mircea_popescu: if
they don't speak it who wants
them for a pet anyway.
mircea_popescu: they can make
their own decisions when it's
their
time
to
talk.
take life one day at a
time, can feed and pet your new pet
today.
mircea_popescu: sure as fuck beats "raising" a dog ; and i can readily understand one not wanting
to go
through genital roulette at
the cost of an irreplaceable decade and a reasonably rare million.
mircea_popescu: so what's keeping you ? go up
to whichever looks best and say "hey, we'd like
to
take you in for a pet."
mircea_popescu: why ?
tall, lithe. no
tits and mostly absent ass, but hey, can't have errything.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform if you like it
there you'd prolly luv odessa.
a111: Logged on 2017-10-22 12:23 BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Watch out for pits yourself. Also, how are
the
toilets?
shinohai: Bwahaha
those "A girl online " comments in
that article are so lulzy
mircea_popescu: john smith is jack shit,
the west didn't hold 4 bn women in 1860.
mircea_popescu: mark
twain has a bit about how every whore in
the west hit up john smith for alms whenever.
mircea_popescu: but
the needy women
themselves have carefully worked
together
to avoid being halped.
mircea_popescu: but
the curse of stupid is amply distributed and heavy indeed. consider : for
the past
THREE YEARS i have been giving ANY WOMAN IN
THE WORLD hundreds of dollars.
this is more
than ANY "organization" ever did for
the women in
this world, be it something from usg.alphabet, or usg.un bureaucracy or anyone else.
mircea_popescu: rather,
they were cursed with stupid
to begin with, and had so far lived in a sort of environment where it had been carefully made inpossible
to prove it.
shinohai: I'm beginning
to
think people
that randomly receive full integer Bitcoins from mircea_popescu get cursed.
☟︎ shinohai: Ooh old
trainz in abandoned stations would make neat photoset
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Watch out for pits yourself. Also, how are
the
toilets?
☟︎ BingoBoingo: Occasionally
there's big moves, none bigger
than starting out. Everything else is consistency at every size.
BingoBoingo: Anyways, my impression of
the business is
that its like farming, except customer service is a
thing.
mod6: <+hanbot> Even
the once unknown Mircea Popescu is now making waves with his blog. << lmfao, "it's not plagiarism if you
throw a name in
there entirely out of context!!1" << yeah, srsly.

BingoBoingo: Also it seems
the deedbutt payment hasn't gone
through yet.
BingoBoingo: Well goal more honest
than US retail label of "plan"
BingoBoingo: But
this week is about refining
that
to more concrete figure.
BingoBoingo: PCENGINES APU not so cheap), VPS 3x+ cost basis. Misc weird (i.e. hand courier and colo 32 bit SPARC machine) billed in proportion
to
time
they
take from providing excellent customer service and 2x cost basis for livng space.
☟︎ BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu>
they cost you about 50k
to buy, and
the rack will run you about 50k for a year.
that means your yearly budget is about 100k, roughly. <<
This is roughly my impression. 50k colorent, 40-70k-ish hardware, 35-ish k physical presence so as
to walk
to servers, 2k birthing company, 5k retainers, 100k prudent reserve (In case of Best Korea, Intifada, meteor storm, Pelosi). Rent boxes out for ~2x cost basis (all in, not board so
mircea_popescu: what separates
the men from
the children is
that one year, and whether at
the end of it you're green or not.
mircea_popescu: after
the first year your machines are amortized and your downline built, so you're looking at some decent net margin. before
the first year you're burdened by
the capital costs and stuck with low occupancy, so you bleed cash.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: these
take more work, and consequently provide more revenue.
mircea_popescu: your cost basis is ~200 per server. you can rent
them for 3-400 as such, or can give out vpsen, which are more productive. perhaps even "shared" if particularily interested into it.
☟︎☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: they cost you about 50k
to buy, and

that means your yearly budget is about 100k, roughly.
mircea_popescu: your 42 u full rack
takes 40 boxes, optimized so
they pull say 150-200 W on average.
that'll keep you out of power overages 99% of
the
time.
mircea_popescu: b) you're not going
to charge 1k/mo for any servers, don't be ridiculous. you're going
to pay 500-2k
to buy
the server, and
then rent it out for
the usual 2x
the fixed cost.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes a) you're not going
to make money renting space as such.
this wasn't even in
the original design, i've nfi why you added it in.
mircea_popescu: the god of magic numbers gave
them
the 900 second and
they're sticking ot it!

