pete_dushenski: BingoBoingo: sure i am.
Belxjander: okay...as soon as I can then...preferably with my desktop and not from this tablet and rpi-znc setup
Belxjander: then I'll screengrab this for now and get to that sometime after getting online at my new address then
Belxjander: pete I'm not saying that... I'm surprised the bot can't find me in the WoT
Belxjander: I'm in the middle of moving so don't really have time to mess with everything until after getting network access sorted at the new place
Belxjander: what the hell does it mean I'm not in the WoT
pete_dushenski: "my betters suck, they just can't see it like i do"
mircea_popescu: anyway. have you happened to at any point notice the similarity between the "companies promoite the wrong people - not me!" and the usual complaint trhe same people make about women "they fuck jerks instead of seeing how much of a great sense of humor i have" ?
gernika: mircea_popescu I had hopes, yes.
gernika: pete_dushenski: cool. I think my problem with Rao now is that he bases the Gervaise Principle off of The Office which was written by kids like B.J. Novak - and how the hell does he know anything about what executives do? He may, I just don't see how he got the knowledge.
pete_dushenski: gernika: i'll give it a peek here.
gernika: pete_dushenski anyway I admit I was fond of the Gervais Principle, and it gave me a model to try and think about wtf executives and managers do all day.
gernika: pete_dushenski sadly unfamiliar with their work. I totally missed out on the tardstalk madness.
pete_dushenski: i honestly just stumbled across this rao dude today and he happened to serve up the right fodder at the right moment. so i fired, fired, fired away.
pete_dushenski: gernika: can't say i am. link ?
mircea_popescu: in other news, review of various wallets etc shows that most of my bitcoin are over 500 days old. holy shit i need larger blocks imminently! ☟︎
pete_dushenski: "What we - and yes, I include myself firmly in this much despised camp – view as degeneracy are the expected developments ; that is, the highly predictable and completely foreseeable destruction wrought by making good things “accessible” and “easy-to-use.”" << this is what stands from plato's lament
pete_dushenski: i was feeling soldiery today so i... soldiered on.
mircea_popescu: i don't think you were that unmessy to begin with anyway.
asciilifeform: in the sense of something i might conceivably one day 'come back from'
asciilifeform: revealed by the most recent experiment i suggested
mircea_popescu: draw out this simile for my benefit, i dun follow.
mircea_popescu: nah. if "blue blood" i nthe sense of, willing to put up a fucking banner.
mircea_popescu: i never ran things in that dumb manner.
asciilifeform: i know of nothing which was ever run in any other way.
mircea_popescu: i'm quite flattered, honestly. to think someone hates my shit enough that he's willing to spend to mess with it for part of a day likely more than what people paid to read it in its entire history...
mircea_popescu: seriosly, i'd like to point out the pattern of it. clearly the guy is buying tailings, ie, overflow traffic/whatever's available to fit his budget. ends up with what overflows.
asciilifeform: gernika, mircea_popescu: actually this is still sop. i am the odd man out among my circle for ~never~ having done a lick of honest work
assbot: Logged on 02-08-2015 01:07:52; TheNewDeal: I'm thinking of adding perhaps 2 days equivalent timeweight. Say weight it 21000, two days ago weight was 23600. I would accept your amount, and pay out on the timeweight two days prior, 23600. Terms negotiable
gernika: mircea_popescu I thought all usians dipped fries in the frier as teens or college students at least. Do the younger ones not go through that anymore?
assbot: Logged on 04-05-2015 18:55:44; ascii_field: not even chumps, as such - many of these folks (i usedto work with'em) are laughing all the way to the bank, riding the thermodynamic waterfall between usd salary and cn cost of living
mircea_popescu: actually i would guess currently the earned income this way is about 12-15kish a year.
mircea_popescu: or i should expect it;s obvious
asciilifeform: (and yes, i test'em before posting, but i mean here ~really~ test!)
mircea_popescu: shit i stepped away for a second and i got way behind
decimation: took up about 10 racks if I recall
decimation: I recall the working s/360 as being very ... large
decimation: I actually visited a fully-operating s/360 working at an faa ARTCC as a youth
decimation: I would bet $20 that they aren't gonna use a 'triplex' computer to replace it
decimation: asciilifeform: but the point I was making with the s/360 is that apparently the one the FAA used for ARTCC was a 'triplex' computer with full voting!
gernika: decimation You're right I see the tie-in.
asciilifeform: last i checked, david schmidt will sell these for ~200 or so
decimation: asciilifeform: somewhat related, I was reading about system 360 earlier today
asciilifeform: all i can say to this is - don't lend mircea_popescu yer microscopez
asciilifeform: ~i~ wouldn't hire'em if i were them, either.
asciilifeform: where you walk in to a 'cooks wanted', 'i need a job', they: 'you will leave as soon as you find work programming again, go away now'
asciilifeform: but i was speaking of more mundane situation
asciilifeform: what do i pretend instead ?
asciilifeform: let's say i pretend my diploma never happened, and my whole adult life of working r&d never happened
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=04-08-2015#1223506 << i've said it before, will say again: if you can fake your way out of 'overqualified, go away' when applying to be a cook or street sweeper, you can and will work profitably in hollywood or cia ☝︎☟︎
decimation: asciilifeform: I made this point awhile ago about 'roth' ira accounts
decimation: I suppose my hypothesis is that if assets were demoninated in actual hard currency they wouldn't be able to run this kind of ponzi
decimation: this is why I find the baby boomer whining about old people medical care and old people direct payments
assbot: Logged on 21-02-2015 01:19:34; mircea_popescu: "she's been going through 6-7k each month since autumn, but i get to go visit p diddy whenever i feel like it. it's a wash"
asciilifeform: now, not swinging that way, i cannot say for certain how saturated the gay pr0n market is, but will observe that they lack the sexual starvation of the straight
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform iirc i have, sort-of.
