mp_en_viaje: problem is,
took empire decade.5
to start mumbling about it ; and by now it's way
too late, and
their mumbling is vaguely reminiscent of bush jr's arab genocide attempt.
mp_en_viaje: i get it,
they don't do (enough) of what you want
them
to. but
they do what
they want
to, for some reason
they decided
to go in
through
the phone hole. and
they're in, orcs buy huawei, and declare it better
than reich.

the icbc is quite present here,
to
the point
they do consumer advertising either. yet
the argentines don't seem
to have created any sort of synthetic debenture based proxy for
the chinese currency
a111: Logged on 2017-02-07 04:38 mircea_popescu: "Examples of existing business arrangements
that constitute violations of
the foreign-emoluments clause include: China’s state-owned Industrial and Commercial Bank of China is
the largest
tenant in
Trump
Tower, and
the state-owned Bank of China is a major lender
to
Trump."
mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform,
that;s nonsense. huawei currnently owns
the "smart"phone market. it's
their own phone, it's better
than
the reich phone, etc.
☟︎ BingoBoingo: Shame Mandarin as a single language appears potentially more crippling
than English on an individual level (on a population level, very organized).
BingoBoingo: And how does
that materially differ from Google?
BingoBoingo: Huawei already owns
the high end fondleslab pNohe market outside
the US. Not like
they can't use owning
the market
to shift what
the warez is.
BingoBoingo: Well, what could have went into
that would have not gone into eating
the market
BingoBoingo: I mean its not like China has
their MIPS alternative anywhere visible
mp_en_viaje: why did petrus play
the servant for as long as he did ?
a111: Logged on 2019-05-22 22:27 BingoBoingo: I don't see why
they'd do anything other
than rebrand and stop paying licenses
mp_en_viaje: bane of my fucking existence,
the leds.
twenty years ago i could safely go on greyhound
trip around. not anymore -- every
two bit blue collar driver
thinks
the best way
to improve his life is add some 10 cent uv leds randomly aroundm.
mp_en_viaje: it's fucking
terrible, an yclub with "cool" black lights is instabanned
mp_en_viaje: anyway,
the mutantism is
that i apparently see like parrots, ie, well into uv spectrum.
mp_en_viaje: imo
this good rule of
thumb in professional colorization anyway. if you're so badly stuck you need yellow/green border,
time
to
think of adding pedals instead.
mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, a weaker case of deuteranomaly
than
there displayed with an even weaker case of protanomaly.

the 1 fella i know
to have mutant eye
BingoBoingo: Except Warsaw Pact and US economies didn't interact in quite
this way
BingoBoingo: In other news,
there was a general strike for a few hours
today. Other
than parade fucking with
traffic
the impact was ~0
BingoBoingo: The question is how long will it
take
the white worms
to realize
their "license" revenue isn't going
to keep
them fat anymore
BingoBoingo: Note ARM can't stop shipping chips because
they can't fab.
BingoBoingo: I don't see why
they'd do anything other
than rebrand and stop paying licenses
☟︎ BingoBoingo: I dunno if
the "US sanctions" wank is going
to survive 2025
lobbes: asciilifeform:
that's a pretty nifty color-blindness simulator. I'ma have
to save for later (I work with someone who is colorblind in meatspace; never sure what is infuriating
to his eye)

the opinion of ~all successful merchants of
the original most serene republic, along with ALL other successful merchants, up
to and including
the phanarioti Ἰωάννης Γεώργιος Καρατζάς), "saving" is a misnomer. you may expend a ~SMALL~ fraction of your income. not save a small fraction
thereof. living on 1-2-3% of what you make, aged 20
to 30
lobbes: same; looks ok
to my eyes
diana_coman: asciilifeform: nice; colours look ok
to me.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> ( incidentally, given as
there's a pete_dushenski
thread in
there -- loox like his www has been stone-dead for coupla wks nao ) << It recently started loading for me again

the 50s a bank CLERK lived in roughly what alf
thinks palatial.

they
taught in ameri-hs (e.g. 'if you put in 100 $ , yr later can have 105' , and other meanwhile-retracted 'communism by 1980' promiseisms )
a111: Logged on 2019-05-22 19:08 lobbes: Long-story short, I woke up one morning and came
to
the realization
that I have not been saving and am headed
towards ye olde
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-29#1875979; panicked, etc.
Then I cooled it for a second and continued reading, came across
http://btcbase.org/log/2019-05-19#1914702 and realized
that me running
to xyz without any idea of what I'd *do* is not any better
than what I'm doing now.

this is
the cornerstone of survival :
the adversative relationship. as long as you know you're
there
to steal, you measure how much you steal, and you get out on some sort of
time horizon, you may survive.
lobbes: Whether I like it or not, I am currently in a
http://btcbase.org/log/2019-05-19#1914704 situation. Problem is
that while I have been measuring, I have not been stealing enough nor have I set any
time horizon for escape. It is now clear
to me
that I must remedy
this before I can really do anything else.

truth i do feel like idjit for being old man without
the brains
to have saved anything. i don't even have a workshop full of shit like asciilifeform

to
the blogging desk
to assemble more Uruguay perspectives with lobbes and whaack showing interest in visiting
the place.
lobbes:
http://btcbase.org/log/2019-05-19#1914718 << I will definitely read, and am still interested in eventually visiting.
Though I will say after reading
the various
threads re:escape from last week I have a lot more clarity on wtf I should be doing in
the shorter-term. I may have
to wait a bit before a Uruguay
trip
☝︎ mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, didn't your favourite chemist
take up literature ?
