BingoBoingo:
<mircea_popescu> i don't think this segmentation carries any water. it's not "workingclass or officeclass". it's not country or pop or rap or anything else. it's born before 1990 or not.

mircea_popescu: "But the Bi-Mart Willamette Country Music Festival—or BMWCMF as it will be henceforth referred to—clearly does not care about positive PR. In that way, the BMWCMF is unlike any music festival I’ve ever been to. It also perfectly embodies Oregon as it exists outside of Portland: rural, rugged, and rude. Attempting to acquire a media pass feels more like haggling with a stranger on Craigslist."
<< jews' first little step
mircea_popescu: "Hey, I would have bought it HERE if it EXISTED, you know? It sucks to have to import cool stuff from half way around the world, yes, but how does it follow then that one also has to *pay locals* for their failing to have the cool stuff locally?"

<< A-HA! caught you elaineo !
mircea_popescu: "If pet food companies used the same business model as startups: Jim creates a dog food factory and gives away dog food for free. 450 million dogs line up for free dog food. Purina Dog Chow understands that non-paying dog food consumers are currency, and buys Jim’s factory for $42 per dog."
<< in other historical elaineo lulz.
☟︎☟︎ BingoBoingo:
<elaineo> "because you're capable of making silence, annulling the noise such that they can focus on the things that actually matter, to them."
<< This makes those iDiot slabs anti-Master!
mircea_popescu: "The most important tech skill, then, isn’t computers or engineering — It’s the art of getting paid to control vast amounts of money."
<< this then is rank nonsense on the level of "the best car is one with a really powerful engine". really, no steering needed ? brakes optional ? some people are good at finance, some people are horrible at it. yes, fixing your head so you don't suck at finance is absolute requirement fo
mircea_popescu: "If you’re a Venture Capitalist, the last thing you want is for your child to go into wage slavery."
<< more in the same vein. i do take the tack you recommend ("you have no choice in the matter ; the bullwhip is right over there if this doesn't translate otherwise") with my own slavegirls, in a limited sense, thereby forcing them to proficiency in ~certain aspects~ of software engineering. those aspects are exactly those a
mircea_popescu: "Nobody becomes a software engineer because they love writing code; they become a software engineer because it allows them to build out ideas."

mod6:
<+asciilifeform> the sane approach consists of isolating all of the unixoid crud in separate .ads/.adb , make it compact.
<< ah, this is even deeper than i have it for sure.
mod6:
<+asciilifeform> the cost is, then you gotta make'em behave adaistically
<< yeah, my approach now seems sane. might be a bit expensive tho. so, if there's a better way thats still 'sane', will try that and report back.
BingoBoingo:
<asciilifeform> the obvious parallel with kanzure and dna sequencers/synths
<< Except this was back when you had to be Google wife rich to open a DNA startup
BingoBoingo:
<mircea_popescu> a restatement of the old adage, "the problem with socialism is that idiots are always cocksure ; everyone else, full of doubts"
