that in mind, going forward maybe something needs
to be figured out with some redundancy for V's mirror.
mod6: at some point when
the bitcoin isp is up and going and
the foundation can afford it or
the resources donated, we'll make
the switch, happily.
assbot: Logged on 14-11-2015 18:04:39; mod6: shinohai: we recieved an email
that said if we do not reboot box in
the next 24 hours,
they will do it for us.
jurov: i already did for mpex proxies,
they resolved very erratically
mircea_popescu: (i confess i have been contemplating changing
to ip-based addresses instead of domains)
mircea_popescu would never use
this if it came
to not using dns altogether.
jurov: and first
thing
they wanted was photo of my cc
jurov: i don't pay
them bitcoins
mircea_popescu wonders idly how much of france's current problems actually have
to do with its ill inspired continuation of a once expedient, long pointless alliance with
the ustards, and how much has
to do with
the ill advised but
tribally motivated amnesty miterrand gave
to
the italian
terrorists back when italy decided it had enough of
that shit.

to risk
jurov: only
to school and back
jurov: btw, i was not normal boy. was never allowed out
to
the street, granny was
too afraid
trinque: I was born here and I still live as
though in enemy
territory
jurov: (but
that's p3d3rastyyyyy!!!)
jurov: i don't get it. you could
then get nice money fixing vhs recorders and smuggling diskettes and whatever
mircea_popescu: jurov
think in soviet yugo
terms, which is exactly what
the us is :
mircea_popescu: i should prolly publish
those emails sometimes, it was a fucking riot.
jurov: how comes
then your phone keeps ringing off
the hook?
mircea_popescu: it's
that 100%
thereof having
the quals for barrista and
trying
to wing it./
mircea_popescu: i
took ad in obscure local paper, requiring complex engineering quals,
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
this i saw in romania. was required by law
to advertise job
to create eu residency permit for slavegirl.
mircea_popescu: in
the following sense : printing money renders sense arbitrary, and if sense is arbitrary
then specialists become just another kind of voodoo practitioners. nobody cancelled
the "if you're gonmna hire a voodoo priest, hire
the cheapest" rule, and so here we are.
mircea_popescu: jurov no,
the gist of his argument is
that skill/competence are meaningless close enough
to
the money printer.
assbot: Logged on 14-11-2015 19:57:08; asciilifeform: gives
the fr folks a run for
their money
jurov: you say all usian corps are so rigid so as not
to recognize clueful people at all?
mircea_popescu: he fucking has me
there, i never worked, nor ever hired in
the us.
jurov: how would positioning oneself as "the wizard" not pay
the bills?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform dude, he was born into some random company he started working for
this decade. wouldja get off ?
jurov: i was "already"
there as sysadmin, so what?
assbot: Logged on 14-11-2015 18:04:39; mod6: shinohai: we recieved an email
that said if we do not reboot box in
the next 24 hours,
they will do it for us.
jurov: not
that hard. and i have social skills of practically deaf hermit
jurov: i
then squeezed $$$ out of
them
jurov: asciilifeform: i was not hired specifically
to do
that, but had
to. cuz i was
the only one who had a clue in whole fucking company
mircea_popescu: honestly i've rarely seen a 17yo male able
to find his way
to cunt if blindfolded in a roomfull of spread eagled whores, but
that's just my limited experience
talking, i'm sure.
jurov: btw, i have never seen 17yo able
to fix problem somewhere deep in html/js/css stack, or even being able
to do multicolumn design with misc resize contraints from first principles
☟︎ assbot: Logged on 14-11-2015 03:21:13; asciilifeform:
trinque: not so many folks outside of usg need reversing.
mircea_popescu: because otherwise
the
theory would have
to be "because russians, = shitheads" ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you sure
the "shithole"
theory is not WHAT
THEY WANT
TO BELIEVE
pete_dushenski: iranians have
too long a historical memory for white worship. still remember greek ass-kick.
pete_dushenski: have
to be pretty adaptable
to cut it in
tehran, i'd
think
mircea_popescu: i'd
take
the imams any day when it comes
to religious nuts.
mircea_popescu: obviously
there's religious nuts, but guess what, u of maryland has some derps "working on ethereum" right now.
mircea_popescu: there isn't a place on earth he'd be moving down
to, not really.
mircea_popescu: tehran has better internet
than wash dc. better food. better women.
assbot: Logged on 14-11-2015 03:10:49; asciilifeform: su had a ready warm place for all
the competent folks
to ~defect~ (DEFECT, not flee like rats and into pederasty, but fucking defect)
to
mircea_popescu: i mean... looky, my
time wasn't free when i was 15, either.
mircea_popescu: see, if i decide going back
to 11th grade, i wouldn't replace ONE 17yo
mircea_popescu: this notion of one
to one replacement as a necessity is a little bizarre,
to my ears. also
the notion
that a 17yo could interdict any field
to me is a little odd.
mircea_popescu: the objection here is
to what you say, not
to what you are.
assbot: Logged on 14-11-2015 17:29:23; BingoBoingo: Florida's quarterback
this year was suspended because he was doping with a research chemical being
tested for muscle wasting in cancer patients, aka
the idiot college way
mircea_popescu:

there is a very strict limit for
testing, specifically
that you can't
test without reagent, and
the reagent must react with something. ergo every single substance
tested requires some blood. you can't
take eight pints out of athletes, much less infinity pints, so you can't
test for infinity
things.

assbot: Logged on 14-11-2015 02:30:05; mircea_popescu: i
took over a whole fucking province with less
than 150 people./
pete_dushenski: and, like railcars, web
takes a lot of mudferbrains
to keep it going
pete_dushenski: you have
the
technical capability, if not
the mindset, patience, etc.
pete_dushenski: and what other options do
they have ? not like
they're actually
talented at programming and can pick and choose
they're work like you can
