danielpbarron: well yeah disk IO is
the bottleneck for one syncing with
the network; i
think it's another matter when one is
trying
to seed *while* still syncing
danielpbarron: the bottleneck
there is probably not ethernet speed
danielpbarron: although my experience in
that regard is limited
to pogo->pogo
trinque: I'll just let it run unless anyone has a suggestion on how
to make it hurry up
trinque: it seems
to have one it likes atm
danielpbarron: and in my experience, directly connecting
to a node
takes longer
than just letting it discover peers, even when
the direct connect is on
the local area network
PeterL: oh, and
their website requires flash, which is no longer supports Linux systems or MacOS < 10.6, bleh (I ended up using my smartphone instead)
trinque: that question is effectively "please sell yourself short so I don't have
to"
trinque: PeterL: "I would prefer
to hear your offer and work from
there."
PeterL: "I made X before, but I expect
to be paid 2X (and I would
take
the job if you offer me 1/2 X)"
PeterL: and I hate
the question "how much did your last job pay, and what do you expect
to get paid"? Are
they going
to
throw out my resume if I say
too high a number? Obviously
they won't go above
the number I say, right?
PeterL: a couple jobs ago, when I interviewed
the guy grabbed a random coworker and asked "don't you like working here",
they were like "ummmmmmm, sure?"
that should have been a sign, but I
took job anyway
danielpbarron: they get
to pretent
they are important by making you apply with an automation
lobbes: exactly why I didn't
take it lol
PeterL: if
the guy interviewing you is dejected, doesn't
that
tell you something about
the company?
PeterL: yes, well,
they were printed on
the screen, and I
talk into
the camera
to answer
lobbes: after one of my last interviews I almost would've preferred
that;
the dude was so dejected it was depressing
jurov: the computer asked
the questions?
PeterL: what is
the world coming
to when you
talk
to a computer instead of a person when interviewing for a job?
PeterL: just did a "digital job interview" with BASF, consisted of just recording a video of me answering
the
typical interview questions.
danielpbarron: whenever i check in on
these
things,
the solid state drive is usually busy processing new blocks, and
the 5400 rpm pogo is busy discarding bogus data or whatever it does besides processing blocks
pete_dushenski: fuckin eh
this silbert guy
thinks
that he can avoid
the fate of hearn and gavin
pete_dushenski: and alan "not a us agent" silbert is already pleading ignorance: "I don't recall- has
the market ever gone down AFTER
these auctions occur? B/c I don't
think anybody buying at auction would dump
them on mkt"
pete_dushenski: more waterfalia coming: "U.S. Marshals
to auction off 50,000 bitcoins forfeited by Silk Road founder - Reuters"
assbot: You need an Ambien
to sleep because you bought
the
trappings of power instead of
the real
thing. | Contravex: A blog by Pete Dushenski ... (

mircea_popescu: "He has made an investment in up
to 10k nodes
that would be obsolete if Gavin pushes
through his hard fork."
ben_vulpes: thestringpuller: yeah mircea_popescu found
the bash and everything
thestringpuller: ben_vulpes: it was gpg rules everything around me GREAM...get
the hashes crypto crypto crypto coin. iirc
Adlai: !up
thestringpuller
mircea_popescu: incidentally,
this point may be worth a qntra ? not exactly news, per se, but certainly would be news
to a large section of "community"
assbot: Logged on 03-02-2015 16:17:18; mircea_popescu: people keep derping about uh oh, 7k nodes. BULLSHIT. we're down from 270k
to 61.
mircea_popescu: nubbins`:is anyone interested in donating a modicum of bandwidth
to such a
thing? << it's a kind-of stupid idea because a presynched chain is not verified.
mircea_popescu: nevermind
that zenglish looks kinda like hungarian, and if he wanted zs for j and sz for sh he should just learn
that instead of inventing "a new one".
mircea_popescu: cause zhe is like all into scrabble and hates
the lack of zwords so zhe made zsome.
mircea_popescu: btw, i bet you half a dead badger someone ejaculated on vs any
trading card mythological beast
that
this entire z-ification of words is a ploy by some well connected (online) otaku
to improve
the scrabble board.
mircea_popescu: it's a concept hard
to zunderstand zfor zthe zretard zcrowd, however let us say it's "sort-of like likes", in
that
there's kind-of a limited supply.
mircea_popescu: nubbins`: it's a hobby << you and danielpbarron have a lot more in common
than either of you realise.
