pankkake: so many asic manufacturers too
pankkake: some of them even deliver!
mircea_popescu: lol who delivered this year ?
pankkake: I don't follow this a lot but there are some chinese who sell in stock stuff
ThickAsThieves: <+mircea_popescu> lol who delivered this year ? // shit, it really is no one
pankkake: otherwise cointerra is the closest to delivering I guess
pankkake: still, there's a number of options. better than one single GPU manufacturer!
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves dun dun dun
mircea_popescu: "Warrior Forum joins the Freelancer.com Family" dude this couldn't have been more appropriate.
mircea_popescu: freelancer is like a black hole of internet idiocy.
ThickAsThieves: i bet odesk runs most of the action on those sites anyway
mircea_popescu: pankkake a number of options as to where to throw your btc down a well and hope while waiting aren;'t options in the sense we need.
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves there's this getafreelancer.com site, too, and some other shit.
fluffypony: guru.com as well
pankkake: by the way, GPU preorders were a thing, too. I preordered one like 15 years ago, it took months before I could have it
kakobrekla: dotcoin does it again.
dignork: re: miners, have you seen spondoolies-tech? My friend works there, and apparently they shipped by plan.
fluffypony: kakobrekla: that post is terrible
mircea_popescu: ummm... their office is a room and a hallway in uhhh
mircea_popescu: shit i remember who owns that and was giving it away rent free to noobs, who the fuck was it
mircea_popescu: dignork details, details.
ThickAsThieves: omg all those people working on macbooks, wtf

dignork: mircea_popescu, will do :)
mircea_popescu: holy shit where is that
mircea_popescu: now it's going to bug me perpetually.
mircea_popescu: ahaha "make a transaction and get $5" dude they're really pushing huh.
ThickAsThieves: 30-day warranty
pankkake: do they sell to EU? that would be probably illegal

punkman: you don't have a naked ninja team?
mircea_popescu: i do but i don't uyse them to do THIS stuff
mircea_popescu: anything davout gets comes from old smelly women
davout: the way i make my living is not for you to judge

ThickAsThieves: this plane toy up the poon is hilarious

mircea_popescu: i think i may have all the papers ready to go within the week
ThickAsThieves: extratradition
mircea_popescu: AND SO ARE SOME OTHERS OF YOU BIGMOUTHS
mircea_popescu: when i was a kid the measure of your popularity was that all the kids on the block gathered under your windows screaming "Mr X, may X come out to plaaa-aaa-aaayyyyy ???"
mircea_popescu: so i'd go this shrug like "what can i do mom ? teh boyfatherland needs me"
gribble: The operation succeeded.
mircea_popescu: yeah isn't that something.
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves btw, did asicminer deliver the gen3 or still working on it ?
pankkake: I think my last issue with the fisc will finally get prescribed. yay
pankkake: there are sample chips in the wild
mircea_popescu: who got any ?
pankkake: rockxie and canaryinthemine (approximate spelling)
ThickAsThieves: i havent been following, i think the whole Rockminer deal is too fishy to take any of them seriously anymore
ThickAsThieves: my guess would be that AM feels theyve given enough to shareholders and will now focus on ways to reroute profit
ThickAsThieves: like Rockminer
mircea_popescu: such bs.
mircea_popescu: it's like a mediocre marriage, nobody says what they mean and nobody does what they say.
ThickAsThieves: when gen2 vanished without much noise, and nothing happened for like 8mos, well...
davout: for those who have some X.EUR the positions rollover is done
mircea_popescu: basically tardstalk has managed to get itself out of the way of bitcoin conversation, tards foundation idem...
mircea_popescu: let this be a lesson about what "poorly managed" means. you start with a dominant, unassailable position, two years later it's not even clear who you are and what you do anymore.
davout: sounds like a good time to buy some btw :-)
mircea_popescu: what cuz it's gonna drop moar ?!
davout: BTC is up 15~20% since this morning
mircea_popescu: i'll short sell you some, how about that ?
fluffypony: just below $500, davout
davout: trades around 360 EUR on BC, was 300 yest, looks like it's going to drop at least a bit
ThickAsThieves: possibly one more burst tho
fluffypony: I'm so bad at price speculation I gave up ages ago
ThickAsThieves: to 531ish
davout: mircea_popescu: if you have some EUR collateral i can push you some ;-)
mircea_popescu: meh. push me some anyway and i'll cover you in btc
davout: mircea_popescu: also i can go short directly on BC
fluffypony: 1 BTC = 1 BTC?
mircea_popescu: fluffypony well what the fuck am i going to end up owing him, btc goes to 5 eur ?
mircea_popescu: i'll just sell a ninja.
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: trade up man, 1 = 2
fluffypony: (by some definition of 2)
ThickAsThieves: what do you think will spark the next true bull phase?
mircea_popescu: Hashrate per chip:11.52Ghash Power consumption:6.375W per chip
mircea_popescu: wasn't the fucking spec supposed to be 4gh/w ?
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves this chan going +m.
fluffypony: ThickAsThieves: China Unbans Bitcoin!
ThickAsThieves: but i dont have enough cash to buy this thing back to 1000!
fluffypony: didn't someone mention ransomware the other day, and how that may have contributed to the last run as people who would otherwise have been disinclined to purchase went and purchase?
fluffypony: so the solution could be to write some new ransomware?
mircea_popescu: fluffypony it was a stupid idea tho. you realise this yes ?
ThickAsThieves: ;;market buy 24000
gribble: Bitstamp | This order would exceed the size of the order book. You would buy 16452.849 bitcoins, for a total of 14624837.6264 USD and take the price to 99999.9900. | Data vintage: 0.0850 seconds
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: yes I know, I'm just teasing
ThickAsThieves: 16000 coins?!
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves you mighht have not noticed this, but bitstamp volume dried up to nothing.
mircea_popescu: and so did most of the other exchanges.
mircea_popescu: their price signal is worth about as much as reddit opinion
mircea_popescu: echolalia eh ?

