mircea_popescu: was there not status in working for 'foreign' firm ? did these not have interview/application processes ? |

mircea_popescu |
these jobs sucked, because foreign firm without exception tried to pay local salaries and demand foreign work. |

a sidenote that came to mind looking at phf's lisp snippet: adding comments to everything for release patches (and alt-genesis) doesn't work so great if you have non-plaintext files. not a problem for trb as it is, but perhaps something to keep in mind. |
| 00:26 |
mircea_popescu |
but no, by and large there was no status there. for middling derps, yes. but not otherwise. |
| 00:27 |
pete_dushenski |
mircea_popescu: ok. so guy wants to improve his station by moving abroad to work for multinational. and he doesn't apply for this job by mailing a few pieces of paper with letters on them, but more importantly with ~numbers~ on them, lending clear incentive to find easy > great teacher in uni ? |
| 00:28 |

the occasional exception being local lion backed by foreign capital, resulting in things like say protv. but very much exceptional, and only capable of existing in specific niches. also, temporary things. |

it's basically a soviet country, just like the russians were. unlike the other soviet union, however, it doesn't fucking know this, goes to bed every night collectively imagining that "start-ups" as implemented there are actual business ; and "stars" as implemented there are examples of successful people. it's really quite amusing. |

any business or in any way EARN any money. |

now replace "i materialize out of the ethers and offer well trained young slave" with "any discretionary expense" and you've got a pretty accurate picture. |

even if he WANTED to, your kid will not be able to support you ; chiefly because he can not have nor can he acquire any money or property. |

note that the few people who actually do atm derive value from it, the mexican narcos, do not bother to replace the federal government, just route around it. |

because it is in fact cheaper to do this than undertake the expense to administer it. |

aha, only done because economics-of-scale, as in, samsung sells not only to crapple |

but when whole thing becomes 1 asic - no need for bga. |
| 11:38 |
mircea_popescu |
yea. hence "normal" chip. |
| 11:38 |
asciilifeform |
but the only 'normal chip' in there is the nand. and possibly the gyro. |
| 11:38 |
asciilifeform |
everything else is custom at least in the metallization layer sense |

so in other words, the results of this discussion are - that apple isn't there yet, but it'd love to pretend like it is, and lazy general usian population / anti-entrepreneurial spirited usian elite will concede the point ot them. |

why don't you say "clearly nobody gives a shit about apple or its products - so few vulnerabilities they can almost chase them all down" |
| 11:49 |
mircea_popescu |
you DID say the exact this re qntra and ddos yest. |
| 11:49 |
mircea_popescu |
why the specific choice ? |
| 11:50 |
asciilifeform |
i admit that my crappleology is a few yrs out of date. |
| 11:50 |
asciilifeform |
perhaps something changed substantially in recent history. |
| 11:50 |
mircea_popescu |
could just as well be presented the other way around, you know ? if you're going to assign good/bad arbitrarily, might as well allign the needle backwards. |
| 11:50 |
asciilifeform |
will have to find out, what. when i can be arsed. |
| 11:51 |
mircea_popescu |
no, this has absolutely nothing to do with any finding out. it is not a matter of fact. |
| 11:51 |
asciilifeform |
hm? |
| 11:51 |
mircea_popescu |
when republican instrument succeeded in keeping enemies at bay, you credited lack of interest on the part of the enemies. |
| 11:51 |
mircea_popescu |
when imperial instrument succeeded in keeping enemies at bay, you credited the exquisite intrinsic superiority of imperial instrument. |
| 11:51 |
mircea_popescu |
you COULD, for the same money, put these in backwards. |
| 11:51 |
mircea_popescu |
it is a purely aesthetic choice. you realise this ? |
| 11:51 |
asciilifeform |
not precisely. re: qntra, i specifically think that the 'they don't exist, don't look there, nothing to see' field generator is operating so well, that they no longer see any need to draw attention with ddos. |
| 11:52 |
mircea_popescu |
going into detail does not change the above. |
| 11:52 |
asciilifeform |
well, i can identify who gives a fuck re: pwning crapple users - 1,000,001 orc carder monkeys, for instance |
| 11:52 |

| 11:53 |

now orc monkeys are not the sharpest tools in the shed, true - have you ~seen~ a trojan of recent vintage? 19/20 are in vb |

and multi-MB. etc |
| 11:54 |
mircea_popescu |
so ? |
| 11:55 |
mircea_popescu |
i suppose the one neutral construction here would be that the larger the item under discussion, the more likely you are to credit ability and the less likely to credit happenstance, on the expectation that size and competency correlate. |
| 11:55 |
mircea_popescu |
still.. a useful judgement of "size" in this particular sense is very hard to come by. |
| 11:55 |
mircea_popescu |
for instance, my own sizeometer judges apple as relatively small. |
| 11:56 |
asciilifeform |
in the same sense as north kr is small. |

note in any case that while the logic is correct, " on the expectation that size and competency correlate", it is NOT the case that what is meant by size is what'd intuitively appear. |

asciilifeform |
this is a hilarious reversal of the old classic thread between asciilifeform and mircea_popescu re: 'programming == webdev' |
| 12:00 |
mircea_popescu |
something intuitively comprehensible as more akin the german-pioneered "tank shadow" item. whereby a unit was represented as a blob function of both its strength/battle readiness and it's mobility. |
| 12:00 |
mircea_popescu |
so a small elite unit was capable of projecting a long shadow whereas a churned to death rifle unit from a siege emplacement was a mere dot. |
| 12:00 |

^ the notion is well-known to city architects, as the concept of car space |

mircea_popescu |
right |

asciilifeform |
(car occupies far more than the size of the parking spot) |
| 12:02 |
mircea_popescu |
sorta like "size in the mind of the strategist". clean, elite units loom large. complex, large elucubrations are barely noted. |
| 12:02 |

The satisfaction that no longer comes from using the commodities produced in abundance is now sought through recognition of their value as commodities. Consumers are filled with religious fervor for the sovereign freedom of commodities whose use has become an end in itself. Waves of enthusiasm for particular products are propagated by all the communications media. [...] Reified people proudly display the proofs of their intimacy with |
| 12:34 |

the commodity. Like the old religious fetishism, with its convulsionary raptures and miraculous cures, the fetishism of commodities generates its own moments of fervent arousal. All this is useful for only one purpose: producing habitual submission. |

quite the point. |

mircea_popescu |
humans are built upon identity. mooman's delusions of humanity are built on the perceived or constructed impossibility of identity. |
