mircea_popescu: An Argentinian technician hired for the Top Gear shoot is said to have been injured after
a stone thrown by one of the demonstrators hit him in the face.
pete_dushenski: "The necklace on my profile pic is not
a dog collar, silly!!!" she said. "This is actually
a beautiful necklace bought at Lane Crawford (yes - funded by all you HK taxpayers!! So are all my beautiful shoes and dresses and clutches!! Thank you so much!!!!)".
pete_dushenski: "The furore comes just days after Top Gear producers apologised for
a "light-hearted" joke by Clarkson during filming in Myanmar and Thailand, in which he referred to
a "slope" on
a bridge as an Asian man crossed
a makeshift structure built by the presenters."
mthreat: "He added that the numbers 646 on James May's Lotus could be taken as
a reference to the 649 Argentinian casualties."
pete_dushenski: on bbc.
a journalist with
a sense of humour who also knows how to work
a camera
pete_dushenski: had
a license plate on his car that read "H982 FLK" or some such.

a gribble: Error: "getrust" is not
a valid command.
thickasthieves: like not
a rabbi, but some other word that meant something
pete_dushenski: which, if taken as
a recognition of my numeracy rather than my grandparents' ibm tats, is fairly complimentary
pete_dushenski: lol o ryan, asking me: "aside from trolling and
a sometimes entertaining blog what value do you add to #bitcoin? (Serious question.)"
thestringpuller: is there
a way to be community minded without being
a socialist?
pete_dushenski: he was "cto" at blockchain for
a bit. then went on
a radio silence week-long vacation while they got megahaxxored.
thestringpuller: but he has
a lot of publicity? why? is he getting paid? is he making money from this publicity?
pete_dushenski: thestringpuller: the fucktard isn't
a thing. that's why he's on seamonster's show
pete_dushenski: "US Unemployment rate falls to 5.9% as labor force participation drops to 62.7%,
a new 36 year low. Record 92.6 million no longer in labor force"
ben_vulpes: man my conference tickets are looking really cheap all of
a sudden
bounce: ran into
a slightly larger quote somewhere; haven't read more than that
bounce: ``Few people of attainments take easily to
a plan of self-improvement. Some discover very early their perfection cannot endure the insult. Others find their intellectual pleasure lies in the theory, not the practice. Only
a few stubborn ones will blunder on, painfully, out of the luxuriant world of their pretensions into the desert of mortification and reward.'' -- Voss, Patrick White
RagnarDanneskjol: and btw - I found Azelphur in 2012 before I'd ever heard of mpex / b-
a. and do consider him
a prize catch
assbot: Logged on 05-07-2014 12:39:02; ninjashogun: The second is
a services / consulting company in the field of jobs. cf. hired.com
ben_vulpes: must be why you want
a fancy database of resumes and positions
RagnarDanneskjol: some of the jobs I place only have
a few dozen qualified ppl on the planet - they take months to locate
RagnarDanneskjol: how does
a manager locate talent? i still don't understand. it is
a full-time job sourcing for any given position.. doing
a thourough targeted search. unless the job reqs are fairly loose.
ben_vulpes: tis
a part of the job, identifying and bringing on collaborators.
RagnarDanneskjol: so hiring managers put in
a bunch of extra overtime to do recruitment
ben_vulpes: we identify target hires as
a group and then fucking hire them.
bounce refers to the google study on
a related subject
RagnarDanneskjol: again - that is
a staffing agency - different and I agree they are wasteful
bounce: IMO that's
a worse policy, since it muddles the input needlessly
ben_vulpes: <RagnarDanneskjol> every company over 20 people has
a staff recruiter who manages the interview/negotiation process << false.
RagnarDanneskjol: every company over 20 people has
a staff recruiter who manages the interview/negotiation process
ben_vulpes: if you're growing
a dev team and your devs aren't actively bringing in their friends, you're doing it entirely incorrectly.
RagnarDanneskjol: I think you misunderstand what
a recruiter is (common misconception)
ben_vulpes: the notion that
a person must go through
a recruiter to get
a job is utter nonsense.
