00:06 assbot Am fost hacuit on Trilema - A blog by Mircea Popescu. ... ( http://bit.ly/1YaiP0z )
00:07 mircea_popescu that was a lulzdefacement on trilema years ago. the "romanian blogging community" ie a few dozen derps with shitty jobs in media was rather indignant that o noes, such desperation, to mis en scene your own defacement!!
00:07 mircea_popescu then a coupla years later went into an epidemy of doing it, because hey, the sure mark of the insecure faggot is pretending superiority while attempting immitation.
00:10 mircea_popescu http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=14-11-2015#1323614 << this is a VERY naive objection.

00:10 mircea_popescu what the rats in the burning hole imagine the outside is, and what the outside is are different matters.
↖
00:11 mircea_popescu and the rats are ALWAYS imbecile. take you, for instqance : you imagine the outside "is bad". take them, for instance. they imagined the outside "is good". BOTH entirely, utterly and completely wrong, on an objective basis. but objective has absolutely nothing to do with it.
00:12 mircea_popescu do you know what informs their position, in all cases, then as now ? the same thing : they thought it's good because it seemed impopssible. you tihnk it's bad because it seems easy. that's the whole charade.
↖
00:12 mircea_popescu all the cunning of a pubescent female, trying to get what it perceives it can't have while discounting with both hands what's easy to get.
00:13 mircea_popescu so she sits around with idiots that don't know how to wash properly (no, they don't OPT to not wash properly, they simply don't know how to do it, through parental neglect) and cuts class.
00:15 mircea_popescu anyway. real men don't need more than what they carry with themselves. that's what fucking distinguishes them from women.
00:15 mircea_popescu women miss a bit.
00:16 mircea_popescu albert who ? speer, the nazi architect ? looky here : at the time the action was coherent there was no conflict. by the time there was conflict coherent action was practically absent. what have you done here, averaged over two decades ?
00:19 mircea_popescu http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=14-11-2015#1323630 << you need a very weird thought process to at the same time discount all the NUMEROUS idiots with nail marks all over the face and somehow hallucinate some imaginary protection for the remainder through a concerted, name-able agency. really, usg protected all the vermin i didn't yet get to ?

00:22 mircea_popescu BingoBoingo the problem with this is that the javascript "coder" without an eye and with two amputated legs will sit on an old skateboard and try to get rentacoder javascript work to pay his hospital bills.

00:24 mircea_popescu you must not sleep for like five - six years or some shit.
00:25 mircea_popescu fucking united states of kermit are an "economic actor" now, fancy that. what do they act, the chinese handpuppet ?
00:25 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: where i live, psychosis 'is' sanity. as in, the furniture ~is~ glued to the ceiling, the folks with the ~normal~ vestibular ear are the ones throwing chunkz

00:27 asciilifeform whaddayawant, it's a jail, cans of sardines are currency, usg is the only economic actor here, yes
00:27 mircea_popescu what else!
00:27 asciilifeform yes fishwraps
00:27 asciilifeform how else.
00:27 mircea_popescu do you do a lot of this begging the question and implying the conclusions business ?
00:27 mircea_popescu "in any set of one bottle all the things are a bottle!"
00:27 asciilifeform no 'any' in there

00:28 mircea_popescu "in this set of one bottle all things are a bottle! also in speer's case!"
00:28 mircea_popescu the acquarium is entirely in your head, is the problem.
00:28 asciilifeform speer helped preside over a similar aquarium. his was saltwater, mine - freshwater. but similar.
00:29 mircea_popescu i personaly suspect the only reason we even know the name of that B actor in the nazi state is that he was the first/only/most coherent man the brits could find in uniform.
00:29 asciilifeform also because wrote a megalith turd
00:29 * asciilifeform read.
00:30 mircea_popescu sounds a lot like taking the governor of missouri as some sort of relevant political force.

00:32 mircea_popescu to quote from a piece i linked earlier,
00:34 mircea_popescu "If Republicans continue to moan about "liberal bias" and "losing the culture wars" without mustering the courage to do something about it – à la Ben Carson's stoppage of funding or Glenn Reynolds's abolition of aristocratic loopholes for Ivy League tithing – then the whole notion of higher education is going to be lost."

00:34 mircea_popescu fancy that! that's exactly what is ~going to~ happen! the whole notion! will be lost!

00:39 asciilifeform the folks who could add and subtract, say.

