10:04 asciilifeform 'novena' is almost a textbook case of slimeball delusionist attempts to nudge the definition of 'open'
10:11 asciilifeform i can almost hear the reply of the author and his fans, 'what have you created, useless eater?!', 'this ~is~ what the word open now means!', etc
10:14 asciilifeform 'only a terrorist would demand the full docs for the fpga or a full netlist for the arm!'

12:08 jurov i turnd them off and it started flying aka 1 block/10sec
12:09 jurov punkman i wanted to have snapshots in case sometimes goes sour
12:09 jurov and to see disk usage per snapshot, quotas are needed
12:09 jurov i can live without that
12:10 mircea_popescu so quota implementation is bugged to all shit ?
12:10 mircea_popescu say something in #btrfs ?
12:11 jurov yes, such turdgnomery boggles the mind. any time anyone reported that, they were like "oh just turn off COW"
12:11 jurov but then you won't have data integrity checksums, either
12:12 mircea_popescu you prolly should harass them in chan.

12:14 mircea_popescu "Here's an example. Say your essay question is, "describe the causes of the American Civil War." Ok, so far everything the kid knows he learned from Prentice Hall, but something inside him thinks the answer is: LABOR COSTS. Hmmm. Insightful and unexpected, let's see what he does with it. But there's not much he can do with it, there aren't many obvious resources to pursue this "feeling" he has. He does what he can.
12:14 mircea_popescu It's not that good. C. Grade inflation gives him a B.
12:14 mircea_popescu Meanwhile, Balboa the el ed major searches carefully in his textbook and discovers the cause was... SLAVERY. He airlifts two sentences each out of five other books, asks for an extension because his grandmother died, adds nine hundred filler words including "for all intensive purposes" and "he could care less", and then waits in the parking lot to threaten you with "but this is a history class. Why are you grading my

23:16 mircea_popescu also these guys don't teach anything whatsoever. they mostly try to be carrie from sex and the city, except without the sex.

23:19 BingoBoingo Dayum v_diddy so how many babbies were there?
23:19 mircea_popescu kim could have been done in 36 minutes.

23:29 mircea_popescu "That specific issue reveals an important bias and misunderstanding America has when it talks about employment. Yes, there is an issue about people wanting to work but the other issue is that the global economy is too quick and efficient to tolerate your idiotic car troubles or your imbecilic grandmother's death or your moronic lack of child care (cue Scandinavia) or, and mostly, your stupid health. The economy was a

Keisha isn't just unemployed, she is completely unemployable. We can argue whether auto plants should pay $20/hr or $50/hr, but for certain there is no market for unskilled labor at all."

23:30 v_diddy mod6, hanbot, mircea_popescu, asciilifeform
23:30 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: on the other end, there is also precious little market for... skilled anything.
23:30 mircea_popescu naphex's been trying to hire skilled cocksuckers ; i've been trying to hire skilled pr ; bitbet still needs skilled bookies
23:30 asciilifeform (because what does zimbabwe need engineer for ? as far as the people's republic is concerned, he's just another shit-scooper ~but with pretensions~)
23:30 v_diddy asciilifeform: doesn't this thread devolve into "there's precious little market for anything not supported by usg"?
23:31 mircea_popescu there's a huge market for all sorts of skilled and a large pile of people who want skilled to mean what they want it to mean.
23:31 asciilifeform v_diddy: was trying to speak of... actual market
23:31 mircea_popescu which is fine, but it also means they gotta run their life as a business.
23:31 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: how else can it run ?
23:31 asciilifeform i suppose there is 'as a charity' ('keisha' et al)
23:31 mircea_popescu then stop bitching and make those warrants / shares worth something.
23:31 mircea_popescu today.
23:32 mircea_popescu that's the measure of skilled in a life run as a business
23:32 v_diddy http://log.bitcoin-assets.com//?date=18-10-2015#1301924 << dude this notion that children must of necessity be -ev is a strictly temporal and american thing
23:32 assbot Logged on 18-10-2015 16:46:39; asciilifeform: 'this problem will not be solved for you personally, pray that your grandchildren get to live like people' <--> 'but i don't want to have children, i want to live like people ~myself~'
23:32 asciilifeform v_diddy: they're -ev.
23:32 v_diddy "must be rich to not send kids to school"
23:32 mircea_popescu v_diddy how do you plan to extract value from the offspring ?
23:33 v_diddy no, don't send kids to school. make them put up molding in the remodel. they learn something, the thing increases in value.
23:33 v_diddy make them shred papers. they learn something, biz gets shit done.
23:33 mircea_popescu either that or they waste the consumables, break the tools and injure themselves.
23:33 v_diddy has yet to happen with /anyone/ i've taught to use power tools.
23:33 mircea_popescu or in other words,
23:33 mircea_popescu "You will observe the Keisha does not even have the enthusiasm to know what is written on the most important economic documents of her life. "I don't know, bipolar, panic attacks, whatever they put on there." She can't be bothered to handle those papers, someone else is in charge of that. How attentive will she be to the frier? McDonalds doesn't want to find out."
23:34 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: the thing that i was bitching about earlier is that nobody cared to find out how attentive ~i~ would be to the frier either
23:34 asciilifeform the last time i went.
23:34 mircea_popescu well yeah, because you'll prolly split in six weeks.
23:35 * asciilifeform wonders how far along usa collapse needs to be for this assumption to fade away
23:35 mircea_popescu prolly 20 years.
23:35 v_diddy tending the aquaponics, banging together a new dome, romping unattended in the neighbors fields not incurring costs...
23:36 v_diddy failure of imagination, i tell yas.
23:36 asciilifeform v_diddy: it is a perfectly fine thing to have pets, there is no need to pretend that they're +ev
23:36 mircea_popescu the record shall duly show.
23:37 mircea_popescu ok this is enough of this.
23:38 asciilifeform l0l
23:38 mircea_popescu da fuck, why did it miss a field.
23:38 v_diddy how do you draw the line between pets and livestock, asciilifeform?
23:38 asciilifeform v_diddy: livestock (if you've any business with them) are +ev
23:38 asciilifeform milk, meat.
23:39 v_diddy circular
23:39 asciilifeform not circular. nominal.
23:39 v_diddy that's not livestock it's a pet
23:39 v_diddy how do you know?
23:39 v_diddy it's -ev?
23:39 v_diddy how do you know?
23:39 v_diddy well it's a pet
23:39 asciilifeform aha, if you keep it around for no good reason other than that you like, e.g., its fur, its purr - it is a pet.
23:40 v_diddy or if it cooks, cleans, builds, still pet.
23:40 trinque you'd have to come at the thing by determining the value of your time, then the amount of time and resources devoted to the kid, what the kid ends up producing of value, does this offset the development period...
23:40 trinque but I'd be fine to consider my kid an art project
23:40 trinque at any rate it'll be fun to see what comes of your direction v_diddy :)
23:40 asciilifeform aha. i've yet to meet anyone who had children ~as result of calculation~
23:41 asciilifeform (met plenty of folks who ~did not~ from same.)
23:41 v_diddy what, you calculate the worth of a twenty lying on the street?
23:41 asciilifeform ?
23:41 v_diddy value is apparent to some people.

