undata: amazing how you lose sense of
the smell
decimation: yeah, in
the old west where
trees were lacking, cow shit was firewood
mircea_popescu: im kinda curious what comes of
the ben_vulpes - mod6 pairing in
this vein.
decimation: asciilifeform: for myself, I find working with an engage colleague
to be much more motivating
than a boss yelling
mircea_popescu: should
that actually happen,
teenager would run and hide in a corner.
undata: I
think plenty more subconsciously know
the same, and are hiding in distractions
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
tell you what :
teenager is used
to seeing girls in his class dressed, imagines he'd ben efit from
the removal of
the clothes.
undata: decimation: having been convinced
that
the walls of my country are going
to fall in, I've got all
the motivation I need
mircea_popescu: decimation sure, great. no complaints may
then be entertained about needing stuff
tho.
mircea_popescu: even
today i have plenty of handcrankled
tasks for
the aspiring slavegirl. never a shortage of
that. what's of shortage is
teh ppl
to disciplinedly work, erry day, hour after hour.
mircea_popescu: many people are used
to micromanagement, under relentless pressure from a pointless class
that wants
to justify its existence
mircea_popescu: part of
the problem is,
the internet (and esp my stuff) is very self-directed
mircea_popescu: i
tried
to onlinehire her but for some reason she lacked
the drive or w/e.
mircea_popescu: and since you mentioned moiety, from what i understood
that was exactly her position.
mircea_popescu: im sure
the various "give us 1 btc or else !!1" kids were in exactly
this position.
mircea_popescu: to restate : if you rent's due and you're short you should not be here chatting, you should be putting out
that fire.
mircea_popescu: then maybe one day
the kid gets
to
the point where he even has
the freedom
to consider wtf he's doing. further degree.
mircea_popescu: some guys work
three jobs
to
try and get
the kid in school where he can work in a sv startup.
this is a degree of improvement.
mircea_popescu: so
there are degrees. yes, everyone in
the bezzle is in
the bezzle.
mircea_popescu: for some chicks,
the fact
that how
the shot does a cheese dispenser work ?! is a more pressing question.
mircea_popescu: so, degrees. for most chicks,
the cheese dispensed by
the cheese dispenser is all
there is.
mircea_popescu: put it another way : if i didn't
think
the .1 is
the smaller half, i wouldn't be giving it out in
the first place.
assbot: Internet story pe
Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
mircea_popescu: well,
the .1 ain't, in my mind,
the actual larger half.
mircea_popescu: one explanation,
that persuades me, it's because
they dun have
the
time
to. because
they gotta work.
mircea_popescu: consider
the case of
the various chicks
that came
to show
their
tits for .1 btc
cazalla: this fkn conference i'm streaming.. "cold storage is out dated, it's about multisig now".. where do you see bitcoin in 20 years
time? "something like email where you can instantly send value over
the internet"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i do not exactly believe b-a is intended for
the workaday people. << do elaborate. should all of us but you & kako pack up? or some other
thing implied << well, i know you self-motivate by refusing
to see some degrees, but
there are some degrees.
mircea_popescu: this would seem
to sane minds
the only way
to close, but
then it "took
too long", so...
mircea_popescu: no no, bitcoin itself can close in such a way so as
to not leave its own state crud crudely saved
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: decimation: but at one point exhausted ram, but blockchain remained wedged upon restart <<< speaking of
this,
there's an option
to close with detached bdb
decimation: I might
try 'funtoo' if he is serious about no systemd
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: as in, physically go places and do
things << dunkin donuts ?
undata: asciilifeform: ah!
then you have every right
to hate it.
undata: asciilifeform: I'm surprised you don't like gentoo, given you
tend
to advocate actually knowing what your computer's doing, and why
decimation: many folks
trying
to get low latency ditch it
decimation: the vga console code on linux still sucks after all
these years
decimation: no I mean no video card, serial
tty only
decimation: purists avoid 'vga' console for serial
term
mircea_popescu: problem is, yoyu get
them on ubuntu, next you know
they
think it's windows and update
undata: I don't do any more work administrating mine
than debian.
mircea_popescu: anyway, i suppose
the "so ssh
then" only works for people who youi knw, actually own multiple computers
mircea_popescu: not as in, well
the hdd's wiped and
the bios randomly rewired
mircea_popescu: but i mean... rendered unusalbe as in you can't get a
terminal on your monitor
decimation: but for
that reason most contractors are reluctant
to 'donate'
their hardware in such a way
decimation: asciilifeform: I
think it depends if
there was anything 'secret' on
the drive - in
that case it probably must be destroyed
decimation: I know
that
there are many scavengers who survive on reselling usg surplus
decimation: do you have a favorite 'junk dealer' in
the dc area?
decimation: imagine
the mind of
the 'interviewee': surely usg wouldn't spend bezzlars on
those fine knobs if
this wasn't serious business
decimation: yeah only someone attending
to 'serious business' would have a setup like
that
decimation: you should have bought it for
the rotary switches
