fluffypony: maybe African-American coins are
the way of
the future
bounce: hey,
they got elected in fair vote! can't be
that bad, can
they?
fluffypony: I
think coloured coins was Bitcoin 2.0 at one point
FabianB: or even carry more
than one
bounce: next you'll need a bitcoin
transmission licence
to send (or receive) more
than 1 bitcoin per day
FabianB: so
they want
to anti-standardise
bounce: blue, and green, and redlisted, and whatnot. well, if
the foundation has its way at least.
FabianB: "The Bitcoin Foundation aims
to standardise
the currency" <-- are
there different bitcoins?
assbot: Bitcoin needs regulatory framework

fluffypony: yeah if you want
to pick up a skill ansible is definitely a better option
mike_c: well, scripts are fine for semi-fancy. if i'm going
to learn something new i'd rather it be something i want
to know going forward. which i
think would be ansible over chef/puppet.
fluffypony: ansible is awesome, but I found it over-engineered for
the relatively simple stuff I need
fluffypony: mike_c: if you want
to get semi-fancy with less headaches maybe puppet is
the way
to go?

benkay: this for
the record you cloud haters is why other peoples machines are great.
benkay: you know what's entirely adequate automation? bash scripts and an api for
terminating uppity instances.
mike_c: that's what i have done in
the past (largely with fabric).
thought maybe i'd get fancy.
benkay: just write scripts and shoot
them in
the head when
they get uppity.
mike_c: curious if you had any experience with it. i am considering
trying it out.
benkay: mike_c: not
that one in particular, but i'm pretty well versed in configuration mgmt at large. why do you ask?
mike_c: just a snapshot on where
they are at, properties and such.
they are claiming NAV of 0.0083 btc per share
pankkake: I used
to have custom funny referers for friends' sites
fluffypony: WSJ is
the same, you visit from Google and it's fine
fluffypony: Azelphur: did you visit
the link from Google?
Azelphur: oh, nice it un-paywalls if you go
through google,
these paywall sites suck.
pankkake: Azelphur: your link is paywalled
too, for me at least
bounce: they're not saying so but apparently
the big player(s) are actually shipping metal back'n'forth between
their own warehouses
to skirt regulations, delay deliveries, and so drive up prices
bounce: search for
the headline in google (not, say, ixquick) and you can pass
the paywall... for now.

BingoBoingo: One of
the nice
things about Bitcoin is
that
there is so much
that simply can't be known.
BingoBoingo: Or hedging "in case Bitcoin develops
the other way"
BingoBoingo: BitPay investors hedging
their fx risk
through BitPay by diversifying into S.MPOE?
mircea_popescu: well it was quite
the ride. i wondere how much of it is due
to bitpay's largest ipo ever.
fluffypony: kakobrekla: am I imagining it or is assbot
turning @ into / in
tweets?
mircea_popescu: just because someone bets early or a lot doesn't mean
they have a point.
fluffypony: so
their winnings should be weighted as "valuable"
fluffypony: pankkake: I meant
that
the guys
that bet early
take
the biggest risk
pankkake: hm not sure I understood
the question
pankkake: fluffypony: no. and
that would be
to easy
to exploit
cazalla: i was last
to bet eh, oh well
mircea_popescu: after which he'll move
to mexico or w/e, make
that fair
too.
mircea_popescu: and so... he doesn't want
to bet anymore. but now "it's fair", he says, just, no fair he'd want any part of.
mircea_popescu: when
things are changed
to accomodate his worldview,
then and only
then can he see
the stuff applying
to him. because
the libtard has 0 critical
thinking ability. unless it's before him, he can't follow a counterfactual.
mircea_popescu: two bit webtrepreneur figures
tis is GREAT because he's
thinking of it happening
to other people ONLY
mircea_popescu: classical socialist mindset. fat close buffer means a lot of risk for people betting early, because if something happens
they won't be able
to cover/adjust for new odds.
mircea_popescu: then when
the close is a month before resolution date,
they bet 28 bitcents, 99% less
than
the average diff bet.
mircea_popescu: so people keep clamoring about how
the close should be much earlier
than
the resolution date.

Shakespeare: ironically
the seats were more comfortable
fluffypony: but
the minute
they dump you at an airport
there all
the connecting flights are shitty United flights
Shakespeare: now i need
to start researching
the fucking plane
to book flights
fluffypony: you get conned into believing you're flying SAA all
the way
fluffypony: South African Airways is part of
that as well
Shakespeare: I purposely bought Lufthansa
tickets cuz
they are my favorite so far, well
the fine print says (United Air)
fluffypony: well at least you're in a normal
time zone now
Shakespeare: you
think i'm some kinda hacker or something?
fluffypony: afaik all
the Freenode servers listen on 8000 / 8001 / 8002
fluffypony: you should
try
the more arcane ports like 8002

this internet connection doesnt let me use IRC

the packages i plan
to compile from source on my spankin' new bsd box

benkay: what's
the equivalent of chef or whatever for migrating from, say, bsd box
to bsd box?
benkay: i came up in computers in
the 'configuration management' epoch, where everyone i knew and everyone i worked with was using some sort of software
to manage
the state of machines virtual or real metal in some datacenter somewhere.
benkay: okay so here's a
thing.
