mircea_popescu: asciilifeform even if it did,
the way in which it is ductaped
to
the whole shebang is more important in
the end.
mircea_popescu: if you want
to communicate securely, reg your key and pastebin encrypted stuff.
mircea_popescu: anyway. im
terrible idea for SECURE comms. because you leak
time if nothing else.
mod6: yeah, dont
they use
that stuff for leathal injections?
mircea_popescu: it's a wonder
they sell
that, btw, considering how easy it is
to kill someone with it.
mod6: shinohai, lobbes,
Thank you.
mircea_popescu: idealism is
the notion
that
there exist "kinds" outside of what experience unfolds.
a111: Logged on 2016-03-08 18:14 nubbins`: incidentally
this was
the idea from
the start
mircea_popescu: and, of course, nubbins /
the rest of
the "defenders of
the public interest" will now reach into
their deep pockets and make
that public interest whole, amirite ?
pete_dushenski: you've been reading
too many books again, haven't you.
mircea_popescu: i guess
this is one of
those
things people say with no expectation of ever being asked
to actually carry
through or something.
mircea_popescu: i
thought marketing is
the only
thing
that adds
to revenue, unlike everything else like say engineering etc,
that adds
to costs.
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: somehow marketing must've just added
to expenses!
CompanionCube is very sory for mod6's loss, but at least
their suffering is over.
mircea_popescu: well, i dunno, back in
the day people kept saying
things about marketing or whatever.
pete_dushenski: damn znort987...
there was no way he was going
to make his 86btc back at 1 or 2% margins was
there. roi approached infinity as bitbet lost broader republican usage and support. shame.
mircea_popescu: indolent has
the same root, "one who feels no pain", in
the sense of
the pain of being a worthless pos. like legendarily some species of africans, "not worth
the whipping".
mircea_popescu: for
the curious : condolences comes from latin, con -
together, dolent, pain.
Framedragger: mod6: so sorry
to hear
that, man, my condolences.
ben_vulpes: in other constantly increasing costs of cross-referencing all of
the inanity all of
the
time, "'ai' picks up biases from
texts on which it's
trained"
mircea_popescu: in btc only
to immediately
turn around and put
that behind
the usg idiocy du jour.)
mircea_popescu: (no, by no means
the first case of "let's
take republic wealth and "sell"/give it
to usg". our short but rich history is littered with
that sort of dorkitude, from
http://btcbase.org/log-search?q=from%3Abugpowder to name your poison, which is how "taking investors" ie, allowing outsiders into
the wealth even got such a bad name in
the first place.
the last fucking
thing i want is MORE mentally stunted midgits making a profit
a111: Logged on 2016-03-13 21:02 ben_vulpes: "I will simply consider
the matter moot." << and keep bettor funds if no receiver steps forward?
mircea_popescu: some dude asking me on
trilema. da fuck can i
tell him.
a111: 2016-10-22 <znort987> A fresh set of opinions on
the
topic would be welcome
mod6: aha, good
to know.
thx :]
mod6: I'll write up something and put up
the pics somewhere. making
thumbnails is a pain in
the ass... but will do it anyway.
mod6: asciilifeform: I
took bunch of pics while doing
the basic
tests of
the FG.
mod6: I'm up
to 361k+ and onto blk0019
mod6: She went downhill pretty fast over
the last 12 weeks, but her suffering is over.
mod6: fwiw, I hope
that wasn't a sort of spam for
the deedbot.
mircea_popescu recalls
the
time su made "bigger"
to hide "shittier" behind it.
mircea_popescu: reason us-made balances are larger being
that...
they're crappier, helps mask it.
mircea_popescu: looks like
the chinese are returning
the opium war favours. "here, measure your crack!"
mircea_popescu: ve
the suicidal reaction
to "try and help it", ruining carts and setting
the world on fire in
the process.
mircea_popescu: anyway, on meditation
there's substance
to Framedragger 's protest,
though perhaps not
the sort he'd like.
the impulse
to "generosity", ie unqualified giving is how people end up in
trouble / how
the whole mess was engineered in
the first place. when you've
two oxen yoked
to
the same cart and one's smaller, sickly and can't pull, some people will naturally have
the correct reaction
to whip it
to death. others will naturaly ha
mircea_popescu: (the link is particularly funny for
the amounts. when it comes
to
turkey dollars, usg is really poor. 40k here, 10k
there, 5k overages accounted for --- a far cry from
the "we lost one
trillion dollars in 100 bills
that never existed" dept of war fare.)
a111: Logged on 2017-03-29 17:50 mircea_popescu: not for a fucking second. he is enabling
the misbehaviour of 30yo children. i gotta do more work bitchlapping
these idiot cunts into
the ground because he buys
them food and doesn't makle
them pay for
the shiot
they break.

taken on a recent high school grad (friend’s son) as an intern in my web development business. He was an above-average student in a Harvard University intro CS class and also completed AP Computer Science in high school plus an additional programming class. His current productivity is about 1/100th of a $25/hour Ukrainian or Filipino contract programmer so any wage+benefit package above
mod6: anyway, am now collecting
the fg.bin upto 1Gb.
mod6: i may give some other boxen a
try here at some point
too. got a handfull of gentoo boxes, freebsd, openbsd, etc.
mod6: was
the first box i
tried.
mod6: i don't have
that notion. just saying,
that
this one didn't abide.
mod6: the profile i had on
that gentoo machine was 'default/linux/amd64/13.0/nomultilib' and i
think it was just an uber basic kernel
