I need to do that because LXML, the Python binding, would crash under heavy load when I used the system default version of libxml. I am using LXML because BeautifulSoup doesn't have support for XPath. I need to do XPath transforms against the input because the legacy system we interact with doesn't send well-formed XML. We tried to get the
mircea_popescu: vendor to fix it but they said 6 to 8 weeks for a patch, and our project deadline is sooner than that. I need to interface with the legacy system because even though the DBAs have ported things over to Oracle, they're still sorting things out and it's not reliable enough for me to make any meaningful progress. Fortunately, I've thought this through and abstracted the data subsystem well enough that I can drop-in repla

mircea_popescu: "We found out that by using a little program that Bitcoin uses, which is actually BitPay, we would have received US dollars," Pietro Frigerio, general manager of the dealership, says in the interview. "It's like if you come into the dealership and you want to buy a Lamborghini using gold bars, we would not accept it. So you'd go out, exchange it, and you'd come back to us. That was how it worked [with the Tesla and the

mircea_popescu: mike_c: but even that was better tested. hypothesis was formed before the analysis, not as a result of the analysis. << not to mention independently tested etc. more's ther point, mpif wants unalligned risks, which is 90% of thy that even makes sense
punkman: the hypothesis for no was not made by backtesting
mircea_popescu: punkman if you go by wordcount nos may be ahead, but if you go by the actual measure of things, ie, total BTC bet on no vs yes, yes prolly prevails

nubbins`: 18-22 is "nice"
nubbins`: above or below is too hot/cold

nubbins`: strange
Cosmos: lol
Cosmos: no, i'm looking for tips
Cosmos: from having assembled & tested the info, written review, & freely advertised the sites
Cosmos: I've gotten some from 2 sites so far
mircea_popescu: well, ok, here's a tip : you've found the place where bitcoin actually happens. if you spend your next year reading the logs (they're in the topic) you'll be better off than if you spend your year doing anything else.
mircea_popescu: also, since you seem linguistically inclined, fluffypony was hiring someone to do summarization of same logs.
mircea_popescu: it may be he has a further job for an eager but diligent young man

mircea_popescu: preferably in the terms of, "anyone who didn't obey mp blindly on the score got raped, sorry, insert quarter to play again" ?

mircea_popescu: for which reason reviews by anon entities are not worth reading ?
Cosmos: if you scroll down, you see them, for mining share trading sites, for bet sites, and passive investing/ponzi
mircea_popescu: people read taki's column for him being taki and so on.
Cosmos: Hmmm
Cosmos: anyway the ppl who put websites in their sig's in forums..get paid by said websites....... for the free publicity/exposure......
Cosmos: those people are almost all anon...
Cosmos: and w/ relatively low / obscure unknown rep, too
mircea_popescu: sure. my girl paid people once in the same way.
Cosmos: excluding the 'personalities' and hero members etc
nubbins`: "paid" is almost not the right word
Cosmos: that's why I called it 'tipping'
nubbins`: someone tosses you a couple of pennies, you don't call it a paycheque
Cosmos: just as a token of appreciation
BingoBoingo: I think you misunderstand the root of tipping.
BingoBoingo: The word tip cleanly refers to a bribe of sorts... To Insure Prompt service.
nubbins`: BingoBoingo: you mean tipping isn't when you give someone money because you pity them for wasting everyone's time?
BingoBoingo: nubbins`: Well, tipping is a present you give somone you pity to save you from inconvenience

Cosmos: See, weak people are afraid of power
nubbins`: create-your-own-protip
Cosmos: Because they know too well, it would corrupt them even more, very quickly
mircea_popescu: power is taken, not given, little grashopper. and your humble nonsense makes you both the most dangerous and the least likely to succeed character.
Cosmos: The strong don't fear power, those with true integrity, like Buddha, and Gandhi
nubbins`: i think we have an Achiever
mircea_popescu: the two have nothing in common except for western ignorance.
mircea_popescu: also, your culture is lacking. do you know ghandi used to sleep with his underage niece ?
Cosmos: ahh you use 'Western'! my gf wants to slap me everytime i use that word, she identifies with it too much
Cosmos: That's fine
Cosmos: As long as she was mature for her age & was consenting
mircea_popescu: drove people up the wall at the time.
mircea_popescu: she was not, either.
mircea_popescu: and they were naked.
Cosmos: Oh really
mircea_popescu: yes really.
Cosmos: I thought they'd be dressed
mircea_popescu: ghandi didn't like to do laundry

benkay: <mircea_popescu> decimation: now, why do you suppose those who work in the bezzle economy are showered with special favors while those who work in the "real economy" are treated as serfs? <<< here's the thing : real estate agents are certified, and have to be bondend in many places, and have to follow best practices, and can and are put to the coals ifthey do not.
benkay: reminds me of a great hustle a neighbor got put through recently
benkay: house immediately downhill from the 'rents went on sale for 900k, reasoning being "well it was built by and inhabited by Dr. Hawthorne of this grand street a few blocks over who also built the insanitarium at the top of said street which is now a seminary"
benkay: the people doing the sale failed to do it on their own at 900k, so this vulture swooped in, started ratcheting the price down and as all the buyers trickled in said something along the lines of "I know that this isn't really what you're looking for, but how about I give you a call sometime next week and I'll show you some houses that might fit your budget and expectations a little bit better".
benkay: two months later, the house has been dragged down from 900k to 700k, and that broker has straight ghosted with all the leads she generated via excellent hustle.
benkay: so while best practices are a thing and brokers do get put to the coals, as with all regulated things only the dumb and most obviously rule-breaky are going to get their feet torched. i can't imagine it being any other way with programmering - the smart ones will shift the blame to the dumb ones, who will take the fall. age old story.
benkay: and what is this "not liable for errors" crap y'all are spouting? i have to fight for that clause in every contract I take on.
benkay: i have no idea what rat fuck of code i'm taking on, and i'm sure as hell not taking responsibility for your untested ball of hair falling over because this private method is getting called by your SUPER IMPORTANT WEEKLY REPORTs.

mircea_popescu: which is exactly how it was argued for software responsibility immunity in the 80s : that ALL software failures are clearly of a coal-abl etype, and so not granting immunity would make software "impossible"
benkay: nah, torch anyone who implemented it in their own codebasen. no crime in releasing shit to the world, only a crime to put that shit in your cliquot
