BingoBoingo: Anyways, a plus of Brazil is
the language is just Spanish with a weird accent. Just like Romanian is near-spanish with a slavic accent.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> now, as
to
the matter of prices:
the principal matter is whether you peer or you don't peer. peered
traffic is FREE. unpeered
traffic is about $9 per month per Mbps installed capacity. << AHA, long
term idea is outgrow a major expense by becoming hot, sexy, blonde, pert peer
mircea_popescu: (peering is entirely not a different
thing from how
the bitcoin network works, at
that)
mircea_popescu: except in some places (notably, australia, because
telstra are imbeciles and want
to be paid about 20x). vbut
then again SIMPLY EXCLUDING shitholes is not actually a problem.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> japan, australia, mainland, hk,
taiwan, sg, koreas etc united by more installed capacity
than london/amsterdam/ny etc << Hong Kong has
tremendous interconnectivity
through
the HKIX system... within itself...

than used Kawasaki Ninja 250

the folx who actually use sustained 30G/s etc ~build~ dcs, partner with
telecom firms, and so on
mircea_popescu: as per
that ancient "you defeat
the enemy by outdigging him"
mircea_popescu: japan, australia, mainland, hk,
taiwan, sg, koreas etc united by more installed capacity
than london/amsterdam/ny etc
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo i would be surprised if
there wasn't somewhere in
teh walls of supersekrit beijing a document describing how creating an equivalent of
the north atlantic in
the south china sea is a fundamental chinese military/strategic goal for
the year 2030.
BingoBoingo: One
thing
that is becoming clear appears
to be having Atlantic coast seemingly predicts better internet
than Pacific coast
mircea_popescu: and
the origins of akamai lie in consistent hashing much like
the origins of alphabet lie in
the iterated graph
thing.
mircea_popescu: (lewin was one of
the people osama sent
to
their maker)
BingoBoingo has
to expect outbound connection
to
take at least one, preferrably four of
them
BingoBoingo: Also switch with multiple 10G ports can be had for less
than used Kawasaki Ninja 250
☟︎ BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Anyways consider
the case of 100 AMD G boards colo'd in a 4U case. How much speed for
them?
mircea_popescu: cloudflare doesn't even figure in
this kind of discussion. and so on.
mircea_popescu: but anyway. l3 for instance has an installed capacity of 100 PB or so (these are bytes not bits). akamai in
the same range.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform:
This is why you ask for a referral
to
the
transit providers.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> what
the fuck, "internet doesn't really exist" next ? <<
This exercise has done more
to inform "How internet exists"
than previous 31 years of life.
mircea_popescu: same way i can own a
thousand car fleet notwithstanding
the "1000 car" has not yet been built.
mircea_popescu: petabit connections are routinely leased ; and if
they aren't leased by us
that ONLY means we suck and no more.
mircea_popescu: yes, it isn't a secret, but apparently you've retreated into insanity with
this whole
thing.
mircea_popescu: so your idea of how netflix works is
that a bunch of couch dwelling "Criminology" majors queue up before a dc
to be shown
their inane shit on
the dc's wall mounted display ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: asciilifeform and
those don't run boxes
then ? what is it, come out of a netflix
toothpaste
tube ?
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> BingoBoingo: expand re bedbug <<
The old women land lords when yet another
tenant bails at
their infestation goes with over
the counter remedies half heartedly.
mircea_popescu: and stop with
the "unlimited" bs,
that's how "blackhatworld"
tards express
themselves.
a111: Logged on 2017-10-16 19:03 asciilifeform:
there are entire orcistans
that don't add up
to 30G/s sustained.
mircea_popescu: so : worthless $everything is cheap for
the idiots and useless for everyone else,
the great achievement of ourdemocracy.
mircea_popescu: the irony isn't even
the "not free" part ; but
that what
this fellow paying
two average salaries per head gets is NOT WORTH MONEY.
mircea_popescu: average salary here is ~half
that ; and he has
three of
them.
a111: Logged on 2017-10-16 18:49 asciilifeform: incidentally, 'bandwidth is cheap' is a misconception.
the only folx who
think 'cheap' are
the ones who do not saturate
their pipe.
try saturating, 24/7/365, and you will find
that not so cheap.
BingoBoingo: Note
this is also a big reason why Bedbugs are on
the upswing.
BingoBoingo: Upwardly mobile pantsuit Biddies moves on from starter house, rents it, repeats every 5 years until
they are 48 and overwhelmed
their letting agency is interferring with
their secretary gig
BingoBoingo: Anyways, in other corners of gringolandia
the rental house market is fatter because Biddies wanna make money while
they sleep
BingoBoingo: Or
they are
trying
the leadgeneration/referral
thing
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform:
The
thing about azns is
they gossip.
BingoBoingo: The reply percentage has gone up
to ~60 percent in
the past 2 weeks. Since Friday it's been +140%
BingoBoingo: No,
that's an accidental side effect. But
the plus side is clients get seriously impressive speed
BingoBoingo: That's 10 cable modems in DDoS mode or a single AWS+Wordpress away from collapse. Better
to get
the faster pipe and meter it
BingoBoingo: Both what
the port itself costs and what
the
transfer costs
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Hopefully Imma going
to find out
BingoBoingo: On
the other hand,
there is "not cheap" and
then
there are Pinoys offering a 10Mbps connection for a 42 U rack
BingoBoingo: You forget, in my world 2-cyle is for
the pros. Nothing sadder
than a 4-cycle strimmer
BingoBoingo: And
the
tech may also be problem
too. It's starting
to seem like everyone in Asia has MAX!!!111!!HIGHSPEED connected
to noone else.
BingoBoingo: Don't forget
the ritual asking of questions over multiple round
to show interest while panicking
that someone is looking
to buy!
mircea_popescu: according
to
the majority of
the contemporaries,
the correct response is
to move about incoherently while vocalizing vaguely and drooling slightly.
mircea_popescu: yes but
the problem here isn't
tech, it's "what
to do when someone says hello".
BingoBoingo: Well, for all
the noise about
tech in Asia...
BingoBoingo: Well, when one becomes
to recieving either jolo or rando ny
Telestra sales staff, it is a change of pace
shinohai: Well BingoBoingo I doubt
they are making brazillions .....
BingoBoingo: In other wonders, when you submit a quote request in Brazil for a full rack,
the CTO sends an email
mircea_popescu: i can't even claim
that much. irresponsible enough
to even know
there was anything
to doubt.
mircea_popescu: anyway.
teh... "department of people deeply concerned with my continued welbeing" let's say is deeply concerned and humbly asks
to please not do
that again.
mircea_popescu: eh why
the hell not, apparently i'm untouchable. cleopatra-as-isis has been reborn in me and no mortal hand can harm such a one or how did it go.
mircea_popescu: i
think
this now qualifies as
the superlative bender, retrospectively.
mircea_popescu: apparently surfers routinely lose limbs
to
these guys.
mircea_popescu: aaand in other nacht und nebel, i find
this morning
that yesterday i went skinny dipping a few kilometers off costa rica's principal concentration of crocodylus acutus.
mircea_popescu: "Philine writes
to me
that she feels absolutely dreadful in spite of
the clairvoyante who felt her in
the rectum and gave her such helpful guidelines for her behavior".
