDeal: wait and see what?
Vexual: bet or don't
TheNewDeal: I have already bet
TheNewDeal: I would like to have an educated bet, backed with some numbers, instead of going with a gut feeling
BingoBoingo: Well, the bastile day bet is looking increasingly like diff will make it, but I bet no a while a go
TheNewDeal: i've got about 5.5 riding on yes
TheNewDeal: i'm wondering why someone laid down 6 on No, betting about a day apart. They lost 13% of the timeweight they would have had if they would have wagered it all at once
Vexual: prolly a human
TheNewDeal: I'm wondering what made them conclude "I should bet on No", other than the fact that the payout was 2:1
assbot: "Empire State of Mind" JAY Z | Alicia Keys [OFFICIAL VIDEO] - YouTube
TheNewDeal: I'm trying to figure out what type of growth rates are required for 12 and 13 day difficulty changes. I can't do it
Vexual: work out what betting on yes pays
Vexual: or survey me
TheNewDeal: ;;calc (1.5999*41+4*33)/2396
gribble: 0.0824690734558
BingoBoingo: Well, payout was much better when I put one down on No
TheNewDeal: ;;calc (1.5999*41+4*33)/2396*19.55
gribble: 1.61227038606
TheNewDeal: that's my take, minus the fees
TheNewDeal: when I was betting, it was about a 12% (constant) difficulty increase that would make it happen
TheNewDeal: but the last difficulty change was going to be questionable
Vexual: howmany bitbets have paid yes?
assbot: BitBet - Block 315k mined on or before July 28th :: 0.44 B (5%) on Yes, 8.39 B (95%) on No | closing in 1 month 1 week| weight: 25`709 (100`000 to 5`000)
TheNewDeal: not concerned about script, only betting BTC
TheNewDeal: -i +y
TheNewDeal: the network would have to pump out blocks like 15% faster over the next 10,000 for that block 315k to be yes
Vexual: one million corea!

assbot: The #1 Problem Bitcoin Will Solve by 2015 – Bitcoin Magazine
ThickAsThieves: “By the end of 2015 I hope that Bitcoin will enable people to be able to transact with other individuals across the planet, without requiring permission from a bank or government.”
ThickAsThieves: enable people to be able
ThickAsThieves: good stuff
ThickAsThieves: Jon Matonis – “The number one problem that I hope Bitcoin will solve by the end of 2015 is the ability to provide a realistic and viable alternative to central bank issued currencies.”
mircea_popescu: about the missing mpex reports : s.nsa will be published today. s.mpex will be published next month.
mircea_popescu: <pankkake> what's more unfortunate, is that things where it is actually useful, like domain names and certificates… no one cares << this IS sad.
mircea_popescu: i was kinda having high hopes for namecoin. then it died. then i was having high hopes again. then it seems it died #2 ?
pankkake: there are things slowly happening. opennic now serves .bit, there are a few services…
mircea_popescu: hm. maybe it's time to stfu and actually support it a little.
mircea_popescu: pankkake can you be bothered to be my nmc broker or have you had it with brokering ?
pankkake: I can, I have a namecoin node already
pankkake: though it's on my datacenter server, so for large amounts I'll have to change
mircea_popescu: what's it trade at these days ? (and where even ?)
mircea_popescu: Apocalyptic, you cover nmc ?
pankkake: I actually bought my last NMC there, with my ATC sales
mircea_popescu: a sweet.
mircea_popescu: ima add it to fmpif then. ping BingoBoingo
pankkake: using namecoind is horrible. though I haven't tried the Qt one
mircea_popescu: why;s it horrible ?
pankkake: it's missing many useful commands, and is slow
mircea_popescu: yeah well.
pankkake: makes it hard to track what's happening
mircea_popescu: remind me, what are the chain characteristics ? sha256 ? how many per block, how frequent blocks ?
pankkake: ThickAsThieves: as well as updated windows binaries, Altcoin could certainly use coin control features. there's the possibility of using 0.9 (perhaps disable payment protocol as a statement), or merge the bitcoin-omg 0.8 patches (probably less work)
pankkake: sha256, and everything the same as Bitcoin
pankkake: merge-mined
assbot: Namecoin block explorer
mircea_popescu: i subscribe to the coin control features, but definitely minus the payment protocol bullshit.
mircea_popescu: and patches should be merged one by one if at all.
assbot: Namecoin block explorer
mircea_popescu: pankkake, and how do the costs to reg a domain work at all ? is it a fixed fee ?
pankkake: 0.9 changed many file locations, the build system, etc. so it's pretty much all or nothing
pankkake: I think it's 0.01 NMC, then the updates are usually free
mircea_popescu: pankkake, then its nothing.
mircea_popescu: anyway, what happens to the 1 ncent ? lost for all time ?
dub: paid to miners would be sensible neh?
pankkake: I think they are, it created some controversy
pankkake: I mean they are destroyed

