TestingUnoDosTre: tried and it said key was already i use
TestingUnoDosTre: "this key is already registered under the server"
TestingUnoDosTre: database*
benkay: hey nanotube how does changing nicks happen
nanotube: benkay: just /nick <newnick> ?
benkay: alternatively, you could sign the new identity with the old identity's keys saying something along the lines of 'now doing business as' and then ask all your raters to rate your new nick
benkay: nanotube: in wot one cannot register a key to two nicks. how would one change one's wot nick.
TestingUnoDosTre: sign the new identity with old key?
benkay: /./?
benkay: well, rate it
TestingUnoDosTre: yah, thought of that
nanotube: TestingUnoDosTre: well, if you wanted to do it without my intervention, you can just change key on your old identity to some new key, then register the old key with a new nick. or... you could just ask me to change your otc username.
TestingUnoDosTre: WOT becomes the tangled web of trust
nanotube: hopefully not tangled :)
TestingUnoDosTre: ooo could you please change my otcusername to TheNewDeal

nanotube: your irc nick is irrelevant, as long as you have the key for thenewdeal, you can auth as thenewdeal, even if your nick is benkay :)
TheNewDeal: so I could have authed as TestingUnoDosTre while I am thenewdeal, just have to be less retarded?

benkay: a bitcoin today is worth how many bitcoin next year?
benkay: fundamental problem.
TestingUnoDosTre: say I want to invest 1 btc in a bitbet that will resolve jan 1 2015
TestingUnoDosTre: how much interest (in btc) should I need for a bet that resolves in half the time, to compare equally

benkay: bitbet opened in january?
benkay: last january?
benkay: so 15 mos?
TestingUnoDosTre: jan 1 2015 is like 8 months from now
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [B.SELL] 7 @ 0.03585275 = 0.251 BTC [+] {7}
TestingUnoDosTre: so lets say I want to put 1 btc down on a bet that resolves 1 august 2014
BingoBoingo: It really depends on what you are betting on and who else might want to bet.
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [B.SELL] 10 @ 0.03627054 = 0.3627 BTC [+] {10}
TestingUnoDosTre: lets just stick to the time value of having 1 btc locked up in a bet for 4 months vs 8 months
TestingUnoDosTre: do you know what I mean?
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [B.SELL] 11 @ 0.0376818 = 0.4145 BTC [+] {11}
BingoBoingo: I'm not sure what you are trying to mean matters much.
TestingUnoDosTre: haha well I shall continue
BingoBoingo: If you want to lock up a bitcoin on Bitbet, the most important thing is having good information.
BingoBoingo: But yeah, continue
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [B.SELL] 9 @ 0.03872165 = 0.3485 BTC [+] {9}
TestingUnoDosTre: so If I'm going to buy a stock option that expires jan 1 2015 of company A
TestingUnoDosTre: let's say it costs $100
TestingUnoDosTre: and then I wait 4 months
TestingUnoDosTre: stock price stays the same
TestingUnoDosTre: but option costs $200
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [B.SELL] 11 @ 0.038999 = 0.429 BTC [+] {11}
benkay: i think the bitbet return betting the house line is about 0.5%/mo
TestingUnoDosTre: I did just read the article today
TestingUnoDosTre: very intruiging
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [B.SELL] 11 @ 0.038999 = 0.429 BTC [+] {11}
TestingUnoDosTre: but what I am asking is, what is the cost of locking up a bitcoin for a period of time
fluffypony: punkman: I was *so close* to pulling the trigger on that Montrex watch when I saw it, but I couldn't find anything open an "open source Suisse" movement on the web so I figured something was awry...so glad I didn't go for it
TestingUnoDosTre: because it seams to be negative
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [B.SELL] 10 @ 0.03899949 = 0.39 BTC [+] {8}
benkay: hah yes you do recieve a return for placing btc on bitbet
benkay: or you can i suppose
BingoBoingo: TestingUnoDosTre: Well, in this exercise are you betting both sides?
BingoBoingo: Or only the winning one?
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [B.SELL] 11 @ 0.03936362 = 0.433 BTC [+] {9}
TestingUnoDosTre: you could be doing this with both sides if you wish
TestingUnoDosTre: ill try another example
benkay: think about it like this: bitbet pays you interest for providing liquidity
TestingUnoDosTre: lets say I'm betting both sides on two bets
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [B.SELL] 10 @ 0.03966867 = 0.3967 BTC [+] {8}
TestingUnoDosTre: I'll lay .5 btc on yes and no for bet 1 and bet 2
TestingUnoDosTre: bet 1 ends 4 months from now
TestingUnoDosTre: bet 2 ends 8 months from now
TestingUnoDosTre: what rate should I pursue (I realize I don't have a control in it), for the two returns to be "equal"
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [B.SELL] 8 @ 0.03999973 = 0.32 BTC [+] {8}
TestingUnoDosTre: if it were in dollars
BingoBoingo: .5 on each side is probably a poor mix.
benkay: you can't guarantee a rate anyways, TestingUnoDosTre
TestingUnoDosTre: it's a thought experiment for jah's sake
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [B.MINE] 6 @ 0.03067661 = 0.1841 BTC [+] {3}
TestingUnoDosTre: my point is this
TestingUnoDosTre: if bet 2 had a return of 10%
TestingUnoDosTre: what would the return be for bet 1 to be equal to bet 2
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [B.MINE] 20 @ 0.03070893 = 0.6142 BTC [+] {12}
TestingUnoDosTre: the answer is, slightly less than 5%
TestingUnoDosTre: because you could (theoretically again), place another bet down, hoping for that same 4 month return, and you would equal the bet 2 return of 10%
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [B.MINE] 7 @ 0.03128571 = 0.219 BTC [+] {4}
TestingUnoDosTre: I'm not saying you would for sure win these bets. I'm asking, if you did win these bets, what would be the answer for a BTC scenario
BingoBoingo: Honestly given the type of site BitBet is, I would be more concerned with trying to win the bets outright instead of chasing a fixed return.
TestingUnoDosTre: bitbet is not really the point
TestingUnoDosTre: it's really any investment vehicle, denominated in BTC
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [B.MINE] 17 @ 0.03202939 = 0.5445 BTC [+] {8}
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [B.SELL] 6 @ 0.03371137 = 0.2023 BTC [-] {3}
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [B.EXCH] 6 @ 0.06474168 = 0.3885 BTC [-] {3}
TestingUnoDosTre: For instance, if you were going to loan out 1 btc today to two people, one is going to pay you back in 4 months, the second in 8 months
TestingUnoDosTre: does anyone here catch a whiff of what I'm smoking?
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [B.MINE] 13 @ 0.0331923 = 0.4315 BTC [+] {7}

