Mallstromm: davout: I know and I agree. If you have the money, you can move it. That's how it works and how banks make their money.
BingoBoingo: davout: Is there a good way to get fucktons of USD into yout exchange?
Mallstromm: And if you have them, you just increase those limits depending on your volume
davout: you know, not for all the days wire
Mallstromm: I agree. There's no way you have such limits.
davout: Mallstromm: i think that the limit is bullshit
Mallstromm: davout: that would (partially) explain the absurd 100k x day limit on outgoing transactions?
davout: because they'll be found to have covered it all up
ThickAsThieves: will you pay a 10% premium on market price for the LTCs?
ThickAsThieves: i figured you were the most convenient victim
ThickAsThieves: yknow they have exchanges for hat

mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves you know the "first they came for the tits, but i said nothing because i wasn't a tit, then they came for the cunt, but i said nothing for i wasn;'t a cunt, now i got nowhere to jack off" thing ?
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Well it was that shot period between GLBSE's death and the emergence of the lessers.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo yeah, i remember. those were the days when investors didn't lose btc weekly.
ThickAsThieves: i found it, i just cant suss the context
BingoBoingo: Those days were the best lols
ThickAsThieves: it means Havelock is running the listed things I will used to have run
nicknode: well since my confusion runs pretty thick with regards to the involved entities, i dont get what it means
mircea_popescu: "First they came for the lawyers, and I didn't say anything because I am not a lawyer. Now everything is awesome."
nicknode: well yeah. anyway, care to enlighten me as to the latest developments?
nicknode: anyway, i kind of thought you were the guy operating havelock. apparently not. but what does the latest news mean?
mircea_popescu: <nicknode> ThickAsThieves: what is the relationship between you and havelock? i was under the impression you were more or less the same entity, but apparently not? <<< see ? this is what you did. now pay for it.
ThickAsThieves: nicknode, why would you think we're all the same thing?
ThickAsThieves: that doesnt even work in the abstract
nicknode: ThickAsThieves: what is the relationship between you and havelock? i was under the impression you were more or less the same entity, but apparently not? trying to understand the TaT,havelock,asicminer thinigie posted about in the last day
MisterE: like craps I guess you try to catch the streaks
BingoBoingo: MisterE: I can sell you instability for the right price.
MisterE: lol I like the swings
mircea_popescu: the text thing is for confort tho.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: You let the color blind thing out a while ago but the half inch text very recently. We needed to force the answer.
mircea_popescu: someone should make a line of business go-go suits and shear body stockings for women in the boardroom
ThickAsThieves: the world conspires with you
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves if i were the [ex] yahoo ceo i'd show up for work in a black and white apron
mircea_popescu: nicknode in general the average male would prefer to not get laid and be bossed around than to get laid and have to boss the women around.
ThickAsThieves: why these make too much sense?
ThickAsThieves: ancestry.com then?
BingoBoingo: ThickAsThieves: Facebook wanted the people who couldn't afford facebook
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves maybe they planned to use it for more than a year.
BingoBoingo: Also, "Roger" was a shakespeare era term necessitated by the mere decades of seamanship the english would have to pass the dutch by at that time.
BingoBoingo: A true Ver. There is a population in the US that has an 18 to 36 month window to hedge their existence.
ThickAsThieves: wife: "Facebook bought WhatsApp for $19b? Suckers, they could've downloaded it for free."
BingoBoingo: I have no use for the red flag and denial of quarter from reality.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Even Pirates had their black flags which were the sign they were willing to offer quarter.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: The footnote I point at fiat olds and BTC newbs
mircea_popescu: nicknode yeah they were bought out by facebook
ThickAsThieves: "See if you catch one in the mouth!"
BingoBoingo: JPM has exactly one way to rebrand http://www.thedrinkingrecord.com/2014/01/23/a-wow-comment-analysis-fest/#fn4-586
mircea_popescu: they're gonna be PopCorn
ThickAsThieves: as in it's more costly for Google to have one more idiot in the ranks than not
ThickAsThieves: "Two separate sources have told me that's how much Google (GOOG) offered to purchase WhatsApp. The bid did not come with promise of a board seat, unlike the Facebook agreement."
