(trilema) mike_c: not really. the company accountant screwed up. can't penalize specific shareholders for that
(trilema) mike_c: screws future investors, but they can see that in the report and take it into consideration.
(trilema) mike_c: overpay yourself and kako in the same amount, then carry forward the expense.
(trilema) mike_c: what can you do? mark it under expense and carry forward.
(trilema) mike_c: i was thinking tx fees on sending out refunds
(trilema) mike_c: i feel like i've asked this before, but: bitbet revenue line 'fees from refunds'. how are fees that bitbet paid considered revenue?
(trilema) mike_c: i didn't figure out the algorithm.
(trilema) mike_c: i know, right? no days off around here
(trilema) mike_c: buncha pencil pushers
(trilema) mike_c: btcalpha accountants say: mpoe march revenue should be 180.37141356, not 139.62178334
(trilema) mike_c: now do one on bitbet where all the weights flip!
(trilema) mike_c: it is funny though :)
(trilema) mike_c: omg. the log is remapping pathways in my brain. it's making me dyslexic.
(trilema) mike_c: hah. perhaps in another year.
(trilema) mike_c: i think he is just forgetting. this certainly sounds like him :) https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=37923;sa=showPosts
(trilema) mike_c: everybody starts a newbie (except ascii)
(trilema) mike_c: it's like shit with a sprinkling of honey. i would bitbet this but it's not definable.
(trilema) mike_c: even that would be better, because at least quora wouldn't have all the shit. but bitcointa.lk does have all the shit too!
(trilema) mike_c: it would be like if quora sent all their posts to yahoo answers.
(trilema) mike_c: 50 people posting exclusively on a forum could draw traffic, but i don't believe it works when the content is forwarded to the competition.
(trilema) mike_c: 50 people posting on bitcointa.lk is not going to kill btctalk.org.
(trilema) mike_c: so someone creates a thread to get herp banned, and that dipshit bans mpoe-pr instead. classic forum.
(trilema) mike_c: lol. awesome response.
(trilema) mike_c: mircea_popescu: was that shorthand for "that's what i'm doing with .lk"? i don't think that works, because the high quality content you influence to go to .lk also ends up in their forum. it's not competition.
(trilema) mike_c: you are describing b-a. study guide is the wiki.
(trilema) mike_c: and it can't be on b-a :) bad juju
(trilema) mike_c: if you want to kill bitcointalk, you need to create a new forum. it will fill with retards eventually, but it would solve the second problem.
(trilema) mike_c: you can't have an entrance exam. everybody starts off stupid.
(trilema) mike_c: i think it is admirable to try to provide a path out of there through mpoe-pr, but if they don't want it..
(trilema) mike_c: that cesspool hardly needs killing. it's already a wasteland.
(trilema) mike_c: you are directly supporting bitcointalk by paying someone to create high quality posts there. seems contradictory.
(trilema) mike_c: 1 2 3 4 5
(trilema) mike_c: obfuscation to prevent spying
(trilema) mike_c: log.b-a is doge now
(trilema) mike_c: mircea_popescu: same as silicon valley :)
(trilema) mike_c: i am not defending his retarded veiwpoint though. "it's ok because neo&bee ran ads".
(trilema) mike_c: but they have now heard of bitcoin, and next time it will be the second time.
(trilema) mike_c: i don't think they got that far in penetrating the consumer consciousness.
(trilema) mike_c: obviously neo&bee was not supposed to simply be an ad campaign for bitcoin.
(trilema) mike_c: it has some validity. marketing is repetition repetition..
(trilema) mike_c: japan gets first crack at karpeles, that's gotta be worth something.
(trilema) mike_c: well, the biggest debtor in the land is the govt. they aren't going to let things get deflationary.
(trilema) mike_c: kakobrekla: thanks, spam cleansed.

