Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion
we were told fix would beginning of this year over a year ago.. they are holding back the fix.... according to you the fix is in the next couple years. whatever.. keep convincing yourself. let me refer back to the problem with your thought process here:
March 30th 2016 i posted:
you know what ?? i have several hardware servers that are over six year old technology.. they run great still, they are Dell 2950 1U servers.. i have mostly migrated everything from those six year old servers and replaced with virtual servers or new hardware server, except for one server. it is running some accounting and product tracking software for one the companies i maintain. the company is totally reliant upon their accounting and product tracking software, if it goes down they are fukd, cant do business until it is back up.. i look at this six year old server and it has an amber light on it.. that means something might be going wrong..i look and see the battery is dead on the perc raid controller card.. np no big deal .. fukit i don't expect anything bad to happen to this server, it has been running great for six years. i can see something is wrong with the perc card but it seems to not be causing an issue to the accounting software.. fukit, i'm just going to leave the accounting software on this six year old server .. i aint gonna do anything about it.. why should i ?? i dont expect anything bad to happen.
that is how you are looking at things. this is where experience with technology comes into play.. i'm not leaving the six year old server like that. instead of waiting until that six year old server dies, i decided to spin up a virtual server and will migrate the accounting software to this new virtual server. here is the kicker: i am going to do this BEFORE my six year old server with the blinking amber light has a fatal hardware error and brings that accounting software down and that entire company to a grinding halt.. today i know its just a bad battery on the perc card, what if tomorrow that perc card goes bad ?? the point is, from an engineering viewpoint, u dont wait when u see a problem developing just because in YOUR OPINION and YOUR EXPECTATIONS that nothing bad is going to happen. in technology, it is more likely than not that something bad is going to happen. we don't take the risk, because if we do and the something bad happens then u have a company losing money every single day they cannot operate.
your veiwpoint is the reason why i do not allow programmers to fuk with hardware. programmers are just smart enough to be dangerous.. as we have seen with bitcoin, the programmers are doing the dangerous thing, they are waiting and taking that risk that nothing bad is going to happen.
"we were told"
Yeah, right do you have a rock in your pocket? Who is "we"? The royal "we"?
Pretty much you are assuming a problem where little to no problem exists, and there are various sufficient fixes in the making and under consideration. There is not an emergency at the moment... seg wit is on the way, and there may actually be some additional hard increases (even though it may or may not be necessary in the short term.. we will see?)
The only "fix" that does not seem to be sufficiently in the making is to figure out ways to get the whiners to let up on their whining so much, but maybe after a 3x price bubble, some of them may let up on the whining a little bit, but others may need a 10x bubble? Hm? There may be few ways to completely quell some of the more disingenuous ones?
