[01:53:41] * Bytram is just doing a quick check-in to see if anything is up.
[01:54:34] <Bytram> long day at work today; a whole LOT of changes were made to the layout of the department -- I now know exactly where things used to be. :P
[01:55:11] <Bytram> and, I just found out that the remaining area of the department is being rearranged tomorrow morning before I get to work.
[01:56:13] <Bytram> So, it'll take me AT LEAST a couple weeks to get to the point where I'll be able to put my hands on things when I go to look for them.
[01:56:59] <Bender> [SoylentNews] - Bacon, Burgers, and Sausages Are a Cancer Risk, Say World Health Chiefs - http://sylnt.us - end-of-the-world-is-nigh
[01:57:07] <Bytram> But, I still have a job, my bills are paid, I have a roof over my head, I just finished my dinner so I'm not at all hungry... really don't have much to complain about, really.
[01:57:26] <mythterj> Hopefully Bytram doesn't work in Medicine ...
[01:57:27] <Bytram> and there was no cancer risk in my dinner, too!
[01:57:27] <Bytram> =)
[01:57:32] <Bytram> nope
[01:58:06] <Bytram> I'm a brain surgeon
[01:58:08] <Deucalion> can't have customers knowing where things are, how would you get an opportunistic sale if every customer just went directly to what they wanted without looking at anything else? Supermarket policy for as long as supermarkets have existed - keep moving the products around.
[01:58:11] <Bytram> j/k
[01:58:51] <Bytram> and can't have the staff knowing where it is, either. that way they make sure that nobody can buy anything they want.
[01:59:45] <Bytram> I was here last week and saw $foo, I've decided I'd like to buy it, but cannot find it, now. Where is it? Beats me; I don't know where anything is any more, either!
[02:00:02] <Bytram> only slightly kidding on that one
[02:00:38] <Deucalion> Nooo - that is part of the same plan - if the customer can just ask a staff member where X is then the customer would do so and the reason the movement of product was implemented (force customer to look at everything) is short circuited.
[02:00:44] <Bytram> crutchy: thanks for the greeting, btw
[02:01:45] <Bytram> oh, they tend to do that anyway, we have a pretty good runover of stock
[02:01:51] <Bytram> s/runover/turnover/
[02:01:51] <sedctl> <Bytram> oh, they tend to do that anyway, we have a pretty good turnover of stock
[02:02:15] <Bytram> and we try and greet every one of them to make sure they know we are there to help
[02:02:53] <Bytram> Deucalion: IN a few weeks, I'll be up to speed. It's just dealing with the transition that is challenging.
[02:03:31] <Deucalion> Condition of life - change is constant :)
[02:03:58] <Bytram> I'm pretty good at making sense from swarms of data, I just need to immerse myself for a while and it will all get sorted out before long.
[02:04:24] <Bytram> the hardest part is forgetting all the stuff I taught myself about where things were and replace it with all new location data.
[02:04:44] <Bytram> btw, did I mention we have on the order of 4000-5000 items?
[02:05:51] <Bytram> maybe closer to 6000
[02:06:42] <Bytram> fortunately, it's not all the stock that is getting switched out, just its location. So, it's just a matter of searching long enough to find things.
[02:07:03] <Bytram> so, in the grand scheme of things, it is really no big deal, but for the short term, it can be more than a little frstrating.
[02:07:13] <Bytram> like you said, change is constant

