mircea_popescu: there's really no good way to describe it outside of "here are stupid people in a historical valley". i it's a mix of factoring, leasing and outsourcing supply provisioning + financing in one package.

phf: gibson in his latest novel has something similar happen to 3d printers, i.e. suburban shops that get 3d printers on credit, manufacture replacement parts on demand from stl or verbal description

mircea_popescu: i suspect germany (all opf the machines had to be german!!1) made marginally more money selling the gear than the women in question saved, had exports been allowed.

phf: i think in su the purpose of sewing machine was to pirate french pret-a-porter that would not be otherwise accessible in stores. could buy sewing pattern magazines, i.e. Burda. aunt made some side money in the 70s making garments "like them french girls"

mircea_popescu: obviously i have no relation to either the woman or her line of work, and she could just as well do it on her own, but i'm aspiring to be as cool as Chowcoolie Whatsiname one day.

mircea_popescu: that should the nobel committee decide to give stoya the peace prize i am prepared to accept it on her behalf

mircea_popescu: in other news, i would like to announce

phf: mircea_popescu: the second. i think you dump ingredients, bread comes out, but enough manual steps that people still manage to not use it. maybe cleaning is the time consuming part..

mircea_popescu: i suppose the enduring popularity these chunks of nonsense enjoyed should make no one surprised at the 3d printer mania.

danielpbarron: i don't even use that; I kneed by hand

phf: danielpbarron: yeah, girl bakes bread in oven on the regular, i just stick to poor engineer's substitute for day to day-- chapatis

danielpbarron: i don't use that stupid machine either

phf: actually in u.s. breadmakers is one of those appliances, that people buy and then never use. i know because every time bread comes up in conversation, an owner will point out that they have one. somehow they still buy cardboard bread at store, and only break out breadmaker on special occasions, if ever.

pete_dushenski: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CTyWe0sWoAAUi9B.jpg << i dun get it

phf: i've learned recently that one of the larger usian pro-embargo lobbies are pistachio manufacturers

mircea_popescu: i know, that's where i get mine

mircea_popescu: i couldn't give less of a shit what they do. if tomorrow california falls in the ocean i won't notice, nor care.

mircea_popescu: mod6 i c :p

mod6: anyway, i think the real thing I was getting at there as sort of an alternative host incase of necessary reboot or maint to the other host.

jurov: i already did for mpex proxies, they resolved very erratically

mircea_popescu: (i confess i have been contemplating changing to ip-based addresses instead of domains)

jurov: i don't pay them bitcoins

assbot: Logged on 14-11-2015 21:49:33; jurov: mircea_popescu et al.: i am using joker.com registrar, it does have sane interface unchanged in past 10 years

jurov: btw, i was not normal boy. was never allowed out to the street, granny was too afraid

trinque: I kid

asciilifeform: but i'm running low on hypothetical-juice

asciilifeform: so in soviet yugo, supposing i'd grown up there, i'd possibly be something more like jurov.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i believe.

trinque: I was born here and I still live as though in enemy territory

asciilifeform: believe or not i was a perfectly normal boy (complete with the normal fistfights etc) before being forcibly removed to the land of monkeys

jurov: i don't get it. you could then get nice money fixing vhs recorders and smuggling diskettes and whatever

asciilifeform: jurov: but i'd sorta like to avoid pederasty

mircea_popescu: i should prolly publish those emails sometimes, it was a fucking riot.

asciilifeform: and as i saw personally when trying to hire folks

asciilifeform: it is no longer enough to have a uni degree (which i have, in ol'fashioned 'comp sci', fwiw) but also various trained monkey cert idiocies

mircea_popescu: i took ad in obscure local paper, requiring complex engineering quals,

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform this i saw in romania. was required by law to advertise job to create eu residency permit for slavegirl.

asciilifeform: i don't expect mircea_popescu to like ru poetry any more than i expect my phriend from .in to like british.

mircea_popescu: he fucking has me there, i never worked, nor ever hired in the us.

asciilifeform: because i'm a wizard ~of something~

jurov: i was "already" there as sysadmin, so what?

jurov: not that hard. and i have social skills of practically deaf hermit

jurov: i then squeezed $$$ out of them

jurov: asciilifeform: i was not hired specifically to do that, but had to. cuz i was the only one who had a clue in whole fucking company

mircea_popescu: honestly i've rarely seen a 17yo male able to find his way to cunt if blindfolded in a roomfull of spread eagled whores, but that's just my limited experience talking, i'm sure.

jurov: btw, i have never seen 17yo able to fix problem somewhere deep in html/js/css stack, or even being able to do multicolumn design with misc resize contraints from first principles ☟︎

asciilifeform: shitheads - sure. and i'm what, an instantly likable lolcat?

asciilifeform: but i do know that ru folk contracting in ir get hazard pay.

asciilifeform: i don't disagree re: the imams.

pete_dushenski: have to be pretty adaptable to cut it in tehran, i'd think

mircea_popescu: i'd take the imams any day when it comes to religious nuts.

mircea_popescu: i mean... looky, my time wasn't free when i was 15, either.

