mircea_popescu: speaking of which : i had
a proper bleue davout! quarter inch cooked on each side, one inch pure cold red inside
mircea_popescu: i know for
a fact my knowledge of welting and bruising helped cooking
mircea_popescu: davout it's
a svn, you should be able to zoom natively
nubbins`: which is
a really nice feature for your employees to have
nubbins`: but because it implies the holder is willing to waste time in pursuit of
a "maybe"
nubbins`: TBF i don't think i have
a chance as
a chef anyway
nubbins`: TBF this gave me
a serious case of the o.Os
nubbins`: so the old man brings in 12 wooden blanks for turning pens, and
a blindfold.
nubbins`: skills like this, i have
a soft spot for
nubbins`: with
a decade and
a half of wine tasting under his belt
nubbins`: but srs, i've given
a glass of wine to
a L2 sommelier and he told me /which country and which grape/ it was made from
assbot: Logged on 26-03-2014 03:27:12; asciilifeform: re: commoditized 'innovation' - here's
a snipped from me turdbox. translation of
a page in pelevin's epic 'snuff' (the one with s/ukraine/orkaine, 'orcs', etc)
nubbins`: mircea_popescu being
a sommelier is pretty boring.
nubbins`: if you see an old man at the grocery store, walking around the produce section and picking up and smelling EVERYTHING, they're probably
a sommelier
assbot: Logged on 27-04-2015 13:47:48; asciilifeform: i must confess that i have
a rather pessimistic view of the sommelier thing because the feedstock is already mind-bogglingly scarce, and the market has been flooded with crud for long enough that -everyone with serious experience has the bulk of his serious experience with crud-
williamdunne: mircea_popescu: I don't think they are actively trying to compensate, just
a side effect
mircea_popescu: the police are trying to compensate, what with the random raping of middle class derps, but it's really
a toothpick in
a levy breach
williamdunne: mircea_popescu: Well thats hard to summarize with
a formulae as its relative. Normally I would favour the person who was most productive prior to said violence
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yeah but yu're
a deductive nut. whereas the job of
a sommelier is ipso definitio inductive.
mircea_popescu: well, "just" only exists in
a certain context. in the context of violence itself, there's no space for more functions than "DidItHappen()" which returns
a bool.
assbot: Logged on 27-04-2015 10:29:33; mircea_popescu: because nobody knows about computer parts quite like the people doing procurement for
a datacenter. so if you run your own metal and sublet to people, you're in the best position to learn these exactly.
mircea_popescu: there's
a space between "x is bad" and "x shouldn't have happened".
jurov: i mean i have worked in
a colo cage before, but never build one from scratch
williamdunne: asciilifeform: Yeah, I'd like to see one not operated by
a tool
williamdunne: asciilifeform: No I mean literally what does it mean,
a bitcoin web-hosting company?
assbot: Logged on 27-04-2015 10:29:08; mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes / asciilifeform : re "build an exhaustive knowledge of every company that has ever made computer parts and an exhaustive understanding of which parts were made well and not at which point in time." << the correct approach to this is to do what mp has been saying needs doing for ages and start
a bitcoin hoster.
mircea_popescu: as
a government, all you can get is beta males and menopausal females.
mircea_popescu: besides,
a little bit of violence would go
a very long way towards resolving most of the western problems currently.
williamdunne: Because if more people are able to keep their funds away from government tendrils, it seems like it would do more damage than
a few. While
a few people have
a lot of money to hide,
a lot of people can be turned against them (i.e "evil tax avoiders") and violence works
mircea_popescu: then OboombaIII is more than welcome to use all his cards for all the benefits he wants, whatever they may be. it won't be food, but hey,
a rich life of the mind doth not require material contraptions.
mircea_popescu: because no matter what, govt will keep getting that money, and keep seeing him as
a worthy expense.
mircea_popescu: "Another part is
a distributed marketplace for dispute resolution based on smart contracts."
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo i wonder if gay sites have
a serious problem with supplying enough bottoms.
mircea_popescu: so fucking stupid this. who the shit would enter into
a contract with justus ranvier and why exactly ?
BingoBoingo: On the typical USian dating site, gender matters. Other than on grinder the dating site will rarely ever have
a shortage of dicks.

