mircea_popescu: no. inasmuch as *elsewhere* can tell.
asciilifeform: in as much as he too would rather be elsewhere - aye
mircea_popescu: the difference between a goat and a goat herder is certainly not apparent to any passing lady of society.
mircea_popescu: only for as long as the concept that "people can have ideas" and "tim swhatever knows hopw normal debates work"
asciilifeform: though, strictly speaking there are two activities (the other being that of the meatpuppeteer, of course)
thestringpuller: there will always be mechanical turks
asciilifeform: ^ the activity shown in the chinese photo, in particular, yes.
mircea_popescu: in a world made out of equal idiots who don't have gpg sigs, THAT is the only possible human activity.

PeterL: thestringpuller: It seems to be misbehaving since I added your blog?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: that just looks like an ordinary day at the dentist's.
BingoBoingo: Birches out here. My concern though was perhaps a tree with decent Urushiol content like cashew.

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: birch works too

danielpbarron: will be the last "smart" phone i ever buy (also happens to have been the first)
cazalla: asciilifeform, the sound of breaking glass is actually quite soothing
asciilifeform wonders if he's the only fella here who has never rage-smashed a keyboard, pNohe, pNablet, ..., etc
cazalla: asciilifeform, the why doesn't really matter.. lesson here is not to have 2fa on device you often have with you if prone to smashing things
asciilifeform: cazalla: for our edification, care to describe the burst of anger ?
cazalla: an utter absolute shit morning, sometimes it would be nice to be a shut in hermit with nobody with 10km
asciilifeform: jurov: eagle eyes, ty
cazalla: smashed my iphone in a burst of anger so.. no more apple products here (ipad already went out the window)
cazalla: thestringpuller, i just sat down then so need to catch up on logs etc
thestringpuller: cazalla: I guess we should discuss potential article from findings if this goes through.
jurov: linux-unwind.h:138: error: field 'info' has incomplete type << asciilifeform haven't you missed this? (from gnat.txt)
jurov: i think i can take it, if paid. hence, how much?
jurov: aaaahh i saw "renewal fee" and it clicked.. apparently they plan to make bitcoin obsolete after 2 years?
jurov: "Duration: 2 years" (from the CBP link) how do i parse this?
jurov: internals of bitcoind? like, the whip out the cane, point to line test?
thestringpuller: my biggest hesitation is the coin goes directly into the waterfall i.e. hands of enemy
asciilifeform: thestringpuller was probably thinking of their other exam, re: internals of bitcoind, but iirc it is only available to the select few
thestringpuller: cause he is guaranteed to pass it. i guess others too. but he was the first that came to mind.
asciilifeform: thestringpuller: try one of the un/under-employed folks around here
asciilifeform: thestringpuller: it is unlikely that anyone would wish to pay what this costs.
asciilifeform: re: gentoo: is it just me or did most of the ports mirrors die in the past 2 or so weeks ?
thestringpuller: so qntra can report on the derpage?
asciilifeform: thestringpuller: what'd be the point of this exercise ?
thestringpuller: asciilifeform: random question. If someone paid for you to take Buterin's C4 (Certified Bitcoin Professional) exam, would you do it? ☟︎
