mircea_popescu: somehow a bunch of [mostly white] kids bought into
this
theory
that "intelligence" as
they define it is worth
two shits.
ascii_field: jurov: i vaguely recall
there were
talks of you folks renting a box somewhere
jurov: i'm curious how will
thebitcoinfoundation fare up. so far looks like it will never ever spend anything :D
mircea_popescu: <ascii_field> all i can see is de raadt's 'almost about
to work as cashier'
thing << and having EARNED it,
too.,
mircea_popescu: <ascii_field> and was mircea_popescu's however-many btc for openbsd sent
to
the phoundation, or
to de raadt ? <<
to whoever
they wanted. what do i care.
ascii_field: trinque: in no sense special, it is illustrative of a particular
thing imho
BingoBoingo supposes Deraadt could
turn residence into "conference venue" host open ended hackathon, but
then
the charityrastas would be like "imprudent
BingoBoingo: Microsoft will donate all
the money in
the world
to OpenBSD so long as no penny goes
to keep Deraadt alive
BingoBoingo: plowing flied, "donors have come
to expect"
ascii_field: supposing he's
telling
the
truth,
this answers my question.
BingoBoingo: <ascii_field> all i can see is de raadt's 'almost about
to work as cashier'
thing << YEs
BingoBoingo: Basically
the hotels make rent and food from Foundation
ascii_field: all i can see is de raadt's 'almost about
to work as cashier'
thing
BingoBoingo: My impression is
that Foundation pays pretty much anything
that can be billed like power, conference hotels, conference food
though it pointedly does not offer anyone $x as compensation in
the name of not starving.
ascii_field: or,
to put
the question differently, what do all
the non-de-raadt folks whose rent and food ARE paid for by
the donations, do for
the project ?
pete_dushenski: "Yes, 20BTC would definately have you listed as a significant foundation contributor on our contributions page, assuming you wanted
to be listed
there."
BingoBoingo: Foundation
that pays for hackathons and such. Developer rent and food, no.
BingoBoingo: <ascii_field>
that has nothing
to do with
the author? << Yes
ascii_field: and was mircea_popescu's however-many btc for openbsd sent
to
the phoundation, or
to de raadt ?
ascii_field: i'm a bit confused.... where did
the $0.5M donated by microshit go ?
jurov: ;;later
tell pete_dushenski is
that ...err.. something visible in
the
third pic?
mircea_popescu enjoys a good riddle, especially when he's on
the right end of it.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu:
though my brother laughed when i described it, but would not say moar
assbot: Logged on 01-12-2015 20:26:34; ascii_field: BingoBoingo, mircea_popescu, et al : does anyone else find
that krebsonsecurity refuses
to load from archive.is ?
ascii_field will admit
that he
thinks about it with some regularity, but will not claim
to have a correct solution
jurov: if you would at least review
the list
ascii_field: ^ does
this actually display on anybody's
terminal ?
mircea_popescu: stick
to explaining
the absence of "real" enemies of usg as well as
the absence of non-white swans.
ascii_field: what is
this aristotelian claptrap. i can readily describe
the exact cause of, say, absence of icicle on
the surface of
the sun.
ascii_field: aha because nobody, sane or otherwise, wants
to pay
the $1m/each.
mircea_popescu: it has
this in common with all
the OTHER
things
thart were never made.
ascii_field: but of
the muppets' collective ability
to destroy entire fields by skewing incentives
mircea_popescu: they aren't harmless
to you because you're addicted
to your dental.
ascii_field: as described in mircea_popescu's 'problem of
too much money' mega-article
mircea_popescu: who're
they gonna want
to
tell all about it ? me or president bahamas ?
ascii_field would much like
to live on
the planet where
they can be safely ignored. yes, i hear it's a nice place, good climate, hot chixx
mircea_popescu: o yeah ?
tell your mother being ugly is no excuse
to fuck drunks.
mircea_popescu: all
they'll do about it is whine. "oh
this projector is not user friendly"
mircea_popescu: it's
that
the whole fucking shebang of idiots can be safely ignored.
mircea_popescu: looky : it's not JUST
that i can't give less of a shit what
the wash-popo writes
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: i'm pretty sure
they ~knew~ of it.
the ignorance was ~studied indifference~
mircea_popescu: and
the few and far between people who can actually do
things are NOT going
to want
to be with us ? but prefer
to serve
the fuctard empire ?
mircea_popescu: fucktards can';t even be arsed
to KNOW phuctor exists ?
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: edison's heirs do not control film industry
today
ascii_field: american cpu is just as happy
to be reverse-engineered by a ru schmuck as it is
to calculate payroll for chrysler
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla anyway, redirects re-added. i wouldn't reallty expect
them
to work, seeing how namecheap, but anyway. im not renewing .bz or .ws because
the new registrar doesn't carry
them
ascii_field: sorta a rehash of
the 'intellectual property' wank. inanimate objects, once you're done making
them, don't have a 'will'
to propagate your intent, whatever it was, when you made
them
ascii_field: eventually
the scum do what it
takes
to be rid of you and
take your $tech by force
assbot: Logged on 01-12-2015 21:43:17; mircea_popescu:
they can't have it for any price
assbot: Logged on 01-12-2015 21:38:21; mircea_popescu:
the chinese ain't selling jack.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field nah.
the only one
that won actually had shares (asicminer).
the rest all flopped. especially
the scumbags.
ascii_field: but i could be mistaken, wasn't fully awake for
this mess
ascii_field: iirc
the miner asic projects
that did straight-and-honest shares - flopped;
the scumbags who
took preorders and mined with
the machines for months, years - won.
assbot: Logged on 01-12-2015 19:48:16; kakobrekla: if its not coming back in a reasonable
time i will change it. perhaps mp will clear
this up.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu:
this is a logical picture, but how does vendor amortize
the cost of producing
the magic ?
mircea_popescu: and if you don't have
them you're not a person and your death won't be prosecutable. and
that's
that.
mircea_popescu: they sell
the store
to
TMSR Supermarkets. at a discount.
ascii_field: presently i'm not convinced
that any computer uses really... wants
to live, all
that much. wake me up when uranium centrifuge no longer runs winblowz, i might reconsider
this
theory
mircea_popescu: advertisement : are you
tired of wasting your
time in queues at Shitty Supermarkets ? So move on
to
TMSR Supermarkets -
their computer systems don't die every other hour for half an hour.
ascii_field: --'hi, i'm selling computer
that works.' --'does it run msoffice?' --'...' --[click]
mircea_popescu: you don't sell. you cut a deal with ONE competitor in a field, and
that's
that.
the rest all die because
they can't deploy computers
that work.
mircea_popescu: why
the fuck would you sell access ? who are
these schmucks
that
they may buy ?
assbot: Logged on 01-12-2015 19:11:26; phf: re "sell services give away code", clozure associates (ccl people) recently laid off a bunch of
their devs. including such heavyweights as rme and gbyers. presumably because like ascii said, nobody's buying
ascii_field: worse, iirc he permitted some monkey
to shit in it in his place
ben_vulpes: dude wwwdev is a fraction of
the
throughput
assbot: Logged on 01-12-2015 19:00:24; ascii_field: perhaps mircea_popescu oughta ask ben_vulpes
to offer de raadt some wwwdev wurk.
mircea_popescu: i went for a checkup and never wanted
to fucking leave cca 2013
