(trilema) nubbins`: gox will have a daily volume of xyz in LTC by the end of 2013
(trilema) nubbins`: add something about volume to the wording
(trilema) nubbins`: Luke-Jr: i figured ;(
(trilema) nubbins`: and except after all those other instances
(trilema) nubbins`: I before E except after C
(trilema) nubbins`: Luke-Jr: it's not even a word
(trilema) nubbins`: always the voice of reason
(trilema) nubbins`: Luke-Jr: calling names isn't nice
(trilema) nubbins`: name calling isn't nice
(trilema) nubbins`: people already stay away from bitbet
(trilema) nubbins`: it's an awareness campaign to stay away from anything you're involved in
(trilema) nubbins`: fraud! lel
(trilema) nubbins`: i thought you had to run
(trilema) nubbins`: any issues, get some tissues
(trilema) nubbins`: the bet was delivered upon, full stop
(trilema) nubbins`: the word "substantially" doesn't even belong there
(trilema) nubbins`: i agree there, substantially != absolutely
(trilema) nubbins`: you'll never admit it, but you are
(trilema) nubbins`: you're just being fussy
(trilema) nubbins`: no, everyone is following logic
(trilema) nubbins`: i'm ok with this
(trilema) nubbins`: mircea_popescu: and so forever, nobody will weep for those who lost
(trilema) nubbins`: if you lost money because you bet on a poorly worded bet, well, nobody feels sorry for you
(trilema) nubbins`: really poorly worded bet was the root of all this trouble
(trilema) nubbins`: that's what i'm saying
(trilema) nubbins`: no, you weren't
(trilema) nubbins`: you didn't get robbed, you misjudged their ability to deliver a certain GH/s for a certain W
(trilema) nubbins`: well, it's relevant in that they delivered on all specs that were in the bet
(trilema) nubbins`: whoever made the bet should have been more specific, i guess
(trilema) nubbins`: it only mentions performance, which was delivered upon
(trilema) nubbins`: you make a convincing argument, but the bet doesn't mention anything about the components included
(trilema) nubbins`: if they want to include a free baseball card, well, each unit comes with a baseball card
(trilema) nubbins`: anyway, a "unit" is obviously whatever they're selling as "a unit"
(trilema) nubbins`: pretty deep pockets for ~11BTC in losing bets
(trilema) nubbins`: talk about a wasted life
(trilema) nubbins`: mircea_popescu: i can get paid to do this??!?!
(trilema) nubbins`: sometimes "units" have more than one item
(trilema) nubbins`: the unit consisted of a tub and a tub surround
(trilema) nubbins`: i renovated my bathroom last month, and i purchased a new shower unit
(trilema) nubbins`: lel @ fractal sobbing over a free upgrade
(trilema) nubbins`: i thought you had a valid beef, but you're just squabbling over semantics because you lost money
(trilema) nubbins`: yeah, you keep saying the word unit
(trilema) nubbins`: it just states an amount of coffee
(trilema) nubbins`: but the bet doesn't say "in your cup"
(trilema) nubbins`: when you get a big mac combo, is it not a meal because it's not all smashed together?
(trilema) nubbins`: quote the part where it says that
(trilema) nubbins`: no it doesn't
(trilema) nubbins`: cry me a river
(trilema) nubbins`: or are we just flapping our gums at each other
(trilema) nubbins`: so what's the big fucking problem?
(trilema) nubbins`: okay, so everyone seems to have gone silent, which i guess means that people who ordered "400 gigahash mining units" received 400GH/s+ at <= 400W
(trilema) nubbins`: well, refurbs aren't relevant to this bet, although that'd be great news for the owners
(trilema) nubbins`: any arguments to the contrary?
(trilema) nubbins`: can i just get a clear answer on one thing: are people who ordered the "400 gigahash mining unit" receiving 400GH/s+ at 400W, regardless of the form it takes?
