a very poor compass for one's life.

a space which mostly aims to hire 20yos << that's merely

a career. it lasted
a decade, and he quit while ahead. who the fuck in software has
a career ?
mircea_popescu: kdomanski the deep reason is that you folk can't eat on your own. obviously there's going to be
a code of conduct : he who lives in his parents house observes the fucking rules neh .

a pulse.
mircea_popescu: and ftrr, what is

a female reporter asked him why did he laugh
mircea_popescu: (that said, i very much doubt any fallout whatsoever can ever occur. so he lost

mircea_popescu: and if it stays open till early oct, nosuchlabs won't have
a server until it gets resolved.
pete_dushenski: "McNamara’s brilliant swindle was deliciously simple. It was based on one undeniable truth he learned from his years of owning
a Buick-Pontiac-GMC dealership on Long Island: General Motors and GMAC were too incompetent and too bureaucratic to figure out that they were being scammed."
pete_dushenski: "Lexus this month will begin offering
a service through its Enform telematics system that will enable dealers to remotely look into

analmaster: Hell would be heaven for me. All my life I've been with the have-nots. Over here, if you're
a have-not, you're short of dough. If you're
a have-not in hell, you're short of virtue. Once I get into hell, I'll start organizing the have-nots over there.
trinque: built
a few very successful companies though
ascii_field: 'Steve Jobs played no role at all in any of my designs of the Apple I and Apple II computer and printer interfaces and serial interfaces and floppy disks and stuff that I made to enhance the computers. He did not know technology. He’d never designed anything as
a hardware engineer, and he didn’t know software. He wanted to be important, and the important people are always the business people. So that’s wh
jurov: what happens when new shares are delayed for

a recipe for healthy teeth.
mats: and i know for
a fact this happened
pete_dushenski: this is like saying that fair trials aren't possible because putin ate
a ham&cheese croissant for breakfast.
ascii_field: 2011 trial "contributed to the mob mentality potentially inherent in instantaneous, unbridled, passionate online discourse," the court said. In light of that, the appellate court found
a fair trial wasn't possible.'
☟︎ ascii_field: 'In the immediate aftermath of Hurricane Katrina back in 2005, five former New Orleans police officers were sentenced to six to 65 years in prison in connection to on-the-job deadly shootings of unarmed civilians. But recently, these five officers had their convictions set aside by
a federal appeals court. Why? Federal prosecutors' anonymous online comments posted underneath local news accounts of the officers' ongoing
ascii_field: the land of plastic rice gives
a fuck about 'posterity' like
a dog about beets.
pete_dushenski: " It’s not going to make much of
a dent in (for example) medical insurance, thanks to the statist bastards who’ve driven health-care costs into the stratosphere through their incessant meddling. (They cost my wife her job, too – that’s been psychologically rough on her.)" << moar esr from punkman's link
☟︎ pete_dushenski: ascii_field: so maybe it's 'not hard' to turn xxxxxx into 2xxxxxx for you or i, but there's
a mountain of evidence to suggest that this is
a reasonably rare skillset
pete_dushenski: ascii_field: the point being, most people haven't the foggiest clue how to make
a dime last
a day, much less how to turn it into 15c.
trinque: maybe I can get someone to tie
a laptop to his scrotum
ascii_field: 'Earlier this year, reports emerged about plastic rice sold on the Chinese market making its way across Asia. This fake rice was

a very unappetizing plastic sheath 'that burns like plastic' when heated up.'

a crown concession, like petro-drilling the coast
pete_dushenski: "Once the man struck up
a conversation, the bot would say things like this: "Hmmmm, when I was younger I used to sleep with my friend’s boyfriends. I guess old habits die hard although I could never sleep with their husbands." and "I’m sexy, discreet, and always up for kinky chat. Would also meet up in person if we get to know each other and think there might be
a good connection. Does this sound intriguing?

pete_dushenski:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B8l11q9hsJM << “I don't think any of us—especially those five people—want to be the high priests of Bitcoin. We need to find
a new way of governing—
a new way of coming to decisions and have everyone be happy with the process and the decisions that are reached.”
