pankkake: yeah - I just document all those cases
pankkake: I would suspect something with the host
mircea_popescu: the trade engine doesn't really keep that much, plus, tons of memory and cpu, which i think helps.
pankkake: takes 24h for me :( but I guess mpex doesn't have as much data
mircea_popescu: (this actually happened a number of times, most recently about 3 days ago. i even said so, at the time)
pankkake: I mean the time to obtain a hard drive if you don't have a spare (and the time to rebuild)
pankkake: jurov: anything's possible, I came close once but no
pankkake: I don't know what you are doing with the raids, but scrubing the raid and checking smart data regularly could probably reduce those kind of occurences

benkay: well i certainly don't hire masters degree holders to stand by the crank and turn it all day
asciilifeform: benkay: the more school you've had, the less i'll pay you << how does this work? do you hire detectives to ferret out folks with secret diplomas?
benkay: http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2014/07/09/article-2685918-1F81EC6600000578-372_634x770.jpg
benkay: actually i think i'm going to hire people to execute on curricula of my own design.
benkay: i declined to continue to conversation.
benkay: i told her that we have an inverted education incentive structure - the more school you've had, the less i'll pay you.
HyperChetty: <mircea_popescu> at this rate being a camwhore will be more respectable than being a scientist within our lifetimes.// I thought it already was

mircea_popescu: i mean, the girl being a good slave may die trying
mircea_popescu: no dude i don't want an ersatz.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: can i now order her to unperiodize herself << minor nitpick. this is actually possible.
mircea_popescu: i thought you had just said i was sovereign.
mircea_popescu: decimation so suppose i want to go down on her and she says her period started this morning. can i now order her to unperiodize herself ?
decimation: depends which government you live under, but assuming anarchy, I would say you are
mircea_popescu: decimation suppose i have a slavegirl. am i sovereign over her or aren't i ?

decimation: yeah I don't see any way out of the problem other than having a king/judge make subjective decisions backed up with the threat of violence
decimation: yeah I think Carlyle would agree with you: "Deduct what they carried with them from England ready-made, -- their common English Language and that same Constitution, or rather elixir of constitutions, their inveterate and now, as it were inborn, reverence for the Constable's Staff; two quite immense attainments which England had to spend much blood, and valiant sweat of brow and brain, for centuries long in achieving; -- and what new
mircea_popescu: "i don't have to beat them personaly but merely remind them of how their parents beat them"
decimation: I guess this is where you go to the King and plead your case

mircea_popescu: negotiation is, "i'll give you this silver for that pear"
mircea_popescu: and as i tell my neighbours that complain about my music, "either get lost or i'm going to kill you"
mircea_popescu: as i generally tell my neighbours that listed to the music too loud, "either turn it off or i'm going to kill you".
decimation: I suspect if you tried to build a new refinery to burn it more cleanly they would protest that too
decimation: it seems to me that if oil is so cheap, it should be burned for power, but I suspect USG has banned that too (to do it cheaply)
mircea_popescu: i guess 2 a gallon was unsustainable after all.
decimation: I wonder if this has to do with the oil distribution infrastructure in the us
decimation: I'm sure that they used the power of science to err by 96%

mike_c: i don't mind no macros, and i'm surprised you like them. macros are the death of readability.

ThickAsThieves: the more i read financial news, the less i believe it
ThickAsThieves: benkay i'm pretty sure i just read an article that said the opposite of what you just pasted
mod6: to break the tie? i agree, penalty kicks are a shitty way to end a game.

mod6: 30 minutes of extra time now, if still scoreless, i guess they go to penalty kicks

HyperChetty: maybe I heard some shouts
benkay: http://online.wsj.com/articles/fed-sets-october-end-for-bond-buying-1404928864 // i thought the bond purchases were still in full force?
mircea_popescu: but i'd count it as a major personal failure if i somehow ended up going home with them in the first place.
mircea_popescu: someone with no books i'd fuck. someone with a shitton of "social studies" and assorted crap published the past century i definitely wouldn't
mircea_popescu: nubbins` i much prefer clueless-ignorant women to misguided-ignorant women.
nubbins`: alf, i bet you've got quite the collection of books in your study
asciilifeform: 'In France protesters fired an RPG-7 grenade-launcher at the reactor of a nuclear power station. Where they got the Soviet-made weapon I do not know. Perhaps it was just lying there at the roadside. But if it was a spetsnaz officer who had the good fortune to meet those people and provide them with their hardware, he would without further ado have been given a Red Banner medal and promotion. The senior officers
nubbins`: in fact, that french rocket attack article was published 10 days before i was born ;o
mircea_popescu: woa dude you look old. i always saw you as this peter pan sorta 22 yo
nubbins`: so i printed some nice big 18x24" posters today
mircea_popescu: i mean unless they've got actual bunker busters they're no treaching the core. so...
mircea_popescu: i wonder what these people think hitting a nuclear plant will do.
rithm: i'm an enabler
rithm: i'd like to take that back

mircea_popescu: "Bobynin's voice rang like metal on metal. 'I can see the difference between you and me: you need me, but I don't need you.'"
mircea_popescu: was about to bitch about it, but then i realised there's wisdom in moiety's terseness.
benkay: <mircea_popescu> i wonder why this is a common mistake // it turns out that making interfaces that normal humans find intuitive is actually hard.
assbot: So many places I wish I could be now. Buddy's bachelor party. NRA annual meeting. AmRen conference. But alas, low on funds :(
mircea_popescu: anyway, all our friend needs to do now is look up to see who's doing the speculative attacks against the dollar and he'll be like i dunno... five steps ahead of the crowd ?
mircea_popescu: i like how people keep pretending like they got an option and whatnot.