dub: it solves some big problems but creates others

mircea_popescu: fucking mpex solves some big problems and creates others.
mircea_popescu: sex solves some big problems and creates othersw.
dub: yes, and as soon an grandma can get to .bit and finds mr hands at wallmart.bit everyone involved is going to court then gitmo
dub: the market wants to buy control

dub: (you've been on the internet right?)
mircea_popescu: dub, i actually had missed that one. apparently my internet use a decade ago was not sufficiently close to matters of interes tfor the gay community.
dub: the point is you can't really decouple branding from ownership
mircea_popescu: the other point being that customers can have any car color they want as long as it's black.
dub: DNS needs oversight
mircea_popescu: not in that sense.
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 5989 @ 0.0008624 = 5.1649 BTC [+]
mircea_popescu: the fact that organised scammers can currently steal domain names is the most important vector of attack reducing the credibility of the dns system
mircea_popescu: if that's done away with, dns may even survive as a going concern
dub: they can't steal them though
dub: they can hijack at best
mircea_popescu: you don't take my meaning.
dub: I think the most concerning vector of attack is the fucking NSA
mircea_popescu: against the dns ? nah. the fbi.
dub: and, equally, corporate america
mircea_popescu: arrest warrant in rem, seriously ? gtfo.
mircea_popescu: if i ever turn to a life of crime and merry robbery, i'ma leave the victims arrest warrants in rem too
mircea_popescu: "hey sir, your watch is under arrest"
mircea_popescu: "As there was no law against humanely fucking one horse, the prosecutors could only charge Tait with trespassing."
mircea_popescu: ok that's pretty good.
mircea_popescu: "The police tracked down the rural Enumclaw-area farm, which was known in zoophile Internet chat rooms as a destination for people who want to have sex with livestock, and seized hundreds of hours of videotapes of men engaging in receptive anal sex with horses. One of the videotapes featured Kenneth Pinyan shortly before he died July 2"
mircea_popescu: dude srsly ? they actually can do that ?
dub: sieze your gay horse porn? why not
xmj: 'receptive anal sex'
mircea_popescu: dudes can actually take a horse ?!
los_pantalones: the sphincter is a muscle, it can be trained
dub: the horse is like 'meh, any port in a storm'
pankkake: yes, see goatse
dub: mircea_popescu: some apparently cannot
mircea_popescu: there go asciilifeform's hopes of impalement as a punishment
TomServo: evidently they can, may include perforated colon, but hey
pankkake: !up Diablo-D3
mircea_popescu: dub, good point
Diablo-D3: is kenneth pinyan mr hands?
mircea_popescu: TomServo, its dawning of me that for it to be a perforated colon rather than a torn anus it'd have had to be... in
dub: Diablo-D3: think so, thats the voyage of discovery mp is on
TomServo: never a pleasant realization
mircea_popescu: dub has ruined my innocence.
Diablo-D3: yeah, thats, uh, just, uh, lame tbh
Diablo-D3: there are much safer alternatives than horse dick
dub: I know another kenneth who could use getting fucked to death by a horse
Diablo-D3: like those hilariously large faux horse dildos
mircea_popescu: maybe take him down to the farm ?
kakobrekla: wtf my nsa shirt has holes innit. brand new holes.
mircea_popescu: did you sleep woith a horse ?
kakobrekla: not yet
dub: one each for your arms and the hairy part in the middle
mircea_popescu: then stop going to sleep with your cigar lit ?
TomServo: I thought NSA shirts shipped with cardano?! what is this scam?!
mircea_popescu: TomServo, shhh
kakobrekla: its a fresh one.
mircea_popescu: we're making it difficult for the real nsa to get one.
