Naphex: Standalone java, nio, is pretty high performance
tbh
pankkake: in return it's easy
to analyze
pankkake: a selling point of java is its simplicity (I'm gentle, I hate
that aspect but well)
Naphex: i expect more vulnerable code from C guys
then Java guys
tbh
Naphex: and you clean
the input
through load balancers before fowarding in it
Naphex: plus you run it on isolated enviroment with no other vulnerable cruft
there
Naphex: mircea_popescu: yeah, its not like its running in
the browser
Naphex: php for some of
the frontend with no handling of critical data
Naphex: Apocalyptic: java for
the backend
Naphex: bounce: well for
the
trading engine i focused a lot on performance and security
jborkl: mircea_popescu you see
the American Airways
twitter reponse yesterday?
bounce: whatever you
think is important about developing and running
the exchange.
Naphex: bounce: setup of what, like
the workstation?
benkay: i'm here
thestringpuller
Naphex: danielpbarron: one of
the main programmers behind it
Naphex: hoping
to finish
the data plant and eur support sometime next week
Naphex: already rolled out api, just need some accessors
to help people with
the public data
pankkake: first step is being on bitcoincharts I
think
mircea_popescu: nanotube may help you with
that, possibly also
talk
to
tcatm (runs bitcoincharts)
mircea_popescu: "o hey, 200 years ago mark
twain whom you've read
though
this place was pretty cool.
mircea_popescu: they'll be
the 51th state of
their respective local superpowers, and be used exactly like san francisco is used
today
wywialm: and hordes of speciffically flavoured keynesians fearing
the zero lower bound of interest rates,
the called for fiscal expansion as a substitute
mircea_popescu: dude holy shit. san francisco is barely fucking notable, what is
this navel grazing crap.
mircea_popescu: "Today,
the
tech industry is apparently on
track
to destroy one of
the world’s most valuable cultural
treasures, San Francisco, "
wywialm: that was before Kuroda at
the BoJ, of course
wywialm: i remember some economists claiming
that e.g. Japan couldn't inflate any further by printing money
wywialm: obviously
true, at least in case of china.
wywialm: after all, inflating
the currency is not so difficult
wywialm: if
the dollar wasn't
their main reference point and concern, PBoC could sustain
their previous money growth at will
mircea_popescu: wywialm many possible reasons.
they had a number of local crises brewing for a long
time, when your neighbour is arrested for unkempt yard is a good
time
to do a little lawn mowing in your own.
mircea_popescu: so while it wouldn't be alaksa per se,
there's plenty of places it can be.
☟︎ wywialm: why
then
the china monetary growth halts so rapidly when US QE3 is gradually folding, both in
terms of dollar money supply growth and expectation of its future path?
mircea_popescu: meanwhile it's a lot more complicated,
they also peg
to
the euro,
they also peg
to a russian synthetic-currency derived out of energy holdings,
mircea_popescu: chinese banks were built
that way briefly in
the 70s, i would guess.
wywialm: i don't believe china would need a pretext if
they were sufficiently prepared
wywialm: china banking system is built upon dollar reserves, after
they evaporate, china could only use military force. And when it comes
to war, any claim can serve only as a pretext
mircea_popescu: "china
takes over alaska administration, in consideration of debts owed by us government"
wywialm: and banks are currently increasingly departed from
their shareholders,
too close
to washington, dc
wywialm: i once gave it (the china matter) a
thought, and currently i believe it is
to weak a claim. in case of default, china would get much much more hurt
than us
mircea_popescu: china holding us debt is no sort of statement of confidence in
the usg, quite
the contrary, it's a claim on its asshole.
mircea_popescu: banks reduce
to
their shareholders, and foreign sovereigns don't count
mircea_popescu: wywialm we were
talking fo
the {1%, 99%} set I
thought
wywialm: from my knowledge,
the highest exposure is interbank collateral, bank reserves and China
mircea_popescu: wywialm actually
the exposure
to
treasuries is mostly pension funds.
Naphex: mircea_popescu: funny how people always remember
the victim count :P
wywialm: still,
these people have some exposure
to us
treasuries - and yields are further
than anytime from signaling default
bounce: so? hairline cracks are much less % of aeroplanes, but if you don't watch out
the wings might still fall off
mircea_popescu: and
the people
that matter are
the 1%, not
the average fucktard on reddit/the metro.
mircea_popescu: wywialm
this is why i made my linearity objeciton. it won't collapse because of "cracks". it will collapse because all
the people
that matter are fucking sick of it.
joecool: $4k
to "pay for
the damage" who gets paid $4k
to hose off a wall?
pankkake: dexX7:
the basics are: reverse dns of sending server should be related
to
the expeditor domain (or at least be something), and SPF entries are always a plus
bounce: they're angels,
that's why
mircea_popescu: how
the fuck is ycombinator involved in everything unsavoury.
dexX7: anyway. i'm away again,
thanks and bye :)
mircea_popescu: fluffypony so basically it sells you gmail protection services ?
the spam racket ?
joecool: BingoBoingo: lawl, ozzy got away with paying
texas $10k
to forget about it
Naphex: for cooking, was named after him i
think
dexX7: well,
there is something about DKIM in
the header
fluffypony: but mailgun mails seem
to go
through no problem
mircea_popescu: is
this vuscan fellow
the son of
the oil factory vuscan, with
the 3 victims
traffic accident ?
bounce: what, you're saying broadcasting unique serial numbers is somehow not automagic security on
top? but! It's NFC, man!
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: I have constant issues with customers marking order updates as spam accidentally/on purpose, have
that happen a few
times and suddenly all customers stop getting emails from your domain
Naphex: mircea_popescu: hehe, will send him a note :] only got 2 extra
toothpicks
this year:(
mircea_popescu: Naphex you'll prolly have
to point out
to your boss you're doing more marketing/pr
than anyone
there.
mircea_popescu: the us can collapse in all of
two weeks, as
tech stands
today.
mircea_popescu: <wywialm> maybe
the key difference is
the
time - and gradual nature <<
they didn't have
the press. which is why it
took longer. ussr didn't have
the internet, which is why it
took so damned long.
fluffypony: dexX7: btw is
this being used programmatically by a system, or is it normal user-generated emails?
dexX7: well, should not be much of a problem, even if it's a blackhole at
the moment.
thanks fluffy anyway :)
mircea_popescu: <wywialm> ...but it's hard for me
to believe
that us is
the first in line << it's
the first in line of
the set {US}
mircea_popescu: little better available in
training devices in any craft
than "failure examination"
mircea_popescu: bounce as a "map
the rot" project
this is probably valuable even if it gets no direct results.
bounce: and, I don't
think russia is quite done yet.
