skinnkavaj: I have no URL
though. It's not presented yet.
skinnkavaj: This week
they will be launching
their BTC security exchange
skinnkavaj: dexX7: No one has
told me
to do
that. I do it because I am a share holder,
this is asset channel and
to rub profits in pankkake and Apocalyptics face latero n.
skinnkavaj: dexX7: Not behind it, but bought shares
today.
pankkake: the coin
that can be 51% attacked with $1000 + amazon ec2
skinnkavaj: Apocalyptic:
Tell me a better investment.
pankkake: I've been
thinking about starting an xpm mining operation (there are some cheap deals you can profit from), but it certainly wouldn't be denominated in xp
skinnkavaj: It's an investment in both LTC and
their 3 exchange platform.
Apocalyptic: <skinnkavaj> And XPM security
trading will be interesting. // i lol'd
skinnkavaj: And XPM security
trading will be interesting.
skinnkavaj: I
think
they will overtake a lot of Litecoinglboal and BTCT
trading
skinnkavaj: All profits from fee
trading will bee
through
that SKETIS.INVEST

the20year: trying
to figure out what I should do if BF closes shop
dexX7: i don't know, but mp is
the one who approves
the listings, i guess
the20year: how difficult is it
to get a lsiting on
there?
bob_: holee shit. asciilifeform -
the force behind s.nsa - is from washington DC? conspiracy!
kakobrekla: That seems like a good address. I decide
to send my bitcoins
there
to
that nice guy or gal can do something great in
the world with
that money.
kakobrekla: The whole r/bitcointip subreddit still doesn’t
tell me shit so I just google “default bitcoin address” and get
this lovely address in return.
jcpham: in areica
there is no such
thing as an adviser
nubbins`: i
think a lot of
things should be other
things
nubbins`: he obviously didn't do a dry run of his presentation before
the real
thing, hey?
kakobrekla: well a little sync practice and is good
to go
jborkl: I am angry just watching
that video
kleeck: I can't deal with
that level of fail.
lurker: not
the same style, not
the same depth - forget
the herbert name and it's decent
pankkake: is it any good? I only read
the Frank Herbert originals
mircea_popescu: well, see, before
the 2nd drive went in and got fried, i had already sent
the 1st
to be cut up
jurov: well, just sayin'. maybe you study all chips with electron microscope and
then second machine would really double whole expense...
mircea_popescu: but for all
the shortcomings of distributed models, which exist,
the centralised model has its problems.
bob_: so given
that security is
the most important
thing, and we all understand
the complexities involved, I
think we can still agree
that 2 days down for a failed hard drive probably warrents a blame-less post mortem with
the goal of improving
the system for
the future?
kakobrekla: im just joking btw. i dont have a license
to drive a bus.
mircea_popescu: yes, 99% of
the
time 99% of your shit isn't at work / needed.
bob_: we are
trying
to figure
that out :) since you don't allow high-frequency
trading anyway, nobody cares if it's < .1 seconds or < .2 seconds.
mircea_popescu: anwyay, mpex is very much an adaptive beast. it's
the best i can do, honestly, because i don't know
the correct way
to build bitcoin systems
jurov: well i'm all for shitty servers, and lots of
them... you gonna scale up and hadle faults quickly someday anyway
mircea_popescu: depends, right ? if you never have catastrophic failures of
the sort,
the incremental gain from
the better server is everyone's benefit.
mircea_popescu: so would you have a faster & better main server, or a shittier main so
the back-up is
there ?
mircea_popescu: jurov yes, but
then at some point you have machines in disagreement. how do you resolve
this ?
jurov: i mean, if you can do process with one machine, you can do
the same with
the second one with small marginal costs
bob_: agreed with
the
theory, but in practice you could probably reduce
the downtime with some improvements
to architecture.
mircea_popescu: at some point
the dilemma is, "either people will complain becauyse it
takes
too long, or people will complain because x edge case wasn't covered in
the security design"
mircea_popescu: bob_ yes, in principle. see, here's
the
thing :
the more complex
the security model becomes, by
that very fact
the more complex recovery processes become
bob_: right, but, if you had a backup, once you decided it was just a power problem
that fried your drive, you could recover faster.
