mircea_popescu: "If individuals admit guilt & reach civil settlement w/ govt, they can'

Apocalyptic: "The lesson for anyone in the public domain should already be clear: Don'
t try to answer rumours on Reddit, unless you are also prepared to provide cast iron proof of what you say, don'
t discuss your family affairs on a public forum, and especially don'
t mention your children - this is stupid beyond belief"
Apocalyptic: seriously the guy isn'
t even trying to sound legit
mircea_popescu: but you know... what now, make books that even people who won'
t learn the alphabet can read ?
mircea_popescu: <fluffypony> unless you believe user education is going to work and everyone is suddenly going to start using secure one-time passwords :-P << i just belive everyone who isn'
t is going to be relegated to the salt mines. why should every human qualify as a "user" ?
nubbins`: joecool_ sorry, i generally don'
t buy
fluffypony: I don'
t think there's been a successful attack on TouchID / Samsung's fingerprint login that lifted a fingerprint from the device and used it to unlock it?
fluffypony: bounce: we're talking about a significant improvement over the current state of affairs, that isn'

bounce: google isn'
t exactly parsimonious with client cycles.
bounce: bit heavy on the js for a page that doesn'
t look like it should need any
Naphex: just wouldn'
t use it for a big project involving 4+ programmers in a usual work day

bounce: hope you don'

davout: Apocalyptic fluffypony i wouldn'
t care about that, i'd care about having a fault tolerant memory db, that slowly gets synced to an actual rdbms
Naphex: Apocalyptic: haven'
t focused that far, no more debunking needed:P
fluffypony: davout: I'd probably go Galera Cluster for the DB + something monolithic for the trading engine...python? nfi. I haven'
t thought this through.
bounce: assuming you didn'
t have to do it in anger (yet)
Naphex: when you do git checkout there are some other code preprocessing before, but doesn'
t matter
Apocalyptic: davout, i don'
t need to benchmark something I know will require 1 ASM MUL EAX,EBX instruction for exemple compared to a Java arbitrary-precision library
Naphex: i just don'
t need it, and would probably run faster going native
Apocalyptic: mircea, because he uses some arbitrary precision library he doesn'
t have a clue that he doesn'
t need it
Naphex: mircea_popescu: bigdecimal gets to deal with all that, and you don'
t have to store multiple currencies with a scale value as well
Naphex: Apocalyptic: its not that, but a lot more went into picking java, and i definetly wouldn'
t have picked C:P
Naphex: doing Price-Time prio is not that performance critical that you can'

t kill too much performance when you are sensible about it
pankkake: fluffypony: yeah. even though, again, I really don'
t like Java as a developer

t belong to the same sentence, ever :D
Naphex: don'
t belive it, try some benchmarks :P
wywialm: i remember some economists claiming that e.g. Japan couldn'
t inflate any further by printing money
wywialm: if the dollar wasn'
t their main reference point and concern, PBoC could sustain their previous money growth at will
mircea_popescu: so while it wouldn'
t be alaksa per se, there's plenty of places it can be.
☟︎ wywialm: i don'
t believe china would need a pretext if they were sufficiently prepared
mircea_popescu: banks reduce to their shareholders, and foreign sovereigns don'
t count
bounce: so? hairline cracks are much less % of aeroplanes, but if you don'
t watch out the wings might still fall off
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.
wywialm: mircea_popescu, still i don'
t see how currently visible and not visible but suspected cracks might bring down us
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.
bounce: and, I don'
t think russia is quite done yet.
bounce: noticed how the french revolution caused /more/, not less, centralisation? france hasn'
t quite recovered yet.
mircea_popescu: bounce so you don'
t see where linearity is in "linear regression" ?
bounce: I don'
t see it. I was saying to map it, do linear regression on it.
bounce hasn'
t even started with the study. but it looks less well than it perhaps ought to be.
mircea_popescu: the russians don'
t agree, but i would say the way the soviet union collapsed is the right way to collapse.

t he the guy Luke-Jr is constantly fighting with?
fluffypony: "Look at Marc (Kakobrekla) who is now business partners with Mircea Popescu. When Pirate collapsed, CPA paid him 1140 BTC. Just like that. We didn'
t scam anybody. But what does he do? He removed his WOT rating for me."
fluffypony: "The fact that people like MPOE-PR, Deprived, and pankkake were paid to say I was a scammer and lie about me didn'
t help either."
mircea_popescu: "we don'
t ban scams and scammers, but this isn'
t because they pay us, it's simply because we believe in free speech ; we do however ban people exercising free speech, because it's bad for business."
steven-__: the prisoner was filming next to 2001 a space oddessy when they weren'