RagnarDanneskjol: ok. this is like having
a bad experience with
a front desk secretary and holding it against every secretary you ever encounter. Recruiters are just doing the work of sorting and moving candidates through the interview process. How else would you ever get another job? at some point everyone has to deal with
a recruiter (or whoever acts as company recruiter/hr generalist) -otherwise st
ben_vulpes: RagnarDanneskjol: many devs respond to
a few here and there, but the random sample is typically not enough cash, bizarre stacks, crazy mgmt or {google,yahoo,ms} again instead of anything interesting.
a few interactions like this and the dev is poisoned against recruiters forever.
RagnarDanneskjol: guess I wasn't really looking for
a useful answer. just being provocative I suppose
bounce: not the smartest way to get
a useful answer
punkman: "About me: I'm
a software developer with 10 years of experience in web. Take
a look at my resume" <- and he means 10 years of experience with HTML/CSS, 6 years of ruby
BingoBoingo: Illinois probably wins it, but I don't think decmal odds of 3.9 for Purdue are
a bad value if you want
a longshot.
BingoBoingo: RagnarDanneskjol: I'm going to have to give games
a thought when I wake up. As much as Purdue sucks though... Illinois just might suck even more.
BingoBoingo: Then there's the problem with it being miserable to watch
a winning game there
BingoBoingo: The Rams really want
a new stadium, but... hard to justify that when no one watches them.
BingoBoingo: RagnarDanneskjol: Both. The Runningbacks almost always find
a way around the line if they have any speed and in the backfield the people with speed to catch up to them lack the mass to take them down efficiently
BingoBoingo: This year as everything has been parlays not much success. Two weeks ago I had
a chance at least. Last week I made
a suicide slate and attached
a point about phantom mining hardware.
BingoBoingo: RagnarDanneskjol: Just going to be hard making picks since Mizzou has
a bye week.
mircea_popescu: well being
a (military) governor, sure. but generally the patricians held land in latium, then in italia, then in galia n, and then finally in spain, thracia, whatever.
decimation: sure, being governor over there was
a stepping stone to power at times
decimation: or
a 100 lb girl with the right charms
decimation: there's no doubt that there's
a gap between 'strength on paper' and 'actual strength, if actually tested'
mircea_popescu: yeah, something like that. i think they mostly perceive it as
a combined fuckhole/shithole/eatery
decimation: I imagine that most countries perceive the us as
a 300 pound giant with the brains of
a 12 year old boy
mircea_popescu: it's like
a retard kid who gets told off by his imagined gf, goes away, turns around and starts over
mircea_popescu: if it makes you feel any better, the media does the same here. there were i dunno, like five murders in
a 20mn pop town.
mircea_popescu: well... there's
a lot of merit in that. how else could his alleged "political" oppinions be explained.
decimation: heh when
a libtard kills someone it's just because he's crazy, not for any political reason
mircea_popescu: "Mayo noted that Frazier Glenn Miller, who was
a member of the Ku Klux Klan and other white supremacist groups, ran for the U.S. Senate in Missouri in 2010. He was charged this year in the shooting deaths of
a 14-year-old boy and his grandfather outside an Overland Park, Kan., Jewish community center."
mircea_popescu: and for that matter, people tend to flatter themselves with that word
a lot. an ability to hate is strictly realted to spending time in conditions not available to the average english speaking derp.
decimation: at any rate I'm sure that these hick canidates will be promoted so that their hatred can become
a shared experience for their political enemies
pete_dushenski_: mircea_popescu: and i also like that you linked "contravex" directly to the troll article rather than the homepage. i take that as
a seal o' approval :)
decimation: well, I guess I buy into the idea that
a nation and an genetic group are closely related
mircea_popescu: you could directly experiment with this idea. you could draw
a line in your room, and ban all crossings of that line. see if it does anything for any variable you wish to measure.
pete_dushenski_: in south america i've been to colombia and brazil. also visited most of central america, mexico, and
a solid chunk of the caribbean islands.
pete_dushenski_:
a ok. so we can add 2. japan, 3. china, 4. hk, 5. vietnam, 6. thailand, 7. s. korea :)
pete_dushenski_: and turkish toilets are still
a thing, last i checked... in tokyo.
