mircea_popescu: and so "traffic productivity" became an issue : if your traffic productivity was > 100 (
%) that meant that for every click into your thing, you had >1 click to send out, meaning the trades had to send > 1 click in, and then you could explode!
pete_dushenski: 'boomtown' isn't growing at 10-20
% per annum, tis true, but it's pretty resilient at these oil price levels. $20 would be a massacre, $40+ is more than liveable
a111: Logged on 2016-05-05 18:51 asciilifeform: is today's 'theme' - ecologically-clean!1111, 100
% post-consumer recycled cunt ?
mircea_popescu: was a heartthrob for a month or so there, because it wasn't all too clear how bitbet will unwind. but in the end bettors were paid 100
% mircea_popescu: phf so then the odds of it being under 99.9
% are < 10^-6
mircea_popescu: cat keybase.io | while read derp; do curl "
https://keybase.io/$derp" | grep ' class="username "' | sed 's/" class/\n/' | grep "a href" | sed 's
% <a href="/
%%' | sort -u > keybase2.io ; done
mircea_popescu: anyway. i'm telling you, 90
% of new eulora players are on gpg4win
mircea_popescu: isn't it the case that 99
% of compile failures get called "wrong gcc version/flags" ? as if that does anything ?
hanbot: not surprisingly the top referer is trilema at ~~1000, followed by qntra at ~~600 and phuctor at ~~80. << wait, qntra's doing 60
% of trilema's load *without* tits? very impressive.
mircea_popescu: so isn't this pretty much 99
% of bignum->rsa in pgp format ?
mircea_popescu: livable city = 50
% of population is virgin females < 30 in chastity belts, living on 3rd floor 4 to a room and weekly spankings.
mircea_popescu: seems so far you're the only PC that made profit huh ? not bad, 20
% of the class.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform kinda too lazy to deedbot a list of the various spots in logs where the fact that bitbet keeps no logs was discussed. seems about 99 and 3/4
% that the whole point there was to create an entry point for later parallel construction, "o look what bitbet logs show".
☟︎ mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you're thinking "every sperm is sacred" style. think al schwarz "i really dun care if i waste 99
% of the glass" style.
pete_dushenski: but further supporting the unique brand of lunacy in the southern half of the americas are quotes like this, which displays magnitudes of sales volume fluctuation unseen anywhere else on the planet : "Outsold by Chevrolet in January, Volkswagen reclaims the top spot this month with 8.359 sales and 17.5
% share but is up just 3
% vs. +64
% for Chevrolet at 8.253 units and 17.3
%."
pete_dushenski: and for venezuelans fighting 50
% per annum hyperinflation and with a litre of gas at $0.02, it sorta made sense
mircea_popescu: the only important thing there really, is to offer 100
% guarantee that sepukku rather than dishonor.
mircea_popescu: anyway. the emai lthing is run 100
% like a scam, with some periodicity some derpass "provider" or other randomly blacklists me, starts sending offers, waits 5-6 months or so for complaints to pile in, then un-blacklists me.
mircea_popescu: in other argentina news, cold snap here (was 5-7 degrees three nights running, this is an outrage. it snows once a century in buenos aires), gas pressure down by 70
%, it's a wonder anything still works.
punkman: phf, speaking of requests in particular (about 80
% of the py code I write does
http reqs), I've conclude that it's a piece of shit along with everything from the author
mircea_popescu: punkman last i saw ~50
% of pop made ~500 euros, but w/e, thereabouts.
mats: i dno, weirdly enough most of the noise is from my network that is like 5
% white and weren't born in us
mircea_popescu: then the actual experts feed them patterns and reel them in - which is why expert can play for twenty hours and slowly rake a room 5
% at a time.
mircea_popescu: and to top the irony cake - exploit traffic beats the socks off anything anyone can buy. take the very openly public literotica thing as an example, it got clicked in the 1.5
% range! like it's 1996 all over again! and people comment and whatnot.
mircea_popescu: by now google is pushing for 10-25 cent clicks as a minimum, but not only are clickthroughs way down there under 0.1
%, cpa/ctr relation is entirely broken. get ten million clicks and sell two garden gnomes.
mircea_popescu: part of it, of course, being that they're caught in the trap "online media" sites were caught a decade prior. back in 2005 google ads were sought out because the yahoo wannabe yahoos had ridoinculous shit like "80 bux cpm" in their "sheets", while ctrs were dropping through the 1
% floor.
mircea_popescu: actually, it's not even trivial to do a count - i left out trinque and jurov for instance. that makes it 7. it's prolly more like 80
% than any specific number.
