BingoBoingo: Sweet, and having the two 10 Gbps ports is only
a $400 portion of the $3840 quote.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo depends on the node, but
a non-magistral item maybe 10-50 kbps.
mircea_popescu: ~340 GB = 1 Mbps sustained for
a month. ignoring the 95% thing.
BingoBoingo trying to figure what
a Bitcoin node sustains over
a month.
mircea_popescu: right. i don't recall off hand the phuctor traffic figures, but pretty sure it's not 1mbps sustained over
a month ; iirc not even
a tenth that. eulora similarily eats in the kbps sustained, and so...
BingoBoingo: But makes it clear why Netflix tries to plant
a cage full of VCRs as clost to every customer as possible.
BingoBoingo: Also makes using
a U or two on shared hosting service not such
a bad proposition.
BingoBoingo: Not at all, looking pretty good actually. Even unmetered is only $4.6/mbps which shows transit price is not outta whack, if we had
a customer planning to fully saturate connection.
BingoBoingo: Well, I am working on understanding this. Was sorta hoping to get
a X per Terabyte figure. Anyways, the billing convention on these terms seems to be outta the month busiest 36 hours are tossed and transfer is averaged.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo so they wanna eat
a 3 per mbps at the lowest setting, looks like, and otherwise willing to let you have it for 50 cents if you commit.

mircea_popescu: aha. to reiterate, must visit istanbul, at the very least
a weekend, take girl across horn to see the train station the romanians bombed, kebab etc.

a few of those popping up too.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> in other reportage from orcvalhalla: there are as many mini-casinos here as banks. << 5 years ago here in Southern Illinois there were few of these, now in most bars and
a good chunk of gas stations. Even
a few freestanding ones.

mircea_popescu: there's maybe
a dozen or so restaurants in the us, and im pretty sure they're not open to the public other than because they're 19 and "male pig" invited them
mircea_popescu: and in other lulz : after failing to produce any footage anyone can be arsed to watch for 20 years running,. hollywood is finally being abandoned to the sufragette politruk brigade. as

mircea_popescu: our conversation today has distilled
a golden bible of happy pet-taking. it goes like so : rule #1, do not presume to take decisions for the animal, it's capable for itself. rule #2, do not presume to put up
a show for the animal, its sense of smell is fine by nature.
mircea_popescu: if they don't speak it who wants them for
a pet anyway.
mircea_popescu: they can make their own decisions when it's their time to talk. take life one day at
a time, can feed and pet your new pet today.
mircea_popescu: sure as fuck beats "raising"
a dog ; and i can readily understand one not wanting to go through genital roulette at the cost of an irreplaceable decade and
a reasonably rare million.
mircea_popescu: so what's keeping you ? go up to whichever looks best and say "hey, we'd like to take you in for
a pet."
shinohai: Bwahaha those "
A girl online " comments in that article are so lulzy
mircea_popescu: mark twain has
a bit about how every whore in the west hit up john smith for alms whenever.
mircea_popescu: rather, they were cursed with stupid to begin with, and had so far lived in
a sort of environment where it had been carefully made inpossible to prove it.
BingoBoingo: Anyways, my impression of the business is that its like farming, except customer service is
a thing.

BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> they cost you about 50k to buy, and the rack will run you about 50k for
a year. that means your yearly budget is about 100k, roughly. << This is roughly my impression. 50k colorent, 40-70k-ish hardware, 35-ish k physical presence so as to walk to servers, 2k birthing company, 5k retainers, 100k prudent reserve (In case of Best Korea, Intifada, meteor storm, Pelosi). Rent boxes out for ~2x cost basis (all in, not board so

a) you're not going to make money renting space as such. this wasn't even in the original design, i've nfi why you added it in.
trinque: at any rate there'll before too long be

a BingoISP

BingoBoingo: Or I guess there's the finding
a girl to marry route, but then I forfeit my dissident license.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo from experience nobody gives
a flying fuck about visas in this part of the world.
BingoBoingo: In readings so far, Brazialian "entrepreneur's visa" once business making process is started takes 150,000 Reals deposited (i.e. first year's rack rent) in bank with plan filed to hire two employees or 600,000 Reals deposited to waive hiring plan requirement. Actual incorporation far less. Hong Kong still has
a week to make
a final push.
mircea_popescu: , notwithstanding he had proofs (but did he have proof those proofs were proofing ?!?!). in the end, after
a lot of back and forth between various government agencies, they paid him 300k, "acquired" it (legally, of course, what usg steals is legally acquired, what slovak antique dealer owns is "mafia involvement") and then proceeded to sell it at auction. for ... 15.3mn.
mircea_popescu: and here's some lulz for asciilifeform's private "art ownerhsip" collection : femme nue couchee,
a courbet knockoff of the maja desnuda goya painting was looted in 45 by the soviets, who displayed it in the manner of truckers, which is to say on
a truck tarpaulin. the item was thought lost, but it surfaced in 2000. the owner (possession is 100% of the law!) was accused of being unfit for ownership, as he happened to be slovak
