davout: they have an aeronautic school in oxford i want to attend
diana_coman: I'd subscribe to that, yes; I don't claim I'm an expert though
diana_coman: if you are very curious you might also want to check the publisher: iirc many are in fact published in Chisinau (Moldova) and sold in Ro because cheap compared to local; iirc I saw quite a few books following this route and reflecting it, as it were
asciilifeform: brain-melting, i expected 'we loathe all things su' to definitely extend to such a thing, but go figure.
BingoBoingo: AH, I forget
asciilifeform: ( upstack, in art gallery, was 'pay extra buck, take photos', so on a lark asciilifeform to pet 'ok pay a buck' . result - in every hall different old broad hisses when sees camera, but wave the ordinary scrap of paper with 'foto' scribbled , and they disperse. i imagine locals are wise to this, bring own scrap of paper when they feel like photoing in gallery... )
asciilifeform: incidentally i was in the art gallery and lolled over the old pre-dekirrilization icons
asciilifeform: i've noprob with the ro
asciilifeform: and incidentally i notice mircea_popescu has taken to ye olde austrohungarian name for t
a111: Logged on 2017-10-24 18:13 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i very much doubt there can be two items called "museum of communist consumer" under a bar called lejer in the tiny temeswar.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-24#1728126 << possibly it was in the cellar , which looked dark and offline and i did not go to ☝︎
mircea_popescu: let it be stated i'll buy "stolen" art at any time ; possession is 100% of the law.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i very much doubt there can be two items called "museum of communist consumer" under a bar called lejer in the tiny temeswar. ☟︎
asciilifeform: but i'd take the box over usa.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-24#1728097 << oddly, this was a very different museum. but similar idea, tho i suspect it was made by seekrit communist, was full of abstract algebra textbooks, numbertheory, Kvant, catpic embroideries, nostalgic ☝︎
BingoBoingo: And today I wake up to a bunch of emails from different contacts in HK all telling me that for the necessary international connectivity... They need new peering links.
BingoBoingo: I thought davout lived on airplane?
mircea_popescu: i can see it!
mircea_popescu: he's so amusing lol, "and now... I CAN EAT ONCE MOAR!!11"
mircea_popescu: i am broadly surprised using my algos does anything!!11!!1!1!
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i used your algo!!
asciilifeform: and then ate again phood i had nfi was even possible, for less than cost of a.. eh, i’ll skip it nao, saving for blogps0t
mircea_popescu: lobbes there's some very deliberate "we in communism also have coca-cola". because there's no way i'll take them in without their crossing under the yoke, and they dun wanna cross under the yoke (chiefly because they broadly understand that there being no further substance to them, they'll dissolve into nothingness, which is obviously true and also why i won't budge).
asciilifeform: i did not tour whole ro, lol
BingoBoingo: I'm thinking u1 rackmount formed aluminum sheet with fans on face apu chasis affixed to sheet, unless alf shares his recipe.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo one doesn't help. you gotta mount eight as per alf's magics, i wouldn't bother.
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: 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: or am i misunderstanding all this ?
asciilifeform: ( i.e. ripoff against ‘poorfags’ who can’t or won’t build a dc )
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: thus far i can’t escape the suspicion that rack rental is fundamentally same type of chumpatron as box rental
mircea_popescu: pointedly it does not, "western civilisation" reduces to the habsburg lands centered on vienna, or if one is 1600s versed the paris-florence-venice axis i guess
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-23#1727981 << i guess what everyone means by "islam" these days is salafism bs, much in the manner ustardianism is what "everyone" takes "western civilisation" to mean. ☝︎
asciilifeform: last time i was only here for 3d tho
diana_coman: phf, ahh, bidet, right; tbh that made me instantly think of Italy and it would fit womenz (if south) but I kind of crossed out EU to start with
asciilifeform: i've found it tricky to drop a clue that's a troo clue but doesn't give puzzler away entirely
a111: Logged on 2017-10-23 17:00 asciilifeform: and i'ma a little surprised that no one solved riddle yet
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-23#1727901 << me too, considering who they're dealing with. but i guess they dunno how to factor the alf into all of it. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: AND throughout the egypt that i've seen, they to this day have clay pots with water in the shade every quarter mile or so on the road. notwithstanding that yes you can buy bottled water and did i share that pic of the desert dhl ? ☟︎
phf: mircea_popescu: i was thinking of those small plastic bottles they leave even when proper water system is not accessible.
phf: i suspect in turkey it would've been "they have bidet in public toilets!"
phf: but i'll guess it's either spain or croatia
phf: actually, not even that, i'm not sure where i got the bidet from :o
a111: Logged on 2017-10-23 16:54 diana_coman: to recap clues as I see them: orcistan -> poor/undeveloped country; roofless palaces -> warm(ish); abandoned trainstations -> former colony/it was once something; good food + "you'll love Odessa" -> southern style; not enough language-fu -> !USSR; asciilifeform has "things that need to be done there" -> ????? basically this last one is a killer;
phf: riddles come with clues, here we're just guessing. http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-23#1727897 << i'll add bidet in hotels to this (which are mostly missing even in european hotels) ☝︎
asciilifeform: really, nuffin wrong with it, at least not to asciilifeform's naked eye. i'd move immediately if i could.
asciilifeform: and mighty fine nearly everything, now that i think about it.
asciilifeform: and i'ma a little surprised that no one solved riddle yet ☟︎
diana_coman: if there were any cats mentioned I'd have guessed Turkey!

