I'd live in a sufficiently large vehicle
pete_dushenski: though
i'll take a plane and high-end hotel room any day, and
i'll still come out ahead on costs compared to 'high-end rv'
☟︎ pete_dushenski: and hoses for cleaning off after,
i could sorta see it if you were into rv'ing
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: Maybe, but now
I'm just thinking of the pranks they enable
trinque: "
I'll leave this up to your discretion... if you ever put a tail on me again without telling me, you're gonna fine your tail floating in the river. Now you take that back to whoever needs to know it."
trinque:
I've met his dad several times, and he's the only politician
I've enjoyed speaking to
mircea_popescu: like "honey,
i noticed our credit cards aren't even maxed anymore.
i thought you promised to go shopping with the girls ? you know what... fuck this,
i want a divorce"
mircea_popescu:

trinque:

i can't think of anyone else selling desktop hardware for $10k
mats: (
i spent some time this month experimenting with afl -- good stuff)
mircea_popescu: hey,
i am not proposing every blind figurine carver can be a king.
ascii_field:
i can also tell that the work of mircea_popescu is not ever
i/o bound.
pete_dushenski: a family physician
i know also recommended looking at least 20 ft away from the screen every 20 mins to allow eyes to relax
ascii_field: '
i am a carpenter.' 'show me some wood.' - patient pulls out wad of own shit
mircea_popescu:
i suppose this may be the issue,
i classify culturally, ie, by the beast's mental excrement. ascii_field you prolly classify by some sort of "what the job is". as if jobs actually are about something.
ascii_field: jurov: spam farms is what mircea_popescu might have thought
i was speaking of
jurov: "
i was told in no uncertain terms that there were no females" was about which occupation then?
mircea_popescu: the thing where you use scripts is bruteforce
i guess. ripper-it
ascii_field: the folks
i was speaking of - determine whether said crash was exploitable
mircea_popescu: but
i say the pigs make ham. as that one butcher observed, "
i only follow the lines already there"
☟︎ ascii_field: mircea_popescu -might- be thinking of a different profession than
i was
ascii_field: virtually the whole motivation comes from 'what if -
i- catch the big one'
mircea_popescu: the argument
i always hear is, "dudes have no focus and can't be trusted to pay the fuck attention"
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: let's phrase it this way - my circle 3 degrees out includes perhaps a thousand such slaves, and
i was told in no uncertain terms that there were no females.
ascii_field:
i have yet to meet, or even hear of, any females in that business other than the two or three world-famous ones
mircea_popescu: every farm
i ever saw was eastern european / azn women. like, 9:1 women or more.
assbot: Logged on 07-04-2015 19:00:57; ascii_field: mats: ... similar gig as you,
i imagine: working for 'the man' in compartmentalized ops, churning out weaponized exploits and such. << believe or not,
i was never in this business. not even from ethical considerations, but starting with the fact that it is a -terrifyingly- dreary kind of work, carried out largely with brute force 'fuzzing' by gigantic stables of fungible slaves.
mircea_popescu: and
i gotta keep two sets of womenz. what's your point.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: ... and
i -still- have to keep two sets of drill bits
ascii_field: street lamps where
i live often suffer from a peculiar glitch where they switch -off- if someone walks near
mircea_popescu:
i'd run the lights if the lights ran on your liquefied babies.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: one thought that
i can't possibly be the first to think is that miners have a tremendous incentive to get off their government mains grids.
mircea_popescu: you know... the more
i think of this the more it appears a major strategic problem for the us. larger than fucking isis, larger than the chinese fmi, larger even than their inability to maintain railroad infrastructure.
mircea_popescu:
i saw ONE power outage in a year, which was most likely the building bus being old.
mircea_popescu: everybody warned me when
i came here, "o may gawd power outages".
i ended up overprovisioning power by such a wide berth it's ridiculous.
mircea_popescu: <ascii_field> ben_vulpes: not only do they happen where
i live, but with sufficient frequency that
i'm stuck using very elaborate power conditioning gear << you and fucking indians,
i swear.
mircea_popescu: but from what
i gather, it got the 6 pin cpu power in its 8 slot
ben_vulpes: what
I *really* want, though, is not even a desk but 2 six-axis arms that keep my keyboard and monitors in the appropriate ergonomic relationship.
ben_vulpes: there's a van with a setup akin to that first link in Snow Crash of which
i was always enamore.d
BingoBoingo: Consider 4 36"s
I say from my adequate to purposes 11.6" screen.
ben_vulpes: BingoBoingo: it's a bit more complex than that. fontsize is nearly irrelevant, as
i parse visually first by the structure of the code and then by wordshape. mispellings are rare, due to backround jobs that compile/evaluate text buffers on save and linters that have rules about symbol definition.
chetty: well as
I heard the power went out in 'useful' places, the white house,the state department ... :D
chetty:
I cant help but find it delicious it hits dc
ascii_field: mats: ... similar gig as you,

☟︎ ascii_field: at present time,
i have a massive double-converting ups
ascii_field: ben_vulpes: not only do they happen where
i live, but with sufficient frequency that
i'm stuck using very elaborate power conditioning gear
punkman: TNT was reasonably fast last time
I used them

i'm gifting a friggin bitcoin and whatever, the gods have spoken.
