mircea_popescu: doesn't she carry a frown worth a thousand bucks. what do you do for a living lilmzthang , accounts collecting ?
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes, anyway, my usercase is pocket camera. if one wants to shoot movement in a cubic foot on a table at home, that'd conceivably be a diff cam.
mircea_popescu: ckang, as far as the people outside are concerned, they're no longer trusted.
mircea_popescu: ascii_lander, i actually routinely use it to zoom in distant writing. nifty as fuck.
mircea_popescu: and they're neither heavy nor expensive. it's the first time i see a digicam that actually sees better than i do.
mircea_popescu: in unrelated news : i can't recommend the dsc-rx100 quite warmly enough. it's a splendid sony compact with zeiss lenses that's easily the best camera i ever saw.
☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes, your choice is between how much revenue you wanna forego.
mircea_popescu: i'm not saying, you know, "dump the thing you have", jesus christ. i am saying, use it. build on it. blog landing pages, why the hell not.
mircea_popescu: mod6, i don't even think it can't be the blog. just you know, have buncha pics directly visible.
mircea_popescu: mod6, yeah, for the first time it's getting to the point where sales rather than gear are the bottleneck.
mircea_popescu: but i guess hacking up some of the trip pics into a theme for pizarro mp-wp can be your pet project
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes, of course, it'll help if you have... a website :D
mircea_popescu: because either of these new fellows with ~proven~ godly patience dealing with whores could make a great asset for you.
mircea_popescu: ascii_lander, mod6 ben_vulpes the above q is serious, btw. have someone represent you on digitalpoint / whatever hosting forums ? or you deem it premature ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: ckang, depends "below zero from whom". it's a graph, you understand ?
mircea_popescu: anyway, i must say your capacity has increased beautifully, you're one trip away from actually having enough gear to be able to cover costs, if it hasn'rt happened already, huh.
mircea_popescu: mod6, yeah. slack in the gears is good for all the gears.
mircea_popescu: so i guess the good news is that there's an optionable machine if things get tight. esp we'll get a better idea later on how stable phuctor is etc.
mircea_popescu: ascii_lander, the way i'm seeing it is, we can't really deny item to the pizarro folk, if indeed they sell out all the rest of their space and we're not using our box we'll kinda have to sell it to them. IF.
mircea_popescu: ascii_lander, moving on to more interesting things, do we have any plans to put anything on the nsa spare ? or is it literally just to sit there unpowered indefinitely ?
mircea_popescu: endless potential for lulz at idiots' expense with this wot thing. which is what it's for.
mircea_popescu: ascii_lander, it's not a firm "no trading with bozos" ; seems to me you appreciate the distinction between selling an item and selling hosting in other contexts. people that are willing to take your cash payment upfront for a piece of hard candy might nevertheless not agree to rent you their garage.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: but in any possible read of this whole thing, it's ONE thing to say, "oh, you're new, here, register a key and i'll rate you 1 and now you're in the wot and all's well" amnd it's ANOTHER thing to say "well, someone negrated you but i think he's a moron anyway"
mircea_popescu: well i mean, you don't have a standard that's comprehensible from the oustide, as it stands now.
mircea_popescu: if you're not going to enforce it we might just as well go home.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes, you'll have to have some words in that board of yours ; on one hand this is outright offensive, and im quite considering unrating you for it ; on the other hand ascii_lander can't be hurring about what people ~might~ do while you folk are out there dealing with the declared enemy.
mircea_popescu: as the guy said, aspects of civilisation require leisure.
mircea_popescu: aaand in due time trilema produced titwrit coneisseurs, discerning and not easily satisfied.
mircea_popescu: in fact, the whole tits for bits thing is 100% equivalent to entirety of usg economy. "show up for work".
mircea_popescu: usg inmate, produces 0, eats epsilon, is taxed 0. french landslave produced epsilon, was taxed 10% epsilon, ate .9 epsilon.
mircea_popescu: but on the other hand, peasant ACTUALLY HAD TO MAKE the dough in question. wasn't just passive recipient of imaginary govt printouts.
mircea_popescu: rent = 10% of income was huge, on account of "crazy paris expenses"
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes, this ustard style of paying > 5-10% for real estate scam is unknown in history.
mircea_popescu: sandi3, sure. topless entertainer of enemies of the state.