mircea_popescu: it's anonymized
VanCleef: to be honest its a lil over my head, i hvave to read it a few times to fully understand it
VanCleef: i wanted to do a homage to 80's action films and do one about the most powerful groups of people that run the world today and they all work in this underground sex trade where they only use women as currency
mircea_popescu: why not have them fuck ductaped baby chickens, and use THAT as the currency.
ThickAsThieves: i'm gonna make a post in MY blog about the new ending, cuz apparently it's all the rage these days, blogging on top of what mp says ;)

VanCleef: how much btc?
mircea_popescu: i dunno dood, i don't even run a studio. chances are, it'll never get made anyway
VanCleef: that's okey studios pay like 50k just to own scripts and keep them under their desk
VanCleef: then they pay you more if they decide to make the movie
mircea_popescu: did you ever get paid 50k + more ?
VanCleef: i only wrote one script but i deleted it recently

mircea_popescu: web 1.0 was and sitll is good enough. in the sense of way better than any walled garden bullshit.
pankkake: semantic web is all about urls and proper markup
ThickAsThieves: i saw someone use ethereum and the like as a Web 3.0 reference
ThickAsThieves: i almost died
pankkake: not 1MB of javascript
ThickAsThieves: maybe we'll just start calling generations that way instead of Generation X, it's Web 3.0!
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves im kinda curious how far the nonsense will go. specificaslly, if the comatose media-only "Web 2.0" will be forgotten and a new web 2.0 will be enacted, out of the same pressed shitboard,
mircea_popescu: or if they will take 2.0 as a thing that actually existed, and continue the count.
ThickAsThieves: i think itll get to 3.0 then go away

