auto-appendektomy - like seppuku but double the work. |

well no. seppuku aims to open the large liver vein. apendectomy, oppositely, to not open it. |
| 02:46 |
asciilifeform |
in historic overviews of seppuku, the thing that always caught my eye was the slow progression from honest full-out gut deposition to the late-meiji (and 20th c. - see herr mishima) token slice followed by 'kaishaku' beheading stroke. |

and how that would definitely not allow any hft stuff to go down |
| 04:27 |
ryguy_` |
anyway. bigtime respectable thing you guys got going on here. especially the trash talking which is just brilliant. and settling with the SEC, wth. i cant even really find any reading on that SEC issue though |
| 04:27 |
mircea_popescu |
ryguy_`> do you think high frequency trading or polling type strategies would or will be prominent ? < in a word, no. |
| 04:28 |
mircea_popescu |
ryguy_` short version : guy retired his mpex issue. sec desperately wanted to purchase some relevance, so they tied some blown glbse/twitter offering he had with the mpex offering, and pretended like they scored some sort of victory. |
| 04:29 |
mircea_popescu |
this is so transparently ridiculous half the bureaucracy is laughing at them, leaving aside wall street and the people not actually involved in the us nuthouse. |
| 04:29 |
mircea_popescu |
but hey, working for the govt means you gotta eat the shit you gotta eat. |
| 04:29 |
ryguy_` |
i worked at a firm and we had to keep all the records incase the SEC guys showed up |
| 04:31 |
ryguy_` |
so this dude just gave back some kind of equity shares in mpex or a listed company like a retired couple gives back a condo timeshare |
| 04:31 |
ryguy_` |
he conducted some other transaction and SEC claimed those shares were apart of that other transaction ? |
| 04:31 |
mircea_popescu |
mkay, it's like so. guy made a "feedzebirds" thing, which he listed on glbse, which simply imploded. |
| 04:32 |
ryguy_` |
yeah |
| 04:32 |
mircea_popescu |
guy listed sd on mpex. about a year later, he claimed someone bought it and so it was delisted. mpex shareholders received a negotiated, fair compensation and it was the end of the matter. |
| 04:32 |
mircea_popescu |
the sec got a 20k settlement for the former, and is pretending it got a settlement for the pair. |
| 04:33 |
mircea_popescu |
this is fine, inasmuch as it has no ill effect and increases the general supply of lulz, |

| 07:17 |

p2pools always seem to have issues - what was yours? |
| 07:19 |

I was mining but it was rejecting my submissions, or maybe just not registering them. I forgot |
| 07:19 |
RagnarDanneskjol |
slow/inconsistent shares are to be expected unless you have 100% uptime |
| 07:20 |
pankkake |
yeah, I know |
| 07:21 |
BingoBoingo |
It was picked because it seemed to suck least for the purpose here, and getting paid in the coinbase tx makes it easy to verify payments |
| 07:22 |
RagnarDanneskjol |
I know more than a few highly competent pool hosts if this one proves unreliable |
| 07:23 |
RagnarDanneskjol |
I could almost do it myself, but not quite |
| 07:23 |
BingoBoingo |
Well, it's worked so far which is a timeline which stretches back to... this past weekend |
| 07:23 |
RagnarDanneskjol |
OH |
| 07:23 |
BingoBoingo |
I mean the pool is much older than that |
| 07:24 |
RagnarDanneskjol |
I see |
| 07:24 |
BingoBoingo |
It's just since ATC stalled out it was the only pool that was responsive to our rented hash |
| 07:24 |
RagnarDanneskjol |
gotcha - I'll work on that |
| 07:25 |
BingoBoingo |
And the p2pool type paying with the coinbase tx is very desirable, if it were replaced or needed to be replaced, that is a thing I'd like to see |
| 07:25 |
RagnarDanneskjol |
sure |
| 07:32 |
BingoBoingo |
For now though it seems the simplest explanation is prolly the rig's down |
| 07:32 |
BingoBoingo |
Byt X-Rob explained there's some stuff this pool does that isn't optimal... so a replacement wouldn't be horrible down the line |
| 07:32 |
BingoBoingo |
X-rob would have to explain what the not-quite optimal stuff is |
| 07:33 |
RagnarDanneskjol |
I'd almost bet $ its the pool, but are they not one in the same provider? |

Ok - I spoke to Mark with his charming british acent -they are a little backlogged, but can deliver pools in 36-48 hours, also offer cloud mining contracts. These guys are fukin pro.. Imma follow up with email to you guys w/ details. Worth giving them a call just to hear what they're up to. |

For me, one of the most interesting features of a water fast is that your body will cut down on it's extraneous muscle mass as well as body fat. I will have to try it one of these days |
| 11:33 |

When I read that it gave me a number of ideas |
| 11:33 |
nubbins` |
"extraneous muscle mass" |
| 11:33 |
usagi |
I mean it sounds obvious, but actually, the way in which the body goes about reducing it's muscle mass is something which is fascinating to me |

nubbins` feigns interest |
| 11:40 |
nubbins` |
oh, no way? cool |
| 11:40 |
usagi |
Yea it has to do with your body overcompensating for keeping it's balance (for example) by adding extra muscle mass to groups of muscles in reciprocal inhibition, mass you don't need and which interferes with your motion |
| 11:41 |
usagi |
My theory is if you perform certain kinds of exercises your body will cut out the extraneous muscle mass inhibiting your motion and you will be able to move/respond quicker using less energy. Useful for sports |
| 11:42 |
usagi |
I also imagine the restriction would also allow you to increase or reduce the ratio of fast twitch fibres, because theoretically the body wouldn't toss out muscle mass which is being frequently used |

I did my bitbet app without decimals, didn't notice a problem |

that's cause buttcoins were designed to round cleanly after simple computation with doubles |

We analyzed this bug and found that it if exploited, an attacker can cause a wallet to show incorrect balances. However, an attacker must spend bitcoin to do so. |
| 17:55 |
BingoBoingo |
My gosh, are you guys totally unaware that hundreds or thousands of services use your API to may check balances and provide services on top of it? What the hell are you guys doing. This guy is reporting a vulnerability for free and you act ignorant. Do you want somebody to exploit such vulns without reporting and blockchain ending up like emptygox? |

the .22 (for non-usians, the familiar 'olympic' caliber) rifle is also explained by cost: roughly 1/2 - 1/3 of a 'proper' m16. low pressure round, can use garbage metals. |

Nothing to do with caliber, in the AR/M-16 style rifle the entire upper switches out with the removal of pins and replacement of bolt carrier springs. As long as the new caliber round is no longer than 45mm it works. |

one day he got really spunky, and his three bear wives ran off in this peculiar manner of females whose cunt is sore. |

along side the bezzlatron, there exists the system whereby actual food is delivered, water, fuel, mains current, etc. is piped. |

I actually think the endgame a portion in Ferguson seeks is a police department like East St Louis's which see falling crime in spite of near complete inactio |

inhabitants of a newly-minted bantustan are usually invited to handle these matters on their own. |
