mircea_popescu: well then.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform crediting linkedin for finding work is like crediting the toilet stall for finding a new future ex wife.

mircea_popescu: and if they did, garbage can, seriously ?
mircea_popescu: somehow it doesn't occur to them that the sort of people they reach don't have fucking gold bars;
mircea_popescu: THAT is the frucking busienss model of all these internet shits, linkedin, twitter, facebook, you name it.
mircea_popescu: "imagine - if we put a garbage can in every campus, people could throw GOLD BARS!! and FAST CARS! in there".
mircea_popescu: ~the value of the ymca used clothes drop
mircea_popescu: linkedin and the rest of the post-senility berkshire investments are all a "here's where you can give us stuff".
mircea_popescu: cocacola actually ships product.
mircea_popescu: cocacola does not propoise that the reason it somehow has value (notwithstanding it exists as a rented office with five derps in it) is its "market share"
mircea_popescu: you know, like any ponzi ever, they're extracting valuable value out of trade with spain.
mircea_popescu: buyt the very chump lists in question are supposed to be the "secret" reason the "company" is "worth" n billionz.
mircea_popescu: turns out bitcoin is pretty fucking valuable, 86 btc ~= 1 bn usd.
mircea_popescu: http://qntra.net/2016/05/linkedin-dump-leaked/#comment-59005 << this is pretty fucking epic. linkedin, market-valued at 1/17 the valuation of bitbet.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-05-18#1468064 << have to understand just how deep the rabbit hole goes. stuff like http://btcbase.org/log/2016-05-12#1466217 ☝︎☝︎

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-05-18#1468036 << this is exactly how it works neh ? ☝︎
mircea_popescu: heh k.
mircea_popescu: $google agora lovecruft ☟︎
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-05-18#1468027 << who is this ? ☝︎
mircea_popescu: ask him if he wants to wot.
mircea_popescu: seems like a nice fellow
mircea_popescu: 2-3 not for you ; 4 for you eventually, depending on dfemand. maybe autumnish
mircea_popescu: punkman you got anywhere with that torrent thing ?
mircea_popescu: 1 is something you must do yourself, ideally asap. 2 and 3 is something others can do and therefore should. 4 is not urgent. so therefore : do 1 and move on to other things for a while.
mircea_popescu: 4. convert the phuctor key db into a sks as per republican spec. the strategy being that we will confiscate all public key crypto just like we confiscated bitcoin from the fucktarded zombie horde.
mircea_popescu: 3. get the ssh keys, the github keys, and the silk road dump keys 2'd and fed into phuctor.
mircea_popescu: 2. get the rsa conversion to the official tmsr universal rsa format discussed in logs.
mircea_popescu: 1. make the 8ball auto-update on a reasonable server load, fully automated. this will provide nice passive gains. also have it published somewhere.
mircea_popescu: anyway, i'd say that in the interest of conserving manpower, the realtime leeching should not be a priority (honestly, it wasn't in my mind anyway, giving the ease with which hitler'd have turned it off anyway). instead the priorities for phuctor are :
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform ah i see. that's unfortunate.
mircea_popescu: and why'd you install "a server" as distinct from just merging phuctor db ? wtf is this, since when do we credit sks-pr ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform define "will not work" ?
mircea_popescu: Framedragger you can self-voice, pm deedbot $v