(trilema) nubbins`: Luke-Jr: there seems to be a lot of confusion around that point
(trilema) nubbins`: mircea_popescu: i'm greedy, i don't return free things
(trilema) nubbins`: i mean, the bet says the macbook must have 2 screens, and see? two screens
(trilema) nubbins`: and therefore can call the macbook+phone combo "a macbook"
(trilema) nubbins`: i own both
(trilema) nubbins`: who cares that they were sold as discrete units
(trilema) nubbins`: because hey
(trilema) nubbins`: I'm gonna introduce a bet that Apple makes a dual-screen laptop in 2013, and then i'm going to order a macbook and an iPhone, and claim that when they both show up, it's a dual-screen laptop
(trilema) nubbins`: mircea_popescu: the whole thing is ridiculous
(trilema) nubbins`: fractal: math degree
(trilema) nubbins`: mircea_popescu: well, what do you suppose was on the shipping waybill? one item or two?
(trilema) nubbins`: see, if the manufacturer had taped both units inside a shoebox, he could get away with calling two separate units a single unit. but he didn't. the guy who received the units said "here are my two units", and then just pretended that the two separate units were in fact collectively the smaller unit
(trilema) nubbins`: Luke-Jr: all have authority to interpret. few have authority to pass judgment
(trilema) nubbins`: obviously 2 separate units
(trilema) nubbins`: this guy MXRider even says: "Some info and pictures of my units: 400GH unit and 25GH unit."
(trilema) nubbins`: then i've obviously not delivered on your absolute
(trilema) nubbins`: however, if you request 500ml of coffee at 90C, and I bring 437ml of coffee at 45C...
(trilema) nubbins`: yes, so any cup of coffee, no matter how vague, will do
(trilema) nubbins`: yes, as you didn't state how full the cup should be
(trilema) nubbins`: suppose it's a cup of piss
(trilema) nubbins`: mircea_popescu: suppose i bring you a bowl of coffee instead?
(trilema) nubbins`: i would say you press enter too frequently
(trilema) nubbins`: to be fair, i only started learning english as an infant, but i'm pretty sure the word "must" is an absolute
(trilema) nubbins`: they "substantially delivered" on the word "must"?
(trilema) nubbins`: i'm mildly surprised you guys can't come to an agreement on this between yourselves
(trilema) nubbins`: oh, so the guy who got 500GH/s and 267W actually ordered and received a 400GH unit and a 25GH unit, and then just pretended they were collectively a 400GH/s unit?
(trilema) nubbins`: Luke-Jr: did 5 "Respected members" get them, like the bet says?
(trilema) nubbins`: put it in a larger case, it's a "unit". you're being pedantic
(trilema) nubbins`: If not everyone receives a 400 plus a 25, then you can't call the 400+25 a "unit"
(trilema) nubbins`: okay, well, i see ~500GH/s and ~267W. As long as EVERYONE who ordered the "400 gigahash mining unit" receives a 400 and a 25, the bet is an obvious YES. If not everyone receives a 400 and a 25, the bet is an obvious NO.
(trilema) nubbins`: Luke-Jr: so they essentially attached 2 boards together, but it's still 400GH/s+ and <= 400W? And everyone who ordered one of these "400 gigahash mining units" is receiving one of these 2-boards-taped-together devices?
(trilema) nubbins`: Luke-Jr: link to specs? 400GH/s+ at <= 400W?
(trilema) nubbins`: "Devices must meet advertised performance" is pretty cut and dry, too. We all know what "MUST" means.
(trilema) nubbins`: for that matter, if the unit only hashes at 365GH/s, then the "400 gigahash mining units" haven't even been delivered
(trilema) nubbins`: well, after a cursory, glance, it would seem that the outcome of that bet is an obvious no. 365 < 400.
(trilema) nubbins`: nm, found it
(trilema) nubbins`: uh, bitbet
(trilema) nubbins`: and where's the bitnet?
(trilema) nubbins`: no, the cane was for the corporal
(trilema) nubbins`: that's a cane
(trilema) nubbins`: sexual privates!!!
(trilema) nubbins`: ;;ud dick surgery
(trilema) nubbins`: waitaminute
(trilema) nubbins`: ;;ud dick surgery
(trilema) nubbins`: i guess real words aren't urban enough to be included
(trilema) nubbins`: oh, gotcha
(trilema) nubbins`: ;;ud thaumaturgy
(trilema) nubbins`: Truth's A Tautology
(trilema) nubbins`: you releasing any more XBOND in the near future?
