Last week the transcript of a talk Stanley Druckenmiller gave went a little viral on #financetwitter.

(http://covestreetcapital.com/Blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/Druckenmiller-_Speech.pdf)

Only problem- it's been traveling around in the form of an image PDF,
making it hard to cut + paste or search for your favorite quotes.
So I ran it through a couple programs, and bleepblorp, a text transcript is below.

If you want *just the text,* and not this surrounding web page, click "Raw" in the corner above.

# This spec was generated by rspec-rails when you ran the scaffold generator.
# It demonstrates how one might use RSpec to specify the controller code that
# was generated by Rails when you ran the scaffold generator.

# It assumes that the implementation code is generated by the rails scaffold
# generator.  If you are using any extension libraries to generate different
# controller code, this generated spec may or may not pass.

Simple, semi-anonymous backups with S3 and curl

Backing stuff up is a bit of a hassle, to set up and to maintain. While full-blown backup suites such as duplicity or CrashPlan will do all kinds of clever things for you (and I'd recommend either for more complex setups), sometimes you just want to put that daily database dump somewhere off-site and be done with it. This is what I've done, with an Amazon S3 bucket and curl. Hold onto your hats, there's some Bucket Policy acrobatics ahead.

There's also a tl;dr at the very end if you just want the delicious copy-pasta.

Bucket setup

/**

  Requires:
    Spin.js (http://fgnass.github.com/spin.js/)
    Spin.js jQuery plugin (https://gist.github.com/1290439)

  Usage: $(#your-id).spinSubmit();

  For best results, change the 'small' to - small:{lines:12,length:3,width:2,radius:4} in the jQuery plugin
