mp_en_viaje: the objection, in short, is not that the worm's not delicious, but that the worm's just
bait.
BingoBoingo suspects if anything invitation to datacenter was
bait for premature enforcement of contract suit service.
mircea_popescu: fun fact for rotards : andrea ESCA
is named for the fleshy
bait atop an anglerfish head. didn't know thsat, did you.
BingoBoingo: Well, you can try to make the hours that you have count. Proactive communication,
bait folks with the problems you are chewing on. Get Peh battle ready and pivot to Pizarro and get an outreach machine going.
mp_en_viaje: not gonna do a fucking novel, i tell you that. i might put up the details re the
bait & switch "hotel" / scam, but atm waiting to see what the police say and for report on list of various authorities that could be induced to inspect the shithole.
mp_en_viaje: and the EXACT same goes for linus. because if deedbot comes out with 0, you know ~for a fact~ schmuck's running a
bait and switch scheme, waiting for anon tards to donate their wikipedia editing to him so he can donate it to some "code of conduct" femstate tards down the line.
diana_coman:
http://btcbase.org/log/2019-03-21#1903897 -> expert pickpocket is first of all expert in choosing victim; that being said, in Bucharest it was the 601 bus (always overflowing) and/or buses/trams from the North Station (bc. people with luggage in a hurry to get on the bus); this doesn't mean that it's not obvious and avoidable but assuming you want to
bait them for the xp, those are easy spots.
☝︎ mircea_popescu: what fucking chump
bait are you the fuck on about in your own solipsist hell entirely lost to any reason ?
a111: Logged on 2019-02-14 16:54 asciilifeform: ( i'ma take mircea_popescu's word for 'they are available to konsoomer' , evidently currently worth slightly moar as chump
bait than as ore )
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the one thing that blows my mind is the compartimentalization. "you either own the computer or else work for the usg" is somehow self-evident ; "you either own the woman or else work for the usg" is magically not, because "it was not clear to me dks was the woman in our relationship, what is the similarity between the dangly-
bait cunt in each case ?!?!?!"
mircea_popescu: and besides, and just as importantly : the boy who puppyloves some girl ~is in no way different ; IN NO WAY DIFFERENT~ from the erastes who "loves" some man's kiddy
bait whore.

bait for your beast to find ?
BingoBoingo: Tres Cruces is a fun place to go to chat cute girls but... it the only barrio with traffic issues, far from the water, and the place I most frequently run into dyed hair activist sorts (the national bus terminal seems to be irresistable
bait for the fifth column)
BingoBoingo: It's the flyer the government produces as gringo
bait ckang: since it seems like they sorta
bait people
mircea_popescu: yeah. after years of trying to "establish" the usual bullcrap ("brand"!!!) they finally moved to the switch part of the
bait-and-switch.
mircea_popescu realises this is possibly the worst
bait and switch ever. but i swear, unintentional!
phf: when i started to apple there was an odd network of apple repair shops, that were completely warranty voiding, but they could do non-trivial operations on a mac (in fact with a few exceptions the owners were knowledgable tinkerers ready and willing to chat about finer points of electronics hackery), the network has been completely destroyed by the
bait and switch of "authorization" that apple pulled right after they started the whole apple store thing.
BingoBoingo: But that could also be the gulf making it hurriciane
bait mircea_popescu: dude's ~as maddox-knockoffy / dumb as i remember it, however, "The Pick Up Artist community has turned thousands of young men into silly cheap-shits. Their “The Game” plan is simple: 1. Don’t pay for shit. 2. ? 3. Pussy! But that’s like switching from live
bait to dynamite when you’re fishing in the bathtub. Here’s a straighter line between points U and P: 1. Stop dating chicks that aren’t going to fuck you!"
mircea_popescu: expensive where not built, expensive because temporary disruption (flood,
bait-and-switch in switch cycle by socialist "corporation", etc)
a111: Logged on 2017-10-26 16:59 mircea_popescu: anyway, back to the
bait and switch thing. reddit started life as a sort of 4chan with a jump, ie the little girl's not on the page, but you have to click. this wasn't accidental, because their phase 2 ("growth phase" eh) consisted of the exact value proposition : add your crap to reddit, watch people click on it. once growth stopped they dropped the
bait, switched to "we will control the conversation in this ever-so-importan
mircea_popescu: now, this worked fine in the 90s, when the statal motherly "please don't do it" was backed by my "motherfucker if i see you again ima use you for fish
bait".
mircea_popescu: meanwhile facebook started as a "put your crap on this alt-myspace and check out the large numeric values printed to GOOD THING". basically, facebook was one of those "webvisitors counters" except in a more skinner-y scheme. recently they dropped the
bait and are essentially trying to capitalize on what's known in economy as stickiness, the exact same psychological tendency as discussed in

