mircea_popescu: ascii_field not these jobs. these jobs are about the narrative in the "worker's" head.
mircea_popescu: for the record, this seems to me disqualifyingly dumb.
mircea_popescu: "Heartbleed is a read buffer overflow. What that means is that an application is reading outside the boundaries of a buffer. For example, imagine an application has a space in memory that's 10 bytes long. If the software tries to read 20 bytes from that buffer, you have a read buffer overflow."
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.
mircea_popescu: (for a real world example, the derp with the btctc exchange is certainly a victim)
mircea_popescu: people coming out of any of them come out with the same sorts of "ideas"
mircea_popescu: the "spam farms" and the monkey-on-a-stick farms where microsoft code is actuallywritten, and this stuff... really, what's the difference ?
mircea_popescu: "Court records say the laughing men initially tried to use a broomstick for the deed, which was videotaped on a cell phone. But then one of them said, “I have something better” and retrieved a chorizo sausage from the station’s refrigerator, the records say."
mircea_popescu: the thing where you use scripts is bruteforce i guess. ripper-it
mircea_popescu: no, fuzzing is when you forego scripts and use humans.
mircea_popescu: but i say the pigs make ham. as that one butcher observed, "i only follow the lines already there"
☟︎ mircea_popescu: oh, then yes we were thinking of very different things.
mircea_popescu: you hire a huge team of those and cut the job up to them
mircea_popescu: how would 0day slave distinguish between what he's told he's doing (unit testing) and what he's actually doing ?
mircea_popescu: yeah but you need to know / learn a shitload more to do this than to wipe the table / put the pin in the hole.
mircea_popescu: eh, pick and place is like waitressing. so you missed a spot. big deal.
mircea_popescu: the argument i always hear is, "dudes have no focus and can't be trusted to pay the fuck attention"
mircea_popescu: these are the three female professions. the differences within them are minute.
mircea_popescu: but difference between spam farm and 0day farm, and "code farm" generally .. also nil.
mircea_popescu: yes. because this is for "girl think she's pretty" and those for "girl thinks she's smart".
mircea_popescu: at the level we're discussing here, there's really no difference between working as " gawker vp of pr" or working as "candi19874 on myfreewebcams". srsly.
mircea_popescu: every farm i ever saw was eastern european / azn women. like, 9:1 women or more.
mircea_popescu: the sortage is generally, "whether she thinks she's pretty", "whether she thinks she's smart"
mircea_popescu: one is working the pick-n-placers. the other's working the masturbatrons. the third's you know, "using her head", as in, this fuzzer, that fuzzer...
mircea_popescu: ascii_field there's exactly three things a woman can do with herself that doesn't work as the housemaid of a dude.
mircea_popescu: and i gotta keep two sets of womenz. what's your point.
mircea_popescu: <ascii_field> the loss in physical plant would be comparable to a world war << actually, not anymore. the us has already lost so much physical plant since the 50s it might have been through half a dozen world wars.
mircea_popescu: then the outline showed up. "the change will be introduced in phases. for the first five years, only trucks and vehicles over 5 tons will switch to driving on right"
☟︎ mircea_popescu: the police dept of bumfuck offered to write a plan and outline strategy and everything.
mircea_popescu: which reminds me of a joke : when they entered the eu, the romanians starting bidding on all sorts of contracts. like for instance, a 1947 british rfq to move the country to european style driving.
mircea_popescu: dude there was a light like that on the road out of timisoara, he was the lol of all time. we'd like visit to make fun.
mircea_popescu: so... now you have to have a pole every 10 meters, and can't even turn because LIGHT OMG
mircea_popescu: nevermind that the rapes that do happen happen in parking garages not lots.
mircea_popescu: they got it in their head that "parking lots are dangerous" because "women get raped" because hey, it's a literary conventions, and nobody can accuse us writers of not being lazy.
mircea_popescu: i'd run the lights if the lights ran on your liquefied babies.
mircea_popescu: there's somethin wrong with authority in the hands of the stupid,
mircea_popescu: you're thinking of govt as this fixed item. it is the least fixed item of all.
mircea_popescu: cheaper for miners to cut the head of the governments in question than to create alt-powergrid.
mircea_popescu: so the fact that giancarlo milanese can ask for a 380v line today and have it working in may whereas joe washington can't even get it... well...
mircea_popescu: because production in future is going to look more like your garage than ford factory.
mircea_popescu: think : in the coming economy, the ability to easily get good clean power in the 10 to 100kw range of european towns is going to weigh very heavily
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: o wow, fucking sprawl. you probably can't just get a huge 100kv - 2kv stepper and feed a whole neighbourhood, must have like 100kv - 12kv - 1,x kv multistep hu
mircea_popescu: yeah, because why make the 100kv transformers weigh 180 tons. make them 24 and then fuck up the entire power supply.
mircea_popescu: yeah well, probably because they're running on obsolete romanian transformers