[02:12:15] <crutchy> Deucalion, i call that supermarket phenomenon 'the walk of shame'
[02:12:52] <crutchy> whenever i go there's always something i can't find, so i go to one end and walk systematically to the other
[02:13:19] <Deucalion> Perhaps you should knock up a Pad runnable application that maps the location with a database of all product lines along with X Y coordinates for each product (parsed to human readable output for display) - setup shell company - offer said application with ongoing Pad sales and support contracts thereof to your employers. Get to take a wage and sell them the mapping product at the same time. Wouldn't be hard to do - something for the down hours
[02:13:19] <Deucalion> :D
[02:14:06] <crutchy> or wait till my kids are old enough and send them :D
[02:14:29] <Deucalion> When you have had enough - sell the Pad app company for a few millions (as you have sold it into other retail chains by that point).... retire.
[02:14:35] <crutchy> oooh. gewg_ is on fire
[02:14:43] <Bytram> the unintended downside of that technique? If one store keeps its layout relatively stable, and another store changes things around every few months, then I'd prefer to go to the 'stable' store because it saves my time and reduces frustration -- they could charge higher prices that the 'changey' store and I would still pay extra for the stability and convenience that affords me.
[02:15:21] <Deucalion> You might - but others tend to rely on those loyalty card bonuses and the like.
[02:15:32] <crutchy> oh there's a political flamebait story lol
[02:15:38] <Bytram> you mean purchase history tracking cards?
[02:15:48] <crutchy> no wonder he's peddling his socialist dogma
[02:15:49] <Deucalion> that would be the ones.
[02:17:34] <Bytram> MANY years ago, I signed up for one at a new office supply store. That, and one of those warehouse-member-discount-chains. I let both lapse after a few years.
[02:17:57] <Bytram> I'd say that about half of my purchases are paid for with cash instead of plastic.
[02:18:07] <Bytram> No more loyalty cards for me!
[02:18:14] <Deucalion> crutchy, where are you on the political compass? https://www.politicalcompass.org Tis a vaguely interesting 4 axis political thing rather than the more mundane 2 axis :D
[02:18:15] <GW> ^ 03The Political Compass
[02:18:38] <chromas> Are two dimensions enough?
[02:18:46] <Bytram> YES and NO
[02:18:52] <Bytram> does that count?
[02:19:11] <Bytram> I've got another busy day tomorrow and am gonna call it a night.
[02:19:18] <chromas> night
[02:19:19] <Bytram> hope you all have a great night, yourselves!
[02:19:23] <Deucalion> nope. neither are 4. But 4 > 2 at least. Human opinion is a complex thing.
[02:19:38] <Deucalion> Night Bytram, sleep well
[02:19:53] <chromas> we need a compass with a dimension for each thing we can have an opinion about :)
[02:20:22] <Bytram> sounds like an inifinitely-faceted sphere.
[02:20:24] <Deucalion> We could call it the matrix!
[02:20:45] <Bytram> Deucalion: may you sleep well, as well!
[02:20:57] <Bytram> chromas: have a good night!
[02:21:21] * Bytram is reminded of the 1970's TV show: 'The Waltons'
[02:21:24] <crutchy> Deucalion, not sure about that thing, but i'm socially liberal and fiscally conservative