☟︎ mircea_popescu: kinda the perpetual
bait and switch of "world changing" silicon valley "businesses" in the "industry" aka websites for the rest of the world, still vying for the supposedly valuable "UGC". except for the part where there's no ugc nor would it be valuable, all's well.
mircea_popescu: on the strict, first layer implications, soviets eating the bomb
bait produced some rich us contractors and a bankrupt su economy.
BingoBoingo: Yeah Safe Chicom Chalk, vs. US fly/coon
bait mega poison
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> trinque: how'd you react to neighbour cornfuck leaving poisoned
bait for your beast to find ? << 90% of successful pest control is geography
mircea_popescu: anyway, since nobody apparently got the faberge egg
bait, let's put it in the logs. so yes on the substance front i asked alf if he knows what it is because it is in fact stained glass, except with gold instead of lead and porcelain instead of glass, ie just like his properly cast key, piston-and-typeface in metal, bulk in porcelain.
mircea_popescu: ir lawyers to arrive. That’s actually why it’s so filthy. I was just looking to “troll” a big studio. Then, as I began editing the radio play and boarding it, the two characters ended up becoming something different than just a bad impression of Doc and Marty from BTTF. They slowly became two of my favorite characters that I’ve ever voiced. I backed down on the cease and desist
bait and changed the spelling of their
mircea_popescu: but anyway, there's really no way to run for oneself. take jurov for instance : years later he's still struggling to come to terms with the specific portions of socialism he can't let go of. if people end up taking teh
bait and going to bury themselv es ion google for the rest of their life, what exactly was lost ?
mircea_popescu: this is the perpetual
bait and switch : "fuck you, be useful" creates a lot of people with repressed needs. it APPEARS that "to everyone according to his needs" will then turn a profit. get themn to vote you, pay their tiny needs, make bank.
mircea_popescu: and since nobody's taking the
bait : similarities between dog and engineer : both have intelligent eyes and neither can express itself.
ben_vulpes: i was hoping for a
bait reimplementation
shinohai chose to wait for asciilifeform and not take the
bait Framedragger: not to
bait or anything - i mean this charitably and honestly. it's just not the most productive approach, imho.
a111: Logged on 2015-09-07 19:58 ascii_field: mats: the way it works is, there are precisely two kinds of permitted mass media in usa: 1) usg 2) usg crank
bait BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> (you're invited to go fishing, discover fish will eat your
bait and not bite) << AHA, this is where most
bait goes.
mircea_popescu: (you're invited to go fishing, discover fish will eat your
bait and not bite)
mircea_popescu: which is why he joined the army, too, trying to
bait that absent father ; and which is WHY the candy thing. didn't want the fucking candy anymore than i do. just wanted to see if dog may be enticed to bark in the exact manner that'd get it shot ?
phf: well, he opened with a "scale issue", but when started getting concrete answers from ben_vulpes "backtracked" but doing one of those setup questions, "do you believe in freedom?" sort of thing. ben_vulpes refused to eat the
bait. that's where you either switch tactic or close the setup "well, if you believe in freedom then you obviously believe in bombing them sons of bitches". but instead of closing he started nitpicking whatever ben_vulpes was s
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: regarding the "let's do cicada" objection - there probably are several angles which one could counter with - is the main one basically what trinque said, i.e., it's a form of (dishonest, to boot)
bait-and-switch, which selects for some $random_criterion and the latter may not at all translate into what's actually useful?
trinque: this idea of marketing with some
bait and switch proceeds directly to a bunch of "fuck you, I'm just here to ..."
mircea_popescu recommends you read into the story of the satmar (
bait : "If its schools in New York were a public school system, it would be the fourth-largest system in the state, after those of New York City, Buffalo and Rochester.")
BingoBoingo: Maybe you should convert that termite
bait into turf?
pete_dushenski: diana_coman: what's specifically 'eu' about the baltic, yugoslavian, romanian, what have you arrangements is that the fancy town squares and rebuilt castles were the
bait and switch in exchange for monetary hegemony. there are exceedingly few examples of such peaceful expansion of territory in my historical memory banks (though i'm open to being disabused of this notion)
jhvh1: BingoBoingo: Error: "
bait" is not a valid command.
mircea_popescu: fiatola "security-oriented/minded/focused/blabla" === "varmint with cheese preference". all it does is it tells the exterminator what to
bait the traps with.
a111: Logged on 2016-07-13 11:48 Framedragger: this may sound like
bait, but.... could you not just use signed commits in git, and enforce use of those commits, and use `git blame`? is the argument against this the usual "git is a shitload of code, best to start anew [and also without existing political associations re. github etc.]", or sth more than that?
mircea_popescu: trilema's even worse, there i have the time to elaborately
bait people. here i'm stuck with much shorter intervals.

☟︎ BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Anyways if you use sharbites (even if you decide to use legacy copper theft
bait) the entire spectrum of expenses incurred by the plumbing profession is eliminated on the water supply side
mircea_popescu: now, time to make a day of it, and the
bait a full wedding meal.
mircea_popescu: point remains : the "we don't know which physical object maps to the logical object called <this server>" bit worked, even in the "look but don't touch" version displayed by tor. in fact - it was the
bait in that trap.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Don't forget to change the
bait or you'll zap everything but mosquitos!
