At this moment there is a deficit in player funds, and I would be able to cover them by taking out another bank loan but at this point I would rather sell it and cover all balances from the buying price, as it is pointless to run an internet business with no marketing or development budgets and basically working full time to maintain the just under $1000 in monthly turnover.

pankkake: I don't even like pancakes
pankkake: and yes, pancakes are poison
mircea_popescu: well arguably bukkake is healthier than running
nubbins`: arguably
TestingUnoDosTre: Can't believe people think smoking adds to healthcare costs. The people die earlier and faster
nubbins`: easier on your knees, certainly
nubbins`: TestingUnoDosTre: here in canada, we keep smokers alive as long as possible. tis a burden
mircea_popescu: nubbins` notrly, you gotta be kneelin'
nubbins`: mircea_popescu flat on the back, natch
nubbins`: TestingUnoDosTre: although to be fair, tobacco taxes more than cover it
nubbins`: 20 smokes is over $10 here
mircea_popescu: TestingUnoDosTre you don't understand the environment. buncha clueless broads sitting around encouraging each other. sorta like what we do here, except without the smarts.
nubbins`: wait, i encourage people? ;(
mircea_popescu: i assumed you must. weren't you a liberal ?
nubbins`: sure, but a bitter one
pankkake: TestingUnoDosTre: it might (cancer is expensive), but it reduces retirement costs
nubbins`: just 'cause i'm a liberal doesn't mean i suffer fools ;D
mircea_popescu: if smoking gives you cancer it just shows you had a shitty constitution,
mircea_popescu: so you SHOULD die in the first place.
mircea_popescu: smoking is pretty much the only selective behaviour left.
mircea_popescu: that and driving.
mircea_popescu: smoking definitely cheaper.
nubbins`: smoking: the sieve of modern man
nubbins`: eating too
mircea_popescu: <nubbins`> just 'cause i'm a liberal doesn't mean i suffer fools ;D << wait wait. what sort of scamliberal are you ?! THAT IS THE DEFINITION!
TestingUnoDosTre: If you consider coat avoidance, I'm quite sure it would cost more to keep a,non smoker living in their latter years
nubbins`: we live in a word not of black and white but of shades of grey ;D

nubbins`: y'know, the sort of nick that a non-scammer would have
steven-__: really like this new model you have imposed mircea_popescu having to be voiced to talk. it makes me think back to when oink died and two sites popped up to trade music waffles and what it was much harder to get into what having to pass a test about encoding quality lossly vs lossless http://www.whatinterviewprep.com/ but over the years you can really see the
steven-__: advantages to limiting who can be involved to people who care enough to learn the basics
mircea_popescu: in my defense, i merely suggested it.
nubbins`: now, i gotta print posters
nubbins`: i ended up removing the Hobo typeface from that one i shared ;(

asciilifeform: 'predicting that something is going to happen is a lot easier than predicting when something will happen. Suppose you have an old bridge: the concrete is cracked, chunks of it are missing with rusty rebar showing through. An inspector declares it “structurally deficient.” This bridge is definitely going to collapse at some point, but on what date? That is something that nobody can tell you. If you push for
asciilifeform: an answer, you might hear something like this: If it doesn’t collapse within a year, then it might stay up for another two. And if it stays up that long, then it might stay up for another decade. But if it stays up for an entire decade, then it will probably collapse within a year or two of that, because, given its rate of deterioration, at that point it will be entirely unclear what is holding it up.'