mircea_popescu: fluffypony: IRC meets blockchain technology << actually if you want to do something useful, provision a server (ie, the actual hardware), donate its use to the freenode people (they have a special page)
mircea_popescu: that way, if anything happens (such as freenode going down, or becoming assholes or w/e) we'll have a set of irc servers ready to go and create our own irc network.
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: was just trolling :)
mircea_popescu: ya but it's strategically relevant to our interests.
dub: usually the bar for linking a server is set kinda high
mircea_popescu: the ircd is solid, and the irc network is going to be how we communicate.
mircea_popescu: dub, seeing how there's dozens of them...
thestringpuller: /lastlog thestringpuller 5
dub: you might be able to donate hardware but they wont give you control of it without a lot of trust
mircea_popescu: not a matter of control of it.
ThickAsThieves: anyone have a cryptsy referral code?
mircea_popescu: (is this one of the new exchanges ?)
ThickAsThieves: it's the all-encompassing crypto-only exchange
assbot: Cryptsy - Register New Account
pankkake: it's where altcoins go to die. and it's old
pankkake: "To increase your trading ability, please verify your account!" lol
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 19000 @ 0.00085858 = 16.313 BTC [-]
ThickAsThieves: i already made the account, it says 3099 is an invalid code
dub: bittrex looks ok, seems to be real people
ThickAsThieves: i need your trade key
dub: no ATC though
pankkake: 88ee24aa384fa7680c54db5d3a17ded28aed34e0
pankkake: I thought it was some sort of secret key
pankkake: apparently it isn't
pankkake: thanks
los_pantalones: had a buddy at cryptsy that kept getting negative btc balances
los_pantalones: he met up w/ the guys who run it
los_pantalones: they wouldn't admit it was a bug
los_pantalones: then i think a few more people started reporting issues
los_pantalones: no real conclusion, just be wary
Apocalyptic: that's been known for a long time
los_pantalones: alrighty
Apocalyptic: alas noobs don't care
fluffypony: ThickAsThieves: what you doing with Cryptsy? getting ATC listed?
mircea_popescu: "the Bitcoin network has reached nearly 100 petahashes of processing power, less than 8 piddling months after hitting 1 petahash."
mircea_popescu: pete's law of the bitcoin network ? "two degrees of magnitude each 8 months"
ThickAsThieves: <+fluffypony> ThickAsThieves: what you doing with Cryptsy? getting ATC listed? /// well i'm emailing support for the seconf time about it, but this time to see if they'll add it to a special page they have for letting community vote on what to add next. this mechanism also has a way to pay for votes (i havent done the math)
fluffypony: yeah to the voting page
ThickAsThieves: I've also got the trading bug a few weeks ago, so dipping into alts too
mircea_popescu: how much could it be
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: well
fluffypony: Mediterraneancoin has 17886 votes
fluffypony: at 0.0002 each
fluffypony: 3.5 BTC
mircea_popescu: o so vote count doesn't actually do anything ?
mircea_popescu: i thought they have 10 derps voting like whatever meanwhile dead exchange used to
mircea_popescu: and you give a coupla bitcents to each or w/e
fluffypony: each registered user gets 1 free vote
fluffypony: and you can also use your Cryptsy points to vote
fluffypony: I have some points I can blow on votes
fluffypony: once it's on there
mircea_popescu: eh da fuck. who runs this thing again ?
Apocalyptic: some Big Vern in Flordia
mircea_popescu: playing stupid social media games with some anon's derpy site, what is this.
fluffypony: BigVern
Apocalyptic: *Florida
pankkake: many altcoin exchanges have the same bizness model

