herbijudlestoids: mostly i write the puppet modules and we hire meatsacks to watch errors

herbijudlestoids: when i say NSA i dont mean NSA so much as any sigint that has permissions for global ops

herbijudlestoids: somehow i feel like the NSA is probably quite competent enough considering the resources at their disposal ;)

herbijudlestoids: the way i see it workin gis something like this: FBI discovers new online drug marketplace, probably tipped off from dutch intelligence or similar agency who actually has the knowhow. they poke it, cant de-anon it, and so they call up the NSA to take a poke. initial pokes are unsuccessful so they go all out against it.

herbijudlestoids: i see

herbijudlestoids: iv got "So this urbit thing" and "People have made blogs" saved in my list, as well as "The stuff all good conspiracy theories start with" because i wanna see the photo of MPOE-PR :P

herbijudlestoids: mircea_popescu: which link? i happen to be retarded and often forget things that i dont immediately note down

herbijudlestoids: i guess the barrier to entry is just too low

herbijudlestoids: mircea_popescu: i just kind of assumed that anyone who wanted to setup a website like that might be the kind of person who knows even the first thing about security

herbijudlestoids: i still really cant believe the security behind silk road was so fucken poor

herbijudlestoids: if they manage to take that one down i will be impressed

herbijudlestoids: but there is a new one i read about, running on i2p

herbijudlestoids: mircea_popescu: i did, after reading about how silk road went down they wer eall so fucking stupid

herbijudlestoids: can i buy it off you for -3BTC?

herbijudlestoids: i was looking forward to scooping up the entire company

herbijudlestoids: yo, so based on the bitcointalk forum, which is i assume populated by heavily qualified financial analysts, wasnt the price of MPOE supposed to be "negative" this morning?

herbijudlestoids: mircea_popescu: nothing, its just kind of what i would like to do :P

herbijudlestoids: has anyone come up with any useful use cases for urbit? all i could think of was a mutt clone lol ☟︎

herbijudlestoids: mircea_popescu: my official job title is Director of Cloud Operations, so i like to think i know something :)

herbijudlestoids: i wish cunts would stop hyping bitcloud :(

herbijudlestoids: somehow i doubt most kickstarters would be considered viable by mircea_popescu for listing though :P

herbijudlestoids: i guess its probly more efficient for the economy for people to fund bad ideas directly than have to buy junk bonds in the bad ideas

herbijudlestoids: i personally dont disagree, but interesting to hear someone from BoE say that technology could kill banking

herbijudlestoids: i guess this is the article he was referencing http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/newsbysector/banksandfinance/9749573/Crowdfunding-could-revolutionise-lending-says-Andrew-Haldane.html

herbijudlestoids: this interview is supposedly about decentralisation of energy but seems to cover the idea that crowdfunding, p2p lending etc: "Even the assistant director general of the Bank of England, Andy Haldane has said this is showing signs of becoming such a trend, such a potential mega-trend, that it could disenfranchise the main banks, the high street banks in the way that I think some of these trends in renewable energy

herbijudlestoids: mircea_popescu: hmm not sure i understood what you mean? all i was saying is i need to work the timestamps into my script so that R correctly interprets them and makes it easy for me to have timestamped graphs

herbijudlestoids: for example today i learned i need to rbind with timestamps in the timeseries

herbijudlestoids: right now its about 5 commands when i wake up, id like to just get an email of the graphics

herbijudlestoids: mircea_popescu: yes, i guess what im trying to do right now is see what needs to happen in my data processing scripts etc to make this automated and easy for me

herbijudlestoids: so, todays "i hope this even remotely is interesting" timeseries is the un-annualised rolling 20 tick volatility of 20 tick returns for ~1wk http://imgur.com/ncCX4Mq
