asciilifeform high talent individuals go to silicon valley << world-renowned chumpatron. leaving aside the question of whether the folks there 'work' (in the sense of producing anything valuable) - they get sheared very properly, for much of what they make - at least the ones who wouldn't care to commute 4 hrs/day [07:50]
kakobrekla i was afraid so ascii. [07:50]

asciilifeform 100k won't buy you a garret to starve in, there. [07:52]
decimation kanzure: how much do they make 15 years in? [07:52]
kanzure so anyone with an ounce of experience is making.. a lot more. :) [07:52]
decimation I bet not more than $150k [07:52]
kanzure well, from personal experience i'd say at least $.. oh, yeah, definitely more than 150 [07:52]
asciilifeform incidentally, we are close to a useful definition of 'rich' - fellow is 'rich' if he can tell the man with the shears to go to hell, and make it stick. [07:53]
kanzure at *minimum* the metric is +$1k/month per year of experience [07:53]
decimation lol [07:53]

asciilifeform engineer who has to pay $100k to live within range of his $150k employer, cannot be described even as 'well to do' [07:54]
kanzure here is the survey i did, [07:54]
kanzure https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5802295 [07:54]
decimation no, he's effectively a wage slave [07:54]
kanzure anyway, 15 years of experience can easily get 25-30k/mo [07:55]
decimation right. because your poll said so? [07:55]
kanzure experience [07:55]
kanzure the poll is only to help idiots calibrate that $90k is low-end of the scale [07:56]
decimation okay, let's pretend that 15 year veterans are all making $300k - when a reasonable home is $1 mil, they are still pretty poor [07:57]
asciilifeform kanzure: the poll (even if we assume that every answer was truthful and representative of something) isn't particularly useful, because it lumps in things which are quite unlike. [07:57]
asciilifeform 300k vice president of widgets inc. is not a member of the same profession as his engineer. [07:57]

kanzure good gigs tend to be clustered around anything that says 'individual contributor' [08:00]

asciilifeform decimation: 20 yrs. ago it wasn't an obviously stupid thing to do [08:04]
kanzure the only problem with this conversation is that i can't figure out why would you want to be employed (of all people) [08:05]
asciilifeform kanzure: to eat? [08:05]
decimation kanzure, are you implying that one with suitable skills can easily make $300k without "knowing" the "right people"? [08:05]
kanzure hmm i don't know about easily, things do take "work" [08:06]
kanzure and you don't have to know the right people in advance, but you do eventually have to meet someone [08:06]
kanzure at least one person (namely the person who would be paying you) [08:06]
kanzure also you have to be able to provide actual value. no coding an airplane into the ground. [08:07]
asciilifeform kanzure: if you're the kind of hero who can demand 300k without ever having to physically meet a client, attend a whatever board, deliver physical samples in person, etc - more power to you [08:08]
asciilifeform but i dare say that you (and mp?) may be alone in this weight class, among us [08:08]
decimation my "experience" is quite full of people who are apparently quite intelligent and are unable to demand such a rate [08:09]
kanzure alas, on one of my recent gigs i somehow ended up traveling for a week every few months.. it was trickery. :( [08:09]
decimation I guess I just don't see the offers on dice.com or whatever [08:09]
asciilifeform i've often had 'interesting' conversations with people to whom i suggested calculating their wage 'per hour of actual work' [08:10]
kanzure knowing even just a little bit of programming puts you beyond the hope of most job sites [08:10]
kanzure so, what people do instead is more like in-bound marketing [08:10]
asciilifeform with the latter defined by 'doing anything that you would not do if you didn't have to' [08:10]
kanzure where their open source projects, blogs, conference talks/videos, whatever, serves as a way of directing traffic to them [08:10]
kanzure and then they get picked up by the industrial whales or do contracting gigs [08:10]
kanzure naturally this ends up causing some weirdness.. some people focusing on just hadoop or whatever. which is weird. but you can see why it happens. [08:11]
asciilifeform i don't dispute that there live unique specialists who are paid $xxx k for something that could be described as 'engineering.' but most of them are on some kind of physical leash, however long. [08:11]
kanzure oh, i'm not even talking about the people who started the projects [08:12]