xmj: ThickAsThieves: eeee
fluffypony: who else is going to Talla at the end of the month?
mircea_popescu: face the 'bitterness of loneliness' in old age" << this is quite true, he has a point.
xmj: he does
xmj: but it does not need the pope to bring up the image of the old, bitter, catlady
fluffypony: s/Talla/Tallinn

asciilifeform goes out to reset bird
ThickAsThieves: you heard it here first, Kate-Craig is gonna default on the ciphermine.b1 bond

pankkake: deprived wasn't 100% in it right?
Apocalyptic: TAT, kinda wondering why you need cryptsy to accept ATC
fluffypony: Apocalyptic: volume
ThickAsThieves: it's not a "need"
pankkake: punkman: wow, that's some level of pigeon-assholism
Apocalyptic: fluffypony, that "volume" is essentially trader puming & dumping coins
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [B.SELL] 10 @ 0.024394 = 0.2439 BTC [-]
ThickAsThieves: but it would help it grow
fluffypony: but it's a marketing exercise
pankkake: it's advertising
punkman: pankkake: yeah last pigeon had the decency to only shit under the bed
ThickAsThieves: i understand why you'd want things to stay on x-bt though
ThickAsThieves: but the alternative would be to advertise x-bt more
ThickAsThieves: or add more coins to it
Apocalyptic: adding more coins will attract the kind of people we really don't want in ATC imo
mircea_popescu: <ThickAsThieves> you heard it here first, Kate-Craig is gonna default on the ciphermine.b1 bond << such a successful business-ex-man ?!
asciilifeform woke up from the noise, looked in window, saw wild cat tunneling (!) under the house. but then the cat successfully penetrated, and the noise continued - then found bird. on other side of bldg. cat isn't doing his work.
mircea_popescu: <ThickAsThieves> but the alternative would be to advertise x-bt more << this can't hurt.
Apocalyptic: it's like saying to MPEX to add more bitcoinbourse securities, cause that's where it's at
ThickAsThieves: it can't hurt, but it's not my job
mircea_popescu: why play the stupid games of some derp that's not even in the wot ?

mircea_popescu: ahahaha o boy.
Apocalyptic: ThickAsThieves, I heard Blockr is going to implement x-bt as the default exchange for ATC
Apocalyptic: and Cryptocoinschart is going to add it as well
Apocalyptic: so i'm working on it
pankkake: ccc would be nice
ThickAsThieves: excellent, i'm not trying to act critical or impatient
pankkake: better would be coinmarketcap
ThickAsThieves: but the next level of ATC adoption would likely include it being listed on another crop of exchanges regardless
ThickAsThieves: whether i instigate it or not
ThickAsThieves: and odds are also high my instigation will be ineffective anyway

asciilifeform: i look at the fscking bird and all i can think, 'ortolan'
diametric: mircea_popescu: speaking of s.nsa, what's your take on erik's settlement with the SEC, and what do you think asciilifeform's risk is of falling into the same situation?
mircea_popescu: diametric, well, i'm not a lawyer, and especially not one admitted before the sec bar
mircea_popescu: (they have like their own private bar by now)
mircea_popescu: my take on the erik settlement is in the logs, lemme fish it out
mike_c: i think if you scoured the entire logs you couldn't find one example of ascii promoting s.nsa shares

assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 11909 @ 0.00085755 = 10.2126 BTC [-]
diametric: mike_c: wasn't part of erik's fine simply because he had IPO'd without filing the required documentation?
mike_c: it seemed to me the only reason he got fined was that his feedzbirdz investors didn't make money.
asciilifeform: i'm still curious precisely why vorhees wasn't sent to the wagen for satoshidice
ThickAsThieves: their main problem seems to be that no filing for exemption or registration was made
assbot: #bitcoin-assets log
mircea_popescu: you will notice that the mpex offering is attached in the deal in a spurious and mostly doomed attempt to shoehorn some relevancy in the matter.
mircea_popescu: otherwise the entire discussion covers his glbse offering
diametric: hah "only" suffered 150k.
diametric: my tax dollars at work
mircea_popescu: this is a trend that has being going on for three years and is likely to continue : people who think they know better than me / don't listen to me will have problems.
mircea_popescu: <diametric> mike_c: wasn't part of erik's fine simply because he had IPO'd without filing the required documentation? << no. he was fined for having advertised a glbse scam.
assbot: From Left to Right (Sleva Napravo) - YouTube
asciilifeform: kakobrekla: that was from an ancient soviet multi-parter

