phf: well, main question is we're shipping in a crate proper, rather
than say, luggage bag, it will be opened. in fact we're playing lottery here with opening, inspecting and
tampering, seal or no seal
mircea_popescu: but i find it a great cranktopic
to crank in mind. if for no other reason
than because it's probably
the ancient invention of seal
that we owe
technology
to
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
the innovation is
that you cut some of
the loops.
mircea_popescu: but you melt glass (acetylene burner, not
the end of world), laser burn
the pattern into receiving fiber caught inside. seal blanks would look like old style fuses basically
a111: Logged on 2017-09-14 03:18 asciilifeform: clever, seems
to use unique rf characteristics of a random wire hairball
mircea_popescu: actually, microfiber in glass may work as a modern seal. expensive as all fuck and not at all contemplated for
this application
mircea_popescu: but not
the shape of your 2nd concubine's clitoral hood or w/e you use
phf: your ring as applied
to wax
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform get
the girl
to film
that, now
THAT is quality entertainment content.
mircea_popescu: it will become a sort of reference item over
time i suspect.
mircea_popescu: not even necessarily photo, a simple "here is what we have, COMPLETE specs ; and what we probably might want
to ~EVER~ get".
☟︎☟︎ a111: Logged on 2017-11-09 18:40 asciilifeform: i have currently 3 boxen for pilot plant. all 3 contain 32cores of 'opteron 6376'. 2 of
them contain 256M of ram; 1 currently has 24G ( can hold up
to 256 ). each has 2 x G/sec nics, 2 x (reduntant) 700W ps .
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform merits absolutely, giving
that
there is a whole raft of future reference looking at a spark point in
the past.
mircea_popescu: this dribbling of bits and pieces is set
to become
the principal enemy of
the republic in
terms of how much damage it does.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform rather, can i get out of you a post with what
there is ; and what
there can be had reasonably (out of
the very narrow set of reasonable gear anyway)\
mircea_popescu: i
think since we're doing
this let's do it right, so get it an 8 cable card all sat down. what boards were
these i forget ?
mircea_popescu: of course you
two could also fly independently and meet
there for mini bbisp conference
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes conceivably could fedex
to phf once
this is sealed ?
ben_vulpes: i live in possibly one of
the worst places
to
travel from, but i've got
two servers for
the foundation sitting on my office floor i gotta get down
there as well, so if asciilifeform's rotrip delay is
that much sand in
the gears i can make
the run
to uruguay
mircea_popescu: 11 days should be enough for alf
to bake
the boxes i expect. danielpbarron i
think he's better suited as
they're right next
to each other ; but pending discussion with bb can you fedex some pogos ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: phf you can also book with a day+ layover in panama on your way back. for one
thing you get
to see
the place and despise panama for good reason rather
than by hearsay ; for
the other flight over here is ~1hr ~every hour.
☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: i'm picking up your flight if you're putting in
the sweat.
phf: 13h flight, yeah
that's basically indian
territory, so makes sense for
the price.
phf: really anything is cheaper
than u.s. intermediate city relay. my favorite is nyc moscow $600, dc moscow (through nyc) $1600
mircea_popescu: copa is cheap-ish and pretty good ;
the rest are gringo airlines doing dumb shit like hubbing
through us cities. which makes your voyage split 3/10 rather
than 5-7 or so
☟︎ mircea_popescu: they generally connect you
through panama, which is not bad for your case, middle of
the way
phf: well, sometimes if you have
to
travel with, like, farmers
transporting
their goats and such, it can be a reasonable price in return
mircea_popescu: see what coppa has
to say ?
they generally have sub 1k 2 weeks out sorta
thing.
danielpbarron: i just need
to be in court whenever
they say, don't know a date yet
phf: dc all airports
to montevideo LATAM, Avianca, also
the usual pick of american, united, etc. looked at flights.goog. i suspect
there's some indirect hop from southern u.s. but flight
there within u.s. from dc is not going
to be cheap ("going
to warm places vacation season")
danielpbarron: i'm about
to move
to oklahoma, waiting
to hear back from lawyer regarding a reckless driving charge before
that.
phf: fwiw, i could pick up ascii's stuff and go next week even, but
the flights are ~~$1200, which i don't have a budget for at
the moment.
mircea_popescu: and re
the "use ips" : very cheap solution is
to run bitcoin nodes, i'm
told.
those evidently can't share ips.
mircea_popescu: also related, BingoBoingo if he brings you pogos, how do you plan
to use ? decase and mount in an ad-hoc
thing, 8-10-12
to
the u ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform incidentally intel sayz good links
to sa are all from miami/ft lauderdale etc ; not so much ny.
mircea_popescu: getting
to meet other lord for 1st
time always worth something.
mircea_popescu: more practically, how does ride over
to wash dc, leave car in deep parking, get alf's boxes, fly over
to bb, come back, extract your car go home sound ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform am i decoding
this incorrectly or are you saying
that we will be paying ~at least~ one month of rent on an unused rack ?!
mircea_popescu: this
trip she got
to ride around in one ; and found out
that
the ambassador's official representation car is exactly her mark and mode ; except made in mexico not imported from bayerische krankenwerk directly.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: when we originally met, many moons ago, hanbot was very impressed with my casual "diplomatic car ? of course i've ridden around in one". in her girly days
this had seemed like
the crux of cool, you know, "wanna gimme a
ticket ? send it
to bucharest."
phf: special material
that mp runs on
that has a byproduct of robbing others of agency, see also superman
mircea_popescu is a man with a 90 day visa on a 25 days remaining
temporary passport and without an id since... 2014 ? 2013 ?
mircea_popescu: anyway, buy
tickets so we have something definite, and say.
a111: Logged on 2018-02-02 20:21 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform when's your visit
there scheduled ?
