the correct approach
to
this is
to do what mp has been saying needs doing for ages and start a bitcoin hoster.
mircea_popescu: soviets sunk on
the former,
the us is sinking on
the latter, pretty much.
assbot: Logged on 27-04-2015 09:22:40; mircea_popescu: well,
they did invent
them alright.
they just made
the mistake
to make
them women.
williamdunne: Well
there are lots of instances of violence where
the people committing it should have been on
the receiving end
mircea_popescu: the
thing with violence is
that it's pretty self-explainatory.
williamdunne: Well yeah, but
the violence I'm describing is going against
the people who shouldn't be receiving it
mircea_popescu: besides, a little bit of violence would go a very long way
towards resolving most of
the western problems currently.
mircea_popescu: if violence worked,
the situation wouldn't be stable 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
BingoBoingo: williamdunne: Nah,
then you just end up bloating
the chain with welfare spam
williamdunne: bitcoin doesn't
take over
through convincing random fuckwit of "more benefits". bitcoin
takes over by raping
the state. permanently. <<< See, I
totally agree with
this. But
this is why I
think
that
there should be bigger blocks (not Gavin's proposal, but statically bigger). Easier
to rape
the state surely if its less inconvenient and more people can do so
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: bitcoin doesn't
take over
through convincing random fuckwit of "more benefits". bitcoin
takes over by raping
the state. permanently.
mircea_popescu: because no matter what, govt will keep getting
that money, and keep seeing him as a worthy expense.
mircea_popescu: dude proceeds from
this locus where no matter what, he will keep on getting money on his govt issued card.
mircea_popescu: "No
thanks. I'll keep using my card. It has way
too many benefits not
to. I'll switch
to Bitcoin when it's easier
to use, offers buyer protection and has more benefits
than cc's. Which won't be anytime soon." << funny how dynamic equilibrium perceived as static works.
jurov: what's
this "justusranvier
thing"?
jurov: waitwhat? in murica chicks flock
to grindr?
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: It is amazing how much more productive
the conversation gets when discussing logistics of dating sites instead of derping over bans
mircea_popescu: "we will deliver chicks
to you because you're so speshul"
mircea_popescu: so fucking stupid
this. who
the shit would enter into a contract with justus ranvier and why exactly ?
davout: obviously hearn concludes
that it's really necessary
to push
the block size
davout: and now, hearn and him are stuck derping at how micro-payments and smart contracts would have prevented
the whole
thing
BingoBoingo: Grindr's
the one dicks use
to find nearby dicks
BingoBoingo: On
the
typical USian dating site, gender matters. Other
than on grinder
the dating site will rarely ever have a shortage of dicks.
davout: "Are you sure
the reason you assume
the admin was correct is because
the admin was paid, and not because of
the genders of
the involved parties?"
davout: this justusranvier
thing keeps on giving
assbot: Successfully updated
the rating for Naphex from 2
to 3 with note: Knows his shit, and willing
to share it
williamdunne: !rate Naphex 3 Knows his shit, and willing
to share it
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: davout: Haven't looked
to much at
the architecture of
that yet, but you're right
williamdunne: Naphex: Still don't understand how
to handle
the order of
the maps
though
williamdunne: Naphex:
True, I still need
to
take a proper look at
that
davout: and if you can't
there's really not
that much point in writing something really fast
Naphex: williamdunne: and with binary insert it can do a lot more
then
tha
davout: you can spread order acceptation, and
trade settlement, just not
the matching
davout: williamdunne: why?
the matching engine should be
the only single-threaded bottleneck
Naphex: williamdunne: you aren't doing 'real-matching'.
those stats aren't really saying much
williamdunne: davout: Well for example,
the Java one
that I wrote can match 160k/s when pumping in random data directly. But when we add
the overheads for actually accepting and handling orders from customers it will not do close
to
that
Naphex: williamdunne:
the good option is
to hire
the right people and develop an engine according
to your infrastrucutre and needs
davout: williamdunne: not really, if
the
theoretical number is
that different from
the actual one, you have a problem
Naphex: williamdunne: anyway
trading engines are not
that hard
to write,
they do require some experience
to get right.
williamdunne: davout: Isn't
the point
that
the in-theory number is about an order of magnitude higher
than what it can handle when in actual use
jurov: if someone gave $100k
to alf for bitcoind development instead...
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: so many of
them, made with an apparent firm conviction
that somehow
they'll bring recognition...
mircea_popescu: in
the bitcoin space, "matching engines" are
the equivalent of crusted socks in adolescent boys' bedrooms.
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.
williamdunne: davout: I
thought some of
the structure was pretty cool with
the Elixir message queue
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
jurov: hi davout, you wanted
to ask about mailing list?
davout: also
they claim
to have sunk $100k in
the development, but somehow
they're opensourcing it now, because incorporating somewhere else
than russia isn't practical...

kakobrekla: i can make assbot say !rate whatever but it wont eval
that
mircea_popescu: was giving lazyass foundation peeps
time
to comment, but nothing lasts 4evar.
davout: cazalla: oh god,
this is priceless
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: just imagine 6 months later and he's ready
to ask her out and she says no..
total melt down instead of moving on
to
the next one 6 months prior
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: anyway,
the differences between me and justusranvier dude are amusing. fetlife vs okcupid,
the locus of butthurt, etc.
cazalla: i guess women don't want
to hear libertarian shit on okcupid
assbot: Logged on 27-04-2015 03:18:03; asciilifeform: jurov: ...there are new miniitx mobos with ECC support... << where?! link plz. i'd buy at least one
to
try
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: also i find
the idea
that various
things have different webs of
trust silly. yes, idiots use meat wots.
this is exactly how aristotle's "no politics is your politics"
thing went. otherwise,
the wot's for all
things.
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.

☟︎ assbot: Logged on 27-04-2015 03:58:31; Adlai: reddit is inferior
to irc on nearly
the same level as
the inferiority between facebook and actual conversation
mircea_popescu:
http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=27-04-2015#1112293 << on one end. on
the other end, it has
the advantage
that it can allow *everyone*
to pretend like
they're part of
the conversation. here people know nobody is listening
to
them, because
they have no voice. on facebook/reddit/etc, every idiot can pretend
that he's being heard because he can read himself and so why not.

that proceeded mywot by over a decade, right?
