cazalla: i
think i need a keyboard fitted with a breathalyzer
decimation: yeah I have read. what I don't understand is why anyone would
think
that
the compiler is
the weak link in
the C software stack
decimation: I downloaded and used, and found it immediately failed
to compile anything
that included gnu C extensions
decimation: yeah it seems like a waste of
time
trying
to
turn
the c-dialect of algol into
the ada dialect
decimation: I
think
there are
tools sold
to evaluate compliance with
that standard
decimation: for instance, you mentioned
the 'cert c' standard yesterday
decimation: asciilifeform: do you have a favorite 'static code analysis'
tool? or do you eschew all such automation in favor of 'fits in head'?
decimation: which can levitate
to whatever degree usg chooses, as long as it keeps
these pipes flowing
decimation: the bottom line is
that all of
this inflates
the real estate asset bubble
decimation: yes,
that's a massive real estate scam
decimation: and
that's before you count anyone who is
trying
to live on salary from an employer
decimation: well,
the better way
to
think about it is
that
there are well over $1 bil bidding up
the prices
decimation: yeah
that's roughly 1/2
to one billion $ per year in your area alone, usg paid rent
ben_vulpes: oh wait
the subsidy is for your *mortgage* not your *rent*
decimation: so imagine what
that alone does
to
the local real estate bezzle...
decimation: now, I
think
there are well over 200k of military in your area ascii
mats: being an ossifer is good shit if you can live with
the job
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: buys house
they're moving out of or moving into?
decimation: yes
that's a separate program, but
they will buy your house at 'prevailing rates'
mats: might be 20, i never made it
to E-5.
mats: folks are encouraged
to get married so
they can eat fo free
decimation: the whole business works out
to be a backdoor gov't subsidy for
the real estate bezzle near bases
mats: you get paid
to live off base if you're E-5
decimation: ben_vulpes: yes,
the deal with
the housing is
this: you get
the full amount I quoted
tax free
ben_vulpes: i imagine most of
that gets hoovered into rentier pockets.
decimation: I had a friend in
the wash dc area
that calculated an O3 officer (roughly BS degree plus 5 years experience) makes about $140k in wash dc
decimation: as you can imagine,
this sets a 'floor' in
the market
decimation: actually
there are plenty of single-payer rentals around your area
decimation: actually in most 'modern' us developments it is against
the hoa rules
to have more
than one family - sometimes even roommates - living
there
punkman: asciilifeform: well you'd have
to move, so no more usd job
decimation once went
to
the guatamala v. salvador match in rfk stadium -
the entire place was full
to
the rafters
nubbins`: this place was below 1% vacancy for quite a
time
nubbins`: well, if nothing else, i get
the scarce rental market
thing
nubbins`: i heard it smells like brimstone
there
decimation: even if he was,
the landlord has
to pay his expenses in usd
decimation: yeah it could be bitcoinized only in
the special case
that he is in your wot
ben_vulpes: well duh it can't be bitcoinized - you don't know him and so cannot
trust him.
nubbins`: what's a young anti-consumerist
to do ;/
nubbins`: asciilifeform i sort of gloss over
the fact
that years of reading "mother earth news" before
taking
the plunge
took most of
the edge off it
decimation: although it was a large cash
transaction I'm sure it would inspire a degree of interest
ben_vulpes: you're not using
the wot unless you're
trusting your counterparty.
ben_vulpes: and
that's not a wot,
that's a system.
decimation: well, you can get a deposit receipt from
the bank
nubbins`: all i'm saying is
that one can surprise oneself
nubbins`: asciilifeform far be it from me
to say
this is a cure-all
nubbins`: but y'know what? i don't have
to lie in bed every morning wondering whether i'll call in sick
decimation: <asciilifeform> can do
this at bank ? //
that's
the preferred way
to
trade at -otc < yes, most us banks will let you deposit anything into one of
their accounts, no questions asked
nubbins`: i used
to make
that in 13 minutes at my old job
nubbins`: that's
two hundred bucks each, per month. $7 a day.
nubbins`: my wife and i collectively have
to scrounge
together about $400 per month
to keep
this house going
