mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-31#1730888 << kid be liek, "i see through your shenanigans, sir." ☝︎
asciilifeform: can use standard aquarium or needs custom job, i wonder.
mircea_popescu: i can't discern if 16yos will grow up into dumb or not half the time. HALF THE TIME!
asciilifeform: then surprising that i saw only 1 such.
asciilifeform: scene from shop in ro : asciilifeform's pet fondling some kitchen apparatus. asciilifeform answers 'i do not have rocket to put this on'
mircea_popescu: i've never experienced same-day delivery across jurisdictions.
asciilifeform: for 30-40 i can split it into suitcases and give 10 people phree vacation so they carry'em, lol.
asciilifeform: that's approx what it was when i moved 1st time
asciilifeform: ( in practice, neither will, once i find/make a scan of the ru )
asciilifeform: ( chukcha is offered a goodb00k. replies 'but thank you, old friend, i already own a book!'
mircea_popescu: all i can think of is seinfeld not understanding what books are. "they're books. once you've read them, you've read them. what do you need them for."
asciilifeform: laugh if you like but nowadays i even look at my ru knuth moar often than at original
mircea_popescu: last anglo books worth reading were penned cca 70s i suspect. i can't recall finding one useful past feynman, knuth etc.
asciilifeform: nao i only look at the ru b00kz
asciilifeform: i made mistake of buying a b00k on ro for englischers one time
asciilifeform: but yes you can do ru-style , e.g. Нйю-Йорк - i.e. njoo-jork
asciilifeform: btw asciilifeform accomplished what asciilifeform's pet could yet not , in ro : managed to have simple 'how much' 'i'll buy 2' convos without counterparty switching to damaged english
mircea_popescu: "oh, i must have a different "for" loop depending if it's long or short"
asciilifeform: i did ! in the arts museum
asciilifeform: i can tell that mircea_popescu doesn't pl much, if he thinks 'sounds latin'
a111: Logged on 2017-10-31 13:22 cazalla: same, i wonder if my keen eagerness to learn polski is my sense of disgust of angloness
mircea_popescu: i'm thankful i get to keep mah status o.O
a111: Logged on 2017-10-31 13:19 asciilifeform: i suspect scamola, or whole fucking planet could get in eu
a111: Logged on 2017-10-31 13:05 shinohai: There are no decent women in my location. I feel I have nothing to talk about with them - their idea of literature is the "Sweet Valley High" series or Stephanie Meyer shit.
asciilifeform: (i.e. they dun wait-and-abort, they actually ~guarantee male)
a111: Logged on 2017-10-31 12:53 shinohai: Lulzy I believe I have said numerous times this was coming: http://archive.is/hhmZL
a111: Logged on 2017-10-31 12:51 cazalla: i always thought we german, well, paternal side, but all bullshit, actually polski
mircea_popescu: i'm sorry, i meant that could not ~not~ be so.
asciilifeform: i know this. was speaking of ordinary de.
asciilifeform: i recall this. but has come to mean also 'dumb whore' iirc from trilema
asciilifeform: do i need to buy a thicker dictionary or wut
asciilifeform: i keep encountering these in trilema
diana_coman: I keep reading that as necromancer, lol
asciilifeform: what i pay in rent in shitland right now, in 1 yr, would buy a modest house in timis. 2y would buy the house mircea_popescu described ( per his rated figure ). 3 would buy one of those dilapidated palaces.
asciilifeform: point being, i want to convert a pile of soon to be worthless paper, into actual ownership of something ( even as basic as machine to keep the rain out. )
diana_coman: "massive reworks" meant in my head dig foundations and from there up; not that it can't be done with own hands, I know
asciilifeform: lol builders. i am my own builder.
diana_coman: asciilifeform> and you generally can't make massive reworks <- this yes, though I'd be surprised you wouldn't be able to agree with landlord; more like you'll go nuts trying to get what you want from builders, but that's a different story ☟︎
diana_coman: anyways, why not rent? don't know about Timis precisely, but I'd be surprised if it were terribly expensive or anything
asciilifeform: i'ma have to research, but i'd bet money that it is true. otherwise americans would have snapped up all of the country, and there would not exist such a thing as a 50k-usd house in timis. ☟︎
diana_coman: i.e. you can own it but via company; or you can own flat/not land
diana_coman: I guess it might be more of a trouble if there still is that thing with "can't own land" if foreigner, dunno if even still true
diana_coman: again, maybe things have changed in the last years, I haven't really looked at it
diana_coman: go with a lawyer, I'd say
asciilifeform: i did not at all get sense of 'ro is dangerous'
diana_coman: asciilifeform, what can I say, people do it; guess romania is not as dangerous as it seems or something
diana_coman: things might have changed but ~6 years ago when I tried (got fed up with the seller being an idiot but that's another story) they were positively NOT wanting a bank anyways; it was some 26k flat ftr
asciilifeform: when i was doing the passport question homework, saw requirement 'prove that you have where to live' and 'prove you have income' . the former requires a title or lease in own human name; the latter - bank acct.
asciilifeform: there's maybe 3 people who i trust to be physically present in a room where i bring a btc privkey. and none of them live in ro. ☟︎
diana_coman: it's not unusual in ro as far as I know
asciilifeform: it's a pederasty that lasts for so long as i have only usa passport.
asciilifeform: if i open in own name, it gets usg-taxed.
asciilifeform: diana_coman: i can move right now, what i can't do there is have bank acct
diana_coman: asciilifeform, well, the way I see it it anyway makes more sense to simply move where you want to be
mod6: with comba, for instance, as with others (ex. karatsuba): i tend to go and read the papers on it, then review the code and see how ffa is doing it. etc.
asciilifeform: i'm back at my console & can answer in more or less realtime so dun hesitate to ask, mod6 .
mod6: nothing has popped up yet that I haven't been able to make sense of.
mod6: i have a bunch of trb work queued up too -- need to put some effort into that next few weeks.
mod6: i've written like 22 unit tests around various functions/procs
diana_coman: anyone knows a leemon baird and his hashgraph thing? it seems to be based on gossip so perhaps something interesting in there although I have to say that a first read was more like reading propaganda
diana_coman: I'm sure it's not even the only citizenship for sale for that matter ☟︎
