The process of getting between you and an intermediary in the name of getting intermediaries out of the way. Recruiters intermediate by getting in between of employers and job seekers for a fee. Disintermediation of the job market would get the recruiters out of the picture. Interdisintermediation is getting between you and a recruiter in the name of getting recruiters out of the picture.
In theory LinkedIn should help me find my next job directly but nothing happened until I paid them a fee. Then I got flooded with spam from recruiters. Great job at interdisintermediation.

Get the subroutine mug.Notnomic was created by people who want to explore different forms of governance because although Nomic was originally invented by philosopher Peter Suber for that purpose, the discussion had become idiotic. Although (as of 2019) that hasn't happened to Notnomic yet, Nomicisists predict it will by the end of the 2020 election cycle, and if Trump is reelected for a third term in 2024, they expect Notnomic to be outlawed.
Note: Mathematical purists refer to the game as Aleph-Naught Nomic so as to make it clear that the game has a “countably infinite” number of turns in contrast to irrationally infinite number of turns. Regardless, Aleph-Naught Nomic's not Nomic.

Carol: I've rolled a 3. That makes the score for the Democrats 142,311,102 vs. 142,311,099 for the Republicans. I propose that we get rid of the filibuster. May we have a vote?
Ted: I've rolled a 5. That gives me the floor. First, I would like to point out that as a representative of the great state of Alabama, which joined the union on the fourteenth of December in, 1819, and which – if my math serves me right – is more than 100 years ago – has, I might add, the best primary school mathematics teachers in this great Union, who I will propose in forthcoming legislation that we honor by making ...

Get the proximate mug.E - means “everything” or more specifically, “Assume I’ve just told you everything you could possibly learn about me by other means and there is nothing more I might want to say.” The shortest possible conversation starter and ender. Saves considerable time and it deserves to be widely adopted.
Entomology: Before there was texting there was telegraphy. To save time, Morse code operators created abbreviations. For example: CQ means “Does anyone want to talk to me,” DE means “From,” OP means “operator,” QTH means “my location is,” and K means “over” (your turn to transmit).
In Morse a “dot” is three times as long as a “dash.” The shortest letter is “E” which is a single dot. The number 0 is “_ _ _ _ _”, 9 is “_ _ _ _ .” and 1 is “. _ _ _ _” so if a number was expected in context, then “cut letters” were substituted. For example Zero became “T” (a single dash), 9 became N (_ .) and 1 became. The area code 901 could be sent as NTA.

Before the internet, a Morse code conversation between two amateur radio operators might go like this:
CQ DE WB6ACU K (WB6ACU wants to see if anyone wants to talk to him)
WB6ACU DE N6YOS K (N6YOS says she would like to. This is followed by a preliminary exchange of names and locations before much else is said.)
N6YOS DE WB6ACU OP IS JOE QTH IS STUDIO CITY CA K
WB6ACU DE N6YOS OP IS PRISCILLA QTH IS NASHVILLE TN K
But now with the internet, you can google any call sign and learn everything there is to know about anyone, so a more efficient way communicating goes like this:
CQ DE WB6ACU K
AB6ACU DE N6YOS K
N6YOS DE WB6ACU E K
WB6ACU DE N6YOS E K
… at this point both operators are free to see if anyone else wants to talk to them...
