undata: fluffypony:
take
the massive discount you're getting on her standard of living and get another pillow
mircea_popescu: eh get out, be
the master you wish
to see in
the world.
fluffypony: I don't - but having
to write
the warning down and get her
to sign it irritates me
ben_vulpes: fluffypony wants
to complain about socialism
mircea_popescu: yeah, srsly. fuck
the act, why do you want
to fire her.
fluffypony: so a written warning should fix
that going forward

that's
the
thing, she didn't know better
mircea_popescu: tbh, i wouldn't fire a 13 a day woman
that fucked up something
through not having a clue.
fluffypony: yeah and we're paying more

the help is cheap :-P
BingoBoingo actually
thnks Micheal Moore circa 2005 was right, anger is mistargeted geographically
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: real question is whether mr o actually drinks

to. <<< fwiw, i also happen
to
think
they're based on popular anger.

trilema and

ben_vulpes: i do
this with walks

the coffee shop
mircea_popescu: fuck, back in
the day if guys didn't hear a "walk with me" for a week or
two straight
they'd start worried
they got fired and everyone forgot
to
tell em.
mircea_popescu: you seriously can't
tell me one walk every coupla weeks is overcommunicating.
mircea_popescu: undata: which runs counter
to
the point of hiring her << fwiw my read is exactly opposite. chick was fine, dude was inept.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: (not a misprint!
there were once intelligent, educated woman programmers in usa. but when

them.
BingoBoingo offers 15lb figure based on an estimation
that anything less
than

mircea_popescu: what if no seaweeds ? what if "seaweeed
tax" introduced ? etc.

taking care of
the small problem, most of your energetic needs aren't "what
to eat") << so seaweed in giant nets?

to do pron.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes i sersiouly see more future for irc

to
the rest of you << so very aptly put.

the Darien as a land route

BingoBoingo reminds now

BingoBoingo thought about moving
thedrinkingrecord.com

the way

to go
to
the pile.
BingoBoingo: ben_vulpes: I grew up in a
town
that is white, but Kraut rather
than Anglo

BingoBoingo: OpenBSD is slowly getting better at
tolerating VMware and Qemu, but devs still primalirly
target Iron

to colo-rack with boxen
BingoBoingo: The "city"
they were in as understood by a poor american is gone, but...
BingoBoingo: Less stuff

kakobrekla: mircea_popescu it just has
to do with
the fact
they are very over provisioned
punkman: ben_vulpes: someone actually emailed *me* about
the deeds site being down << is
the foundation getting fan mail already?
punkman: don't need root, except for binding HTTP server
to :80
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla im kinda against giving any money
to "least effort" sorta providers, because it narrows
the pie for
the legitimate guys. if i want 10 items of which one is rare, i WILL NOT buy
the 10 from any of
the shops
that don't carry
the 10th.
that way
that guy gets some nice business and
the idiots get a valuable signal.
kakobrekla: well its ok if you dont plan
to offend
the idiots. at least
too much.
kakobrekla: this
thing is a ba subdomain, its 'hot'. not for do. needs a different home.
mircea_popescu: i don't care what you use, but it's not online is
the problem.
punkman: mircea_popescu: well someone could further inspect
the supposedly "hacked" instance, can keep using
that

the incoming with
the outgoing
mircea_popescu: punkman so what do you need
to host it ? an aws ? or what ?
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu lol shooting from
the hip
kakobrekla: it could be someone fucked up
the incoming and outgoing
traffic again. would not be
the first
time. not even
the second. probably not even
the
third. in a month.
punkman: mircea_popescu: well
the b/w logs etc supported
the
theory
ben_vulpes: what was
the result of
the hack? flood from your IP?