BingoBoingo: 11 Months ago I was the only person willing to bet 1 BTC agaisnt Micon on NCAA tournament brackets
BingoBoingo: The thing I lost to last night could not have been a human player though.
ThickAsThieves: any property worth scooping up in the ashes?
mircea_popescu: is poker dead generally or they just stoopid ?
BingoBoingo: They (Micon) rightly called BFL out as a scam
ThickAsThieves: at least they didnt buy twitter or whatever
ThickAsThieves: they just failed quickly
ThickAsThieves: except they didnt skip social at all
mircea_popescu: "Google may have missed skipped social, but theyre bringing together a lot of highly talented teams that are working on:"
mircea_popescu: i think your average guy would rather have been caught in bed with a small boy than with her.
mircea_popescu: which was the lol for a month.
KRS-One: BingoBoingo: oh..well then.
BingoBoingo: I had fun fucking mildly retarded (in my estimation) girl who was the a star forward on the HS soccer team.
KRS-One: for being one of those nerdy fat kids who wears black all the time, thinks he is a genius and believes he is better than everyone else?
Bugpowder: That was a happier time for Tux... The pie had not been eaten
mircea_popescu: Bugpowder you got your timeline mixed up there.
davout: the music
BingoBoingo: Like. DOD regulations are the only pseudo obstacle kind of success.
ThickAsThieves: they are building ed-209 i guess
mircea_popescu: google has probably the world's best buyouts department.
ozbot: Google’s Buying All the Robots… | DataFox
ThickAsThieves: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FuZudZFmRgw&list=UUAAgMYqyzm_kT2tgI3HPE2A&feature=c4-overview Mark's cat is named Tibane, like the gox co
BingoBoingo: Fuck that map. Drunk chicago is a negative. Shit should be carried to Ohio and dumped in the shit river.
BingoBoingo: Micon though lacks the trust I offered him a year ago.
KRS-One: There have been times irl I wish I had that config file.
mircea_popescu: davout no. you get a track id in all executed orders. if it matches the hash of an order of yours then that hit the book and disappeared. if it doesn't then your order was on the book and got hit by someone else.
davout: mircea_popescu: so to sum it all up you get a track ID from the synchronous response message
Bugpowder: Anyone selling goxbux??? I hear they are having a 75% off sale
mircea_popescu: davout you know how the tracking thing works ?
BingoBoingo: It has only been 9 months since I've been ther.
davout: mircea_popescu: iirc the stat doesn't tell you about executions for orders that never hit the book
mircea_popescu: bothunch and the naked bot lunch
BingoBoingo: ThickAsThieves: Micon used to be quite the scam early warning system/
BingoBoingo: Last year I was accepting of the March madness pool that was just me and him.
BingoBoingo: I thought a quarter of their userbase was split between India, Indonesia, and the Phillipines.
davout: not arguing that, i need some more work to work around the mpex api weirdnesses
mircea_popescu: you're supposed to rule the book
mircea_popescu: basically the book is ruling you.
davout: the basic reason to this iirc is that executions that are immediate don't appear in stats
mircea_popescu: well no, marketmaker means exactly you blow out the book on a regular basis if it doesn't conform.
davout: i tried to push the job on pankkake
mircea_popescu: so there we go.
mircea_popescu: The $19 billion deal -- $12 billion in stock, $4 billion in cash and $3 billion in restricted shares
davout: we're getting there
BingoBoingo: Other people use web tools
BingoBoingo: Oh, I set up a board on the floor next to my desk
davout: what do you use to keep track of the board's state ?
davout: BingoBoingo: i'm pondering whether i should play myself or let my little brother play against you
mircea_popescu: Virgin Mary, Mother of God, become a feminist
ozbot: imgur: the simple image sharer
mircea_popescu: The head of the KGB, their chief saint, Leads protesters to prison under escort In order not to offend His Holiness Women must give birth and love
mircea_popescu: Black robe, golden epaulettes All parishioners crawl to bow The phantom of liberty is in heaven Gay-pride sent to Siberia in chains
mircea_popescu: Virgin Mary, Mother of God, put Putin away Рut Putin away, put Putin away
ozbot: Viking apocalypse: End of the world predicted to happen on Saturday (but don't cancel your weekend

davout: BingoBoingo: wasn't it the opposite, only 3bn in cash?
mircea_popescu: how the fuck is it punk
BingoBoingo: Russia is still catching up to the 70's
mircea_popescu: in what fucking sense ? i thought they were pop.
mircea_popescu: "Facebook is now buying out anything that 14 year olds might use for billions of dollars. Good thing they're using stock and not real money."
mircea_popescu: i'm sure they covered "issues" in primary school.
mircea_popescu: fucking embarrassment these kids.
jurov: davout: previously only bourse shares were sold, not even trading them was possible.
mircea_popescu: fucktards don't even know what words mean these days.
