mircea_popescu: is this a different paxum maybe ?
asciilifeform: hanbot: i suspect that the entire idea of centralized bulletin board for 'buy & sell coin' is as intrinsically usgistic as that of a gox (i.e. centralized coin/fiat exchange). it makes for an irresistible target, and is why all to date eventually were killed & replaced w/ honeypot taxidermy of self
mircea_popescu: hanbot, really ? they were making a big deal about trying to benefit from localbitcoin closure
a111: Logged on 2019-06-17 05:49 mircea_popescu: in other http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-05#1917374 obscura : apparently the "just as good" (spoiler : not very good) replacement is something called "paxum". also the hardcore wannabes / rape victims gathered around "ethereum" made a localethers something or the other clone, of course.
BingoBoingo: Anyways, punchline of the last one is that the worst sites in the US aren't on the list because USG.MIL
BingoBoingo: Throwing out how the world appears to work as I understand it for the readers because I have the good fortune of having good reader who can rattle me closer to correctness if I am too far off
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: ty, fixed. trishophood would be some ways out. The last dozen few month's blog posts are mostly thought and note organization.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile in #harem news, tangle (tm) wrist-bound but otherwise nude raver girlies make for a pretty... well, interior decoration, how shall we put this.
mircea_popescu: in light of the marked tendency of your last dozen or so articles, is it the case you're sorta training in the corner for a trishophood ?
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo, "short windows of time"
BingoBoingo: Anyways the Uruguayos did demonstrate they are not as fucked as the Argentines by at least an order of magnitude, maybe two or three will be demonstrated by July first
mircea_popescu: too bad slavery's no longer the default resolution of tort.
BingoBoingo: Anyways, Argentine fuckery opened all sorts of torts
BingoBoingo: Deeper investigation after the Qntra on the subject turned up the interconnect station that shat the bed was taking input from the Salto Grande Uruguay and Argentina share the frame of in addition to the big Paraguay dam
mircea_popescu: yeah, the more modern, mroe efficient dam gear squeezes that extra % at the cost of all sorts of intolerances. you can't run a dam on no load
BingoBoingo: 1860s all over again except triple alliance is Brazil and the two guays against Deptitina
BingoBoingo: If Argentina's fuckery took Paraguay's dam out of sync and damaged anything there aren't enough turkeys over there to resolve that tort
BingoBoingo: Not unprobably. Whatever Argentina's bureacrats do by candelight tomorrow is probably going to piss off both rotary-guays
mircea_popescu: should never have been permitted to exist in the first place, unseemly fucking abscess on the butt of the world.
mircea_popescu: they can do whatever it is they do without. without power, without anything else. in fact -- they could do whatever it is they do just as well without existing at all.
BingoBoingo: Especially not since their are importing luz to run resistive heaters that don't do SHA-256
BingoBoingo: What is more dificult to discern is whether Argentina is restoring their power and how quickly
mircea_popescu: alrighty then!
BingoBoingo: Within 8 hours, most of Uruguay had power restored. Apparently across the river that was not the case
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I have power, Uruguay in general has power, rack appears to have never lost power.
mircea_popescu: trinque, hey, were you gonna do something about that count so it's not lifetime but "currently active" ? or where was the discussion left at
mircea_popescu: (ethereum people are really 100% about bitcoin, kinda like how us-based, nominally "protestant" supposedly independent "churches" are 100% about catholicism ; or us-based "nigger hating" / "taking down the zog machine jew by jew by jew" "white power" groups are 100% about please fuck my wife now, she's ovulating. it's the us thing, don't ask me to explain it.)

asciilifeform: ('r4000' is the earliest ~64bit~ mipsoid)
a111: Logged on 2019-06-15 19:14 asciilifeform: aim is a 'mips 4000' compat. item (for ease of hardwarization, when time comes) if anyone cares. and at some pt will also have to port gnat, cuntoo... to it.
asciilifeform: far upstack : this is typo : correct mips in question is the 'r3000'. ☝︎
BingoBoingo: Also back to exporting electricity to Argentina though unsure what load on their grid they could be satifying given their very slow restoration of luz
BingoBoingo: An update on the power situation: Since the local power company must compensate customers for outages here, today's events incurred a rather substantial damage. Curious to see the fireworks that'll happen whether or not UTE pursues the money from Argentina's power company.

BingoBoingo: Crowd appeared to have temporarily altered the city's demographics sufficiently to be ~Portland instead of ~Detroit for the day
BingoBoingo: Apparently 6, maybe 7 figure paleface crowd went to Saint Louis to celebrate them getting the hockey trophy. There apparently were no typical "urban" incidents of note.
BingoBoingo: The bubble though is very visible in baseball where, without salary caps or other "fairness" things.. the free agent market has been very dead the past two years.
mircea_popescu: nah, it cycled later. peaked in the 90s. will be i nthe same hole 2025ish
BingoBoingo: Hockey appears to be thriving either in spite, or because it doesn't draw the excess ananlyst wank Basketball and handegg do
mircea_popescu: for the first time ever, the 1-in-10 girls athlete (aka stripper) will outincome the 1-in-100k boy athlete (aka black dude)
BingoBoingo: It seems the US sports bubble is fairly well popped with the NFL and NBA having popped the most.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> that and declining cable interest. << So Antel has a free tv streaming thing all of their customers can use. One of its few channels is NBA network
BingoBoingo: I suspect "la criticaron" when used by Mujica is him trying to sell his socialism as Frenchish
mircea_popescu: or maybe the us infrastructure's crumbling to the degree nba actually has to play in uruguay
BingoBoingo: I suspect some sort of exhibition or maybe the Harlem globetrotters misrepresented as the NBA. Worst NBA team versus national champion Aguada could be pretty lulzy
mircea_popescu: these orc minds in which "to critique" is the up to date, digital way to say the bad
BingoBoingo: Note that in the Argentine-Uruguay interconnection relationship... Argentina is the IMPORTER!