(trilema) mike_c: you don't know, yet it is a great time to buy.
(trilema) mike_c: just one of many things you are missing is that no one can buy.
(trilema) mike_c: lots of blue-collar jobs give personality tests before hiring
(trilema) mike_c: it's basically a loan.
(trilema) mike_c: he's not maintaining offices. just providing capital to that other company.
(trilema) mike_c: oh right, you explained to him that a business that just needs capital has no competitive advantages.
(trilema) mike_c: yeah, we discussed. read the logs already ;)
(trilema) mike_c: a random 50% pop after this new PO is announced..
(trilema) mike_c: i don't presume that at all. but it's either that, or a complete scam.
(trilema) mike_c: benkay: maybe it's like an acquisition rumor. why not buy all the lower priced shares if you know it's going to be forced to 75.
(trilema) mike_c: this terminology. you can only ipo once! that's why they call it "initial"
(trilema) mike_c: referring to new ipo at higher than market price
(trilema) mike_c: not suspended
(trilema) mike_c: pankkake: that is havelock.. see RENT, see NEOBEE, see ..
(trilema) mike_c: decimation: not necessarily a bad deal for the engineers. lot to be said for liking what you work on.
(trilema) mike_c: this is bitcoin, we don't care about wasting electricity.
(trilema) mike_c: well, overlays would be more of a see-through augmentation thing, not a closed off VR experience, no?
(trilema) mike_c: who wants to read in VR anyway?
(trilema) mike_c: ah. don't know whether the rows are staggered. i didn't know there were displays like that.
(trilema) mike_c: well, i assume not square pixels since there's a lens right in front of your eye.
(trilema) mike_c: asciilifeform: new oculus is 960x1080 per eye. that beats svga :)
(trilema) mike_c: velacreations: tab-completion.
(trilema) mike_c: well, i think the service is more for those that can't secure their keys.
(trilema) mike_c: "we’ll use multiple security layers to verify that you have authorized the request. This will initiate a sequence of secure steps to get your requested bitcoins transferred to your wallet within 24 hours."
(trilema) mike_c: it's a sequence of steps. layers.
(trilema) mike_c: he said he wouldn't say.
(trilema) mike_c: no no ascii, they have "layer on layer" of security. it'll be fine.
(trilema) mike_c: xapo will fix all these problems. they bury shit in a mountain.
(trilema) mike_c: well, one way it existed until now is TaT fronted five of the funds. now he's down to zero.
(trilema) mike_c: asciilifeform: facebook has over 1 billion users. chumpatron will never run out of fuel.
(trilema) mike_c: so you are the one who ran away with shares?? (j/k)
(trilema) mike_c: 23:39:35ThickAsThieves:NEOBEE is not changing operators.
(trilema) mike_c: i don't think that's the spirit of the bet, but i don't think it matters.
(trilema) mike_c: i don't think temporarily counts, but it sounds like it will be permanent soon to me.
(trilema) mike_c: hm. Neobee halts trading, TaT is running from it.. guess this is one is diving into the dead pool.
(trilema) mike_c: i get cloudflare errors 75% of the time i try to go to havelock.
(trilema) mike_c: now the ipo is underpriced!
(trilema) mike_c: not like the other day when you posted that md4 challenge and i almost fried my graphics card trying to crack it.

(trilema) mike_c: mircea_popescu: carmack and abrash were the talent & brains behind id software (doom,quake)
(trilema) mike_c: indeed assbot.
(trilema) mike_c: holee shit. michael abrash is joining carmack at oculus. amazing.
(trilema) mike_c: assbot is trying to catch up to mp's line count
(trilema) mike_c: so if it doesn't crumble it causes the car to fly!
(trilema) mike_c: re: not brissant: " provides another layer of deflection and finally causes the Model S to ramp up and over the object if it is essentially incompressible and immovable"
(trilema) mike_c: mircea_popescu: three shields, aluminum bar, then titanium shield, then aluminum deflector shield.
(trilema) mike_c: actually less brissant than i thought
(trilema) mike_c: they ran over an alternator and a tow hitch. but they were brissant.
(trilema) mike_c: ah. my limited language skills at work.
(trilema) mike_c: plus neither I nor google knows what brissant means.
(trilema) mike_c: immovable object, unstoppable force, who knows?
(trilema) mike_c: ok, thanks.
(trilema) mike_c: assume i am not worried about someone raw-reading my hdd. are there other attack vectors?
(trilema) mike_c: true or false: if i type a password into my shell, and then call 'history -c', i am ok?
(trilema) mike_c: but if you use gpgauth and they get hacked, you have an excuse. so it's ok. like when your site goes down because aws goes down, built in excuse. </sarcasm>
(trilema) mike_c: yes, but everybody has hands and feet. not everybody has guns.
(trilema) mike_c: the20year2: again.. seems misleading. is that just for gun owners?
(trilema) mike_c: the20year2: probably not a percentage basis?
(trilema) mike_c: nah, lawyers will get paid and an agreement will be made.
(trilema) mike_c: geez, those furry beasts in the water on trilema are so cute i'm going to puke.
(trilema) mike_c: slow and steady gets you somewhere hopefully
(trilema) mike_c: who knew ascii talked so much?
(trilema) mike_c: aww, not even top 20.

