(trilema) nubbins`: not even a chance at actual insurance, in fact
(trilema) nubbins`: i'm just going to fill out a detailed medical questionnaire and send it to a bunch of anons in exchange for health "insurance"
(trilema) nubbins`: oh, my sides
(trilema) nubbins`: "You could go so far as to create profiles and upload credit history/health records to increase your chances of acceptance into a pool"
(trilema) nubbins`: yeah, it's kind of difficult to find reasonable documentation on all of this
(trilema) nubbins`: KRS1: insurance is up there with banks as far as regulation goes
(trilema) nubbins`: "Using this you can ... sing your key. Although it is too logic to mention. For this you need your passphrase." -GPG mini how-to
(trilema) nubbins`: oh, there you go
(trilema) nubbins`: "here, remember this 90+ character password"
(trilema) nubbins`: ah, that would be less than useful
(trilema) nubbins`: and this will not be a nightmare for those who have already added the original key, yes?
(trilema) nubbins`: ok, just needed a quick sanity check
(trilema) nubbins`: does that seem reasonable
(trilema) nubbins`: okay, tell me if this makes sense: i have a business and a pgp key associated therewith. the email address of the uid is that of the business. what i want to do is add three additional uids for the three directors of the business, and then have a subkey generated for each director as well.
(trilema) nubbins`: hmm, so a uid is associated always with the master key, correct?
(trilema) nubbins`: also, our cat only drinks water from glasses and cups: http://imgur.com/JLxiZ3Y

(trilema) nubbins`: i always answer the door; depending on who it is and the time of day, i may or may not carry a hammer in my other hand
(trilema) nubbins`: i'm sure there are plenty of uses for WoTs outside of btc-space, but i can't think of any that would apply to me
(trilema) nubbins`: aw shucks, does this mean you'll come to my party?

(trilema) nubbins`: any of you guys watch trailer park boys?
(trilema) nubbins`: "i fucked my bitch again"
(trilema) nubbins`: implication is that he usually gets to touch women again after having sex with them
(trilema) nubbins`: granted, i can't recall a romanian national ever being extradited to america to face charges for something they did while in romania, so there doesn't appear to by any particular need to give a fuck
(trilema) nubbins`: i don't think mpex gives a particular fuck about US regulations
(trilema) nubbins`: ThickAsThieves: nope
(trilema) nubbins`: y'know, i'm kind of surprised havelock is still allowing US customers
(trilema) nubbins`: or, y'know, ripples
(trilema) nubbins`: news waves
(trilema) nubbins`: that bitcoin atm is really making waves here in canada
(trilema) nubbins`: sounds like you're describing gold

(trilema) nubbins`: 100 people biting a pizza
(trilema) nubbins`: ThickAsThieves: once it's cut, yes
(trilema) nubbins`: food analogies resonate with people
(trilema) nubbins`: which takes a half hour and ruins the pizza
(trilema) nubbins`: only wait, some asshole has to cut a pizza into 100 pieces
(trilema) nubbins`: if 10 people can eat a pizza in 10 minutes, then surely 100 people can eat the same pizza in 1 minute, right?
(trilema) nubbins`: while i've never read "the mythical man-month", i'm told it addresses this very problem
(trilema) nubbins`: except it doesn't
(trilema) nubbins`: yeah. because adding more resources solves the problem quicker
(trilema) nubbins`: <kleeck>The site was $600,000 before what they're calling "The Tech Surge" - meaning they hired even more incompetent people to work for time and half or double time.
(trilema) nubbins`: i thought skinnkavaj was just a random word generator with a bias towards "ltc"
(trilema) nubbins`: his face makes me feel funny :(
(trilema) nubbins`: from the next zine we're publishing
(trilema) nubbins`: foundation, good books
(trilema) nubbins`: i think a lot of things should be other things
(trilema) nubbins`: he obviously didn't do a dry run of his presentation before the real thing, hey?
(trilema) nubbins`: cant stop laughing
(trilema) nubbins`: a lot of people who like Frank's really dislike Brian's, but i enjoyed it
(trilema) nubbins`: never trust a computer
(trilema) nubbins`: paragraphs 2-4
(trilema) nubbins`: hm, bob makes a point
(trilema) nubbins`: or, put another way, a backup box is no good if it's a backup of a compromised machine
(trilema) nubbins`: jurov: shrug, i only paste ;)
(trilema) nubbins`: <mircea_popescu> jurov because at some point your system is either cenrtralised or it isn't.
(trilema) nubbins`: but that didn't quite overcome her crippling lack of social skills or job knowledge
(trilema) nubbins`: no, she was just smart on paper and knew how to interview
(trilema) nubbins`: irrelevant, but no
(trilema) nubbins`: "she was great in the interview"
(trilema) nubbins`: "why the fuck did you guys hire her?"