fluffypony: dexX7: is the intermediary hop in your SPF record?
wywialm: bounce, surely, but the ussr collapse, which is (as i noticed) main reference point now, lead to less centralization

mircea_popescu: "china takes over alaska administration, in consideration of debts owed by us government"
mircea_popescu: not thaty hurt.
wywialm: china banking system is built upon dollar reserves, after they evaporate, china could only use military force. And when it comes to war, any claim can serve only as a pretext
wywialm: i don't believe china would need a pretext if they were sufficiently prepared
mircea_popescu: i don't see that claim.
wywialm: bonds as a claim
mircea_popescu: chinese banks were built that way briefly in the 70s, i would guess.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile it's a lot more complicated, they also peg to the euro, they also peg to a russian synthetic-currency derived out of energy holdings,
mircea_popescu: and these are just the big ones
mircea_popescu: http://en.voice-yemen.com/content/uploads/blog-64-china-exports.jpg this is illustrative.
wywialm: why then the china monetary growth halts so rapidly when US QE3 is gradually folding, both in terms of dollar money supply growth and expectation of its future path?
mircea_popescu: their asian interests marginally exceed us and europe combined, for instance.
mircea_popescu: so while it wouldn't be alaksa per se, there's plenty of places it can be. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: wywialm many possible reasons. they had a number of local crises brewing for a long time, when your neighbour is arrested for unkempt yard is a good time to do a little lawn mowing in your own.
wywialm: if the dollar wasn't their main reference point and concern, PBoC could sustain their previous money growth at will
wywialm: after all, inflating the currency is not so difficult
mircea_popescu: of course they could.
mircea_popescu: they don't seem to want to.

mircea_popescu: java is focused on security ?!
Naphex: php for some of the frontend with no handling of critical data
Naphex: mircea_popescu: yeah, its not like its running in the browser
Naphex: plus you run it on isolated enviroment with no other vulnerable cruft there
wywialm: why did i get de-identified? why did i get kicked instead of muted?
mircea_popescu: wywialm questions for the ages.
Naphex: and you clean the input through load balancers before fowarding in it
Naphex: i expect more vulnerable code from C guys then Java guys tbh
Apocalyptic: <mircea_popescu> java is focused on security ?! // surprised as well, it's not focused on performance either
pankkake: a selling point of java is its simplicity (I'm gentle, I hate that aspect but well)
Apocalyptic: gotta love that fat VM
Naphex: its pretty high performance if you're not running on shitty servlets
pankkake: in return it's easy to analyze
Naphex: Standalone java, nio, is pretty high performance tbh

Naphex: BigDecimal performance nicely as well
Naphex: don't belive it, try some benchmarks :P
Apocalyptic: Naphex, high performance compared to what an equivalent code compiled in C ? doubt it

Naphex: NIO classes are awesome
Naphex: everything is checked, exceptions everywhere (yes a good thing) :)
Apocalyptic: exception handlers are a killing performance
Naphex: nothing to qq about
pankkake: yes, it's certainly cleaner than C++ on that aspect
Apocalyptic: you get away from low level // that's almost always a bad thing in performance critical applications
Naphex: Apocalyptic: they don't kill too much performance when you are sensible about it
Apocalyptic: i.e. it will probably spend a tremendous amount of time doing things you don't want it doing
bounce: how do load balancers clean input?
Naphex: doing Price-Time prio is not that performance critical that you can't do it with BigDecimal and java

Naphex: too bad i run this on 32 core
Naphex: and i never get too feel much performance increase yet
davout: Apocalyptic: benchmark pl0x
Apocalyptic: even so, it will use 2 registers to store one Naphex
Apocalyptic: no big deal
davout: also if you really care about this kind of performance difference you're doing some seriously messed up shit
davout: :-)
Apocalyptic: still better than the thousands of CPU-cycles overhead using that BigDecimal
Naphex: time to start writing a new exchange engine, with its own kernel ;]
bounce: in perl
Naphex: Apocalyptic: too bad i can scale this too still low cost and get whole bitcoin exchange trafic
Naphex: and not break much sweat
davout: Apocalyptic: is it what you think or have you actually benchmarked it ? also cpu cycles are a couple of order of magnitudes cheaper than the time it takes to handle it the code level by hungry humans
bounce: naphex: suppose you cook up a new feature. how does it go in? save work, reload and go?
bounce: davout: for single applications, yes. for things that run on 30M+ cpus, not so much.

