mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-29#1875978 << fuck sunlight, i spent hours in the tropically warm bay waters slutwrestling, i am so burned i'm peeling. ☝︎☟︎
mircea_popescu: what the fuck do they do now, cross jews and hares ?!
mircea_popescu: meanwhile in totally unrelated news, https://dod.defense.gov/About/Biographies/Biography-View/Article/1281505/ellen-m-lord/ ☟︎
asciilifeform: ( is there a prb plugin for excel yet ?1 )
asciilifeform: i have nfi what they get, for all i know 'wall street' is 100% microshit-excel powered even now.
mircea_popescu: iirc i reviewed a typical example.
mircea_popescu: considering the shit they get...
asciilifeform: those folx do occasionally pay for software to be written, but the work (perhaps deservingly) is ranked as janitorial and paid accordingly (esp. given where the grunts are to live)
asciilifeform for most part innocent of that racket, has nuffin to add re subj
mircea_popescu: back in the days of pam grier's youth, her brother going "i'm black. i don't dance. i don't athlete. i don't sing. wtf should i do ?!" was kind-of a joke. now though...
mircea_popescu: the work-on-wallstreet is rather visible a collegiate track, sorta like "nigger".
asciilifeform: they hire 'the scum we have, not the scum we wish we had'(tm)
mircea_popescu: esp the sort of scum they hire.
asciilifeform: and makes sense that 'partying at approved place', otherwise grunt could party at who-knows, maybe run mouth..
mircea_popescu: i meant re the bottle. your "boss" will take you "partying" at approved venues etc.
asciilifeform: fit this description, that is
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: by my reckoning, ~90% of the software worx in usa ( just about all of remainder being -- direct usgisms )
a111: Logged on 2018-11-29 17:00 asciilifeform: Mocky: i've even worked in a salt mine where the bottle was Officially (i shit thee not) issued, erry friday at noon.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-29#1875967 <<< most of wall street works like this, actually. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: led to the usual symptoms of imperial decay -- monetization of real estate (a bad idea throughout, even if it repatriated the money japs made selling toyotas/sinking detroit in the 70s -- sorta like arsenic is bad for you even if it "keeps syphilis inactive" and so on) ; the star model driving and being driven by the fashion cycle, and so the fuck on. ☟︎
a111: Logged on 2018-11-29 16:48 Mocky: i'm convinced this whole ecosystem of outside recruiters is 100% byproduct of startup "investing" that props up the illusion of "high growth" companies that burn thru cash by hiring people so they will qualify for more money
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-29#1875964 << quite exactly. you ever read http://trilema.com/2015/you-know-what-gets-no-airplay-unflattering-truth/ ? there's a complex GRP-like system that folded the us economy, and yes the red hot core was mis"investing". ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2018-11-29 16:43 Mocky: this is why i worked for the same company for 14 years, i hate this shit. but also what made me soft target for their betrayal
mircea_popescu: the problem with a country consisting of doing-other-people's-laundry expects is that... well...
a111: Logged on 2018-11-29 16:42 Mocky: so many damn recruiters. they're like mosquitos in a swamp. they all want to 'have a call' and then 'a skype' 'see if you'll be a good fit'. ugh. two years out of college with a degree in hr, you're gonna decide if i'm worthy to be submitted for a job, and then pressure me to take low ball offer.
mircea_popescu: was pretty lulzy, typical-to-TV-altreality new york "contractor", "well... we'll have to put 8 men on it in three shifts... that's 54876983769287563984798634... and then..."
a111: Logged on 2018-11-29 15:07 asciilifeform: ( and iirc, the cost is in fact ~open-ended~, and is proportionate to how many hours the pinkertons actually feel like sinking into particular d00d )
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-29#1875954 << whole shitshow runs like that, "open ended", to make the most of "moneyed". i recall back when i was looking at shooting lawsky imbecile in the head, had brief discussion with "legitimate" new york "detective agency". ☝︎
asciilifeform: oh hey guten tag mircea_popescu
a111: Logged on 2018-11-29 16:17 Mocky: looks like Roger Ver's bitcoin.com is looking for java and js developers for their mining team http://archive.is/MlomS
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-29#1875956 << in similar news, there's a gautier, mississippi. ☝︎
Mocky: as long as I still had kids at home, never tried to get out
asciilifeform: and (at least in asciilifeform's observation) the competent engineer types get to bottle ~sooner~ than the chair warmers. ☟︎
asciilifeform: some folx get to the bottle after 20yrs in workschwitz and cowardice, some after 1,2,3,4 attempts to break out, end result same
asciilifeform: ( another great way to lose shirt is 'start company , try to sell useful product ' , a+++ worxxx )
asciilifeform: reich is set up to ensure that this happens with clockwork regularity to ~erry worker bee.
