assbot: Deloitte: A Bitcoin Successor Is The Future Of Payments | Qntra.net ... ( http://bit.ly/1HG4Bit )
scoopbot_revived: News! Deloitte: A Bitcoin Successor Is The Future Of Payments URL: http://qntra.net/2015/04/deloitte-a-bitcoin-successor-is-the-future-of-payments/
Pierre_Rochard: anyway, lesson learned and appropriate duct tape applied
Pierre_Rochard: I was outraged because the reason they ignore quarter (and don’t raise an error!) is because there’s no convention as to whether the date should be the beg or end of the quarter. Month, week, etc do the beginning, why not adopt that as the convention!?
williamdunne: Its so easy to ignore the most simplistic bugs.. derpage galore.
Pierre_Rochard: williamdunne: had a similar head against wall bug yesterday, in pgsql: to_timestamp(‘2014-2’, ‘YYYY-Q’), doesn’t work because the docs clearly state “quarter (ignored by to_date and to_timestamp)” but it was three hours of desperate refactoring before I actually read them. ☟︎
Naphex: having a annonymous ip is dandy. but no way anywhere near as enough. you still have to implement most of the stuff i said above especially the filtering part
Naphex: local is always a threat as well, no matter where you airgap
Naphex: trinque: that's airgapped gpg. you can implement gpg all over. Not sure how much airgapping it helps. A lot of sidechannel attacks comming up nowadays that can grab keys ☟︎
trinque: Naphex: as far as what it means to have a fits-in-head system, please do read asciilifeform's material; he's far more qualified to say.
trinque: Naphex: here's a good example by the way of what can be done with what we have: http://mpex.co/faq.html#18
trinque: Naphex: I currently cannot; it would first require being able to model the whole system in my head at once
Naphex: well ain't that security?
trinque: no harm in that
trinque: I can admire a survivor ingenuity, crafting spears from bamboo and all that
Naphex: i see now that the term secure was the problem. how about hardened?
trinque: Naphex: certainly, if one doesn't tape the raft's holes, he'll drown
williamdunne: I just spent 30 minutes trying to work out why the hell my DB connection wasn't working. I was editing the wrong fucking config file.
Naphex: and not by the NSA, by some kid with some scripts
Naphex: or have to internal networking
Naphex: no jimmies rustled. most of that stuff is necessary whenever you have more servers
Naphex: dude, i was giving my 2 cents on what people can do to harden up
trinque: I personally do not claim to have the answer, or I'd be typing from it
trinque: reading asciilifeform's blog and various excellent threads in the logs would be instructive there
trinque: it's just, what would be better than the complex wad we have currently?
trinque: not at all; it'd be good not to get personality wrapped up in such discussions too
Naphex: oh, i tought you hated it
trinque: Naphex: regarding earlier thread, things such as parsing inputs, putting sensitive data on networks that don't knock knees directly with the web, all great stuff
trinque: what is this obsession with making things safe, as though you don't still die in agony at the end?
trinque: "So what you're saying is that this currency of the future can destroy my savings because of an error and nobody is responsible?" << b-but, who will inforce what's fair?!
Pierre_Rochard: “Captains of the industry. If they were captains of any other industry, like say for example automotive, we'd have people dying in car crashes between two stationary vehicles."
assbot: vytah comments on Holy Satoshi! Butter pays 85Btc transaction fees for a 16Btc transaction. Is this the largest fee ever paid? ... ( http://bit.ly/1E6kISv )
Naphex: oh wow, just read the news. so bitgo finally popped with the worst mistake they can make?;o
menahem: lol, love is only increasing ! you being you (and like others in the wot) is bringing out the best in people.. even though they may not realize it this moment.
pete_dushenski: until next time!
pete_dushenski: love to keep going but meatspace beckons.
menahem: And be the Pete the world requires of me" ☟︎
menahem: If I can trust my WoT until my time is done,
menahem: Are losing their cool and hating me,
menahem: "If I can keep it together when all and everyone
assbot: Successfully updated the rating for menahem from 1 to 2 with note: had drinks, had coffee, finally knocked sense into him.
menahem: some things need the luv, or they deteriorate. much like buildings, roads, etc. much won't sustain without the maintenance.
menahem: pete_dushenski maintenance contracts - no good ? i love selling them. :)
assbot: Intro to sputtering (process to create clear, conductive coatings) - YouTube ... ( http://bit.ly/1E6795x )
pete_dushenski: for the ignorant, what's 'sputtering' ?
asciilifeform: also visited a place where they did sputtering.
asciilifeform: the vacuum pumps (all stages) appeared to be built into the cabinet, however.
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform ugh 'maintenance contracts'. perhaps the only thing more blood-sucking than a mortgage
menahem: pete_dushenski def, ill try <pre> as per ben_vulpes reco. always a work in progress. :)
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: it also matters, for what. usually these things need 3-phase mains, cooling water, often - a handy dewar with ln2, maintenance contract, etc.
pete_dushenski: menahem just something to edit out. blogs aren't chiseled in stone y'know ;)
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform i seem to recall '$1mn' being tossed around about 10 years ago
menahem: pete_dushenski ive got a good assistant now.. freed up some time. ;) and agreed, my bad on the >>, it's an email thread.
asciilifeform: item in the chamber was, i think, a dragonfly
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: creature in the photo is pet, not owner of instrument
assbot: Your emotions are irrelevant, and you've missed the point - Chedr ... ( http://bit.ly/1QuBrFK )
pete_dushenski: ;;later tell menahem re: http://chedr.ca/2015/04/your-emotions-are-irrelevant-and-youve-missed-the-point/ << 1. dunno why i didn't see the trackbacks from this... 2. kinda hard to read with all the >>>>s 3. a blogger is you!
assbot: Logged on 25-04-2015 22:27:41; ben_vulpes: <asciilifeform> ;;later tell ben_vulpes http://imgur.com/a/xogco << back from this << oooh
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=25-04-2015#1110941 << interestingly, i asked about the cost. was told something like '$1m for the old style, 2.5 for the new generation.' fella said this with straight face, too, as if there were nothing remarkable about this factoid. ☝︎☟︎
williamdunne: Ideal, well I can definitely get that done, not a big job. I'll see if there is any standardized way to get RSS to provide a full history
williamdunne: Thanks, thought I'd start young
assbot: Logged on 25-04-2015 20:39:52; mircea_popescu: https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/572468782057013248/WtdCdJXG_400x400.jpeg << so who are teh people ?
williamdunne: It won't cover all of history though, most of the RSS feeds only cover 5-10 posts each ☟︎
williamdunne: pete_dushenski: Very welcome. Not too big of a job
pete_dushenski: williamdunne exactly that. thanks for taking a look at this! damn you're useful.

