(trilema) mike_c: no. 1) pick a girl. 2) she picks the date

(trilema) mike_c: "i'm too drunk to list irish problems"
(trilema) mike_c: wait, was that a meta-insult?

(trilema) mike_c: jurov is a big fan. unless i dreamt all this.
(trilema) mike_c: da fuck am i thinking of? mycelium, etherwhoizt. what the fuck is that node-less wallet thingy?

(trilema) mike_c: now is actually the time to go. it actually only rains nine months a year. summers are beautiful.
(trilema) mike_c: and seattle just drizzles at you every day of the year.
(trilema) mike_c: because it generally means inches of rain, not days of rain
(trilema) mike_c: that is a common and misleading yardstick

(trilema) mike_c: yeah, not a problem for me
(trilema) mike_c: cazalla: m50s is cheaper too, just b/c it isn't 'current year model'. sound is supposed to be the same.

(trilema) mike_c: i find the same with electronic music. di.fm ftw.
(trilema) mike_c: i like working in an office. fewer distractions.

(trilema) mike_c: yeah.. sennheiser doesn't have velvet.
(trilema) mike_c: decisions..
(trilema) mike_c: right, phone can only deliver so much though. but probably enough for either.

(trilema) mike_c: could matter for phone?
(trilema) mike_c: yeah. won't matter for computer.
(trilema) mike_c: hm. ath has lower impedance.

(trilema) mike_c: nice. congrats.
(trilema) mike_c: results TBD
(trilema) mike_c: this doesn't work quite as well with companies. Lyft is testing this in NYC by blatantly ignoring all their regulations and fighting the state in court.
(trilema) mike_c: idk.. ever since 9/11 the goverment just regulates whatever the fuck it wants.
(trilema) mike_c: no way. ben lawsky is going to make america the center of btc bizness