Naphex: bounce: nah, git checkout, compile, run tests, test in pre-production, run tests again
bounce: s/single/& deployment/ really
Naphex: shutdown and reload
davout: whoops
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: when you do git checkout there are some other code preprocessing before, but doesn't matter

Naphex: bounce: time based snapshots, backups, and replayable transactions with microtime acuracy

bounce: it's the industry standard, with pentesting and other such "due diligence"
mircea_popescu: fluffypony "password1234!" is ultra-secure << remember the 88seals88 and pokerseals etc pws ?
fluffypony: lol yeah
kakobrekla: 88seals88 ?
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" ?
fluffypony: kakobrekla: http://thehackernews.com/2013/12/SealsWithClubs-bitcoin-poker-hacked-password-dump_20.html
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: so survival of the secure-ist?

mircea_popescu: whosoever can not use a computer, should not be using computers.

fluffypony: cultee?
kakobrekla: jesus fuuck 42k members?
mircea_popescu: perhaps ?
mircea_popescu: but you know... what now, make books that even people who won't learn the alphabet can read ?
mircea_popescu: make a math that doesn't need numbers ?
mircea_popescu: enough i say.
fluffypony: maybe there should be a test
mircea_popescu: bounce tbh biometrics was a thing of the 70s i thought. pretty much all sf of that decade had it, and by 90s it was in every action movie out there.
bounce: bingoboingo: later model MIPS in new process might be interesting too
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla yeah that was actually a pw.
fluffypony: it could start with the difference between your and you're, than and then, and (to spite me) principal and principle:-P
mircea_popescu: fluffypony there is a test.
Apocalyptic: "I have a family funeral to attend." #1 BS excuse
Apocalyptic: seriously the guy isn't even trying to sound legit

kakobrekla: it was the hamster.
fluffypony: Apocalyptic: I always ask if I can go along to provide support :)
kakobrekla: and if he says yes?
BingoBoingo: bounce: Sure but I dunno what a MIPs cooks as. A Vax though is a noble animal that has the potential for a delicious meat pie. Also just the sound of Vaxberry Pie works.
mircea_popescu: 'Mass abduction' at #Nigeria school- about 100 girls, likely by Boko Haram

fluffypony: kakobrekla: then you go along

kakobrekla: even its in zimbabwe, fluffypony?
kakobrekla: even if*
Apocalyptic: "Mirceau" again
bounce: apparently biometrics stays afloat on the pretty pix in teh moveez, for if you spend but a few seconds thinking about it, it becomes obvious that it cannot be a good fit for the purpose
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: guy has a point
fluffypony: kakobrekla: no, only if it's local, I'm assuming this isn't someone asking to go on an overseas holid^z^z^z^z family emergency
mircea_popescu: Apocalyptic except it works like this : scammers love to mention their kids/wives (anyone recall patrick harnett ?)
mircea_popescu: for many reasons, part of which being that the emotional fuckwits who "invest" with them react to such
Apocalyptic: I see
pankkake: interesting
mircea_popescu: but a bigger part of which being that when they go to shit, they can try to divert the discussion on unrelated emo topicsa
mircea_popescu: as if anyone gives a shit if danny brewster's daughter ends up in a snuff video or in cypriots have talent

mircea_popescu: maybe kakobrekla can be arsed to make special error messages for each case. or maybe not. ha-ha!
pankkake: I have compiled sudo with the "offensive" USE flag. when my password is wrong, I get random insults

Apocalyptic: Anduck, really ?
Anduck: yes really
Apocalyptic: (first question)
mircea_popescu: because what use would she be if i;m here ?
Anduck: well why is his pr then using bitcointalk :D
chairman_meow: maybe assbot is sending to gribble ";;ident chairman_meow"

chairman_meow: why the change of rules for bitcoin-assets?
mircea_popescu: chairman_meow read the logs for the 10th, iirc.

chairman_meow: sometimes dogecoins
mircea_popescu: how much of their 10k is you ?
Anduck: how is that relevant
Apocalyptic: Anduck, that's probably the extent of his involvement with bitcoin
mircea_popescu: because if he comes back with something like 10% i'll challenge him to prove it, after which rate him.