ThickAsThieves: yep, Gyft
ThickAsThieves: and The Mighty Ducks
cazalla: for all of 10 seconds
ThickAsThieves: But the idea that underage boys were drugged and raped at the Encino estate, and sometimes threatened with guns by Collins-Rector, is hardly new. Egan was one of several young men to make such allegations in lawsuits filed against Collins-Rector, Shackley and Pierce 14 years ago -- court cases in which the plaintiffs won $4.5 million from Collins-Rector and Shackley by default because
ThickAsThieves: the trio had fled the country (Pierce reached a settlement).
mircea_popescu: so it'd be safe to say he was attracted to bitcoin by bruce wagner ?
ThickAsThieves: Pierce's most recent bio says he is co-founder of GoCoin, ExpressCoin, KnCMiner.cn and Robocoin Asia.
mircea_popescu: i wonder if asicminer has figured out yet that it can probably make a decent penny selling such "board seats"
ThickAsThieves: GoCoin, isnt that the one all the SeedCoinFund people are butthurt about "missing" out on?
mircea_popescu: to celebrities desperate for retroactive "involvement" who still are noobish enough to imagine this will allow them to bypass the wot.
ThickAsThieves: i think the asicminer board is in an ill state actually
ThickAsThieves: they won't remove me from their email list so i still see hints of it
ThickAsThieves: participation appears to be low
mircea_popescu: well that's not really new.
ThickAsThieves: dividends moving to monthly
ThickAsThieves: shit like that
ThickAsThieves: yeah that's true, when i was there 10 people might show up, but only 3 or 4 ever talked
mircea_popescu: lol. ah if only they had enough sense to do what told a while back.
ThickAsThieves: now it seems only 4 show up an hour late to nothing
ThickAsThieves: The US economy created 288,000 jobs in April, the strongest monthly job creation since January 2012.
ThickAsThieves: "The one thing I would be careful with though is the decline in the unemployment rate, the decline in the unemployment rate was a function of the labour force falling by 806,000, that is gargantuan decline," he added.
mircea_popescu: people leave, what.
mircea_popescu: you want to leave, everyone you know here wants to leave, what's so surprising ?
mircea_popescu: a lot have left, a lot more are leaving and a helluva lot more will be leaving.
ThickAsThieves: well part of my dafuckness is how they are all "It's a flat out good report. All of the metrics that you want to see improve, did," said Tom Porcelli
ThickAsThieves: but then are like, well a million people left, so there's that
ThickAsThieves: left/died?
mircea_popescu: well... the reports that were made to make you feel good are made in the way that we agreed will make you feel good.
mircea_popescu: so why dont you feel good ? are you perhaps insane ?
mircea_popescu: it seems to me like this is slow onset schizophrenia, mydear boy.

pankkake: well if you want to buy or sell bitcoins, you can use bitcoin-otc http://bitcoin-otc.com/ - of course, you're dealing with users directly, so you have to be careful *who* your are dealing with
fluffypony: MarieLynn: so since I live in South Africa I've also struggled with that - we only had 1 exchange (now 2) and their volumes are terrible. I can cash out from BitStamp to my bank account, but it is irritating. Two solutions I've found: 1. If it's bigger than $1k use BitPay. Sign up, get verified, and then invoice yourself when you need money paid out to your Ca bank account. 2. For smaller amounts, use person-to-person trading either on
fluffypony: Freenode in #bitcoin-otc (which also uses the WoT mentioned earlier) or on localbitcoins (you can arrange to meet people face-to-face, and lower your risk by not sending anything till you have cash-in-hand)
fluffypony: oh well pankkake already mentioned 2 :)

asciilifeform: copper is expensive - not merely the metal, but maintenance - keeping water out of the cable ducts, etc. the telcos would hurry to be rid of it even the removal did not speed the arrival of arsenet.
pankkake: and keeping the romanians from stealing it
asciilifeform: in a traditional telco plant, there are giant air dryers, blowing into ducts, to keep positive pressure
asciilifeform: my understanding is that these, at least where i live, and in a number of other places, have given out - and never replaced
asciilifeform: instead, there are tanks of co2 chained to poles here and there

