chetty | nubbins`, yeah got to admit I was a little annoyed with myself, no landline here either so no phone charged was kinda dumb | [12:38] |
mircea_popescu | This expectation is so ingrained that people in meetings routinely answer their mobile phones to say << maybe what has really changed is the expectation re meetings. just a decade or two ago, people would have expected meetings to serve a rational purpose and end with a result. | [12:39] |
mircea_popescu | neither is the case today, people just hang around. | [12:39] |
nubbins` | (incidentally, why does all the milk in the organic section loudly proclaim "I'M MILK!" in spanish? | [12:39] |
mircea_popescu | pete_dushenski> "because ADOPTION" is my new favourite slogan for redditards et al. << orphans seeking adoption. nothing wrong with the picture. | [12:39] |
thestringpuller | mircea_popescu: this is very precise. | [12:39] |
nubbins` | mircea_popescu i recall at one office job, my boss' boss' boss was getting a promotion, and so called all 120 programmers into a boardroom, 30 at a time, to explain about his new responsibilities but nothing will change for the rest of us | [12:39] |
mircea_popescu | right / | [12:40] |
nubbins` | guy stole 120 hours on the company. a month's work. when an email woulda done | [12:40] |
nubbins` | this is what meetings are | [12:40] |
mircea_popescu | so why wouldn't you answer the phone. it's more like a boring highschool class than a meeting. | [12:40] |
thestringpuller | mircea_popescu: people just hang around << i find this is because people lack focus during the meeting. You stay on topic until someone mentions something off topic. "Blah blah blha pink floyd" "Oh you like pink floyd?" 30 minutes later you realize you're still talking about a 70's rock band and not about that thing you're supposed to be meeting about. | [12:40] |

pete_dushenski | "The U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Bureau of the Fiscal Service (Fiscal Service) today announced that Pay.gov, the government’s secure web based collection portal for payments to federal agencies, now offers both PayPal and Dwolla as payment options." << from a few days ago. | [12:56] |
nubbins` | once an incompetent worker reaches a certain longevity, their dismissal is tacit admittance that they've been fooling everyone all along | [12:56] |
nubbins` | so rather than facing "yep, we've let this dead weight collect a cheque for 15 years" | [12:57] |
pete_dushenski | ^"please don't use cash for anything ever because only bad people use cash" | [12:57] |
nubbins` | they just give 'em a different job in another department | [12:57] |
nubbins` | which, if it didn't accompany a pay raise, would engender the same line of questioning as a dismissal | [12:58] |
mircea_popescu | nubbins` pretty much has it. | [12:58] |
nubbins` | eventually they learn their way around enough that latecomers can easily be fooled into thinking that the variety speak is representative of skill, not imitation | [12:59] |
nubbins` | "who, alex? he's been here longer than i have! knows the place inside out!" | [13:00] |
nubbins` | but all of alex's projects are always fucked up and late | [13:00] |
nubbins` | usually due to "external factors" or "changing requirements" | [13:00] |
mircea_popescu | the problem essentially is that specialist groups do need a variety talk, however "politeness" combined with that results into a lot of nooks and crannies where alex can hide. | [13:01] |
nubbins` | absolutely | [13:01] |
mircea_popescu | it's not coincidental that all successful specialist groups are irreverent. | [13:01] |
nubbins` | when a large, once-profitable company suddenly goes belly-up or massively scales back, you can expect to find a high percentage of alexes on the payroll | [13:01] |
mircea_popescu | you can also expect to find the last time someone made fart jokes publicly @ the expense of people present buried under at least a decade of history. | [13:02] |

mircea_popescu | "rich" does not mean what the poor imagine it means. the notion of running a farm on 26k subsidies a year... heh. | [14:33] |
mircea_popescu | here's the thing : just because inflation has made every pauper think he holds money doesn't change the fact that a farmer today is worth a hundred million just by simply maintaining equality with a farmer of relatively the same social importance back in 1615. | [14:34] |

Buried in the cross-compliance regulations is a measure called GAEC 12. This insists that, to receive their money, farmers must prevent "unwanted vegetation" from growing on their land. (The rest of us call it wildlife habitat.) Even if their land is producing nothing, they must cut, graze or spray i | [14:54] |

asciilifeform | BingoBoingo: it is possible, with current tech, to recycle shells in jungle conditions, but not to produce them, or primers, or bullet adequate for modern rifle | [14:59] |
BingoBoingo | "Reloading" cases fine, powders common... engineered primers and bullets far less so | [15:00] |
mircea_popescu | the "3d printed" guns were obviously going to push towards regulation of bullets. | [15:00] |

BingoBoingo | asciilifeform> nubbins`: mircea_popescu takes a 'sapper errs once' attitude to bitcoin compatibility, for reasons which should need no explanation << Kinda why my -qt OpenBSD experiment is vaguely described in blog post. If I hit a grendade do not want others suffering same one | [18:53] |
BingoBoingo | Also my porting effort consisted on delete, ctrl-c, and ctrl-v and watching compiler errors | [18:54] |
nubbins` | heh | [18:55] |
nubbins` | we call this "test driven development" | [18:55] |
BingoBoingo | Well, I also read the previous porting efforts | [18:55] |
asciilifeform | the thing is, eventually this 0.5.3 thing is going to have to, like or not, -add- vs merely remove | [18:55] |
asciilifeform | if only to fix obvious and intolerable flaws like the orphans leak | [18:55] |
mircea_popescu | asciilifeform quite substantially the same thing yes | [18:56] |
nubbins` | BingoBoingo, cazalla much work involved in collating a list -- say 10-20 items -- of the phoundation's biggest boondoggles/fuckups/skeletons/whatever? | [18:56] |

asciilifeform | 'For the fact is that being inside a whale is a very comfortable, cosy, homelike thought. The historical Jonah, if he can be so called, was glad enough to escape, but in imagination, in day-dream, countless people have envied him. It is, of course, quite obvious why. The whale's belly is simply a womb big enough for an adult. There you are, in the dark, cushioned space that exactly fits you, with yards of blubber between yours | [19:28] |
asciilifeform | elf and reality, able to keep up an attitude of the completest indifference, no matter what happens. A storm that would sink all the battleships in the world would hardly reach you as an echo. Even the whale's own movements would probably be imperceptible to you. He might be wallowing among the surface waves or shooting down into the blackness of the middle seas (a mile deep, according to Herman Melville), but you would never | [19:28] |
