mircea_popescu: might be
the first person cured by republican methods.
mircea_popescu is enjoying
this
trinque branching out into
talk
therapy business.
trinque: well
they're awful, aren't
they
douchebag: I find it difficult
to relate
to most people
trinque must have autisms, spent most of
the weekend in
trb guts
mircea_popescu: as alf says, "didn't everyone do
that in kindergarten???"
douchebag: My interest
typically
take over my life
douchebag: I can sit in front of my computer for 36 hours straight researching a specific
topic
☟︎ trinque: douchebag: how do you define
that "autism"
mircea_popescu: relax, go
talk
to girls. planning is best used in moderation.
douchebag: I'm very high functioning, most people in real life cannot even
tell until
they have known me for a long
time.
mircea_popescu: "i'm
the
type of person who likes
to smoke" "why ?" "a lot of cancer cases in my family". really now!
douchebag: I'm just
the
type of person who likes
to plan ahead,
that's all
mircea_popescu: well why do you care, cross
that bridge when you get
to it.
douchebag: I've just been
trying
to
think ahead about what I should do with my life. As of now I have a pretty solid plan in
terms of getting started and whatnot, I'll definitely be living comfortable. I'm just not sure what I should
try
to do after
that
to
douchebag: I'm just not completely sure about how I am going
to go about
that
douchebag: I would like
to be successful one day, I don't mind if I don't become super rich however I would like
to be able
to live rather comfortably and possibly retire early
mircea_popescu: the cost of polishing a hunk of crystal into something more or less ballsyform are degrees of magnitude under
the costs involved in convincing a
top witch
to support your balls.
these products can
therfore be successful if and only if
they're pushed by a market dominator".
mircea_popescu: aite, here : "does ubervu have a chance of ever being profitable ? absolutely never.
there's complicated considerations involved, but principally determinant
two : first, and absolutely unsurmountable, is
that such products do not add any value, but are merely used in
the way witches use crystal balls. exactly in
the way.
therefore,
the more popular witches decide
the brand of "best" crystal balls
☟︎☟︎ douchebag: to
try
to avoid any security issues
that could affect
the company
douchebag: Oh yes I understand
that, I'm not really looking
to sell 0day exploits, I mean starting a security company
to provide penetration
testing services
to companies. A lot of places are required
to hire a pentester or
team of pentesters
☟︎☟︎ douchebag: Eventually, I would like
to start a company of some sort providing security solutions
to companies as well as hire pentesters
to work for me.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: there is ~some~ actual substance
to it, however it's almost entirely a subclass of being a systems programmer.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: meanwhile, being an "academic" is not a career path. you can in principle go
to any sort of school or none whatsoever
to make an academic as good as any other, and nobody could discern
this by examining you -- ie,
there's a lot of dispute as
to
the
training format. after you do or do not, every year you practice you stay at most as good as you were, and your market value generally decreases. eventually
they "revolutionize"
th
mircea_popescu: here's what i mean : being a doctor is a career path. you have
to, mind, HAVE
TO go
to a certain fixed form schooling ;
there's no dispute as
to
this. after you do, every year you practice you get better, and your market value improves. eventually decay sets in and you retire.
mircea_popescu: well,
the problem with it is
that it's not actually much of a career path.
douchebag: mircea_popescu: I want a career as a pentester, so far I feel I'm doing pretty good in
terms of getting experience and reputation in
the community. Do you have any suggestions for ways I
that could get further on my career path?
☟︎☟︎ douchebag: I started class
today, my
teacher provides every assignment
the first day of class I'm pretty sure I can complete it all in a few days so I suppose I'll have plenty of
time
to focus on
that
throughout
this semester
douchebag: Ooh interesting idea, I'll have
to look more into
that
mircea_popescu: doesn't have
to be fancy/portable/optimizing/etcetera.
mircea_popescu: douchebag you could
try writing your own c compiler. it's
traditionally how
this is
taught afaik.
trinque: I dunno about low level exploitation leetsauce, but when I was learning some ppc asm I wrote a sad little scheme in
the stuff
douchebag: And low level memory exploitation?
Those are some areas I'm interested in learning about but I need
to learn more.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: lol she's not permitted
to
talk
to you dangerous characters! at least not yet!
mod6: A last question
that I had:
The original uses /bin/bash,
the new changes include changing
the shell
to /bin/sh, is
this intended, if so, why?
☟︎ mod6: It would be good
to have others verify
the same before we deed
this new change & post
to
the foundation website.
mircea_popescu: and in general if
this current
trend continues of 1. i ask for something ; 2. you deliver something entirely else ; 3. i point
this out ; 4. nothing happens we're going
to have a serious problem. how did you figure
these are wire details, what, you never in your life saw a wire ? wtf is "Beneficiario Final: (Razón Social o Nombre Completo del Cliente y N° de Cuenta en Montevideo)" ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: other
than
that,
these details are disfunctional. compile an actually correct and complete set, without "to be filled later" metasyntactic notations.
☟︎ a111: Logged on 2018-01-21 15:25 mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo do a few
trades with
the locals
to get a feeling of
the place an' report ; also gpgram me
the story of bbisp fiat holdings ab origine.

