purr: perfect application of trololol. approval.
<eligrey>
i'm basically your age
<eligrey>
except better
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
lol. wat.
<eligrey>
old=bad
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
old=good
<eligrey>
less likelyhood of living until we have brain uploading = more likelyhood of dying permanently

sighs
<eligrey>
i'm going to waste all of my money on gene therapy getting rid of my apoe3 gene lol
<eligrey>
so i dont go crazy when im old
<eligrey>
s/waste/responsibly spend/
<eligrey>
i love the Genetic Information Nondiscrmination Act
<eligrey>
i don't have to give a shit about mentioning apoe3 on your publicly logged channel
<eligrey>
ELLIOTTCABLE: you're in chicago right?
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
wat
<eligrey>
other than less pollution, how do you like it compared to SF?
<eligrey>
because you know you can get quality hepa filters for your house and car in SF so the smog isn't that bad
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
care little about the clouds of smog, I just hate the clouds of smug
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
sf people are my least fucking favourite people.
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
or rather, s/people/culture/g
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
because like half my friends live somewhere in that shithole of a state
<eligrey>
but there are sooo many, just find the group that jives with you
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
but they're almost all very, very unhappy there, and are getting out as soon as they get their <insert economic pipe dream here>
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
i.e. “I'm gonna move to denver and start my own company as soon as we get bought” or “I want to live in Alaska but I need to build my nest-egg first” or “I'd love to live in New York or Chicago or Vancouver, but the jobs in my field just don't exist outside of the bay area” or …
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
etcetcetc
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
I just won't touch that shithole of a life with a ten-foot pole.
<eligrey>
yeah i'm going there for jobs too
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
yep
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
if I end up there it's only if I get offered money to build programming languages, basically.
<eligrey>
ELLIOTTCABLE: is their primary motivation to leave money though?
<eligrey>
if you /own/ a house in sf it's not as bad i would assume
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
which is basically … Mozilla. Because I hate Go, and I hate Java; Dart's dead; and I hate every dev-tooling product that's come out of Microsoft for a long, long time … and Google doesn't have enough control over TC39 as far as I can see for me to make a meaningful dent in JavaScript's direction, working for them … and those are the only players that
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
pay for lang work
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
so it's Rust or bust, I guess. and Rust is waaaaaay harder-core than I have the skillset and knowledge for, or even the interest, for that matter; so that's hella unlikely.
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
maybe after I get some graduate schooling in mathematics and theoretical CS? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
<eligrey>
i'm more motivated to try out rust than paws though
<eligrey>
actually i remember like 4 years ago i tried paws
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
those are so compleeeeetely unrelated that it's almost funny
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
it's like Haskell vs. Rust
<eligrey>
i dont remember what i did in it though
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
no, actually, it's like Scheme vs. Rust
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
the same reason I want nothing to do with it.
<eligrey>
hm, depends on the startup but i get your point
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
no, it really, really doesn't
<eligrey>
btw what is your company?
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
shut the fuck *up* about runways and acquisitions and capital and
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
just go goddamn Build A Thing™.
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
Pinboard is literally the only person out there I see doing it remotely right. -_-
<eligrey>
do you have a sole proprietorship / llc / corp / s-corp?
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
like, the fact that you even ask that, is so fucking what I am talking about
<eligrey>
well the first one is sorta implicit
<eligrey>
if you answer freelancer
<eligrey>
i'm not asking that in response to anything you've said
<eligrey>
i'm just interested in what kind of stuff you've 'started up'
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
lol. paws. anything before that is immaterial.
<purr>
lol.
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
and for that matter, rather private.
<eligrey>
anything other than investments that makes you passive income?
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
when was the last time you saw me talk about my work in here? :P
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
in fact, fuck, I think there's a factoid about it from like 2001
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
-find work
<purr>
ELLIOTTCABLE: Found: abstractsingletonproxyfactorybean, -_-, russfrank, working, and flamewar
<eligrey>
you literally only talk about paws
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
-flamewar
<purr>
ELLIOTTCABLE: alexgordon’s starting a flamework up in heah
<eligrey>
-working
<purr>
eligrey: The channel is currently focused on a task. Please, for once, stay on-topic; at least until the project at hand is complete.
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
well, historically … Paws, sex, alcohol, and feelings
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
but yep
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
mostly Paws.
<eligrey>
so i guess you live off stock investments and stuff?
<eligrey>
wish i had enough from that
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
oh ugh there's a thing
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
if you find out down the road, you will give me *so* much shit
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
I just know it
<eligrey>
lol are you talking about a company you inherited?
<eligrey>
you mentioned your family money a bunch many years ago
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
There's a hell of a lot I keep off the Internet; I keep a pretty intense way firewall between my Internet life and offline life, but I just feel like there's no way this doesn't get out >,<
* eligrey
searches business filings for elliott cable
<eligrey>
now i'm interested
<eligrey>
ELLIOTTCABLE probably doesn't own a delaware llc or corp
<eligrey>
probably
<eligrey>
i'm also bad at this
<eligrey>
the us govt should make it easier to do country-wide owner searches
<eligrey>
the official delaware.gov sites dont let me search by registered agent :|
<eligrey>
either
<eligrey>
ELLIOTTCABLE: can i at least get the industry? online services?
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
...
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
lord in heaven, man
<eligrey>
