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.
a111: Logged on 2018-05-19 15:19 BingoBoingo: Mocky: I don'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.
a111: Logged on 2016-05-30 04:14 mircea_popescu: didn't alfred wainwright invent nude fell walking ?
a111: Logged on 2016-11-05 15:08 hanbot: "S.NSA is expected to realise operating revenue next period." << exciting bonbon in this month's s.nsa report. if FUCKGOATS didn't knock one's tongue out, anyway.
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.)
a111: Logged on 2018-05-19 03:49 Mocky: reading the logs - I'm trying to understand how 'kalash' is being used here. I don't see it in http://trilema.com/2016/republican-thesaurus-with-vocabulary-and-dictionary/ maybe it's a common thing I just haven't heard of. The use seems consistent with https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Kalash
BingoBoingo: It's possible. I picked up an impermeable jacket so drizzle isn't a problem

Mocky: and with 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.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-05-18#1815398 << gusta. gustan if there were 2 maduros ; but with the s it rather means "why don't you taste yourself some". "porque no te gustas esta picha" = "why don't you have a lick". ☝︎
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-05-18#1815395 << you ain't seen nothing yet. ☝︎
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
fettiffany: so, i don't see the need to register
mod6: And I don't think it's whatever USD. Per the conversation it's $5000 USD worth of BTC right?
asciilifeform: e.g. 'We don't need an­other slow, se­cure hash func­tion' , 'no com­pelling ad­van­tage ', 'I don't feel that solv­ing length-ex­ten­sion is a suf­fi­ciently press­ing con­cern that we should all in­vest in SHA-3 now, rather than a hash func­tion that hope­fully comes with more ad­van­tages' , etc
asciilifeform: meanwhile, in last yr's lulz, https://archive.li/ROnpA << ~transparent usg shill, 'don't use keccak! because Reasons!'

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't really over until a profitable Pizarro exists, so I'm pretty open on terms >> http://btcbase.org/log/2018-05-17#1814925 ☝︎
lobbes: I have the sword and the "P" saved as vector images, so scaling and general fiddling shouldn't be an issue if you want me to
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.
a111: Logged on 2018-05-18 04:20 mircea_popescu: aand in other "shit that wasn't in the logs yet", 𐏃𐎧𐎠𐎶𐎴𐎡𐏁
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: funnily enuff , my terminal doesn't show this orcogram

trinque: I don't think it's good form to litter the COMMON-LISP-USER package with this.
ben_vulpes: https://thehackernews.com/2018/05/signal-desktop-hacking.html << "because the developers used a function literally called 'dangerouslySetInnerHTML' that doesn't escape HTML"
mircea_popescu: i don't recall exactly how it was done ; but all trilema was google indexed.
mircea_popescu: i thought he was just done explaining how he didn't like surprises. wanna go for a round yourself ?
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't care but you'll have to either shoot a "judge" or talk to him.
mircea_popescu: if only artists weren't thoroughly illiterate, we could like, have one.
a111: Logged on 2018-05-18 01:32 mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-05-17#1815103 << understand though that the only reason they're surprising is because they weren't handled either properly or in time. there's a lot of leeway in how surprising the sort of predictable surprises are, by being what's called "proactive"
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. ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2018-05-18 01:28 mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-05-17#1815092 << you didn't even give him a workorder yet (as you don't evne have a sales plan yet) and you want to add incentives to it ? kinda ass-backwards!
mod6: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-05-18#1815174 << yeah, pretty much. just chuckin out possibilities as I hadn't contemplated the matter much. obv. ☝︎
asciilifeform: i was thinking that ideally it'd be something that cannot be supplied by anybody who isn't actually running whole thing (i.e. anyone not us)
mircea_popescu: but generally it's not "things you couldn't do at home" ; but "things you can't be arsed to do at home"
mircea_popescu: ie, don't discover that a guy who's there at your pleasure is sitting on arms all day long contemplating roaches climb the walls because ~i point it out~, don't be surprised by the attentand morale issues.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-05-17#1815103 << understand though that the only reason they're surprising is because they weren't handled either properly or in time. there's a lot of leeway in how surprising the sort of predictable surprises are, by being what's called "proactive" ☝︎☟︎

mircea_popescu: well, so they'll fuck people's public_html for them, it's how "don;'t take over box plox" works.

a111: Logged on 2018-05-17 20:52 ben_vulpes: mod6: doesn't really make a difference to the books, a liability is a liability. it's going to show up on the balance sheet regardless.
asciilifeform: the interesting bit is that he could not have used stock gpg ( which won't crank out anything bigger than 8kbit )
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: 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.
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
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo struck asciilifeform as a sensible fella, who won't blow whole wad on the proverbial h&b. more like , wants to maybe go on shore leave some day; and not to be 1 broken leg or frivolous charges filed by city hall (like they did to him in usa) away from penury
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.
ben_vulpes: yeah in re the apartment, BingoBoingo you want to live in the dorms forever or why wasn't that in your ask
mod6: I don't follow.
ben_vulpes: mod6: doesn't really make a difference to the books, a liability is a liability. it's going to show up on the balance sheet regardless. ☟︎
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: keep in mind, it ain't cheap
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> BingoBoingo: i also have open problems that you could probably help with. for instance, i am in search of a http://btcbase.org/log/2018-05-17#1814828 , and of 32 ( or at worst , 2 x 16 ) port GB/s ~bare pcb~ ethernet switches that don't come with 'minumal order 1000' chinesium insult << Will get to searching. Thoughts on a good way to perform epoxy potting on my personal FUCKGOAT that would be actually transparent ☝︎
mircea_popescu: (which, incidentallty, ~still~ doesn't work ; but doesn't work ellaborately and expensively)

mircea_popescu: i have absolutely no trouble at all repelling http://trilema.com/2016/why-is-that/#comment-117928 "o noes, sky is fall't" ~for a reason~.
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.
asciilifeform: if it were, we wouldn't have this thread
mircea_popescu: isn't the leg brought out to the contacts ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i wasn't even thinking of asking for true antifuse sd card , considering that antifuse roms have been unavailable since early 1990s ( see prev thread re subj )
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" ?
ben_vulpes: http://logs.bvulpes.com/trilema?d=2018-5-17#357607 << if this is in reference to my and BingoBoingo's warrants from the first month of operations, pizarro covers BingoBoingo's rent and fodder, and doesn't pay me at all; it is a trade of cash for equity.
mircea_popescu: they didn't fall in shenzen from mars.
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.
asciilifeform: it doesn't seem to be even in outer reaches of l3
asciilifeform: it isn't a 'consumable' as such; doesn't wear out on read, and lasts for as long as the machine it is installed into
asciilifeform recalls (but can't seem to unearth) at least 1 thread where we discussed the increasing rarity of otp roms, on acct of 'upgradeism' and progressing software rot
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 ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it isn't clear to me how such a problem gets solved without ~someone, somewhere~ buying at least 1 whole container. but i am not expert in subj.
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.
danielpbarron: oh i haven't used it in many years
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.
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: this isn't some kind of internet powergames special dweeb hour / the empire of flies / politica pe bat cu pic si poc / http://btcbase.org/log/2018-02-17#1784352 ; it's the republic of thinking men. ☝︎
