asciilifeform: ford, carnegie, et. al. worked at a tech level where perfectly-legit products required battalions of semi-skilled labourers
mircea_popescu: well, you know the joke with the sinking boat ?
asciilifeform: 'good soldiers' - sure. but they're serving in an 'army' whose sole purpose appears to be 'painting the grass green.'
asciilifeform: if so, they're sucking a titanic phantom cock that never shoots its load
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i suspect the bulk of they shipped in are "luxury workers", which is to say cocksuckers.
mircea_popescu: has entirely nothing to do with technology, as tardpedia emptily claims.
asciilifeform: true, but not entirely connected to the h1b thing:
mircea_popescu: once that was no longer the approach, the us was no longer noteworthy.
mircea_popescu: back when shooting artillery upon the strikers was the publicly acceptable approach, ford and carnegie could dominate whole industries, and build the capital that's still to this day supporting us spending, that "full faith and credit".
mircea_popescu: because france had a king and italy did not, it was able to import glassworks from france (and silk from china) and become a major producer, running it out of the market.
mircea_popescu: the case study for this is renaissance france.
asciilifeform: scrap gravity a hundred times, rocket somehow did not get the memo
asciilifeform: i'm just not seeing the 'scrapped hierarchy' thing
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you can't maintain intellectual dominance without political dominance, you can't maintain political dominance without social hierarchy. the us decided to scrap hierarchy. of fucking course it can no longer have intelligent people working in its workshops, whatever they may be.
asciilifeform: see also 'deskilling.' (actual term of art)
asciilifeform: h1b engineers << afaik none of the folks who specialize in whining on the subject have publicly written re: how the particular kind of 'engineering' now popular in usa and its colonies makes the use of coolie labour not only possible, but mandatory.
jurov: still not going through... brb later

jurov: i just found bug that has bit ben_vulpes, he was the first one who sent message from email actually matching his gpg pubkey :)
jurov: if you send signed message as described, ti should appear even without registration
jurov: is there anyone around who can test btc-dev mailing list around CET working time?
jurov: sigh...you yanks and canucks insist to test only when i am afk
mircea_popescu: decimation: well, there's little doubt in my mind that the reason h1b visas are 'tech' targeted is because engineers have the least political pull in the us <<< they happen to be the only people who have an actual something to do, and so aren't quite as motivated to politics by the gnawing existential void that pushes the paper pushers.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo:. << Generally the way this work in US [...] << yup, exactly that.
bounce: where'd that come from?
mircea_popescu: lol so pankkake got butthurt because we don't like systemd, decided bitcoin "wouldn't have worked anyway" ? that's some pretty good fatlogic right there.

ninjashogun: Hi. I was informed some people from here were talkiing shit about me? I don't have any interaction with this channel (and haven't for months) - if you have any specific complaints (or areas for room for improvement in the future) you can tell me. My reading is that this is a very low-signal troll community. (For example, cazalla's rating of my on WoT is after he gave me an Australian police department's number, not his own. Asciil
asciilifeform: because wtf else to buy.
