Mocky: but i think it's because my AC has been our for 6 hrs, cuz totally
Mocky: my tonsils have felt swolen for past 4 hours but im not saying it out loud so it wont be real
BingoBoingo: I get a tonsilitis, billymg gets a cold... Under the two times coincidence rule if one more person gets sick this week, gotta call it biowarfare
billymg: just need to extract into /usr/local/portage to use
billymg: which allows for emerging without upgrading portage to the gpg2 requiring version
billymg: i also added the libmcrypt ebuild here http://161.0.121.194/downloads/libmcrypt.ebuild.tar.gz
billymg: trinque: update on progress: after several nights of heavy drinking i managed to also catch a cold. working on mp-wp setup this afternoon (at reduced capacity) and was able to press and get it to http://161.0.121.194
asciilifeform: whatever happend to http://summaries.logs.esthlos.com btw ☟︎
BingoBoingo: OMG reading summarizing back in time
deedbot: http://bimbo.club/?p=59 << Bimbo.Club - TMSR Log Summary - 08/25/2018
a111: Logged on 2018-10-08 14:10 asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-08#1859362 << 16 (plain, no bolds) x 80 == 1280 min. horiz. pixels needed for this.
asciilifeform: i'd buy a troo b&w crystal in a heartbeat, but nobody afaik ever made'em in usable ( http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-08#1859393 ) or near, res, or in such a way that'd electrically fit any available box ☝︎
BingoBoingo: I tried doing some digging and also found a still smaller 7" version
BingoBoingo might have to do some reading/lamenting there isn't an 11.6" version
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: best as i can tell, nuffin but samsung n30, n150, lenovo s10-2 (but not s10-3, i opened one and no dice, cabling too short) will eat the thing.
BingoBoingo: Dell made a 10" Latitude 'business netbook' which appears to be common in the online listings here (Marketing point was it is the robust netbook). I wonder if it will eat the Qi.
asciilifeform: it's moar or less ideal box for expeditions into deep orcistan. but to work on it all day would be pretty painful.
asciilifeform: the 'qi' crystal has '90s-style viewing angle, too. coupla degrees left or right and it's ~half visible. i suppose for some applications this, too, is win
asciilifeform: at least i can only with difficulty picture anybody wanting to steal it..
BingoBoingo: Except now it has a sweet screen and the ones in the market have mega sad screens
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo : it's pretty much exactly like those things sold in the sunday market in BingoBoingostan
a111: Logged on 2018-10-18 20:16 asciilifeform: this will be a cuntoo box, when i get around to redisking it
asciilifeform: in moar minor noose, http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-18#1863610 is a++ display but pretty sad box, i forgot just how rubbishy these were, cramped kbd with coarse molded plastic feels like sumthing straight from toy store, touch pad thing is the size of 2 postage stamps, arm rest creaks... ☝︎
mircea_popescu: on top of it being the exact situation in the field, it's also something easy enough to digest for orc mind.
mircea_popescu: so communicate that, how hard can it be. "oh, cisco, so last century. white man has made even more cornell-ian cornell nao."
mircea_popescu: in any case -- our objerction to the microshit/cisco/cornell pile is that they're NOT NEARLY WHITE ENOUGH, for our tastes.
mircea_popescu: jesus. don't do that.
Mocky: it's hard to understand people here, randomly selected thick accent each time. it's a relief to run into brit or irish
Mocky: "they have respect so much" damn, only 10 days and I'm already doing english like the indians/philipinos/nigerians/ethiopians/tanzanians/wakandans etc.
a111: Logged on 2018-10-19 17:19 mircea_popescu: Mocky what's the half you don't know ?
Mocky: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-19#1864270 >> I don't have everything sorted in my mind. I don't know yet what they need or perceive that they need. or how to position myself with respect to the microsoft/cisco/cornell they have respect so much. ☝︎
BingoBoingo: They do that here too "Gringo colonizers" "Capitalist pigs"
Mocky: white man is on a pedestal here. americans the most
Mocky: it's weird because they way they look up to americans and western companies / universities, while also infidel
BingoBoingo: <Mocky> that's about how i feel honestly when walking up to people and talking to them about this stuff << "I am refugee from the US here to Make Great, Great Again"
mircea_popescu: lol dun take it so hard. i dunno you're doing anything wrong, what.
Mocky: hey, maybe if i actually was suave then could come up with how to explain the future to orcs, but i'll get more chances to try tomorrow in any case
a111: Logged on 2018-10-19 17:05 mircea_popescu: Mocky another angle : find someone to sell btc to.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-19#1864252 << i guess i misspoke. what i meant was, "find someone who really really was desperately trying to buy btc but never could before, because insulated in the qtar shitland" ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2018-10-19 17:09 Mocky: I can find local males, there are tons walking around malls in bright white robes with their families.
diana_coman: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-19#1864258 - now I wonder what arab ghosts have left to wear ☝︎
mircea_popescu: you literally came from the future, all those boyiush fantasies of "what if i landed in medieval blabla" are ~this.
Mocky: that's about how i feel honestly when walking up to people and talking to them about this stuff
mircea_popescu: Mocky what's the half you don't know ? ☟︎
mircea_popescu: it's weird, yers. but in the circumstances as i understand them, weird is 500x times better than trite, "hello sir, i r guampatambatam from my country india"
a111: Logged on 2018-10-03 03:41 asciilifeform: ( pretty hard, imho, to even begin in language heathens might understand.. )
mircea_popescu: and don't be ashamed/shy away from saying things like "i'm a representative of the most serene republic of bitcoin, we're looking to build etc".