pankkake: no new mining power added for 2 weeks?
mircea_popescu: chips have a lifetime. if that's not too long and later chips are worse quality eventually the diff will start dropping.
pankkake: right, perhaps in a few years then
thestringpuller: have we discussed the latter from scammy danny yet?
pankkake: not much
thestringpuller: i havent checked the logs just woke up and saw it on reddit...
mircea_popescu: we don't really read reddit, but go right ahead
mircea_popescu: "The fraud charges are of my greatest concern right now, they are baffling to me"
thestringpuller: i am pretty sure reddit drops your iq at this point
mircea_popescu: o hey. i suppose it keeps in character. first business was baffling to the kid, now legal matters take a turn...
mircea_popescu: i suppose his feeling for ghiorghios, the unshaved truck driver will be baffling for him next.

pankkake: running isn't even healthy!

mircea_popescu: thestringpuller the former you don't want to fuck. less frustration for you.
mircea_popescu: pankkake it's healthier than pancakes...
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

mircea_popescu: it's all they have left : what's written
pankkake: because they want to be offended at something
pankkake: being offended is a full time job
mircea_popescu: gives them something to write on twitter about, gives them something to talk to me about... what's their alternative ?
ThickAsThieves: it's also the easiest job
mircea_popescu: sit in the home and stare at the wall ?
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves exactly. easiest full time job their is. which is why and how women that age end up with it, in all times and all places.

nubbins`: funny, there was a scammer trying to impersonate me in -otc the other day
nubbins`: nickname: nubbins``
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 ;(
mircea_popescu: but think of the environment nubbins` ! wouldn't you rather sit here and chat with us ?
mircea_popescu: instead of causing cancer and so forth ?
nubbins`: water-based inks bruh
nubbins`: you can pour 'em straight into the ocean with impunity
mircea_popescu: you make a pretty shitty middleaged woman.
pankkake: steven-__: eheh exactly :)
nubbins`: phew!
mircea_popescu: gotta eat moar soy sauce
steven-__: yea pankkake your blog post was what got me thinking about it
kakobrekla: steven-__ i did about 0.5k or so interviews for what btw.
pankkake: I blog posted about it? or comment maybe
steven-__: https://what.cd/user.php?id=315790 is me
kakobrekla: 3 and a half years behind me :p
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla you did 500 interviews for what ?
pankkake: what's your username kakobrekla? (I'm simply pankkake as I am everywhere)
kakobrekla: yes mp.
steven-__: yea i had an account around the time oink ended but ended up using waffles and tt
steven-__: so when i came back to what i was blown away at how much better it was
pankkake: yeah, oink being closed ended up… a good thing. more competition, new software