BingoBoingo: Argentine coverage of the matter http://archive.is/gw1GY
BingoBoingo: Does not appear to have affected the Pizarro rack. Took out power in the habitation module for some time.
BingoBoingo: In other news ARGIES FUCKED ELECTRICITY UP today
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: ty
asciilifeform went and dug up 'asciilifeform in bmore' thrd, and saw that he used a rubbish image paste thing. this was a mistake, and nao corrected. perma-archive of the item nao here. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: just not native to any system you can buy, is all.
diana_coman: pretty much like that; better than cpp
diana_coman: that much is true and partially why the old houses are "better" - because at least less mchouse in principle, at least along the lines that it's anyway picked as "the best of old houses since the worst are anyway not even standing anymore"
mircea_popescu: yes, but standardized "the times" housing as available now is... well...
diana_coman: from at least one perspective, it's hard to argue why would one ever actually *want* to leave in someone else's house - assuming that it was indeed built to fit the original owner's specific idiosynchrasies rather than to fit the times, the neighbours, the architect or whatever else
mircea_popescu: sure, one might preserve them, as museums. but i wouldn't wanna live in the house a rich jew from 1819 built for himself and his family anymore than i'd wanna live in the mote & baily some never-washed briton built for the ugly lass he broke his prick in
mircea_popescu: one of the first articles on trilema is about ~this. my opinion hasn't mellowed out with age, but on the contrary -- from an utilitarian perspective, the leftover constructions are fit for demolition and naught else.
mircea_popescu: but it's also not rock -- that stands upon itself as only support.
diana_coman: well, look we got ps "for free" and it's not even THAT old!
asciilifeform reminded by this of the time he went to bmore and was shown around various ruins, 'wouldja like to buy the whole block? why not?' then added up the cost of terraforming...
mircea_popescu: diana_coman, have visited, would not live there.
asciilifeform: admittedly -- not tried.
mircea_popescu: you think so because you've never tried. but it is my considered oppinion retrofitting bath into 1800s "palace" is marginally more pleasant than retrofitting sane memory managemet into windows excel.
asciilifeform: easier at any rate than building time machine to plant, lol, orchard in '70
asciilifeform: retrofitting a toilet, bath, aint exactly mars mission tho
diana_coman: I don't think I actually know of ANY orchard as I'd want it in whole Romania, myeah.
diana_coman: renovated old buildings so I'd assume they actually have that sort of thing but admittedly I haven't actually visited any of those myself (and fwiw afaik wineyards or woods rather than orchards)
mircea_popescu would not take "classic" euro "palace" for free, piece of shit HAS NO BATHROOMS
mircea_popescu: nothing built before 1950 is built in any fucking sense, what, ima dynamite pathways for plumbing through their haphazard river rock and mortar aglomerations ?
mircea_popescu: (notwithstanding that i do not believe the item described physically exists in this whole oregon, because the locals are monkeys)
mircea_popescu: and, obviously, it'd have to not be in this jurisdiction, because romania sucks.
mircea_popescu: i guess other trees might work, but certainly not fucking "prodution" apple or other 3 meter tall lolshits
mircea_popescu: ideally what i'd want would be 16 or so hectare's worth of wel ldrained soil on calcarous substrate, moderatelly hilly, covered in walnut or mixed cherry planted 20 meters apart sometime around 1970 ; within 20 miles of a main road but not closer than 5.
mircea_popescu: depends on the tree, but anyways
asciilifeform: moreover, old but not ~too~, iirc the tree is good for 2-3 decades
mircea_popescu: item has to have narrowly pre-existed me
mircea_popescu: moreover, how are they gonna make it be in an old orchard ?
asciilifeform: this is a point, ameristani matchstick dwellings much cheaper to rework
mircea_popescu: yeah, but how are they gonna excavate a floor underneath ?
asciilifeform without even being mircea_popescu , in the past negotiated 'i'll rent this if you put in x, y, z' leases
mircea_popescu: (srsly people, what the FUCK is the point of having tubs smaller than the human being ? you don't make beds like that, do you ?)
mircea_popescu: shitty, 1 bathroom per floor and what's a 3x3 meter tub
mircea_popescu: it's the saddest thing...
asciilifeform: perhaps can rent that gitmo branch office bush II built in ro. betcha has rings.
mircea_popescu: they like... marry them instead and shit.
mircea_popescu: you can not rent the hosue i'd build for any money. mostly because nobody generally includes half inch thick steel rings in the little girls' basement cellrooms
asciilifeform: i thought mircea_popescu rented errywhere, i.e. nowhere actually +ev to own the walls
mircea_popescu: and don't ask me how this is possible. i have nfi how it is possible. i agree it violates basic economic laws.
mircea_popescu: somehow romania consists of a large aggregate pile of debris whose individual cost to own exceeds both expected lifetime utility and replacement value
mircea_popescu: unless i rent a mall... and honestly, the shit here is not worth owning.
a111: Logged on 2019-05-23 19:57 mircea_popescu: hello all, from the european castle mp!
mircea_popescu: as cool concrete two level subteranean "parking" / basement built to industrial standards would be... in this shithole it'd be a liability more than anything.
asciilifeform: hm i thought mircea_popescu already did this last mo
mircea_popescu: anyways, i was entertaining vague "why not buy a few acres of orchard somewhere, plant down a haremhous". but i'm now thoroughly disabused of a notion
mircea_popescu: o look at that, they can't even do internets.
mircea_popescu: s what the bottom half of the top quarter are doing.