jurov: hm... so next
time psu or raid controller dies, we'll be few days offline, again. cuz it could been a hack?
mircea_popescu: in my case, i have
to, everytime something unexpected happens, see why
the fuck it happened before i can move on
mircea_popescu: however, if
the result of errors is not nil, you can't just shrug and move on
mircea_popescu: you CAN seamlessly failover on errors, if
the result of errors is nil and convenience of not having errors is what counts.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla
the problem is centralisation + security as a combo.
kakobrekla: yeah but reduncancy doenst have
to kill centralisation
jurov: but i insist, why you have
to wait for
The One Holy Server
to be rebuilt?

nubbins`: but
that didn't quite overcome her crippling lack of social skills or job knowledge
nubbins`: no, she was just smart on paper and knew how
to interview
nubbins`: "she was great in
the interview"
nubbins`: "why
the fuck did you guys hire her?"
nubbins`: i used
to work with a girl who had a B.Eng. with honors, and she wrote
the worst code i've ever seen. variables called "resultset1" and "string3", seriously
KRS-: salesmen come
to mind
KRS-: but how many
times have people been hired just because
they can spit good game at an interview only
to find out
they are incompetent jerkoffs
nubbins`: wholly missing
the point of
the entire exercise
nubbins`: how many interviewees see it as yet another
test
that
they must figure out how
to pass
KRS-: the importance
them comes down
to whether or not you can
tell if someone is just a good
test
taker or actually has knowledge and knows how
to apply it
nubbins`: but
there are plenty of other ways
to prove
that
nubbins`: KRS-: arguably
the only concrete value a degree holds
KRS-: a degree at
the very least shows
that someone can stick
to something and complete it..for
that, comes some value. as a hiring manager i'd rather see a degree.
jurov: man starts very unhappy or hungry.
then one sets
their goals
to prevent it happening again
nubbins`: being happy *and* satiated? you've got it knocked. don't change a
thing.
jurov: i did not say
that
jurov: it's impossible
to some day decide "i'll be persistent" and stick
to it for years
ozbot: Anthony Robbins-
Tony Robbins Persist
to Achieve - YouTube
nubbins`: "The Brutor
takes pride in
the
troubles of
their life because it all adds
to
their stature.
They marvel at failure, such as bad grades in school, or getting hassled by cops who
tell
them only
to move along. ... Any punishment for his actions becomes a badge and holds no real consequence because jail is holding him back from nothing but killing
time"
bob_: yeah, i
think
tony robbins said
that.
the20year: "Nothing in
the world can
take
the place of Persistence.
Talent will not; nothing is more common
than unsuccessful men with
talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not;
the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.
The slogan 'Press On' has solved and always will solve
the problems of
the human race."
bob_: not everything is more important
than school. i'm looking at a resume right now
that does not have a college listed, but does have
that he attended "tony robbins - power
to influence"
the20year: in modern society
there's no problem, punishment or negative
towards someone who doesn't want
to do anything with life
nubbins`: every now and
then
they have an attack of guilt at
the waste
their life has become, but why dwell on
that when it would
take so much effort
to change!
the20year: Why not?
The government will
take care of
them
nubbins`: they're content
to just float along
nubbins`: but i
think
the problem in a lot of cases is
that people just don't want anything
KRS-: thats what makes
the difference between a ceo and someone who spends
their life in
their entry-level position
nubbins`: that's almost worse, spinning your wheels so slowly
that you don't even notice you're sinking into
the mud
nubbins`: and
they just stop
taking in new information and learning new skills
nubbins`: the other half of
this is
that people
tend
to settle. "well, i'm done school, no more learning for me"
nubbins`: but in my defense, i was
told
that
this shit was basically a golden
ticket
nubbins`: so it's not like i did
things
the smart way
nubbins`: now,
to be fair, i'm squarely in
the group of people who figured
this all out after
the fact
jurov: but
they can't get somewhere where
they have maths! even if
their life depends on it...
nubbins`: great, how about
the other 200 people in your graduating class?