(trilema) mike_c: my sony mdr's ear pad rubber lasted about 5 years on average
(trilema) mike_c: fucking amazon needs to take btc already. i bought some fiverr shit the other day with btc and it was so smooth. kind of changed my opinion on using btc for random purchases.
(trilema) mike_c: definitely need comfort for hours.
(trilema) mike_c: now rats to attack office neighbors.. that would be an idea.
(trilema) mike_c: lol, what?
(trilema) mike_c: cool. thanks for the suggestions.
(trilema) mike_c: that just personal preference? my dead ones had coiled and i kinda did like that.
(trilema) mike_c: cazalla: ath m50?
(trilema) mike_c: are those buds? i'm looking more for over-ear.
(trilema) mike_c: i mean, i don't need cancelling. i don't want to hear surrounding noise.
(trilema) mike_c: although i agree with the office. my office neighbors annoy me often enough.
(trilema) mike_c: or for sleeping babies.
(trilema) mike_c: not so good for the office.
(trilema) mike_c: any audiophiles around here? my headphones of 15 years finally bit the dust.
(trilema) mike_c: china declared bitcoin illegal
(trilema) mike_c: median, mean, whatever.
(trilema) mike_c: anybody can write a 10,000 line perl script. it's making it a 100 line script that's hard.
(trilema) mike_c: yeah, loud criticism from an irrelevant source accidentally boosts awareness of its target.
(trilema) mike_c: in the sense that there is no such thing as bad publicity
(trilema) mike_c: i can't think of anyone else. you're right, 1% is good.
(trilema) mike_c: stephen hawking is worth reading.
(trilema) mike_c: percentage should perhaps be a smidge higher for an engineer, but i like it as a rule of thumb.
(trilema) mike_c: empirical evidence only. what people tell me they are reading.
(trilema) mike_c: 99.9% of the books that get read provide no more intellectual stimulation than an episode of family guy.
(trilema) mike_c: this feels the same as "bitbet is a scam" flamewars: "[FCC levies huge fine on Stern] Clear Channel responded by dropping The Howard Stern Show permanently on its six stations. Stern's audience increased by 23% in Chicago and 22% in New York, and he regained the morning top spot in Los Angeles amongst listeners aged 25-54 for the first time since 1995."
(trilema) mike_c: hanbot: The betting closes ~20 blocks early because otherwise the very end game presents situations that I think are non-healthy. same kind of reasons for bitbet closing bets early. the last open year is 979 because the last paid bomb goes off on year 980.
(trilema) mike_c: fluffypony is in SA.
(trilema) mike_c: omg. more than one word per line please.
(trilema) mike_c: sickly canadian?
(trilema) mike_c: HAHAH. (loud american)
(trilema) mike_c: for a donkey?
(trilema) mike_c: wtf is that monstrosity. looks like a loom
(trilema) mike_c: !up gabriel_laddel you should get in the wot
(trilema) mike_c: ;;view 20297
(trilema) mike_c: well, he either sold or gave up
(trilema) mike_c: ;;view pankkake
(trilema) mike_c: moiety: lol, i'll start a petition
(trilema) mike_c: pankkake has sold a few i believe
(trilema) mike_c: we can't all be perfect
(trilema) mike_c: princessnell: that video is hilarious
(trilema) mike_c: BingoBoingo: blinking arrows would be better :)
(trilema) mike_c: btw, jurov, that mid-line on the history chart what you had in mind?
(trilema) mike_c: oh, my strategy? no, just the house has been on the losing side the last couple games.
(trilema) mike_c: BingoBoingo: yeah, i kind of like that.
(trilema) mike_c: recommended strategy: which ever way the house is leaning on the pre-game bets, go the other way.
(trilema) mike_c: i notice death sniped the last paid bomb :)
(trilema) mike_c: ^ now w/ delta
(trilema) mike_c: !satoshidice
(trilema) mike_c: mircea_popescu: we can certainly backfill with trilema.
(trilema) mike_c: if we can't come up with at least a dozen posts they might find interesting, then we've got other problems.
(trilema) mike_c: ok - compile a list of 20 blog posts from blogs.b-a that are appropriate to target. tweet one a day @ target.
(trilema) mike_c: is szabo in wot?
(trilema) mike_c: szabo invented bitcoin, right? we have all the bitcoin. that's got to be interesting.
(trilema) mike_c: so back to ad copy. "#bitcoin-assets - the richest IRC channel on freenode"
(trilema) mike_c: if we are going in cold, we need ad copy.
(trilema) mike_c: you are talking in circles :) "trusted recommendation" is not a video from camgirl.
(trilema) mike_c: you didn't stop using your blog.
(trilema) mike_c: that's easy. tweet @ szabo every day til he clicks.
(trilema) mike_c: that is the other method: repetition.
(trilema) mike_c: right, we need ad copy. ad copy for mp: "we auth with pgp"
(trilema) mike_c: naked women are only good for getting someone to listen to the message, they aren't going to attract them on their own.
(trilema) mike_c: ok, so there needs to be a hook. mp's was gribble. what would hook szabo?
(trilema) mike_c: well then why does orlov end up in that corner?
(trilema) mike_c: because you were knew of, and were interested in learning more about bitcoin. orlov knows and is not interested.
(trilema) mike_c: but why were you there
(trilema) mike_c: so you weren't ready for b-a
(trilema) mike_c: so the message should be "this is the smart bitcoin place"
(trilema) mike_c: if they are not interested in bitcoin it is a non-starter (orlov).
(trilema) mike_c: buffett is the king of omaha, he can't be lost.
(trilema) mike_c: sorry, thought it was on bccoinnews. it was justusranvier. http://bitcoinism.liberty.me/2014/07/08/re-enhanced-due-diligence/