Naphex: you use binarySearch with
a Time-Price to find the insertion point for your order. Thus your list/map will always be sorted
williamdunne: Naphex: True, I still need to take
a proper look at that
Naphex: williamdunne: and with binary insert it can do
a lot more then tha
davout: williamdunne: not really, if the theoretical number is that different from the actual one, you have
a problem
davout: yep, because you know, what's really needed and important is that they're able to match 1m orders/s instead
a meager 10k orders/s
mircea_popescu: <davout> williamdunne: some dudes made some code for
a matching engine, not really noteworthy << actually it's the most oversupplied intem in stock.
davout: Naphex: there's this mono thing by miguel de icaza iirc, no idea if it's still
a thing tho
Naphex: williamdunne: what davout said. C# is
a disadvantage though. You'd have to be crazy to run trading infrastructure on windows sesrvers
davout: jurov: yea, i subscribed
a few times but never received
a confirmation
davout: williamdunne: some dudes made some code for
a matching engine, not really noteworthy
mircea_popescu: i might be the only one left doing things this way, but afaik the way is, you give the woman
a task. she either does it or doesn't.
cazalla: he actually took
a few days off of okcupid because of it.. "Naturally, I reported that conversation for abusive behaviour and I took
a break from the site for
a few days because frankly I was not expecting that and was
a bit shaken from the experience."
mircea_popescu: broadly speaking, anything without the lego quality is not
a real thing, but
a toy. that's what the "no user serviceable parts inside" sticker communicates to the world : this is not
a tool, this is
a toy.
mircea_popescu:
a laptop is
a toy, like
a phone or
a xbox, something kids that aren't smart enough / rich enough to own computers get for xmas from their weird uncles.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes "If Macintosh laptops (long held up as the gold standard of quality in personal computing) " << nobody ever held
a laptop as an acceptable form of personal computing. let alone any sort of standard.
mircea_popescu: lmao c3 drove
a secession in the us across east/west lines ?! who knew that thing's so brittle and easily fractured.
mircea_popescu: because nobody knows about computer parts quite like the people doing procurement for
a datacenter. so if you run your own metal and sublet to people, you're in the best position to learn these exactly.

a year ago. Your Web of Trust is more like the real one, that proceeded mywot by over
a decade, right?
assbot: Logged on 27-04-2015 03:47:35; EllieAsksWhy: I am still not convinced that Blythe Masters is truly
a "master" of derivatives. She seems more like an investment banker/ figurehead.

mircea_popescu: cazalla gave you folks more disk. half
a gig went pretty fast eh o.O
ben_vulpes: "Minaj pulled out of Hot 97’s Summer Jam after
a DJ criticized Roman’s smash EDM-styled single “Starships” as something other than “real hip-hop.” Lil Wayne and the rest of Young Money canceled their performance at the show as well, in solidarity." << heh.
pete_dushenski: ;;later tell jurov ah yes, that's
a niggle that's been bugging me too. thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
Vexual: so whaddaya get, some rib fillet, or half
a cow?
EllieAsksWhy: I will peruse. Y'all will probably be amused by this, but I tried to get myself here by getting an account at one of those bitcoin gambling sites, Satoshi Dice or such. I thought that if I could get an ID there, I could figure out how to use it as
a EllieAsksWhy: Hello, hanbot! This is me linkedin.com/in/4lisa I probably shouldn't do this, but I'm looking for
a job and unfortunately, that requires using my real full name.
EllieAsksWhy: Hah, hah re "The proxy links became
a thing to discourage people from dropping honeypot links to harvest home ips to DoS". This isn't
a good place for Blythe Masters.
Adlai: it's like taking pictures of
a baby
EllieAsksWhy: Adlai, this is
a lovely description "directed acyclic graphs. you'll notice the logs include lots of disjoint conversations, peppered with links to previous messages, themselves including links to previous messages... nonlinearity is the norm"
BingoBoingo: EllieAsksWhy: The proxy links became
a thing to discourage people from dropping honeypot links to harvest home ips to DoS
BingoBoingo: EllieAsksWhy: The bit.ly links are the links people put in channel, but with
a free proxy service