http://archive.is/3uTCK <<< "We have investors
that pay us
to
throw car show. I
took funds and invest in BITCONNECT in DEC 2017.
They run wit money n I dunno what
to do."
mircea_popescu: aaaanyway, as
they say, "i can't believe i ate
the whole
thing!"
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-22#1774473 <<
the problem is
there's not what
to have
them do for even 14 hours a week.
there's just
too many of
them,
they're just
too fucking useless, and
they literally expect
to live better
than
their parents. nuttery of
the sort wasn't encountered ever since people on sunken
titanic expected waltz
to sound just as good underwater!!!
☝︎ mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo you know
this $800 accountant was deeply fucking useless ; no bank account, no vat anullment, wtf.
☟︎ a111: Logged on 2018-01-22 21:30 asciilifeform: ( by same argument,
the 'armoredcoin' youtube clip, also cost.. )
BingoBoingo: And exports from
the local me
to
the foreign
TMSR as exports do not incur VAT

BingoBoingo: mistyped,
the way
to not pay VAT was
to pay still more for a "Free Zone User License"
The way
to recoup some VAT is
to search for some sorta hustle
to get cash out of
the locals.
mircea_popescu: also didn't you end up NOT having
to pay vat, as per export etc ? or what was
that discussion
a111: Logged on 2018-01-22 20:24 asciilifeform: in other oddities from asciilifeform's wwwtron referlog :
http://armoredcoin.org << anybody here wants
to confess
to authorship of
this ? it claims interop with
trb , compliance with asciilifeform's '7laws' , etc

the 22% VAT, Apparently per unit price comes down quite a bit ordered in quanity.
They haven't been able

mircea_popescu: there's girls
that were born IN
THIS MILLENIUM! and
they're not even
THAT jailbaity.
mircea_popescu: these are
twenty year olds yo! do you understand ? original "pgp is munitions!!!" lulz happened BEFORE
THEY WERE BORN.
mircea_popescu: but, one day at a
time.
this slut -- gpg4win. maybe in
the future...
a111: Logged on 2018-01-22 19:39 phf: hmm,
that's a relevant point
to original "blog it!" because looking for
those
threads is work :> certainly more work
than searching
through own blog
mircea_popescu: the literal kind, "how shall i deliver
this pics of me doing
things".
BingoBoingo: I haven't
talked with
them directly yet. I'm writing
the email now asking for a list, including prices for quantities greater
than one.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo so you never
talked with
that importer or it dun have a list or what is it
a111: Logged on 2018-01-22 19:34 asciilifeform: phf: on one hand, asciilifeform oughta
take better notes. on other , phf really oughta have blog!11
mircea_popescu: is
the dc handling supply itself,
they don't outsource ?
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Because
they haven't produced a whole list of machines yet.

http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-22#1774395 << what i don't understand is how i can have
the same conversation ~with ascii~ over and over again and still he'd be repeating
the same original stuff. i don't
think it's a question of my blog here, unless you're saying
that me saying
things in log have no merit because i don't have a blog post
to back it up with.
this is a novel
take by
the way, because log used
to be canon
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-22#1774399 << entirely separate concerns. as
to 1, yes, we all have repeated conversations with alf in
this vein, i dunno what exactly
to do about it ; 2.
the quality of your killshot was poor, and it is my
theory
that
this is because
the sort of
topic would greatly benefit from
the cohesive power of an article ; nothing
to do with log not being canon, but a matter of collected convenience.