mircea_popescu: moving to norway would make no difference anyway.
asciilifeform: nato muppets, aye
diametric: at the time I mostly chose it due to the climate which I'd enjoy, as well as having the least amount of religious people.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, that's more a factor of us specific idiocy. there was a fuckwit in the street hre, clearly american, derping about jesus to people. he clearly had a mortgage back home,
diametric: asciilifeform: well, i think i was more going along the lines of secularism, a lot of the population of JP doesn't identify with any single religion but rather pieces of several
mircea_popescu: and he clearly believed that a bunch of new world fuctards have truely and really discovered something imp0ortant about jesus.

mircea_popescu: davout, meanwhile one has emerged in conversation. you folks coming to live with me in romania'd have had to wait > 10 years plus for citizenship, making it useless. any attempt to get the foreign minister to commit to making ongoing exceptions predictably failed, not for lack of him wanting to help, but for pure wtf... it's a eu country, it'd have ended up on all the newspapers.

mike_c: she made national news for letting her 9 yr old ride the subway alone
mike_c: "“Let’s put aside for the moment that by far, the most dangerous thing you did to your child that day was put him in a car and drive someplace with him. About 300 children are injured in traffic accidents every day — and about two die. That’s a real risk"
mircea_popescu: whoa chetty check it out
kakobrekla: * asciilifeform blows dust of 'webtv for dummies' (bought on a dare in college) < wait whut camwhoreing ?
mircea_popescu: re that link : i had this nutty discussion with a guy at the mall in timisoara, his 4 yo kid was throwing an absolute tantrum on the ground
mircea_popescu: me "why don't you beat it ?" him *vacant stare*
asciilifeform: kakobrekla: 'webtv' was this '90s gizmo for the terminally sad
mike_c: idk that beatings help. i think i will just go with ignoring in that situation.
mike_c: beating = more screaming.
asciilifeform notices: bird is still working.
mike_c: what do i care if he wants to roll on the ground at the mall and scream? go for it.
kakobrekla: hm ok although you dont seem terminally sad.
mircea_popescu: mike_c, beatings help.
asciilifeform thonk. flap, flap. thonk.
mircea_popescu: ignoring doesn't help.
danielpbarron: i agree; spare the rod, spoil the child
mircea_popescu: mike_c, no, you just beat it until it's too scared to scream.
mike_c: help what? beating is attention, which is what they want.
danielpbarron: all are born wicked; that needs to be beaten out
mircea_popescu: no, beagting is painful
mircea_popescu: which is what they're wired to avoid
mircea_popescu: at all costs.
mike_c: true. well, I'll report back in a few years.
mircea_popescu: <mike_c> what do i care if he wants to roll on the ground at the mall and scream? go for it. << you care because if you didn't you'ds have married a chimp instead of his mother.
danielpbarron: beating a child is much more human then giving them a chemical lobotomy
mircea_popescu: did i stumble on a danielpbarron pet peeve ?
danielpbarron: no, i agree with you
danielpbarron: unless you are being sarcastic
mircea_popescu: well i can see that :)
mike_c: whoop, now i gotta give him percocet instaed of beatings :)
mircea_popescu: is that what they market codeine as ?
TomServo: +mircea_popescu | me "why don't you beat it ?" him *vacant stare* << didn't you say no beating unless double-digit in age?
danielpbarron: exactly; they give kids these pills which does damage to their brain; andd that's supposed to be more humane than a beating of the ass??
mike_c: oxycodone
mircea_popescu: TomServo, i said it shouldn't be needed
mircea_popescu: (actually what i said iirc was that if it's needed you suck a sa parent, which ... well... yeah)
mike_c: point being if they are single digits you should be able to silence them with your warface.
danielpbarron: doesn't that warface have to come with the memory that i usually is followed by a beating?
danielpbarron: that it*
mircea_popescu: ancestral tho.
mike_c: no. my father never hit me (mom did spanking), but i was more scared of him than her.
mircea_popescu: !up Klirick
danielpbarron: my dad never hit me and i'm not afraid of him
mike_c: then his warface sucks.
danielpbarron: yeah it does
mircea_popescu: speaking of weird compounds : when i was a kid you could buy coideine phosphate otc. and people did.