(trilema) nubbins`: Tits and Tass
(trilema) nubbins`: TAT's A Trader
(trilema) nubbins`: and invent a new acronym every time someone asks you
(trilema) nubbins`: just make it TAT
(trilema) nubbins`: Popă (pope, parson) + -esc (-esque). "Popesque".
(trilema) nubbins`: so, y'know, a kingly king
(trilema) nubbins`: from Latin regalis "of a king, kingly, royal, regal,"
(trilema) nubbins`: here in canadia, we call $20 worth of drugs 'a queen'
(trilema) nubbins`: Mir-cha? Who knew
(trilema) nubbins`: but then i realized that i was probably just making things worse :P
(trilema) nubbins`: for a while, when it got too bothersome, i would push a 150w bass amp against the wall and turn on a drum machine
(trilema) nubbins`: so i get to hear her all day
(trilema) nubbins`: unfortunately, we share a wall
(trilema) nubbins`: now she mutters angrily whenever she passes by :(
(trilema) nubbins`: next day she kicked my house and i went outside and freaked out at her
(trilema) nubbins`: naturally, i replied with the same
(trilema) nubbins`: when she said FUCK YOU as she walked to the store
(trilema) nubbins`: her first words to me were about 3 months ago
(trilema) nubbins`: i think she has me confused with a guy who used to live here
(trilema) nubbins`: no, she literally hates me
(trilema) nubbins`: mildly surprised that there's only a $30 difference between anal and "everything"
(trilema) nubbins`: "everything: $230"
(trilema) nubbins`: "anale: $200"
(trilema) nubbins`: last year, she was putting hand-written business cards under people's windshield wipers in the liquor store parking lot
(trilema) nubbins`: hahaha 0 times, she hates me
(trilema) nubbins`: so i see some pretty sketchy-looking fellas come and go
(trilema) nubbins`: obvious answers is "the kind of man who gets turned down by normal hookers"
(trilema) nubbins`: obvious question is "who the fuck would sleep with her"
(trilema) nubbins`: she's also a hooker and an alcoholic
(trilema) nubbins`: yeah, sucks
(trilema) nubbins`: she's switching right now between her demon voice and sobbing whimpers
(trilema) nubbins`: only some of them use words
(trilema) nubbins`: from what i can tell, yes
(trilema) nubbins`: and she's FREAKING out right now
(trilema) nubbins`: my neighbour has tourette's syndrome and MPD
(trilema) nubbins`: I'm gonna try to get eulora running on osx
(trilema) nubbins`: Duffer1: that's what i assumed
(trilema) nubbins`: topace: we = ??
(trilema) nubbins`: i feel like i'm missing a small but crucial piece of this conversation
(trilema) nubbins`: you technically can't count zero things, either
(trilema) nubbins`: i mean, i don't think the whales who bought the 150k ipo shares are going to sell
(trilema) nubbins`: i kinda doubt it, at this point
(trilema) nubbins`: we're pleased to announce that our ipo didn't sell out
(trilema) nubbins`: (pleased to announce!)
(trilema) nubbins`: have showed their support for our venture.
(trilema) nubbins`: CRYPTO FINANCIAL (CFIG) is pleased to announce that our public offering of our Virtual Shares will close on Friday August 23rd, 2013 AT 12:00 P.M EST. Live trading of our shares will commence immediately once the IPO has closed. Any remaining shares will be placed for sale in the open market at the original IPO price. We appreciate the countless people and organizations that have reached out to us
(trilema) nubbins`: hm. i trashed the email that mentioned the start time tomorrow
(trilema) nubbins`: but there's less than 50k left now, after those couple of huge buys
(trilema) nubbins`: i think the original plan was 200k shares, in four tranches of 50k
(trilema) nubbins`: tomorrow noon, i think?
(trilema) nubbins`: somebody bought 100k shares today, too
(trilema) nubbins`: they announced earlier today that they're gonna cut the IPO short and start selling shares on the market tomorrow
(trilema) nubbins`: yeah, a while back
(trilema) nubbins`: CFIG's ipo is getting more curious by the day
(trilema) nubbins`: hm. well, YOU told them, they just didn't listen
(trilema) nubbins`: but nobody told that to the people buying at 1.14
(trilema) nubbins`: why did i sell all my XBOND at 1.05 par?
