mp_en_viaje: this is
the insescapable pit of
the problem : back in sovok 70s, an array of young men was +ev. may
take some cleanning /
training /
tooling / whatever, but, basically, ev.
mp_en_viaje: it pains me
to say it, but it's a fact : cabs aren't really a
thing anymore. uber-stupid now.
mp_en_viaje: turks got a cooler country
than germans now.
mp_en_viaje: it's dead,
the whole "oh, cab's great,
talk
to cabbie get all
the infos, solve all
the problems, what you want in your life is like
two dozen medallioned cars and
the people who work
them" is as much an artefact of aforetimes as "man who can cut veal"
mp_en_viaje: i used
to own cars i mostly wasn't using, on
the idea
that "whatever, nothing wrong with owning it, can always set it
to cabwork"
mp_en_viaje: the sort of people you can hire
to do
the work are
to ofuckign moronic
to qualify as cows, no farm would hire
them
to be
the livestock
snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-26 18:45:13 asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: 1 immediate observation --
the cabs were so cheap ,
transport dun seem
to be major problem ( from asciilifeform's admittedly brief expedition )
mp_en_viaje: after current
trip i intend
to go south later
this year, istanbul, syria, mebbe dip into iran, all
the way
to cairo
mp_en_viaje: anyway.
this will have
to suspend at least until after ....
mp_en_viaje: to not even
talk of what it'd get you in say
thailand, or vietnam.
mp_en_viaje: and, literally,
the sort of prices
they quote will get you a much nicer
thing in kew gardens or w/e.
mp_en_viaje: BingoBoingo, very nice work ; but
this seems untenable on
the face. i mean, even
the san francisco "premium" bezzleworld's been losing 2-3-5% a year, each year, since 2015 or so. and 2s and 3s ealirer, 5s and above
these days, 2019 may well close more like 7%
mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, ikr ? literally, if you're willing
to pay 20-30 a sqft you get
to pick.
snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-26 18:55:50 BingoBoingo: asciilifeform:
The widely reported years ago on numerous blogs conventional wisdom is
that everything is for sale and ~40-60 percent negotiated off
the asking prices was a common practice.
This needs
to be investigated if moving forward.
mp_en_viaje: Asking 185,000 USD, apparently under contract,94 m² << but
this is like $200 per sqft ?!
mp_en_viaje: it's stil la pleasure
to read bb prose. both well researched and well written, "The primary center of activity in
this area is
the Punta Carretas Shopping where many of
the Frente Amplio's elders were incarcerated at some point."
top keks
mp_en_viaje: with
the
taxi once hitting a high speed near 30 km/h << fucking makes my skin crawl.
the car AVERAGED like 110
BingoBoingo: mp_en_viaje:
The Kommunalka Uruguaya in
the form of Pensiones are
targeted strictly
to single people. Very similar
to Ye Olde Boarding house without
the actual provision of board.
snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-06 13:11:29 asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: we weren't even in hruscheba, but in
the 19th-c-converted-to-kommunalka . still 100% square walls.
mp_en_viaje was planning
to get on earlier but
then... well,
things got captivating.
BingoBoingo: Meanwhile in Retard on
the other side of
the River:
http://archive.is/jIoIS "El Banco Central difundió el listado de las personas que compraron más de USD 10.000 por mes"
diana_coman: asciilifeform: no, it's for
the irc
task, I gave
thimbronion
the list of acceptable and banned stuff; he had
this older gentoo on which he had said eudev and unsure about it.
snsabot: Logged on 2017-12-19 18:23:09
trinque: "eudev" exists as an alternative
to
the systemd-udev. dunno what else
the heathens stapled
to systemd meanwhile
diana_coman: does anyone know what eudev is? (apparently some gentoo fork of udev working with openrc but unclear at
this point if it's at all acceptable on a system)
diana_coman: well,
tbh I wouldn't consider it "accepts btc" if not; but yes,
that's why I wrote it black on white.
diana_coman: once I get
their response either way, I'll update
the article; let's see.
