mp_en_viaje: not worth much money, this idea -- by now the screens are so fucking cheap...
mp_en_viaje: well, one idea is to accidentally break it.
asciilifeform: i wish i were making this up.
asciilifeform: spin the goat!
mp_en_viaje: you must've had the v2.0
asciilifeform: nor unplugging, it had battery thing
asciilifeform: wonder of wonders, the power button did 0
BingoBoingo: Here they are failing in the food delivery market. The entrenched local-ish PedidosYa still has that.
asciilifeform: i then swore off the lulzscamcab thing for good
mp_en_viaje personally sunk the idiotic "entrepreneurial idea" trying that in tm as one of his last measures leaving.
asciilifeform: driver swore 'need it to make ends meet'
asciilifeform: and not even supplied by 'uber' , was own thing
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: on my last 'uberism' there was 'last straw that broke the camel', was a screen bolted to the seats showing ad liquishit ~with sound effects!~, ding! ding! , could not be switched off
mp_en_viaje: politics is at the root and core the os of the cunt marketplace.
mp_en_viaje: it's much more interesting political topic than anything found in the "media".
BingoBoingo: <mp_en_viaje> the boys are wise to it, too. which is why every kid with daddy's money bmw has the app installed. it's like tinder for the orcs. << Here the kids get the Uber cars on some sort of ruinous credit. Run 5 or six other ride apps at the same time.
asciilifeform: iirc there were special-purpose ones that e.g. BingoBoingo used, to some effect
asciilifeform: there's prolly 'app' that will promise to remove warts also for them.
mp_en_viaje: but yes, the societal cohesion that produced the cunt marketplace you describe meanwhile collapsed.
mp_en_viaje: well, now there's an app.
asciilifeform: if they broke it, their own problem neh.
asciilifeform: at any rate the trad mechanism for the sad orc chix was supposed to be http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-12#1871537 ☝︎
mp_en_viaje: as opposed to you know, dead in the water.
asciilifeform: nowhere, why does 'horseface' think she earns a moneyed cock.
mp_en_viaje: where's she to run into cock ?
mp_en_viaje: what's she to do ? she can't take the strip clubs in turns like my whores. she doesn't really want to go clubbing, it's too loud and stupid, not to mention ~dead.
asciilifeform: it's hilarious, take just 1 ride on the thing and then week later snailmail spamola re 'dontcha wanna buy a new merc at 5% + penalties' etc
mp_en_viaje: consider the orc cuntlet's perpsective. she's precious, wen to school, is dental hygienist or w/e. vehehehery preoccupied of bodily integrity and other "single daugther of two parents +4 grandparents" aging society issues
asciilifeform: i suppose in orcistans they dun sell'em the merc on credit, so perhaps 'works'
mp_en_viaje: i would estimate about one third of uber trips in romania result in a date.
asciilifeform tried it a coupla times for lulz, but has limited patience for 'nao walk 3km east to find the cab' 'oops it moved'
mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, this is after all what pantsuitism is all about, the minimal bar of success in the empire -- being different things for different people.
mp_en_viaje: leaving the older people with the medallions wondering wtf.
mp_en_viaje: the boys are wise to it, too. which is why every kid with daddy's money bmw has the app installed. it's like tinder for the orcs.
mp_en_viaje: orc cuntlet's ur-dream, this, "what if there were an app on my phone that could send over young boys with cars"
asciilifeform: ( 'legal' themed pantsuitism )
mp_en_viaje: it's many things. in orclands, it's a dating service
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: possibly yer thinking of lessig et al
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-05-11#1912396 << at the core, it's a scheme to get derps to buy new cars, on ruinous credit. the 'cabbies' paid out of 'investor' printolade, but i suspect the car vendors pay kickback to the orig scammer, and 1 day will be found precisely how ☝︎
mp_en_viaje: i seem to remember a different "legal online community" centered on some blog
mp_en_viaje: bunches of these, keep coming and going.
asciilifeform: ( via the mechanism described by mp_en_viaje upstack. )
asciilifeform: went fullbore tard tho iirc. years ago.
a111: Logged on 2017-12-29 00:48 mircea_popescu: where the fuck is that piece commenting on how soviet citizens all sooner or later wake up to the disney quality of their state ?
mp_en_viaje: aaanyways, in unrelated news, seems 0.0.0.0 cloudfront.net > /etc/hosts mostly gets rid of those obnoxious "european union thinks it can legislate" popups. ☟︎
mp_en_viaje: BingoBoingo, entirely possible it's the side project of one of the foregoing. "covering all bases", typical approach for ambitious pencilneck in law, finance, etc.
BingoBoingo: But deathly allergic to name using
BingoBoingo: Hard to tell if bonafide collective or guy pretending to be collective
mp_en_viaje: BingoBoingo, oh, is this the collective thingee, mirror of "motley money" or that law blog with "a community" whichever it was ?
mp_en_viaje: (which, to come round circle, explains what the unpaid orc tards are doing. they're "the voice of their people").
