t the polar opposite of dealing with kids, you are terrifyingly bad.
mircea_popescu: douchebag, it helps immensely to have a pile of money lying about. you never know what you have to pay for ; and you don'
t want to have to take a job.
douchebag: Hell, I would even be more willing to get paid less as long as I knew it wasn'
t going to be the same shit, everyday, with no signs of ever improving
douchebag: I don'

mircea_popescu: hey, looky, i'm not saying you can'
t do better for yourself with a few simple tweaks, without requiring revolutionary, massive changes.
douchebag: Well, I've spoken to management about this and they basically told me that they aren'
t willing to do anything to actually help the customers and just want to sell our service
mircea_popescu: specifically that your expectation that the solution to the " it doesn'
t require any critical thinking, and in fact is discourages it" problem being "change the job" is about as naive as thinking the solution to "there's no deeper connection" is "change hooker".

t enjoy my current job is because it doesn'
t require any critical thinking, and in fact is discourages it. I would have a great time hacking companies and telling them how to fix their security.

☟︎ mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, the problem with you isdn'
t that you lack useful experience, but that you lack any apparent clue in how to communicate it effectually. when dealing with people who are both a) unsurprised and b) well structured, they can sometimes, if within the effort cap they're willing to expend, break up the content out of its very unfortunate prison of form. but otherwise, the communication fails to occur, and especially a
douchebag: Well, I just don'

diana_coman: because you don'
t do x and don'
t know y and etc
diana_coman: heh, weren'
t you just "I wanna pass compliance tests" one sec ago?
mircea_popescu: douchebag, it doesn'
t pay for companies to actually care about their security, because of the principal-agent problem and the easy exit "nobody could have predicted" offers.
douchebag: Primarily because they would know upfront, this isn'
t just an audit to help them pass compliance tests
diana_coman: asciilifeform, for all the world if the above doesn'
t scream "boy" at you (instead of dwarf, I don'
t know what else can)
douchebag: Because that wouldn'
t be good for business, all they let me do is install security software and configure it for customers
douchebag: asciilifeform: Well, the security firm I currently work for doesn'

☟︎ mircea_popescu: so far that's even the reason empire crossed the threshold into oblivion ( i'm too lazy to dig up ye olde trilema where i say "state may exist for as long as it so closely mimmicks my will i can'
t discern it's there, and not one second past that" ) and now must be destroyed. had it had the sense (rather, the capacity) to maintain both forms, i'd nwever have even noticed it, and it could have continued to exist therefore.
☟︎ trinque: looks like they very much want some, and don'
t want it leaking
mircea_popescu: anyway, i suspect we might be the only ones to have ~ever~ produced an item that doesn'
t specifically benefit from headcount as such.
mircea_popescu: "transform through culture -- as long as the fundamentals don'
t change". or, in caragiale's words, century+ ago, "Din două una, dați-mi voie: ori să se revizuiască, primesc! dar să nu se schimbe nimica; ori să nu se revizuiască, primesc! dar atunci să se schimbe pe ici pe colo, și anume în punctele... esențiale... Din această dilemă nu puteți ieși... Am zis! "
mircea_popescu: this is ~all they see, and therefore they believe it. hey, if you're as cute as a button and don'
t bow to patriarchy, you can just walk with a hunk of gold from fort knox.
mircea_popescu: sure. yet, for illustration : suppose camelfucker (as esltard imagines it) were sent to bomb vhs-america (as orc imagines it). the result ? after weeks of silence, "hey man, why do you want to harm these ppl, they're cool. i put in my greencard application and found a local gf, don'
t call her a whore she just likes to give head in bathrooms, it's all good"
a111: Logged on 2018-05-22 20:05 mircea_popescu: ie, even if the bank welcomed it (which it doesn'
t because they're trying to do business not participate in la revolucion), you couldn'
t in good conscience condone a process that constantly results in you processing stolen money. cuz you're not in that fucking business, and if you'd rather be then go work for the ny families or something.
mircea_popescu: now, he didn'
t figure out that his notion of "right wingers" exactly maps to "clinton democrats", but otherwise, the problems of integration still drive the democratic world.
mircea_popescu: except the people involved aren'
t good at math, in the sense of compartimentalizing things in their heads.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, except the modbug inept restatement of the foregoing attempts to enact his sponsor as some kind of aloof superior. whereas in reality it very much isn'
t, all parties are exactly equal, in their idiocy.
mircea_popescu: all three parties are captive in the system! the devils can'
t fix, because the mirvniki won'
t let them and the vory permit them to not fix ; the mirvniki won'
t fix because the vory won'
t let them and the devils permit them to not fix. and the vory won'
t fix because... the devils won'
t let them and the mirvniki permit them to not fix.
mircea_popescu: do you realise ~every single fucktarded sub 25 yo girly on fetlife~ thinks "her relationship is great" and "my guy gives me everything i want, which you couldn'
t" ?
mircea_popescu: don'
t you expect the lowest most basic requirement of any issuance to be able to produce count(issued) ?
mircea_popescu: and the devils, well, they don'
t fucking know which side their head faces. i mean, nevermind the "oh, we're the legal system of cluelessness". dja realise i personally humiliated the european union delegation at bucharest (calling tiself "romanian government" for 0 rerasons) because ~they did not know how many heads of pigs lived on the land at given date~ ?
mircea_popescu: n, not two, N! i don'
t even know HOW HIGH ABOVE A DOZEN!!! girls were... i'm not sure anyone is ready for this... they were rescued by customers.
mircea_popescu: ie, even if the bank welcomed it (which it doesn'

