asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: https://archive.is/N4KYf << china! as you said. though i have nfi how much of the linked info is true
trinque: mircea_popescu: suing, guy may have allegedly (blah blah) stolen some things
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: might be interesting to find out where the (hilarious) northkr www is hosted.
asciilifeform at one time scouted far and wide for these, with a budget not far off from mircea_popescu's current
asciilifeform: asciilifeform's argument is not that mircea_popescu's idea is physically impossible, but that it is absent because it is -- afaik -- heavily -ev. and not because 'world is stupid'. take, say, the moving of cocaine. it involves every bit the same types of risks, but cocaine is readily available worldwide. i suspect : partly because it is a standalone physical object -- unlike net connectivity.
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: customer doesn't have a raid == 'well what did they expect' i guess - granted, that actually makes sense. just need to be extra clear in T&Cs...
asciilifeform: relatedly, whatever happened to mircea_popescu's harness of N hdds that mysteriously burned in unison
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: i fell like we should all get drunk by this point, but: in this scenario, you're saying that dc would handle all hardware faults?
a111: Logged on 2017-04-21 17:42 mircea_popescu: so, to reiterate the constructive part, also found in 2015 discussion re same : a) identify some decent dcs that do good service. this may be prior knowledghe, may be proximity so you can visit poersonally od some work etc. 2) colo some gear bespoke to your larger customers, and some well priced gear you can find to vps out of 3) profit. and for the rest of your life.
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: qntra being ddos'd recently?
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: disk goes down. shit gets stolen. ddos. your isp is ~broker to the upstream, so you have to escalate.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu's concept would work, but it has 1 serious cost -- it is a 'phd assembly line', in that it -- as i understand -- more or less requires ~being a copy of mircea_popescu~ -- a 'jet-setting' d00d, travelling to orclands, negotiating with local mafias, packing up boxes onto chartered boeings in the night, etc
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: what's a rg
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: quite truly. which is why i balked, ' mircea_popescu surely made typo '
asciilifeform: if year -- then yes, mircea_popescu has it
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: their 'fattest' offering seems to be a 999 eu. / mo.
asciilifeform: or is mircea_popescu suggesting that hypothetical $service ~could~ charge 15k/mo and mircea_popescu would agree to this price.
asciilifeform: and what to do after the 1st, 2nd, 3rd time that having this relation with $service ends up getting upstream (hardware owner's) iron confiscated/stolen/mysteriously burned ? where do you get new hardware upstream after this ? or does mircea_popescu picture this problem going away when you close your eyes ?
trinque: mircea_popescu: in the 15-20k range across all projects
trinque: mircea_popescu: aha
asciilifeform: if mircea_popescu sees this as utterly trivial, as suggested here, he could run this service himself (or with 'long hands'), corner the market, supply every spammer on planet3 .
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the idiots handle the enemy in the simplest way -- by dying. 'human fat powered system.'
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: you said yourself that there is no bulletproof hosting. how long do public torrent sites survive? and do you think they have not tried the 'bulletproof' route (not all of them, granted)?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu earlier observed that nobody -- anywhere -- is offering this service.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: where would you suggest to put it ?
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: i've heard you before and i hear you now. i just don't have much hope for extant internet. unreliable-low-bandwidth shortwave relay net almost seems like a longer term strategy here, no?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: still 0 offers for this ?!
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i don't know for a hard fact, but there was that ukr.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: outside of reich, exactly same confiscation is carried out simply by slipping a hundy to the orc guard
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: as you're well aware, usg has 0 problem confiscating entire dc when it wants. on most of planet.
a111: Logged on 2017-04-21 16:59 mircea_popescu reviews with unmitigated sadness that the republican isp issue IS STILL NOT RESOLVED.

ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: cute little portal to the netherworld you got there
a111: Logged on 2017-04-21 02:45 mircea_popescu: multiple servers!!!* (* terms and conditions apply. one wife for each soldier means everyone's fucking the same old rubber chicken)
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> 9931...5093 divides RSA Moduli belonging to all of mexico! << But is the RSA moduli warm letting you know it just emerged from the worm's ass?
a111: Logged on 2017-04-20 21:31 mircea_popescu: in other news, qntra slow but present.
a111: Logged on 2017-04-20 21:19 mircea_popescu: i know i'd pay a premium to wipe my ass with argentina for years to come.
a111: Logged on 2017-04-20 13:52 mircea_popescu: yes. it doesn't mean "money-as-property" in the sense of "old destroyed world, i get to keep my money". it means money as property in the sense of, money IS A PROPERTY of other objects. like being the color red.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: ~0
a111: Logged on 2017-04-20 13:49 mircea_popescu: one is to regard it as a symbol, the other is to regard it as a property.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: possibly ~now~ you can picture why asciilifeform's picture of conway switched , at that time, from 'hmm, but vlsi!' to 'i wonder where conway stole the credit for vlsi'
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: waiwat, involved where

asciilifeform: it, as mircea_popescu likes to say, 'does not prevail!111'
asciilifeform: just as mircea_popescu didn't care to bow to brezhnev. ( regardless of how fragmentary was his picture of how -- precisely -- brezhnev's palace decisionmaking conveyor worked. )
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: in point of fact i dealt with mice for years and have plenty of respect.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the q of 'live there people sufficiently non-stupid to make alternative' is separate from 'is there alternative'
asciilifeform: i can see how mircea_popescu might like to imagine that it does.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu does not see diff b/w 'getting' a d00d shot with mircea_popescu's very long hand, vs campaigning to have d00d declared 'enemy of the people' with kgb anon denunciations ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: forget the jewwishwoman sense of the word, public discredit
a111: Logged on 2017-04-19 15:46 mircea_popescu: it's unfortunate that a schmuck who actually had the unmitigated audacity to tell people he is a "chair of blabla" was also so fucking clueless as to not know the foregoing, and truly expected he'll be playing with his dickie in the sand unfettered cca 2004. but then again -- this is the just desserts for sinking one's time and productive life in the idiotic line of chasing nonsense.,
asciilifeform: also of interest possibly to mircea_popescu is that l & co worked on 'practical' items, how to optimize wheat, potato. v & co worked on flies.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: psychology, such as described here, unfortunately found a second life -- propping up american pharma 'industry'.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu can probably also tell how many years a wine aged by naked eye.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: can only tell if the dye is poor, or runs, etc. was the idea.
