mircea_popescu: benkay
the purpose of a stock exchange is major and ceo.
benkay: "major" "ceo" are orders of magnitude beyond
the scope of btc scams.
mircea_popescu: nothing stopped yahoo from recruiting
their ceo on linkedin
mircea_popescu: nothing's stopping people from using myspace
to organise major concerts,
benkay: mircea_popescu:
those problems won't stop people from using it
to sell seekyoorities
mircea_popescu: jurov exactly
the way myspace went. servers no purpose, has no utility. its entire lifetime is its endgame
jurov: (the latter remains
to be seen)
mircea_popescu: just one of
the many problems with "distributed" shits
jurov: mircea_popescu: how? if it doesn't have a website
that can be shut down and is decently resistant
to double spends?
danielpbarron: if counterparty does
take off, I have some choice asset names squatted
jurov: actually, if p2p
trading system
that can
truly do
that gets invented, i
think it's inevitable
jurov: on
the other end of scale, planetary bubble?
benkay: i guess i'm assuming someone does a 'distributed' 'exchange' adequately at some point in
the future.
benkay: but
they can't even fall into obscurity - noobs are still going
to show up and want some return.
jurov: provided
that
the codebase is solid, which us pretty strong assumption
benkay: i guess
the real question is 'is
there an endgame for distributed exchanges'?
benkay: it's not a classic GLBSE in
the sense
that someone's going
to shut it down.
theoretically anyone can walk
the 'exchange' at any
time and discover
the assets available for
trade.
benkay: what's
the endgame for counterparty look like?
kakobrekla: - you can see
the
trades so you can estimate something from
that
kakobrekla: like we discussed,
the accounting is done at
the end of
the month
mircea_popescu: like i go... pls
to pay me back 100 btc. you say well... you ain't got 100 btc. how do you know i don't ?
mircea_popescu: but i mean... at any point you must somehow know
the maximum im allowed
to withdraw
kakobrekla: i dun
think i can do
that
there because of
the fee structure

benkay: late for dinner it is,
then.
Naphex: i got like ~100GB/s DDoS protection from
the datacenter, after
they cut upstream
fluffypony: (and api normally lives on separate hardware so
the site stays up in
the event of a DDoS on
the API layer)
fluffypony: mike_c: I don't know if you can exclude it in CF's PageRules, never bothered checking, but you can have a subdomain (CNAME / A record) and just
turn CF protection off for it
mike_c: fluffypony: surely you can have URL patterns
that don't get cloudflared? if not, stats.just-dice.com would work.
bounce: your due diligence is going
to be a bit of a whale, yes
benkay: hey hanbot is 'hanbot' an acceptable way
to refer
to you now
that you're not stalking
the forums as 'MPOE-PR'?
bounce: oh, while I know next
to nothing of
trading, I have a possible mm candidate: moriarty,
the one of spamming come
to ##econometrics (in)fame
fluffypony: yeah except CloudFlare doesn't support anything like
that
jurov: kako yes,
TAT declined, so mp asked me
fluffypony: I hate having
to have a UI on a server, lol
mike_c: jurov: yeah,
that would cool. if you provide it I will ingest it
mike_c: i don't know if i'll go
that route
though. i hate web scraping.
jurov: mike_c: guess i'll need
to feed you marketmaker bot's
trades, yo?
mike_c: ah. i
thought about doing something like
that with selenium. i haven't
tried phantomjs.
fluffypony: it loads
the page, lets
the js/meta-redir/whatever
they add execute for 10 seconds
mike_c: i didn't feel like participating in
the arms race
mike_c: all of which breaks when cloudflare
tweaks
their page
mike_c: yeah.. i've seen PITA ways with scraping
the cloudflare response, grabbing
the JS shit and posting some form or something.
Naphex: there's a lesson
there
fluffypony: mike_c: I figured out how
to scrape
through CloudFlare, if you need me
to make
the jd mpif number available for you or explain how
to walk past cloudflare
jurov: asciilifeform, also i
think you assume
there was more cultural exchange between ussr and its colonies
than
there actually was
ozbot: Balconies are for
the Birds - Imgur

Naphex: ASR only operates in conjunction with
the Electronic Accelerator (E gas) and uses components of
the Anti-lock Brake System (ABS). If one wheel suddenly begins
to rotate faster
than
the others (slip), ASR intervenes in
the engine management system and reduces power until
the wheel stops spinning.
nubbins`: i
think
that might be from
the ol' heart-shaped-sticker-in-the-tanning-booth
trick, but i'm not sure
nubbins`: men would go
to war under such a banner!
Naphex: probably
the diff or systems like ASR/ESP, not really sure.
nubbins`: now imagine
two of
those straddling a shield with some leafwork on
top/bottom
Naphex: nah i it's
the same on my audi/quattro
benkay: unless it's some crazy e-diff? and
they've hacked it
to say 'don't spin up wheel'?
benkay: they'd still be spinning
though, right? diff only has an effect when
turning.
mrstickball: so he pinched a wire with his
teeth and got electrocuted?
mrstickball: what's
that supposed
to be of, asciilifeform ?
mircea_popescu: benkay o hey, im a
total noob when it comes
to all
these
topics
mrstickball: what's
this about Chipotle publishing numbers for items?
benkay: plus also lets ignore
that
the base measure is +/- 20% iirc, cuz what's research anyways when you're chasing provocative headlines.
benkay: any reasonably high-traffic chipotle publishes numbers for individual items, eg guac, sour cream, cheese, various salsas,
the different meats...
benkay: someone's visiting
the chipotles at
the
tail of
the upgrade cycle
