asciilifeform: yea definitely Not Right Thing

asciilifeform: aaa

asciilifeform: non plaintext ?

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: gotta wonder why it picked ben_vulpes in particular

asciilifeform: ty phf

asciilifeform: * bitcoinvixen (~ofoats@ool-ad028efc.dyn.optonline.net) has joined #trilema << lol, some folx never give up

asciilifeform: !!rate spyked 2 maths; reader

asciilifeform: oh hm!

asciilifeform: !~later tell phf plox to snarf seals from http://lucian.mogosanu.ro/v/ , ty

asciilifeform: plenty of it, aha

asciilifeform: ( certain american truck rental co , but they all attach massive dongle to keyring, so as harder to lose, or so is the idea )

asciilifeform: that's a rented 'ford' 150, i recognize the cardboard on the key

asciilifeform: lol!

asciilifeform: http://thetarpit.org/archive.html << pretty great stuff. he even reviews what happens to be some of asciilifeform's favourite msdos-era gamez. ☟︎

asciilifeform: aa

asciilifeform: trinque: what did the pipe cost, then

asciilifeform: aa hm

asciilifeform: 'Factura Electrónica Costa Rica'

asciilifeform: meanwhile, in weird spams, http://wotpaste.cascadianhacker.com/pastes/R3Ba9/?raw=true

asciilifeform: d00d very definitely read his ch1-4.

asciilifeform: i'ma link to this item.

asciilifeform: hey spyked ! i like your summary of the calc ops. ☟︎

asciilifeform: iirc ro

asciilifeform: by all indications, a quiet, listeny/thinky sorta fella.

asciilifeform: he's been following ffa, doing the homeworkz

asciilifeform: !#seen spyked

asciilifeform: ^ possibly oughta be included in rss ? mircea_popescu , trinque ?

asciilifeform: in other noose, http://www.loper-os.org/?p=2051&cpage=1#comment-18804 << >> http://thetarpit.org/posts/y04/06a-ffa-ch4-puzzle.html

asciilifeform: i thought BingoBoingo had no bank, can't eat wires..?

asciilifeform: 'One full rack: 900 USD/month plus $900 one time set up fee' from BingoBoingo's article.

asciilifeform: as i understood, merely the pipe into rack. rack itself costs also.

asciilifeform: but still nowhere near 3k

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: his 700 is smaller, actually, than the last time i priced 100/100/1U in usa, was 1000+

asciilifeform: lolwat

asciilifeform: why do the orcs charge >3x moar ?

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-19#1773051 << where did i say 'bw is free' or that i compare with spam vps ? trinque posted a heathendom figure of 700 ( trinque can answer when he wakes up , for what bw, i presume 100/100 ) for comparison. ☝︎☟︎

asciilifeform: pretty odd.

asciilifeform bbl,meat

asciilifeform: all 3k/100M ?!

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: how many datacentres in uruguay ? what % have you spoken to ?

asciilifeform: tho i cannot immediately tell how it came out.

asciilifeform: or hm, possibly had already this thread, http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-17#1740045 ☝︎

asciilifeform: 'we think that saheeb has much money, let's weld on a coupla zeros'

asciilifeform: it is possible that BingoBoingo is being gouged, similar to what the accountants tried to do ?

asciilifeform: could emplace literally 10 boxes in heathendom for that bandwidth price alone. and with 100/100 (or greater) on each.

asciilifeform: come to think of it, maybe the sole connection to that cage ~is~ a sat ?!

asciilifeform: i dun recall ever seeing a price like this outside of satellite market.

asciilifeform: e.g. '100/100 Mpbs Symmetric: 3037 USD monthly'

asciilifeform: and runs faster.

asciilifeform: pretty sure e.g. inmarsat costs comparably

asciilifeform: bandwidth price looks near-orbital

asciilifeform: yea likely exactly 1 d00d, his yacht and laughter.

asciilifeform: from pov of author, it NeverHappened..

asciilifeform: not in the list : ro

asciilifeform: most preciously, in intro, 'moldavian is a language quite like other foreign languages you may have learned, such as french, spanish, italian...'

asciilifeform: but even so.

asciilifeform: well it's a language thing.

asciilifeform: if one had to go from this book.

asciilifeform: martians, apparently, dropped moldavia, fully formed.

asciilifeform: picture this.

asciilifeform: lolromania

asciilifeform: naa

asciilifeform: incidentally, i picked up a lulb00k from a bankrupt shop , 'молдавский язык' , chisinau , 1990 . even has 'history' intro. guess of what country, 0 mention.

asciilifeform: surreal. gotta wonder from where the item even came.

asciilifeform: oh hah.

asciilifeform: sad.

asciilifeform: lol if even the english threw out their, e.g., thorn , to 'be moar latin'.

asciilifeform: why not just ы like sane folx!11

asciilifeform: nuts.

asciilifeform: that the 'â turns into î when beginning or end of word' was only Officially Proclaimed in... 1990

asciilifeform: btw is it tru re the î

asciilifeform: aaha.

asciilifeform: yea holyfuq i had nfi that the 8legged 'horses' on romars also tgdyk'd !11!

asciilifeform: 'chukcha wrote a book. we open the book: pg 1: 'man got on a horse.' pg . N : 'man got off horse' pg . 2 .. N-1 : 'tgdyk, tgdyk, tdgyk...' ' ☟︎

asciilifeform: hey if dressed up a bit, sells just as well in usa -- arsebook 'games' etc

asciilifeform: but folx working with contradictory priors are doomed to oscillate. at least if they're serious.

asciilifeform: it is a thing that they end up . but nobody sets out to.

asciilifeform: i have yet to meet the man who ~wanted~ to be oscillator tho.

asciilifeform: again , the diff is in the spectra.

asciilifeform: or a defective rng. or hell knows just about every broken-but-running mechanism.

asciilifeform: or washing machine walking across a room

asciilifeform: briefly to return to http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-19#1772934 , what motl and most other similar are, is precisely this : the unwanted oscillator. ever see a street lamp that flickered, on, off, on , off ☝︎

asciilifeform: lol!

asciilifeform: lolk

asciilifeform: i dunno that we actually disagree, lol

asciilifeform: whereas when i say 'this box is oscillator' it has a rigorous meaning. it means that i can draw the spectrum, and it is peaky.

asciilifeform: aha

asciilifeform: motl is a loaded die tho. q is, loaded how. and does it have clinical implications for others.

asciilifeform: ( if i knock it down, i cannot immediately say how it will fall... )

asciilifeform: in the sense where my chair is rng.

asciilifeform: did not link motl as 'useful, no.

asciilifeform: but yes.

asciilifeform: i meant in the sense where e.g. the clock crystal on the fg, is not itself an rng. even tho it has jitter.

asciilifeform: not one that you'd want to use as an rng, at any rate.

asciilifeform: it ain't an rng if i can compress the output .

asciilifeform: if you like, rng with clearly visible spectral peak.
