decimation: I donno. if there is some theoretical anti-ddos filter, it might try to limit its action to certain subnets?
mircea_popescu: and im not even sure that i can do anything about it other than write angry letters.
mircea_popescu: decimation the best i can come up with is that yes, some weakly router that is nevertheless for insane unexplainable reason priority route from the us is constantly fucked up
mircea_popescu: how the fuck would i see pages on a crashed server anyway.
decimation: I donno, it smells to me like a server problem
mircea_popescu: also, re earlier discussion : http://i.imgur.com/0C5fmGB.jpg
mircea_popescu: the heck can i see it then ?
decimation: interestingly I'm getting pings through, very very slowly
mircea_popescu: Adlai: now that's an interesting hypothesis to test: a bot lurks and tracks "shortest path" to each past message, then records when i link it as opposed to somebody else links it to me <<< actually a reconstruction of the ba logs where lines are nodes and they're given pr as per original google mechanism may be the first step towards stemming this whole bundle.
The20YearIRCloud: I know I joke about owning slum houses, but they're all actually very nice. I underprice our rentals by maybe 5%-10% under normal market prices, and keep em in slightly better shape.
The20YearIRCloud: Here's a bunch of random photos I had on my cellphone - https://www.dropbox.com/sc/rpzhm6eb5c14upe/AADe8OLgg4k-LFt2Xs3No9CEa
decimation: yeah I guess where you are there is no water or sewage
decimation: I recall you saying a few months ago that they are all really old
The20YearIRCloud: I haven't delt with trailers yet, I want to but it's a different deal since you have to develop them out (including sewage) which is an EPA deal you can't get around easily.
decimation: I guess you gotta pay for utilities, etc in that case
The20YearIRCloud: of course the scale of markets is quite different. In the 4 counties I expect to be able to find maybe 200 quality properties a year. In franklin I could find 200 a month easily.
decimation: I imagine property tax in columbus and the 'burbs is sky high too
The20YearIRCloud: So, if I can go into a neighborhood where they really don't want me there, and one where the city bends over backwards to try and help me out, i'll go with the second one
The20YearIRCloud: I had a house up there I was dealing with for someone, and I had roofers up there doing work. Zoning came by and complained that we hadn't bought the $100 permit, so they forced the guys off the roof even though it was going to rain soon and wouldn't let them put the tarp up there till there was a permit.
decimation: I've heard the short north is popular with the kids around osu
The20YearIRCloud: (Of course, I'd of got a permit in Franklin, but I hate the idea of it all).
The20YearIRCloud: One of the counties we're in has virtually no permiting process for home repairs, if I did the stuff I'm doing there in Columbus I'd of had 5 figures worth of fines.
The20YearIRCloud: Housewise? No, not a fan of their zoning & property inspection board. If we grow enough i'm sure i'll HAVE to go there, but for now i'd like to avoid it.
The20YearIRCloud: That's a website though i think, the sport is an actual magazine in most places
The20YearIRCloud: I love their 'articles', locally we used to have weekly world news, and it went under. However in the UK for some reason tabloids are HUGE there. Along with soap operas
decimation: eh, it could have been. I felt dirty touching the thing, didn't examine it closely
decimation: yeah I guess that's why people don't immediately toss in the rubbish bid
decimation: once when I emerged from the Tube in London I was handed one of those free tabloids by some bum. I was amazed at the extremely low quality writing, and pro-welfare ads
cazalla: putin v aussie pm - http://i.imgur.com/orNOUF5.png
cazalla: when looking for news, i come across quite a few MLM schemes for bitcoin such as bitcoincycler.net, quite a few use pic/video of JuliaTourianski_ lol
cazalla: not sure, i just f5 f5 f5 f5 like anyone else
cascadian_lurker: I get no love at either endpoint
thestringpuller: asciilifeform: i understand
assbot: its probably our friend 'little numbers' as i call him. he visited bitbet earlier for a moment.
Adlai: more than any bug i've (inadvertently? subliminally coerced into?) introduced to scalpl, i regret the times that i've manually tweaked its trading parameters, and contaminated its performance data with human idiosyncrasies
Adlai: https://i.imgur.com/cuVBhfh.png?0 "MPOE Net Expenses" snipped from http://www.btcalpha.com/mpex/stocks/s-mpoe/#cash_flow
cazalla: Adlai, i'm up to date on logs now btw
cazalla: i mean, i see the angle given governments but still
Adlai: http://i.imgur.com/cuVBhfh << ie, "advertising costs, PR, and miscellaneous" outweighed "ipo fees" during these months
cazalla: asciilifeform, as much as i appreciate the translation (my primary school teacher died on mh17), it's a bit of a stretch for qntra to publish it as bitcoin news
thestringpuller: but given buterin's waterfall I emptied it out
thestringpuller: i ssh to my spending wallet
Adlai: now that's an interesting hypothesis to test: a bot lurks and tracks "shortest path" to each past message, then records when i link it as opposed to somebody else links it to me
cazalla: Adlai, i read the logs daily, just yet to finish today
Adlai: that is some impressive lazyness, cazalla. i like it.
