mircea_popescu decimation hm ? [06:53]
decimation the rengan rajaratnam dude [06:55]
decimation "It seems unlikely that he?d have been hired at Galleon were he not Raj Rajaratnam?s brother. Even then, his older brother demoted him several times and he made less money there than some secretaries." [06:55]
dub !isitdown mpex.co [06:55]
mircea_popescu it's down. [06:56]
mircea_popescu "That seems to have been the end of the courtship. (Mr. Palecek died from an infection in 2010.)" << the rate at which these people die of preventable causes is ridiculous. seriously, work for supposedly the masters of the country, best paid job, corridors of power, die of "an infection" ? [06:57]
decimation yeah that was amusing too [06:58]
decimation I guess they ran out of nailguns [06:58]
benkay well exactly. something bound by accidental inhalation on the lower end and hernias on the higher // 6-8 axis arm on an actuated sphere. hernias not an issue, follows one around. [06:59]
decimation mircea this insider trading thing is relevant to your post I linked above. information doesn't want to be free, but who gets to decide if it is secret? [07:00]
Vexual those that have it [07:01]
mircea_popescu that problem is a lot worse than anyone wants to admit. [07:01]
benkay mircea_popescu: well keep la serenissima posted [07:01]
mircea_popescu there's simply no logical way to reconcile the naive want for "fairness" with the practicality of trade. [07:01]
mircea_popescu "insider trading" is what trading is. irrespective of what people who don't trade wish to think trading is. [07:02]
mircea_popescu much like you know, trying to prosecute "buggery" because people who don't have sex don't want to think of sex in terms of "all holes, dp and your girlfriend". as if. [07:02]
decimation yeah what is trading without "insider" knowledge? trades based on an account's report and a brochure? [07:03]
decimation I can't imagine a way to be more ignorant about a business and its prospects [07:03]
mircea_popescu benkay so far fighting with the obscurity of free and open source software, which is this endless bundle fifty million lines long that nobody ever read, in spite of you know, how "open source" etc. [07:04]
mircea_popescu decimation now granted, what the indians are doing in the us finance (btw, have you noticed how few 3rd generation americans are involved in anything worth the mention ?) is nothing short of scandalous [07:04]
mircea_popescu however, the solution is emphatically NOT to try and prosecute them, because this just drives the specific behaviours enshrined in indian culture that cause the mess. [07:05]
mircea_popescu the solution is to open the whole thing, let the market drive it down to zero, then you won't care someone made fifty bucks or w/e. [07:05]
decimation and note that Mr. Bharara is also one of them... [07:05]
mircea_popescu yeah. it's that whole "italian mobster turned policeman to clean up ny" story all over again [07:06]
mircea_popescu (which was the same cca 1890, except then it was irish criminal etc) [07:06]
decimation in my undergrad it was assumed knowledge that the indians got together to "strategize" on exam-taking [07:06]
decimation in India, it would probably be expected for a Brahmin C-suite guy to tell a fellow Brahmin trader what is going on [07:07]
benkay mircea_popescu: that nobody ever read // it's p lulzy people still buy that [07:07]

mike_c are those buds? i'm looking more for over-ear. [07:18]

mike_c it's phat [07:32]
mircea_popescu mike_c makes it quite impossible to get the wrong change. [07:33]

mircea_popescu once you get the bitches you have no attention to spare. [07:35]
mike_c hehe. that's why i stick with one. [07:35]
dub 3rd world money tends to either be shit quality or stay in circulation long enough to wear any markings off [07:35]

mike_c no way. ben lawsky is going to make america the center of btc bizness [07:36]
decimation I would like to see the basis of his regulation [07:37]
decimation like, how is bitcoin different than plain speech? [07:37]
decimation if it isn't different, how is it legal for the government to regulate it, state or federal? [07:37]
Vexual afik aust was the first to deploy polymer banknotes [07:38]
mike_c idk.. ever since 9/11 the goverment just regulates whatever the fuck it wants. [07:38]
decimation if there's an exception for "game" currencies, how does one demonstrate that bitcoin is demonstrably different than a "game" currency? [07:38]
decimation lol more like ever since lincoln [07:38]
mircea_popescu decimation you don't need basis for regulation. [07:38]
mircea_popescu that's why regulation is taking over legislation as a normative process. [07:38]
Vexual fucking giuliani [07:39]
mircea_popescu decimation anyway, one doesn't "demonstrate". one claims, and prays nobody calls the bluff. [07:39]
mircea_popescu which is why the 100% conviction-through-plea-bargain system is so important. [07:39]
mike_c this doesn't work quite as well with companies. Lyft is testing this in NYC by blatantly ignoring all their regulations and fighting the state in court. [07:40]
mike_c results TBD [07:41]
mircea_popescu but anyway. the 2012 peg in the eye of the beast has been holding out splendidly well. they're trying to enact this difference between game currencies and bitcoin, and who knows, maybe it'll work. who;s to say that's the last peg trilema go. [07:41]

mircea_popescu anyway, one of the comparatively more important btc valuations is, "cost incurred by the usg litigating per btc available to defendant". [07:46]

