assbot: Logged on 04-08-2015 00:28:01; mircea_popescu: the latter is guaranteed to take a while. the former may take even longer depending on how familiar you are with mashing computers into shape.
cazalla: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=03-08-2015#1223127 <<< as much as i'd like to fuck a different woman each night, i usually settle for a tissue.. who knows maybe i'll get lucky on the weekend when/if i try to get the foundation's client up and running ☝︎

Belxjander: pete a guy living in Japan who has been reading here a long time
pete_dushenski: ;;later tell mircea_popescu "can be ridden for a lot of mileage, and simlarly"
BingoBoingo: Only in East Saint, the body on the road being a carjacking ruse is more novel than there being a body on the road http://www.bnd.com/news/local/crime/article29695969.html
mircea_popescu: anyway! this is enouigh for me tonight gents. have a great one.
pete_dushenski: gernika: "no one NEEDS a ferrari anyways, they're just for showing off"
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" ?
pete_dushenski: 'understanding an eagle's viewpoint by living as a worm in dirt'
mircea_popescu: this is almost like trying to understand whether alf is a programmer by asking his girlfriend whether he likes the eggs runny.
mircea_popescu: wait a second. you're not seriously trying to understand "what executives do" by reading bloggers' commentary on tv shows ?!
pete_dushenski: gernika: i'll give it a peek here.
pete_dushenski: though they each earned a contravex article in their respective heydeys.
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.
mircea_popescu: what man buys a goat that is already milking a cow.
mircea_popescu: perfection in any field's still a perfection.
pete_dushenski: is gernika also a pro on twobitidiot and tim swanson ?

pete_dushenski: that's not even a joke.
assbot: No, you don’t understand elite discontent. | Contravex: A blog by Pete Dushenski ... ( http://bit.ly/1MJ66Pi )
mircea_popescu: in other news - ima point out to our esteemed us smoking colleagues that actual habanero montecristos are about a dime a dozen here.
asciilifeform: those don't have to be hired by a boss, all they gotta do is not scare folks away and sharpen
asciilifeform: was even turned away at a bicycle repair pit
asciilifeform: 'You're gonna be a giant mess
asciilifeform: perhaps instead of waiting for this finding, mircea_popescu ought to have paid a nickel to an interchangeable chunk of protoplasm from 'fiverr' or 'etsy' to discover it.
mircea_popescu: in the case of avicenna it's not that bad, and a ton has been done to try and figure out his context.
mircea_popescu: it's also a dumb system, for the record. tho perhaps less dumb and certainly dumb for different reasons.
mircea_popescu: nah. if "blue blood" i nthe sense of, willing to put up a fucking banner.
asciilifeform: or why the food-lever-operator chimp gets a slightly weaker beating as his 'salary'
asciilifeform: and 'his own team has to be fought for 10k' is for the same fundamental reason that a programmer who saves a $maxint reactor gets a $smallint bonus for his trouble
asciilifeform: usg 'drop ten million rocket to nail a camel' is generous !
mircea_popescu: sorta like the situation of a spy, really - the enemy is willing to spend millions to nail him, whereas his own team has to be fought for a 10k allocation sort of deal.
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...
assbot: Logged on 03-08-2015 19:39:51; kakobrekla: fluffypony mp is a safe bet
asciilifeform: or possibly a few folks actually knew 'just enough to be dangerous'
asciilifeform: because we haven't a chronoscope? possibly.
mircea_popescu: obama has a reputation for bringing nobel peace, and paracelsus had a reputation for curing spiritual warts.
mircea_popescu: and yes, sure there were folks who made a reputation. then as now.
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
asciilifeform: ow live frogs whole, fresh out of the swamp, for her own perverse enjoyment of seeing the young sluts suffer. Hey, it cured Sue's pregnancy, it did! What spontaneous abortion, what coincidence, are you from like the future ?' << this is, as often is, not the complete story. there ~were~ folks who made a reputation for actually curing something
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: 'Meanwhile everyone else continues to practice medicine as best the means available allow also, but according to what the knowledge of the time allows. And everyone else is going to be the professionals in the field of medicine in Sicily cca 1200, whereas our teleported professional is just going to be a quaint curio, undistinguishable and undistinguished from the weird old lady making pretty young things swall
mircea_popescu: bar. pizzeria. thjeir mother on a stick.