Naphex: gabriel_laddel: hi o/ thanks for the links, what is Masamune? did you write it?

pete_dushenski: ;;later tell peterl if you're alive, http://bablogs.btcscoop.com isn't talking to cascadianhacker.
pete_dushenski: in any event... just read your bitcoin treatise, ben_vulpes. sharp!
assbot: Narrated video of the poem ‘Stop all the clocks (again)’ | Contravex: A blog by Pete Dushenski ... ( http://bit.ly/1E5ZoN2 )
pete_dushenski: ;;later tell mircea_popescu on the contrary! http://www.contravex.com/2015/04/24/narrated-video-of-the-poem-stop-all-the-clocks-again/#comment-16132
asciilifeform: (if computing is any guide of the quantity and sheer vomitrous power of fecalia people can be persuaded to swallow)
asciilifeform: i mention it because i can imagine a world where such clocks are considered not only acceptable, but 'state of the art' and 'best practice' ☟︎
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: almost made the mistake of trying to catch the planes by that clock, but realized in time.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: that clock i bought from the street spammer works about as well as ought to be expected. sometimes stops for 2,3,4,5+ hours - then runs... then, again...
gabriel_laddel: EVERYTHING you've thought on the subject has been covered.
gabriel_laddel: then all of the logs

gabriel_laddel: Naphex: regarding security - read more. A few links that have turned up in the logs are available at http://gabriel-laddel.github.io/arsttep.html#sec-6-2-3
asciilifeform: trinque: doctor sometimes tells patient hard truths about where the latter is headed. but doctor can dispense dope to ease the pain. this is hard to do over irc.
asciilifeform: ( http://www.xach.com/naggum/articles/3244575386963745@naggum.no.html << much on topic.)
asciilifeform: trinque: '... if you actually cause them to understand it in the course of a discussion, you will only make them miserable and hate their lives. People are pretty good at detecting that this is a likely outcome of thinking, and it takes conscious effort to brace yourself and get through such experiences.'
trinque: but that should not keep him from imagining a better vessel
trinque: Naphex: one does the best he can with the leaky raft
decimation: unfortunately no floating point unit, but that isn't needed for the target market here ☟︎
asciilifeform tried 'opensparc' and a number of smaller things, but not this
decimation: also some guy claims to have a working 'gnat' implementation http://sourceforge.net/projects/msp430ada/
decimation: one of the few 'open-cores' that isn't vaporware
asciilifeform recalls a number of these