17:15 funkenstein_ on a related note I never did care which sporting club logo is on the hat of the guys making the cpu
17:16 pete_dushenski funkenstein_: cheers :)
17:16 pete_dushenski but what's the cpu point ? reference ?
17:16 funkenstein_ as in, middle kingdom doesn't make one
17:17 pete_dushenski why would they ?
17:18 pete_dushenski i'm coming around to the theory that they're too smart to grant that much independence and autonomy willy nilly
17:20 funkenstein_ who's "they" here?
17:21 funkenstein_ guys with middle kingdom hats I guess
17:22 funkenstein_ anyway, well done. Sharing widely :)

17:32 pete_dushenski and many who thought that "coding was kool" are currently confronting an entirely different reality from the one they presupposed
17:32 asciilifeform pete_dushenski: afaik most 'confront the reality' when they first clock in at 1st paying gig
17:33 pete_dushenski right, which is why i doubt it takes much awareness to realise how garbage the webstack is.

17:35 pete_dushenski you have the technical capability, if not the mindset, patience, etc.
17:35 asciilifeform but as mircea_popescu is fond of pointing out, everybody is a candidate for unloading railcars.
17:35 pete_dushenski asciilifeform: exactly
17:35 asciilifeform just like everybody's a candidate for feeding worms
17:35 pete_dushenski everyone is a candidate for webz, which is why it's unusable

17:41 mircea_popescu asciilifeform you got your causalities backwards.
17:41 mircea_popescu you don't avoid it because it "IS" anything. it isn't anything,
17:41 asciilifeform well there is this it-shaped pit
17:41 mircea_popescu it only became something once you started avoiding it.
17:41 asciilifeform sorta like that animal in 'star wars' that digests for 800 years
17:41 mircea_popescu this, unpleasant as it may sound, is still jwzism
17:42 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: i did write 'phuctor'. i don't avoid dealing with www browser, what i avoid is being a labour peer with 17yo cannon fodder.
17:42 mircea_popescu right. i know.
17:42 mircea_popescu the objection here is to what you say, not to what you are.
17:43 asciilifeform (for the elementary reason that a 33 y.o. fella doesn't make a good 17y.o. emulator. for instance, the latter's wage won't pay the rentz. etcetcetc)
17:45 mircea_popescu this notion of one to one replacement as a necessity is a little bizarre, to my ears. also the notion that a 17yo could interdict any field to me is a little odd.
17:45 mircea_popescu see, if i decide going back to 11th grade, i wouldn't replace ONE 17yo
17:45 asciilifeform he can ~collectively~ by being cheap and disposable.
17:45 mircea_popescu i would replace ALL of them

17:48 pete_dushenski he's just not enough of a jooey chameleon then ?
17:48 mircea_popescu obviously there's religious nuts, but guess what, u of maryland has some derps "working on ethereum" right now.
17:48 mircea_popescu i'd take the imams any day when it comes to religious nuts.
17:48 pete_dushenski have to be pretty adaptable to cut it in tehran, i'd think
17:48 mircea_popescu and you'd think this on the basis of what ?
17:48 mircea_popescu for all you know they worship white folk.
17:49 asciilifeform i don't disagree re: the imams.
17:49 asciilifeform familiar enough with the subj.
17:49 pete_dushenski iranians have too long a historical memory for white worship. still remember greek ass-kick.
17:49 asciilifeform but i do know that ru folk contracting in ir get hazard pay.
17:50 asciilifeform not because of imams, but because shithole.
17:50 mircea_popescu asciilifeform you sure the "shithole" theory is not WHAT THEY WANT TO BELIEVE
17:50 mircea_popescu because otherwise the theory would have to be "because russians, = shitheads" ?
17:51 asciilifeform shitheads - sure. and i'm what, an instantly likable lolcat?
17:51 mircea_popescu not the point tho.

17:52 mircea_popescu they exist, somewhere. in meta-nsa-high.
17:52 asciilifeform the entire 'industry' is geared around the availability of disposable bodies.

