asciilifeform is astonished to regularly , as today, encounter folx who are apparently posting from a timewarp, maybe 1998-99 , where they labour under the delusion that 'why not go into programming, it's a guaranteed and comfortable living' ☟︎

asciilifeform: ( http://btcbase.org/log/2014-01-21#452476 , whole thing worth a read ) ☝︎

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-23#1774662 << exactly this. some people grasp the lesson after reading ; some -- after 1, 2, 3, however many failed corps and debts and 100% wasted productive years of life and etc ☝︎

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-23#1774669 << if you're in usa or europistan, that's a 'staying above water' wage, nobody's retiring on that, 'early' or late or otherwise ☝︎☟︎

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-23#1774654 << if being a 'they are REQUIRED to hire an X' X doesn't turn yer stomach, there are more lucrative usg.bureaucracies than the seekoority racket ☝︎

asciilifeform: aka the newness tax

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i don't buy new cpu , mobo, or cases, it would mean paying the priced-for-usgcorps 'tax'

asciilifeform: and, motherfucker, biffsbets.com . ☟︎

asciilifeform: and deedbot.com ?!!

asciilifeform: and faststudentdebtrelief.com ?

asciilifeform: studentloanhelp.me also him ? ☟︎

asciilifeform: seems to come with a (possibly pseudonymous) 'who'

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: see thread

asciilifeform: i gotta wonder if BingoBoingo made the mistake of mentioning bitcoin within earshot of the vendor

asciilifeform: a circa 2008 box, for >8x what i paid for a dulap-class opteron cum ssd raid

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-23#1774519 << this is brainmeltingly ludicrously overpriced ☝︎

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-23#1774512 << 'zero' button seems to work ☝︎

asciilifeform: ( by same argument, the 'armoredcoin' youtube clip, also cost.. ) ☟︎

asciilifeform: depending on what it was plagiarized from...

asciilifeform: work of fiction in both cases costs ~0 to produce

asciilifeform: at any rate what diff does it make how many zeros in front of sc4mz0r's asking prices

asciilifeform: not to mention attempts to create spurious picture of association with tmsr

asciilifeform: and this other thing also offers 'buy ads here!'

asciilifeform: both cost ~0 to make

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: i fail to see the substantial difference

asciilifeform: perhaps even the http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-18#1772260 one. ☝︎

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: betcha it also operates the various cardanocoins, mpexinfos, bitbetwhateverthefucks

asciilifeform: emmylark: who might you be ?

asciilifeform: !!up emmylark

asciilifeform: the author's failure to show up , is proof of it

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-22#1774420 << as i see it, it's an attempt to 'cardanocoin', i.e. quietly barnacle on tmsr ☝︎
