☟︎ mp_en_viaje: but this is a very personal thing -- i don'
t begrudge anyone left the interest his interest ; i'll even read the stories of faits d'armes, just because i'm too old to get it up anymore dun mean impotence is desirable now or some shit. fuck that world sideways, take all its money, by all means.
mp_en_viaje: i personally can'
t be arsed to extract
money out of the decay of outside world. this is purely personal -- ive been doing it for a long time, marginal utility of more money for me personally is 0, intellectual curiosity left is nil, how shall this be best put ? fucked that
a111: Logged on 2019-01-04 17:18 mircea_popescu: why the fuck didn'
t i think of that.
mp_en_viaje: in other words, market is what's left once the minimax approach was defeated. much like water doesn'
t burn -- because it has burned already -- minimaxing in context of money, language, human relationships does not work.
mp_en_viaje: which is the substance of my objection : that on certain topics, which aren'
t randomly distributerd but structurally related to money (in the sense of social interaction) you tend to apply such wildly inadequate macroexpansions.
mp_en_viaje: like a pair of shoes, which is WHAT THEY ARE. a job isn'
t who the fuck you are, a job is ~something you bought~. like a tv set or a couch.
mp_en_viaje: then everyone : "so take it apart, reproduce the pieces on larger scale" ; alf : "oh noex, my toy choper can'
t be opened, it's magical"
mp_en_viaje: look at it : " incidentally fwiw the shack asciilifeform lives in , would cost ~2y of his pay to buy. but i ~dun want~ to buy it" === "my toy chopper DOES put MUCH MORE thrust than it weighs, but what of it, i can'
t ride it"
mp_en_viaje: and you did not say "this is true of my toy chopper also". you said ~exactly the opposite~ : "my toy chopper DOES put MUCH MORE thrust than it weighs, but what of it, i can'
t ride it".
mp_en_viaje: mno. a : "here is job". b : "this job does not pay enough to buy house" ; a. "but shoebox also house" b : "your scamhouse doesn'
t make your scamjob a job"
mp_en_viaje:
t'd take to buy a respective portion of the finite turkeys of the land.
mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, diplomats don'
t pay income taxes.
mp_en_viaje: therefore such a person can'
t afford to live in queens.
mp_en_viaje: whaack: alright ty. I will drop the nyc linkedin plan then << nyc is a terrible place to stay in any case. if you're not making bank on wallstreet, you have no excuse to be there ; and even then, it's an excuse. if you're gonna linkedin, do a basic "what job pays - what single family ~house~ costs to buy in location.". if job doesn'
t pay over what loan would cost you, it is not a job, whatever they call it.
whaack: I wasn'
t implying that I would test drive Uruguay for a year. I would try it for 1-2 months first of course.
BingoBoingo: But if you are mining LinkedIn et al for jobs, it probably wouldn'
t hurt to look down here.
BingoBoingo: whaack: I'd recommend if you come to Uruguay you don'
t spend the whole year test driving the country without a solid job offer when there's other parts of LATAM to explore.

t sabotage their work / code.
diana_coman: moreover, while it is doable (like ~anything else really), it's hard to really see the reason to *choose* to do it when one hasn'
t yet been sucked into it ; and stjohn_piano_2 strikes me as trying to NOT get sucked into it.
☟︎ diana_coman: asciilifeform: for one thing you already have skills he doesn'
t yet seem to have and for the other thing you constantly say it yourself that at times there is no juice left for ffa /similar.
a111: Logged on 2019-05-17 12:29 diana_coman:
http://btcbase.org/log/2019-05-17#1914338 -> how/why is that? at any rate, arond here it's more important that you *do* answer (i.e. don'
t just let stuff get lost) rather than "real-time"
a111: Logged on 2019-05-16 17:48 mp_en_viaje: the other prong is that you don'
t actually have anything you can compete in. slave labour or no slave labour, she does it in five hours and you don'
t.
stjohn_piano_2: i contemplated the possibility of 20-50 authors on edgecase. not people here now, who already have their own blogs, workers, etc, but new people, who perhaps don'
t want to run an entire blog, but would like to occasionally sign and publish their work.

