throw you ingrates in jail
undata: excuse me, don't you mean
the "differently marked"?

tatoos prolly need more help
than dudes with silicone
tits

the delicate sensibilities of
the
transgendered
ben_vulpes: all of
the hotshot engineers want
to work at northrup grumman!
they make
things so quickly, and
their
things are always /so good/.
decimation: ah, of course.
there's no way usg is liable for
the actions of someone
they hired
ben_vulpes: this just goes
to show
that we really need
to regulate
the people with databases so
that
they don't leak
things.
ben_vulpes: oh but decimation
that's an incompetent /private sector/ actor.
decimation: usg simultaneously: 1) is unable
to responsibly handle even minimal
tasks like "keep employee details confidential" while 2.) demands others follow its crazy interpretations of its crazy laws
ben_vulpes: i can't help reading
this as anything but a play
to increase
the "funnel" of "civil rights" cases
that justify
the expansion of "rights" perpetually.
ben_vulpes: raaarh except for
the hideous autoplaying video
decimation: I
thought
the
two articles were a good juxtaposition

ben_vulpes: once i untangle
the
thing, billing will commence again.
ben_vulpes: i'm on like day
three of unbillable "get client back
to known good cluster state" work.
ben_vulpes: i just cut a client over
to aws from heroku and while everything went darn swimmingly, amazon's performance
throttling of dbs is pretty painful.
ben_vulpes: i refer specifically
to
their hosted postgres databases.
ben_vulpes: heroku databases are pretty dang performant, even if
they are heavily constrained on
the number of rows users are allowed.
kakobrekla: On a good note, Judge Rakoff called me a brilliant visionary and
that he admires my brainpower. #bitcoin
cazalla: danielpbarron, wow,
they have kids
too
danielpbarron: no pretense
to even make some
token
thing; just "fund our internet bill because autism"
cazalla: what would i do without you
thestringpuller
agorecki: Hmm. My IRC client actually does support
turning
that on and off on a per channel basis. I guess I'll make use of
that feature
then :|
agorecki: I'm surprised
that so many people choose
to have channel joins / parts displayed. I have
to leave
them off because
there are
too many in high population channels

things

gribble: Error: We broke
The Google!
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
this one you'll apreciate : a good insult
to gift someone is "bezmetic"
mircea_popescu: (for
the romanian ear, fukishima mostly sounds like "fuck you and your mother")
mircea_popescu: so anyway, other
that europe's other decent exchange imploding, how is everyone ?
gribble: You rated user naphex on
Thu May 15 21:01:35 2014, with a rating of 2, and supplied
these additional notes: btcxchange.ro.
mircea_popescu: because yes,
the world really and desperately needs "entrepreneurs" from neanderthal.
mircea_popescu: anyway, romania is
traditionally cheap, and
the dude figures hey, why shouldn't programmer work butt off for 400 euro/month or w/e.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes you should have seen
the dude show up for a business meeting, white cotton wife beater & audi.
mircea_popescu: basically,
the horeav dude is a redneck doofus on a power
trip, and lying
through his
teeth.
mircea_popescu: for
that matter, naphex explained what was going on as was going on,
to
the usual barrage of "i
told you so"
mircea_popescu: anyway, re
the entire btcexchange
thing : i know both
the people involved, on
the grounds
they
took a
trip
to
timisoara.
Potissimus: but
that shouldn't have happen, since
the fiat side should've been 100% reserve
Potissimus: it wasn't a problem, but it was a 1 day delay with
the funds from bitstamp
Potissimus: a) he started running a fractional reserve, i only noticed when i heard
there werent sufficient funds
to send from
the fiat side.
to fill
the withdrawal queue
ben_vulpes: you were in a business relationship - yourself on
the btc/dev/ops side, himself on
the fiat banking/regulatory side, correct?
Potissimus: i just ignored him, and he did all
this on his own