mircea_popescu: romanian fucktarded kids did this to death. went to work abroad - sucked septuagenarian cock on cruise ships, manned boats off alaska, whatever, came back with a 20-50-70k and then... OPENED A RESTAURANT ☟︎
mircea_popescu: gernika is it a patently retarded idea to buy "restaurant". a restaurant is not a box of candies. if you haven't spent a decade working in one, you have no business OWNING one.
mircea_popescu: talk to a recent cs graduate.
mircea_popescu: also - programmer is not a craftsman. "programmer" is the boy equivalent of the "artsy" chick. one does stupid shit and "sells it" on etsy, the other does stupid shit and "sells it" on github
mircea_popescu: the only work they're capable of is reddit shitslinging, and there's a ton of dudes doin that cheaper and better already. easily 100x what's needed anyway.
mircea_popescu: actually i would guess currently the earned income this way is about 12-15kish a year.
mircea_popescu: talk to someone who's ever done any time. there's a ton of mexicans doing time in us prisons to make money for their family bacvk home.
mircea_popescu: incidentally, it's quite obvious that the b-a conversations consist of both spoken and silent dialogue ☟︎
mircea_popescu: shit i stepped away for a second and i got way behind
asciilifeform: 'All this was in part spawned by a long going if little voiced thread in #b-a on the topic of "how can PGP folk be this fucking retarded. Sort-of like the colonial European's expectation that someone firing a weapon necessarily speaks French, or Spanish, or English, or some sort of civilised language also. Because otherwise... where did they get the human weapon! Goblins don't craft weapons.' << YES!
decimation: asciilifeform: actually it's a good point (the u2) - you see the results with that f16 vs cessna crash
decimation: "Reuters reports that a controller would have entered the usual altitude for a U-2 plane – about 60,000 feet – forcing the system to consider all altitudes between ground level and infinity and generating a conflict which caused the system to begin cycling through restarts."
decimation: asciilifeform: lulz: http://www.airtrafficmanagement.net/2014/05/eram-crash-sparked-by-insufficient-ram/ "The computer system made by Lockheed Martin interpreted the flight as a more typical low altitude operation, and began processing it for a route below 10,000 feet. The extensive number of routings that would have been required to deconflict the aircraft with lower altitude flights used a large amount of available ...
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
asciilifeform: 'tandem' used to make a mini with triplexing
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!
decimation: and a working 'macivory' for 6800
decimation: yeah there's a smbx 3600 keyboard on ebay for 1800
asciilifeform: a few thou. sold
asciilifeform: helps to recall that neither was a 'mass' item in the modern sense
asciilifeform: even though they were much more compact than a 360
asciilifeform: (not that he needs'em for anything, but might not resist urge to discover if it was a true microscope in the sense of cracking a skull well)
asciilifeform: yes, mircea_popescu will probably say that a microscope that is not also a hammer is a worthless thing and ought never to have been considered a microscope
decimation: especially if he doesn't want to keep to a 'push shit out the door we'll fix it later' schedule
assbot: Wal-Mart has a lower acceptance rate than Harvard - The Washington Post ... ( http://bit.ly/1IIGfV0 )
decimation: http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonkblog/wp/2014/03/28/wal-mart-has-a-lower-acceptance-rate-than-harvard/ "Last year when Wal-Mart came to D.C. there were over 23,000 applications for 600 jobs. That's an acceptance rate of 2.6%, twice as selective as Harvard's and over five times as choosy as Cornell."
asciilifeform: meanwhile behind you is a queue of fifty actual cooks
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'
decimation: asciilifeform: since you already have a record of paying taxes you can't fake disability
decimation: didn't last psychiatrist have a post about what is needed to 'prove' you are 'poor'? like no job, ever?
assbot: Logged on 04-08-2015 02:05:21; mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=03-08-2015#1223264 << there is a thread in the logs consisting of me essentially saying that if you can't fake stupiud you're not smart.
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 ☝︎☟︎
asciilifeform: what's left, will buy him a house
asciilifeform: a minus sign.
asciilifeform: what he is actually going to buy, in likelihood, is a few years of nursing home.
asciilifeform: let's work a gedankenexperiment:
decimation: which means you need to have a house bought before 1980 and be older than 65
asciilifeform: yes, a handful of thugs end up with the lion's share
