mircea_popescu: the trade engine doesn't really keep that much, plus, tons of memory and cpu, which i think helps.
pankkake: takes 24h for me :( but I guess mpex doesn't have as much data
pankkake: I mean the time to obtain a hard drive if you don't have a spare (and the time to rebuild)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform if it won't cost much, then it won't cost much to have them... not monitor the cameras, for five minutes.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: can't imagine it would cost much to have 'biorobots' monitor the cams in shifts.
pankkake: I don't know what you are doing with the raids, but scrubing the raid and checking smart data regularly could probably reduce those kind of occurences
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform in the immortal words of pesto, that ain't gonna work.
benkay: well i certainly don't hire masters degree holders to stand by the crank and turn it all day

mircea_popescu: that didn't parse.
mircea_popescu: justusranvier lmao awww, and i didn't even get to sell any d.cbse
decimation: yeah I don't see any way out of the problem other than having a king/judge make subjective decisions backed up with the threat of violence
mircea_popescu: well... what if their parents didn't ? what if it's the united states of chimpanzees ?
mircea_popescu: "i don't have to beat them personaly but merely remind them of how their parents beat them"

mircea_popescu: it should have been sa if they weren't such annoying shitheads forcing the best country in thr world to rely on their 2nd pedo choice.
mircea_popescu: someone with no books i'd fuck. someone with a shitton of "social studies" and assorted crap published the past century i definitely wouldn't
nubbins`: right, isn't this the reason a solar flare or w/e could fuck us all royally?
nubbins`: "We need to make books cool again. If you go home with somebody and they don't have books, don't fuck them." -John Waters
asciilifeform: who doesn;t
mircea_popescu: rithm lots of dumb things you can't take back. way the world goes.
mircea_popescu: "Bobynin's voice rang like metal on metal. 'I can see the difference between you and me: you need me, but I don't need you.'"
mircea_popescu: don't worry assbot. you're here with us and that's ass that matters.
rithm: i wasn't sure thanks!
mircea_popescu: isn't high carbon bad ?

rithm: shhhh mircea_popescu don't lie to the guy
jurov: didn't you just publish your privkey?
jurov: this doesn't look like btc signature
mircea_popescu: btc is like, yu know, the car. it doesn't exist out of a vacuum. if yu want to be a decen mechanic, and even to be a good driver
mircea_popescu: i can't believe THAT didn't sell for 20bn
pankkake: I don't mean private key, I mean the metadata block. i.e. what luks does
asciilifeform: as if spindle drives didn't swap sectors silently
mircea_popescu: currently i wanna find out what the holy shit is happening tho, because this ain't normal.
Mats_cd03: with the added cost you get faster io. i bet mpex isn't io bound
mircea_popescu: fucking dangerous these things, because people are tards and don't properly balance them
chetty: best goals = ones you don't have
mircea_popescu: i mean, i don't in any sense mind if it happens, but it's not a goal.
mike_c: isn't that what you're doing here?
pankkake: so you don't want to ask for your twitter account back?
mircea_popescu: well i would if only i hadn't killed andreas.
mircea_popescu: so as a mpex update : all 8 drives + the raid controller are going to be cut up. replacements are going in. mpex won't be back today, but i expect it to be back tomorrow. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: "part of the appeal was that having no experience and looking for exposure, they didn't actually want to be paid"
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves you don';t get how probono works.
ThickAsThieves: "@BTCFoundation hires Thorsen French as outside lobbyists. Part of the appeal was they weren't invovled in past financial services battles"
mircea_popescu: TheNewDeal: wouldn't be too far-fetched to see people being paid in bitcoin, avoiding government taxation << inasmuch as you've seen this like... yesterday ? yeah.
mircea_popescu: also you have to steal the whole thing. if people had to steal the WHOLE old lady, they a) couldn't use bikes and b)wouldn't be bothered.
fluffypony: but it doesn't seem to be a very clever use of space
mircea_popescu: asic miners are also the eminent tool for this. an isp can't do it because customers wil want upgrades etc
mircea_popescu: seeing how you then don't need a warehouse anymore, just a lot.
pankkake: I don't need that much ssds. or I would be very very well paid if I moved everything to ssds
nubbins`: landed a job making t-shirts for my favourite sushi restaurant :D
mircea_popescu: under the very flimsy - VERY flimsy - excuse that they aren't really this stupid, they're just trying to cater to the stupid.
pankkake: right; but the point shouldn't be more addresses, but more holders or locations
mircea_popescu: well that wasn't the best way to say it.
mircea_popescu: <pankkake> why would more addresses be more secure? << one address can't be in two wallets.
kyuupichan: Why TF does bitstamp put all their coins in one huge address? Doesn't seem the smartest plan.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla well yes but someone can't put all their net worth into btc.
davout: germany scoring 7 goals against brazil isn't that bad
mircea_popescu: Duffer1: they'll price it at whatever the hell they want << haven't managed it so far, no. if only it were that easy.
davout: ;;later tell mircea_popescu "it's gonna be 25-0 for germany" <<< implying netherlands won't buttraep argentina :D
fluffypony: pity they don't have Fallkniven or Benchmade
nubbins`: registered ones w/ employees probably aren't just going to start paying salaries with bitcoin and stop deducting income tax
TheNewDeal: wouldn't be too far-fetched to see people being paid in bitcoin, avoiding government taxation
TheNewDeal: I think the mt cox fiasco really messed with the price, wouldn't be surprised if we were sub 1200 by years end
kyuupichan: Still I don't think BTC goes to over $2k this year now. I'd be happy with 1500
