pete_dushenski: "Greece is very much oligarch-ridden" << because i'm sure greece would be in an EVEN BETTER financial position if only the power were returned to the puddles of mud who voted 'oxi'.
asciilifeform: 'Could this have been done without any “red terror”? I doubt it. Greece is very much oligarch-ridden; even the celebrated former Syriza FM Yanis Varoufakis is the son an industrial magnate. The Greek oligarchs and the rich would have had to be rounded up and held as hostages. Numerous people in the government and in the military have a split allegiance—they work for Europe, not for Greece. They would have had to be sacke

decimation: asciilifeform: I think you can just buy them from visa, amex, etc

trinque: couple more of those and I'll stop
trinque: asciilifeform: hell I've learned a great deal being *here*
asciilifeform: (and the folks i work with - are very much not 'etsy artefactual expert' types)
mircea_popescu: i yield the balance of my time, to the future programmers.
mircea_popescu: anyway, i took this as far as i care to. gotta admit it's a fine if unpleasant argument
mircea_popescu: where is the place ? do i go to microsoft and learn how programming's done fo real by pros ?
trinque: right, "weekend appz" as I said
asciilifeform: i am not impressed.
mircea_popescu: i think it's been perverted in the evil clutches of ustardism tho.

trinque: I chewed some baby woodrose seeds one time, was pretty weird
cazalla: trinque, preddy sure nut meg was in some cook book alongside banana skins ( i tried both afterall)
mircea_popescu: im not looking for anything too elaborate. do a formal "here's everything" bit and i'll call it good.
mats: mircea_popescu: i can build a table for 4 (total score, number of cases), but what sort of statistical data are you looking for? the set is small and idk how you'd judge the quality of the data
asciilifeform: when i took organic chem at uni, for some reason 'extract myristicin from the nutmeg' was the first lab session
assbot: Erowid Experience Vaults: Nutmeg - Not at all what I expected! - 21663 ... ( https://archive.is/https://www.erowid.org/experiences/exp.php?ID=21663 )
mats: mircea_popescu: part V is covered in the first signed message, it follows the list of cases http://trilema.com/2013/so-whos-running-the-courts-circus/#comment-113478 and i chose trilema as the venue for public review
asciilifeform: the miracast almost makes me wish i had a tv set. would plug it in, watch blockchain go

asciilifeform: i learned of the jekem crap from uncle al, incidentally
gabriel_laddel: I was never party to either of those, so idk
asciilifeform: (or perhaps i am enthusiastically for it, but only because misanthropy)
asciilifeform: to paraphrase naggum, yes, i am against surgery club for kidz
gabriel_laddel: well, actually I'm against chess club
gabriel_laddel: phf: but whatever, I'm not against chess club
assbot: Logged on 15-05-2015 03:32:27; mircea_popescu: mats went to check out the courts article, seems there's quite a bit left to go before i can close & award it. http://trilema.com/2013/so-whos-running-the-courts-circus/#selection-317.0-325.66
phf: gabriel_laddel: original meaning is "remote team briefly works face to face". i think hackathons without shared context and common goal are fundamentally misguided
asciilifeform: this is probably the smallest - masswise and volumewise - linux box that i've ever owned
asciilifeform: the last time i plugged the thing into a display, i configured it to sit down on a wireless lan
phf: that's an old school notion, trickster as a hero and all that, but i don't think this is that. these people are not even hustlers, i don't think there's any awareness there.
gernika: There was one hackathon which, at the time I hated, but in retrospect had some redeeming value to it. People formed their own teams and worked on their own ideas and at the end, the CEO judged the results.
phf: trinque: i was at one "interview" with a guy with zero programmer experience, straight from "you can do anything!" video, we're talking "dropped out of art degree to become a waiter, but hours were brutal, so i want to become a programmer"
phf: we had a better thing than hackathon. a small group of junior developers were tasked with designing a curriculum and writing tutorials for training people with zero computer skills to become rails developers. to, i shit you not, "help disadvantaged peoples".
phf: it took me a while to even realize that the majority of employees had less then 3 years of programming experience, majority of managers had no software project experiences, etc. i didn't really understand until experiencing it first hand, that a large software company can be so utterly dysfunctional. and yet "we're all winners!"
phf: gernika: i didn't have to endure much, except shortage of competent underlings, but i witnessed cto organizing hackathon for other teams, and it was painful. blind leading the blind
phf: i worked for one such company last year, joined out of curiousity, but stayed to finish projects i was responsible for. the amount of dysfunctional behavior was staggering.
gernika: That's the reason I can't work as a startup employee anymore: they want you to *believe*
kakobrekla: that parsing and saving is very slow on some sites and i dunno if we want to hit him with everything ?
mircea_popescu: good enough i guess.
mircea_popescu: "oh here's a backroom napkin scribbled with my protest over the culture of backroom dealing these people imported into our fine organisation of delusions of transparency. i am too stupid to understand how ridiculous i'm being. NEOTENY FOR THE VICTORY!!11"
chetty: <mircea_popescu> next i'm gonna hear shit farmers in kenya think they're pulling the sun up each morning.// they aren't?
mircea_popescu: next i'm gonna hear shit farmers in kenya think they're pulling the sun up each morning.
asciilifeform: probably will fill some time reasonably soon, at which point i'll finally cancel the contract on it
mircea_popescu: aha. if you wish to pro-rate towards nsa budget i'll ok it.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: using a box i've been hiring for years, 'in case'
asciilifeform: meanwhile i'm about to stand up another node!
mircea_popescu: the "sell support" model has been thoroughly debunked in the field. or at least that's the moral i draw from revierwing history.
mod6: I linked him
mircea_popescu: <BingoBoingo> Looks like Qntra survived this weekend better than Gawker did https://archive.is/joOPE << kinda hard to keep a job that doesn't come with a salary i guess.
mircea_popescu: trinque i think the manuals are the secret reason keeping any bsd userbase.
mircea_popescu: i merely do not give enough of a shit about the cause celebre du jour to neglect technical arguments for its sake.
mircea_popescu: i just don't happen to be clueless enough to confuse those for "Scalability". considering i am not actually a technical expert, this reflects very poorly opn the intellectual abilities and assorted scholarship of random derps opining on nasdaq.com