23:42 v_diddy asciilifeform: are all financial products of knowable value?
23:42 v_diddy 'products'
23:43 v_diddy cfd, futures, options etc.
23:43 v_diddy no of course not.
23:43 v_diddy but perhaps with judicious selection and market knowledge one can over time make some money.
23:44 v_diddy farmer who has 10 children 6 of which survive, 3 of which are useful on the farm doesn't calculate either.
23:44 asciilifeform aw
23:44 mircea_popescu this sucks.
23:44 mircea_popescu i have nfi how to apply it properly.
23:44 asciilifeform sux like electrolux
23:44 mircea_popescu aha!
23:45 mircea_popescu cant set a weaker one. cool.
23:45 v_diddy mircea_popescu: programs like american
23:45 v_diddy does schmuck attempting to hedge against total collapse of local civilization calculate ROI of expanding meatwot?
23:46 v_diddy worst case scenario i sell off a daughter or two to mircea_popescu
23:46 v_diddy they'll know latin, dance ballroom, play myriad instruments, perform ito.
23:47 v_diddy he won't be able to resist!

23:48 phf ito?

23:48 phf regressing to mean? that's a paddling
23:49 v_diddy and how.
23:49 v_diddy asciilifeform doubts my ability to milk humans of v!
23:49 v_diddy the man would also rather chew tacks than talk to humans, so we are at an impasse.
23:50 * asciilifeform is fortunately not needed for any of this.
23:52 v_diddy asciilifeform: perhaps remembers the lotto tickets at con3?
23:52 mircea_popescu like a what!
23:53 asciilifeform v_diddy: aha. mega-win.
23:53 v_diddy so there
23:54 asciilifeform v_diddy: i also remember the one other time i had a lotto ticket; when the lab where i worked in 2011 was defunded, the boss passed the hat and, as a last l0l, bought lotto tickets
23:55 v_diddy classic!
23:55 asciilifeform oughta have bought booze.
23:55 v_diddy actual incentive program at a place where a rescued $wotschmuck once labored
23:56 v_diddy lotto ticket has unknowable, but predictably bad odds.
23:57 asciilifeform wai wat
23:57 asciilifeform entirely knowable odds
23:57 v_diddy really? scratch-offs are provably trustable now?
23:57 asciilifeform ah in that sense, no.
23:57 v_diddy mk then.
23:58 asciilifeform but you can rely on the 0.
23:58 v_diddy sure sure
23:58 v_diddy and also reversion to the mean
23:58 trinque v_diddy: wait this wasn't a place I worked with the lotto tickets was it?
23:58 trinque I would die laughing if that became a practice after I left
23:59 v_diddy and also that any given individual including v_diddy thinks they're not an entirely average schmuck
23:59 v_diddy trinque: bonus pool type scam?
