mircea_popescu: i usually get 5-10-15% here.
mircea_popescu: back when i had (company) cards a decade ago, i used them to cover >1k bills at large wholesalers, not $300 at the restaurant. and EVEN SO it was iffy.
mircea_popescu: i was like "aren't you ashamed of yourself" and he pretended like he doesn't know i'm talking to him. EXACTLY like clinton & friends.
mircea_popescu: i was standing in a shop to buy a ream of socks and shit, and this dork before me, ENTIRELY in the european academic geddup, including the ugly colors, the jersey, the bag over shoulder etc paid for ONE PAIR worth ~3 bux with a credit card.
mircea_popescu: i dun think most people realise how close curetage is to a really bad shave that's 2 layers too close.
BingoBoingo: I am at this point very unsure if the Uruguayans view politics as anything other than an operations discussion on how to extract value from stupid Argentine spending.
BingoBoingo: I have yet to meet an Uruguayan who introduced Trump to any conversation.
BingoBoingo: Most except the destitute I have met so far at least put on airs of "middle class" or "aspiring elite"
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> BingoBoingo not so smart ; outside of us nobody ever uses anything other than 100s << I have yet to see another confirmed gringo here, but the idea with 20's is more of them and single one is an amount suitable for what alf would call "human" transactions.
mircea_popescu: but for the sake of historical record, the very traditional central european "you may not say no to a man ; and ESPECIALLY not sexually" lands, ie from south carolina south and west as far as maybe eastern arizona, provide slut protection, in that "and if you end up alone with three kids before you're 30 i won't hold that against you".
trinque: I guess yeah, texan thing. dad would get drunk all day, try to murder the kids on a tether behind boat.
trinque: asciilifeform: what? I spent big chunks of youth idle time with my dad trying to kill me behind a boat.
asciilifeform: i distinctly recalled mircea_popescu wrote this, and went through some bother to obtain Troo Benjies
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> btw i keep resisting but now gotta ask, how big exactly is a 'gangstaroll' ? when i went to ro i was able to pack a coupla kilobux , is all that will comfortably fold in normal human wallet << I packed $20 bills for convenience
mircea_popescu: back before 2001/1990s/bush/etc happened, the remnants of "male culture" were actually headed towards a boaty paradise, i suspect.
asciilifeform: not since i saw http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-07#1748279 ☝︎
mircea_popescu: i don't expect the hyphenating kind would put the husband first.
asciilifeform: i also thought!
mircea_popescu: at first i thought made up name
mircea_popescu: well, "last set". i'm not talking collector cunt here.
asciilifeform: i think they already have a 10k. but without stripper.
asciilifeform: i'll subscribe.
asciilifeform: i just have nfi what drug would have to take to want to pay kilobux for americana
asciilifeform: hey i dun have any ideological problem with 'kilobuck restaurant', i spend similar sum on e.g. hdds regularly
asciilifeform: few hundy i saw. grand -- not yet, these are probably the ones where you gotta know somebody, knock on the unmarked door five times etc
mircea_popescu: i get it, you don't powerlunch there every day. but if you run into a gal that takes your breath away... wouldn't it be the proper time ?
mircea_popescu: what happens if you run into http://trilema.com/2014/the-romanian-language-for-other-people/ "hey babe wait right here i gotta spend an hour queuing at the bank" ?
asciilifeform: 'why would i carry money, i just put it in glove box in the tank'
asciilifeform: i almost expected mircea_popescu to say 'what airport, i have own diplomatic pouch system'
mircea_popescu: hey. they did want to count mine when i landed. i... didn't cooperate (but i did let them watch while i did, so there was that)

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-07#1748296 << i initially misread as 'had to break friendly gringo's face' ☝︎
asciilifeform: btw i keep resisting but now gotta ask, how big exactly is a 'gangstaroll' ? when i went to ro i was able to pack a coupla kilobux , is all that will comfortably fold in normal human wallet
mircea_popescu: i dunno how to break this to you, but "money" is here defined as > 1 gangster rolls.
asciilifeform: dunno, i saw 'sofas' there that hadn't 'gone to the oven' yet
mircea_popescu: i don't think i ever met an argentine who had any money. at all. ever.
asciilifeform: and i'ma guess was su surplus
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i dunno, hipster chicks these days
asciilifeform: the only other one i can immediately think of is flynn. but that's recent.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-07#1748319 << i dunno what exactly a gox with an empty btc tank looks like, but i suspect it looks not unlike today's shitfinex ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2017-12-07 22:15 mircea_popescu: and in further "i can't believe that shit still exists" lulz, coupled with "here comes the self-eating shit sandwich", http://perezhilton.com/2017-12-07-melanie-martinez-rape-accusation-fan-merch
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-07#1748321 << i take it they dun have hills where mircea_popescu lives ☝︎