17:56 asciilifeform jurov: so we aren't talking about the same problem.
17:57 jurov imo you yourself don't know what your problem is
17:57 asciilifeform paying the motherfucking bills
17:57 asciilifeform like most folks.
17:59 jurov how would positioning oneself as "the wizard" not pay the bills?
17:59 asciilifeform because i'm a wizard ~of something~
17:59 asciilifeform that is, the market is a lemon market, and folks tend to get recruited 95% via meatwot and the remainder via verifiable recs
18:01 jurov If you insist.
18:02 asciilifeform jurov: ever work in usa ?
18:02 mircea_popescu he fucking has me there, i never worked, nor ever hired in the us.
18:03 asciilifeform well:
18:03 asciilifeform the rivers of lying, stinking meat ~have an effect~
18:03 asciilifeform (as well described by naggum, who ~did~ live and work in usa for about a decade)
18:03 jurov you say all usian corps are so rigid so as not to recognize clueful people at all?
18:04 asciilifeform no.
18:04 mircea_popescu http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=14-11-2015#1324161 << this is actually true. it also happens to be that russians were the devil throughout my formative years.
18:04 assbot Logged on 14-11-2015 19:57:08; asciilifeform: gives the fr folks a run for their money
18:04 asciilifeform i don't expect mircea_popescu to like ru poetry any more than i expect my phriend from .in to like british.
18:04 mircea_popescu jurov no, the gist of his argument is that skill/competence are meaningless close enough to the money printer.
18:05 asciilifeform ^ this, but also that the lemon market is so dire that folks trying to actually accomplish something tend to be ~extremely~ conservative
18:05 mircea_popescu in the following sense : printing money renders sense arbitrary, and if sense is arbitrary then specialists become just another kind of voodoo practitioners. nobody cancelled the "if you're gonmna hire a voodoo priest, hire the cheapest" rule, and so here we are.
18:05 asciilifeform advertise for just about ~any~ skilled labour thing and you are besieged with 1,001 lying idiots
18:06 asciilifeform and yes! precisely as mircea_popescu describes
18:06 asciilifeform and there is also a pestilence of credentialism
18:06 mircea_popescu asciilifeform this i saw in romania. was required by law to advertise job to create eu residency permit for slavegirl.
18:06 mircea_popescu i took ad in obscure local paper, requiring complex engineering quals,
18:06 mircea_popescu >100 people emailed me.
18:06 asciilifeform it is no longer enough to have a uni degree (which i have, in ol'fashioned 'comp sci', fwiw) but also various trained monkey cert idiocies
18:06 mircea_popescu it's not that none meeting the quals.
18:06 mircea_popescu it's that 100% thereof having the quals for barrista and trying to wing it./
18:06 mircea_popescu "we're all people after all rite" ?
18:06 asciilifeform ^^ as naggum described
18:07 jurov how comes then your phone keeps ringing off the hook?
18:07 asciilifeform and as i saw personally when trying to hire folks
18:07 mircea_popescu i should prolly publish those emails sometimes, it was a fucking riot.
18:07 mircea_popescu the effects of "selfesteem" school quite evident.
18:07 asciilifeform jurov: because usg has infinite budget and wants moar and moar reversers
18:07 asciilifeform jurov: but i'd sorta like to avoid pederasty
18:08 mircea_popescu jurov think in soviet yugo terms, which is exactly what the us is :
18:08 mircea_popescu nobody had any trouble getting a job
18:08 mircea_popescu except for the 5 or so jobs anyone ever wanted
18:08 mircea_popescu (stewardess)
18:10 jurov i don't get it. you could then get nice money fixing vhs recorders and smuggling diskettes and whatever
18:10 jurov (but that's p3d3rastyyyyy!!!)
18:11 mircea_popescu no, the stand-in objection to that is "social skillz"
18:11 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: actually it is more specifically that with my level of social skillz it doesn't pay the rentz.
18:11 mircea_popescu he has a pretty elaborate thing secreted there.
18:11 jurov *shrug*
18:12 mircea_popescu also diskettes = plutonium, in soviet yugo alf would starve with a planeful of diskettes because "there's nothing can do with"
18:13 asciilifeform believe or not i was a perfectly normal boy (complete with the normal fistfights etc) before being forcibly removed to the land of monkeys
18:13 trinque pffff
18:14 trinque I was born here and I still live as though in enemy territory
18:14 mircea_popescu asciilifeform i believe.
18:14 asciilifeform so in soviet yugo, supposing i'd grown up there, i'd possibly be something more like jurov.
18:15 trinque (gay?)

