mircea_popescu: actually, she got excited, was gonna help the boys get out of idiocy, but then she didn'
t manage and never came back.

t remember a settled term for spear chuckers. Kalash's are sufficiently in circulation that literal spear chucking isn'
t much of a thing anymore. We do rip on societies here that remain pre-spearchucking in development like the Italians though.

mircea_popescu: much like europe nearly drowned in the mongol invasion ; but europe very much wasn'
t inca, but polar opposite.
mircea_popescu: but yes, they thought they're the bees' knees', got wiped by the ~marginal~ elements of an onslaught. they weren'
t even fucking central.
mircea_popescu: look up its history sometime, it's instructively amusing. (no, "progress" and "change" and blablabla avatars of rooseveltian socialism aren'
t in any sense NOVEL. they're fucking ancient, reversion to pre-literate society.)
BingoBoingo: It's possible. I picked up an impermeable jacket so drizzle isn'

http://btcbase.org/log/2015-11-11#1321780 but it seems like you are using it for more and I can'
t tell if it's "minimal weapon that lets you climb out of swords and spear warfare" or if its "battle tested solidly reliable"
☝︎ mircea_popescu: it's not so much that "the shelves are empty". it's that the shelves aren'
t worth filling. not for these dorks.
fettiffany: Could you write me correctly? I don'
t understand that jargon
fettiffany: oh.. i see.. but i don'
t have nothing to do with bitcoins so.. hahaha
mod6: And I don'
t think it's whatever USD. Per the conversation it's $5000 USD worth of BTC right?

lobbes: This I am not sure of. My gut says a small percentage of each sale, but I've no idea what constitutes a "standard percentage" here. I am also a) inexperienced in sales, and b) motivated on the basis that the tmsr crisis isn'

mircea_popescu: pretty interesting device in light of how the current empire works. it's a wonder they didn'
t discover "it wasn'
t hillary that lost, but a different hydra of the same name"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, anyway, i ended up with a lot of cuneiform syllabusing because check this out : the principal trick of darius was to pretend the person he deposed ~wasn'
t~, actually, the person they claimed to be. ie, nebuchadnezzar morphed to an impostor (Nedintu-something), bardiya (brother of legitimate persian king) was really "gaumata" etc etc.

trinque: I don'

mircea_popescu: i don'

mircea_popescu: i thought he was just done explaining how he didn'

mircea_popescu: imo the former is a bad move. the 2nd is nb, but meh. someone will go steal someone's popsicle and random posturing dork will go "conspiracy!!!" and i won'

mod6:
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-05-18#1815181 << it occurs to me that my statmens re surprises are unwarrented. i had only remembered the 1BTC in feb of 19, i somehow entirely forgot the other 7500 a part. so wasn'
t a surprise, just something that i somehow blocked out.

ben_vulpes: i disqualified some others for ~zero activity in the past two years, but haven'
t ruled out hostsearch or warriorforum yet
BingoBoingo: <mod6> Can I get your assurances that this won'
t come up again for a long time, at least a year or ever? We're just dumping cash. And we're not going to be in business long at all. << You have my assurance. This discussion was started in Februay had been tabled without activity since then. Hence reviving it when we have a path to get to where we need to be, but before we get another infusion of iron down here.

mod6: I do think we should get an apt for him, I've stayed in hostels before and I can'
t imagine staying there for 6 months.
BingoBoingo: <ben_vulpes> BingoBoingo: am i crazy in trying to push for an apartment for you? << You aren'
t but the monthly expense of an apartment isn'
t so different from the hostel+cowork.
ben_vulpes: gotta figure a) whether the apartment thing is crazy for some reason i don'
t understand b) structure for next years incentive
ben_vulpes: mod6: haven'
t settled on next year's incentive payment yet
BingoBoingo: mod6: I didn'
t object to the 2 part split.
mod6: That I can understand. But I don'
t want to give you 7500 to go and spend on hookers and blow.
mod6: It's worrying to me that I offered to pay this 7500 out over the next year, which doesn'
t seem to excite you, then I offered to pay some now, some in 90 days, that's not taking either it seems.
BingoBoingo: <ben_vulpes> yeah in re the apartment, BingoBoingo you want to live in the dorms forever or why wasn'
t that in your ask << It's something I am flexible on.