mircea_popescu: i would replace ALL of them

mircea_popescu: see, if i decide going back to 11th grade, i wouldn't replace ONE 17yo

mircea_popescu: right. i know.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i did write 'phuctor'. i don't avoid dealing with www browser, what i avoid is being a labour peer with 17yo cannon fodder.

asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: on the off chance that you find this interesting, i don't avoid www dev because 'it is dirty' - at this very moment i'm dealing with undocumented idiocies in the win7 kernel. but because it is a '17y.o. thing'

assbot: Logged on 14-11-2015 02:32:37; mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes i'm rich. money insulates people. TO THEIR DETRIMENT.

assbot: Logged on 14-11-2015 02:30:05; mircea_popescu: i took over a whole fucking province with less than 150 people./

asciilifeform: i mean, i 'pick and choose' in the sense a surgeon chooses to slice guts instead of unloading railcars, yes

asciilifeform: who said i were or could, l0l

pete_dushenski: right, which is why i doubt it takes much awareness to realise how garbage the webstack is.

asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: much as i'd like, i haven't escaped earth orbit entirely (unlike, e.g., mircea_popescu)

pete_dushenski: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=14-11-2015#1323513 << says mr. "require 10,001 things that i don't have. mainly abilities/proclivities/experiences/intuitions. incl. a basic meatspace social life" ☝︎

funkenstein_: guys with middle kingdom hats I guess

pete_dushenski: i'm coming around to the theory that they're too smart to grant that much independence and autonomy willy nilly

funkenstein_: on a related note I never did care which sporting club logo is on the hat of the guys making the cpu

jurov: and as long swiss people are in charge, i don't expect them to

jurov: mircea_popescu et al.: i am using joker.com registrar, it does have sane interface unchanged in past 10 years ☟︎

pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: i thought of you when reading sam kriss' review of the latest bond flick, spectre. particularly the bits about Cthulhu and Necronomicon references

asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: re: israel article: anecdote. a few yrs back, on the porch of my old flat, neighbour playing guitar, 'hatikva' (why? no one knows.) pet, to me: 'why is this fella playing 'languishing in auschwitz' ??!' me: 'you forgot - this is an actual song, i broke it'

mod6: for the money, i don't think its a big deal. one year of uptime, no problems, it's just a website.

assbot: Logged on 14-11-2015 16:35:18; punkman: from the i-dont-even department http://www.dailydot.com/politics/paris-attack-encryption-snowden/

shinohai: I guess they have to apply their "yearly updates" or whatever. Never used AWS much.

punkman: speaking of which, I have the cutest little goat ribs marinating in the fridge

punkman: from the i-dont-even department http://www.dailydot.com/politics/paris-attack-encryption-snowden/ ☟︎

shinohai: Roger Ver strikes me as the type that would sue Qntra and myself if I wrote apiece on him and his vote-brigading bitcoin forum for example.

shinohai: I also have a bad habit of mocking ppl like Gavin and R. Ver which makes me look unprofessional. Funny though.

shinohai: At one time ... I am the worst person at over-analyzing anything I write to death. I may shock you and submit something one day.

BingoBoingo: ;;later tell pete_dushenski What is you opinion on the "mini moon" style hubcaps as applied to sedans. I'm thinking about removing the cheap plastic wheel covers and classing up my steelies.

BingoBoingo: I like MicOrSit as in "Get slipped a mickey or sit on this cock already"

mircea_popescu: o check it out, reddit stopped loading worth a shit either sometime in between today and last i looked

mircea_popescu: o hey check it out, joining charlie yankee in his Operation Being Stupid I through XXVIII reeeeally paid off for the euros.

punkman: "That does it. We're going nuclear on their asses." "But your enemy is actually *a meme*." "Fuck it. I said nuclear."

punkman: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=14-11-2015#1323345 << I've heard a couple cases where they suspended bunch of domains for stupid reasons ☝︎

phf: huh, that's true, i might have a romanticized view of rimbaud

mircea_popescu: who am i going to name, the rich teutonic tradition ?

asciilifeform: i think at least 1 in that photo is actually female

phf: http://img375.imageshack.us/img375/9982/hellsangels.jpg << i mean they look almost effeminate by present herpaderp standards, because fat==muscle

asciilifeform: this is incidentally the year which i inhabit in my delusion.

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i haven't checked the inside of the fish either

BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> BingoBoingo: i dun think i've ever seen this. << have you checked the gutter down by the river?

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i dun think i've ever seen this.

mircea_popescu: i know at least a coupla girls that were dirt poor.

asciilifeform: go broke in usa (and i mean ~properly~ broke, no backup) and you will be poor, fat, and permanently stupid in short order

asciilifeform: if mircea_popescu were awake, he might say 'poor and stupid is the same' and i can't say that he's wrong, but to try to put an arrow of causality in either direction is imho stark nonsense

asciilifeform: can't speak for BingoBoingo, but i don't think i've ever seen epicly, memorably fat people outside of places where dirt poor folk habitually gather

asciilifeform: and i bet their hr chix are thin.

asciilifeform: i already have a gig as furniture, don't need to move for that