asciilifeform: it dun even matter so much what the supposed 'savings' are denominated in -- eventually you're out of work and they get wiped.
a111: Logged on 2016-11-29 02:36 asciilifeform: there was iirc something about how an economic landscape stable enough for 'savings' is an ephemeral and quite unnatural thing, rather like billiard table
asciilifeform: Mocky: to a 1st approximation, 'saving' in the reich dun actually work, see e.g. http://btcbase.org/log/2018-08-23#1843888 , http://btcbase.org/log/2017-06-05#1666161 , http://btcbase.org/log/2016-11-29#1574483 , elsewhere. ☝︎☝︎☝︎
BingoBoingo: https://www.elobservador.com.uy/nota/-como-estan-hoy-los-precios-para-alquilar-en-la-temporada-de-verano--2018101920160 << Argentina's pesos falls, but the attempted controlled descent taking Uruguay's peso down is "The dollar strengthening"
asciilifeform: arguably it is better to be '100% theoretical' and have 'workshop' that fits in briefcase, as e.g. phf does
Mocky: in truth i do feel like idjit for being old man without the brains to have saved anything. i don't even have a workshop full of shit like asciilifeform ☟︎☟︎☟︎
asciilifeform: it's unfortunate that mircea_popescu is asleep right nao, otherwise he could tell us about how we're idjits and how working for living is for lusers, and how troo hero can run on sunlight and do as he pleases ☟︎
Mocky: I interviewed with a job once that offered "unlimited paid time off" but inside reports were that anyone who tried to use was instantly on the shit list
asciilifeform: ( and only even existed on paper in west coast sv shitholes; where stipulation was 'IF you've shat out your quota before friday', which typically is approx as likely as in gulag in 1950 )
Mocky: haven't seen it with my own eyes, even then
asciilifeform: afaik this went away with the 1st 'dotcom' hysteria
Mocky: reminds me of "20% time", "work on your own projects on friday since we know you'll be doing that anyway"
a111: Logged on 2018-11-28 22:46 asciilifeform: ( d00d had pretty good gig: opened safe in the morning, closed in evening, and played 'wow' all day... )
asciilifeform: srsly there was a bar, of sorts, built in, on the grounds
asciilifeform: 'happy time'
asciilifeform: Mocky: i've even worked in a salt mine where the bottle was Officially (i shit thee not) issued, erry friday at noon. ☟︎
Mocky: the only activity in life that makes me understand why people turn to the bottle
Mocky: i'm convinced this whole ecosystem of outside recruiters is 100% byproduct of startup "investing" that props up the illusion of "high growth" companies that burn thru cash by hiring people so they will qualify for more money ☟︎

a111: Logged on 2018-11-20 03:38 mircea_popescu: i have nfi, it's pretty fucking lulzy though. i mean, there's a long list of these defeateds by "fate", but he's one of the most hysterically humiliated humbugs.
Mocky: looks like Roger Ver's bitcoin.com is looking for java and js developers for their mining team http://archive.is/MlomS ☟︎
asciilifeform: traditionally, folx who show symptoms of being able to survive outside of the reich, disqualified.
asciilifeform: ( and iirc, the cost is in fact ~open-ended~, and is proportionate to how many hours the pinkertons actually feel like sinking into particular d00d ) ☟︎
a111: Logged on 2018-11-29 06:09 mircea_popescu: incidentally, the whole usg "clearance" wank narrowly mirrors the quatari "sponsorhip employment" wank.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-29#1875928 << it does indeed ; usg ministry of whateverthefuck in fact charges corp 20-30k $ for the privilege of having a new d00d pierced into secre-pederasty ☝︎
asciilifeform: presumably they've introduced some new demented syntax for integer divides ? i have nfi, and could not be arsed to find out.