asciilifeform (or, it is made - evenings/weekends.) [08:15]
kanzure it's more like.. finding companies with lots of money, and then solving their problems using what you know. [08:16]
kanzure and then selecting those companies more carefully so that the solutions happen to be things that wont bore you to death [08:16]
decimation there are many details missing here, but it seems to me that kanzure is basically saying that big gov't/corps are willing to pay $100x to get what they could otherwise pay $x to get [08:16]
asciilifeform i've yet to see a living case of this that wasn't in the 'pay 250 to live in range of the 300' territory. [08:17]
kanzure so wait, your thesis is that all highly-paid individuals are getting screwed? [08:17]
asciilifeform decimation: the parsimonious hypothesis is much simpler - some people get access to what drips from the money printer pipeline by having the right friends [08:17]
asciilifeform or sucking the right cocks [08:17]
decimation yeah I agree [08:17]
kanzure is it possible that there are people that are getting paid relative to the value that they create? [08:18]

mircea_popescu anyway, i suspect the earlier lengthy discussion about money conflates two different uses of the thing. [09:13]
assbot [HAVELOCK] [B.SELL] 3 @ 0.04898997 = 0.147 BTC [+] [09:13]
mircea_popescu money can be sustenance or control. [09:13]
assbot [HAVELOCK] [B.MINE] 3 @ 0.03461033 = 0.1038 BTC [-] {2} [09:13]
mircea_popescu people who aren't in the business of control (such as engineers, say) wouldn't -logically- be paid enough money to go into 2nd category. [09:13]
* davout (~davout@unaffiliated/davout) has joined #bitcoin-assets [09:13]
mircea_popescu they'd be paid enough to support themselves. [09:13]
mircea_popescu in this sense the rate-control agreement of the employers in sv is quite rational and in effect socially beneficial [09:14]
assbot [HAVELOCK] [B.EXCH] 3 @ 0.08299776 = 0.249 BTC [-] [09:14]
decimation I agree it is rational from their perspective. And clearly, there are loads of engineers and "engineers" who are ready to signup [09:14]
mircea_popescu if you overpay them the bezzle-usd just runs into inflation. [09:15]
mircea_popescu suppose tomorrow the agreement was that no engineer working in sv is paid under 350mn dollars a year. [09:16]
decimation except as I pointed out awhile ago, there are only 300k EE's in the us total [09:16]
assbot [HAVELOCK] [B.EXCH] 8 @ 0.08299776 = 0.664 BTC [-] [09:16]
mircea_popescu what other effects would you expect, except for rents being in the 20mn a month range ? [09:16]
decimation well, this is why rents in sv are already astronomical [09:16]
mircea_popescu yes, this is true. but they are not managers, they're not the sort of people who play the resource allocation game. thus they have no business handling money as a % of total supply. [09:16]
mircea_popescu they only get sustenance money. [09:17]
mircea_popescu there's two kinds of money see ? money-%, like btc. that's the money used by the people who allocate resources. [09:17]
decimation except, old republicans would point out that the managers used to not consider themselves worth of % of total business money [09:17]
mircea_popescu there's also money-flat, like what most people thing of "dollars". these are used to buy groceries with. [09:17]
mircea_popescu that may be. [09:17]
truffles 2 kinds of money like bills and coins? [09:17]
mircea_popescu resources still have to be allocated, somehow, by someone/thign. [09:17]
truffles prob mean 2 kinds of uses* [09:18]
decimation this whole "the ceo should get 1% of the business" deal is something that happened in the 80's with the increasing bezzle [09:18]
decimation greater bezzle leads to lesser bezzle [09:18]
mircea_popescu decimation looky : there are two types of questions before mankind. one type reduces to what ? the other type reduces to how ? [09:18]
mircea_popescu the people answering how-questions don't need (or want) the tools used by the people answering what-questions. [09:19]
decimation except there are also who? whom? questions [09:19]
truffles why when [09:19]
decimation I don't deny that allocating resources is hard work worthy of pay [09:20]
mircea_popescu who is what. [09:20]
mircea_popescu not a matter of "worthy" see ? [09:20]
mircea_popescu it'll have to be done, and so it will be done. [09:20]
mircea_popescu and it's not harder than any other. if all we have are shitty engineers, are htey not worthy or less worthy of pay ? [09:21]
mircea_popescu you rule compared to roman engineers 2 millenia ago, and suck compared to derpistan engineers of 4015 [09:21]
mircea_popescu what's that matter. [09:21]