ThickAsThieves: my dad did this neck pinching and hand-squeezing thing
mircea_popescu: and kids got it for coughs
ThickAsThieves: it was plenty
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: likewise in ussr
TomServo: my mom rocked a wooden spoon pretty well
danielpbarron: 10:46:55 <+mircea_popescu> me "why don't you beat it ?" him *vacant stare*
danielpbarron: you could buy coideine phosphate otc. << sippin' on sizurp
ThickAsThieves: ever have someone cup their hand over yours and press inward on your fingernails while the hand is closed?
mike_c: TomServo: did she make you get it for her? :)
ThickAsThieves: it's a little known trick
mircea_popescu: mike_c, btw, the "mom did spanking" part is extremely important for the WOMAN's mental health.
danielpbarron: they replaced the codeine with DXM
mircea_popescu: wish you to hear an ancient story ?
mike_c: stories are fun
mircea_popescu: ok so, you've probably heard of gehenna, but you probably don't know what it actually was.
danielpbarron: DXM is very trippy and is alleged to cause lesions
danielpbarron: of the brain
mircea_popescu: turns out, among the many things the ancient babylonians invented, such as the seals, and commerce,
mircea_popescu: was risk management.
mircea_popescu: a key part of this risk management was the following weird as shit aspect :
mircea_popescu: kids die, in 4000bc. unavoidably so, for a multitude or reasons.
Mats_cd03: i guess my brain has lesions
danielpbarron: mine too
mircea_popescu: parents loathe this. and more so in 4000bc than today, for today it's only imagined, whereas then it was a fact.
mircea_popescu: so the babylonians started KILLING their children.
mircea_popescu: because if you can't prevent it, the only other way to gain some control over it is to do it yourself.
mircea_popescu: the mothers had serious problems with this. the fathers did to. and yet... cold equations of power.
Mats_cd03: dumb
mircea_popescu: the fathers BOUGHT poor kids to kill instead of their own kids.
mircea_popescu: which their raised and dressed the same.
los_pantalones: what was the goal of it? illusion of control ?
danielpbarron: The Bible says, a rebellious son should be brought to the town elders and stoned to death by the community
mircea_popescu: the mothers just wept.
mircea_popescu: the religion moved to forbid women weeping,
mike_c: craziness. good to know people have always been as dumb as they are today.
mircea_popescu: \and to improve the ocntrol of this, they found a place, a natural canyon,
mircea_popescu: where they did all the killing.
asciilifeform: thought gehenna was the babypit outside old jerusalem
mircea_popescu: to prevent pestilence, they started lkeeping fires going all the time
mircea_popescu: and the place's name was... gehenna.
mircea_popescu: to cover the screams of the eviscerate dbabes and their badly hurt mothers,
mircea_popescu: they started beating drums
mircea_popescu: and out of this effort to cover screams of children and take their mother's mind off it
mircea_popescu: music was born.
mircea_popescu: and from the stupidity of the illusion of control, as los_pantalones aptly put it, the control theatre
mircea_popescu: a new religion was born.
mircea_popescu: a woman had a positive incentive to mary a christian (this is much pre jesus, btw)
asciilifeform: i thought even the archaeologically-challenged are at least familiar with the babypit of sparta, say
mircea_popescu: because that man made a firm promise prenup to never kill her children in this manner.
mircea_popescu: and so the new religion spread.
danielpbarron: a true christian would advocate the stoning to death of a rebellious son, even to this day
chetty: hmm I think most of todays xtians are new testament not old
mircea_popescu: but for that matter, the catholic contemporary instistence on "raising the children in the church" and promising to do so
mircea_popescu: talks back to quite ancient tradition. 6 millenia or more.
danielpbarron: chetty, it's all one; the whole Bible is essential
mike_c: a true father would advocate the stoning to death of a christian son.
TomServo: danielpbarron: I dunno, doing DXM and causing brain lesions sounds pretty rebellious. Would you have made it? :P
danielpbarron: TomServo, no; i should have been stoned to death
danielpbarron: stoning someone to death is against the law in the US, and the Bible says to submit to the governing authorities

danielpbarron: submit to what?