a111: Logged on 2018-11-29 06:10 a111: Logged on 2018-11-29 01:07 Mocky: "must be open sores contributor, love python 3" what's next? "line cook, must love toasters with cancel buttons"
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-29#1875930 << hilariously, i recently tried to run a simple numeric proggy on a box infested with python3 , and found that it utterly breaks the numeric stack : once you do e.g. x = x / 3 you can no longer e.g. x >> 1 -- because the / converted it to 'float' ! holy mother of fuck. ☝︎
asciilifeform: spyked: if you're interested in arm64ifying cuntoo, i recommend to begin with rk.
asciilifeform: presently, cuntoo won't run there (even if trinque's process can be coaxed into building arm64 bins) cuz it has no way of blessing the kernel. ☟︎
asciilifeform: then and only then , c101pa will turn into an item like rk, where you can operate strictly with self-built contents
asciilifeform: it's a solvable, of course, problem , theoretically 100% of the iron init coad is published . but somebody would have to put in the sweat to port it into e.g. stock uboot.
a111: Logged on 2018-09-08 19:07 asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-09-08#1848650 << update : flashing in the uboot with the dram turd from vendor fw, did nothing detectable
asciilifeform: ( and yes google's loader ~will~ load custom kernels, but only if you sign'em with their tool, so then gotta keep whole shitchain around )
asciilifeform: iirc phf did turn his c101pa into ~some~ form of usable
a111: Logged on 2018-11-29 13:35 spyked: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-27#1875503 <-- /me ordered a c101pa from shitazon recently, will make prime target for cuntoo testing.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-29#1875935 << last i knew , there were still a coupla open problems re actually using that box ( in particular, i did not yet succeed, and presently haven't the time to continue, in baking a bootloader for it that loads non-googlistic kernels ) ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2018-11-27 19:12 mircea_popescu: i imagine that'll be spyked's next thing, bot-driven vtrees mirror service.
spyked: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-27#1875439 <-- this has been on my mind after seeing http://trilema.com/2018/this-gns-thing/#selection-317.47-317.193 . the next immediate step in my queue after publishing rss bot vpatches will be to look at automating communication with deedbot. ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2018-11-27 19:51 mircea_popescu shall buy a lappy just to try trinque's thing on!

spyked: re pm feeds: if no one objects to this, just gpg me a list of the feeds and the recipients and I'll add them manually.
a111: Logged on 2018-11-27 14:38 trinque: spyked: point is a simple "hey trinque, lets make the swap at $date, and get the PM subscriptions ported over meanwhile"
spyked: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-27#1875118 <-- point well taken. my schedule is still a bit erratic at the moment, so what do you think about making the switch on monday (3rd dec)? I'll be tuned in starting cca 6pm utc. ☝︎

mircea_popescu: along with a toothpick factory.
a111: Logged on 2018-11-28 22:17 Mocky: so many of the jobs out there want secret government clearance now, jeez. who do they think they are kidding with their super secret shit
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-28#1875895 << all that's left of the us pretense to an economy is government wankolade. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: Mocky these schmucks i swear...
BingoBoingo: I miss the belt fed toaster from my first place of employment
Mocky: "must be open sores contributor, love python 3" what's next? "line cook, must love toasters with cancel buttons" ☟︎
Mocky: blockchain engineer is a job title now?
BingoBoingo: Anyways, let me know if anyone or anything that should be in the sidebar is missing
BingoBoingo: Nah, I think I forgot to ping trinque that my blog rebuilt completed with success
asciilifeform: lol is the actual bot down??
a111: Logged on 2018-11-28 01:31 mircea_popescu: i never heard before of some guy who CAN live independently, moving to rural shithole to not be bothered, and then having ~same to show for a year of his life as mod6. at least that dood is holding down a job and a coupla kids meanwhile.
asciilifeform would luvv to http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-28#1875656 and never answer pnojes again, but not in the cards yet ☝︎
asciilifeform: Mocky: funnily enuff, they dun always bother to mention. i get spam calls erry week, where d00d pitches 'x,y,z,exactly what you do,come work for us' 'ts/sci ?' 'of course' ~click~
asciilifeform: ( spam did not see it fit to mention what, precisely, happens if you sell it for 5cents... lightning strikes ? )
asciilifeform: meanwhile in spam traps : 'usd coin! buy and sell for $1.00, where supported'