BingoBoingo: davout: Neither can I.
BingoBoingo: Caveat is the kicker I supposed for this months long tournament is expiring on the 28th, because obligations can not be kept open forever.
BingoBoingo: davout: We were coming to an inevitable tiebreaker problem so we added Apocalyptic an six player could help reduce ties still further.
davout: BingoBoingo: are you guys done with the first one ?
mircea_popescu: but when the girl is barefoot on the dirt floor, that's her own dirt floor she's barefood on.
BingoBoingo: Yeah. Between viewings one and two I did the paper reading.
mircea_popescu: if not exactly under the medieval conditions described.
mircea_popescu: you know visconti had amateurs shoot the whole thing ?
ThickAsThieves: We are very sorry for the delays and deeply appreciate your kind understanding and
ThickAsThieves: as possible to keep everyone in the loop."
ThickAsThieves: "As much as we didn’t want to only provide an “update on an update”, this is the current
ThickAsThieves: combined with some other security and technical challenges, pushed back our progress."
ThickAsThieves: "In addition to the technical issue, this week we have experienced some
BingoBoingo: ThickAsThieves: They were on a ventilator 9 months. Most sane courts would have unplugged the vegetable.
ThickAsThieves: but they are dead
BingoBoingo: ThickAsThieves: You realize the bet it for that particular day and not before.
BingoBoingo: It ended how the Merchant of Venice should have.
jurov: Sooo...infamous bitcoinbourse.eu is going to allow for trading of stocks...another lulzround begins?
mircea_popescu: that you can't do for them, nobody can, and so until they learn to submit you;re not going to have business there.
mircea_popescu: the problem you run into is this : they do not wish to actually matter in the world that is, they wish to instead live in a world they'd prefer.
BingoBoingo: I'm still leaving the offer out there if Goldman or JPM wants to try outrunning YCombinator that I tucked in my footnotes
BingoBoingo: GoxBTC is headed to the CORE!!!
Namworld: This announcement is as stupid as the previous one. Who would have thought.
mircea_popescu: seems a combination of really shitty hosting and people running servers on their home broadband
BingoBoingo: Is Microsoft actually making gains or are the finally moving Hotmail off of FreeBSD
MisterE: coz I root for the to fail heh
MisterE: hate to say it but Azure was good before the upgrade now I hear no complaints
BingoBoingo: Isn't that what the girls are for?
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: It give you articles published on bitcoin. Reading gives you the sensible things. Then math.
mircea_popescu: i have a new formula for computing the market value of bitcoin
BingoBoingo: Windows seems more to just be a fear of any other name. Call it pudding and they will ignore it is shit.
BingoBoingo: MS's priority for WIndows has to be keeping the number of Windows installs up to keep selling Office and Visual Studios.
mircea_popescu: what was the lowest consumer license for windoze, like 50 bux ?
BingoBoingo: Maybe, but I'm not in the wrong business that Facebook and Whatsapp are
B007: you are in the wrong business son
B007: sure there are
BingoBoingo: It wasn't at its inception. This is the old "Fake it until you make it" 30k millionaire shit.
BingoBoingo: This fake messaging network business whatsapp is in isn't too different from the fake software development tools business Microsoft started with
BingoBoingo: B007: What is the problematic point?
BingoBoingo: Now that WIndows is so entrenched with lusers over decades, they have been able to force a sorporate ecosystem, because learning is bad Mkay.
BingoBoingo: The entire microsoft ecosystem from Basic in the 70's to nao is that doing better things is more expensive in terms of time to learn the right ways.