[02:34:35] -!- stderr has quit [Ping timeout: 272 seconds]
[02:37:05] <Deucalion> I tend to land more to the left and little lower. Which is not surprising, I have always had a strong dislike of authority by dictat.
[02:38:09] <crutchy> i think there is a place for limited government, just not the monstrosities that we have now
[02:39:57] <crutchy> governments gradually getting bigger is probably a natural progression though, because those in power love to spend other peoples money
[02:40:02] -!- stderr [stderr!~pohol@GetOffMyLawn/stderr] has joined #Soylent
[02:40:02] -!- mode/#Soylent [+v stderr] by Imogen
[02:41:44] <Deucalion> Which I think is the point that site makes clear if you read around their stuff..... the conflation with left and big state, right with small state as is regularly espoused is utter shite. It is entirely possible to construct a "socialist" small state governance and structure. I enclose socialist in quotes as that word has become meaningless for the purpose of discussion. I prefer humanist :D
[02:47:40] <crutchy> i dunno what humanist means
[02:48:19] <crutchy> i've got nothing against charity. just those who claim to be charitable with other peoples money
[02:48:50] <crutchy> if you wanna be charitable, do it with your own time, labor and money
[02:49:07] <crutchy> otherwise you're not being charitable at all
[02:51:23] <crutchy> the problem with governments being 'charitable' is that those who pay for it don't have any say. voluntary donations to actual charities is different
[02:52:15] <Subsentient> crutchy: I'm for a currency-less society based on a libertarian-socialism, if there can be such a thing.
[02:53:24] <crutchy> barter is awesome. the original idea of currency was merely a tool to make barter more convenient
[02:53:29] <Deucalion> That becomes tricky when you only just earn enough through your labours to put food on the table for your family with nothing left to spare in time or energy terms. You think large established charities do not suffer from corruption and greed? I see no reason to donate to a charity where the CEO is paying themselves £1mill+ per year and living in a delusion that they are doing something good.
[02:54:14] <crutchy> not all charities are good. that's very true. but at least i can choose to give to them or not
[02:54:27] <crutchy> with government there is no choice
[02:54:37] <Subsentient> So, I got banned from Warzone 2100 IRC and almost banned from the lobby server for hosting a game called "Anal Felching Grandma"
[02:54:38] <Subsentient> :^D
[02:55:21] <crutchy> its the same as corporations; for all the negative publicity around corporations, people voluntarily buy their shit, and the government willingly hands over your hard earned taxes to them
[02:55:21] * Subsentient can't help himself
[02:56:12] <Deucalion> crutchy, with near instantaneous communication possible between any individuals on earth... what need for financial instruments such as currency, options, stocks, futures..... the whole thing is a damn illusion that imprisons us.
[02:56:14] * Subsentient also made a map with a goatse tileset
[02:56:35] <Subsentient> People just quit without saying a word as soon as the map loaded...
[02:56:39] <crutchy> the good thing about corporations and charities is that people vote for them everyday. can you imagine how different politicians would be if they faced aan election every day?
[02:57:05] <crutchy> Deucalion, i agree that current financial industry is just a big rort
[02:57:24] <crutchy> but its a rort that's bankrolled by governments and reserve banks
[02:57:38] <Subsentient> $ddg rort
[02:57:39] <aqu4> No results found.
[02:57:42] <crutchy> corporations merely line up for slops
[02:57:50] <crutchy> s/slops/free slops/
[02:57:51] <sedctl> <crutchy> corporations merely line up for free slops
[02:57:56] <Deucalion> The bad thing about corporations is that the slightly more successful ones buyout the less successful until there is no competition - and a new fiefdom occurs.
[02:58:56] <crutchy> corporations (without government assistance) only get big if they have a lot of revenue, which requires a lot of people to voluntarily pay them, which means they are doing things better than their competitors
[02:59:20] <crutchy> the good thing about competition is that if one company sees that another company is doing well, they will mimic it
[02:59:27] <crutchy> aka china vs america
[02:59:42] <Subsentient> aaand patents help to kill that.
[02:59:51] <crutchy> they do
[03:00:10] <crutchy> the US would be so much fairer without the USPTO
[03:01:00] <crutchy> patents and licenses issued by government force are just another way that governments interfere with markets and destroy competition
[03:01:01] <Deucalion> but if a corporation has a lot of wealthy investors they can afford to undersell the market until the competition go out of business... then mop up all that business for themselves. Profit for the investors, cash out when they in turn get undersold by some newling.
[03:01:28] <Deucalion> Note - this is basically a Ponzi scheme....
[03:02:00] <Deucalion> Just a Ponzi scheme on such a grand scale that no-one seems to recognise it as such
[03:02:00] <crutchy> they can, but competition is very powerful. for all the clout that american corporations appear to have (including support from the mighty US treasury), they still can't compete with the chinese
[03:02:28] <crutchy> because chinese labor is cheaper
[03:02:51] <crutchy> american labor is a ripoff, because of unions (backed by government)
[03:02:52] <SirFinkus> and I'm back

[03:03:18] <SirFinkus> gee, thanks

[03:04:05] <Deucalion> how much cash to Apple have stowed away in offshore accounts? (you chose that brand)
[03:04:11] <Deucalion> do*
[03:04:30] <crutchy> samsung is a south korean company, and is drowning apple and microsoft
[03:04:48] <Deucalion> and?

