nubbins`: my favourite euphemism for pussy
these days is "ham wallet"
mircea_popescu: obviously you have
to chain cookies if you're using
that retarded method of keeping
track of user state.
pankkake: if you add a signed
timestamp
to
the cookie, maybe you can limit logins from old stolen cookies
mircea_popescu: pankkake so
then
this'd be beyond my comprehension. why in
the fuck ?
pankkake: mircea_popescu: most websites, and almost all frameworks I've seen, only use a cookie
that isn't refreshed, and is either left
to expire stupidly, or never expiring
KRS-: How did you
type nothing
nubbins`: you're more perceptive
than most
nubbins`: "cutting a rug" is a euphemism here, but not for what you'd
think
mircea_popescu: ;;later
tell herbijudlestoids srsly, blogspot ? why such evil ;/
nubbins`: anyway, people were much less impressed with my wa'alaykum salaam when it became clear
that i didn't need
to buy a rug
nubbins`: actually only learned
that one afterward
nubbins`: fun fact, i only learned
two arabic phrases when visiting morocco
mircea_popescu: because it controls
the only easy access into
the west from constantinople.
mircea_popescu: for instance
the
town i live in, has been sieged by
the
turks and by
the germans about 18
times, switching sides like 7
mircea_popescu: romania had been bordering on an arabic invasion of
the western world all
through
the middle ages.
mircea_popescu: the ancientest response
to
this is "may your heart be good, stranger"
mircea_popescu: anywya : hi in romanian is,
to
this day, "buna ziua", ie good day.
mircea_popescu: (obviously in
this case by "login" i mean, any
http request
to your server at all)
mircea_popescu: if your salt+nonce -> cookie process is deterministic you can even verify it's
the same actual user
to any arbitrary degree of fineness (such as, same ip)
☟︎ mircea_popescu: and upon each subsequent login you a) check if
the user has
the old cookie ; b) hash
the salt, store it, increment
the nonce, store it ; c) send a new cookie
mircea_popescu: wouldn't
the best practice be,
that upon user registration you generate a user salt and a nonce, send
these as a hashed cookie,
mircea_popescu: inasmuch as you're going
to do a site with accounts, which people can log in over
http (stupid as
this may be)
mircea_popescu: so since pretty much anyone here has a better knowledge of webstuff
than i do, here's a question :
jurov: just put it ro /r/bitcoin under catchytitle and hope for
the best
herbijudlestoids: jurov: i put it on reddit, but im not really a bitcoin person so i dunno where is good
to share it
to generate some discussion, if
theres anywhere you
think might be interested pls feel free
to repost it
there
jurov: herbijudlestoids, good article. i did not realize
there's formula for
this
herbijudlestoids: we know
the long run house edge is 1% but highly volatile in
the short
term, so basically arb against
that 1%
jurov: that's clear, but did you come with best strategy when
to withdraw?
Namworld: So you know... go with
the house
Namworld: If
the odds are negative (house edge), f will be negative.
Namworld: If
there's no house edge,
then it's always going
to be zero for f. Unless
there's rounding issues in
the winnings vs odds since you can adjust
those.
Duffer1: i bet
that'd be very interesting
herbijudlestoids: and
then i did sensitivity analysis for b and p looking for positive f values
Duffer1: are you just analyzing for
the hell of it or do you intend
to apply your findings
to
trade?
Duffer1: do you have your own site or blog where you're showing
this info?
herbijudlestoids: yeah...all
the values seem
to come out negative, not including
the house edge
herbijudlestoids: not sure
there is a positive kelly criterion value so
the best bet is
to "invest" with
the house
herbijudlestoids: alright, just
trying
to plug sensitivity analysis into
the just-dice numbers
Namworld: Whatever
they are,
they're lower
than Bitfinex
Namworld: Why
the discussion about
the interbank rate?
herbijudlestoids: whats
the USD interbank rate? 0.25%? 0.5%? here in aus its ~3%
Namworld: There are so many people borrowing USD
to go long on BTC on Bitfinex...
KRS1: hah
that bait looks lionish rawr
Vexual: me
too, im off
to find spatchcock
gribble: Graet was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 17 weeks, 2 days, 15 hours, 56 minutes, and 54 seconds ago: <Graet> yep, got eta
tho?
Vexual: thats why
theres a lip on
the lid of
the pot, for coals
mircea_popescu: too much hassle
to improvise useful fires when you got an oven and everything
Vexual: on a fire in
the garden?
Vexual: yeah u roast in
the cast iron?
Vexual: that looks like
thew kinda cut
that gets full price in japan
mircea_popescu: also in practice, i don't use vinegar, like
the germans, i use wine, something red (depicted above, merlot/pinot noir from recas)
Vexual: whats
the marinade, i cant
translate,
too salivating
Vexual: what cut is
that mp? lower back?
herbijudlestoids: ok fucken ill be back, going
to get some burgers before you guys convince me off it completely
cazalla: then again, i grow my own (heat wave is killing em atm
though)
Vexual: unless
theyre draped on a porterhouse
cazalla: those
tomatoes look average
Vexual: im not all
that much of a mushroom afficianardo
to be honest
herbijudlestoids: Vexual: ooo did i
tell you
that i am a fine grower of pleurotus eryngii?
herbijudlestoids: mircea_popescu: my
trilema buffer is now at 5 articles, if you want me
to read more you will have
to pay 0.01BTC for a subscription
to my HTTP GETs :P
mircea_popescu: (all
the chicks came one by one
to discreetly check me out)
cazalla: i don't know any aussies
that buy a family deal from maccas
mircea_popescu: last burger i had was at some irish restaurant in boston. i ate it with a knife and fork, much
to
the waitstaff's delight
Vexual: can one get a good burger
there mp?
mircea_popescu: last
time i ate in a popular joint i left like 40 dollars
there iirc.
herbijudlestoids: altho
there is
the convenient big max index if you wanna work out your PPP
that way
herbijudlestoids: mircea_popescu: id guess about
that, with
the current FX rate at 0.87
mircea_popescu: no, as in
take
the gf. you eat
the big hoovespaste
thing, she eats
the small one
Vexual: your girl is supposed
to get a salad and eat some of your chips
herbijudlestoids: what is
the amore about? as in, i love mcdonalds so much, give me one of everything on
the menu?
Vexual: yeah its acutally
the fat cunt meal
mircea_popescu: apparently mcd is
taking advantage of
the aussies' polyglot nature.
Vexual: yeah get me
the whole amore meal
mircea_popescu: for one
thing,
the clannish groups don't actually need
the large constructs like
the alienated individuals do.
mircea_popescu: "remember
that it’s
the individualists who seem
to work
together best
towards
the collective —
the BIG collective — society as a whole — a nation, for instance. meanwhile,
the “collectivists” (as hofstede calls
them) — or
the clannish groups (as i call
them) — don’t manage
to handle, or even
to create, commonweals hardly at all."
Vexual: how can hungary inbreed,
the border keeps moving
decimation: her
thesis is
that many of
the behaviours people exhibit can be
traced back
to inbreeding vs. outbreeding
