benkay: lol MarieLynn your website has an obama quote? is that...are you...what even ams, yo
asciilifeform: let them confiscate hot reactor.
mircea_popescu: because your cooling is endangering the spotted ice shrimp
mircea_popescu: up until some derps come to confiscate your cattle
asciilifeform: almost certainly good ROI though if you factor cooling.
mircea_popescu: bounce yeah, something like that, perhaps.
asciilifeform: average american will not be hosting in the klondike, agreed.

mircea_popescu: how do you find them again if they float ?
asciilifeform: i bet they float just fine.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform so your dc sinks ten feet each summer ?
asciilifeform: you can get machine racks in shipping containers. drop them straight on the snow, connect to power plant, put a bit of concertina wire around.
mircea_popescu: tbh i was expecting something more along the lines of "wtf is a synthetic"
mircea_popescu: lol ty.
MarieLynn: I shall never use it again in your presence then
mircea_popescu: MarieLynn arbitrage is the buying and selling of the same one asset (either natural or synthetic) in different markets that are divergent. so in order to arbitrage skills, you'd have to first buy them. skills aren't commodities however, and so this "arbitrage your skills" is just hipster talk.
asciilifeform: 'yeah we're short on cabling, the men delivering had to shoot their dogs'
MarieLynn: My boyfriend beats people up for a living but there are few people in Montreal who are tough enough for his classes.
asciilifeform: or the very same miners.
fluffypony: "Tradefortress has no room to bash anyone else besides Karpeles, Pirate, or maybe Mr. NEOBEE, Danny Brewster. Everyone else, small-time scammers included, would be better company at this point."

MarieLynn: My other friend in Saskatchewan says construction workers are impossible to find because the mines pay too high :)
asciilifeform: gotta be a fag to man an oil rig << it's not a nuke sub. they rotate the crew occasionally.
pankkake: so it's like an union thing
mircea_popescu: pankkake i hear you gotta be a fag to man an oil rig.
asciilifeform: dealing in redditronics ought to earn a hazard pay, like soviet workers in the far north
mircea_popescu: MarieLynn mno. that's getting a good remote job.
MarieLynn: You keep living in a cheap place a reap the benefits of working in a place where they pay more for talent.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform not for doing stuff on reddit tho
asciilifeform: note that, e.g. oil rig men get $200K+
mircea_popescu: uh. what do you think arbitrage means ?
MarieLynn: Nice opportunity to arbitrage your skills when you live in a super cheap place!
MarieLynn: Nope The position is anywhere.
mircea_popescu: ;;later tell cgcardona http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=02-05-2014#656509 ☝︎
MarieLynn: <+mircea_popescu> I will quote you on this when I talk about bitcoin
pankkake: it's easy to be a Ruby dev. you just need a macbook and a fedora
mircea_popescu: MarieLynn so, that. the one thing that does more than everything else all humans ever did in the entire history of life on earth.
mircea_popescu: maybe the bunion accountant has no business in physics, nuclear or otherwise, and the thing ain't an university in any sense.
mircea_popescu: what's that indicate to you ? i mean sure, great men can be eccentric.
mircea_popescu: there's more to it asciilifeform. suppose you visit this university, which wants you to take it seriously. in it, the head of nuclear physics is hard at work making an inventory of... his bunions.
asciilifeform: cargo cult, too. fat lot of good it will do for the idiots.
asciilifeform: this decimal point crap is a mega-lol. they can't inflate, so... let's move decimal. like in a banana republic, or '90s russia.
mircea_popescu: back when benkay was liek... correcting my math. how's this benkay baby! six months fixed my broked math.
MarieLynn: <+mircea_popescu> what is the world's most important project ? (re: 18:06)

mircea_popescu: time to rehash the sad story of von flondor.
ozbot: Georg Ritter von Flondor, and what his unhappy life can teach us pe Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Pope
