mircea_popescu: "i thought he was a great guy, right, so then i moved in with him, and OMFG HE IS INSUFFERABLE
mircea_popescu: add to that the FUCKING INSANE tlp being annoying as fuck, i'm having a blogging crisis over here
mircea_popescu: i don't think i have the stomach for more ; which is why the publish-with-drescriptions-instead-of-links model, it's the choice of this or not fucking publish at all.
mircea_popescu: i spent 60% of the time with that article hunting for references.
mircea_popescu: i dunno wtf i'm going to do here, but it's becoming a serious problem, i'm starting to bump against an objective limit in reality.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, if there's one of those <A href=[word description] broken links, the most useful thing is the link, if known
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, nah, it's not expected to work atm. trying to figure out what i want here.
mircea_popescu: deliberate. cuz it's the keyword, repeats throughot article
mircea_popescu: i specificalty recall describing this situation in munchen whereby i took cab driver all over bars, trying to find some with decent seating, didn't find any, at end dude was like "well, there's no more left on the list, you have to sit here" and i was like "bitch, i dun have to anything"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, more importantly, how do i searc for the string "don't have" ?
mircea_popescu: this becomes quite inconvenient then, end up with duplicate field or wtf.
mircea_popescu: not every browser cca 1999 or some shit. by now, you can rely on it.
mircea_popescu: ie, not only im never gonna mandate inca's "ntp", but i'm not even going to make anything like it.
mircea_popescu: blockheight is the republican timekeeping item, and in the case of logs that's self-evidently line counts.
mircea_popescu: i have no intention o fforcing anything like "time", because (as per ancient discussion i suspect meanwhole forgotten but which i still remember) fiat time is doomed non-republican construct.
mircea_popescu: phf, wouldja take it to #asciilifeform or whatever already.
mircea_popescu: but yes, most coins are simply worth less than it'd cost to make
mircea_popescu: i was talking more re the whole best korea "false benjie'
mircea_popescu: should prolly be pretty lulzy hole to exploit, make old moneys.
mircea_popescu: wth is the story of that guy who kept moving $9999 from mexico eventually they stopped him ?
mircea_popescu: as these are collectors' items, they obviously do not count as money for, eg, [][crossing borders].
mircea_popescu: the 1928C and D series 5-dolalr bills again 1-200 up to 1500-2k+ (and the 1929 brown seal can be good too, esp the finer grades 1k++) ; the 1928 E series one-dollars can be 2-300 / 1k to 15k for very fine bills.
mircea_popescu: the 1934B and C series (green seal) go for 3-4k each, and 5k+ in CU ; the 1928 gold 50s go for 1-200 and 250+ ; the 1928 C (green seal) 20 is goot for 1-200 / 1k+ ; the 1934 yelow seal 10 dollar bill can be 1-2k / 10k+ each (as it's very rare)
mircea_popescu: the 1928 gold seal issuance easily fetches 5k and even upwards of 10k CU and above grades, per bill. (pretty much everything from 1928 is good money, as a general rule)
mircea_popescu: in other lulz : there's a quite active market in ~old~ benjie bills. all 1k notes go for 1-2k in normal, pocket money like grades (banknotes are graded, things with >3 folds and maybe a missing corner or such (but no tears) are VF (very fine) to EF (extremely), CU have all the corners, no folds. the grading goes up to gem, which are particularly/exceptionally good strikes, vivid and well centered.)
mircea_popescu: anyway, re the amazon thing : that's precisely how the twenny dollar bill guy (jackson) got florida from spain : "oh, you're not maintaining it properly"
mircea_popescu will be going later, but advanced reports look pretty wow.
mircea_popescu: turkey actually kicks ass, they built a new uberairport that everyone is all lovey over, and their road infrastructure defo > yurp.
mircea_popescu: lobbes, incidentally, your blog takes an ungodly amt of time to take a comment. must be some kinda bug somewheres.
mircea_popescu: as a factual matter, every warship wreck found adrift in space after the "empire" spawning it was long fucked out of the bloodline is still calling for imaginary rreinforcements at specific positions misexpressed in irrelevant systems of coordinates.
mircea_popescu: but yes, brasil is exactly what argentina could/should have been, if they weren't utterly braindamaged lazyfucks,
mircea_popescu: whereas brazil is one of the top three producers of gross tonnage, in the military-strategic sense, after china and india and ahead of russkis.
mircea_popescu: for some retarded reason usg decided to concentrate its shipmaking on pacific side
mircea_popescu: because of strategic ineptitude, brazil could actually take over the atlantic fleed from the us within a few years.
mircea_popescu: speaking of this, remember back when "bric countries" was a thing, and ustards seriously believed they're something special ?
mircea_popescu: and if you're gone for more than a few weeks... godo for you, you get to do it all over again!
mircea_popescu would not go without dozen+ men, and none of the "men's club barber shop" cock ornaments qualify
mircea_popescu: as the expression goes, "you'd be eaten by baby turtles in half hour"
mircea_popescu: (hi all from ye olde temeswar. i will be here for a few days, then thurs-ish sibiu and then brasov for the weekend.)
mircea_popescu: 0 conception in the manalone dumbmind of who the enemy is or why.
mircea_popescu: nfi why the weakass jwzs keep bending over for it, too.
mircea_popescu:
http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-08-25#1931127 << at some point the cocksuckers (true to form, see eg nonsense arguments as to "why did symbolics thinking men need mit") actually went to trouble to BUY the damn things. then brief period where "bought", with leafmoney, like esr's experience. and by now, they literally just expect to take over "by committee".
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, just about, yes. for many years i swore by debian,
mircea_popescu: this is kinda the bw-intensive use, and obv uy is no good for this
mircea_popescu: nobody handles email by hand anymore, wtf, everyone is on google. if some douche wants you to install smtp on the shared server you just frown.
mircea_popescu: ONLY thing is, gotta talk to people. and tell them "here, is a thing, USE IT!".
mircea_popescu: but this'd be a marked improvement over the stiuation where you got no user at all.
mircea_popescu: in the EXTREMELY unlikely case you actually get a user you don't want, can just rate and move on.
mircea_popescu: and isntead sit there and wank idiotically about what is little mroe than "what i read in playboy letters".