19:41 asciilifeform really not so different from that other nomenklatura.
19:42 mircea_popescu very different. they were georgians not fucking eskimo.
19:42 asciilifeform now this, yes
19:42 asciilifeform but overall flavour is the same.
19:43 mircea_popescu "oh , but india just happens to have a culture that promotes abject replication."
19:43 mircea_popescu yeah, exactly.
19:43 asciilifeform but the classical india featherbedding - this, yes!
19:44 phf i think in su the purpose of sewing machine was to pirate french pret-a-porter that would not be otherwise accessible in stores. could buy sewing pattern magazines, i.e. Burda. aunt made some side money in the 70s making garments "like them french girls"
19:44 mircea_popescu ex "mechanical engineer", reminds me a lot of the rather famous zarone, g g dej's driver, then minister.
19:44 asciilifeform more elementarily, to fix torn things faster/with less sweat
19:44 mircea_popescu phf yes, that was the theory.
19:45 mircea_popescu the practice however, was that about one in ten women were worth the cutting cloth.
19:46 mircea_popescu i suspect germany (all opf the machines had to be german!!1) made marginally more money selling the gear than the women in question saved, had exports been allowed.
19:46 mircea_popescu the truth of this point can be appreciated by the incredible expansion of lohn in the 90s in eeu.

19:51 mircea_popescu no, the franchisee bears most of the risk.
19:52 mircea_popescu this is basically the fundamental deal of "we have unskilled, obedient derps here and nothing else. what now ?"
19:52 mircea_popescu how china was built, also.

19:54 mircea_popescu there's really no good way to describe it outside of "here are stupid people in a historical valley". i it's a mix of factoring, leasing and outsourcing supply provisioning + financing in one package.
19:55 mircea_popescu one more tweak and you'd be ceo of your own company on reddit.
19:55 pete_dushenski except for the 'obedient' element, which reddit utterly lacks
19:55 mircea_popescu are you kidding me ?
19:55 mircea_popescu they're the most obedient people alive.
19:55 mircea_popescu granted, they obey stupid people saying stupid things, but ...

19:56 mircea_popescu this is how this goes.
19:56 pete_dushenski right, also not reddit, who couldn't be made to work with a pitchfork poking them in the ass
19:57 mircea_popescu seems to me they work at producing poorly strung together sentences by the boatload.
19:57 pete_dushenski they'd sooner break down in tears and call for their mommy/police than dig ditch
19:57 pete_dushenski writing poorly =! work
19:57 pete_dushenski it's "fun"
19:57 mircea_popescu yes, well, again : this is how this goes. the entire point of "economy" is the redefinition of work.

22:03 phf http://arxiv.org/pdf/1510.08555.pdf "Why Johnny Still, Still Can’t Encrypt: Evaluating the Usability of a Modern PGP Client". wtf is the point of these "studies"? "We elected to test Mailvelope, a modern PGP tool, for our study. Mailvelope is a browser extension that integrates with users’ webmail systems." "Participants were allocated sixty minutes to com- plete the study, with about 35-40 minutes spent using Mail- velope."

22:05 phf couldn't find it in logs, but i'm fascinated by this "research". top comment on lobste.rs where it got posted links to http://blog.cryptographyengineering.com/2014/08/whats-matter-with-pgp.html which was pretty discussed. "there's consensus!" somebody ought to publish meta study of "gpg poor usability"

22:18 pete_dushenski this disinfo is at least as old as Alma Whitten and J. D. Tygar 1999. Why Johnny can’t encrypt: A usability evaluation of PGP 5.0. if not older
22:19 pete_dushenski ref 10 in 'paper'
22:19 mircea_popescu "usability" is a concern for cryptographic systems like "glaring absence of shit stuck on all sides of rifle" is a concern for kalashnikov design.
22:19 pete_dushenski 'need more dildo for userbase!'
22:20 mircea_popescu "Except maybe not: if you happen to do this with GnuPG 2.0.18 -- one version off from the very latest GnuPG -- the client won't actually bother to check the fingerprint of the received key. A malicious server (or HTTP attacker) can ship you back the wrong key and you'll get no warning. This is fixed in the very latest versions of GPG but... Oy Vey."
22:20 mircea_popescu the conclusion is remarkably not "pgp 2.x is a scam"
↖
22:21 mircea_popescu but "pgp is bad" which was the entire point of the 2.x branch of "developlent" in the first fucking place.
22:21 mircea_popescu the only conclusion of that piece of nonsense is that Matthew Green must die. nothing more.

22:23 mircea_popescu phf it's research in the sense "earth sciences" are research.
22:24 mircea_popescu "let's pretend like the patently untrue bullshit we want to push is not arbitrary but necessary"
22:26 mircea_popescu the principal sleigh of hand here is the implication, unspoken but universally pushed, that you would want "automatic" encryption. ie somehow the "standard" shouild be a "browswer extension" or other such crap.
22:26 mircea_popescu never trust a man that does automatic cryptography.