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-22#1727865 << lol BingoBoingo ! how would i have a thread like http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-22#1727689 if i went to that shithole ? ☝︎☝︎
Raven_Zero: Thanks for voicing me..though I just want to find out why I need to be here..by looking at your conversations..
asciilifeform: http://trilema.com/2017/untrue-story/#comment-123275 << i suspect that asciilifeform’s folx abused the word . yes it typically refers to entrances
asciilifeform: and the air, did i mention, smells great
lobbes: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-22#1727791 << this whole time I figured I just missed something in the logs ☝︎
BingoBoingo: I am interested in this layout.
BingoBoingo: <shinohai> If BingoBoingo gets cursed I'll be sad :( << Not the first time having recieved coin from MP
mod6: <+asciilifeform> imho mine was quite readable << i never had any problem.
asciilifeform: i recall
shinohai: I did not change asciilifeform 's functions at all, it was readable as is. I simply combined all the functions into a single script xD
mod6: <+asciilifeform> after release 'p', i'ma return to civilized-btctronics among other wurk << cool, right on.
asciilifeform: i find his - a harder nut
asciilifeform: i dunno why he found mine ‘convoluted’ tho
shinohai: If BingoBoingo gets cursed I'll be sad :(
a111: Logged on 2017-10-22 15:19 shinohai: I'm beginning to think people that randomly receive full integer Bitcoins from mircea_popescu get cursed.
a111: Logged on 2017-10-22 05:49 BingoBoingo: PCENGINES APU not so cheap), VPS 3x+ cost basis. Misc weird (i.e. hand courier and colo 32 bit SPARC machine) billed in proportion to time they take from providing excellent customer service and 2x cost basis for livng space.
asciilifeform: i bet it’s the syscolade absence or similar
asciilifeform: i also! have firmware builder honed for these
asciilifeform: i like that this board has public schematic.
asciilifeform: at one time i designed a pcengine-holder for a cancelled commercial proj
mircea_popescu: i am not responsible to explain why ustardianism is eccentric / not found outside of the ustard reservation.
asciilifeform: i got picz!!
asciilifeform: i aint even dressed properly
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.
asciilifeform: i luvv the $cuntry gurlz
asciilifeform: i fuckigcantstand ukrs tho
asciilifeform: wishing i could move..
mircea_popescu: but the curse of stupid is amply distributed and heavy indeed. consider : for the past THREE YEARS i have been giving ANY WOMAN IN THE WORLD hundreds of dollars. this is more than ANY "organization" ever did for the women in this world, be it something from usg.alphabet, or usg.un bureaucracy or anyone else.
shinohai: I'm beginning to think people that randomly receive full integer Bitcoins from mircea_popescu get cursed. ☟︎
asciilifeform: but nao i found a train station boarded up and with 1980s trains still on the rails...
mircea_popescu: my bad, i had it wrong for both of you.
BingoBoingo: PCENGINES APU not so cheap), VPS 3x+ cost basis. Misc weird (i.e. hand courier and colo 32 bit SPARC machine) billed in proportion to time they take from providing excellent customer service and 2x cost basis for livng space. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes 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.
hanbot: i don't know what the actual time threshold is tbh. clearly longer than 15 mins tho. ☟︎
trinque: I think I've told everyone by now that this is a by hand process. I dunno that I'd use it for that.
trinque: hm, possible it didn't get there in time then. I just dispatched it.
hanbot: dunno why i expected to have to use a different letter
hanbot: Performs the previously requested command associated with the decrypted `otp`. << nah, actually, i think that's fine.
hanbot: the !!v i mean.
trinque: yep if hanbot wanted me to send some txn tonight, better off. I might not find time to change the code this evening.
mircea_popescu: should i re-do this in the current format for now ?
mircea_popescu: i think amt first is better, so yeah.
trinque: yeah, isn't uniform is it. I can change invoice and pay to match withdraw.
ben_vulpes: no, but i could type it up
ben_vulpes: perhaps my estimates are bad but i'm also having trouble make the thing pencil out to not-a-flaming-hole-in-my-own-pocket
ben_vulpes: i'd rather get back to profiling mpfhf than marketing a cabinet
ben_vulpes: BingoBoingo: d'you want to talk to the guys i spoke to in hk?
BingoBoingo: Or I guess there's the finding a girl to marry route, but then I forfeit my dissident license.
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.
hanbot: say trinque is mp's latest pay incoming? my balance shows 0.0, and i'ma try to make a non-wot payment before you skedaddle
