BingoBoingo: Ozone isn't
as bad
as the cigarettes I already smoke
BingoBoingo waiting for mails. Doing the dance again with Uni to set up job interview. This time
as customer service god. Would once again take cheapest of accomodations available for the lulz.
decimation: not
as far
as food productiong goes, no
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> poor idiots, broadcasting 'i am growing weed!' for miles << I remember freshman year of undergrad being high
as fuck reading about infared indentification of marijuana and not realizing till I sobered up that they were talking grow lights and not smoke.
ascii_field: ever make 'resistor' with pencil
as a boy ?
danielpbarron: i don't recall what I said to him, but I'm sure I explained the WoT
as I did with most people I met there
danielpbarron: i had tracked one of my targets down and found him in the main assembly space, and was prepared to follow him out (
as you cannot kill someone under the roof of an offical event) but then I saw Fare walk in and I didn't want him to see me following the guy, so I walked up to him instead, and in so doing, lost my actual target :/
decimation: it would have been interesting
as a dod project back in 1980
decimation: the problem is that computers
as-existing are in the same box
decimation: the spirit of the thing seems right: let's bail on the internet
as it is a god foresaken hellhole
ascii_field: he had some bloke
as live-in human compiler, aha
mircea_popescu: i never heard of anyone sleeping
as you say through "Taking what was given"
ascii_field: two basic but imho entirely separate problems with mr mold - a) he wasn't entirely mentally clean of usg to begin with ( most of mircea_popescu's observations fall into (a)) b) he was approached,
as early
as 2010, and told 'your crackpot os will be funded and you can sleep ad libitum, but there is a price'
decimation:
as yarvin wrote: "An Internet server is, above all, a massive fortified castle in alien zombie territory."
ascii_field: for similar reason
as to why mircea_popescu doesn't want to buy his isp trunk line
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: the one twist is,
as far
as i can tell, most of these 'plowing flies' disinfo agents are... unpaid
mircea_popescu: and ftr, the nist ec crapolade was ALWAYS regarded
as suspiciouys at best "by people in the business"
ascii_field: all the turdation nodez may
as well be one.
mircea_popescu: do that, mgith
as well "store your private keys with keybase.io indacloud"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform long known, that machine. it consists of a belt and,
as mo says, "totu-i din incheietura, ma, degeaba tot..."
chetty: I wonder if being on the internet so much only makes you guys now see the 'west'
as reddit and there just might be actual civilization out there if you get off the computers.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> BingoBoingo it just so happens it died like 8 times to date. << So did actual Greek,
as did actual Fortran.
mircea_popescu: i don't know the greek situation well enough to quote chapter and verse past the general impression, but
as to romanian i can sign you a warrant. robotzi is strictly sufficient proof, for decades, perhaps a century.
chetty: nation
as a thing is rapidly turning into history
BingoBoingo: ^ Police grabbed him, and
as they were arresting him, Labriado yelled several times that "This is for the black people!"
Belxjander: okay...
as soon
as I can then...preferably with my desktop and not from this tablet and rpi-znc setup
pete_dushenski: 'understanding an eagle's viewpoint by living
as a worm in dirt'
mircea_popescu: it's not a crime by any means.
as they say, there's a blessing for everything
pete_dushenski: "What we - and yes, I include myself firmly in this much despised camp – view
as degeneracy are the expected developments ; that is, the highly predictable and completely foreseeable destruction wrought by making good things “accessible” and “easy-to-use.”" << this is what stands from plato's lament
mircea_popescu: and yes, sure there were folks who made a reputation. then
as now.
gernika: mircea_popescu I thought all usians dipped fries in the frier
as teens or college students at least. Do the younger ones not go through that anymore?
assbot: Logged on 04-05-2015 18:55:44; ascii_field: not even chumps,
as such - many of these folks (i usedto work with'em) are laughing all the way to the bank, riding the thermodynamic waterfall between usd salary and cn cost of living
decimation: I recall the working s/360
as being very ... large
decimation: I actually visited a fully-operating s/360 working at an faa ARTCC
as a youth
decimation: gernika: that's kinda the point of the earlier converation.
as long
as you count your wealth in usd, you are owned by usg and are wealthy at their pleasure
decimation: but to connect with your point, clearly
as long
as you are wholly owned by usg, doing business in its monopoly money, don't be surprised when 'it giveth and taketh away'
decimation: you can even give to schmuckson jr - but
as soon
as he gets his hands on it the clock starts

As a final station, I'd like to describe what online freelancer markets look like for people like me. On freelancer.com and oDesk, you compete with hundreds of lowest-wage programmers from third world countries for exceedingly crappy "projects". It's an unmitigated race to the bottom. Even if I could land these jobs in an environment where the competition basically works for free, there is no way to ma
mircea_popescu:
http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=03-08-2015#1223204 << this is not actually true. i have had slavegirls make a living off those things,
as a learning exercise. disciplined work ethic earns a very decent living, and forever will. the problem is that for most white adolescents/young adults, that work ethic has to be supported with daily beatings for the first quarter at least.
☝︎ trinque: the unemployable thing strikes me
as being socially dysfunctional
ascii_field: gernika: for the record, i once tried to get 'blue collar' work, and failed. turned away, 'overqualified, you'll leave
as soon
as you can'
☟︎ gernika: Realized at one point I would never even be able to work for a place such
as Whole Foods - even if I wanted to.
ascii_field: chetty: once he goes to the burgers (not a trivial feat
as it may seem, you have to convincingly fake a 'blue-collar' background) - may
as well eat pistol
danielpbarron: the slithy toves she got
as payment will let us continue doing stuff in eulora for at least the next few months

as a payment option for their games? : starcraft ... (

jurov:
as was the lulzcustom here... i am "husak's child" after czechoslovak president
jurov: of course,
as you don't employ ppl and move stuff afaik
BingoBoingo: I for one welcome shenanigans
as our new overlord
mircea_popescu: "because we haven't joined the sv circus to not deliver huge numbers devoid of any content or meaning!!1"
as hearn aptly put it.
mircea_popescu: pretty much every amateur thinker / world saver captive in english
as his sole language would benefit immensely from reading balzac. whereas the clueful might really enjoy the elegant display he makes of things.
mircea_popescu: but that aside, naggum's via alf point re complexity being usually and generally
as a safe bet the result of someone missing the thinkboat certainly stands resplendent on its own feet.
assbot: Logged on 03-04-2015 19:07:33; mircea_popescu: look. whatever whatever may be built
as or not, i have two basic expectations. one is, for fucking machinery to behave the same way from night to next evening. the other, albeit weaker, is that if i get a "minimal work" thing i actually have to do minimal work.
trinque: the lcov stuff would probably be more helpful with a battery of tests run upon it such
as mod6 has discussed
williamdunne: jurov: What would you like on the Eurola website? Starting out with clisp so I'll see if I can get that done
as my hello world project