trinque: super dumb.
jhvh1: ben_vulpes:
The operation succeeded.
hanbot: neato, and greatly appreciated
thus far.
trinque: at any rate
there'll before
too long be a limited hot wallet on
this
thing people can subscribe
to for automatic
txn
hanbot: i don't know what
the actual
time
threshold is
tbh. clearly longer
than 15 mins
tho.
☟︎ hanbot: 15 mins is what
they give you "to pay" in
their idiotic bleeping red
timer interface. it "ran out" in
this instance, but
they still see
the
tx afterwards and credit it
trinque: 15min
til
they see
the unconfirmed?
hanbot: 15 mins. anyway,
they credited it, should be fine and dandy
trinque: how long do
they usually give you?
trinque: I
think I've
told everyone by now
that
this is a by hand process. I dunno
that I'd use it for
that.
trinque: hm, possible it didn't get
there in
time
then. I just dispatched it.
hanbot: trinque
that withdraw was a bitpay
thingie with 3mins left on
the clock fwiw.
hanbot: dunno why i expected
to have
to use a different letter
hanbot: Performs
the previously requested command associated with
the decrypted `otp`. << nah, actually, i
think
that's fine.
hanbot: trinque can put in
the deedbot help html?
mod6: this
thing is pretty sweet huh
a111: Logged on 2017-10-22 00:37 mod6 raises a glass
to
the 3rd anniversary of
The Bitcoin Foundation
trinque: yep if hanbot wanted me
to send some
txn
tonight, better off. I might not find
time
to change
the code
this evening.
trinque: yeah, isn't uniform is it. I can change invoice and pay
to match withdraw.
mircea_popescu: trinque could
this actually be changed
to match
the format of all others ? iirc it's amt dest for withdraw etc.
trinque: if
the bot doesn't give an affirmative reply, it didn't do anything

☟︎☟︎☟︎ ben_vulpes: perhaps my estimates are bad but i'm also having
trouble make
the
thing pencil out
to not-a-flaming-hole-in-my-own-pocket
BingoBoingo: ben_vulpes:
THeir contact info wouldn't hurt. Anyways
the
trade off is warehousing
the meat in Brazil is less expensive while starting a business in HK is a
two hour online form. It still would not hurt at all
to have a VulpesISP even with a BingoISP
ben_vulpes: i'd rather get back
to profiling mpfhf
than marketing a cabinet
ben_vulpes: BingoBoingo: d'you want
to
talk
to
the guys i spoke
to in hk?
BingoBoingo: Or I guess
there's
the finding a girl
to marry route, but
then I forfeit my dissident license.
BingoBoingo: That's
the suspicion, but still likely useful as part of journey
to second passport
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo from experience nobody gives a flying fuck about visas in
this part of
the world.
BingoBoingo: In readings so far, Brazialian "entrepreneur's visa" once business making process is started
takes 150,000 Reals deposited (i.e. first year's rack rent) in bank with plan filed
to hire
two employees or 600,000 Reals deposited
to waive hiring plan requirement. Actual incorporation far less. Hong Kong still has a week
to make a final push.
BingoBoingo: shinohai: Nah, gotta be something
that stands out in
the Registry once we own some IP space.
mircea_popescu: needless
to say, no portion of
the "added value" of 15mn was injust enrichment, or
taken from
them
to be returned
to
the rightful slovak owner.
mircea_popescu: , notwithstanding he had proofs (but did he have proof
those proofs were proofing ?!?!). in
the end, after a lot of back and forth between various government agencies,
they paid him 300k, "acquired" it (legally, of course, what usg steals is legally acquired, what slovak antique dealer owns is "mafia involvement") and
then proceeded
to sell it at auction. for ... 15.3mn.
mircea_popescu: and here's some lulz for asciilifeform's private "art ownerhsip" collection : femme nue couchee, a courbet knockoff of
the maja desnuda goya painting was looted in 45 by
the soviets, who displayed it in
the manner of
truckers, which is
to say on a
truck
tarpaulin.
the item was
thought lost, but it surfaced in 2000.
the owner (possession is 100% of
the law!) was accused of being unfit for ownership, as he happened
to be slovak