diametric: acknowledging the legitimacy of their marriage.
diametric: Well, a state if a governing authority is it not?
mircea_popescu: so if in your state it's legal, and a gay dude buys you from your parents
mircea_popescu: do you acknowledge you now have to obey him and so on ?
mircea_popescu: put out, do the dishes, w/e
diametric: i don't think he has a choice
danielpbarron: idk if it's legal to sell children
danielpbarron: the state has a monopoly on adoption
diametric: danielpbarron: the bible says it should be
mircea_popescu: lol wait he has a pore out
mircea_popescu: pretty cool.
danielpbarron: but anyway; to answer the question: yes I would honor my parents even if they are wicked (mine happen to be currently)
danielpbarron: atheists
mircea_popescu: what do they do ?
asciilifeform: to be fair, 'render unto caesar...' was written before caesar was synonymous with 'batshit'

Mats_cd03: lets change that statistic and gun some children down
diametric: danielpbarron: so your god contradicts himself?
diametric: does he do that often?
diametric: maybe the only solution is to stone yourself then.
danielpbarron: diametric, it is not a requirement of salvation to enforce the law of the old testement, but it isn't a bad idea if you can do it

mircea_popescu: My friends and I sometimes play this game, the did-our-parents-really-let-us-do-that game. We recall bike ramps, model rockets, videotaping ourselves setting toys on fire. Many remember taking off on bikes alone, playing in the woods for hours without adult supervision, crawling through storm drains to follow creek beds, latchkey afternoons, monkey bars installed over slabs of concrete. My husband recalls forts built
mircea_popescu: in the trunk of the station wagon on long road trips. I remember standing up in the back of my father’s LeBaron convertible while he cruised around the neighborhood, or spending an hour lying low on the seat of our station wagon, feet against the window, daydreaming or reading in crowded parking lots while my mother got groceries or ran other boring errands. One friend tells me how, from 7-Elevens, to Kroger, to var
mircea_popescu: ious banks, schools and offices, he was left alone in the front passenger seat of a convertible Mustang for a good portion of his childhood, primarily because he was shy and wanted to not have to meet new people. For people of our generation, living a suburban childhood, the car was central to our lives, not simply a mode of transportation but in many ways, an extension of our home.
mircea_popescu: all the many things that are STILL not dangerous today.
diametric: danielpbarron: oh so now that the old testament is hard to justify in modern times, you just throw it away? except you can't, because matthew 5:18 clearly says, from Jesus, that until heaven and earth are gone, you need to follow the law of the old testament.
mike_c: jurov: how are you trying to make it move? more volume isn't really a goal is it?
mircea_popescu: "In the months of fear and shame that followed my being charged with contributing to the delinquency of a minor, I continuously analyzed my own mind-set that day, trying to understand how I did something that both a bystander and a police officer considered criminally dangerous, and the best I could come up with was the theory that I’d been lulled by nostalgia into a false sense of security."
diametric: danielpbarron: 17"Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish but to fulfill. 18"For truly I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or stroke shall pass from the Law until all is accomplished.…
mircea_popescu: the correct conclusion being that a bystander is insane and the police officer cowardly.
diametric: danielpbarron: i think you're in a bindh ere.
diametric: I wonder what Jesus's take on Bitcoin would be.
danielpbarron: diametric, the law has not be abolished; it has been fulfilled. It is still the law, but salvation is achieved through belief, not strict enforcement
jurov: fyi, hungarian citizenship is easy, just dig out some confirmation your ancestors are from old hungary (=practically whole eastern europe)
mircea_popescu: jurov, not practically useful to muricans.
diametric: danielpbarron: its still the law, and jesus says you should follow the law, how is that not clear?
jurov: not if their grandma came from there
diametric: danielpbarron: why are you not out stoning atheists and raping their wives right now.
jurov: mike_c: yes more volume
danielpbarron: diametric, because Jesus said to submit to the government authorities, and they made stoning illegal
mike_c: lots of trading volume is not a good thing, or the goal of a market maker. goal of a market maker should be to keep the price near the intrinsic value of the asset.
jurov: *and* profit
mike_c: this being the goal of a good market maker, not a wall street huckster.
mike_c: you profit when people want to trade away from the asset's intrinsic value and you allow them to.
diametric: danielpbarron: killing gays in uganda is legal, so people slaughtering them still have a ticket to heaven?
mircea_popescu: mike_c, there's also some interest to allow people be served.

