asciilifeform: Mocky: out of curiosity, didja see even one dog ?
asciilifeform: ( what's next , pet pig rescue in israel ?? )
asciilifeform: diana_coman: ikr? it's the last thing i'd think of pitching to dar-al-islam☟︎
asciilifeform: Mocky: funnily enuff, it's how i deal with americans..
asciilifeform: thus far sounds like typical savages, with both plus and minus, won't buy 'how to dig well' but will buy musket.
asciilifeform: but i'ma let Mocky elaborate, possibly diff will become clear
asciilifeform: diana_coman: hmm, from my reading seems that they won't pay anybody for 'which screw' , gotta also supply a physical talisman they can hang on wall
asciilifeform: possibly will be a tough audience for the traditional type of consulting, where you '$ 1 : turned screw $499,999 -- knowing which screw'
asciilifeform: Mocky: sounds like they're perfect candidates for selling iron to, rather than softs, then
asciilifeform: Mocky: is the implication also that they dun bother to look into totalcostofownership before buying ? hence the legends of bedouin sheiks buying a merc and leaving it in desert when fuel tank empty ..?☟︎
asciilifeform: and come to think of it, i dun think i've used mine in several yrs.
asciilifeform: afaik the only thinking folx today with copy of 'flash' are , like asciilifeform , running it on dedicated winblowz leprosorium, specifically for unpacking virii which require it...
asciilifeform: whereas 'html5' past ~decade of graphical browsers will mostly display (if with eggogs)
asciilifeform: they're distinguishable ~only in that 'flash' at this point requires elaborate gymnastics to run, involving pretty much sacrifice of a whole box (sorta like java)
asciilifeform: but for the most part crapple succeeded in exterminating flashism ( to replace with own 'html5' abortion )
asciilifeform: somewhere, on some forgotten www, prolly even 'shockwave' lingers
asciilifeform: really, keccak oughta be doable in-place. but i haven't loaded it into my head yet and cannot immediately say how to rewrite equation so that it could
asciilifeform: possibly my stack is set smaller than yours ?
asciilifeform: it will have to be cured at some point, keccakization currently eats 8x moar memory (9x if counting the fact that it cannot run in-place) than it ought☟︎
asciilifeform: phf: not sure yet, the bytes->bits bloatism might get in the way
asciilifeform: i was on a box without the standalone keccak, so tried to use vdiff to get keccakization
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: best as i can tell, nuffin but samsung n30, n150, lenovo s10-2 (but not s10-3, i opened one and no dice, cabling too short) will eat the thing.
asciilifeform: it's moar or less ideal box for expeditions into deep orcistan. but to work on it all day would be pretty painful.
asciilifeform: the 'qi' crystal has '90s-style viewing angle, too. coupla degrees left or right and it's ~half visible. i suppose for some applications this, too, is win
asciilifeform: at least i can only with difficulty picture anybody wanting to steal it..
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo : it's pretty much exactly like those things sold in the sunday market in BingoBoingostan
asciilifeform: in moar minor noose, http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-18#1863610 is a++ display but pretty sad box, i forgot just how rubbishy these were, cramped kbd with coarse molded plastic feels like sumthing straight from toy store, touch pad thing is the size of 2 postage stamps, arm rest creaks...☝︎
asciilifeform: usa is a peculiar horror, with little-to-no reliable public transport in most places; but pretty much errywhere else, could easily do as above
asciilifeform: re drivers -- why not, e.g., combine license and taxi medallion. wanna drive ? register as driver, buy medallion, dun have to carry passengers or paint livery on 'cab' if you dun feel like, but pony up.
