shinohai: I was just about
to respond
to
the pic mircea_popescu posted. Such sanctimonious horseshit makes me sick.
ascii_field: not, afaik, affiliated with
the musl folks in any direct sense
shinohai: I guess I was unwittingly a poet
today.
assbot: Logged on 29-07-2015 15:55:28; phf: i remember, musl is pretty cool, it's part of
the whole suckless movement
jurov: ithings just came down into adding
terminal emulator
to eulora and i'm weighing down
the options
ascii_field: (at one point i owned an actual 'glass
tty' ibm
terminal, but parents
threw it out)
ascii_field: i literally can't recall any other
than
these 3.
ascii_field: the only other one i've used in
the past decade was 'minicom'
jurov: everything i can find is married
to gtk
jurov: ascii_field: do you have a
terminal emulator stashed anywhere?
mircea_popescu: check it out ascii_field, everything's rosy over at nigger house!
they're so happy with
the way shit's going
they're gonna buy everyone a round!
mircea_popescu: Last week, Retired General Wesley Clark, who was NATO commander during
the US bombing of Serbia, proposed
that “disloyal Americans” be sent
to internment camps for
the “duration of
the conflict.”
mircea_popescu: lol wait, gmaxwell and mike hearn bitching at each other on reddit as
to who should go do an altcoin ?
mircea_popescu: anyway.
there's no shortage of work
to be had here. and i mean serious work.
mircea_popescu: govt is essentially running a 60% arbitrage on
the last remaining productive leg of
the place, which is fucking soy farming.
mircea_popescu: dollar
trades 13.8-14.2 atm, "officially" at 8.whatever, in
the sense
that if you're a farmer and you sell soy, you're going
to be paid for
the dollars you bring in at
that rate.
mircea_popescu: phf
the idea is
to basically work as an exchange, yes.
phf: mircea_popescu: so
the idea is
to basically work as exchange, but with black market rate premium, whatever it is 30-40%, and a wider buy vs sell spread?
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: cow is stupid. still learns
to avoid
the barbed wire
mircea_popescu: ascii_field i don't
think you understand what
the word "stupid" means.
thestringpuller: <mircea_popescu> yo, can i use your
thing
to send misses_c a box o biscuits now ? << we do cookies...
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: cools
the ardour of
the enemy, cheaply
ascii_field: incidentally, i've wondered when u.s. folks
travelling with cash usd will learn about
thermite as countermeasure
to 'confiscator'
mircea_popescu: anyway. bring some friends,
the hos you can't do without, some money and i guess handguns if you don't care for
the chinese half-and-half crap.
ascii_field: probably safer
to have
this bad outside, vs inside of usa!
mircea_popescu: "if you give
that nimrod fifteen hundred dollars i'll shoot him on general principle."
punkman: if
they catch you with half-a-mil do
they just confiscate?
ascii_field: if
the $mil fits in your pocket, you probably won't have
to shoot anyone
punkman: are
there euros in .ar black market?
mircea_popescu: some people bring half mil
to a mil, but
then you run
the risk of having
to maybe shoot
the dummies.
punkman: around 10k euros around europe
too
ascii_field: 10k is
the
traditional legal limit usa-side
mircea_popescu: and ~currency~ means something specific.
the ~current~ medium of exchange.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field
the less control over
the currency
the soi-dissant state enjoys,
the closer it gets
to its pissant destiny.
ascii_field: i mean, when i visited i
traded mircea_popescu a bit of usd for coin. how did he use
them
to put a small hole in 'peronism' ?
mircea_popescu: you wait for a coupla years,
then buy
the pick of
the crop of
the current 12 yo women and sell
them
to brunei.
williamdunne: What is
the primary method of getting Argentinian
toilet paper back into dollars?
mircea_popescu: whole shebang's got maaaaaybe a coupla years left of "podremos vivir mejor" and "victoria es
tener un
trabajo y non necesitar un secundo" left in it.
mircea_popescu: phf buy and sell from locals, organise couriers
to keep bringing bills in
to help me bring down
the fucktarded slow motion socialism
they call "peroniosm" here
phf: hypothetically speaking how does a black market dollar
trading works? bring cash past border control, sell
to locals at margin?
mircea_popescu: that's what
the local derps are daydreaming
too, "services" and "platforms" and
their mother's wide cunts.
mircea_popescu: forget "service" dood. stop
trying
to abstract your ass from
the fucking,
that's not how it works.
williamdunne: I lack capital, but conceptualized a service
that could handle such
things
mircea_popescu: the locals are broadly speaking
too retarded
to qualify as frogs.
mircea_popescu: come
to argentina start a black market dollar
trading empire.
williamdunne: mircea_popescu: Programming preferred, but anything
that pays and I'm capable of, which I'd like
to imagine is a fairly wide range of
things
trinque: a) hilarious, good luck kid, and b) great excuse for russia
to do whatever
the hell it wants next
decimation: ^ apparently in some places 'rule of law' kinda applies
to cops
trinque: still waiting on
that soma
phf: huxley is
the one who predicted
that you would carry such a device and you would love it
trinque: I don't know
that even Mr. Huxley would've ever dreamt you'd carry
the
thing around with you.
shinohai: Easiest way
to spy on your citizens is
to put a device in every household
they can't resist.
ascii_field: trinque: as i understand,
the story isn't about '90s-style bans, but smoke
to distract from
the fact
the 'smartPnohe' etc. is
thoroughly pwned and usg-controlled on every level, 'crypted' or not
trinque: dunno
that
there's a better measure of american hubris
than
that.
trinque: this notion
that it's even possible
to ban a mathematical formula is insane.
☟︎ williamdunne: For
the right job with additional incentives aside from salary I'd work sub-minimum
williamdunne: ascii_field: Programming (C#, Java, can learn other
things), banking relationships, web development. Really anything
that can get me a few bob each month
Azelphur: Please note
that I am a programmer and did not write any of
the content
trinque: could just deedbot your resume and announce here,
though
trinque: in-wot jobs board isn't
that bad an idea, really
ascii_field: trinque:

gabriel_laddel: 04:49:25 mircea_popescu:
