mircea_popescu: consider how fiercely loyal alf is to that dumbass outfit, nfw or w/e it's called. it's over something like this.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes, well, depends what they want. but basically.
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-05-17#1815045 << the make food area incidentally is easy to misjudge. it'll make a world of difference, both in qol and what that qol costs, once you get a proper kitchen going. ideally with womanly help as i dunno you're that competent. have bread going every other day, have a pot of soup always, the good old strictures of european ie civilised life.
☝︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: i can see the point, too, "i am so many years old and not getting younger ; if i sit and twiddle my thumbs in this jungle rather than some other jungle it'd better not be just so i end up 40 something and asked "Кто..." and not have an answer"
mircea_popescu: i know a bunch of people tried this, some of which managed to bootstrap themselves into middle class existences (from humble orc nobodyhood) ; but plenty failing miserably.
mircea_popescu: sorta premium-shared, catering to what most "non-technical" people actually want from a website.
mircea_popescu: their only relation to their shared server is a box where they explain to you what they want done.
mircea_popescu: ie, you can have the sale-on-ocmission thing mechanized to some degree.
mircea_popescu: well since you're building lists : there's a thing the heeathens have, which intermediates action sales. "clickbank" or somesuch.
mircea_popescu: making it obvious that owning the box is neither glorious nor productive may be sufficient deterrent. who even knows.
mircea_popescu: these are not fixable in software anymore than a dirty couch can be cleanned by photographic it with the right angle lens.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes, the machine itself, hardware-wise, is incapable of multiuser. it leaks its memory via cache timings on 3 or 4 different layers ; it lacks its state via nic delays, it leaks like a sieve.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: anyway, i'm not insisting or even proposing this insanity be continued. i am merely stating the world.
mircea_popescu: anyway, it's not completely broken. it'\s completely breakable, which is a different thing.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes, simplest solution is, periodic backups and not giving a shit. if it craps out reinstall.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes, what, they told you twas gonna be easy ? come up with something!!11
mircea_popescu: you still get to time the machine ; and whosoever times the machine owns the machine.
mircea_popescu: (which, incidentallty, ~still~ doesn't work ; but doesn't work ellaborately and expensively)
mircea_popescu: management is playing with people's lives, one's well advised to be considerate.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes, let me put it even sharper : you have a man who conquered a drinking habit in a position which regularily drives men to drink ; and he's complained about not having sane AA there what, twice ?
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes, understand that merely clear signs that management is aware of problems and working on them, and open communications are a larger morale boost than pretty much anything else. it's how folk manage to man pill boxes, which suck for any other criteria.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes, why do you have an idle resource on the ground ? this is what management is, yes ? keeping the mills fed ?
mircea_popescu: so we could say part of your problem here is idleness.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo, for my entirely idle curiosity, what sort of time occupancy have you seen in the past month ? 12.5% ie hour/day ? more ? less ?
mircea_popescu: seemed to me the way ben_vulpes was going was towards a yes/no type response. aanyways.
mircea_popescu: saying "well, there's objective costs to $X, be it installing a rack or being in uy, these have to be paid" is one thing ; but seems you're discussing another thing, and how can you, i, ben_vulpes , anyone else transform "future" into "btc value" ?
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo, obviously people working at something should pick the rewards of their work. what i don't get is why are you formulating this split in absolute rather than relative terms ?
mircea_popescu: is there some way to slice the wipe leg off the assemblage
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, there's some argument (cheapness) for including one single antifuse rather than making the whole thing out of them.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo, why do you suspect pizarro can pay something like that ?
mircea_popescu: you will sooner or later run into issues you need actual professional help with. just like the cold.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo, this is very common. but now your spanish is better.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, because nobody ever told them they better be useful. so they're "nice" or w/e.
mircea_popescu: the search for actually useful local accts specialists as fruitless as search for w/e, electronic parts supplioers ?\
mircea_popescu: hanbot, in other nominalist lulz, there existed in antiquity a she by the name "hind bint". find thee what she occupied herself with :D
mircea_popescu: colonialism is bad mkay and jewing got the jews burneds so let's never ever fucking do anything ever again.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform because "white man" aka esltard won't learn fucking languages, or leave "the country" ie zone. and when he does, he takes care to first arm self with such impenetrable armor of shit-for-brains as to practically make no possible difference to anyone.
mircea_popescu: this is a common item by any definition, in the sense of "consumable".
mircea_popescu: the failure of the us means you can get mechanical but not electronical parts is all.
mircea_popescu: the byproducs of industry are always available -- but only to people in the town where industry is.
mircea_popescu: didn't you end up with all sorts of industrial gear, on the cheap ? and what did you say about it, "not in jungle", yes ?
mircea_popescu: but you know someone somewhere did so buy, and either sold or otherwise lost chunks.
mircea_popescu: kinda why we need someone in china, to dissolve exactly this sort of "only seems to be offered in china and in container-sized min order" situation ; which arises for very good reasons to do with industrialization, and is eminently solvable -- but not by the red skins, nor from inside the reservation.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, isn't this what goes into eg digicams ?
mircea_popescu: if there can even be such a thing as a goal of human existence, "do not have the problems of the stupid" is a prime candidate.
mircea_popescu: these are eminently the sorts of problems of the stupid, whereby those who come after can't fucking discern what the everloving fuck were you thinking. however the empire managed to wedge them into stupid, through creating a hallucinatory "need for secrecy" or through "women get to choose, and you'll produce choices for them free of charge" or whatever nonsense -- the fact remains, here i sit, and they could've been the hitti
mircea_popescu: from out in the darkness, because the "very intelligent" people invovled weren't, apparently, intelligent enough to help me with this problem.
mircea_popescu: wasn't specifically saying birth or death, merely trying to examine the mechanism.
mircea_popescu: this is then summarized as "asciilifeform iirc rms really hated noftsker, for some reason", and always in that same format, too, "for some reason". the reason, above : x said something y took somewhere.
mircea_popescu: ~. much easier to produce mistrust than trust in the process of organizing work with computers.
mircea_popescu: i suspect, further, that this is traditionally, and nearly universally, the failure mode in "tech" ie computer fabrication and utilization (and thereby may be a major item in say
http://trilema.com/2018/the-symbolics-discussion/ ) : the production of ideal objects involved is so complex, management ends up in info overload and the technologists involved end up misinterpreting the barf as meaningful ~within their visible edges
mircea_popescu: the question of "whether stupidity is a conspiracy" remains, of course, open.
mircea_popescu: if they're not out there advertising it as a srsly, it's utterly not worth our/anyone's time to consider whatever data they have.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, it was never significant ; ten k or so lusers, and generally of the "adlai and friends" ilk.
mircea_popescu: there's the equivalent of ferments, pushing chemistry "against" thermodynamics, ie, niggers pushing suckers against their own interest.
mircea_popescu: HOW else " the reason food went extinct -- too lazy, and "better, moar technological" alternatives." / "why's marriage gone extinct ? not like the present day idiocy makes anyone happy. " etc.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, why else all the pretense, you know. bitpay exists to "please stop using bitcoin", keybase exists to "please stop using rsa", the WHOLE point of the usg ersatzen is exactly this, to get the sort of retard who can't tell the difference between item and usg.fake to stop using item.