pankkake: lol 56% of fail
kakobrekla: yes , well , people.
pankkake: i guess it's easy to cheat on the interview
nubbins`: TBF we only use WB for paper, and plastisol for shirts. but once you cure plastisol, you can do w/e you want with it
kakobrekla: mostly its people who do not understand how hard it is to seed here
kakobrekla: i mean, you can not describe it.
kakobrekla: tbh i have been helping by not seeding for last 2 years or so
pankkake: I upload new stuff and seed forever, never had to worry about anything
kakobrekla: i got to be tm for a short bit, but then lost the will and got degraded to elite :|
pankkake: I have been stuck in elite for years, yet I'm close
pankkake: unless there is a secret porn subforum, not interested
kakobrekla: its been fun even if people in charge are douchebags
pankkake: yeah, they banned me from the forums
kakobrekla: and i was 'sassing' some mod, they took my avatar rights as a reward.

Naphex: akamai released a guarded allocator for openssl

Naphex: how nice of em
wywialm: how can this scenario be possible in case of US?
mircea_popescu: wywialm same way it was possible in the case of the ussr, i guess.
mircea_popescu: it never seems possible till it happens.
bounce: might be useful to survey the cracks and see how serious they are
mircea_popescu: bounce im not sure i follow your thought.
mircea_popescu: Naphex so what exactly is your function at this btcxchange thing ?

mircea_popescu: bounce i think your methodology is broken, in that it assumes a sort of linear scalability. broken government is not akin to broken windows.
mircea_popescu: wywialm us collapse = usg collapse. what else ? not like kansas will fall off the map or something.

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.'
bounce: I don't see it. I was saying to map it, do linear regression on it.

bounce: noticed how the french revolution caused /more/, not less, centralisation? france hasn't quite recovered yet.
fluffypony: dexX7: typically they let it through but flag it as spam unless something is very wrong
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
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [B.MINE] 17 @ 0.03114122 = 0.5294 BTC [-] {5}
dexX7: i set the ns records of the hop in the domain settings and the intermediate simply redirects the mails
wywialm: so it's not easy to perform generalizations here. Probably most obvious example of decentralizing "collapse" (or rather decline) would be Rome
bounce: that took a goodly while, though
wywialm: maybe the key difference is the time - and gradual nature
bounce: likewise the ottoman empire
fluffypony: dexX7: yes, but the email will look like it's coming from the intermediary, no? so it will have to be in your SPF?

mircea_popescu: and the people that matter are the 1%, not the average fucktard on reddit/the metro.

assbot: [HAVELOCK] [ALC] 2 @ 0.14 = 0.28 BTC
wywialm: and banks are currently increasingly departed from their shareholders, too close to washington, dc
mircea_popescu: wywialm how do you figure, "much more hurt" ?
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
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.

Apocalyptic: mircea, see above
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla wins the "longest rate comment" contest.
mircea_popescu: Apocalyptic yeah you beat me to it :p
Apocalyptic: who said anything about double ?
mircea_popescu: Naphex int dood. not decimal of any kind. int.

