gabrielradio: but in
the case of
the poem,
time isn't
the issue, and if he deems it unfit for
translation in his own hand, i doubt it would make sense for me
to
try &
translate it
gabrielradio: not sure about
the poem
tho.
the way i saw
this whole
translation
thing was
that mircea_popescu wanted
the ro articles
translated because he didn't want
to spend
the
time
to do it himself, so
that's where i would come in
ben_vulpes: anyone
tracking
the safe harbor shitshow?
ascii_field: gabrielradio, mircea_popescu: lulzy piece. ought
to be accompanied with a drawing of 'man of
the future' - a
two-metre cock with small legs (like caterpillar's)
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: if i could find
the comment, i'd have found

pete_dushenski: aps in lawyers’ earnings and subsequent promotion. Whereas individual and firm characteristics explain up
to 50 percent of
the earnings gap,
the inclusion of performance measures explains a substantial share of
the remainder. Performance measures also explain a sizeable share of
the gender gap in promotion."
pete_dushenski: "Male lawyers bill
ten percent more hours and bring in more
than
twice
the new client revenue
than do female lawyers. We demonstrate
that
the differential impact across genders in
the presence of young children and differences in aspirations
to become a law firm partner account for a large share of
the difference in performance. We also show
that accounting for performance has important consequences for gender g
pete_dushenski: and speaking of jlaw and
the gender pay gap, i'll leave you with a research abstract
pete_dushenski: you'd
think a comment about dick pills would've ended up in
the 'how
to suck a cock' but nope, ended up in 'jennifer lawrence needs
to grow up' piece :)
shinohai: Just hadn't read
that article yet.
shinohai: I usually read footnotes,
there are always good
tidbits
there and on
trilema.
pete_dushenski: i'm always amazed how many people don't even read
them
shinohai: lol pete_dushenski I had no idea contravex had opined on
that xD
pete_dushenski: ascii_field:
that first figure was only consumer debt, didn't include student loans
pete_dushenski: "BMO’s annual debt report pegged average household debt in
the province at $124,838 in 2014 (compared
to a Canadian average of $76,140.) Among Albertans, half held credit card debt, 53 per cent had mortgages, and 17 per cent held student loans."
pete_dushenski: sorry, i exajamarated : "average Albertan owes $24,271 not including
their mortgage."

the industry.” It’s inside of you. | Contravex: A blog by Pete Dushenski ... (

ascii_field: pete_dushenski: lulzy, i get

pete_dushenski: "Mileage cards
tended
to be marketed at college graduates, while cards with
teaser APR rates were sent
to
the less educated. Cash-back and point-reward cards were offered equally
to people at every education level."
shinohai: Thanx kakobrekla, probably not worth
the
time since he still hasn't named a price
that he will pay for
testing.
mircea_popescu: i usually include lengthier phrases specifically
to ease searching
mircea_popescu: dja happen
to have a link
to my comment here about
that article ben_vulpes ?
mircea_popescu: i recall it. should be an article from mid
to late 2008
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: not
that
the guy lies, but
that
the guy exists because
the system needs a guy like
that
to exist.
jurov: and
the box is bought extra?
jurov: do i understand right,
the bisp box is 1btc/mo?

shinohai: No worries, I'm kinda behind
tbh
mod6: thanks
too btw! it needs some exercise.
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: d'you recall which piece of ballas' had
the line about
the "if it weren't
this highly credentialed person, it'd be someone indistinguishable from him"?
shinohai: If you have free
time later, want
to get with ya on v
mircea_popescu: the
thing being... if it's any good it won't be going anywhere, and if it goes away just means you saved a penny.
diametric: okay. i'll give
this some
thought.
the colo offering is
tempting.
diametric: is
the previous managed provider being phased out in favor of colo?
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes prolly best wait a bit for
that, as bitcoin isp mainstreamizes will be easier.
mod6: better not for
the
time being.
ascii_field: funnily enough
this is about what colo costs in gringolandia
mod6: ben_vulpes: should we get one for
the foundation?
mircea_popescu: incidentally, if anyone else was wanting
these... now when i have
the pen in hand, i can write five like i write one, so speak up.
ascii_field: (appears
to be switched off in a default build, but re-enabled if use of 'idea' cipher is enabled.)
ascii_field: phun phakt of
the day: gnupg 1.4.10 permits dynamically loaded
turds, in a manner similar
to openssl.
mircea_popescu: yeah, except we're 4 btc burned if it doesn't work out. i
think.
mircea_popescu: i
think
the colo price is a little overboard, myself, but hey, maybe
they're worth it.

mircea_popescu: ascii_field so apparently amd not on provider's list. you can live with supermicro ? or want
to mail your own box ?
mircea_popescu: amusingly, it probably could be
translated
to ukrainian. just... english doesn't curse nearly enough.
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski i wouldn't
trust whatever a reason.com reporter misunderstood on a

mircea_popescu: heck, actually you could run
the whole affair as a "clothes free zone".
ascii_field: wasn't
there a
thing where chicago police dept. had one.
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: how is
this any different
than a ghetto brothel?
mircea_popescu: prolly make pretty decent rent off all
the state kid support.
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller if i wanted
to be a usian slumlord, i'd buy a decrepit building, hold auditions for (nude) black women under 25, on
the premise
that
they get
to stay
there free, but
they don't get
to say no
to any cock.
pete_dushenski: thestringpuller: not a bad gig, really. actually does more for 'the people'
than gov't ever did.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: and you can make it norse! swap out
the
