this doozy : i will not use any of your shit now.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: i
tell you
to do x, you do non-x,
then whine about not being in
the loop.
then learn nothing from
the experience, ready
to do it all over again
mircea_popescu: how exactly is
this miswired mess of a nonbrain work ?
mircea_popescu: you're like, untalkable
to. "do you need pictures ?" "no, i said spec" "ok, ima dump it in chan" "NO I SAID DO NOT DUMP IT IN FUCKING CHAN"
mircea_popescu: what
the fuck happened
to
the blog post motherfucking hell
ben_vulpes: BingoBoingo: get a read on how
they calculate
tax for items in opened envelopes yet?
BingoBoingo: I have not been
there, but how many disks are you going
to fit in an envelope before it starts looking like a package?

That is coming with my webserver project
ben_vulpes: hah mircea_popescu did break

BingoBoingo: This country between December and March hosts more
tourists
than it has people living here.
BingoBoingo: Only so much of
the population is capable of working as a pinoy+,
the competent authorities here are keenly aware
that everything
they have here is because of
tourist expenditures.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Everything
that comes in Fedex/DHL seems
to get inspected at customs here. Customs here seems
to focus on how
things enter
the country. If it is fedex/dhl
they figure it is prolly a local
they can
tax on
their amazon purchase. If it is in a suitcase it is assumed
to be
the holy relic of a sacred
tourist and
thusly undisturbed.
shinohai: Soon, BingoBoingo .... I have a relapse of
the flu curse wafting around here.
jhvh1: BingoBoingo:

mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo i figure should prolly enact an expense account for you, looking
through
these ledgers. how's 20 bux a day sound ?
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> btw BingoBoingo , what's a 'CoWork' ? << An office arrangement where
they set you up with an address suitable for local fiscal reporting. Lotta outsourced remote workers here, many of
the better locals I have encountered. Place
to do actual work,
the hostel isn't equiped
to accomodate
that.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> aww poor bb lost weight! how you holding up down
there ? << It beats
the US, but
the better my spanish gets
the less impressed I am with
the locals.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> BingoBoingo in
the end, did you get prices from anyone
that weren't utterly ridiculous, 2x internets ? << Not for shit
that isn't lowest common denominator consumer boxes.
The datacenter forwarded a spreadsheet SuperMicro sent
them with prices for
two boxes in quantities up
to 20 a piece
today. Missing was any information on what
the fuck
the boxes were. Super Micro included model numbers
that don't resolve
to anything
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo in
the end, did you get prices from anyone

mircea_popescu: are you going
to push me into missing phf's deadline here ?
mircea_popescu: hey, i'm not saying
they're credible, or at least competent at lying. you asked for
the #.
mircea_popescu: JohnBaku: devilheart Sorry everyone for
this, big booboo on our side! :-( No excuses.
mircea_popescu: sell as little as you need within 10% of
the ath and you'll be fine.

the fiat you have, i dun see selling at
these joek prices as sane.

☟︎ BingoBoingo: One person could summon $500 and
the others on prodding would have been lucky
to summon
twice
that in pesos.
BingoBoingo: I misjudged
the capacity
that doesn't involve
taking
the boat
to Buenos Aires.
a111: Logged on 2018-01-11 17:02 mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo so what's
the plan here, drop upon
the dc with brown paper bag fulla cash ?
BingoBoingo: Right now I am waiting and still asking people if
they want coffee
BingoBoingo: So far,
the other people advertising on local BTC last I checked were skittish. Will
try
to make some more
trade dates, but
the OKcupid
thing pre-mike_c seemed like an easier way
to meet people
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo you managed
to sell 4 out of 25 cents somehow ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
they dun wanna DO anything ;
they just wanna LOOK A CERTAIN WAY.
mircea_popescu: well...
turns out
that
they burn great, in
the medieval sense :
they smoke now. entirely unusable in dainty 21th century "colonial style" house awash in whitewash.
mircea_popescu: but,
think i, i've
this nice cm
thick natural linen rope for
the girls, how about i use knife
to cut new hole and replace mm wick with cm wick ?
mircea_popescu: and in
today's "engineering's not my calling" : i have some nice
thick candles, which no longer burn because
the
thread-thin wicks
they came with aren't strong enough
to melt
the whole
thickness and as a result
they get drowned in melted wax.

the problems with "expensive, upscale" coasters :
they're not a square of cut up cork, like you'd expect if
they were you know, uncivilised, unglamorous, un-internet-of-things orcfare. no.
they're a
thin strip of cork glued
to cardboard with some shiny drawings on
top.
mircea_popescu: heh.
this oddly reminds me of my expensive imported coasters
mircea_popescu: and if nothing else,
the abandonment of
the pretense
to picking winners in
the space, "this is
the official usg altcoin" bullshit seems
to me sufficient proof
they're ~out of steam.
mircea_popescu: being
the empire in
this game very much has a cost, by heller und pfenning. erry day
they gotta pay.
mircea_popescu: who paid for, eg,
the actual coins i got selling
their bch
thing, santa ?
mircea_popescu: basically, usg got what, 3-5k bitcoin, which it keeps sloshing back and forth
to itself on closed "exchange"
tripod websites ?
trinque: bitcoin's dead everyone, nothing
to see here.
trinque: usg wants
to sell me sub $1k coin,
that's just fine by me. lets go
