Naphex: or you have to do a C/C plugin to optimize :P
Apocalyptic: i.e. it will probably spend a tremendous amount of time doing things you don't want it doing
Apocalyptic: you get away from low level // that's almost always a bad thing in performance critical applications
Apocalyptic: exception handlers are a killing performance
Naphex: everything is checked, exceptions everywhere (yes a good thing) :)
Naphex: its not that bad too scale, threading is a breeze
pankkake: fluffypony: yeah. even though, again, I really don't like Java as a developer
pankkake: a selling point of java is its simplicity (I'm gentle, I hate that aspect but well)
Naphex: bounce: well for the trading engine i focused a lot on performance and security
assbot: Need a nickname, wywialm.
bounce: programmer? can you describe your set-up a bit?
gribble: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=hold%20up | hold up. wait a minute! postpone your plans, there's something that must be addressed immediately. hold up, let me grab some munchies before we get goin.
joecool: nubbins`: you buying at all? i need a small amount of CAD
mircea_popescu: it has a history, but no future, just like england has a history, but no future.
wywialm: and hordes of speciffically flavoured keynesians fearing the zero lower bound of interest rates, the called for fiscal expansion as a substitute
bounce: how much for alaska, buying a free state with bitcoin?
mircea_popescu: wywialm many possible reasons. they had a number of local crises brewing for a long time, when your neighbour is arrested for unkempt yard is a good time to do a little lawn mowing in your own.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile it's a lot more complicated, they also peg to the euro, they also peg to a russian synthetic-currency derived out of energy holdings,
wywialm: bonds as a claim
wywialm: i don't believe china would need a pretext if they were sufficiently prepared
wywialm: china banking system is built upon dollar reserves, after they evaporate, china could only use military force. And when it comes to war, any claim can serve only as a pretext
wywialm: i once gave it (the china matter) a thought, and currently i believe it is to weak a claim. in case of default, china would get much much more hurt than us
mircea_popescu: china holding us debt is no sort of statement of confidence in the usg, quite the contrary, it's a claim on its asshole.
joecool: $4k to "pay for the damage" who gets paid $4k to hose off a wall?
pankkake: dexX7: the basics are: reverse dns of sending server should be related to the expeditor domain (or at least be something), and SPF entries are always a plus
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: I have constant issues with customers marking order updates as spam accidentally/on purpose, have that happen a few times and suddenly all customers stop getting emails from your domain
Naphex: mircea_popescu: hehe, will send him a note :] only got 2 extra toothpicks this year:(
asciilifeform: 'NFC technology, you can be certain that the chip inside is exactly your chip- it has a unique authenticity signature, non-clonable, and most usefully, an access counter.' << someone needs 'protocol vs. promise' lesson?
mircea_popescu: time for a raise.
dexX7: fluffypony: it's simply a webhost with mail service which redirects all incomings
Apocalyptic: that's a title you don't see very often
fluffypony: dexX7: btw is this being used programmatically by a system, or is it normal user-generated emails?
dexX7: well, should not be much of a problem, even if it's a blackhole at the moment. thanks fluffy anyway :)
mircea_popescu: bounce as a "map the rot" project this is probably valuable even if it gets no direct results.
bounce: that took a goodly while, though
dexX7: can anyone tell me how google and other providers handle email rejections? i have some trouble with a hoster which i'm using as intermediate hop to relay my mails.. and currently every request/mail is rejected. service said they'll fix it "in the next 24 hours" -.-"
bounce: oh, there's a "not" missing there. duh.
asciilifeform: an answer, you might hear something like this: If it doesn’t collapse within a year, then it might stay up for another two. And if it stays up that long, then it might stay up for another decade. But if it stays up for an entire decade, then it will probably collapse within a year or two of that, because, given its rate of deterioration, at that point it will be entirely unclear what is holding it up.'
asciilifeform: 'predicting that something is going to happen is a lot easier than predicting when something will happen. Suppose you have an old bridge: the concrete is cracked, chunks of it are missing with rusty rebar showing through. An inspector declares it “structurally deficient.” This bridge is definitely going to collapse at some point, but on what date? That is something that nobody can tell you. If you push for
mircea_popescu: bounce here : "like inspecting a building for structural problems or a pipe or aeroplane for hairline cracks or, well, you know. only on the country level. roads, utilities, but also government, how much and what kinds of corruption, that sort of thing. map it out."
mircea_popescu: Naphex aite send me mail from its domain i'll give you a 1 rating
mircea_popescu: bounce i think your methodology is broken, in that it assumes a sort of linear scalability. broken government is not akin to broken windows.
asciilifeform: a (very theoretical) pill against 'black helicopter' etc.
bounce: like inspecting a building for structural problems or a pipe or aeroplane for hairline cracks or, well, you know. only on the country level. roads, utilities, but also government, how much and what kinds of corruption, that sort of thing. map it out.
bounce: IMO there's a larger issue but this is as good a hook as any, and that's that plenty the infrastructure relies on same being present and functional. there's a few ways to guard against that, and we might investigate them all.
Naphex: akamai released a guarded allocator for openssl
Apocalyptic: bounce, there is, like there is a right way to land a plan without engines
mircea_popescu: no violence, massive humiliation, come back in two decades as a major.
bounce: what, there's a right way to collapse?
mircea_popescu: http://cryptome.org/2014/04/home-made-sec.htm << cryptome bravely wades into the public, withoiut a +m

mircea_popescu: "Due to limited supplies, and high demand this item has a 10 piece maximum order quantity per customer, every 1 day." heh

mircea_popescu: Naphex get rated then it's a breeze
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo what's it, like 3 bux a round

wywialm: will ident in a second
mircea_popescu: yeah, you can get regional marks in the us too, for a coupla hundred iirc.
mircea_popescu: a but that's us only.
joecool: mircea_popescu: for a US trademark, i think it cost ~$400 or so
joecool: US trademarks are a lot cheaper
mircea_popescu: fluffypony a few grand.
mircea_popescu: they could have arranged a license back last year, if they had a clue.
mircea_popescu: they have a reciprocity deal so mickey mouse can be owned by disney
mike_c: hah, you against a bunch of geezers :)
mircea_popescu: so today i got to send them a notice that they either self-destruct and apologize or else i'm suing them. in, obviouisly, romanian court.
mircea_popescu: soo, some twerps in spain decided "trilema" sounds kinda cool, started a foundation whatever. i sent them a friendly note about six months ago pointing out that it's a registered trademark and they're playing with fire. which they ignored.
bounce: bit of a recursive fail, that pic
pankkake: Marcel is a beauf(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beauf) name
joecool: i suppose it's easier than paying for the development of a new internal tool

pankkake: but that's a new one for me
fluffypony: kakobrekla: how could you do that! remove a WOT rating! the horror.
fluffypony: so, how do I get a piece of this action?
fluffypony: "The fact that people like MPOE-PR, Deprived, and pankkake were paid to say I was a scammer and lie about me didn't help either."
TestingUnoDosTre: All great sci-fi aside, anybody read Lermontovs A Hero of Our Time?
mircea_popescu: a quarter ounce should be enough to smoke yourself out pretty well no ?
