BingoBoingo: "Except that yesterday Joe West, who in 2010 was ranked the 2nd worst umpire in the league, decided to expand the role of instant replay in baseball all by himself. Joe West opened the door for instant replay further than it's ever been opened. Joe West opened the door for our children to cry out that things are unfair, stomp their feet and call out for an instant replay. Sadly, he won't be there when a cute girl decides to go out
BingoBoingo: when someone else, or when you don't get the job you were more qualified for, or when you get blamed for something your brother did, or when someone butts ahead of you in line. And sadly, because Joe West chose to single-handedly change the game that taught us how to deal with a world that can sometimes be unfair, we may not have the character to deal with those situations."

kdomanski: the guy's getting technical support :D
mircea_popescu: anythig involving ties and chaining ?
kdomanski: do you have like a helpdesk for the harem?
mircea_popescu: well, there's the "help yourself" desk and the separate "helping girls memory" desk.
BingoBoingo: Why did I have no Joe West pictures here: http://www.thedrinkingrecord.com/2014/08/10/a-place-i-was-pictures/ Dude was at the fucking game and we made fun of his FUPA the whole time.

kdomanski: oh, the man issued a wrong command to his slaves
nubbins`: oh
nubbins`: that is incorrect behaviour for a master
nubbins`: perhaps the man will learn
BingoBoingo: I thought the correct default setting in case of a misunderstanding was always "build pyramid" so that in the worst case they can be located.
kdomanski: no chains though
BingoBoingo: You beat them so they don't need chains of a physical kind
mircea_popescu: lol build pyramid
nubbins`: there they are &c
BingoBoingo: It's like a beacon, but with a longer lifespan
kdomanski: WTF did you just do, giving mircea_popescu ideas
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo beating's a sport not a political tool.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I agree. This is why I despise the NFL for its current war on RunningBacks. Still, I'd bet your two best against Rice-Petersen in a monument building contest.
BingoBoingo: Pyramids have to be politically neutral by now right?
mircea_popescu: this idiotic "i can be everything including a sex therapist" dude is giving advice to virgins, which includes... cialis.
mircea_popescu: because why the fuck not right, 18 year olds are such a splendid market for erection drugs.
BingoBoingo: Keeps them occupied longer
mircea_popescu: it's so fucking wrong...
mircea_popescu: why not lipitor while at it.
mircea_popescu: "take some, see what it does for you"
BingoBoingo: Well two very different questions. the erection drugs work simply and when they are gone, there aren't many downstream effects.
mircea_popescu: orly.
BingoBoingo: Lipitor though affects pretty much everything in the Master gland
BingoBoingo: The way Lipitor fucks with cholesterol it fuck with every derivative of cholesterol including all of the fun sex hormones.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo up until the kid is in a skating accident and gets a dose of nitrate for paramedics
BingoBoingo: The erection drugs just trigger targeted vasodialation for roughly 30 seconds beyond the time they are metabolized to nothing.
mircea_popescu: to name just some random ill effect.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> BingoBoingo up until the kid is in a skating accident and gets a dose of nitrate for paramedics << What skaing accident could possibly call for nitrates?
mircea_popescu: i dunno, anything that convincingly enough mimics angina ?
mircea_popescu: like say a mechanical rib pinch of the pleura
BingoBoingo: Well, anything with bleeding would be a contrindication, which is what I think when I think skating accident...
mircea_popescu: derp boinks into something, has chest pains and shortness of breath, plsu irregular pulse
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> like say a mechanical rib pinch of the pleura << On the boner drugs that ought to be properly diagnosed as pneunothorax
BingoBoingo: A number of different kinds of irregular pulse exist.
mircea_popescu: the glyceril trinitrate is coming out "just to be sure"
mircea_popescu: overmedicated civilisation if there ever was one
BingoBoingo: Or epinephrine. Depending on the kind.
mircea_popescu: yeah but we're not talking of the ones that survive here :p
BingoBoingo: Hey, Hunter S Thompson had to finish MKULTRA's work himself...
mircea_popescu: and regardless this you know, possible avenue. it's just a dumb fucking idea
mircea_popescu: what virgin teenager has legitimate erection problems for crying out loud.
BingoBoingo: Ah, If you are talking American, the word legitmate has been ejected long ago.
BingoBoingo: There may be teenagers with erection problems though in the sense that they can't get off with a girl, because they are too conditioned to the habits of their own hand.
mircea_popescu: and how about you know, a bit of priapism for that matter.
mircea_popescu: inept dosage results in damagingly enduring erections even in old men.

mike_c: well i am rooting for bitbet. tired of building tools that are obsolete a few months after i ship them.
TheNewDeal: would love to see them develop a separate set of betting system for price bets and difficulty
mike_c: what would you change?
TheNewDeal: the weight
mike_c: you can make bets with different weight. i used to make sports bets that ended at 90,000
TheNewDeal: well if you look at the bet I just pasted, the diff 20% increase one
TheNewDeal: it would be nice if the weight dropped to near zero almost every 2016 blocks
TheNewDeal: In the event that this bet turns out yes early, it will get murdered by yes
TheNewDeal: because 2000 blocks into each change, it's very easy to answer the question "will the current change be 20% or less?"

TheNewDeal: theres no timestamps displayed?
mike_c: there's weight :)
mike_c: i could put timestamps, seemed redundant.
TheNewDeal: but how many days difference was there between say weight 99994 and weight 56297
TheNewDeal: it's important
mike_c: about 5 weeks
TheNewDeal: especially when one considers their return/day or return annualized
mike_c: well, if you are focused on return/day you should only bet on things that are going to close early.
TheNewDeal: well, risk has a part to play in it
TheNewDeal: for instance, I once bet on a "price will drop below 400 before X"
TheNewDeal: price dropped to exactly 400
TheNewDeal: no lower
mike_c: it's a tough way to make an easy living
TheNewDeal: but with difficulty you get much more data to look at
TheNewDeal: if I wait 2010 blocks into a 2016 block change, my certainty becomes much much greater
TheNewDeal: the risk becomes almost nada

mircea_popescu: TheNewDeal in principle one could propose and seed bets for each retarget
TheNewDeal: I've done the short term targets, and they're both risky and fun
TheNewDeal: but it becomes very difficult to pick a day in which to end the weighting at
mircea_popescu: mike_c actually about 20ish btc a day is the secular average for bitbet. 50 or so over 3 days is about avg neh ?
mircea_popescu: TheNewDeal you can specify them by block height and have a reasonable but outside resolve date
TheNewDeal: I'm not saying it's impossible, but specifying the date is about as difficult as weighting the probabilty of the event occuring in the first place