☟︎ mp_en_viaje: it's transparently a slot for us to humiliate itself, which it won'
t do, so...
mp_en_viaje: i didn'
t use at all. i know things through... guru meditation.
diana_coman: possibly they "cleaned" her account for herself since it can'
t possibly be that she wrote such a thing there !!
mp_en_viaje: yeah, cuz frankly i can'
t imagine what more.
mp_en_viaje: heh. haven'
t logged in forever, they might even have.
mp_en_viaje: "oh mp, existed, you just didn'
t dig deep enough" "yeah. right."
mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, currently im most amused at the inventing imaginary person with the most obscure of names. somehow oddly this chick didn'
t exist last year.
mp_en_viaje: hey, maybe if real africans weren'
t really subhuman, they could be economically useful ?
diana_coman even still has somewhere a profile in there but can'
t be quite bothered atm about it
diana_coman: on which I can access the linkedin site I mean; possibly some paywall or whatever, didn'
t bother to really go around it
diana_coman: ah, ah, purged refs on it; (linked in site was derping re login bla bla so I didn'
t get to see the content)
stjohn_piano_2:
http://btcbase.org/log/2019-05-16#1914109 << yes. i didn'
t even trust the implementation of the hash function though. i started out with the assumption "it's all terrible" and the conclusion was "the only true test is to get a transaction from this address into the blockchain".
☝︎ stjohn_piano_2: mp_en_viaje: makes sense. i don'
t think i'm a good choice for advertising work.
mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, more like in 90s, didn'
t they write a lisp-web thing ?
mp_en_viaje: anyway, here's a consultancy i'm willing to hire you for : find some place that a) doesn'
t suck and b) offers a good price to advertise trilema on. large venues only ; none of the pompous bullshit. bulk adult traffic would do fine for instance, maybe talk to the juicyads dorks.
a111: Logged on 2019-05-16 17:48 mp_en_viaje: so look, and i hope you don'
t take this the wrong way (a hope mostly fed by your claim to have read the logs) : you're a guy with an evident humanities / non-technical background trying to get something going, start a company, all that stuff. nothing wrong with that. you are however currently beset by two prongs of problem. one is that in your quest to do something, you often do things that are getting in your own way -- there's no benefit for you f

☟︎ BingoBoingo: And a lot of people advertising for "transcription" aren'

☟︎ stjohn_piano_2: asciilifeform: this computer doesn'
t have a djvu reader, but i have no doubt that it's painful.
mp_en_viaje: you have to understand, you can'
t ~anachronize~ ; you gotta explain how it makes sense in time-bound context. otherwise yes forever it'll be the case "past makes sense, present does not"
mp_en_viaje: but anyway, you can'
t crown yourself king in places that aren'
t kingdom. the only thing you can crown yourself, or be crowned for that matter, in new zealand is scapegoat. which isn'
t the sort of crowning anyone who's not actually a biological goat is interested in.
a111: Logged on 2019-05-16 16:50 asciilifeform realizes that he hasn'
t the faintest clue re nz, never could even be arsed to see aerial map of it. pictures it as a sort of larger falklands.
mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, christchurch isn'
t the nz capital. look over at tripoli lulz.
mp_en_viaje: socialisms just don'
t grow men, what's so hard about this ?
mp_en_viaje: see, it's not "collaborators" that are needed. it's people brave enough to go into room and maybe get shot. for pantsuitism! where the fuck can such be had ? russia couldn'
t produce anymore for afghanistan than usg could for vietnam.
mp_en_viaje: now, while you still have it ? because it fucking obviously won'
t last ?
mp_en_viaje: kinda how i explain this sort of behaviour. if you were a deeply unpopular, and irredeemably, unfixably unpopular tyranny, and all you had were two sets of reserves for your 30-man strong repressive police, wouldn'
t YOU go all out ?
mp_en_viaje doesn'
t have so much time to fuck with this right now, but i wanted to get the above out early.
mp_en_viaje: also a buncha assus boards also support it. but i don'
t want to have all the boards from same manuf.
mp_en_viaje: afaik this one does, but i haven'
t gotten to it yet.
mp_en_viaje: so then, can'
t say "oh, defective, ddr3". the hole's fine -- if you don'
t want shit ram don'
t buy shit ram.
a111: Logged on 2019-05-14 19:58 mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, if a piece of hardware doesn'
t work in the manner it's expected to, the common word used to describe the situation is "defective". there's no dispute here : nobody has to buy hardware that works in a way that they do not condone. it is not the ddr slot's fault that such hardware can be had, is it.
diana_coman: oh boy, this I didn'
t know but I can'
t say I'm surprised; because yes, there is no limit to it either.
mp_en_viaje: diana_coman, the most eminent example of this was obese woman who "was doing it for the kids" : ate 5-6-7 servings of shawarma / day "because kid can'
t eat it has to have her chew it for them". LITERAL "REASON".
diana_coman: I think the "for the kids" is the usual "parent" cop-out i.e. everything they do is all of a sudden "for the kids" don'
t you know; the emigration is just one thing, not specific

t resist to 'pump' the heat gradient, i'd even prefer if you bid on auction yerself and milked 'bicyclist' w/ own steam.
mp_en_viaje: nobody forces you to put bad ram in the slots. and as long as the cpu ain'
t intel...
amberglint: I could try to probe the uploader of that video, but chances aren'
