mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes,
the reason it was done
this way originally was not a price consideration but forced societal insertion.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, afaik
there isn't anywhere a complete list of specified versioning for
trb, nor ever was.
ben_vulpes: ah shit i didn't even
think about apartment as bunk + cowork replacement augh i'm so dumb
mircea_popescu: yeah prolly about
time he gets himself a bachelor pad. gotta be able
to entertain
the local cunt in style.
a111: Logged on 2018-05-02 01:22 asciilifeform: ben_vulpes, mod6 , plox
to put
the matter ^ before board.
mircea_popescu: well, good
thing you gave him a raise, just as
this
thing became one helluva anklet.
☟︎ a111: Logged on 2015-04-06 03:03 mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski old joke, americans ask russians how do
they keep discovering
their secret agents. "you could
try not sending black people..."
mircea_popescu: the sort of guy who
thinks like
this also imagines
the only reason he's not running an uruguay dc is because he didn't feel like
trying, not because he doesn't have
the juice in him
to do it if he had a
thousand years and
the fed's own paper account at his disposal.
mircea_popescu lulz at
the poor misfortunate cia strike
team, belabouring in montevideo under
the usual
threat of "you never fucking know where
that nut put a sleeper
to shoot you in
the face" and
then stuck paying dollar-for-dollar import duty on all
their spurious gear
that doesn't even work AND
THEN having
to find a fucking spoke lost in
transit locally and
taking
three weeks
to still not do it.
mircea_popescu: nothing easier
than
to expose
the magic in magic
thinking.
mircea_popescu: anyway,
the logic in 'why didja put it in UY, bw costs 4x moar
than in usa and cia will still steal yer iron eventually' is pretty amusing. "doesn't it stand
to your reasoning
that 'cia will steal eventually' is 16x as expensive for
the same reason bw costs 4x as much ? if not, why not ?"
mircea_popescu: to sell it has
to be sold. no use
trying anything else.
to have clean sheets you must do a load, and
to have sold items you must sell
them.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, rather
the opposite problem : a stubborn refusal
to properly sell fg has beheaded a few folk.
mircea_popescu: we're kinda only interested in
the sort of heathen
that's interested in veblen goods anyway.
the collectivist-equalitarianist among
them isn't worth anyone's
time.
trinque: the crabs-in-bucket mechanism
that says "why do anything against
the empire, satan will X anyway"
trinque tried
to find
the "and anyway" mechanism as discussed in logs, found naught

thought about
this and yes i want it quite badly
a111: Logged on 2018-05-03 23:08 asciilifeform:
trinque: really, you'd use a search box where you gotta log in, keep cookies, etc ?
a111: Logged on 2018-05-01 21:44 mircea_popescu: it occurs
to me
that ~for
the first
time~ in
the history of computing, we have hardware capable of on
the fly rsa-ing.
a111: Logged on 2018-05-03 23:07 asciilifeform has been racking brain
to
think of 'how
to make pizarro hot in heathendom', so far no earthshaking breakthrough
mircea_popescu: "full"
text search is a misnomer, even.
there's ways
to construct conceptual search
that anyone who's spent any
time with dyslexic children intimately understands. words occur
together in
their own wot.

trinque: asciilifeform: lobbes has his archival effort underway. iirc mircea_popescu had a
thread with him on exactly
this
lobbes: But yeah, as it stands now all I got is 50gb of downloaded-from-archive.is sitting on a ssd and a search of
the url strings only
lobbes: I know ASTifying will be a goal. Full
text search of contents idem
lobbes will read and digest all
thoughts re: "how
to best go about
tr00 republican archive"
ben_vulpes: and yes i have
thought about
this and yes i want it quite badly
☟︎ ben_vulpes: mp solved
this in
trilema aeons ago; pay some bitcents get a cookie
trinque: or ircbot which responds
to queries in pm
trinque: author could just as well publish a commandline util from which I query
the archive, and it barfs up links I use in
the browser
trinque: I'll leave
the "how" of auth aside for now, and just point out
that I
tolerate
the same "loginism" here,
to great benefit
a111: Logged on 2018-01-22 04:54 mircea_popescu: lobbes implement a (paid) full
text search, you'll be ahead of archive.is, amazon's webarchive and EVERYONE else.
trinque: aha,
that was
the idea iirc

☟︎ diana_coman: cool, I'll just set
the
time and otherwise at reboot I'll check at least, just in case
mod6: Don't be like me, set your system
time, first
thing, diana_coman.
☟︎ diana_coman: ben_vulpes, asciilifeform can use
the rockchip straight away and
then plug in
the fg when ready, yes
deedbot: Invoiced diana_coman 0.02719567 << rockchip and fg
through august 4th, 2018
deedbot: Invoiced mod6 0.01145837 << fg
through april 2019
ben_vulpes: mod6: gonna invoice you for
the same
term as your rockchip unless you object
douchebag: Oh yeah I know, I'll be getting
to
that. I'll start writing
the report right after I get of call with
this customer
trinque: compiling
the public information on a handful of packages really oughtn't be insurmountable
mod6: <+ben_vulpes> mod6: sure, i hear
that we don't have with what
to hook
them up yet
tho <<
totally alright, just kinda
trying
to reseve my fg.
trinque is pretty patient, but
things such as ^ are mechanical.
trinque: douchebag: I did put a negrate on
the scales if I don't get
that report. we had a wager after all.
