dub: i wouldnt get back to you either
bounce: could be the problem is that these are "social" people, and think nothing of a "white lie"... that IT people tend to see, in their mind's eye, flagged in neon red and yellow, marked "untruth!"
dub: Hi im bounce, I'd liek to be a programmer, or a bullfighter, or an ASTRONAUT!
mircea_popescu: bounce hm, it really shouldn't be that hard.
dub: theres likely to a be a problem right there
bounce: anyway, I stopped talking to recruiters a long time ago. just not worth the hassle.
bounce: something ITish. programming, sysadmin, netadmin, you name it. as long as it involves a unix and not windows. (Oh yes, the "not enough unix on the CV" girl, when half a dozen flavours listed. sheesh.)
mircea_popescu: what were you trying to get anyway ?
bounce: dunno if the scores I contacted, tried to anyway, were all impostors. all in europe, though. all over europe.
mircea_popescu: bounce that may be a numbers game. in a workin economy there's call for maybe 1 worker in 1k ? 10k ? doing hr. in the us like 1/5 of the work force is employed doing that. prima facie your odds are 99.x% of dealing with an impostor.
mircea_popescu: course that's easier in theory than in practice. i know i'm making real efforts to not start hating gays just because these fucktards imagine they can claim it in their doomed but vapid quest for appearing speshul.
bounce: if there's any recruiter in the IT space doing better than that, I haven't seen'em.
mircea_popescu: if tomorrow it becomes fashionable for them to pretend like they're car salesmen, that won't be the #1 reason car salesmen suck
mircea_popescu: than to hr per se.
mircea_popescu: bounce well yes but this speaks more to the "seo expert/web2.0 designer/bitcoin communitard/social expert" crowd of white nigerian kids floating around aimlessly
bounce: or sending a message inquiring about a specific job to a "hi! we're new and exciting!" bunch, never getting an answer but ending up thorougly on their spamlist with their wonderful! new! exciting! candidate matching system. they kept on spamming business intelligence jobs because in the "profile" they'd cooked up for me without permission was "DEBIAN" somewhere. that's how good they were.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: It goes in the evil Librarian CV
mircea_popescu: bounce why would you call them anyway.
bounce: yes, well, not quite the same as being on the phone to some guy, getting fobbed off because you called them and they didn't call you. (literally, yes)
CheckDavid: Man no idea. I think that's illegal.
BingoBoingo: So personal blog just got a referral from Bing for the term "dystopian bingo"
BingoBoingo: CheckDavid: Well sure. Doesn't mean they aren't delicious though. What better way to fight an endangered species than with cornbread stuffing and a pad of butter?
mircea_popescu: i guess i missed a resource pun in there huh
mircea_popescu: bounce all my experiences with hr are under the sheets.
BingoBoingo: CheckDavid: You know, my time could be pushed to the max if something discussed here goes through.
bounce: HR in general is fantastibad at handling candidates. recruiters amazingly aren't better, though it's what they do all day.
BingoBoingo: CheckDavid: At the moment I'm working on getting as extended as I can.
BingoBoingo: At some point their paper requires information that isn't readily googleavle
CheckDavid: By the way. In the meantime would you like to be considered for other possibly similar positions?
BingoBoingo: Last couple weeks at the end of the semester when people need to write all of those paper they put on the backburner.
CheckDavid: Yes there csn
BingoBoingo: Oh, there can be
CheckDavid: Actually that's a cool job.
BingoBoingo: Even though my hitpoints are finite
BingoBoingo: I plan to be around that long.
BingoBoingo: CheckDavid: Thanks
CheckDavid: BingoBoingo: if CoinHR is still around by 2023 we will do our best to get you a position
BingoBoingo: CheckDavid: University wants a librarian working in the reference Department specializing in Bitcoin information resources. Someone will be hiring for that by 2024.
mircea_popescu: i'd watch that.
mircea_popescu: Deanna the Cocksucking Dean and the Mysterious Alien Fanged Pie
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Nah, you hire the cocksuckers as Deans
CheckDavid: BingoBoingo: just for reference. What do you understand by the term BTC librarian?