mircea_popescu: who
the fuck seriously
thinks
the
their in "everyone must have
their books" could possibly mean "all
the books"
Adlai: guy walking down a hedge, hears chanting behind a gap - "twenty one!
twenty one!
twenty one!"
mircea_popescu: anyway, what happens once mp refuses
to fork english
to make
the pronoun blocks more inclusive ?
kakobrekla: anyway
theres 20 bashes waiting for moderation if someone wants
to give it a go..
assbot: Logged on 18-02-2015 14:49:27; nubbins`: Save us from confusing grammar such as “everyone must have
their books.” Make it instead “everyone must have zher books.” It
then becomes clear
that each person must have one’s own book and not
the books of all
the others. It is also shorter and less awkward
than having
to say “his or her” all
the
time.
mircea_popescu: nubbins`: "And if some high official, such as
the president, says zhe will use gender-neutral pronouns for zher own writing, and ask
that
those writing
to zhim do so also,
that would provide a powerful boost." << conversely, if some hehigh officialman such as
the manpresidentguy fucked a dog^H^H^H bitch
mike_c: ben_vulpes:
that was when I was auctioning off options in channel.
the good old days.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes wouldja be happier if
there was a rng added
to
the vote counts ? :D
mircea_popescu: because
that's
the libertard
thinking, if anyone makes fun of his idiocy
then
therefore
they may no longer exist
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron: probably because
the last
thing i recall doing on github had something
to do with making fun of gender pronouns << certainly.
assbot: Logged on 18-02-2015 14:31:41; danielpbarron: stupid github
thinks i'm not human; i figured gpg
to asswot should be enough proof
ben_vulpes: i kinda stopped watching
the bash when my great bashes all got flushed
assbot: Logged on 18-02-2015 14:19:21; ben_vulpes:
that's like
the second eyeroll i've had cuz of irc in 5 minutes
mircea_popescu: brendafdez: I was wondering if
the Wordpress pingback DDoS is still an issue << it was never fixed.
they just "Refactored"
the code
to preserve all
th bugs but break people's ability
to find
them. someone in
the comment section did
the work and identified
the new form of
the ancient bug.
mircea_popescu: either
this chick has
the most bizarre sense of humor
that also happens
to not
translate well, or else she's insane.
mircea_popescu: brendafdez :I could be running some shady business
there instead... << wut ?!
mircea_popescu: ie, "gotta do all
the running you can just
to stay put"
thing ?
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: evolutionary race
thing
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: either a 'loose lips' or - more likely - ancient disinfo reworked for www <<
that.
mod6: "Stop
that! Get me a latte!"
mircea_popescu: i wonder what
the prices for slaves would look like if
the market was suddenly deluged with 300mn lazy, self entitled, "Consumers have come
to expect" ish people.
mircea_popescu: or if not, we're repossessing all of
the person's 5 billion cars, or whatever, 200 billion ipads.
mircea_popescu: alternatively, one could pay in heads of cattle. fifty billion of
them or so.
mircea_popescu: o, you don't have 50
trn ? fuck you, we're making soap. next.
mircea_popescu: ie, every single us citizen is
to hang for
the debt. himself. personally. for
the whole sum of it, 50
trillion or w/e it is.
nubbins`: might as well blame
the wind. what's
to gain?
nubbins`: blaming
the public is kinda pointless
too
mircea_popescu: and his point is entirely valid : when it comes
to idiocy, blaming obama is pointless. blame
the public.
mircea_popescu: what he is saying is, "you can not give me an unbounded
task and
then expect me
to reason about it. you already set
the
tone as metaphysical by your
task description"
Adlai: note
that in
this case both would
technically be "organic", but one side has
the moral superiority of whatever
the "organic" buzzword stands for
mircea_popescu: decimation: < 'leadership' at its finest << no, he has a point, and it's perhaps
the first
time i've seen obama say something intelligent.
Adlai: !up
thestringpuller
Adlai: "sorry, i prefer
to only have organic sex"
mircea_popescu: spies are worse
than
they ever were in
the history of
the world, with
the exception of 1200.
mircea_popescu: his rise in fact exactly mirrors
this particular economic change, where shitgnomes finally became able
to breach into computing.
mircea_popescu: and im pretty sure
the us had
this
too, even if i wasn't
there
t o witness, for reasons like
the beginning of gate's career, when he was a whiny
turd outcast at computer conventions.
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: when has it ever been easy
to spot a mole?
kakobrekla: Adlai stupid
thread. just wait
till you cant distinguish silicon from flesh.