BingoBoingo: <mp_en_viaje> asciilifeform, anyway, re "the subject dood" : http://trilema.com/2018/in-which-a-bizarre-character-wanks-it/ << Nah, this other one http://trilema.com/2013/apparently-im-not-the-only-one-pointing-out-the-obvious/
mp_en_viaje: makes no sense whatsoever upon the slightest examination, but the impulse's there, because social conditioning's a thing.
mp_en_viaje: and then, of course, gotta count the amusongly strong effects of brainwashing, and carefully curated childhood automatisms. girl who was cutting school to bdsm as a 16yo still has a[n inexplicable] impulse of protest when "underage" sexuality's involved.
mp_en_viaje: aha, from the yet other polar opposite, quite exactly.
mp_en_viaje: very amusing application of the divide and conquer theory (or, from the converse perspective, obviously enough the rock bottom of all stupidity will appeal to most idiots)
mp_en_viaje: it's very much the case, that one wants to fuck 16yos, this one wants to collect guns (he sure as fuck won't use), that other one doesn't like ids this other one doesn't like intel, but in the end, out of a hundred issues each of a hundred "rebels" likes 99 just fine.
asciilifeform: it's somewhat like tryin' to recall a particular cockroach
asciilifeform: there's a mass of these, i dun recall a particular
mp_en_viaje: recall the anally loosened jew who was very much against the anally loosening regime "in general" except for the part where "media companies", that part is great ?
mp_en_viaje: be that one thing whatever it may be, substantial discussion doesn't usually get too far, because all the other things they not merely tolerate, but rather, very deeply believe in.
asciilifeform: iirc mp_en_viaje had another piece, where 'went to dentist? why then fight with the anaesthesiologist' etc
mp_en_viaje: they got issues, you understand, the various "liberated" esltards are typically single-issue rebels, they like socialism in general except for ONE THING
mp_en_viaje: always born too late too soon, eh.
asciilifeform still 'bites elbows' re having missed the period when lispm were being pawned off 'for gold reclamation', for pennies
mp_en_viaje: just talkin' in general.
mp_en_viaje: not like they had it.
asciilifeform: let'em think they are being rid of junk. wouldja argue with an idjit who is selling rembrandt as wallpaper.
mp_en_viaje: it's not like intel's paying them a drilled penny. but there they sit, true orcs, doing it for free.
mp_en_viaje: well, not to me, but yes.
mp_en_viaje: fucking mortidifame, romanian rottinculo, "don't recommend". can even lead to bsod!!!
asciilifeform: the ones selling the irons?!!
mp_en_viaje: and re the brains of toad : various dorks explained to me why "tjhey don't recommend amd".
asciilifeform goes back to own head bang wall, which is slowly yielding
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: try an' make it clear, 'no payment processors' etc
BingoBoingo: "You set up a decent website? Better make sure its in a foreign land and one which isn't subject to US/EU powers. Better avoid using major payment processors because they will shut you down whilst you're at it." << Fuck You I'm already in Uruguay
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Banging my head into this wall for the next few hours
asciilifeform: ( iirc at one time he linked to my www... why, i never found out )
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: see if you can find what remains of the subj d00d, write to'im.
asciilifeform: and will simply go to another usg.hoster
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i would have said 'god's gift to piz' -- but seems like 100% of the afflicted idjits haven't half the brain of a fucking toad
mp_en_viaje: approx, "rome's in flames, in tears and in slaughter, for the Caesar knows it worse than even he himself ; the wine in golden goblet and blood upon the stairs, debauchery of wine within, debauched blood without... but such as it is, bizarre and criminal, Nero's the attempt at being original."
mp_en_viaje: and yes, i guess it's closer to $9, 40 lei.
BingoBoingo: Well, less people in the US leaving their local isp hubs now
asciilifeform: most of what's offered in usa, is like this.
spyked: so the 1000 is just marketing, no argument there.
spyked: asciilifeform, they advertise gigabit, but home connections don't "guarantee" that, i.e. it may go to 900 Mbps on a good day. to answer mp_en_viaje's question: the 100 difference (or 1000 - 600 = 400) may be other home users sharing the pipe, QoS policies, peering or simply natbox not being able to process (typically, the home media converter/router they provide is shit)
asciilifeform also bbl, teatime.
asciilifeform: (i.e. that'd be 500-600 mb/s )
asciilifeform: aah so mp_en_viaje measured 70-80 mB (not mb) ? then pretty great
mp_en_viaje: spyked, so if you get 50 Mbps (and I get 70-80, no argument), how is this 1Gbps ?
spyked: yep. it's 1000 download/400 upload (tho in truth, I never managed to fill the gigabit download pipe; whether it's my equipment or some issue with the isp infrastructure, no idea)
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: it'd be 400. ( typically bw advertised in 'megabit', so mB * 8 )
mp_en_viaje: i don't follow the logic ? 50 is not 1000 ?
asciilifeform: spyked: there's the matter of consistency also. isp overselling bw is pestilentially common.
spyked: asciilifeform, I am currently downloading (from house mogosanu into slave galley in bucharest) w cca 50MB/s, where the B stands for octets. so defo works as advertised where I am
mp_en_viaje: BingoBoingo, possible different grades tho.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: sounds like you built a new base in ro ? ( or didja get that 80Mb/s into a hotel! it did not occur to asciilifeform to try this.. )
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Nominal reason is that the plant still exists and would Brasil even bother shipping chlorine to Uruguay (Can't risk Industria Argentina lowballing the bid).
asciilifeform: ( no tax is ever cancelled in ameristan )
asciilifeform: on the telephones of the period.
