ben_vulpes: wags was a bust last round according
to you
ben_vulpes: lady v has scheduled
this
trip
to coincide with con3
ben_vulpes: ahaha so let me
trumpet
the superiority of my woman for a moment
mircea_popescu: a normally functioning economy would incentivize him
to get out of
the loop, by for instance starvation. however... all
this desire
to "help people"
the wrong way, and
the overpowered and hyperactive mothers
that overprotect
the squirrulous fruit of
their womb makes any sort of meaningful rescue impossible.
mircea_popescu: i suppose
the
terrorist can
then wipe his bloody
tool on reddit screencaps printed on archival paper
decimation: heh. others of his kind post on reddit about how
terrible
this is
mircea_popescu: he gets killed by a "terrorist" who proceeds
to rape his corpse and boil his pet.
decimation: then he's lowered into peasant-hood and has
to work
to eat?
mircea_popescu: that's
the 3rd degree. soon enough
the whole charade collapsed.
mircea_popescu: these are 2nd degree.
then
the
town he lives in goes
to shit, because no servants can be found, so smart people leave and usg moves in.
mircea_popescu: and also
the sort of self discipline
that job forces on him, so he is now also fat.
mircea_popescu: this does not cost him just
the 380, but also
the ease of interacting with people
that job would have forced upon him. so he has no girlfriend.
mircea_popescu: ie, random imbecile 20something figures it's ok for him
to forego employment as
the guy bagging my groceries on
the grounds
that he can do without
the 380 a week
that job pays, and besides, he's a college grad! so he plays wow.
mircea_popescu: the 2nd and 3rd degree losses from
this far outstrip
the 1st degree.
mircea_popescu: the job
thing cuts so low
that it is absolutely NEVER
the case ANYONE couldn't find a job. it's just
they do not wish
to do
the jobs available
to
them.
mircea_popescu: just like
the pizzeria
that gives you a cute plushie isn't necessarily going
to be
the best pizza for your buck.
decimation: it might yield interesting patterns across large demographics, but
the bridge of causality has yet
to be constructed
decimation: the ability solve random puzzle games probably has nearly nothing
to do with being a productive employee
decimation: actually he is making exactly
the same error
that you claim
the iq
testing guys are making
mircea_popescu: i suppose
this is going
to be
the next personal
trainer.
mircea_popescu: i knew
that church idiot wasn't
the only cockroach in
the kitchen
decimation: ben_vulpes: lol, maybe we can 'seo'
the brains of prospective hires
danielpbarron: i guess it wasn't bitcoind
that caused
the power cycle; just happened again just now and it wasn't running..
assbot: Logged on 09-03-2015 23:56:03; asciilifeform: lol, rappoport! directly affiliated with d. icke, iirc? who gave us
the lizards ?
mircea_popescu: i'd prefer
the opposite of b, but in no case am i interested in anything but
the opposite of a.
mircea_popescu: "I’ve always been curious what all
these people have been up
to in
the Valley. Where do
they go all day? What do
they do? If we are so surrounded by lackluster
talent, how do we build all of
these companies
that seem
to be
taking over
the world?"
mircea_popescu: props
to
the idiot women running
tech crunch nowadays
tho, going
to
town with
their
typically idiotic "we claim nonsense as fact, because bois are generally
too shy
to
tell us
to stuff it"
mircea_popescu: all fields have hierarchy. good fields like finance, consulting and [good] engineering have competence based hierarchy. bad fields like women in
tech, women in blabla have derpage based hierarchy.
cazalla: it's like a
tomato and passionfruit combined
cazalla: i read
they grow em next door in chile.. quite nice (old guy over
the back has a
tree)
cazalla: mircea_popescu, do you get
tamarillo's over
that way?
mircea_popescu: the fact
that it's one of
the lamest "superheroes" (ghost something i dun recall) of one of
the lamest "brands" (hanna-barbera, makers of utter age of crap atrocities like scooby doo and
the jetsons) only bolsters
the point
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: we may never know. just
thought it was relevant when I saw it on r/bitcoin
assbot: Logged on 08-03-2015 19:09:12;
thestringpuller: punkman: keybase is forcing users
to
trust in central authority rather
than forcing users
to learn "their lessons"
mircea_popescu: this mentioned mostly
to explain why om malik was never worth anything, and
the "entrepreneurship" he deludes himself with / defrauded naive investors with pure puff.
mircea_popescu: which is why he is a central figure, and a nail off which many hats are hung.
the moment he comes loose off of
that, he lost it all.
mircea_popescu: isn't nice"/up
to whatever libertarded snuff miss
the point by a planetsize. his capital 100% consists of reliably
telling "authorities"
to go fuck
themselves. sorta like me, in his field.
assbot: Logged on 08-03-2015 18:49:19; asciilifeform: a good chunk of
the reputation of linus
t. is
that he's been fairly effective at keeping a lid on
this kind of
thing, historically
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
that
thing is pretty much
THE showcase

decimation: so
the eu announced
they would be printing euros, and in reaction german gov't bonds... rallied?
mircea_popescu: That's
the
thing. It looks like it should work, on
the surface. If you don't dig
too deeply, you may even come
to
the mistaken belief it worked for others. Meanwhile... Social Studies Do Not Work."
mircea_popescu: goes with my "Remember
the inept newsweek goon, Leah McGrath Goodman ?
The chick with
the mortgage she can't pay on her own ? Like
that other chick, like each and every other chick in
this quagmire of chickdom ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: "Gigaom is winding down and its assets are now controlled by
the company’s lenders. It is not how you want
the story of a company you founded
to end. " << ahaha.
this is so fucking convenient.
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> hoster? << gigaom was a ms shill back when ballmer was new and ms
thought blogs might matter.
mod6: mircea_popescu: is someone coming
to pick me up from
the aeropuerto

mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> mircea_popescu: anything damning we ought

think
they've notlost a plane yet.
decimation: but apple isn't in
the business of making functionality
decimation: ah apparently not.
that makes it absolutely worthless for any purpose
mircea_popescu: <mod6> mp: you run .ar now right? just
tell 'em im comin and it's all good. < haha nah.
decimation: not
that it much matters, given
that it will barely work for a day without charging
decimation: re: apple watch < my question: did
they spend an extra $10 for a
temperature compensated crystal oscillator or does it have a cheapass crystal which requires constant correction
decimation: apparently
the state department 'officially admitted'
that
the passports were insecure and leaked info
mircea_popescu: <ben_vulpes> i have
to pay
the reciprocity fee again don't i << reciprocisquat all
the names!
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform>
the ar entry fee gizmo,
that is << i don't
think you can readily imagine how
tech retarded
the argentines actually are.
decimation: asciilifeform: re: passports < did you notice
that
the us state dept. now issues an 'rf proof' sleeve with all passports?
cazalla: as for bezzle.. "22.3 Million in 6 Rounds from 8 Investors " didn't seem
to help
cazalla: not
that it's notable, just serves as another example of what is
to come for similar sites
cazalla: gigaom was some
tech site or other, never really read it
tbh, just knew of
the name
cazalla: tldr is
that it's shutting down
cazalla: but i don't use my phone much at all now since i was relegated back
to iphone 4 after smashing
the 5, if it wasn't for google maps i'd get rid of it
cazalla: danielpbarron: i created a folder
to dump all
the undeletable apps and hide
the whole
thing on
the last page <<< hah i do
this
too and
the folder is
titled useless
mod6: i wont be

thursday afternoon.
danielpbarron: oo what about a shoe phone like in
those old detective shows
danielpbarron: i created a folder
to dump all
the undeletable apps and hide
the whole
thing on