mircea_popescu: check that shit out.
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [B.SELL] 3 @ 0.0525 = 0.1575 BTC [+] {2}
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: i have multi-currency support handled in the engine
mircea_popescu: if i were designing this it'd all be satoshi based, and your 19.99 dollars'd read as 1999000000
mircea_popescu: but anyway1
Naphex: and then you would've have kept the scale value as well right
Apocalyptic: maybe just set some smaller precision on the fiat side
Naphex: USD scale .2
bounce: alright, so, you cook up a new feature. hit reload and it goes live? or how does that work?
Naphex: dogecoin .scale 8
mircea_popescu: Naphex why keep a scale value ?
Apocalyptic: bounce, hotswapping code, gotta love it
mircea_popescu: you're on a 64 bit system, who the fuck is going to deposit enough dollars to take you out of maxint
Naphex: i dunno
Naphex: why care about that>
bounce: YKINMK, and anyway, let the guy explain
Apocalyptic: mircea, because he uses some arbitrary precision library he doesn't have a clue that he doesn't need it
Naphex: use bigdecimal and let it handle o.O
mircea_popescu: 92`233`720`368.54775807 worst case scenario.
mircea_popescu: even obama dun have it.
bounce: or that mexican telephone guy
davout: Apocalyptic: what's wrong with a bigdecimal type?
Naphex: davout: nothing is
Naphex: hehe
Apocalyptic: compared to native int handling it's worse performance-wise
Apocalyptic: which is what we're arguing here
Naphex: i just don't need it, and would probably run faster going native
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.
davout: bounce:
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
bounce: alright, so you have separate dev/test/prod environments. how does roll-back work, should that be necessary?
Naphex: bounce: time based snapshots, backups, and replayable transactions with microtime acuracy
Naphex: roll back everything to point in time X
Apocalyptic: "replayable transactions with microtime acuracy" now that's something nice
Naphex: worst case scenario manual data importing and conversiion
bounce: ever tested that?
davout: Apocalyptic: what kind of software that's so sensitive to minor performance differences were you guys discussing anyway ?
Naphex: bounce: yes
bounce: assuming you didn't have to do it in anger (yet)
Apocalyptic: davout, a trading engine
fluffypony: davout: BTC<->fiat exchange
bounce: what's the database like?
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [NEOBEEQ] 707 @ 0.00016382 = 0.1158 BTC [-] {7}
fluffypony: bounce: good question
davout: Apocalyptic fluffypony and you guys worry about this kind of performance difference?
fluffypony: davout: I'm not
Apocalyptic: davout, when you come in claiming you have focused on performance yes
kakobrekla: all you really need is a better string.
Naphex: bounce: in memory, sql back stores
kakobrekla: maybe a golden chain.
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.
Naphex: Apocalyptic: haven't focused that far, no more debunking needed:P
bounce: so java in-memory or something like I dunno memcached?
Naphex: java in memory, with some inhouse disk based storage, and sql backstores
fluffypony: Naphex: you should switch to mongodb, it it's good enough for CoinBase it should be good enough for everyone
fluffypony: </sarcasm>
fluffypony: web scale!
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
bounce: apropos, which sql thinger?
Apocalyptic: mysql obviously
Naphex: psql
pankkake: obviously?
Apocalyptic: was joking :)
Naphex: obviously
bounce: obviously.
Naphex: :))
bounce: ever had the power go out?
Naphex: bounce: diesel backup ;]
Naphex: coloc
bounce: hope you don't have to crank it up manually. :-)
Naphex: there's a slave there who does it :))
bounce: he fast enough that the batteries don't outrun him then?
Naphex: he senses power loss 20 minutes early
Naphex: using romanian voodoo magic ;]
fluffypony: gypsy slave?
fluffypony: or just ordinary slave?
Naphex: hehe
Apocalyptic: fluffypony, ask if they still have some copper left in the DC
davout: lol
fluffypony: 100mbps is good enough for anyone!
bounce: so, that's one box with 32cpus does everything except the load balancing?
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [ALC] 300 @ 0.14 = 42 BTC
fluffypony: 10Base-T coax, star topology?

