deedbot: mircea_popescu rated cnomad 1 at 2018/06/12 21:46:46 << dood either ran off with my boards or else produced an image of some sort ; we don't know the future yet
mircea_popescu: and for good reason, if one's to weigh the input of rando noobies for the past whatever arbitrary interval, weeks, months, whatever patience may endure, he'll find OODLETONS of self-important douchebaggery, perhaps most eminently exemplified by the http://btcbase.org/log/2018-06-12#1824361 scammer ; and ~zilch actual contributing to go with it. ☝︎
asciilifeform goes back to macheteing away the fucking green hell that's engulfed his hovel
mircea_popescu stresses in any case that while precipitated by events, it's nevertheless where this was headed anyway.
mircea_popescu: there's also #eulora an' #pizarro and iirc mod6 had one and a whole bunch. time to put them to work
asciilifeform: errybody else who has similar derp gateway ( ...qntra ? ) oughta do the same.
mircea_popescu: alrighty then
asciilifeform: i'ma fix the links shortly.
mircea_popescu: in time, if actually cool enough, can even end up invited here.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the fromphuctors can go to what do you call yours, #loperos ?
mircea_popescu: subhumans have no business here ; let them go to whatever castles the respective lords feel like making the allowance.
asciilifeform: i admit i'm surprised that we were able to have one for this long.
mircea_popescu: ok so i've set r mode ; which means only registered users can join. this will directly resolve the join/part spamolade ; but in general it's quite in line with the narrowing of tolerance for self-important douchebaggery, precisely in the vein of http://trilema.com/2018/the-republic-without-mp/#selection-175.0-179.0 ; http://trilema.com/2018/how-things-have-changed/ etcetera.
mircea_popescu: even if "she" can count to 10
mircea_popescu: the pretense that they're people will have to be abandoned sooner or later. like all idle pretense, it is unsustainable on the long term.
asciilifeform: pretty surreal experience. picture if you sat down to write a piece on tanks, and decided to start with discussion of chariots, and then saw that somehow chariot is mentioned nowhere, and the very word -- forgotten
mircea_popescu: THAT is the fucking problem, in quite those terms. that i somehow care about the morons. cuz i must, cuz i'm their mother or some dumb shit. but aaanyways.
a111: Logged on 2018-05-04 17:15 zx2c4: mircea_popescu: oh. so. "the world doesnt care about the cool hackers on the internet, but only the assholes with prestigious positions." this has been a widely known complaint for a long time
mircea_popescu: how did that idiocy go, http://btcbase.org/log/2018-05-04#1809349 ☝︎
asciilifeform: briefly thought 'it's in szabo's 'seals' piece' ( https://archive.is/5GQcR ) but turns out, nope.
asciilifeform: not the ancient clay, not the sawed-apart rifle shells from ww2, none of'em. somehow -- evaporated.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: unrelatedly, asciilifeform recently set out to write an article, and went to look for the clay shards crypto item , and found nuffin but... our l0gz
mircea_popescu: this being the essence of provincialism, though, "have you heard about that guy ?" "oh, yeah, he's my wife's cousin"
a111: Logged on 2018-03-21 16:44 mircea_popescu: "Like a bad ass she is, she proved to be wise beyond her years by standing head and shoulders (Or is it ass-tall) with the boys." doesn't even INTEND irony, you realise.
mircea_popescu: is anything smaller than anglo "culture" ? i mean we're plumbing http://btcbase.org/log/2018-03-21#1788430 levels of tiny-ness over here. ☝︎
asciilifeform recalls ancient lulz, the 'hipcrime' spammer, who ended up becoming one of the last nails in the usenet coffin
lobbesbot: Logged on 2018-08-04 16:18:15: <amar> /!\ ATTN: This channel has moved to irc.efnet.org #LRH /!\
a111: Logged on 2017-12-18 01:18 phf: "The l0de radio hour is a long-running live call-in show that irregularly broadcasts over the internet, and to pirate shortwave and FM stations. It is hosted by Lode Ray Dio, a gypsy hustler with a long history of fraud, grifting, and treason. The show is notable for its frequent cancellations, obscene and bizarre content, and a high rate of listener suicide."
mircea_popescu: http://logs.minigame.biz/2018-08-04.log.html#t16:18:15 << check it out, the smartasses are actually those http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-18#1752954 wanna-bes. ☝︎
asciilifeform: hey they recently even 'made' harry houdini into jew
mircea_popescu: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avram_Steuerman-Rodion << even better example, "Steuerman himself is often described as an obscure contributor to Romanian literature, but survives in cultural memory for having given a poetic voice to the ideals of Jewish integration. "
asciilifeform: ( this item forgotten in en world, but lives on in ru , in the form of marshak's 'Три мудреца в одном тазу Пустились по морю в грозу. Будь попрочнее Старый таз, Длиннее Был бы мой рассказ.' )
asciilifeform: '...and if the tub had been stronger, my tale would have been longer'
mircea_popescu: i can scarcely imagine a lulzier scene than argentina-borne monkeys inside german old diesel scrapmetal pile.
asciilifeform: somehow he harnessed the monkeys and built two whole jets. which then used in overthrow of peron, then rusted into dust.
asciilifeform: kurt tank tore out his hair, iirc 'they don't even know how to make machine screws' ☟︎
mircea_popescu: like one of those mcguyverists that's actually more committed to the duct taping process than to the end product.\
mircea_popescu: they didn't try though. the important part was in the jury-rigging.
asciilifeform: even when they got the occasional functional brain.
asciilifeform: didn't, naturally, work ( recall the story of kurt tank )
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: as i understand, the .ar/.uy folk thought they could jury-rig a sort of 'alt-europe'.
asciilifeform saw the nonagenarian italian zombies, still walking the streets of BingoBoingostan, with own eyes
mircea_popescu: in case you're wondering how the argentina-uruguay-etc ended up the shitholes that they are, that's exactly it : gave their money away to anarcho-humanitary-pacifisto-veganist & feminists, because "sons of europe".
asciilifeform: 'Relgis lived the final decade of his life as a pensioner of the Uruguayan state—in 1985, a law raised his pensión graciable to 20,000 new pesos a month' << lol
mircea_popescu: (fellow also went to uruguay, is the tenuous point of apropos)
a111: Logged on 2018-05-05 18:05 mircea_popescu: aand in other items of entomological interest, the wikipedia take on politicized pseudo-literary criticism is something else. aphra behn is lionized, because they're ever-so-desperate to discover, invent or if need be entirely hallucinate "remarkable" cuntbearers of the shakespeare period that some random jailbird is A HEROINE OF FEMINISM!!!
mircea_popescu: (for comparison, eg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constantin_Daicoviciu ; this is an actually important fellow, unlike random no-name http://btcbase.org/log/2018-05-05#1810279 ; so it's quite clearly not the romanians being momentarily unlazy) ☝︎
mircea_popescu: in other ~equivalent lulz, the jewish lobby has undergone some massive effort to publicize romanian-born early 20th century jewry, resulting in huge wikipediaballs such as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eugen_Relgis
mircea_popescu: "oh, that's a cat" "oh, journalists"
mircea_popescu: exactly the same substance as the "artwork" basis of http://maddox.xmission.com/irule_.html ☟︎
mircea_popescu: my take is more in the vein of "visual thinkers attempting to rehash the 'hilary pedophilia scandal' for substance and of course plastering '-gate' and 'journalists' labels is how markov chains work".
asciilifeform: usg.red set'em up a 'pedo scandal'(tm) to remove politically unreliable (i've nfi , but presumably even in this set of fleas there is a set of more- and less- nsa-approved halves ) ; so fleanode.blue whine ( redditus bonsaikitten has no response mechanism aside from the whine )
asciilifeform: it's a prayer to the inca, wat. typical homo redditus fare.
mircea_popescu: im not their fucking mother.
asciilifeform: 'we have pheeelings! and will tell mother!'
mircea_popescu: harem girls have harem conversations IN THE FUCKING HAREM. ima talk to the master of the house, not to the chatterchorus.
mircea_popescu: this shit though, where "feelings" became acceptable topics of conversation in public, has gotta fucking cease.
mircea_popescu: kinda made the point to me, that probably we're the only ones to even notice ; the cattle live in their barn on their cattle diet, shit's unremarkable to them.
mircea_popescu: in which spirit, http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/pwpgR/?raw=true being the fecal consistency of #freenode the past half hour. >2k users, 0 useful product.
asciilifeform: via mircea_popescu's link >> https://freenode.net/news/freenode-live-keynotes << holy fuq, the barfology
mircea_popescu: "christel on 2018-07-27 Many of you will have noticed that over the last few days there has been an extensive spambot wave on freenode, and on other networks." after which one loses interest in reading further, seeing how only a moron would use that lede.