jurov: ThickAsThieves i just asked you to look to f.mpif order book and some ideas

Blazedout419: oh you believe in that crap then?
ThickAsThieves: hmm i havent paid attention to it, but i will say i think your goal is to make money while following the rules, nothing more

ThickAsThieves: or otherwise watching paint dry

mike_c: BingoBoingo watched paint dry last month. it was the right thing to do.

mike_c: clearly the additional hardware installed on your motherboard during transit is having side effects
BingoBoingo: Or perhaps the desired effects, maybe some sort of "Annoyotron" is hooked up to a JTAG port.
pankkake: I've had that, it was some electrical problem - fans spinning and nothing else happening
pankkake: had to remove stuff until I found the culprint
mike_c: what was the culprit?
mircea_popescu: and once the board is bare ?
pankkake: I don't remember wether it was a card or a hard drive
pankkake: I think I've had a hard drive block the boot, but it was even preventing the PSU from powering on
mircea_popescu: ya but see, this powers
mircea_popescu: i even tried to attach the speaker, but it makes no sound
mircea_popescu: i guess i'll have to chuck this board.
pankkake: some high end motherboards now have a status display - much easier to check for errors than beeps
mike_c: 20 year old dells have those too

BingoBoingo: "Several years ago, I came across a ranking of careers based on overall desirability. "President of the United States" was somewhere in the lower-middle of the pack, because it offers the most power and prestige, but also has the highest workplace fatality rate, terrible job security, brutal hours, and relatively low wages given what presidential-type people could earn on the open market."
fluffypony: much more helpful than POST beeps
jurov: o looky someone needs trusted hardware monkey too
pankkake: wait, is it beeeeep bip beeeeeep or beeeep beeeep beeeeep?!
mike_c: BingoBoingo: that's just the published wages though
chetty: mine did that long beep, resetting memory fixed it
mircea_popescu: it does *silence*
mike_c: that means it's the NIC.
chetty: well I had silence too, before I hooked up the speaker for that
mircea_popescu: i hooked up my speaker
mircea_popescu: silence both wsays
mircea_popescu: what do you mean it's the nic ?!
mike_c: silence = nic. beeeep bip beeep = memory. beeeeep beeeeep beeeeep = power supply
BingoBoingo: mike_c: You also have to consider the 18% workplace mortality rate...
mike_c: but it depends on the model of motherboard
mircea_popescu: mike_c, are you serious ?! who even cares if the on board lan card works ?!

jurov: BingoBoingo: today the potus was in normandy on 70th anniversary, with putin, merkel, queen elizabeth and everyone, live tv.. i thought it would be the best setup for alien strike, but sadly nothing such happened

BingoBoingo: It crashed.. I went from 24 BTC down to 10 before I even stopped hitting the "lo" key on my martingale.
BingoBoingo: My heart sunk in my chest and I felt an unexplainable/unbearable pressure in my chest.
BingoBoingo: It was at that moment I realized that I had fucked over not only my investors, but myself and my reputation.
BingoBoingo: Frantically I began betting with the 10 BTC... Trying to recoup the loses I had just endured..
Mats_cd03: Fucking loled hard
BingoBoingo: This was all in vain however, I watched my balance drop like a stone in a pond.. I remember as the balance hit zero..
BingoBoingo: My feeble attempts to recover the BTC were met with tears shortly after it sunk in what I had just done.