Naphex: realtime monitoring, rrd's for everything with alerts, everything critical is on a dashboard :)
bounce: who's looking at it, you?
bounce: if that's a question.... anyway, whose phone's gonna ring when the dashboard turns red?
Naphex: everyones
bounce: how many people total, about five or so?
Naphex: probably
bounce: alright, the prosecution rests. ;-)
Naphex: phew :))
Naphex: nah its serious stuff
Naphex: money is important for everyone ;]
bounce: yeah. these're the sort of questions people should've been asking from the start.
bounce: you at least look to've thought about it, so that's something.
Naphex: i did lots of this stuff before, so most come in natural
bounce: you worked at a bank before?
Naphex: a lot more risk to expect from handling money and bitcoins then public transport data
Naphex: nah - no banks
Naphex: embedded and industrial app development, in software
bounce: bit of an old boys network, apparently. hard to get chummy with if you're not one of them.
Naphex: and lots of backends
bounce: ah, hence java
fluffypony: bounce: and also seems to be quite an MS shop in many parts, at least with the older more established banks
Apocalyptic: makes sense
Naphex: yes
bounce: winderz but often with ibmish backends
fluffypony: lots of IBM DB2 on the backend if it's really old stuff
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [B.SELL] 3 @ 0.052 = 0.156 BTC [-]
bounce: really should do linux (well, *BSD really) thin clients at least for all the desks, and something reasonable for a back-end. which might still be some mainframe or other.
fluffypony: and then for some reason automation and tooling written in COBOL
bounce: s/desks/teller stations/
fluffypony: bounce: from about 2003-2007 I was heavily involved with two of the local banks
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 11900 @ 0.00097009 = 11.5441 BTC [+] {2}
fluffypony: the one, Standard Bank, ran OS/2 warp in a VM for their home loans client
fluffypony: literally every single agent/manager/support person in the home loans dept used that
fluffypony: because rewriting the system would have been too expensive, and IBM sold them on OS/2 in the 80s/90s
bounce: OS/2 does funky things to the hardware, apparently a bitch to emulate
bounce: not a bad move otherwise. though I'd still be mighty tempted to just quietly start and refactor parts until I have a fully working system, even if it takes a few years
fluffypony: well that was one of the projects I was on
fluffypony: we started with reporting
fluffypony: instead of live reporting off DB2 (each business unit pays for DB2 access they use over the month, so it's pricey) it was cheaper to drop and re-copy the entire DB every night to a reporting DB
fluffypony: re-index, and fresh reports are available in the morning
fluffypony: no clue if it progressed much from there, I went on to other things
bounce: naphex: looking cool.
bounce: page appears to make some unwarranted assumptions in the layout, but anyway
Naphex: all sorts of machines for eastern europe mostly
bounce: should be plenty market, if a bit cash-strapped
Naphex: yeah
Naphex: few cities in romania that use our full solution for public transport
Naphex: some parking meters for poland

asciilifeform: 'we refuse to produce any more C programmers who are a danger to themselves and others.' -- my old dean
asciilifeform: (circa 2005 ?)
BingoBoingo: C == Portable language that is dangerous because it offers too many points of failure, Java ==Portable language that places points of failure in the runtime to avoid C's points of failure
Apocalyptic: C is raw power, it's dangerous if you don't really know what you're doing
asciilifeform: they give plastic scissors to grade school students, too. - but not shoemakers. not yet.
asciilifeform: also funny how the two 'philosophies' can co-exist in one school. we had an 'operating systems' class. C, naturally. about six people remained to take final exam.
asciilifeform: (from, if i recall, 40)
Naphex: i don't have anything against C
Naphex: just wouldn't use it for a big project involving 4+ programmers in a usual work day
Naphex: every
jborkl: mircea_popescu <- finally happy with this result http://www.webpagetest.org/result/140415_B5_XR9/
asciilifeform: there is really no reason to still be using CPU archs without bounds checking, hardware-enforced types, mechanical garbage collection, etc.
asciilifeform: i sorta have a blog about this.
BingoBoingo: Indeed
mike_c: hardware garbage collection? what arch does that?
pankkake: was going to ask that
pankkake: or is it possible?
jurov: iirc lisp machines had no addressable memory, only stack
jurov: no heap = no garbage colletion
jurov: *had -> exposed
mike_c: so i dump a 5mb buffer on the stack?
mike_c: is lisp functional? this seems odd.
artifexd: jborkl: Dude! That is a seriously massive improvement!
bounce: bit heavy on the js for a page that doesn't look like it should need any

jborkl: so might be why it looks heavy idk have not gotten that far yet
bounce: google isn't exactly parsimonious with client cycles.
bounce: pretty speedy response at least. but how the fsck do you fail to account for p/l on a day you "restart your systems"? what're they running, batch-only dinosaurs?
Apocalyptic: "Part of the gains or losses for that day are lost" is this acceptable ?