a111: Logged on 2018-08-04 00:11 mod6: Attn Pizarro Customers: The auction was settled at $8200.00, and will be used as the price point for August invoices.
mod6: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-08-04#1839230 << Sorry all, I screwed this up. Will cancel all invoices, and re-price & re-do. Anyone who paid, will be refunded the exact amount, and reinvoiced at the correct amount. ☝︎
mod6: i think there was a lot of mental gymnastics I had to do.

mircea_popescu: nfi why this is so anti-intuitive lol
mod6: seems to make sense, anyway.
mircea_popescu pulls the actual data
mod6: this ^
mircea_popescu: if youi buy a tank of gas for 50 bux gas isn't now 50bux a GALON, it's 50 bux a tank.
mircea_popescu: if you buy 1.1 drinks for 9 dollars the drink rate is 9/1.1 not 9 yes ?
mod6: i will cancel the outstanding invoices, and send back trinque's money. and re-invoice everyone at the correct rate.
mod6: how do i figure out the rate?
mod6: was thinking i had to "buy 8200 fiats" for 1.1, and that was the rate.
mod6: did I do that wrong?
mod6: Hey, nice ben_vulpes! Thanks for putting that together, I'll comb through it tomorrow and check numbers.
ben_vulpes: BingoBoingo mod6 asciilifeform: http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/6dB0R/?raw=true << detailed walkthrough of how i've been generating reports for pizarro, along with trial report for july. will doublecheck numbers tomorrow and finalize.
mod6: thanks trinque!
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-08-04#1839243 << attempting one as we speak ( if no dice, will reflash the vacant rk with classical img ) ☝︎
mod6: ^ price for 1 month too, should BingoBoingo decide on month-to-month.
mod6: Alright, last one that remains is BingoBoingo's should he decide to renew for a quarter. Of which, there is a price quote above.

trinque: and thank you!
mod6: Ok aweome. Thx.
trinque: cool deal, that's exactly what I wanted in the logs
mod6: The invoices that I just made cover the service through the month of August. Invoices received need to be paid by the last day of August.
ben_vulpes: billing as soon as the price signal is set avoids further waffling over spread between when price signal is set and when bills go out. necessarily entails a move to billing in advance.