diana_coman: asciilifeform: I just fired up an email
to
them, as
the article promisses
snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-13 13:02:11 mircea_popescu: anyway : i'm willing
to bet migration ~will~ be
trivial ; and i am very curious
to find out why not if indeed not
spyked: initial investigation shows
that
that indeed shouldn't be
too painful, probably along
the lines of
wp_insert_post for each post. will still
take some manual labour
to verify
that posts display well, but
that's not burning, so I can do it as I go along with other work.
spyked: in other news, I'm in
the process of standing up a mp-wp for
thetarpit and migrating posts from
the current platform
there. will post a genesis for
the current blog later
today and
then work out a plan for migration
snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-26 13:19:48 diana_coman: mircea_popescu: once
the new voice model comes in, is
the L1 redefined accordingly
too? iirc
there are some priviledges such as "can use feedbot & deedbot only if in L1", right? spyked or
trinque might correct me here.
spyked:
http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-09-26#1938376 <-- hm. I suppose feedbot could do something along
the lines of "talk (via PM) only
to people who are already +v in
the channels where bot is listening"; either way,
there's currently no strict enforcement in place, I'll add something if/when it becomes necessary
ericbot: Logged on 2019-09-26 11:50:37 mircea_popescu:
think abougt it, isn't a priori post something you'd want ? :D
BingoBoingo: Before investigating
transit
times it had probably been a good
three months since I'd been inside a vehicle. Present
tranportation costs consist of food calories above basal metabolic rate and a few cents a day in shoe/boot depreciation.
BingoBoingo: The local
telecom's preferred solution for rural internet is cellular.
BingoBoingo: One other complication leaving
the central municipalities C, B, CH, and E involves incomplete coverage of
the residential fiber network.
BingoBoingo: Go one or
two streets back and just about everything without a for sale or for rent sign lights up at some point during
the week.
BingoBoingo: Most of
the apartments along
the short of
the Rambla here in Pocitos are never lit, never show signs of life, suggesting absentee owners
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: As of 2013
through a bilateral
treaty
the shelter part of
the arrangement went out. From where I'm sitting it is hard
to
tell which way
the Argentine winds will push
BingoBoingo: The advertised asking prices have been inching down since I arrived. I suspect
the former use of property in Uruguay as a shelter from Argentine
taxes kept real estate prices artificially high.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform:
The widely reported years ago on numerous blogs conventional wisdom is
that everything is for sale and ~40-60 percent negotiated off
the asking prices was a common practice.
This needs
to be investigated if moving forward.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Well,
there's also
taxi strikes ~every other month.
Taxis don't run on holidays except by prior arrangement.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform:
They add up.
The just under 10 km ride
to Prado was 390 pesos going
there, 340 pesos returning after
traffic settled, for ~20 USD round
trip.
BingoBoingo: ^ asciilifeform et al,
the awaited survey of
the real estate situation
diana_coman: mircea_popescu: once
the new voice model comes in, is
the L1 redefined accordingly
too? iirc
there are some priviledges such as "can use feedbot & deedbot only if in L1", right? spyked or
trinque might correct me here.
diana_coman: ah, now I see it re
thimbronion.com - he
tripped over his own feet, didn't he; fwiw he got
told off for it and he fixed it; anyway
that "plan" needs revising.
lobbes: and now
that I know
that sync-ism is not wanted with wp-mp logger, I have 0 doubts about
this nixing.
The wonders of
the forum for clarifying courses of action never cease
lobbes: buut, I realise now
this was kinda dumb. All
the data (both "meta" and otherwise) is already inserted into
the mysql db ffs. (i.e. if python crashes, I just... query mysql for last article updated and can get
the post ID and last updated date, as well as read
the contents field into memory). I will nix
the flatfile-ism in short order
ericbot: Logged on 2019-09-26 07:31:58 mircea_popescu: and why
the fuck flatfile intermediary anywya, what is
this, medieval clockwork ?! what's it needed for ?!