(trilema) nubbins`: i used to work with a girl who had a B.Eng. with honors, and she wrote the worst code i've ever seen. variables called "resultset1" and "string3", seriously
(trilema) nubbins`: plenty of those around, too
(trilema) nubbins`: and ending up in an unsatisfying job?
(trilema) nubbins`: wholly missing the point of the entire exercise
(trilema) nubbins`: how many interviewees see it as yet another test that they must figure out how to pass
(trilema) nubbins`: but there are plenty of other ways to prove that
(trilema) nubbins`: KRS-: arguably the only concrete value a degree holds
(trilema) nubbins`: being happy *and* satiated? you've got it knocked. don't change a thing.
(trilema) nubbins`: that's what leads to change
(trilema) nubbins`: many people are unhappy, yet satiated
(trilema) nubbins`: you came pretty close
(trilema) nubbins`: jurov: happy and satiated are not synonyms
(trilema) nubbins`: you need to work on it
(trilema) nubbins`: correct. persistence is a skill like any other
(trilema) nubbins`: "The Brutor takes pride in the troubles of their life because it all adds to their stature. They marvel at failure, such as bad grades in school, or getting hassled by cops who tell them only to move along. ... Any punishment for his actions becomes a badge and holds no real consequence because jail is holding him back from nothing but killing time"
(trilema) nubbins`: the20year: let me find you a quote
(trilema) nubbins`: every now and then they have an attack of guilt at the waste their life has become, but why dwell on that when it would take so much effort to change!
(trilema) nubbins`: they're content to just float along
(trilema) nubbins`: but i think the problem in a lot of cases is that people just don't want anything
(trilema) nubbins`: that's almost worse, spinning your wheels so slowly that you don't even notice you're sinking into the mud
(trilema) nubbins`: and they just stop taking in new information and learning new skills
(trilema) nubbins`: the other half of this is that people tend to settle. "well, i'm done school, no more learning for me"
(trilema) nubbins`: what a lel that was
(trilema) nubbins`: but in my defense, i was told that this shit was basically a golden ticket
(trilema) nubbins`: so it's not like i did things the smart way
(trilema) nubbins`: now, to be fair, i'm squarely in the group of people who figured this all out after the fact
(trilema) nubbins`: working at pet stores and Liquor Mart
(trilema) nubbins`: great, how about the other 200 people in your graduating class?
(trilema) nubbins`: what the fuck are you gonna do with a biology degree? become a biologist?
(trilema) nubbins`: science degrees are the biggest trick of all
(trilema) nubbins`: NOBODY REALIZES THIS
(trilema) nubbins`: EVERYTHING IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN SCHOOL
(trilema) nubbins`: and nobody's ready until they've sunk $60k into a degree in german film, or history, or biology
(trilema) nubbins`: but suggestions are advice, and the funny thing about advice is that nobody wants to hear it until they're ready
(trilema) nubbins`: i suggest not going to university. at least, not until you know what the fuck you want and have at least a general idea of how to get it
(trilema) nubbins`: university is just a 4 (or more) year extension on the autopilot that's been running these kids' lives
(trilema) nubbins`: as compared to spending time figuring out what you want from life
(trilema) nubbins`: can you think of a bigger waste of money? or TIME?
(trilema) nubbins`: anyway. walk around any campus and ask some young faces why they're there. see how many say "because my parents expect this of me". see how many are thinking the same but are ashamed to admit it.
(trilema) nubbins`: can part of the system be "nobody gives a fuck if you have a degree"
(trilema) nubbins`: ah a hiring system. why has nobody thought of this!