mircea_popescu in a sense, if one finds himself bored in the laser lab and looking at the stars, one should switch from solid state to large body physics [09:26]
mircea_popescu rather than try and make the laser shoot stars. [09:26]
mircea_popescu i personally think a grown man should possess a working knowledge of both fields, at least enough to make him conversant in either. [09:27]

decimation in the us it is very difficult to find these 'captains of industry' who are leading the exploitation. management talent is lacking more severely than engineering talent [09:28]
mircea_popescu absolutely. [09:28]
decimation this probably causes most engineers to have contempt for those over them [09:29]
mircea_popescu competent managers are always in short supply. engineers used to be, but 500 years of systematic how-to-twerk videos have managed to squeeze an astonishing amount of butt out of the ass. [09:29]
mircea_popescu management doesn't yeild as well to the scientific method, sadly, and spitefully. [09:30]
decimation yes, this is true, and thus most managers are simply born [09:30]
mircea_popescu maybe [09:30]
decimation or, were born with the predeliction to seek out experience to learn the 'trade' [09:31]
mircea_popescu or something. [09:31]

truffles if i were a con sure [09:32]
decimation what would such a mission be expected to yeild? knowledge? [09:32]
chetty bocobit, yup [09:32]
decimation what could be gained by sending humans than cannot be gained from robots? [09:32]
mircea_popescu decimation lawsuits. [09:32]
bocobit who was the four man on the moon? [09:32]
bocobit fourth* [09:32]
truffles dont think they have advance enough robots out decimation [09:33]
mircea_popescu i have some popcorn prepared for the opinions in the first wrongful death suit connected to private marsd exploration [09:33]
decimation well, then perhaps the right managers can allocate resources to build the advanced enough robots [09:33]
bocobit i'd do it if I was the first to walk [09:33]
decimation except, it isn't profitable [09:33]
decimation so that's dumb [09:33]

* mjr_ (~Thunderbi@74.73.59.241) has joined #bitcoin-assets [18:00]
mircea_popescu a valid approach, yes. [18:00]
asciilifeform because they, for some odd reason, demand a ridiculous geographic concentration of engineers [18:00]
mircea_popescu efficiency is a COO not a CFO job. in other words, you don't reduce it financially [18:00]
mircea_popescu (you may at most increase it, but only somewhat) [18:00]
asciilifeform they might perhaps be better off 'vertically integrating' the housing bit [18:01]

asciilifeform like chinese dormitories. [18:01]
mircea_popescu yoiu have to consider the history : only very recently have tech companies become "Respectable" [18:01]
asciilifeform the most frustrating part is the folly of the engineers, who salivate after the '$300k sv job' [18:01]
mircea_popescu buffett still does not invest in them because, politely, "he doesn't understand them", but factually "not in his wot" [18:01]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform why ? the 16 yo should salivate after the cock. [18:02]
asciilifeform as if the money is actually their own, and not simply put in their hands for a few minutes to salivate over. [18:02]
mircea_popescu what else in this world is there for her to salivate for ? [18:02]

mircea_popescu while your ability to pay is finite, you being finite, your ability to underwrite credit is not finite. [18:08]
mircea_popescu the difference between these two is, obviously... your painting. [18:08]
mircea_popescu there's a very good fundamental reason to extend credit you know will never be repaid. [18:08]
mircea_popescu i did it myself, and quite publicly at that. remember the patrick harnett case ? [18:09]

mircea_popescu you familiar with buffett pretending taxes "at the top" aren't high enough, and with gates donating his fortune to "good causes" and so on ? [18:12]

mircea_popescu buffett structures the hell out of his deals to avoid taxation. [18:12]
asciilifeform game theoretically 'dishonest signal' [18:12]