[03:06:52] <Deucalion> why?
[03:06:56] <crutchy> cos its cheaper
[03:07:19] <crutchy> (again, labor costs)
[03:07:44] <Deucalion> relative labour costs - which again all comes back to financial instruments
[03:07:47] <chromas> isn't china cheaper in part because government?

[03:08:46] <crutchy> china seems to be fairly xenophobic
[03:09:00] <crutchy> oh china is manipulating lots of things
[03:09:00] <SirFinkus> oh, related to our conversation 3 hours ago, I just saw a bumper sticker that said eARTh
[03:09:27] <crutchy> the currency war is more of a weapon though i think
[03:09:58] <Deucalion> They were - then an Aus rare earth producer re-opened operations and drove the price back down. Rare earths are not rare at all, just no-pne wants to extract them because the process is horrifically polluting.
[03:10:41] <crutchy> heh. aus is just a big mining colony eh :p
[03:11:39] <crutchy> hopefully that saves our arses when the next financial crisis hits. equities, stocks and bonds will take a dive and commodities will (hopefully) skyrocket
[03:11:45] <chromas> oh yeah, and Hermes got the whole operating running on just one Australian man
[03:11:52] <Deucalion> fuck all else to do with that big open space in the middle between the coasts :P Until we generate global cooling or something then we'll all want to live there :D But it will be polluted to fuck by then thanks to mining @D
[03:12:23] <crutchy> prolly. our chinese masters don't give a fuck about pollution

[05:24:12] <Deucalion> I think the red flags on beaches that denote "here be rocks, best not to surf/swim here because you will be smushed to toothpaste due to rip tides" suffice. Beyond that. leave people to swim where they like even if they ignore the warnings. I think we used to call such things lighthouses.... a blinken thing to warn of danger thereabouts to assist others to avoid being smushed and killed. Somehow that got co-opted from "here be rocks that are a
[05:24:12] <Deucalion> mortal peril" to "this is how you MUST live your life". It used to be we ran lighthouses to keep ships off the rocks because that was good for local trade...... that needed no centralised governance. Just a sensible thing to do really. I slept for too long.

[08:27:54] <anubi> They are supposed to be one of the largest ISP's out there... I thought maybe I was having DNS problems.. but I can't even a result from pinging their numeric address.
[08:28:47] <crutchy> google might be cached or summin?
[08:29:11] <anubi> I submitted a story to Soylent over it. Might be interesting what took them offline. I never got any emails from them over any scheduled maintenance.
[08:30:16] <anubi> I could google for Localnet.com, Google would find it. I would click on the link given by Google. Dead link.
[08:31:02] <anubi> Webmail down, Main web page down. Hosting web page down. Weird.
[08:31:02] <SirFinkus> yeah, that sucks

[08:35:34] <anubi> I have no idea if it is real or fake... that is why I am here on IRC so I can see if others can repeat my findings so far... I have had problems like this before that turned out to be in my own machine.

[08:36:57] <SirFinkus> yeah, probably a temporary issue

[08:39:21] <anubi> Yeh... I used to use their dialup all the time... slowly stopped using it. just kept using the webmail interface .
[08:40:53] <anubi> Thats all I use much from them anymore. I had been using their email for so long I hated to change it because of all the people who were using it to reach me.
[08:41:07] <SirFinkus> should switch to eskimo north

[11:26:53] <SirFinkus> not even fun rain, like thunderstorms
[11:26:53] <TheMightyBuzzard> well yeah, you live in the place where sparkly vampires can hang and not get noticed
[11:27:00] <SirFinkus> just drizzle
[11:27:51] <crutchy> at least there's no mention of a chance of ash
[11:28:28] <TheMightyBuzzard> kay, got me a noobass java book for the kid. should save me a lot of standing over his shoulder.

