pete_dushenski: they'd sooner break down in
tears and call for
their mommy/police
than dig ditch
mircea_popescu: seems
to me
they work at producing poorly strung
together sentences by
the boatload.
pete_dushenski: right, also not reddit, who couldn't be made
to work with a pitchfork poking
them in
the ass
mircea_popescu: well, lohn was for
the derpy chicks
that weren't willing
to be ACTUALLY working, also.
mircea_popescu: granted,
they obey stupid people saying stupid
things, but ...
pete_dushenski: except for
the 'obedient' element, which reddit utterly lacks
mircea_popescu: one more
tweak and you'd be ceo of your own company on reddit.
mircea_popescu: there's really no good way
to describe it outside of "here are stupid people in a historical valley". i it's a mix of factoring, leasing and outsourcing supply provisioning + financing in one package.
phf: gibson in his latest novel has something similar happen
to 3d printers, i.e. suburban shops
that get 3d printers on credit, manufacture replacement parts on demand from stl or verbal description
mircea_popescu: this is basically
the fundamental deal of "we have unskilled, obedient derps here and nothing else. what now ?"
kakobrekla: hm, 'lon' here means 'payment', old, obscure word not in use much in
that sense
mircea_popescu: ie, "Here is
this samovar, here are
the bundles, make me
the product"
mircea_popescu: anyway,
the gist of it is
that "manufacturer" gets
tooling on credit, materials sourced by and fixed sale contracts
to
the same party.
phf: is
that german word?
mircea_popescu: it's a delivery/production agreement in light industry, mostly
textiles
mircea_popescu: the
truth of
this point can be appreciated by
the incredible expansion of lohn in
the 90s in eeu.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: i suspect germany (all opf
the machines had
to be german!!1) made marginally more money selling
the gear
than
the women in question saved, had exports been allowed.
mircea_popescu: the practice however, was
that about one in
ten women were worth
the cutting cloth.
mircea_popescu: ex "mechanical engineer", reminds me a lot of
the rather famous zarone, g g dej's driver,
then minister.
phf: i
think in su
the purpose of sewing machine was
to pirate french pret-a-porter
that would not be otherwise accessible in stores. could buy sewing pattern magazines, i.e. Burda. aunt made some side money in
the 70s making garments "like
them french girls"
mircea_popescu: "oh , but india just happens
to have a culture
that promotes abject replication."
mircea_popescu: very different.
they were georgians not fucking eskimo.
mircea_popescu: it's not JUST bharara.
there's an entire generation of
this scum barnacling
the place.
mircea_popescu: obviously i have no relation
to either
the woman or her line of work, and she could just as well do it on her own, but i'm aspiring
to be as cool as Chowcoolie Whatsiname one day.
mircea_popescu: that should
the nobel committee decide
to give stoya
the peace prize i am prepared
to accept it on her behalf
danielpbarron: they should better
trade for shiny rock and eulorian coppers
assbot: Logged on 04-08-2015 14:33:45; asciilifeform: mircea_popescu brings up interesting point. entirely possible
that north kr will binge
to death on reddit, like
the red skinned man did on liquor, when
the
time comes
mircea_popescu: it is a craft
tho,
the expectation you spend
the 1500 dm and wife can now make clothes is out of place.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: in
this line,
there was a
time in central/eastern yurp when married woman HAD
to have sewing machine.
☟︎ phf: mircea_popescu:
the second. i
think you dump ingredients, bread comes out, but enough manual steps
that people still manage
to not use it. maybe cleaning is
the
time consuming part..
mircea_popescu: i suppose
the enduring popularity
these chunks of nonsense enjoyed should make no one surprised at
the 3d printer mania.
phf: danielpbarron: yeah, girl bakes bread in oven on
the regular, i just stick
to poor engineer's substitute for day
to day-- chapatis
mircea_popescu: or you mean
the actual "hey epson now makes bread" assembly line in your kitchen
thing
mircea_popescu: well you'd have
to be, it's
the main requisite for being a sourdough miner!
danielpbarron is pretty good at making bread
the old fashioned way
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron it's not even
that, it's more along
the lines of "social media derps don't matter", which irks
them.
phf: actually in u.s. breadmakers is one of
those appliances,
that people buy and
then never use. i know because every
time bread comes up in conversation, an owner will point out
that
they have one. somehow
they still buy cardboard bread at store, and only break out breadmaker on special occasions, if ever.
mircea_popescu: incidentally, is ripening gas still ethylene or did
they find some way
to use radiocesium or some shit for
the purpose ?
phf: tv diners, canned vegetables, bag of crisps, and when feeling fancy (or don't want
to deal with cooking for
the kids) it's
time for a mcdonalds
trip!
mircea_popescu: "what is
this ?" "vegetables and rice" "no it isn't. where you got
these ?" "oh,
they come in very convenient bags, frozen" "are you fucking crazy ?!"
☟︎ mircea_popescu: you name it. even
the fucking bananas have an actual flavour, as opposed
to
the styrofoam at walmart.
mircea_popescu: nothing in
the us produce section can compete with
the real
thing.
phf: because can't compete with
the real
thing
phf: i've learned recently
that one of
the larger usian pro-embargo lobbies are pistachio manufacturers
assbot: Logged on 14-11-2015 20:46:17; pete_dushenski: ;;later
tell danielpbarron mind dropping
https://twitter.com/sam_kriss a link
to
the latest contravex, seeing as how he quite so eloquently inspired
the
thing
mircea_popescu: so
then let it be, once it's used more we'll understand better what;s needed with it in practice.
mircea_popescu: i couldn't give less of a shit what
they do. if
tomorrow california falls in
the ocean i won't notice, nor care.
mircea_popescu: stop
trying
to import usg into bitcoin
through
the negative.
mircea_popescu: patches reference antecedents.
there is no notion of
time.
mircea_popescu: is
this a recurring
topic
that never gets proper reference
to past discussion ?
mod6: anyway, i
think
the real
thing I was getting at
there as sort of an alternative host incase of necessary reboot or maint
to
the other host.
mod6: time doesn't matter, its
the precedence. right?
