phf`: not home, and i also didn't have time to
process the information in detail yet, but i piped in since there was conversation. depends on what we want, baseline avg 3000 rub/mo $50 to put a 1u rack, with a 100mbit line, 300W. line is typically not metered, but also not guaranteed. then depends on our needs, an unmetered guaranteed 100 mbit line will cost another ~~$100 mo (to 1gbit around ~$500), plus whatever over cap on
power usage.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform we have the
power to standardize the iron, maybe, through the
process of selection.
nubbins`: "The need to assemble is as constant among humans as the necessity of making decisions is rare. Assembling corresponds to the joy of feeling a common
power. Decisions are vital only in emergency situations, where the exercise of democracy is already compromised. The rest of the time, “the democratic character of decision making” is only a problem for the fanatics of
process. It’s not a matter of critiquing assemblies or abandoning them,
decimation: yeah, I agree that's the effect. furthermore, those in real
power use the
process as cover for their own agendas
mircea_popescu: "On top of this the recent release of SolidCoin has highlighted another problem in the Bitcoin protocol. It it susceptible to a drop off in "mining
power", which is essentially the people who
process transactions switching to more profitable things such as SolidCoin."
TheNewDeal: At my old job, got to see a manufacturing
process for high strength
power lines (for longer spans than normal, like a wide river). They had to extrude these extremely fine threads, over hundreds of meters in length, and if a few broke, it was all scrap
mircea_popescu: "BitVest Digital Mining Corp. selected PeerNova as its strategic hardware supplier after an extensive review
process. PeerNova's PetaOne(TM) enterprise class bitcoin mining systems offer the best combination of
power, efficiency and cost for BitVest's planned large scale deployment."
mircea_popescu: dude, init systems that hijack the core dumping
process, control the
power settings and disk fucking encryption all together aren't "init systems" in the vein of what you're thinking of.
mircea_popescu: ECDSA is imperfect. The hunt for the perfect mining algo is ongoing; Bitcoin’s in particular has proven to be a tremendous waste of electricity, the
process little more than an environmentally harmful race to the bottom. The protocol supports a mere 7 transactions per second. Protocol development has been difficult to implement on account of the centralisation of mining
power and community inertia. "
decimation: academia has the
power to insert ideas into the bureaucratic
process mircea_popescu: "There is no likelihood man can ever tap the
power of the atom. The glib supposition of utilizing atomic energy when our coal has run out is a completely unscientific Utopian dream, a childish bug-a-boo. Nature has introduced a few fool-proof devices into the great majority of elements that constitute the bulk of the world, and they have no energy to give up in the
process of disintegration."
mircea_popescu: so your gen II
process is in theory 3x as efficient in
power as gen I, but if you get 99% reliability on gen I and 35% on gen II well... gen I is still more bang per watt.
mircea_popescu:
power efficiency (ie, consumption per cycle) correlates strongly with the
process size,
mircea_popescu: "We will do everything in our
power to make the
process of moving off GLBSE as smooth as possible"