decimation mircea: the usg tends to maximally claim & minimally deliver [07:47]
decimation if bitcoin goes up another one or two orders of magnitude in dollar value, it will be that much worse for the usg to do anything [07:48]
Vexual mike_c get rabbit fur bads for extra boss [07:49]
decimation my sennheisers have detachable cables too, although the oem cable was crap - conductors broke after awhile [07:50]
mike_c they actually have velvet ones. http://www.amazon.com/ATH-M50-PADS-Velvet-pads-ATH-M50-headphones/dp/B00GTR2ICQ [07:50]
assbot Amazon.com: ATH-M50-PADS - One Pair Black Velvet ear pads for ATH-M20x, ATH-M30x, ATH-M40x, ATH-M50, ATH-M50s, ATH-M50RD, ATH-M50WH, ATH-M50x, ATH-M50xBL, ATH-M50xWH: Electronics [07:50]
decimation according to their spec sheet, the ath m50's only go down to 15 hz, the sennehiser hd280's go down to 8 Hz [07:51]
decimation that's going to be more audible than whatever the top frequency in the ultrasonic band is [07:51]
mike_c hm. ath has lower impedance. [07:52]
decimation human hearing being a logrithmically spaced filter bank and all [07:52]
decimation impedance is a matter of what you are connecting with [07:52]
mike_c yeah. won't matter for computer. [07:53]
mike_c could matter for phone? [07:53]
mike_c probably not. [07:53]
decimation my guess is no [07:53]
decimation impedance actually varies with frequency, which no one gives a spec for [07:53]
decimation in a basic sense, impedance mismatch will just lower the effective power delivered to the headphones [07:54]
decimation so turn them up, etc [07:54]
mike_c right, phone can only deliver so much though. but probably enough for either. [07:54]

decimation https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4388969?start=195&tstart=0 [07:55]
assbot iPhone 5 headphone volume too low | Apple Support Communities [07:55]
decimation "The issue as I understand it is that the output impedance of the iPhone 5 is around 3.7 ohms whereas the older phones and iPods are around 5.5 ohms. What is not clear is whether this has been changed by software or by hardware. There are reports that this is an issue in the EU region only. Yet some folk in the USA are also complaining." [07:55]
decimation so either headphone is going to have an impedance mismatch [07:55]
decimation because apple has neither the room on their board or the inclination to deliver studio quality audio [07:55]

decimation I suspect the average listening would be unable to differentiate most of these headphones in a blind test [07:59]
decimation s/listening/listener [07:59]
Vexual get the velvet, and if you get too stoned you can hide in the curtains [07:59]
mike_c yeah.. sennheiser doesn't have velvet. [07:59]
decimation if you are going to use them for 8 hours per day in the office, comfort is probably more important than audio quality [08:00]
mike_c it is, but that is difficult to know before trying for 8 hours [08:00]
decimation indeed, I guess the solution is buy one and sell it on craigslist if it sucks [08:01]
Vexual for $120 try a fresh set [08:01]
mike_c yes. or return it. [08:01]

cazalla mike_c, didn't know they had an m50x, i still think i'd go the m50s due to no coil and i would likely lose the cable if i could detach it anyway [08:22]
dub fresh out of glenfiddich but I'm now sipping a glenrothes, good suggestion [08:23]
cazalla Vexual, i think aus was first, i still have some of the first abo polymer notes around somewhere [08:24]
mike_c cazalla: m50s is cheaper too, just b/c it isn't 'current year model'. sound is supposed to be the same. [08:25]
cazalla you can get the m50s for around $100 on special sometimes [08:25]
Vexual d'you keep your rabbit skins cazalla? [08:27]
cazalla no but i should [08:27]

decimation although, the first practical test of any source of random numbers is to get a large quantity of them and see if there are any repeats [22:50]

decimation I guess I was picturing "determinism" as "God sets the outcome of the quark-dicerolls in the way He sees fit" [23:11]
sheldonthomas disappointing, albeit understandable [23:11]
mircea_popescu "The U.S. government is rapidly expanding the number of names it accepts for inclusion on its terrorist watch list, with more than 1.5 million added in the last five years, according to numbers divulged by the government in a civil lawsuit." << hey asciilifeform look at that! what was gulag, 50mn ? [23:11]
mircea_popescu sheldonthomas what's disappointing you mean ? [23:12]
mircea_popescu decimation a ok, then yes, pure determinism. [23:12]

mircea_popescu obviously if one applied the same standards to quarks as it does to bitcoins, one could never trust the fucking quark. obviously quark-nsa is behind it. [23:13]

decimation re: scp/ssh user interface << Herr Moldbug's rant on this topic is apropos: http://unqualified-reservations.blogspot.com/2009/07/wolfram-alpha-and-hubristic-user.html "The error is that control interfaces must not be intelligent. Briefly, intelligent user interfaces should be limited to applications in which the user does not expect to control the behavior of the product. If the product is used as a tool, its interface should be as [23:17]

mircea_popescu "I actually have been thrilled to see that finally there is movement to replace the straight access to /dev/random and /dev/urandom: Ted's patch to implement a getrandom() system call that can be made compatible with OpenBSD's own getentropy() in user space. And even more I'm happy to see that at least one of the OpenBSD/LibreSSL developers pitching in to help shape the interface. [23:38]
mircea_popescu Dropping out the egd support made me puzzled for a moment, but then I realized that there is no point in using egd to feed the randomness to the process, you just need to feed entropy to the kernel, and let the process get it normally. I have had, unfortunately, quite a bit of experience with entropy-generating daemons, and I wonder if this might be the right time to suggest getting a new multi-source daemon out." << a [23:38]