(trilema) nubbins`: you can't "keep" people motivated
(trilema) nubbins`: completely avoiding the fact that they're as useless now as a HS diploma was not long ago
(trilema) nubbins`: because everyone has one
(trilema) nubbins`: this is why a bachelor's degree is the new standard for employability
(trilema) nubbins`: tens of $? lel. tens of thousands of $
(trilema) nubbins`: well, that's the problem. kids are throwing tens of $ away, under the impression that it will make a difference in their lives. but unless they have the drive to take what they want and the self-awareness to know what it is, it'll never be anything more than a costly waste of time for them
(trilema) nubbins`: i know lots of very intelligent university-educated people, but i also know some complete fucking morons with the same credentials
(trilema) nubbins`: KRS-: i spent 6 years in university. i'm discounting the notion that possession of a degree automatically confers knowledge, wisdom, or experience. :)
(trilema) nubbins`: very, very expensive lesson, but sometimes it must be so
(trilema) nubbins`: spending six years learning that i didn't want to spend the rest of my life working in an office was the best learning experience i got
(trilema) nubbins`: and it takes a 3 minute job interview to separate those who went through the motions from those who took the opportunity to educate themselves
(trilema) nubbins`: or the individual classes, the value is being in an environment where you have ready access to the tools you need to educate *yourself*. nobody understands this anymore, and so they just show up and mope through classes and go home, not communicating with people who could offer advice, not seeking out opportunities to gain useful knowledge. just going through the motions and passing tests until the
(trilema) nubbins`: get a sheet of paper that says "B.Sc. (hons)", and then working a shit retail job until one day they realize (or not) what they should have been doing all along
(trilema) nubbins`: mircea_popescu: one of the big problems with higher education is that students think "ok, i just attend these classes, get this degree, and i'm employable", which is just not true. getting a university degree, college diploma, whatever, doesn't mean you're employable, doesn't mean you have skills, doesn't mean you know how to do anything besides graduate from a program. the value isn't in the degre
(trilema) nubbins`: abracadabra: i seriously searched for 30 minutes last night. open the fridge this morning, ketchup sitting alone on the bottom shelf
(trilema) nubbins`: i've got this condition where it's really difficult for me to find the ketchup in the fridge
(trilema) nubbins`: ink shopping
(trilema) nubbins`: definitely worthy of a !
(trilema) nubbins`: 5 days without fatal accident!
(trilema) nubbins`: MPEX DOWN, NSA RAID SUSPECTED
(trilema) nubbins`: ;;ticker --market all
(trilema) nubbins`: slashed indeed
(trilema) nubbins`: pale lager
(trilema) nubbins`: i consumed a large amount of alcohol last night
(trilema) nubbins`: which, if you're into odd things, is worth watching
(trilema) nubbins`: little bit less obscure than last year's costume of the 2 characters from a short film "umshini wam"
(trilema) nubbins`: she was going for a beastie boys "sabotage" kinda look
(trilema) nubbins`: just some random 70's cop
(trilema) nubbins`: pascale's is way cooler
(trilema) nubbins`: all ready for halloween :0
(trilema) nubbins`: i'm outta here, it's friday night and i'm still sober
(trilema) nubbins`: hmm, EB has fallen oddly silent
(trilema) nubbins`: weird people
(trilema) nubbins`: i watched a documentary on that soap a while ago
(trilema) nubbins`: everybody's an adult but you ;)
(trilema) nubbins`: oh! eskimo bob?
(trilema) nubbins`: you sure you're not a youth volunteer?
(trilema) nubbins`: funny, "ghanada" is exactly what's written on the covers of the zines
(trilema) nubbins`: and the canadians were all "o"
(trilema) nubbins`: then the point was raised that the canadians will also probably end up feeling uncomfortable in ghana because children are caned there
(trilema) nubbins`: anyway, the issue arose because the ghanaians don't feel comfortable questioning "authority" figures, and the supervisors were explaining that here in canada if you don't understand why you're doing something, you ask, because you're trying to be a part of our culture
(trilema) nubbins`: yeah. 3 months here, 3 months there
(trilema) nubbins`: it's 9 youths from canada and 9 from ghana
(trilema) nubbins`: well, that was one of the points that came up
(trilema) nubbins`: about their responsibilities
(trilema) nubbins`: where basically everyone argued for an hour
(trilema) nubbins`: the workshop itself was great, everybody loved printing. but then i got stuck in the room for a "discussion" between this youth group and their project supervisors
(trilema) nubbins`: zine workshop was a bit of a shit show
(trilema) nubbins`: (just catching up here)
(trilema) nubbins`: lel, a thousand times lel
(trilema) nubbins`: <dexX7> if you take a look at a phonepad and type 324 it will include the chars to form FBI
(trilema) nubbins`: it's so rare that i see the word "fecund" used in conversation. great word
(trilema) nubbins`: <mircea_popescu> i can't do that, the neoreactionaries would hate me because i am helping the jewish-african plot to subvert white fecundity.
(trilema) nubbins`: ;;ticker --market all
(trilema) nubbins`: can't be bothered to rotate it
(trilema) nubbins`: so, y'know, life's full of surprises
(trilema) nubbins`: although, the newspaper did a story on us a while back, and i sent them over some images to accompany the article. they published a full-page image of a creature with a dick and balls for a nose.
(trilema) nubbins`: actually, maybe "nobody will stop you" is closer to the truth
(trilema) nubbins`: the great thing about self-publishing is that you can be as obscene as you want, and nobody cares
(trilema) nubbins`: wait, that's not funny
(trilema) nubbins`: next you'll be saying canada is america!