asciilifeform: why would i pay for that
mircea_popescu: i said "Something to sell", i didn't say nudity. that's free.
mircea_popescu: So it's all right and pooper that I'd be dealing in the tens of billions while her net worth is in the tens of millions, roughly enough to buy a whole closet where she lives. Right ?
mircea_popescu: You may think that point-whatever billion is hardly worth the mention, after all I'm white and male and go with the tech stuffs, rather than almost-not-black and female, going with the cocksucking-and-other-homemaking-stuff. You know, cheap textile "labels", perfumes, the Martha Stewart lot. Like this chick :
mircea_popescu: increasingly, becoming a problem i nthe us, too.
assbot: Logged on 03-08-2015 17:24:58; trinque: ascii_field: I don't expect for a moment that you could possibly fake "stupid"
mircea_popescu: so i hear it from a trustworthy source in sweden that the local libertards have come up woith this idea to replace whatever word is used for cunt with "snipa" which apparently means sparkle
mircea_popescu: it'd be great if they pursued their "strategic" of learning how to sp'eal i'ts wordses an sheit
mircea_popescu: "In spit of these events, we hope that CT will be able to continue pursuing its strategic of increasing it’s market share and become the one-stop news source for the crypto-community. We wish you to remain strong in spirit and for a quick market recovery." << i suppose the tie-in is something like "small blocks made our shit blog ad revenue shrink in an imaginary market that doesn't exist but we hallucinated into bei
danielpbarron: lol i met one of their authors
assbot: Logged on 03-08-2015 17:00:46; jurov: i will be paid *if* i someday make sense of eulora spaghetti client
mircea_popescu: and no, i wouldn't buy him the sandpaper to grind down his glans penis with.
assbot: Logged on 03-08-2015 16:57:18; ascii_field: 'As a final station, I'd like to describe what online freelancer markets look like for people like me. On freelancer.com and oDesk, you compete with hundreds of lowest-wage programmers from third world countries for exceedingly crappy "projects". It's an unmitigated race to the bottom. Even if I could land these jobs in an environment where the competition basically works for free, there is no way to ma
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=03-08-2015#1223204 << this is not actually true. i have had slavegirls make a living off those things, as a learning exercise. disciplined work ethic earns a very decent living, and forever will. the problem is that for most white adolescents/young adults, that work ethic has to be supported with daily beatings for the first quarter at least. ☝︎
assbot: Logged on 03-08-2015 15:18:53; punkman: "I'm also on fiverr.com now, a site where you can offer any service for $5 a pop. I offer things like mini websites, setting up cloud servers, and many other tech jobs. The reality is my expertise is barely even worth $5 in today's market, so I frequently take on multi-hour horror projects on fiverr just to make four bucks (they take $1 commission)"
mircea_popescu: i really don't give a shit for the other side of the coin
assbot: Logged on 03-08-2015 14:19:14; shinohai: got 'em, and yeah i have only been syncing against mp's node
mircea_popescu: williamdunne i eat the world, the world doesn't eat me.
assbot: Logged on 03-08-2015 14:06:53; asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=03-08-2015#1223002 << at this point i gotta ask, why are any of you still using the phoundation turd for anything
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=03-08-2015#1223061 << i kinda have grown to like the self-absorbed srs this type of schmucks radiate every time they get fucked. ☝︎
shinohai: Hmmm. i think I have incorrect video drivers, but pass works, thanks
assbot: Logged on 03-08-2015 09:02:58; cazalla: anyone know what is going on here? http://dpaste.com/2HMWH8Z.txt i get stuck at block 367896, tried copying over to another pc and same deal, hits block 367896 and shits itself and spews please update messages (which i even tried over the weekend for shits and giggles with their 0.11 bitcoin core client but it crashes with core dumps or some shit, can't even go from genesis to current block on a fresh insta
shinohai: wb mircea_popescu, when you have time I need a eulora pass
Xplosionist: Ahh. Okay. Clearly I didn't read it carefully enough. Although, I would suggest that making that detail more obvious might be of value.
Xplosionist: I did look in the FAQ. Maybe put it there.
kakobrekla: i should make it clear on site prolly.
Xplosionist: Ahh. Okay then. Of course, what's I'm looking at is resolved 1 day 22 hours ago. lol Figured.
Xplosionist: I see the links for the addresses, but I'd like to see the specific transaction of the pay-out listed.
Xplosionist: after a bet is resolved, is there a place I can see the transactions for the payouts?
Xplosionist: i have a bitbet.us technical question.
kakobrekla: ah, I thought we should run.
mike_c: i mean, fuck you! maybe i don't want to update everything
trinque: jurov: yeah, I have met the same type. he should've asked you for a task, and done it. only way to learn.
mike_c: really? i guess i'm getting too old for this stuff.
mike_c: hehe, step one for the installation of this product i want to try: curl -L https://redacted.sh | sudo bash
ascii_field: so i'll have to get in a long queue
chetty: well now you are getting down to a matter of taste, I kinda liked truckin
ascii_field: i personally will try to drive a truck
jurov: i asked him to learn python, not heard since
jurov: i asked him to write eu project, he won't without micromanaging
jurov: maybe. i remembered one friend of mine who has similar difficulties
trinque: ah I had mentors
jurov: i have learned the interesting stuff by myself, not fro friends
trinque: I loathe most people, yet being a competent coder without being able to communicate is impossible.
