punkman: ben_vulpes, you don'
t need to mess with genetics, just use them as biomass, feed into machine

t you have to do abhorrent things to their genetics to get them to poop diesel? i'm just talking about rendering the grass/beans into alcohols i think.

bounce: ran into a slightly larger quote somewhere; haven'
t read more than that
RagnarDanneskjol: how does a manager locate talent? i still don'
t understand. it is a full-time job sourcing for any given position.. doing a thourough targeted search. unless the job reqs are fairly loose.
Azelphur: I didn'
t know putting random crap on github was standing out, but ok o.O
bounce: IME the staffing agencies that claim to specialise in IT recruiting are possibly worse than generic agencies. claim to know their shit then don'
t.
ben_vulpes: if you're growing a dev team and your devs aren'
t actively bringing in their friends, you're doing it entirely incorrectly.
bounce: how else? by getting pulled in by someone, or by bumping into the (technically savvy) owner of the shop, something like that. the key is to talk to someone who knows about the job, not the "specialist" who doesn'
t know word from writer.
bounce: don'
t forget the completely dysfunctional and often insane "matching", selecting on completely irrelevant criteria, and obvious, screaming lies by the bucketload.
RagnarDanneskjol: guess I wasn'
t really looking for a useful answer. just being provocative I suppose

t look it in any case.
mircea_popescu: guy doesn'
t seem motivated by anything but the usual driver of reality show attendants.

t. pakistani terrorism and so forth
pete_dushenski_: i imagine i don'
t have any parts of europe to add to that list.
pete_dushenski_ wonders what other corners of the world he's explored that mircea_popescu hasn'
t.
mircea_popescu: "don'
t worry about not being on the pill, honey. i got a yellow contraceptor."
decimation: a bit wobbly as a ruler don'
t you think?
mircea_popescu: "her tits aren'
t really that much bigger, it's the light."
decimation: you know what orwell missed was that you didn'
t really need "Big Brother" to convince everyone that the digits/zinc is worth anything - you just need 'the people' to have a 'stake' in the success of the graft and they will 'big brother' themselves
mircea_popescu: don'
t go all lyrical & philosophical on people now. you got oyur blogs for that. stick to facts and practice good journalism
mircea_popescu: specifically : when dealing with an item, trying harder is for when things work, and trying something else when things don'
t work.
pete_dushenski_: strp: no thanks, thickasthieves. I don'
t have to justify talking with anyone else I talk with. << classic wilyotp (walk in like you own the place). gotta love the endless supply of such thinking.
pete_dushenski_: mircea_popescu: v. good point about the shaw thing. i'm logging on from a different comp and i don'
t quite have the flow sorted on this one.

t as much the per se combustibility, more like, all the evil shit sandwiched in there

t even have the spec for.
Dimsler: problem with being a scientifist in todays modern age is you aren'
t working from home
Dimsler: i don'
t know a single non-american doctor who isn'
t miserable
bounce: plenty scientists have done so on sufferance of the local lord, no reason why they couldn'
t do it on sufferance of the government
mircea_popescu: this seems obvious enough with say, love. people who hope to earn a living at it can'
t really make very good lovers.
mircea_popescu: they can;'