Mocky: I talk to people about what I'm doing here and I'm not really all that good at talking to people and I only half know wtf i'm doing here. i mean in a way that I can explain to randos and have it make sense
Mocky: i'm meeting 25 more people tomorrow at some meetup thing at a mall with gondola rides thru an interior canal
BingoBoingo: Mocky: One encouraging thing you have in Qatar that you don't in Uruguay is evidence these people have money somewhere, hence buying S-400's from Russia
Mocky: keeping an eye on their females
Mocky: I can find local males, there are tons walking around malls in bright white robes with their families. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: and all the sons.
mircea_popescu: talk about it to the dude and to all older local males you can find.
Mocky: one dude with one transaction
mircea_popescu: Mocky another angle : find someone to sell btc to. ☟︎
Mocky: but the sun sets early without daylight savings time, and it cools quickly without the sun, so can walk outside after about 4:45
Mocky: here, civilized person can't walk more than 3 blocks outside during midday. would be drenched in sweat. likewise can't stand for 15 minutes waiting for bus. it's get into a car with AC or smell like the riff raff
asciilifeform: Mocky: herr baron himself aint 'limo driver' tho. even in nyc most medallion owners do not themselves drive cab.
asciilifeform: Mocky: afaik pilots already live with ~exactly this system
BingoBoingo: But when living 3-5 generations to a household...
BingoBoingo: I am sure there would be a lot less cars in Uruguay if motherfuckers weren't spending all day doing the Uber to pay for their cars
Mocky: i'm sure the qataris in lambos would love that angle
asciilifeform: usa is a peculiar horror, with little-to-no reliable public transport in most places; but pretty much errywhere else, could easily do as above
asciilifeform: re drivers -- why not, e.g., combine license and taxi medallion. wanna drive ? register as driver, buy medallion, dun have to carry passengers or paint livery on 'cab' if you dun feel like, but pony up.
mircea_popescu: in retrospect is the #1 thing i like about him.
a111: Logged on 2018-10-19 13:48 asciilifeform: well not just any idlers, but folx not fitting into the structure. bums, pickpockets, the typical bipedal ferals of 'civilization'
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-19#1864040 << your favourite shoemaker used to have the police regularly beat these, and then detain them in workcamps. ☝︎
Mocky: traffic is only bad here during rush hour, and even then not as bad as rush hour in us cities. so long as you avoid the "10 minute lights"
mircea_popescu: this "cars for all comers" toyota program of doom gotta cease.
asciilifeform: picture, roads where transport actually moves...
asciilifeform: iirc even in some sad old europistans they had this
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform also a good idea. the girls know how many times i went "car license - 100k!"
mircea_popescu: maybe the idea is that since people will focus on the list, they'd rather them focus on the negative list and try to get out than focus on the positive and try to break the system.
asciilifeform: iirc in asia they have ~same thing, but encoded differently, they simply charge 100k $ for 'car tax'
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform "cause fuck you, that's why" ?
asciilifeform: why the massive list of 'milkman', 'muazin', etc
mircea_popescu: people's problems -- in their heads. it's the 3rd millenium after a ll.
Mocky: fwiw, i quite like it. all comers don't need to look in my windows and knock on my door
asciilifeform: Mocky, mircea_popescu : the 'professions not given driver license' thing dun make much sense imho; why not much shorter list of who ~is~ given, 'titled baron', 'ceo of co listed on exchange', 'fuhrer', etc
mircea_popescu: which reminds me of a bon mot i put out 20 years ago. "rich dude" of the warren buffett/alexander abramov was building house. very large, somerwaht brutalistic, remarkably small windows. "why are the windows so small ?!" "he's trying to re-create his prison experience".
a111: Logged on 2018-10-19 13:25 asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-19#1863957 << were you able to discover against whom these were built? generally folx dun build castles when no enemy..
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-19#1864022 << yes, they do. enemy -- in own head. postmodern times. ☝︎
Mocky: i get it now why ubers swarm like piranha, most need a taxi to get around
mircea_popescu: if only qatar took over south tyrol, we'd have something.
Mocky: ikr? that list is the old one too. the newer once is twice as long, includes "computer programmer"
mircea_popescu: "Financial Services Worker" ; "Barber Beautician" yup it's 100% directed at them too
Mocky: even in the grocery, a dozen security guards on duty at once. some walking some guarding
mircea_popescu: if cr implemenrted this same thing, "no driving license for office drone / cal lcenter chickie / whatever pipedream "professional" class" they'd have 0 problems left to fix.
a111: Logged on 2018-10-19 09:49 Mocky: next to bottom class is cheap workers who aren't permitted to get a drivers license: http://archive.is/Cg7uU
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-19#1864004 << o fuck me, this is a SPLENDID idea ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2018-10-19 09:38 diana_coman: failing that, I guess 20 somethings partying at least have a local father, for whatever good that might be
Mocky: that reminds me how overstaffed everything is here. jewelry store in side a hypermarket, 7 dudes behind the counter. not enough room to all stretch arms out. 3 guards. zero customers. in the mall no matter where you go, will be in sight of 2 security guards
a111: Logged on 2018-10-19 09:37 diana_coman: the point being to my mind to perhaps meet *there* some people worth meeting, not as much joining the track per se
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-19#1863989 << no, because if they're there they're definitionally not worth meeting. exactly how you wouldn't try and hire for s.mg from the ro army ged class. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: i have a feeling all these discussions will be referenced lots and lots in future, i'd rather not have anything trashed later "for lack of evidence".
a111: Logged on 2018-10-19 09:37 Mocky: the events are: make your slide deck, public speaking workshops, have an app...
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-19#1863988 << fucking endearing. might as well document all of this for future lulz Mocky ☝︎
mircea_popescu: anyway, turns out qatar suffers from inverse problem of white world -- OVERmanaged.
mircea_popescu: not AT ALL how sv works lol. this is MIT emulator, 30 years later and made out of shit&hay.
