PeterL: ^ about WOT display: it wouldn't be a bug if shinohai went
through and re-rated everybody in his wot with no comment, look at
the
time stamps
☟︎ lobbesbot: asciilifeform:
The operation succeeded.
Mocky: phf, good info,
thanks. looks like cheapest flight in august is bouncing around $1250
to $1350, haven't seen
the $1150 sighting again. If I push it out past labor day looks like $950
phf: same deal with, e.g. moscow. $600-500 roundtrips all year spike
to $1,5k in summer
phf: new york flights are
the baseline
to go by,
they
tend
to be
the cheapest, and have direct flights by foreign airlines
to places i usually go
to, so for example istanbul is $1,2k right now, drops
to $900 in august, in early september it's
the regular price of $700 or so
phf: this is summer u.s. vacation prices, personally i'm not
traveling until end of august, when $1900 flights
to anywhere suddenly(!!1) drop
to $900
BingoBoingo: Anyways,
the locals rarely
travel within
the city
BingoBoingo: Mocky: I am in Pocitos near
the datacenter.
Mocky: copa's 2700 or more for any
time in august, from what I can see
BingoBoingo: You can
take Copa and do a layover in Panama City
Mocky: oh
that sux, i'd
totally do a layover in miami
BingoBoingo: Mocky: Just avoid
the American Airlines flight direct from Miami, its frequently delayed or cancelled
mircea_popescu: kinda how i fly. used
to have old world all mapped out, "and here';s
the schnitzel place we stop for in frankfurt, and here's
the,..."
Mocky: i need
to find one with 23hrs in cancun and 23 hours in jamaica, lol
Mocky: man,
these flights are a hoot. looks like getting below $1900 requires 2
to 3 long layovers. cheapest one i see $1153 9 hours in JFK, 16hrs Bogota
BingoBoingo: * asciilifeform went into several pharmacies in BingoBoingostan, saw ~100% herbal/snakeoil crapolas. possibly
they keep
the real pharma behind counter. <<
They carry real stuff, but you have
to ask. Barrier is "know
the name of what you want"
a111: Logged on 2018-07-18 19:25 BingoBoingo: Grocery shopping here is also a
trip, Peanut butter runs about 5 USD for a
tiny jar, but... Entrecot, God's own cut of beef runs about 10 USD a kilo
mircea_popescu: problem with wood is
that it's
too friable.
they basically made metal from parts.
mircea_popescu: if
this were
true, korea'd have won some war at some point in its history.
ben_vulpes: pathological fear of firearms doth not
translate
to safe firearm use
mircea_popescu: the cult of safety is
the enemy of safety. like all other inca products.
Mocky: i left and never went back. i should have know by how nice
the place was.
too nice.
Mocky: last year doc referred me
to specialist for one specific issue. specialist ordered 2 dozen labs, bone density scan, ultrasound, said come back in 2 weeks. came back, said looks all good but want another
test. went
to lab, blood draw chick whips out 7 vials for blood collection. I said, let me see what labs were ordered, was 4 dozen more!
Mocky: BingoBoingo, what are pharmacies like
there, do you know? like mexico: basically walk in and ask for what you need, or more sticklers for note from doc?
mimisbrunnr: Logged on 2018-07-18 19:48 asciilifeform: lobbes, shinohai : it seems unfortunate
that
text forum does not give equivalent of
the duel .
the ancients invented dueling precisely for your case, you're ideal candidates.
BingoBoingo: lol, not fluid enough
to drink.
That would likely
take days
BingoBoingo: Half a kilo of dulce de leche,
the good stuff runs less
than 3 USD for a half kilo
BingoBoingo: Grocery shopping here is also a
trip, Peanut butter runs about 5 USD for a
tiny jar, but... Entrecot, God's own cut of beef runs about 10 USD a kilo
☟︎ BingoBoingo: Carrasco International Airport is also far less fucked up
than
the options in Buenos Aires
BingoBoingo: Plenty of Venezolanas working on getting
their professional licenses here
trained in
the intense soviet
tradition
BingoBoingo: And
this is Latin America so any sort of insurance can always be supplemented with cash and carry
BingoBoingo: The way it works here is
three
tiers: public (free and shitty), Mutualistas (Pick one of several good options for low waits, runs 4300 pesos a month), Private (reimplementation of US
tardation)
BingoBoingo: The way healthcare works here however is vastly improved over
the US
BingoBoingo: Tres Cruces is a fun place
to go
to chat cute girls but... it
the only barrio with
traffic issues, far from
the water, and
the place I most frequently run into dyed hair activist sorts (the national bus
terminal seems
to be irresistable bait for
the fifth column)
BingoBoingo: There's still expat focused material
tryping
to pump up property prices in La Blanqueda, Malvin Norte and other shitholes
that are an unpleasant walk from
the water.
BingoBoingo: Prado's cool but far from everything, otherwise
to get low pichi (bum) density
the area from Parque Rodo and playa Ramirez all
the way
through Carrasco (maybe skip Malvin) is a good place
to start.
BingoBoingo: <Mocky> BingoBoingo, I've just read
through your real estate posts, what was your best source of info re: rentals, was it agencies? <<
The best big picture survey is on "Mercado Libre" From
there you ask and poke
mircea_popescu: this rapidly escalates into a "what does it mean
to program".
mircea_popescu: diana_coman neither of
those are it, i guess ima embark on a re-read expedition, it's discussed somewhere 2015ish pretty sure
mircea_popescu: but i suspect it's in
the vein of "a lot of
the utility of sledgehammer comes from
there being all
these abandoned warehouses
to loot" "well... how about you organised
things better,
then no sledgehammers"
mircea_popescu: in fact, a lot of
the utility of pipe (and with it, a lot of
the utility of unix altogether) comes from it being, fundamentally, a loosely specified scripting lang.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it';s a recurring problem
though, recall
the "url length hacks" endemic
throughout web age ?
mircea_popescu: i've been
thinking a lot about
this since discussions re how mining bot should be configured in eulora.
mircea_popescu: i suspect a (large) part of
the problem is
the
temptation
to stuff ad-hoc scripting langs in
the cmd line ;
mircea_popescu: ok, let me rephrase : if program includes "long strings"
then compiler
turns stack into heap.
mircea_popescu: yes, but
the problem is
that
they're
trying
to help idiots in spite of
themselves. which...
mircea_popescu: if you don't like
that behaviour, don't use
that
thing which necessitates it.
mircea_popescu: no, because machine memory is alwayus
the limit. all compiler has
to do is simply say
the (correct) "sorry, i can;t help you here", and allocate all available memory for stack.
mircea_popescu: if program includes
this sort of
thing, define stack as max mem.
mircea_popescu: no, i understand
that part. what i don't understand is why is it a problem.
mircea_popescu: for
the logs : 1st byte is, byte length of 2nd segment. 2nd segment is, byte length of 3rd segment. 3rd segment is payload. so "hola" is 14hola and 0xFF FF FF encodes for a 2.00352993e+19728 byte long string.