mircea_popescu: notably enough, this does not mean the converse (ie, that 44
% are seen for over 5 seconds). it just means that we know for a fact 56
% of online advertising budgets are wasted ; the remainder are also wasted but that fact not so easily known.
mircea_popescu: in entirely unrelated news from 2012 : "By measuring the statistics of more than 1.5 billion ad impressions per day, it was possible to understand deeply how different websites perform. Some of the high level results: 38
% of the ads are never in view to a user 50
% of the ads are in view for less than 0.5 seconds 56
% of the ads are in view for less than 5 seconds"
mircea_popescu: moreover, i'd say 99
% of the people making passwords by throwing dice don't have dd or | on the system, because they're stuck on winblowz.
jurov: phf are you 100
% sure you did it right?
jurov: if it's like 20
% as i wrote above, then it's still fine, no?
jurov: is it even physically possible to make biased dice with, 50
% less entropy output?
mircea_popescu: ftr asciilifeform my current antispam arrangements work splendidly. i get maybe 2-3 items a day i have to look at, which is a-ok. 99.97
% ish i never see.
mircea_popescu: this, incidentally, is 100
% what "rap" was all about, and it failed miserably altogether.
mircea_popescu: what was the total count again ? 20mn ? like 3-4
% loaded yet ?
mircea_popescu: organisation 100
% fucked up by the 35 exponent. possibly we found the intended victim of that ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform understand something fundamental. if the whole blockchain takes 200 yottahashes to dig up, one block still only costs you 200 yottahashes / 60 * 10, ie 0.15
% mircea_popescu: hey, most humans historically lived on a 7 day cycle composed of a smaller 1 day cycle 85
% of the time.
mircea_popescu: well if you actively observe a day every 12, you have a 94
% chance of missing events.
wywialm: let me refer to your example. first A owns his contracts in the same way B owns them. if A has short positions, these contracts are not fully collateralized. if B's losses exceed his margin (here: 50
%), and exchange's insurance fund, in that situation A's profit, but not his initial deposit will be diminished accordingly. in that way, the exchange acts only as a intermediate between the counterparties
wywialm: in fact, the 10
% maintenance margin is illustrative only
mircea_popescu: and the "how i picked 10
%" is a testament to the whole "copying big boys" thing. there's a reason they use the magic numbers they do.
mircea_popescu: not that you ever explained in your design description what "maintenance margins" are, but this is a magic trick without substance : if you need to move 5
% to break you'll move 5
% and if you need to move 15
% you'll move 15
%.
wywialm: large here means 'large relative to maintenance margin percents', so our size doesn't matter much in this case. if the maintenance margin is 10
% then this means that a 10
% price jump won't hurt us regardless of our reserves.
a111: Logged on 2014-10-01 11:58 mircea_popescu: if i were black in the us i would be fucking worried for my children. being ~10
% of the population and >50
% of the public discourse is how the hasidim suddenly disappeared from history.
phf: mircea_popescu: so i started working on a proper search, but that takes time, since need a query parser and a query compiler, that's maybe 40
% done. but i can give you relatively soon an ability to pass multiple q parameters. so it'll be log-search?q=black&q=jews so that those will stack up, i.e. first grep is applied and the second one is used as filter
mircea_popescu: the great black swamp still fills womens' breats with milk. you don't need THAT MANY people to wipe a 12
%ish pesky minority.
mod6: im like... 15-18
% better than I was yesterday. but still beat down.
mircea_popescu: the folks "doing the boat thing" are a 1
% subset of the folks doing the RV thing.
davout: i'm from socialist france, 1
% sounds like a terrific deal
mircea_popescu: empire tries to get a pesky extra 1
%, all hell breaks loose.
mircea_popescu: tho, was it 1
% or .1
% ? iirc the latter neh ? someone hiked the tax 1000
% last year ?!
trinque: box was at like 16
% cpu at the time
shinohai: :Unlike the competition, we can gyarantee 81.3
% uptime at a minimum"
mircea_popescu: not far away is the day "guarantee 80
% uptime" will be an actual sales point.
mircea_popescu: in other lulz, this bitly thing is out of the www fantasy lmao. " 24/7 Security We’re looking out for you. We have a dedicated IT team monitoring your account 24/7 and guaranteed 99
% uptime. We’re always on the lookout, so you don’t have to be."
mircea_popescu: davout doing the shareholder math only for verification, it comes out they should receive 86 BTC from auction - 13.37 your fee + 3.35043347 (1
% of 335.04334737 winnings ) + 1.21 (donations) + 2.82314231 (house above) which then with the tx fees comes out right.
mats: 30
% drop over two weeks!1