asciilifeform 'corrupting the youth', hemlock/exile, hemlock, 'give a chicken for asclepius for me', 'drink this & walk around a bit', croaks [19:24]
mircea_popescu you don't like telling stories do you ? [19:24]
asciilifeform damn i'm no good at this 'crib sheet' business [19:25]
mircea_popescu anyway, yes, but an alternative retelling would be something like this : [19:25]
* mjr_ (~Thunderbi@74.73.59.241) has joined #bitcoin-assets [19:25]
mircea_popescu socrates spent his life empowering the youth with the tools of the mind. once htey came of age that youth turned around and took over the city, ie, the world. [19:25]
mircea_popescu then they proceeded to implement their very own, context-adequate version of taxation/dekulakization : they ordered the citizenry to commit murders [19:26]
mircea_popescu so that nobody could safely extricate himself from their lot. [19:26]
mircea_popescu the outrage was eventually their undoing, they were banished, socrates was identified as the guilty party, one removed. [19:26]
mircea_popescu dekulakization is nothing novel. [19:26]

decimation mircea_popescu: dekulakization is nothing novel. << moldbug points out that FDR had the same motivations http://unqualified-reservations.blogspot.ca/2010/03/true-election-practical-option-for-real.html [22:41]
decimation "Nor was FDR, as commonly asserted, a "traitor to his class" - anything but it. FDR's beliefs, or at least his speeches (in one so seldom praised for candor, the inference of any actual conviction is at best an exercise of imagination) can indeed be studied as almost perfect reflections of the intellectual fashions of America's apex upper class, the socialite-socialist aristocracy. These fashions have changed somewhat since 1933, but not that [22:41]
decimation much." [22:41]
mircea_popescu right. [22:43]

decimation one can sympathize with the impulse of the rich and powerful to keep the middle down, if only so that they are the only yacht-owners in the harbor [22:44]
bounce "'merkin crusty upper crust is crusty", or what? [22:44]
bounce shades of pterry's small gods. get unlimited power, spend it on garden gnomes. [22:45]

bounce oh probably differen title, actualy. mort, I think. [22:49]
bounce it's a matter of attitude. why even bother spend any effort, money, whatever, on keeping the (not that uncultured part of the) plebs down? so many other things you could do with your wealth and power. what do you value? well, those values apparently aren't that highfalutin', after all. [22:51]

bounce to some it's not merely necessary to win, but for others to lose. turn a non-zero-sum game into a zero-sum game, why don't you. [22:53]

mircea_popescu suppose you'd rather do something else with your free time than having to write fucking books because everyone else is too retarded to write the books on their own and they just flock to the fucking gamew instead [22:55]

mircea_popescu i can't even begin to imagine anyone'd actually want to be stuck having to do everything by hand because well nobody else does because nobody else can because they fucked it all up. [22:57]
mircea_popescu sounds fucking aeschil-esque, this shit. [22:57]
thestringpuller the people who can't write books shouldn't write books... [22:57]
punkman aeschylesque? [22:59]
mircea_popescu yes. [22:59]
mircea_popescu anyway, whenbever that idiocy breaks down you get a renaissance, it's uncanny. [22:59]
bounce what? you're rich and powerful. you could hire a competent writer, or ten, and only keep the best one or two books [22:59]
mircea_popescu people' fucking irrational fear of people being ironically the most notable obstacle for those same people. [23:00]
mircea_popescu bounce why should i hire them at all. why aren't they hiring me. [23:00]

decimation da vinci was in the pope's wot [23:08]
mircea_popescu partly because the pope was quite inefficient at either taxing or dekulakizing him out of existence. [23:09]
mircea_popescu i really should say "regulate" instead of "taxing" but anyway. [23:09]
mircea_popescu so suppose he were much more efficient at it. he had more money therefore. and now he could hire... condolezza rice. [23:10]
mircea_popescu to tell him about how "nobody could have drawn a rocket on the wall it just couldn't have been done" [23:10]
mircea_popescu derpyherp and tyvm. [23:10]

bounce though I don't think da vinci properly classifies as upper middle class in context [23:16]
