dub: in happier news my new local chinese takeout has a street fighter 2 machine
mircea_popescu: lol what's this, 2006 rogue ?
mircea_popescu: i nev er played that one ?!
mircea_popescu: baldur's gate and all the stuff on that engine
mircea_popescu: played the entire heroes of might and magic series,
kakobrekla: >I should have been clear on the aspect of the design and basic functionality - I think bitstamp is a clean interface but you are right, they have their flaws. Engine wise, I'd look towards the process MtGox is taking on and the partnerships they have forged with various companies to increase their survival (see: Prolexic partnership).
kakobrekla: >Small issues friend. We are attempting to make our exchange very reputable. I don't see value this year, but 10 years down the road when crypto-currencies are truly the trend. Our vision is to build a long lasting product for our market - We need a good team to do that.
truff1es: whats on today mjr?
assbot: The vision of Christ that thou dost see ... is my vision's greatest enemy.
kakobrekla: make "im better than your wife" page
mircea_popescu: he thinks im maddox ?!
kakobrekla: now that ppl accually read you, you must watch your mouth
mircea_popescu: I am just speculating but it seems to me that Mircea isn't really a racist even though he could have conveyed his point more gently by considering the history of racism and ethnic discrimination in the U.S. and the fact that Bitcoin is popular within the same demographic of people that will actually read him, despite his Armenian descent he could have been more considerate of other nations
dub: well the saving grace is its battery is completely dead, only works with power attached so hopefully no residual power to short anything
mircea_popescu: a laptop is basically neversafe to use again, unless you take it apart.
dub: transporting command center to new dubhouse, had kayak on roof and water tracked along roof racks
benkay: ah i would wash them again then
dub: how long should I air dry computers that have been washed
truff1es: benkay the assumption here is that you repsonded to his praise of his pr person
benkay: no, i accidentally terminaled into x-chat
mircea_popescu: mpoe-pr was telling the previous new-exchange-idiot to pack it
benkay: don't know what you're talking about, mircea_popescu
mircea_popescu: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=186185.msg2037118#msg2037118 it reminds him of the movie
mircea_popescu: benkay were you asking me about the previous one ?
asciilifeform: jurov: all the Iranians had to do was broadcast the coordinates of the U.S. airbase the drone was to return to.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the dirty secret there is that the military chan is tyoo slow.
asciilifeform: jurov: the funniest part is that the drone could have been using the military (authenticated) channel, but wasn't - because of "lowest bidder" hardware on board.
kakobrekla: mircea_popescu tbh could be just some bull.
kakobrekla: >>Oh, and next time you trash and break a Segway in Vienna that Alex paid for because some fat girl offers you a hug...DONT RUN AWAY AND LEAVE THE SEGWAY IN THE STREET!!!!!! (true story for whoever wants to know. Roger, Erik and myself were there)
mircea_popescu: these are the sorts of things nobody knows about. mpex too paranoid to allow ntp, mtgox buys more ram.
kakobrekla: genjix: Tihan is a manipulative sociopath.
asciilifeform: also, I should note that, AFAIK, neither GPS, nor GLONASS, nor Beidou use crypto authentication for the time signal (or the coordinates!) so you could still be spoofed, if someone were interested.
kakobrekla: someone called for cream with cherry on top https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=196150.0
jurov: how could i fuck it? i just can claim "this is the point when matrix took over"
kakobrekla: just dont fuck up the matrix
jurov: searchign for the point where it went bad...
jurov: on May 2 and before there was only 1 sec difference
asciilifeform: somebody ought to make a quick buck marketing usb rhubidium clocks to "supernode" fellows
asciilifeform: btw, the extent to which btc users can be fucked with through ntp spoofing is non-zero and quite interesting to contemplate.
mircea_popescu: mpex is creating its own timezone.
jurov: now it looks like both stat time, tx time and http headers are ~10 sec off
mircea_popescu: is this correct ?
mircea_popescu: but this not necessarily consistent with other time signals such as http headers
asciilifeform: seriously, even the dinkiest fm radio station has a rhubidium clock (to help stay in its purchased frequency band.)
mircea_popescu: jurov so basically, the situation here is that the stat time and the tx time inside the stat is consistent
asciilifeform: microwave resonance of the element in question
asciilifeform: nothing to do with decay
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i can't get radioactive material into that space ;/
asciilifeform: or buy a cesium timepiece yourself (4 figures USD on ebay) or a rhubidium one if you're a cheapskate.
mircea_popescu: was this progressive and only now noticed or did it just happen ?!
jurov: and it's 10 sec off, too
jurov: 2013-05-05 21:09:15,655 [mpex]:DEBUG:Response headers: [('Date', ['Sun, 05 May 2013 19:09:06 GMT']), << this is HTTP Date header from outer layer I guess
asciilifeform: and of course you maintain a local server, that the radio signal can only over-ride by a second or so delta either way
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform well provider i use didn;'t have your stick and i didn't press the issue
asciilifeform: the girl will have to bend her arse towards the sky when you want to sync
asciilifeform: the industrial products, sure. but with a consumer stick the functionality is the same, minus the steel case.
mircea_popescu: jurov that'd be normal as the outer layer of servers ashould be more or less on normal time
mircea_popescu: and has to be so and so emplaced etc
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the only stuff like that i've seen is roughly larger than a server blade
asciilifeform: you can get the receiver on a usb stick, and it will fit even there
jurov: stat relative to other data inside seems to be okay. whole thing including http headers has offset
asciilifeform: make sure to tune in all three constellations, as someone may want to fuck with you via signal spoofing