t work ; but doesn'
t work ellaborately and expensively)
ben_vulpes: hostingdiscussion.com at least has a user-enumerable db, but i don'
t know if an automated approach would get pizarro blacklisted, or even if we care, right? can make another account and pick up where left off.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: They asked me to put forward an idea. It isn'
t the best idea, but it one that makes the idea of continuing to stomach life in a country populated by a people I hate and who are culturally programmed to piss me off. I would like them to structure something they can afford instead of biting on this proposal.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo, obviously people working at something should pick the rewards of their work. what i don'
t get is why are you formulating this split in absolute rather than relative terms ?
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> BingoBoingo, why do you suspect pizarro can pay something like that ? << The idea is that there is a path for pizarro to get revenue. If pizarro can´
t afford something closer to that than the current arrangement, I suspect they can'
t afford to keep someone in Uruguay.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> ( with parts, the fact that they have to arrive in the country with either 300% tax , or in submarine, or up an arse, at least partly explains. but why there are ~no sane accounting folx , remains puzzler ) << Now in May there appear to be better options accessible than in december, but they don'
t have languages other than Spanish in their toolkit.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> so wait, these are separate items ? << They are, to get the cedula you have to start the residency process, but it doesn'
t need to be compeltely decided upon.
BingoBoingo: ben_vulpes: A UY corp would be an actual corp. What I have now, as discussed previously is a unipersonal, essentially I am a registered person doing business. This means what I do as the Unipersonal is all personal liability. Corps can receive all kinds of incoming transactions that aren'
t necessarily "income".
ben_vulpes: BingoBoingo: won'
t a second uy corp just incur more taxes, and then more more taxes when it exceeds the low tax regime hole?
mimisbrunnr: Logged on 2018-05-17 14:40 mircea_popescu: what is behind comments like
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-05-16#1814037, "I moved more recently than this fellow and I'll get my id after he does" ? "I don'
t, properly speaking, think bb is a person, at least not in the same sense / to the same degree I am" ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform because "white man" aka esltard won'
t learn fucking languages, or leave "the country" ie zone. and when he does, he takes care to first arm self with such impenetrable armor of shit-for-brains as to practically make no possible difference to anyone.
mircea_popescu: didn'
t you end up with all sorts of industrial gear, on the cheap ? and what did you say about it, "not in jungle", yes ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, isn'
t this what goes into eg digicams ?
mircea_popescu: these are eminently the sorts of problems of the stupid, whereby those who come after can'
t fucking discern what the everloving fuck were you thinking. however the empire managed to wedge them into stupid, through creating a hallucinatory "need for secrecy" or through "women get to choose, and you'll produce choices for them free of charge" or whatever nonsense -- the fact remains, here i sit, and they could've been the hitti
mircea_popescu: from out in the darkness, because the "very intelligent" people invovled weren'
t, apparently, intelligent enough to help me with this problem.
mircea_popescu: wasn'
t specifically saying birth or death, merely trying to examine the mechanism.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, why else all the pretense, you know. bitpay exists to "please stop using bitcoin", keybase exists to "please stop using rsa", the WHOLE point of the usg ersatzen is exactly this, to get the sort of retard who can'
t tell the difference between item and usg.fake to stop using item.
mircea_popescu: understand that what's required of you isn'
t a bland "do better", somehow magically and on your own power ; it's evident that your own power gets you where it got you, idly power-cycling the machine isn'
t the republican game.
mircea_popescu: i don'
t know ; and i'd like to know ; but i'd rather not guess, which is the entire point of even having a wot in the first place, take the guessing out of society, bring reason back among people.
