mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i dunno what problem you see in there ?
trinque: k, turning on the feeds. each will barf top 5 when added.
asciilifeform: and so did the grandparents.
asciilifeform: perhaps completes the picture if i reveal that the man had wife, 2 y.o. son, back home. and they lived very well off his chickenfeed salary.
asciilifeform: and yes, this was one. there are moar
asciilifeform: me: 'your thesis reads just like a summary of dr. c's work'
asciilifeform: me: 'why did you choose this profession, y?' y: 'wanted to be respectable'
asciilifeform: me: 'y., why do you read the 'times' all day?' y: 'i'm bored.'
asciilifeform: very well: dr y. y., biochemistry ph.d., age mid-30s (at the time); wasted perhaps $2mil of usg piggy, and everybody's time, for 5+ yrs.
asciilifeform: some of these are still (!) in ncbi db on www
asciilifeform: few years back, they shot (or perhaps made noises of threatening to?) a mega-crystallographer in uni of beijing. he faked structures for decades, and his subordinates too
asciilifeform: ask the chemistry ph.d. how he got the sheepskin. ask the next dozen, also. 'washed glass for advisor'
asciilifeform: other thing is that these fine folks have been perfecting organized fraud since before euro man climbed down from trees
asciilifeform: not related by blood or marriage ? then you're a barbarian, to be dealt with the way a teenager deals with a coke machine
asciilifeform: then, essentially, urbanized pashtuns, with tribal-familial wot hardcoded in firmware
asciilifeform: or i suppose i could talk about my years of working in labs with ~50% or so cn folks, getting to know'em, but i don't imagine mircea_popescu will find this interesting
asciilifeform: ask al schwartz about the univ. of beijing carrying out (yes) the eotvos trials.
mircea_popescu: usure this is not just how everyone sees idiots ?
asciilifeform: it isn't a 'couldn't do business,' but my current understanding is that the han chinese see white man sorta how the gypsies see european - as somebody to be scammed clean at the first opportunity.
mircea_popescu: and as to who : women.

asciilifeform: who the hell moves to ro to earn the local salary though
mircea_popescu: yes, that's not a concern. nevertheless, whether i buy or i don't buy is still a decision.
mircea_popescu: the rent in romania article i linked coupla weeks ago was discussing "affordability" in terms of, "to people makinmg 400 euro per month as an avg salary".
mircea_popescu: im not even sure what this is.
asciilifeform: at any rate, this is not the class of problem which is a problem to mircea_popescu.
mircea_popescu: for the working class kids - no.
trinque: shenzen is not the south pole lol
asciilifeform: like shipping to the south pole.
trinque: they make it all there
mircea_popescu: you take water upriver much ? lol
mircea_popescu: trinque why would they :)
trinque: I know for a fact they ship *from*
trinque: nobody ships to Shenzen?
trinque: that much is true
asciilifeform: trinque: y'know what houston and magnolia have in common? 'fedex' ships there.
mircea_popescu: i needed regular supply flights in my own fucking country, just for having moved to the outskirts of my home province.,
trinque: or for that matter downtown Houston vs Magnolia, TX
mircea_popescu: so you propose to me that a 10 mn sqkm surface inhabited by ~2bn people is ENTIRELY uninhabitable, on account of the fact that... RICE grows there ?
asciilifeform: but i reasoned that if mircea_popescu were an aficionado of mega-emptyspace, he'd be in patagonia now
trinque: right, and look at the variance you get in the USA
mircea_popescu: china is ten million square kms or some shit.
asciilifeform: not much in the way of lactosy foodstuff served there, no.
asciilifeform: trinque: neither i nor the sources can speak for 'all' of anything. but cn is a rice kingdom, yes.
mircea_popescu: kinda my point. working into/out of "cn". what is that ?
mircea_popescu: how do you know all this ?
asciilifeform: at any rate, who am i to say that mircea_popescu would not fit in cn. perhaps he has always wanted to eat roast dog, pay 90% of his revenue as bakshish to local party 'райком', and endure the stench of the most packed mass of beoble known...
mircea_popescu: say, this is starting to make sense to me nopw.
asciilifeform: i bet nubbins`'s cook roomie isn't any more present in pyongyang than in pekin
mircea_popescu: who's the lame thin fuck of china again ? or i lost an antecedent, wut
asciilifeform: idk, but i imagine it isn't any less entertaining than crashing a lame thin fuck's party ?
mircea_popescu: why would i want to crash some lame fat fuck's party ?
trinque: I'm highly skeptical that a country building all the everything anyone uses on earth is anything like Pyongyang.
asciilifeform: and the means to make it stick
mircea_popescu: pretty much anyone but the north american fucktardry.
mircea_popescu: pekin or b-a, or timisoara or so on
asciilifeform: and think they can run naked in pekin ?
mircea_popescu: for that matter, stuff you hunt is proper food.
mircea_popescu: how are the girls going to run around naked in siberia ? get locals ?
asciilifeform: i mean, if i had to give up something like eating Proper Food, i'd rather live on tree bark in siberia. nice, quiet, prolly could get a photovoltaic set and satellite horn running there.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you know this worldview is how the south got its reputation for cousinfucking.
asciilifeform: looks more like 'chances on pluto' to me, but hey, not my dirigible. what's the thing for if not exploring worlds.
mircea_popescu: how's my chances on redheads ? what's the oracle say ?
mircea_popescu: this categorical judgement thing.
asciilifeform: y'know, the place which makes ru look civilized, friendly, inviting in comparison
asciilifeform lacks the necessary lsd to fully digest the notion of mircea_popescu moving to the world's statally-strongest, taking-no-shit-from-the-white-man mega-ethnostate
trinque: I'm going to let it run in private for just a bit, after which when I'm satisfied with his behavior, will add feeds here.
asciilifeform: '...For the women whose jobs are to lead men astray Circe, Delilah, Morgan Le Fey.'
trinque: bout to bring a deedbot- feeds module online
asciilifeform: and it appears that scoopbot is dead as a stone.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: did someone mail you these and asked 'sister of mircea_popescu ?'
assbot: Logged on 06-07-2015 20:54:46; mircea_popescu: which is why no cows, no trees, everyone on tatamis
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=06-07-2015#1190095 << old mircea_popescu-and-the-chinese thread, for extra lulz ☝︎
asciilifeform: 'cause i have a car instead of a dirigible, and own two hands instead of servants ?
asciilifeform: that exe is still out there, somewhere. who wants a fairly simple student project !
asciilifeform: did early pgp just throw entirely unprocessed, raw sewage to generate the modulus ?!!
mircea_popescu: "yes hubba ment condition all the way!"
asciilifeform: but i do not know the word.