asciilifeform: message to moscow - can i pleez get thirty coins of silver now.
assbot: Logged on 12-11-2014 00:20:12; mircea_popescu: i don't see you churning out an article a week about how "evil nato" and "nice putin"
Adlai: the article i linked looks just at confirmed transaction count, which is a narrow metric of all the stuff happening across the bitcoin network
mircea_popescu: i thought that's what you were asking about.
mircea_popescu: Adlai i meant, "wtf s.mpoe price does"
mircea_popescu: i like his story best so far.
ben_vulpes: huh i think mine's wedged elsewhere
mircea_popescu: i guess.
ben_vulpes: Adlai: if anything, i'd have expected a surge as those who held mpoe bought more to balance their crypto holdings while accumulating more btc
Adlai: for all i care, it could have risen. i hold none (yet)
Adlai: note that i'm asking less "why did mpoe drop" and more "what evidence supports a correlation as the explanation for the temporal coincidence?"
ben_vulpes: i suspect mpoe acts as a stand in for an mpex market fund
mike_c: i don't have any words of wisdom on mpoe.
mircea_popescu: i was waiting for mike_c's words of wisdom
mircea_popescu: <undata> if I were russia, I'd wait for the US to go balls deep into the middle east again, and then I'd grab some of the north pole's oil, <<< obviously, you're not russia.
undata: and I'd most certainly try to help stir up whatever particular brand of shit the americans can't resist in the middle east
undata: if I were russia, I'd wait for the US to go balls deep into the middle east again, and then I'd grab some of the north pole's oil, and whatever I wanted in eastern ukraine, at least
asciilifeform: i can make one for hitler, what of it
asciilifeform: i don't feel like translating.
nubbins`: i stared at it for like 10 minutes
ben_vulpes: currach is the word i was looking for
mircea_popescu: now if i only had a link to where it was put to rest, to pass along to undata
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: undata: this comes up here at least once a month, and i regret to say that it is mostly my own fault. <<< that it has a good response is mostly your fault. that it appears... it'd have appeared anyway.
ben_vulpes: stuff i've written so far: http://pastebin.com/Zf4T9xF7
ben_vulpes: i don't have a blockchain that wedges yet, nor have i reproduced the wedging point
ben_vulpes: Adlai: additionally, i'm scripting the approach to the wedge point so that i can reproduce both the wedge and it not happening trivially with git bisect and other scripts
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: how much of what is on your computer right now, actually -does- something ? << i guess about half.
ben_vulpes: that i can use to track down potentially unwedging commits i should say.
ben_vulpes: i'm working to crap out a "blockchain" that i can use to test this wedge
ben_vulpes: thestringpuller: i'm still inching my blockchain to wedging
nubbins`: i think "people" were expecting what people always have/will
joecool: asciilifeform: i see, what exactly has been happening? were people expecting gavin to crap out a reference eventually or just keep adding BIP's and pile on the crap?
asciilifeform: joecool: i don't believe that the current participants in turdatron really agree on what the ultimate end product should be (e.g., something like what conformal has, or a hardware implementation - what i want, etc.) but we do agree that a reference implementation is necessary before it even makes sense to ask the question.
nubbins`: .deed http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=eJhsu4D5
nubbins`: notary http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=eJhsu4D5
joecool: hm reading about the assets project to roll back to 0.5.3, i see "rip out bdb" ? drop wallet support so it only functions as node?
asciilifeform: nubbins`: and i shall buy it.
nubbins`: i still want to print this if/when the time comes that the chicken is whittled down to edible meat and bone
asciilifeform: nubbins`: i'm right here.
assbot: Logged on 11-12-2013 00:40:16; asciilifeform: i can't help but imagine some fellow at Meta-NSA, with a pill against ECDSA hidden under a flower pot in his office, laughing his arse off at these morons.
undata: asciilifeform: I am not
undata: I don't see a reason to pull any plugs
TheNewDeal: the only one I can think of is, wait until it gets 10, or 100 times bigger
asciilifeform: i think each of the regulars here has his favourite.
undata: asciilifeform: I don't believe or disbelieve it
asciilifeform: undata: this comes up here at least once a month, and i regret to say that it is mostly my own fault.
ben_vulpes: best argument i've heard.
asciilifeform: i thought this was elementarily obvious.
asciilifeform: i won't use, because i was not privvy to the process whereby it was born.
asciilifeform: (well - at least, i'm not)
Adlai: well, you can't convince another person you're not a martian. hell, i don't think i could convince myself that i'm not unwittingly carrying out martian bidding.
asciilifeform: i hear it's popular.
undata: I'd observe it then try a clean re-implementation
undata: I might not try and use the thing at all.
undata: now I'm supposed to trust your infallible eye
