asciilifeform: there is only one way to reliably broadcast 1) when a particular patch came to exist 2) what the present state of the art may be.

mod6: <+asciilifeform> http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=14-11-2015#1324165 << imho this is a job for deedbot << eh, Mr. P. said deedbotting the vpatches was a death-wish. ☝︎

mircea_popescu: dns, a solution nobody wants for a problem nobody has.

mircea_popescu wonders idly how much of france's current problems actually have to do with its ill inspired continuation of a once expedient, long pointless alliance with the ustards, and how much has to do with the ill advised but tribally motivated amnesty miterrand gave to the italian terrorists back when italy decided it had enough of that shit.

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

mircea_popescu: he has a pretty elaborate thing secreted there.

mircea_popescu: nobody had any trouble getting a job

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

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

asciilifeform: and there is also a pestilence of credentialism

mircea_popescu: in the following sense : printing money renders sense arbitrary, and if sense is arbitrary then specialists become just another kind of voodoo practitioners. nobody cancelled the "if you're gonmna hire a voodoo priest, hire the cheapest" rule, and so here we are.

assbot: Logged on 14-11-2015 19:57:08; asciilifeform: gives the fr folks a run for their money

asciilifeform: that is, the market is a lemon market, and folks tend to get recruited 95% via meatwot and the remainder via verifiable recs

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

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

asciilifeform: jurov: no one is ever hired specifically to do this. certainly not without a track record and recs.

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.

pete_dushenski: iranians have too long a historical memory for white worship. still remember greek ass-kick.

mircea_popescu: there isn't a place on earth he'd be moving down to, not really.

assbot: Logged on 14-11-2015 03:10:49; asciilifeform: su had a ready warm place for all the competent folks to ~defect~ (DEFECT, not flee like rats and into pederasty, but fucking defect) to

pete_dushenski: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=14-11-2015#1323614 << or why stan is still in us of a. nowhere to defect to save isis. and they're internet's even worse. ☝︎

mircea_popescu: this notion of one to one replacement as a necessity is a little bizarre, to my ears. also the notion that a 17yo could interdict any field to me is a little odd.

asciilifeform: (for the elementary reason that a 33 y.o. fella doesn't make a good 17y.o. emulator. for instance, the latter's wage won't pay the rentz. etcetcetc)

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 17:29:23; BingoBoingo: Florida's quarterback this year was suspended because he was doping with a research chemical being tested for muscle wasting in cancer patients, aka the idiot college way

mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=14-11-2015#1324119 << there is a very strict limit for testing, specifically that you can't test without reagent, and the reagent must react with something. ergo every single substance tested requires some blood. you can't take eight pints out of athletes, much less infinity pints, so you can't test for infinity things. ☝︎☟︎☟︎

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

pete_dushenski: and, like railcars, web takes a lot of mudferbrains to keep it going

pete_dushenski: everyone is a candidate for webz, which is why it's unusable

asciilifeform: just like everybody's a candidate for feeding worms

asciilifeform: but as mircea_popescu is fond of pointing out, everybody is a candidate for unloading railcars.

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

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" ☝︎

shinohai: Every problem needs a scapegoat to cover incompetence !

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

BingoBoingo: shinohai: Well, then the proper course of action is to submit a draft and let me overanal-ice it to death

BingoBoingo: shinohai: Weren't you working on a qntra piece about something?

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

mircea_popescu: what the fuck is a crossfit anyway

mircea_popescu: s and not get caught. Again, we’re not bragging, we’re trying to let you, (perhaps) a first time reader, see where we’re coming from.

mircea_popescu: the vhs tape stuck every housewife with having to be deep throat and consumer credit saddled every husband with having to be a knight, not even a squire.
