trinque: I'm archiving
things for
the derpocalypse
decimation: USB support yet, which means
that
there is no local storage
decimation: ;;later
tell pete_dushenski
There is no
mats: good
to hear shinohai
mircea_popescu: one kid unhappy with
the other poseurs in
the "cancelarie" of romanian schools cca 1980. maybe
two. in each school.
ag3nt_zer0: yeah... it's coming... just need
to do it wisely
mircea_popescu: if it makes you feel; any better,
this is a
traditional problem of
teaching as practiced since
that bismarck's invention of
the "school"
ag3nt_zer0: my problem is
that I get so fucking mad at
these poseurs who have
the nerve
to claim
that
they carry
the flame of knowledge
to pass on
to
these kids... when all
they are doing is
trying
to make
themselves appear nice in
their own mirrors
mircea_popescu: the life and
times and
the choices before us, good lord.
ag3nt_zer0: mircea_popescu: yes, I still have
to learn
the ropes in
these ways... don't fret, my inner psychopath is learning
mircea_popescu: "i don't care how you do it.
this is how i do it. get out of my classroom."
mircea_popescu: you, of all
the only people here, are in
the best position. stop making up random excuses.
mircea_popescu: you went
to school, learned a
trade, now youy're gonna aplly it.
assbot: Logged on 09-07-2015 15:07:02; asciilifeform: can be attached
to
the gpio in pogo
ag3nt_zer0: mircea_popescu:
the principal said
that I have a choice... but it was just a sidelined statement really
trinque: it's not like you're going
to save
that public school from itself and
then
that'll somehow mean
the empire doesn't fall over anyway
trinque: the whole
thing's coming down anyway
ag3nt_zer0: but I won't say anything
till I make my money
to
travel
the world next year...
then when I quit I will mention
that
they should look into
their shit a little more
trinque: so piss in all
their cheerios or leave, mang
ag3nt_zer0: and
trinque,
this is a PARENT PARTICIPATION school... and none of
these motherfuckers seem
to know
that
their entire discipline system was created by
this jack ass
trinque: really do have
to be willing
to fight people
to keep any sanity in
the states
mircea_popescu: ag3nt_zer0 so you
told
them
that "maybe YOU do, miss derp, but I do not. anything else ?"
ag3nt_zer0: and it
turns out
the entire
thing was created by a guy who commited suicide in a hotel room after he was accused of molesting kids
mircea_popescu: sort-of like
the "here's gavin's head on a plate, fuckwits. now what ?"
assbot: Logged on 09-07-2015 14:50:35; asciilifeform: we launch
the pogos, and suddenly 'ntp is obsolete, dontchaknow,' here is a new replacement by poettering, 85% consensus1111!!!1111!!! within weeks, plug pulled on ntp servers
trinque: and when
the child screams for another cupcake, you shall deliver it
to him in no less
than 15 seconds
ag3nt_zer0: so i resisted for a while,
then finally looked it up
thinkning "ok, I'll have a good go at it and backburner my cynicism"
ag3nt_zer0: for instance, I just got a job
teaching music at a school 2 days a week... so it's my own classroom. however, I have already been
told
that "we don't ever raise our voices here"... "we all go by our first names"... etc all
this hippy slop
trinque: ag3nt_zer0: oh I know; I
think it's
too fucked
to salvage
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
two words from a pile of paper you yourself regard as disinfo ?
ag3nt_zer0: trinque:
to be fair, I was subbing last year, and so
these were not "my" classrooms, but still, it is just so fucking degenerate man... but check
this: even of it IS your classroom it can still be quite dufficult with
these fucking democratically programmed idiots in charge
trinque: whereas
the problem you describe is one of *you* not being in charge
mircea_popescu: "bandwidth just comes from whining
to dad, money has nothing
to do with it. why should i get a summere job ??!?!?!"
trinque: ag3nt_zer0:
to reword what I was saying,
thinking in
terms of rights means somebody else is in charge, doesn't it?
mircea_popescu: "You can't solve a problem of lack of bandwidth by higher fees for access. A system
that is
too bandwidth limited
to serve it's users isn't fixed by making
the service more expensive."
mircea_popescu: BitFury pool (~ 16% of hashrate) drops
their max block size
to 135 kB amidst large mempool backlog << check out all
the gavin miner support.
assbot: Logged on 08-07-2015 21:17:35; ascii_field: one
telling mark of a
tard is
that he is unwilling
to consider
that market's job is not only
to supply folks with
things, but
to REFUSE
to supply
them
trinque: the idea
that a bunch of kids can overrule you is insane, aside from a fantasy
trinque: what I'm saying is if you were in power in
the situation it wouldn't matter
ag3nt_zer0: trinque: yes but
these ridiculously reductionist
tolerance ideas put into
the heads of idiots just amounts
to, as MP says something about in a blurb about professionalism on
trilema, amateurs playing
the racist card or what not... any number of limp-dicked excuses and diversions from what should be
the
teacher's right
to maintain a fucking orderly environment
assbot: Logged on 09-07-2015 12:58:26; punkman: "I wish I had
the money
to setup enough miners myself
to get 95% hashing power and just freaking fork already."
mircea_popescu:
http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=09-07-2015#1194820 <<
the reason he doesn't have
the ~2
trillion required is EXACTLY
that he would do
this with it. and it's a stupid idea and it shouldt be done. in
the general case, money works
to limit
the power of influencing
the course of events people have, and gathers itself in
the hands of
those who ~SHOULD~ have most
to say.
☝︎ assbot: Logged on 09-07-2015 09:58:31; punkman: "Berlusconi, 78, will not have
to serve
the sentence as
the statute of limitations expires later
this year, well before a final ruling will have been reached on appeal."
trinque: ag3nt_zer0:
that reduces
to "you should, as
the
teacher, be in charge of
the fucking room."
mircea_popescu: yeah. and if us falls over how many folk will go
to canada.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you know, can't leave disqus because
that's where his discwot is.
ag3nt_zer0: meanwhile, any good student, mexican, white, asian, whatever, is completely fucked and her education is retarded even more
than it would be normally, just by virtue of
the PE system... but
this shit makes it so much worse
mircea_popescu: and i bet you
they
told you all you needed
to hear about gravity wells and whatnot.
ag3nt_zer0: I mean maybe we aren't speaking of
the same
thing... here, in US, multiculti is synonymous with "tolerance" and "diversity" and cultural relativism.... which
translates
to, in many cases, classrooms full of unruly mexican children claiming racism if you say
that 2+2=4
trinque: let it be known
that I resent having had
to search
the landfill for
this shit
trinque: along
those lines, I only just found naggum's hyperspec.el
mircea_popescu: ag3nt_zer0 let's put it
this way : you couldn't as a middle class woman marry some douche who didn't speak multiple languages. because your parents wouldn't let you.
mircea_popescu: we did
the funny naming conventions
they used here before
mircea_popescu: nah, doesn't reduce
to
that. central europe used
to be run by a multicultural empire.
trinque: asciilifeform: hey,
they change
the holiday aisle at walmart for cinco de mayo!
mircea_popescu: just because
they sell shit under imported names in
the us doesn't mean
the originals are bad