(trilema) nubbins`: if you're panicking over sub-3 shares, you bought too late :P
(trilema) nubbins`: call me when the share price halves
(trilema) nubbins`: and then i'd just scoop up wheelbarrows full of shares from the exchanges
(trilema) nubbins`: y'know, if i had 1000 AM shares, i'd set up a lowball auction where bidders have to PM me
(trilema) nubbins`: yeah, the ipo thread is bizarre
(trilema) nubbins`: Duffer1: good one!
(trilema) nubbins`: "The next logical question is: Do the owners (non BTC shareholders) derive their profit from more revenue streams than the 20% BTC shareholders?"
(trilema) nubbins`: isn't it already illegal in the usa to export encryption software to certain countries?
(trilema) nubbins`: makes the whole situation more odd
(trilema) nubbins`: yeah, fair enough
(trilema) nubbins`: you ever change an oil filter?
(trilema) nubbins`: well, different people have different aptitudes
(trilema) nubbins`: they should rename the article from "Forced exposure" to "Seriously, I'm obviously very intelligent, but I can't figure out GPG"
(trilema) nubbins`: not sure why they posted that instead of a public key
(trilema) nubbins`: have you ever been to those places?
(trilema) nubbins`: didn't they interview karla homolka?
(trilema) nubbins`: leave it to RDI
(trilema) nubbins`: yes, that was a reasonable interview
(trilema) nubbins`: i paid a team of grad students to do mine by hand
(trilema) nubbins`: so what's everybody's general level of security? raise your hand if you generated your PGP keys on an offline computer
(trilema) nubbins`: BTC for UTC
(trilema) nubbins`: "so go to youtube, and google 'bitcoin', and learn all about it"
(trilema) nubbins`: hahah yeah
(trilema) nubbins`: all just talking heads
(trilema) nubbins`: plastic face lady was about what i expected
(trilema) nubbins`: coming from a place where fox news doesn't exist, i'm mildly surprised at the lucidity of that statement
(trilema) nubbins`: "if you don't know anything about it, look it up"
(trilema) nubbins`: make it illegal!
(trilema) nubbins`: woot! 2011 casascius w/ error arrived in the mail today
(trilema) nubbins`: with just a tiny footnote wondering why NSA was reporting on tech news in the first place
(trilema) nubbins`: rest is history
(trilema) nubbins`: gets typo'd to "bomb iraq"
(trilema) nubbins`: NSA issues a press release that was supposed to say "ipaq bombs" after its dismal sales
(trilema) nubbins`: typos! remember when compaq had that little device called the ipaq?
(trilema) nubbins`: right. so, if it's an actual human saying "ok this site gets the red warning, this one doesn't", that's a bit more precarious than an algorithm doing it
(trilema) nubbins`: like, hasn't the issue of search rankings been brought before courts in the past?
(trilema) nubbins`: guess it depends on how automated it is
(trilema) nubbins`: would you haul them into court over a headline they reposted on google news?
(trilema) nubbins`: well, curating to an extent
(trilema) nubbins`: this water could be used to drown an infant. are you sure you still want to drink it?
(trilema) nubbins`: and then humanity devolves into a sludge of "may"s and "could"s
(trilema) nubbins`: "this restaurant may try to overcharge you"
(trilema) nubbins`: it's like a jeopardy category
(trilema) nubbins`: warnings that offend
(trilema) nubbins`: sorry, i go on tangents sometimes
(trilema) nubbins`: "Don't feed the animals, they may bite? Fuck 'em, we're eating polar bear cub for dinner"
(trilema) nubbins`: I mean, who's to say otherwise?
(trilema) nubbins`: "The owner of this site may be a rapist"
(trilema) nubbins`: "may be" is a pretty open-ended statement
(trilema) nubbins`: they've so far sold… 3,411 shares
(trilema) nubbins`: they were planning to release 4 tranches of 50000 shares
(trilema) nubbins`: 100 is 15 BTC
(trilema) nubbins`: 100 is nothing
(trilema) nubbins`: they sold like 100 since Wednesday!
(trilema) nubbins`: those CFIG shares are still flying off the shelves