joecool: lasernet
asciilifeform: (can easily think of creative penalties for buyers of stolen copper. say, hanging with same stolen cable. on a hv mast.)
joecool: my state had a unique copper problem
asciilifeform: sorta like how, in old scotland, they had a contraption very similar to the later guillotine - 'scottish gibbet' - where a cattle or horse thief would find the animal he stole attached to a rope, which pulls out the peg, blade falls.
joecool: we kept getting floods so people threw out things like refrigerators (with coils)
joecool: the municipalities though would sell scrap licenses for these discarded items and arrest anyone who picked it up without a permit
asciilifeform: hard to think of how else the crown could distinguish between legit and thieving metal recyclers.
fluffypony: ThickAsThieves: the adoption argument is that it seems "more like a currency" because we're used to 2 decimal places, and most account software can't work with more than 2 anyway
asciilifeform: refrigerators, unlike cars, don't come with legal titles
BingoBoingo: fluffypony: Have the accounting software work satoshis then.
asciilifeform: and once it is melted down - metal is metal
fluffypony: BingoBoingo: well, yes, that's exactly what's been suggested

BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: True. Picking the radio bands over US style distances presents challenges though.

joecool: lol yeah cannot do that :P
bounce: who's to know? I'm doing experiments with me mate
bounce: "yeah new modulation guv"
asciilifeform: bounce: it relies on some reasonably general-purpose channel, of whatever bandwidth
BingoBoingo: bounce: HAMs tend to be a territorial and snitchy bunch
bounce: one option might be to get a boating radio licence. they're already throwing packet over those frequencies for email-to-boat
asciilifeform: in usa at least, 'hams' know that they live at the pleasure of the crown, various folks are always hungry for their spectrum pie
asciilifeform: so they eagerly rat out violators.
artifexd: ThickAsThieves: Had it been done at the beginning 1mn satoshis to the bitcoin would have made more sense. That would have made 2.1 billion bitcoin in total and maybe that number would have made people register that 21 million was not an arbitrary number and making coins with more is just a fucking headache.
bounce: well, then forget about the licence and go entirely pirate with a spread-spectrum frequency-hopping whatever construct.
asciilifeform: bounce: suggested earlier. and, of course, by many other people, in the past.
bounce: or stick to linking up wifi nodes with dish antennae. that goes a while too.
bounce: the thing there is that you need ready access to hardware, or at least schematics simple enough for the hobbyist to cobble together.
bounce: doesn't have to be very efficient. ttl everything will do as long as it works.
asciilifeform: the point i wanted to make was that anything other than a very broad, military-style spread spectrum setup, with hop keys exchanged in person, is simply a beacon for the gasenwagen.

ozbot: Gladio
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: yes - them.
mircea_popescu: i think you must wreite it like GLADIO
mircea_popescu: i noticed that is how you must write everything about these things
BingoBoingo: Interesting hardware ascii
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: if you study the other exhibits on that site, you will learn that even 1950s soviet 'spy radio' designers understood that one must send very rare messages, in the shortest possible bursts
mircea_popescu: <MarieLynn> Before that I was a tour guide across North America, I started at 18. And a nanny too :) << now how do you figure that being a tour guide and a nanny transitions to providing leadership services for the world's most important project ?
ozbot: Gladio
asciilifeform: russian sets of that period came with hole punchers (similar to the ubiquitous hand-cranked office label printers)
kakobrekla: i already gave her instructions
jborkl: You get to listen to a bunch of titybabies cry all day?
asciilifeform: punch holes in ordinary 35mm film, feed into machine later
asciilifeform: this was mainly from a shortage of master 'morsemen'
mircea_popescu: <bitcoinpete> But if the neutralistas got their way, people in developing countries wouldn’t have better Internet access; many of them would have nothing" << omfg who the shit cares about the poor, what sort of braindamaged argument is this.
mircea_popescu: eat the motherfucking poor.
bounce: hah, double post. n'mind then.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla yeah im like behind
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: they include 'for the good of the poor' in any official proclamation now. as in 'the good of the proletariat' and whatnot.
bounce: it'd be useful to have a bursting service on your radio
mircea_popescu: and i can't catch up because you're all into explody talkmode
kakobrekla: wait lemme +m
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform pretty much exactly. which is why a lot more "fuck the poor, they're less than dirt" needs to be stated explicitly.
mircea_popescu: otherwise the general fucktarded populace may end up confused, cause they're simple signal processors.
mircea_popescu: they keep hearing "coca cola is a drink" they end up thinking it's a drink.
mircea_popescu: retarded shit like that.
asciilifeform: eat recycled food!
asciilifeform: it's good for the environment - and ok fer you!
bounce: soylent brown
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> living in usa, i admit i'm rather surprised that it is 2014 and i'm not yet forced to pay $500/mo to get something other than ArsebookNet << i think they're running way behind schedule.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform> and wonders like fidonet will return from the grave. << where do you think you're now ?
mircea_popescu: fluffypony lmao "chinese rules". i dunno dood, afaik the chinese are the most druggy whoring of the whole lot.
bounce: that oauth hole isn't really fixable, is it?
mircea_popescu: <ThickAsThieves> lordy, the forum and bitpay wanna move the bitcoin decimal to two places << enemies of the people.
fluffypony: bounce: not without whitelists
mircea_popescu: bounce indeed.
mircea_popescu: !up SuchWow
assbot: Voicing SuchWow for 30 minutes.
mircea_popescu: fucking broken by design "security"

