ben_vulpes: i think vexual has a higher bash score than i
ben_vulpes: i'm not even as funny as a markov chain
BingoBoingo: Vexual is often bashable, often not for his own uttering but for those of others that surround his.
ben_vulpes: it's all in the context
decimation: mircea_popescu: minor nitpick - I don't think USG employees get dental actually: http://www.benefits.gov/benefits/benefit-details/4587 "Dental and Vision benefits are available to eligible Federal and Postal employees, retirees, and their eligible family members on an enrollee-pay-all basis."
assbot: Benefits.gov - Federal Employee Dental and Vision Insurance Program (FEDVIP)
RagnarDanneskjol: its still highly subsidized
decimation: I think health benefits are, but dental and vision are not
decimation: although I think they pay pre-tax money
decimation: I guess if by "subsidized" you mean "group purchase price" then yeah
RagnarDanneskjol: i don't know for certain, just have to use all these benefits comparison resources for work and it appears dental/vision is always heavily discounted for gummint folk. and yes, they get the pretax bennies too

asciilifeform: u.s. civil service folks get benefits package similar to that in any large firm
asciilifeform: proper employees, that is. contractors get zip.
ben_vulpes: plus motherland satisderption
asciilifeform: lol
decimation: asciilifeform: contractors get what their employers offer; generally "getting zip" means buy insurance on your own dime
asciilifeform: decimation: 'insurance on your own dime' generally means something like zip - no group discount
decimation: asciilifeform: yeah that used to be true but these days with obamacare it might be about the same as everyone else, depending on the details
asciilifeform: 'contractor' here means actual contractor, vs. proper full time employees of private firms who bid on federal contracts
decimation: my understanding is that usg pretends that 'contractors' are replacable parts, billable hours are based on 'years of experience and education'
asciilifeform: even today, buying the kind of insurance available for a token fee to civil service folks or employees of large concerns - costs 1-2k usd / month if you do it 'as a human'
decimation: yeah I would buy that. traditionally 'contractors' lard their billable rates to compensate for this burden
asciilifeform: most of the contractors are hired for a fixed salary, agreed on before-hand, as if they were normal employees

asciilifeform: (rather than paid 'piecework', like the customary meaning of 'contractor' in, e.g., the construction trades)
decimation: well, it probably depends on the 'traditional business culture' of the particular branch of government the contractor 'agrees' with
decimation: seems like every piece of usg does things differently
asciilifeform is only familiar with the particular bureaucracy where he once worked

decimation: asciilifeform: what do you use to sort and store your electronics parts? standard little plastic bins?
asciilifeform did ~3 yrs of this type of contracting. a real laugh. didn't even have paid time off.
asciilifeform: decimation: generally, the containers they ship in.
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: i didn't make this bedrock, i just drill through it
decimation: I suspect most actual work at usg is done by contractors anyway
ben_vulpes: decimation: holds true for lotsa places
TheNewDeal: quite true
decimation: if they work for less than a 'living wage', then they are essentially donating their life to usg
decimation: same goes to employees, etc
asciilifeform: on account of the mundane fact that - they are cheaper.
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: cheaper on a dollars/shit done metric maybe - not dollars/hr
asciilifeform: and, unlike many civil service posts, are 'fired at will'
decimation: kinda like you can only rent a miner for more than its expected bitcoin mining return, I suspect most 'employees' of usg work for less than a 'living wage'
decimation: ulterior motives abound, etc
asciilifeform: other little 'secret' - with the exception of 'secret' agencies, a contractor need not be a u.s. citizen.
asciilifeform: of the roughly two dozen staff in my lab, there were, i think, at most two u.s. born folks at any given time.

asciilifeform isn't sure where the notion of 'usg pays starvation wages' comes from.

mike_c: BingoBoingo: doesn't work like is inaccurate? or just that it's a bad idea to begin with.
TheNewDeal: please do expalin bb. I've read the trilema article before
BingoBoingo: It seems like a horribly ineffective way to track ownership of coins or their movement.
TheNewDeal: because?
TheNewDeal: I'm naive here - not sure how blockchain.info runs their taint
BingoBoingo: TheNewDeal: Because of simply the wide variety of shit that gets done with coins.
TheNewDeal: there was an article posted here a while back (it's in the lawgs). It was 2 dudes, one of them for sure had an indian last name
TheNewDeal: they draw a map of transactions in it, and you can see a bunch of silk road addresses off on the side
TheNewDeal: they also claimed to have followed a few large addresses that attempted to bunch and split their coins (not necessarily mix)

asciilifeform like probably everyone else, contemplated the mathematical curio of a 'panic key' that irreversibly destroys coin (in a hypothetical 'btc 2.0' apparatus, naturally)