[11:29:34] <crutchy> pity java isn't procedural

[11:30:10] <TheMightyBuzzard> SirFinkus, i figure i can come up with a few entertaining things for him to code
[11:30:55] <SirFinkus> I'm trying to get back into it (again) having lots of fun with unity
[11:31:18] <SirFinkus> might actually finish my game at some point
[11:32:08] <TheMightyBuzzard> minecraft's mildly amusing for a few weeks. never really exciting though after the first day or two.

[11:35:48] <SirFinkus> last time I had a "team" I ended up doing all the work
[11:36:13] <SirFinkus> and I'm an asshole that wants complete creative control

[11:37:47] <TheMightyBuzzard> with the odd bit of everyone working at the same time near releases
[11:38:03] <SirFinkus> I'll probably need an artist at some point, but first I need to get a prototype going
[11:38:25] <TheMightyBuzzard> oh dude, art takes longer than coding.
[11:38:40] <TheMightyBuzzard> should have had them around from the start
[11:38:47] <SirFinkus> don't know any
[11:39:13] <SirFinkus> my plan was to get a combat prototype up and running, then worry about art
[11:39:19] <TheMightyBuzzard> ya, i know a few but they're not really digital artists
[11:39:47] <SirFinkus> I was going to go ascii, but fuck that
[11:40:11] <TheMightyBuzzard> eight bit style anyone can do
[11:40:28] <TheMightyBuzzard> think NES
[11:40:43] <SirFinkus> actually a bit harder than you'd think, I've tried

[11:52:32] <TheMightyBuzzard> ya, i basically got no hopes for openmw
[11:53:01] <SirFinkus> why's that? they seem to be making good progress
[11:53:24] <TheMightyBuzzard> what year is it?
[11:54:00] <SirFinkus> 2015 I believe, I could be wrong
[11:54:09] <TheMightyBuzzard> i mean fine n dandy they're making progress but it's been like centuries since actual mw was cool n new.
[11:54:55] <SirFinkus> people love morrowind though, and none of the new tes games really stand up
[11:55:04] <TheMightyBuzzard> truth
[11:55:28] <SirFinkus> but basically, openmw is playable right now
[11:55:37] <TheMightyBuzzard> with the exception of i digs me some werewolf action in skyrim
[11:55:42] <SirFinkus> incompatible with some mods still due to morrowind scripting quirks
[11:57:34] <TheMightyBuzzard> fine, ya bastard, i'll try it

[23:06:40] <Chargers_suck> Ah, noted.
[23:08:26] <chromas> Even if they become the majority, it's still not racist because historically, cis-hetero white males were dominant 100% of the time
[23:09:31] <chromas> So there's a football game on and Local Team Franchise isn't doing so well?
[23:10:08] <Chargers_suck> chromas, the chargers never do well. (well, technically they do and then blow all their chances in the playoffs)
[23:10:32] <chromas> it's because you're not subsidizing the new stadium they need to win
[23:10:33] <Chargers_suck> I'm not even watching the games anymore. I was so disgusted by the stadium debacle I stopped watching them.
[23:10:35] <Chargers_suck> Yeah,
[23:10:56] <chromas> Can you pick another team?
[23:11:50] <Chargers_suck> Chargers are family tradition, and the vast majority of my close friends prefer them. I've always liked them because they're an underdog, and it's awesome to see underdogs win or at least pull off good plays.
[23:12:18] <Chargers_suck> The short answer is, yeah, I can, but it would be like being a soldier and defecting to the Russians or Chinese.
[23:13:02] <chromas> ah, sacrilege. heathen!!
[23:13:40] <Chargers_suck> Anybody who frequents Soylent News should appreciate an underdog beating an arch-rival Goliath's ass.

[23:26:23] <Chargers_suck> It's actually a good thing, because its technically fair. Only problem is that Blacks who will put themselves in fighting situations are yoked with muscle and ferocity.
