trinque: asciilifeform: awaiting

the quote, will let all know
trinque: anyhow, just
trying
to help haggle. who doesn't like
to squeeze
the vendors

http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-19#1773051 << where did i say 'bw is free' or
that i compare with spam vps ?
trinque posted a heathendom figure of 700 (
trinque can answer when he wakes up , for what bw, i presume 100/100 ) for comparison.
trinque: but you're welcome
to say "trinque is interested in renting rackspace
through me. why was he given a different quote?"

http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/yVbXl/?raw=true <-- most of it is config.sub and config.guess.
two lines at
the end may fix shinohai's
troubles. anyway, I'ma post
the whole
thing (w3m+gc+js+whatever else) once I manage
to do a static build.
BingoBoingo: Will do, and I will check
to see if
these numbers are 22% VAT inclusive or if I missed
that again.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo dun worry about it ; sign
the contract, explain about
the cash, all is well. what gear did you have physically present i forget ?
BingoBoingo: I have seen
the hall,
the rack,
the UPS, etc. Will meet with
them and make sure nothing has been overlooked.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo yeah, a) go sign contract ; b) did you actually get
to see our rack yet ? if not now's
the
time
to insist ; c) explain
to
them
that money's coming in coming week one way or another, iirc
they understand why ?
BingoBoingo: I will let
the datacenter know we are moving forward with
the whole rack 20/200 asymmetric.
mircea_popescu: aite, anyone wanna do
the above 3.5k wire and pocket
the bitcoin implied by current lulzexchange ? before i give it
to rando latino via bb's meatwot.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform:
That is
the same provider. In
the numbers
they are sending me 700 is 1/2 rack and no connectivity.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform so you're here managing
trinque's quotes ?
a111: Logged on 2018-01-19 06:37 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform dude... first off you're looking at symmetrical for some reason, nfi why, second off no bw is free, contrary
to what "cheap vps" outfits might've advertised
to you and
thirdly didn't we do
this a few
times before already ?
mircea_popescu: eh, it's unlikely
they do it any other way. alright
then, so
the draft plan here is, get
the rack, 900 + 900, and
the 20/200 option
to start with, for a
total of $3223 payable i ncash which you can actually raise by going in
the local market ?
BingoBoingo: "yes server can send 10
times more
than recive." << Going
to have
to make sure
they include
this language in
the contract.
shinohai: Gotta keep
those private keys locked up
BingoBoingo: I am asking if it is a
typo, awaiting response.
mircea_popescu: so either i'm misunderstanding some4thing or
there's a
typo in
this post : 20/200 mbps (downlink/uplink) ie
the server can RECEIVE 10
times as much as it can SEND ?
this is backwards from practice.
BingoBoingo: The bank situation looks like it will continue
to suck until a local id is in hand
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo well ok, and what came of
the bank sweep ?
shinohai: Been a long
time since I've been around motorbikes, but yes.
BingoBoingo: <shinohai> Heh, curious you mention
that about
tires, never
thought of it until now mircea_popescu, but bicycle wheels are
the only place you can still get an inner
tube afaik. << bicycles, motorcycles, plenty more places.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> BingoBoingo: how many datacentres in uruguay ? what % have you spoken
to ? << Others have international (i.e. US) presence
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> BingoBoingo what's
the
trade situation
there, can you get a pile of cash for btc locally ? << Looks like it. At
the very worst a boat ride
to sufficient liquidity.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform dude... first off you're looking at symmetrical for some reason, nfi why, second off no bw is free, contrary
to what "cheap vps" outfits might've advertised
to you and
thirdly didn't we do

☟︎ a111: Logged on 2017-11-17 04:55 asciilifeform: i can picture
the backroom convo, 'hey how many zeros can we glue
to
the gringo's price'
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo what's
the
trade situation
there, can you get a pile of cash for btc locally ?
mircea_popescu: hey,
they paid me i dun recall how many mns exactly
to fuck
their mit boobs, what's another fraction.
a111: Logged on 2018-01-18 14:57 asciilifeform: 'The United States federal government has paid approximately half a million dollars
to a private corporation
to help various agencies conduct surveillance on
the Bitcoin blockchain' << pretty lulzy,
that's, e.g., 3 janitors, 2 clerks, 1 intern, for 1yr
mircea_popescu: so how do
they explain stephen, afaik he's like, object of cult
there.
mircea_popescu: the insanity of using
two different letters for
the exact same item ... but anyway.
mircea_popescu: thje logical step was
to just get rid of it altogether.
a111: Logged on 2016-08-03 15:40 phf:
the whole font changes meaning
take
two is coming from
the japanese.
they were actively promoting
this idea back during early unicode standardization days, where
there was a strong drive
to include every idiosyncratic version of kanji in
the standard, because "that's how my family writes it in our last name".
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform damn,
tyou got it backwards. ~î~ is
to
turn into
the previously never used â inside words. (previously, only usage of â was for România. but rather
than JUST
TAKE
THE DAMNED
THING OUT ALTOGETHER
they ... contrived
to "make use")
mircea_popescu: "so as
tyo make it moar latin". as fucking if, and etcetera.
mircea_popescu: i had no idea
this is how you say horse gallop in russian. it's same in romanian
too!
mircea_popescu: nepenthe, you know,
the one item
that was ever in
true demand.
mircea_popescu: onward hops
the plastic horse, and
there's a circle of dirt under its feet on
the wooden square...
mircea_popescu: it's a very
third worldy
thing,
to want
to be
the sad horse
turning around
the peg. so much so
they actually sell
this insanity here, as
toys.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yes, one is good and
the other not so good. no argument.
mircea_popescu: but yes, once
they invested in
the aproiori fixed point,
they can only walk around
the room.
mircea_popescu: or, for
that matter, fg. it's how it fucking works, on, off, on...
a111: Logged on 2018-01-19 02:22 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform no, he's evidently not useful. but he's not a logic gate, either. he's certainly not human.
the fundamental identification/classification of "i will deliver result X
through randomly chosen path each
time" is... rng. at least
to my mind.
mircea_popescu: speaking of which, recently /me introduced briefly phuctor
to whitebeard, mentioned bernstein smooth integers speedup, got very confused headshake and an invitation
to point
to where did
this wonder happen ?! in s. n. bernstein book. "not
that one, a newer one, american" "oh."
mircea_popescu: whereas most serious math people of my generation are from
topology and
the rest of
the doomed attempts
to resurect
the beauty of geometry.
mircea_popescu: can prolly
tell by
the very functional-analytic and numeric methods bent ; and by
the set-theoretic underlying representations.
a111: Logged on 2018-01-17 22:29 asciilifeform: aha. mircea_popescu also at one
time was a maths man.
mircea_popescu: possibly also i'm like... hey, i recall
this idiocy from 2012, seriously rando just discovered bitcoin
today, is retracing 2012 with all
the ingenuity of virgin at
the altar ? how fucking endearing, /sarcasm