(trilema) mike_c: jurov uses bitcoin address signed messages for 2fa
(trilema) mike_c: good idea kako. maybe put a link on b-a.com?
(trilema) mike_c: seems like a lot of counterparty risk with those partnerships. but you obviously understand the biz more than I
(trilema) mike_c: the20year3: any comment on mp's question about the NC expansion? paraphrasing: you have advantages in ohio (namely the economics and your expertise), and how will those scale to NC?
(trilema) mike_c: topace said it can't, but also that he isn't involved so he doesn't know.
(trilema) mike_c: asciilifeform: well, no strong indications that it is run by scammers. just that they don't understand their relationship with havelock very well..
(trilema) mike_c: ^ heh. "rent shares rose on news that they will soon be forced to be worth 0.0075 btc"
(trilema) mike_c: asciilifeform: https://www.havelockinvestments.com/fund.php?symbol=RENT they buy houses in ohio and rent them out.
(trilema) mike_c: so what, the block of shares is just released at the same time that open market trading continues?
(trilema) mike_c: next "tranche" of RENT shares is going to be sold at 75, but market price is 53.
(trilema) mike_c: so enlighten us, how does a 2nd round ipo at a higher price than the market price work?
(trilema) mike_c: good thing they opened up new TLDs or these cryptoexchanges would have run out of doman names by now.
(trilema) mike_c: i don't think it was bitcoin, it was some altcoin

(trilema) mike_c: fyrstikken sounds familiar. what exchange does he run?
(trilema) mike_c: i cooked and disposed of laboratory trash to pay for school. worst smell of my life.
(trilema) mike_c: thanks for rating mp. i have found wot useful even for someone like me with a small graph. you rate people you trust, and then can leech off their ratings.
(trilema) mike_c: ;;calc 4/25.4
(trilema) mike_c: it's not :)
(trilema) mike_c: gribble > google
(trilema) mike_c: hm, gribble doesn't support it anyway
(trilema) mike_c: ;;google 4mm to inches
(trilema) mike_c: that's weak. it does measurements for you. i guess timezones aren't as popular
(trilema) mike_c: hah. gotcha.
(trilema) mike_c: keeping apple alive prevented more DOJ attention at the time.
(trilema) mike_c: the 'dark age' of apple would have been the 'no apple' age if microsoft hadn't given them money to keep them alive.
(trilema) mike_c: ^ i think you are underestimating what it took to build the monolopy.
(trilema) mike_c: microsoft didn't shove a cattle prod up anyone's ass.
(trilema) mike_c: asciilifeform: hence his business acumen.
(trilema) mike_c: nobody does have the power to tell the powerful what to do. mp has stated that some 5 million times.
(trilema) mike_c: he justifiably instilled more fear than steve jobs ever did.
(trilema) mike_c: say what you will about "microshit", but bill gates was/is a hell of a businessman.
(trilema) mike_c: lampelina: no rush, just teasing. good luck running it.

(trilema) mike_c: asciilifeform: indeed. how exactly would they make an effort to collect anyway? impossible.
(trilema) mike_c: i do see your point, but i agree with ascii. it makes no practical difference since the bureaucrats will not recognize said difference.
(trilema) mike_c: it's a zero-asset company :)
(trilema) mike_c: if my employer pays me in stock, i owe taxes. can't hit me in the head with that
(trilema) mike_c: good handicappers at the racetrack know a shitload more than me about horses.
(trilema) mike_c: that is the case for all parimutuel wagering
(trilema) mike_c: the btc one
(trilema) mike_c: that one seems right though
(trilema) mike_c: yeah, right after i said that i second thought it. lot of the big profits comes from unexpected results.
(trilema) mike_c: not bad at all. plus you could surely do better by varying your budget on the bets.
(trilema) mike_c: thx. it is cool to look at some of the big winners for the house. the mtgox closure caused a huge one. 0.07 btc -> 1.36 btc
(trilema) mike_c: thanks MisterE mircea_popescu
(trilema) mike_c: not one of the first 3
(trilema) mike_c: not the same weight

(trilema) mike_c: lots of counter-examples to that
(trilema) mike_c: hah. nothing wrong with that either :) unless vince mcmahon has some bitcoin
(trilema) mike_c: mircea_popescu: didn't get it..
(trilema) mike_c: oh nvm, stern left Feb. 1
(trilema) mike_c: only for like 2 more months
(trilema) mike_c: BingoBoingo: but no point shaving possible here, just 5:1 odds on the eastern conference. that's a good bet.
(trilema) mike_c: benkay: there's a json feed by tacking ?json on the end of the bet url
(trilema) mike_c: always glengarry glen ross

(trilema) mike_c: so there! :)
(trilema) mike_c: well, mercurial can't do shallow clones.

(trilema) mike_c: everybody is going to get in on that proposed NBA finals bet as soon as it's approved.
(trilema) mike_c: i like their faq. question: "How can you have USD strike prices but option prices in BTC?" answer: "Orders can be canceled by their user at any time if they have not yet been matched"
(trilema) mike_c: they aren't even worth laughing at. a couple of front-end engineers built an options exchange.
(trilema) mike_c: i liked hornblower
(trilema) mike_c: hm, hornblower has got to be better than a book crichton wrote after he died
(trilema) mike_c: http://bitbet.us/faq/#140 explains how you can lose money on a bet.
(trilema) mike_c: lurking around, yeah. you can just ask if you have a question.
(trilema) mike_c: don't you know graphs are supposed to go up and to the right!?