BingoBoingo: I figure I have to use the advantage while it lasts.
BingoBoingo: Anyways, right now I am being the friendliest gringo TMSR could retain as an ambassor. Leaning heavily on dumb gringo stereotype while calibrating listen and write heads to the local Castellano and screening potential contacts
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Well, not since I sobered up
a111: Logged on 2017-12-07 18:18 asciilifeform: if i had to decide whether to find a picasso, or to be side swiped by a garbage truck, it would not be easy choice
BingoBoingo: I really have to work on my camera speed, a trash donkey was spotted twice.
BingoBoingo: Ah, I am pretty sure my 7 roommates at the hostel are argentine. I have talked to none of them yet because they are either sleeping or absent.
BingoBoingo: As far as I can tell so far Uruguay lacks politics as understood by a middle western rube. Instead it has operations discusions concerning things like cleaning la playas.
hanbot: I don't recall ever seeing cleaning crews near the river. or anywhere other than the esquinas of convenience stores. anyway, if they're anything like their southern neighbors ~everyone you meet will warn you about pickpockets/bag snatchers, to the degree someone who doesn't offer such warnings is by that sign a potential friend ;) ☟︎
BingoBoingo: hanbot: I hear they clean less in the off season. Today while exploring spotted many crews engaged in cleaning.
asciilifeform: i dun much go in for cardboard castles, BingoBoingo
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: when i say 'sad', i suppose oughta elaborate, 'sad' ~= 'dun look like habsburgs would live here'
asciilifeform: ate: i recommend to read the logs also. http://btcbase.org/log and see subj line of this chan.
ate: asciilifeform Please excuse this noob, but I've been reading through your website over the past week or two. Creating a sane computing environment has been an interest of mine for a while, and most of my effots have been following the work of Alan Kay. Eventually, as I believe you have, I learned about the beautiful Lisp Machines, and am very interested in working to create modern versions.
asciilifeform: the prognosis is, as i understand, similar.
asciilifeform: if i had to decide whether to find a picasso, or to be side swiped by a garbage truck, it would not be easy choice ☟︎
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: nobody counted my sub-10k when i left.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i can't speak for others, but picasso dun fit in my arse
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> "that aside, experimentally BingoBoingo produced a gangster roll out of a btc. i don't expect anything changed other than same item now costs .5" << you get THE ITEM THAT IS. for ever less btc. << And there's the pain of the experiment
mircea_popescu: diana_coman i don't mean re this, necessarily. mpi as an import is one thing
diana_coman: asciilifeform, aha; well, sane-by-comparison to the clusterfuck that is whole GnuPG (I DID go through THAT too initially)
asciilifeform: i do regret having used name 'sane-mpi', there is very little sane about it except strictly in contrast with the original material
diana_coman: more like forcing one to see them I guess
asciilifeform: diana_coman: ty ! i'ma link to yours.

asciilifeform: i'd volunteer to make this surgery but doesn't mg have programming folx on retainer..
asciilifeform: she can. i simply just nao thought of it, lol.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu, diana_coman if every single patch you release is a genesis ( i.e. previously existing items are lifted with paste ) then you may as well simply publish signed tarballs, you are not actually using v
mircea_popescu: why the fuck exactly can't i move project/a to master/project/a through a patch ?
trinque: mircea_popescu: I'll peek at logs real quick, then let ya know. it hasn't reconnected since the netsplit
mircea_popescu: trinque do i unban it ?
trinque: with the giant netsplit earlier, I'm skeptical it's the host.
asciilifeform: i'ma make a small cartoon example, brb
diana_coman: asciilifeform, can you work me through the steps to "subsume it into your own"? I don't yet see clearly what that is
asciilifeform: ( what was asciilifeform going to do with mpi ? there was plan, for 1 further cut, of the logger and the allocator. but i put it in cold storage when began work on ffa . )
asciilifeform: ftr i have no intention of amending mpi myself . if at some time i discover a new kochism therein, i will vdiff against diana_coman's mpi-containing entity
asciilifeform: i'll add only that imho it matters just how strongly-coupled your outer proggy is with the library
asciilifeform: asciilifeform prefers the latter. but this is a fundamental sort of decision, i'd ask mircea_popescu , it's his proggy
asciilifeform: the other is to preserve the two lineages as separate, but to link your item against e.g. mpi.a , and to insert the latter's hash into your vtree, to proclaim the linkage -- as i did with the binariola schematic jpegs in FG genesis.
diana_coman: hm, I thought I need a/mpi b/mpi ; can I have ..what, a/mpi and b/eucrypt/mpi?
diana_coman: asciilifeform, I can compile it certainly wherever it is; but can I press with V eucrypt with eucrypt/mpi and eucrypt/serpent let's say?
mircea_popescu: so how do i patch mpi to become eucrypt/mpi ?
asciilifeform: you are using gcc for a linker, neh. it takes arbitrary paths ( observe how i did it in ffa ch.1, it was deliberately illustrative )
diana_coman: is there some documented process re how to create with V basically a new project that will contain as *internal* components derivations of existing projects? for example: eucrypt will have inside an mpi component; as seen earlier, I can patch mpi directly, but then how do I include the result in a higher structure? can I even do it while preserving the links? (I guess it would mean that resulting project has effectively 2 roots: one the ge
mircea_popescu: "that aside, experimentally BingoBoingo produced a gangster roll out of a btc. i don't expect anything changed other than same item now costs .5" << you get THE ITEM THAT IS. for ever less btc.
mircea_popescu: i don't expect anything changed other than same item now costs .5
asciilifeform: i suppose expert veterinarian might be able to distinguish 'bleats because indigestion' from 'bleats because inside is half-eaten-up by worms'. but asciilifeform cannot.
asciilifeform: i'ma ask a different q : what is the ordering function for these statements ? do 4 zeroes worth of 'we are worthless' actually represent a lower bow than 3 ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i dun think i follow. come again ?
mircea_popescu: why ? some girls had the sense to peg it, some girls are still waiting. it's the perfect nonperson humiliator, this. "if i hold out my tits will be worth more" "ahahahaha, really ?"
mircea_popescu: "i am not worth a whole bitcoin".
mircea_popescu: "i think 2 bitcents should buy more than just my daughter. like 50x more."
asciilifeform: i.e. a work of dope-addled fiction ?
a111: Logged on 2017-11-29 07:17 mircea_popescu: i just hope 100k doesn't happen before new year's.