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo maybe i'm way off the mark here, but if you ran a university wouldn't you hire your own cocksucker as a librarian ?
jurov: ^ not his first time
mircea_popescu: nah, "bitcoin community" is where the disco crowd moved, now that travolta's had his sex change operation.
CheckDavid: punkman: oh really? Is the btc community so big that it is already seen as a bunch of maniacs looks for a quick profit or something?
CheckDavid: You lost me there
mircea_popescu: noun atribute verb complement in response to your inquiry.
CheckDavid: Its kind of the point.
CheckDavid: mircea_popescu: is it bad to be vague?
bounce: you got anything specific in mind, other than starting your own brand new shiny recruitment agency?
mircea_popescu: kinda too vague.
CheckDavid: Any businesses looking to hire or professionals looking for a job in the bitcoin community around here?
mircea_popescu: punkman that may be an idea, actually.
mircea_popescu: punkman you wanna fix this btw ?
mircea_popescu: and figure hey, *SOMEONE* musta verified this
punkman: BingoBoingo: that's what it does now
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo no. private keys. so that lazy people can at least see the input was spent
nubbins`: BingoBoingo that'd be quite the trick
BingoBoingo: Oh I thought Deedbot was using bundle hashes as pub keys and letting privates remain a mystery
mircea_popescu: so there's no way to eschew a little work here.
mircea_popescu: this is why you don't get your certificate from the same party you get the goods.
mircea_popescu: nubbins` your idea is broken because if the site will hash $rand it could as well print the "verification" for it.
nubbins`: my fave IDE is the deedbot website tho
punkman: because I didn't write the verifier script yet
mircea_popescu: copy/paste the code on its github in your fav ide and run it.
nubbins`: because i don't have any tools with which to verify it
mircea_popescu: hanbot holy shit how did you figure that one out ?
nubbins`: mircea_popescu it's inconvenient for me to verify that deedbot has registered my actual deed, instead of, say, $rand
nubbins`: so it doesn't matter how many extra statements the other party created.
nubbins`: luckily, when we shook hands, we both new which btc address was the one we were using
nubbins`: and i'd be able to look at the blockchain and see you prepped a few messages
punkman: same thing
mike_c: i would be able to look at registry and see you prepped a few messages.
nubbins`: how is this different from just registering a few different deeds?
mike_c: i want to prove that in july i said X, but with your method I may have prepped a few brainwallet messages and now be showing you one of them.
hanbot: mike_c, that's a good point!
mike_c: brainwallet method: you could prep 10 slightly different statements and pull out the most convenient one.
hanbot: but it could lie to you.
hanbot: also because it's what happens to be used.
nubbins`: just like deedbot would be convenient, if i could use it to verify that the right address has been generated.
hanbot: nubbins`, why do you use gribble for that matter, you could just sneakernet to nanotube
dignork: why not just verifying btc address equality to deed's hash?
nubbins`: why am i getting a bot to do it for me?
hanbot: a random digit or two or three.
nubbins`: okay. so why don't i just plug the text of my deed into brainwallet.org, and send the money there?
hanbot: mircea_popescu, i guess the trick you're not sharing here is that you'll be adding mining to this later on, huh? ☟︎
hanbot: that nubbins puts a deed there and someone else verifies the hashing (through, i understand, spending the input).
mike_c: the utility is to be able to verify you said something specific in the past.
nubbins`: what, in your mind, is the utility of deedbot?
nubbins`: if i'm doing the work of verifying, i might as well just publish my own fucking deed, no?
nubbins`: yeah. that's what i mean.
hanbot: oh you mean you don't want to actually do the work of verifying and would rather rely on the website's claim?
nubbins`: because there's no easy way for me to verify that the priv/pub keys were, in fact, generated from the text of the deed
nubbins`: as it is right now, i register a deed, some bot sends a few satoshis to an address, and i just sort of hope that this isn't just a random tx
nubbins`: only if you have no idea how to properly give your web server access to sensitive data ;/
nubbins`: a nice companion tool on the deeds website would be a small form w/ textbox and button where one can generate pub/priv keys by the same method
hanbot: kinda cool to have an implementation made to be broken.
nubbins`: ah, i was looking for a bare-bones implementation of this the other day
mircea_popescu: if anyone's looking for how to go key->address, https://github.com/weex/addrgen is probably a good example implementation