gribble: Error: User doesn'
t exist in the Rating or GPG databases. User must be GPG-registered to receive ratings.
mircea_popescu: but seriously, this derp can'
t stand for middle anything.
Dimsler: i can'
t read american publications
mircea_popescu: "If Kentuckians write-in Robert Ransdell as their choice for Senator in the 2014 election they will support my plan to fix America by pursuing the ..." bla bla bla. write-in candidates for kentucky elections ?! holy shit, it's almost as if... i dunno, my similes fail me. i don'
t have something for this nonsense.
mircea_popescu: decimation unless he's married, he doesn'
t actually have to ever work in the us. you know this, right ?
Dimsler: i could probably argue that humanity would be far better off if they hadn'
t invented the wheel
DanielKrawisz: Then there were some proposals for digital collectibles; b-money, RPOW, and bit gold. Those things were an important step forward, but RPOW was the only one ever implemented, and it didn'
t take off. I don'
t think they would have worked. Bitcoin fixed a lot of stuff that they got wrong.
Dimsler: DanielKrawisz, can you write about how satoshi didn'
t understand economics and based his theory on murray rothbards teachings
mircea_popescu: i dunno, it doesn'
t get me. it doesn'
t have bit into it.
mircea_popescu: <Dimsler> seriously are you going to be preaching the satoshibible here? <<< unlike 99% of the derps derping about bitcoin, i don'
t recall these folks saying anything infuriatingly stupid.
DanielKrawisz: Yeah, I think reddit doesn'
t quite understand what they're doing.
DanielKrawisz: And then we were like, "Wouldn'
t it be hilarious if we started the Satoshi Nakamoto Institute?" for a while and then we stopped making jokes about it and just did it.
DanielKrawisz: I don'
t understand IRC very well. I'm trying to get into the WOT.
nubbins`: well i don'
t really have an s.nsa stock warrant sitting idle
BingoBoingo: One can'
t exactly oversee entropy in the same way one oversaw order on the plantations
BingoBoingo: decimation: Nah, maybe I just want to see the world burn? I've got a camera. I've got a tent. By oversee I don'
t mean taking control, but documenting the absence of control for great lulz.
mircea_popescu: o, no, he's got to be an independent fucktard, doing nothing for 20 years and then wondering why the state isn'
t taking care of his asthma.
mircea_popescu: couldn'
t be in here, doing honest, useful work and building himself in the process.
mircea_popescu: they gotta go to a special school to be this untimely stupid, it just can'
t occur naturally.
The20YearIRCloud: I can'
t remember, it was a guitar hero clone that was exclusively for facebook, and was controlled by your keyboard

t much to go around.
mircea_popescu: davidlatapie i have nfi idea what monero is because in spite of being invited fluffypony doesn'
t want to give the group a presentation. the comment is just as to the improbable nature of the name. why mew and what's someone not in on the jokes to make of it.
☟︎ assbot: Logged on 02-10-2014 20:12:02; asciilifeform: re: usb diddling: i had the entire thing working two years ago, with same 'phison', likewise cribbed russian docs. didn'
t think it was interesting to anyone other than me.

t voice you because i didn'
t realise you're not voiced.
mircea_popescu: davidlatapie i didn'
t manage to get that one. come again ?
davidlatapie: mircea_popescu: Well, this is what happens when one wants to join interesting conversation and can'
t accept to just let it go because he doesn'
t have time to answer. So yeah, watching pies flying
strp: no thanks, thickasthieves. I don'
t have to justify talking with anyone else I talk with.
strp: if you guys don'
t prefer to scam today I can share the email I got from the ethereum investor, in wihch he talked aobut some of his returns. (removing his name.)
strp: mircea_popescu, well, I was connected with a guy who I think made heavy coin on ethereum. I didn'
t verify.
strp: thickasthieves, if (as anyone normal) you would prefer to do it privately you can also PM me an introduction. I don'
t know anything about you other than that you hang out in -assets and were recomended as responsible and level-headed.
strp: thickasthieves, anyway you said I was wrong that you owuldn'
t like to introduce yourself in a public, logged channel. So, go ahead.

t think him an idiot that argument may hold more value.
strp: dub, if you weren'
t trolling --- you would have a lot more luck getting Sam Altman (the current YC president) in here. He has taken a HUGE liking to crypto currencies.
mircea_popescu: mats_cd03: IS ANYTHING ON THE INTERNET REAL << wasn'
t there a snopes debunk about this urban legend where someone supposedly asked once if things on the internet are real ?
strp: I don'
t know anything about you, and I'd assume you wouldn'
t want to discuss it in a logged forum. It is difficult to have an uknnown as a business partner without sharing anything, don'
t you think?
strp: thickasthieves, I understand this but I came in here at your request. This can hardly be called spamming. If you don'
t like my suggestion, just say so. :)
strp: I don'
t know why I got voice in here. I'd written, hey. you got recommended as level headed and responsible. do you want an ambitoius, impuslive, capricious, mercurial, expansive partner?