bounce: superfluous apostrophe is superfluous
mircea_popescu: <joecool> the municipalities though would sell scrap licenses for these discarded items and arrest anyone who picked it up without a permit << fucking outrageous. selling licenses on MY trash ? heh.
fluffypony: SuchWow: unusual seeing you here
joecool: mircea_popescu: yeah, the same logic applies on recyclables
SuchWow: Thanks, first I've heard of the chan :)
mircea_popescu: <fluffypony> and ignored << just because some inconsequential idiots a la bitpay & the forum are herping away dun mean anything's been ignored. you can't ignore the judge, or the bullet.
Namworld: Move decimals to two places? You mean as in making 1 BTC = 100 satoshi?
fluffypony: Namworld: yes
fluffypony: how are they feeding values in to an accounting system anyway?
fluffypony: by hand?
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo> bounce: HAMs tend to be a territorial and snitchy bunch << only because no real political pressure has been applied to them yet, because nobody gave a shit. normally the sewer rats are also a snitchy, territorial bunch. nevertheless, nobody in the lower east side would talk to a cop, pre ww2.
fluffypony: coz if it's programmatic they should be working in satoshis anyway
mircea_popescu: they prolly don't know about this, or anything else.
Namworld: What? That's retarded. We'd end up with 2000 BTC to the dollar and a shitload of BTC. Plus that wouldn't change anything at all, actually.
mircea_popescu: heck, they probably have bitcoin defined as a real.
mircea_popescu: Namworld they imagine it'd make more noobs buy, and so make their worthless holdings worth somerthing.
mircea_popescu: because they imagine bitcoin is a consumer affair
mircea_popescu: because they're braindamaged.
mircea_popescu: fluffypony who's he ?
Namworld: Plus you know a few places would scam people "We only owe you X BTC" and the generic moron would go "I knew it, BTC under 1 dollar by the end of the year."
fluffypony: who's he who?
Namworld: Plus much derping around.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform> good luck setting up a line-of-sight anything in u.s. suburbia. << why ?
mircea_popescu: fluffypony the SuchWow guy.
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: oh, he's an op in #dogecoin
SuchWow: I hang out in a large number of bitcoin and dogecoin related chans
mircea_popescu: Namworld i can see that, yeah. there's nothing like "confusion" when the "confused" stands to make a buck from it.
SuchWow: Looking through your websites now, very impressive info.
Namworld: Go in suburbia, stand any random spot, look around. Line of sight to plenty of solid points will be found. Get creative. (Are we still talking about creating a comm mesh?)
mircea_popescu: one of the many threads but yes.
mircea_popescu: you can have flying objects in suburbia, you can definitely have stuff hid inside tree tops, etc.
mircea_popescu: so trendon shavers managed to funel ~70k through his paypal account. to which paypal gave no trouble at all. why aren't they co-defendants in his case ?
mircea_popescu: because his lawyer is fucktarded that's why.
mircea_popescu: 11k for gas and groceries. and then they claim no inflation eh ?
mircea_popescu: "proceeds on btc sold : 600k. trading losses, 150k. net 450k" heh.
mircea_popescu: he's almost as bad as the forum average, 25% loss over a year.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: treetops, flying machines parked on office roofs, charging solar, etc. - sure. line of sight to a friendly window, city-style - not likely.
mircea_popescu: well that all depends, i guess. what's to keep you from cutting a square foot window in the tree ?
mircea_popescu: put a glass panel in your fence ?
asciilifeform: what's to keep the stoolies from using their eyes?
mircea_popescu: how many stoolies, how many eyes and who;'s going to derp on your land ?
mircea_popescu: maybe they get shot.
mircea_popescu: accidents happen, and stoolies are in all times and places the first to also have problems.
asciilifeform: since we're at the 'pack parachute' stage, nobody's shooting stoolies around here yet.
mircea_popescu: that's the only reason, too.
mircea_popescu: as i said a few times before, the other party can move it up to getting shot any time it feels ready
mircea_popescu: talk to its fambly, say goodbies, come to the field.
bounce: drones with mesh potatoes and solar panels for autonomy. some proximity sensors and such. one roof gets too hot for comfort, move to the next.
bounce: what's the state of thin foil solar panels anyway?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform or to put it in plainer terms : it is very true one wants to invent parachute before, rather than after being thrown from the plane.
mircea_popescu: this point applies to the government.
mircea_popescu: i am quite curious to hear what their parachute design will look like.
asciilifeform: everybody's seen the photos of fleets of gasenwagen, brand new
mircea_popescu: stoolies being what they are, i'll prolly hear about it before they actually accept it.
ozbot: Georg Ritter von Flondor, and what his unhappy life can teach us pe Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Pope
mircea_popescu: time to rehash the sad story of von flondor.
kakobrekla: this is what tat was talking about ?
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla hey, why isn't enky ever say anything ?
fluffypony: kakobrekla: yes