pankkake: bio id will always be stupid, why even try
bounce: hax! and yet you can see paypal deaffirm their religious beliefs in fingerprint "security". no wonder the hatted bunch keeps on having a field day.
fluffypony: pankkake I think it has its place
fluffypony: remember that like 90% of the world thinks "password" is an ok password, and "password1234" is secure
asciilifeform: jurov: hardware garbage collection? what arch does that << 'scheme-79' chip.
fluffypony: "password1234!" is ultra-secure
pankkake: maybe for unlocking the phone if it has been unlocked less than an hour ago, but I would never put more trust in it
bounce: spaceballs.
fluffypony: stuff like TouchID when coupled with iCloud Keychain is awesome for the general populace
fluffypony: as it makes drive-by attacks much harder
fluffypony: and moves the attack surface from drive-by, remove attacks, to on-device/in-person attacks
fluffypony: which are more sophisticated and targeted
bounce: why yes, "make believe security" and other snake oil are awesome for the general populace
fluffypony: bounce: we're talking about a significant improvement over the current state of affairs, that isn't snake oil
fluffypony: unless you believe user education is going to work and everyone is suddenly going to start using secure one-time passwords :-P
bounce: convenient shiny fingerprint pads with pre-supplied fingerprints are of course very well helped when secured by... fingerprints
fluffypony: sure, but it requires physical presence
fluffypony: you need to physically control the device
fluffypony: and unless you know I'm Bob the Billionaire with Billionz in his Bank...why target me?
bounce: sure, pickpockets and petty thieves usually prefer billionaires, that's a fact.
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?
Naphex: fluffypony: backdoors in phone software ninjaing your accesses?:p

bounce: what was that lovely bypass bug in iOS again?
bounce: then there's the radio interface side
fluffypony: Naphex: yeah but that's a different attack surface entirely, I'm just talking about taking the general security level of the general populace up a notch
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 4400 @ 0.00096426 = 4.2427 BTC [-]
fluffypony: bounce: I fully agree, but again, we're not talking about sophisticated attacks here
bounce: the thing is that this "general populace" includes everyone, which to the fone company certainly includes *you*
nubbins`: joecool_ sorry, i generally don't buy
Apocalyptic: what's the last word on danny ?
fluffypony: bounce: also most of the iOS bypass bugs I've played with have exposed photos, or the dialler, or something...not a complete unmitigated unlock
bounce: the only real fix is that we really start thinking about this, and indeed, educate most people --which used to be possible, they learned their letters and numbers too, after all-- instead of just throwing the latest in buzzwordery at it. like "biometrics".
bounce: especially since biometrics are fundamentally and fatally flawed
mircea_popescu: "I assure you our system is not fundamentally flawed, there are bugs and we try to find them before the customer."
mircea_popescu: this sounds vaguely bitdaytradesque
Apocalyptic: ty fluffypony
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: mircea_popescu: so survival of the secure-ist?
mircea_popescu: whosoever can not use a computer, should not be using computers.
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: agreed. is this about the time I self-identify as a bitcoin-assets cultist?
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
bounce: oh, you want 32bit. hm. how about Z80000 for something nicely obscure? maybe moto 88k?
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
mircea_popescu: they're in for some fun...
fluffypony: kakobrekla: then you go along
fluffypony: to provide support
BingoBoingo: bounce: A big point is that OpenBSD is already on Vax working well, and they are very unlikely to abandon it.
fluffypony: "Yes I am Mirceau Popescu soon to be extradited to the USSA"
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
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: turns out, an accountant handling the accounts of ~200 small businesses had been found by the tax authority to not have filed anything for months
mircea_popescu: so they re-allocated all teh customers to the shortlist of competent accountants all around town
mircea_popescu: 10 here, 15 there, etc.
joecool: well i mean if you actually look at the returns, the accountant is signing off to say they believe the return to be true to the best of their knowledge under penalty of perjury

mircea_popescu: kinda stupid, why not use the year to create a tax liability
