BingoBoingo kinda surprised danielpbarron isn't already here, prolly ought to save the date for next year's
BingoBoingo: And the Brazilians here for Expo Cannabis are still smoking hella weed

mircea_popescu: "oh, are you writing about $item ? this is in my bayesian list, here's five things i selected from the database of things to be selected when this $item is mentioned! #metoo".
BingoBoingo: <danielpbarron> even when i paid almost 100 USD to ship to that UK guy i still profited quite well for the effort << If you want to drop some off personally in montevideo, you will likely avoid customs charges.
mircea_popescu: and consequently one continuously runs the risk of having produced an inadvertent bike shed, because according to inscrutable alien logics the aliens will land and disrupt rock concerts but not country music concerts ; or vice-versa. cuz the aliens think they can rock or whatever.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> err << Tis airport handle made for device that can't be trusted with bouncer credential, nothing important may come out of there, merely fresh annecdotes from safari
mircea_popescu: the ~other~ explanation, however, might well be that i don't write on topics about which they're trained to think they have an oppinion. it's easy to forget the parameciums are not actually people, and to imagine human process impels them ; this isn't however the case, they just go where they were trained to go and do what they were trained to do, no more. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: so we could say the ycombined parameciums are moving, knocking about the walls of the petri dish. nevertheless, they don't feel at liberty to derp in comments there like they do on your site -- notwithstanding the bar to comment on loper-os is actually too high what with the google captcha thing. ☟︎

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-09#1749146 << here's something perhaps of interest re all that : loper-os beat btcbase for referrals for the first time in history (and harshly, 2:1 sorta thing) this month. ☝︎
ben_vulpes: either get a real bouncer or read the wwwlogz

asciilifeform: ( i don't know of any particular reason to spit on it )
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: if you want to use gcc's gnat, you gotta get old ( 2016 and earlier oughta work ) tarball manually, and build; or obtain the 'obsolete' gentoo ebuild.
asciilifeform: ( the building can happen, however , on any box having a working gnat of whatever type )
asciilifeform: the sad fact re gnat is that there is no known way to build a gnat without an existing (built) gnat. ☟︎
ben_vulpes: it is sitting happily on a desk, refusing to ada for reasons of package gcc 4.9 blocks gnat-gpl, which is the point at which i threw up my hands and declared a temporary retrograde advance
asciilifeform: i thought ben_vulpes had a ppc thing
asciilifeform: no exotic archs tho
ben_vulpes: likely with the 'wrist' to make it work
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: reproducing everybody's travails
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: reproducing ben_vulpes' travails ahaha?
asciilifeform: in other noose, ALL of the 'livedvd' on gentoo's ftp appear to contain poetteringolade ( boots into gui horror, with systemd, 'networkmanager'-at-boot, etc. )
danielpbarron: cruciform, if you don't mind, i'm curious what they charged you
cruciform: just about finished up with 6 months of logs; turns out I've a LOT of work to do! :-)
scriba: Logged on 2017-12-10: [01:29:30] <danielpbarron> even when i paid almost 100 USD to ship to that UK guy i still profited quite well for the effort

asciilifeform: clambodile: please get an irc bouncer , or lurk by reading the logs. join/part spamola is not welcome
a111: Logged on 2017-12-10 01:32 danielpbarron: i replaced the coin used to by mine at the time i bought them, so that works for me
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-10#1749209 << this is the key of the strategy. ☝︎
asciilifeform realized not long ago that he's quite ready to pay considerably 'more' in fiatola for a hypothetical item that is also-sold for btc , on account of the difficulty of replenishing the latter
danielpbarron: i replaced the coin used to by mine at the time i bought them, so that works for me ☟︎☟︎
asciilifeform: possibly folx are less reluctant to part with fiatola than good old coinz
danielpbarron: even when i paid almost 100 USD to ship to that UK guy i still profited quite well for the effort

izabera: i mean you must be aware of btc's recent jump to >15k usd
asciilifeform: i mean it is also expensive compared to children's tricycle. but how about comparing similar items..
asciilifeform: someone sells an auditable trng called ps4 ?
asciilifeform: izabera: i gotta bite : compared to what ?
asciilifeform: 0.0395 is the current. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: where was that danielpbarron amazion thing ?
izabera: are the prices on this page https://archive.is/CNpWm up to date?
asciilifeform: 100 was just the first batch ( which sold out last yr )
mircea_popescu: within a degree of magnitude, sorta thing
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: dun think we ever published the exact #. although folx oughta be able to arithmetize.
mircea_popescu: not like it's not in the reports. hundred or so ?
asciilifeform: izabera: try asking dell how many servers he sold ?
asciilifeform: izabera: the unit is very much still available.

asciilifeform: does it ? i dun recall last time e.g. trilema was '#1 on tardcombinator' ☟︎
mircea_popescu: comes with teh territory.
asciilifeform: the q asciilifeform asks each time is 'wai'. it's not unlike learning that you've been featured on radio pyongyang

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-09#1749118 << this attracted such choice intellects last time... ☝︎
asciilifeform: clambodile: there is no substitute for reading the log, if you want to have even half a clue. but lurk all you like, nobody's stopping anyone from lurking.
clambodile: asciilifeform: I thought I would lurk for now, if that's aight.
clambodile: I would describe myself as "a rando". I found this channel by chance, thought it seemed interesting.