BingoBoingo: Things like gox fucking with order matching though need to be considered in these bets. Anticipating SatoshiDice would probably not be listed on MPEx for the full length of 2013 make pushed me to put a whole BTC on S.BBet being worth more back in February.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo i can't find people to take these easy bets with
BingoBoingo: Well, if Gox keeps their order matching shennanigans up
BingoBoingo: Well, a lot of roads I have little occasion look much more impressive than they used to. Doesn't offer much utility though.
mircea_popescu: there are entire career paths financed on the public dole which consist of nothing but pretending like the crap matters,
mircea_popescu: greenspan_fan well, it's like in any socialist state : some people go along because they hope to get something from it,
chetty: does any real person care what the SJ crowd does/says?
greenspan_fan: is it really? or is that just something that everyone pretends to value because the alternative is constant broadsides from the SJ crowd?
mircea_popescu: for these schmucks it's nothing but an angle.
BingoBoingo: In the People
mircea_popescu: play the "womenz in tech" angle for maximum butthurt later on.
BingoBoingo: greenspan_fan: To my knowledge they process applications in batches. Kind of like the Army except without the filtering to keep bona fide retards out of camp.
greenspan_fan: I think it would be worthwhile to apply w/ that idea, like a startup version of the sokal affair
greenspan_fan: I already have a tagline: the world's newest profession
mircea_popescu: but in that sense piratebay eats their cookie.
mircea_popescu: the influence however, is exactly zero.
mircea_popescu: greenspan_fan the self-perception of importance is pretty much the whole of the compensation.
greenspan_fan: if all your "employees" work for free, then everything else is profit
greenspan_fan: I wonder if the opining actually shapes matters, like, at all?
mircea_popescu: but hey, you know. cocksuckers making enough to pay for either their own coffee or their own sugar opine on matters.
BingoBoingo: A half a Bitcoin is pretty sweet. The equivalent in shitbucks not so much.
mircea_popescu: fun fact : back in 2008 (ie, as the crisis hit) denton suspended their bonus package.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: The gawker rag Valleyway (the one with hedgec0k) has been running some lulzy bitcoin stuff you should probably have one of the girls archive.
moiety: yep exactly what they thought
moiety: it had been missing and turned up one day randomly where it shouldn't have been, so they got all suspicious of it lol
BingoBoingo: Bunnies make the perfect sleeper agents
moiety: was not disappointed! lol wiki has a pic of the rabbit "swimming away from the President" ffs lol
moiety: she's fucking feeding them!
moiety: people are so ridiculous. http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/japan-woman-chased-by-stampeding-herd-rabbits-video-1437033 they say she makes a lucky escape....
benkay: is there a bitbet on capitulation?
mircea_popescu: i suppose maybe maintain the appearance of things working in the eyes of complete noobs for an extra... hours ? coupla days ?
BingoBoingo: I'm impressed it took them this long.
benkay: thereby guaranteeing a rapid dissolution of fractional reserve?
mircea_popescu: if you put an order to sell they'll just delay it until someone bids enough.
gribble: The operation succeeded.
mircea_popescu: ;;later tell bloctoc there is oyur answer : it stopped dropping because they've stopped executing orders under X value.
asciilifeform: this is so trivial, that if it does not already exist, it is purely from lack of interest in the game
asciilifeform: (someone is driving the payouts, but you can trivially verify, having only the blockchain, that he never did anything other than the Right Thing)
asciilifeform: you could play this right now, sans voodoo, and it would look quite like the 'provably fair' dice widgets
asciilifeform: winner keeps the total
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: moves would be carried out by sending to an addr generated for the purpose
asciilifeform: if the bip-whatever voodoo mentioned earlier actually gets baked into the blockchain, one could conceivably play this game
asciilifeform: and the like
asciilifeform: but then, repeated-move stalemates
BingoBoingo: Sure, but tightening that upper bound gets messy. Even 16 queens block each other, restricting movement.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: can you quickly say, what is the largest number of legal moves possible for one chess player, in any position?
greenspan_fan: "if you want a picture of the future, it's us collecting a 3% transaction fee... forever"
asciilifeform: '...the first woodpecker would destroy civilization' - but he can't be arsed.
asciilifeform: any one of you folks who wants to actually give this a go, scroll up the log to find the n-sat solver... haha
mircea_popescu: then someone emulates quantum computers in a zx80 emulator emularted within a gpu card and bam