mircea_popescu: back when benkay was liek... correcting my math. how's this benkay baby! six months fixed my broked math.
thestringpuller: ;;calc 2*3
asciilifeform: this decimal point crap is a mega-lol. they can't inflate, so... let's move decimal. like in a banana republic, or '90s russia.
mircea_popescu: exactly.
asciilifeform: cargo cult, too. fat lot of good it will do for the idiots.
mircea_popescu: there's more to it asciilifeform. suppose you visit this university, which wants you to take it seriously. in it, the head of nuclear physics is hard at work making an inventory of... his bunions.
mircea_popescu: what's that indicate to you ? i mean sure, great men can be eccentric.
mircea_popescu: nevertheless...
asciilifeform: u.s. academia, in once sentence.
MarieLynn: interesting post :)
mircea_popescu: maybe the bunion accountant has no business in physics, nuclear or otherwise, and the thing ain't an university in any sense.
mircea_popescu: MarieLynn so, that. the one thing that does more than everything else all humans ever did in the entire history of life on earth.
MarieLynn: My friend is looking for a Rails dev @ 120-180K for his kinky site... I wish I was a Rails dev all of a sudden :)
mircea_popescu: for all your poetry and wit couldn't buy you half a hash.
mircea_popescu: davout was a rails dev if memory serves :D
pankkake: it's easy to be a Ruby dev. you just need a macbook and a fedora
asciilifeform: MarieLynn: dev @ 120-180K << lemme guess, california.
MarieLynn: <+mircea_popescu> I will quote you on this when I talk about bitcoin
gribble: The operation succeeded.
MarieLynn: Nope The position is anywhere.
MarieLynn: Nice opportunity to arbitrage your skills when you live in a super cheap place!
asciilifeform: pankkake: you just need a macbook and a fedora << and a leaden stomach
mircea_popescu: uh. what do you think arbitrage means ?
asciilifeform: note that, e.g. oil rig men get $200K+
pankkake: why? because of starbucks coffees?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform not for doing stuff on reddit tho
MarieLynn: You keep living in a cheap place a reap the benefits of working in a place where they pay more for talent.
mircea_popescu: MarieLynn mno. that's getting a good remote job.
pankkake: maybe I should have left for an oil rig
asciilifeform: dealing in redditronics ought to earn a hazard pay, like soviet workers in the far north
asciilifeform: in fact... it sorta does.
mircea_popescu: pankkake i hear you gotta be a fag to man an oil rig.
pankkake: so it's like an union thing
asciilifeform: gotta be a fag to man an oil rig << it's not a nuke sub. they rotate the crew occasionally.
MarieLynn: My other friend in Saskatchewan says construction workers are impossible to find because the mines pay too high :)
asciilifeform: i'm still at a loss as to why gigantic server farms aren't built, in, say, alaska
fluffypony: hah hah
fluffypony: "Tradefortress has no room to bash anyone else besides Karpeles, Pirate, or maybe Mr. NEOBEE, Danny Brewster. Everyone else, small-time scammers included, would be better company at this point."
asciilifeform: or the very same miners.
MarieLynn: My boyfriend beats people up for a living but there are few people in Montreal who are tough enough for his classes.
asciilifeform: 'yeah we're short on cabling, the men delivering had to shoot their dogs'
mircea_popescu: MarieLynn arbitrage is the buying and selling of the same one asset (either natural or synthetic) in different markets that are divergent. so in order to arbitrage skills, you'd have to first buy them. skills aren't commodities however, and so this "arbitrage your skills" is just hipster talk.
MarieLynn: I shall never use it again in your presence then
mircea_popescu: tbh i was expecting something more along the lines of "wtf is a synthetic"
asciilifeform: you can get machine racks in shipping containers. drop them straight on the snow, connect to power plant, put a bit of concertina wire around.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform so your dc sinks ten feet each summer ?
asciilifeform: i bet they float just fine.
mircea_popescu: how do you find them again if they float ?