☟︎ mircea_popescu: now all this withstanding, asciilifeform has a point in the following sense : if you constantly end up with stolen funds, something will ahve to be done about it -- and by you, as a sane fucking person. money transfers don'
t exist so idle fucktards can sit around on wealth they didn'
t work for, "oh, i wonder if i should do my homework or read up on carding forums".
mircea_popescu: industrial process can'
t have this "maybe the money's there, maybe there isn'
t". so people who actually keep the shit moving ain'
t got time for the bs. meanwhile non-essential services get shafted all the time, nobody cares you sent 10k copies of your extra speshial ladies fashion mag.
mircea_popescu: yers they're not going to fear that ; or else may ask you whether you agree. but if you don'
t agree, the other bank will send ANOTHER request, to refund and also ban your account. which your bank again, may do even IF they met your lawyers.
mircea_popescu: there's all sorts of rot and bullshit meanwhile baked into the system, such as, "sepa" (ie, i-can'
t-believe-it's-not-a-wire eurozone-only ersatz) has a two week recallable period. other banks may have other arrangements. the standard is that the other bank will ask for the money to be sent back "voluntarily" ; the bank may do it and pretend you agreed -- and feel free to take them to court, if your lawyers never met their law
mircea_popescu: the correct approach, of course, is to not merely have an account with a bank outside of nato reich, but to have sufficient legal presence there that you get to the actual bottom of things with the bank (ie, not "retail shop clerk told me some random nonsense he assumed to be the case"), and then only clear transfers once the wire has in fact cleared (a signal most banks don'

trinque: shinohai: looks sensible to me. eulora will probably be way easier than steam, obviously, since you can'
t compile steam yourself. iirc, last time I put steam on linux, it was in an african linux chroot
mircea_popescu: the fucktards apparently can'
t reconstruct a mbr ; and who needs jfs anyway.
mircea_popescu: i'm more curious whether you had seen them. doesn'
t necessarily have to be any larger than it is.
mircea_popescu: mod6, ah, sure. can'
t say i've thought about it much nor have an oppinion. just a set of magic numbers afaik.
mod6: doesn'
t have to be, just my 0.02
ben_vulpes: lobbes: shared shell alone, i haven'
t examined the implications of this scheme for rockchips yet
a111: Logged on 2018-05-21 16:38 esthlos: but under current behaivor, program won'
t clean up tempdir when it eggogs
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: it doesn'
t make sense to put delicate items acquired with much suffering like BingoBoingo's cedula immediately into the statists hopper (localbitcoins demands "an ID" to post ads), when one can pick from the sale offers and operate on the side of the transaction where id is not asked for
☟︎ mimisbrunnr: Logged on 2018-05-17 14:40 mircea_popescu: what is behind comments like
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-05-16#1814037, "I moved more recently than this fellow and I'll get my id after he does" ? "I don'
t, properly speaking, think bb is a person, at least not in the same sense / to the same degree I am" ?
phf: spyked: you kind of have a choice between #define equivalent inline, which is going to be actual inline and increase the binary size, or else i don'
t think it really matters. supposedly the annotation makes the calls "faster", but the notion of faster is very vague. i suspect it's essentially an equivalent of "register" keyword: things are maybe sometimes reshuffled to make things maybe sometimes faster
spyked:
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-05-21#1816325 <-- it's not needed, at least not in the case of vtools. it may have been worth it if it had reduced binary size, but from my experiment it makes no difference. gcc seems to remove the definitions of static-inlined functions (after inlining them), but I don'
t really know if it does that in general.
☝︎ phf: clozure doesn'
t need to, #_mkdtemp
esthlos: clozue doesn'