(trilema) mike_c: i guess there never has been a scalable way.
(trilema) mike_c: i don't know any way that scales well these days. jborkl's post was unsettling.
(trilema) mike_c: i'm not a big fanboy of coinbase, but i don't see how they could do it better.
(trilema) mike_c: so it's an anti-scam. if the price had gone up he could have complained and gotten the better price.
(trilema) mike_c: because that solves all scam problems :) (see gox, bitstamp, every other exchange)
(trilema) mike_c: you mean, be an exchange. they aren't an exchange.
(trilema) mike_c: you can appeal a cancelled tx
(trilema) mike_c: they do have a clearing process.
(trilema) mike_c: easy to scammer tag them, but how do you tell the difference between honest mistake and scam?
(trilema) mike_c: but this has some truth, no? they do have to prevent fraud, and no matter what they will accidentally flag legitimate txs.
(trilema) mike_c: (gov't rule)
(trilema) mike_c: one rule is you don't need the mouse to do anything
(trilema) mike_c: need zocchi dice
(trilema) mike_c: i liked their mining calculator tool. never read the articles.
(trilema) mike_c: " he sold Satoshi Poker for a plane ticket home from Thailand" yeah, that's what i thought.
(trilema) mike_c: what did that sell for? single-digit btc right?
(trilema) mike_c: assbot seems to have this figure out these days
(trilema) mike_c: !down ThickAsThieves
(trilema) mike_c: nice. ok, we're even.
(trilema) mike_c: hah. nah, i don't do biotech. i prefer revenue-generating activities as opposed to funding R&D.
(trilema) mike_c: !up ThickAsThieves
(trilema) mike_c: benkay: nice pic. is that the last fed meeting?
(trilema) mike_c: (that last was a troll ;) )
(trilema) mike_c: well then stop sticking up for the fed!
(trilema) mike_c: right, no. *afaik.
(trilema) mike_c: that won't cool biotech, it cools everything. they have no sector-by-sector levers.
(trilema) mike_c: not like fannie mae is funding them.
(trilema) mike_c: and the central bank will do what about "overheated biotech"
(trilema) mike_c: this is retarded on its face.
(trilema) mike_c: i didn't realize they were handing out stock picks.
(trilema) mike_c: who put the fed in charge of valuing biotech firms?
(trilema) mike_c: lol. ok, first time for everything i guess.
(trilema) mike_c: i think your neighbor is just a cross-dresser. introverted drag queen is oxymoron.
(trilema) mike_c: they opened in buenos aires in 2007. they really are everywhere.
(trilema) mike_c: 26 countries, i guess it is.
(trilema) mike_c: KO has growth though (internationally). is wal-mart growing outside US?
(trilema) mike_c: B/H does outright own a lot of retailers, but walmart feels different.
(trilema) mike_c: i don't know. I guess I didn't feel like it fit the rest of his portfolio.
(trilema) mike_c: random fact that surprised me: warren owns 2% of walmart.
(trilema) mike_c: ;;calc 3500*[ticker --last]
(trilema) mike_c: wtb: s.mpoe @ 0.0005
(trilema) mike_c: mpex-otc. wadda you want.
(trilema) mike_c: kakobrekla: wtf :) no wasd keys?
(trilema) mike_c: i only use those for bringing to datacenter
(trilema) mike_c: BingoBoingo: you mean the little rubber dot in the middle? you use that thing?
(trilema) mike_c: interesting. i've never tried the split and flat ones
(trilema) mike_c: i haven't seen it, which is why i don't own one.
(trilema) mike_c: BingoBoingo: you lost me :)
(trilema) mike_c: i like the split and raised ones
(trilema) mike_c: drives me nuts
(trilema) mike_c: i can't do non-ergonomic
(trilema) mike_c: blank keys.. so l33t
(trilema) mike_c: i tried the http://www.daskeyboard.com/model-s-ultimate/ that my coworker was using.
(trilema) mike_c: kakobrekla: yes. "Cherry MX mechanical key switches with gold contacts"
(trilema) mike_c: they use mechanical switches. not sure what mx means
(trilema) mike_c: kakobrekla: i have heard that the das mechanical keyboards are the modern version of the m, and they have a silent version. i tried one for a few minutes once and liked it. but not ergonomic.
(trilema) mike_c: one of its charms for sure
(trilema) mike_c: keyboards should be able to take a good beating. otherwise they are by (my) definition not fit for professionals.
(trilema) mike_c: didn't you lose the one because you were stoned?
(trilema) mike_c: it's not a cameo if you're not famous
(trilema) mike_c: what do i win
(trilema) mike_c: mp also has a theory that listing prevents competition because they can just invest in you instead of building a copy.
(trilema) mike_c: and direct opera bugs to /dev/null (just kidding kako)
(trilema) mike_c: ;;later tell punkman you can lose your money faster now. minigames have websockets.
(trilema) mike_c: so plz find the bugs.
(trilema) mike_c: ok testers, WoL just shipped websockets for the minigames.
(trilema) mike_c: why does bitcoin price go up? "adoption" seems a poor answer to me. to me it is because the value of the whole system actually increases. perhaps part of that value increase is due to having a more vibrant financial ecosystem.
(trilema) mike_c: you are making me answer for him, which i am not qualified to do. but I would guess two things. 1) yes 2) mayhaps some people benefit from advancing the ecosystem.
(trilema) mike_c: that is one answer. another might have to do with mp's desire to build an ecosystem. but i'll leave that answer to him.
(trilema) mike_c: an0 = asset non-zero
(trilema) mike_c: and you mean zac
(trilema) mike_c: liquidity for the owners is a big reason
