gesell: nice, twitter got hacked due to ruby on rails
jurov: he had to add few things to bf for my assets to work
jurov: cause i can tyrannize ukto with special functionality requests

mjr_: i take it that's good news?
jurov: looks like cool thing to do... maybe i'll get public
mjr_: by the way...the al gore interview on the daily show was pretty interesting and they talked about high frequency
mjr_: it seems to be within two days after issuing monthly report
jurov: and then pay divs
jurov: on 1st they get roaring drunk then sleep and wake up , then start working on report
fancypants: how does S.DICE and/or S.BBET decide when to pay dividend? I can't seem to find it or determine any sort of a pattern from the history
mjr_: in general, big complex systems are going to have cracks while small distributed systems CAN be easy to implement once, and then multiplied in a scalable way
thestringpuller: well their processors at least
thestringpuller: Most banks are moving to a distributed system...
mjr_: yeah, or the facebook ipo with nasdaq
jurov: creating liability for descendants in turn
thestringpuller: For that reason last year a London bank processor went offline for 2 hours and 90% of the population were unable to make any withdrawals or deposits...
jurov: it's ego thing, everyone wants to build something big that will outlast him
mjr_: and are shocked when things fail
mjr_: i feel like usually the central planning type of things assumes perfect implementation
mjr_: instead of trusting in infrastructure
mjr_: to expect that people will try to steal the messages
mjr_: well yeah, i think that is the more robust system
jurov: as opposed to providing byzantine infrastructure to create pipe to safely communicate
mircea_popescu: http://www.news-record.com/home/679910-63/mr-buffett-im-sorry << this is pretty good!

mjr_: really nice financials by the way
mircea_popescu: something like that. better than paper wallet cause well... you can't read it