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform listen, for your average "rich american" 10 cubic meters of cement are expensive.
mircea_popescu: don't go telling me about how a 200 meter long pike is nothing.
asciilifeform: average american will not be hosting in the klondike, agreed.
mircea_popescu: bounce yeah, something like that, perhaps.
asciilifeform: almost certainly good ROI though if you factor cooling.
mircea_popescu: up until some derps come to confiscate your cattle
mircea_popescu: because your cooling is endangering the spotted ice shrimp
asciilifeform: let them confiscate hot reactor.
benkay: lol MarieLynn your website has an obama quote? is that...are you...what even ams, yo

asciilifeform: i bet they've got one in norilsk as we speak.
mircea_popescu: nah. they'd have blown it by now.
mircea_popescu: not even actual experts can run the shit russians make.
mircea_popescu: it's like java on rails for nuclear physicists.
MarieLynn: Benkay I put it there for fun, I just met him casually about 22 years ago with his mom :)
asciilifeform: herr orlov had a piece, where he 'what if concert pianos sometimes exploded'
asciilifeform: 'how many serious pianists left'
MarieLynn: I still haven't asked the museum archivist to tak out the note he wrote in the guestbook. Barrie!
benkay: "java on rails for nuclear physicists" << lulzlozlozwlw
mircea_popescu: MarieLynn how;'s the guy';s mom like ?

kakobrekla: i watched a bunch of episodes of computer chronicles quite some time ago, i guess this kennas show will have a similar feel in 20 years or so. the main difference though is that cc was not ran by scammers but the opposite.

mircea_popescu: thestringpuller 40k hardly worth the paper to print the contract on.
Namworld: Since it's about 18 bucks of dogecoins, it's probably worth the paper, just not the time.
Namworld: Unless you print on gold sheets

ThickAsThieves: <+fluffypony> csshih: https://www.yahoo.com/tech/the-triatholight-a-300-hour-flashlight-that-seems-too-84489515654.html <- thoughts? /// yknow, a good scam here would be to include some battery power under the hood, fooling people to wow at its initial duration of use, then they put it away for a year like every other flashlight and forget about it
asciilifeform: ThickAsThieves: the 'battery assist' circuit is an ordinary voltage multiplier.
asciilifeform: so long as you can keep the output voltage above the junction minimum of the leds, you have some light
asciilifeform: for some reason i thought this was standard on led flashlights, but possibly the chinese omit it.
asciilifeform: likewise, since a switched voltage regulator ('boost reg' for hardware people) is not 100% efficient,
asciilifeform: this is necessarily a poorer use of the batteries than the traditional version of several 1.5v cells in series.
asciilifeform: it does, however, allow you to drain them completely
asciilifeform: (as you could in a classical, incandescent flashlight)
