BingoBoingo: This, or something similar is what I'm inclined to do next auction. Open it at a locally available rate + margin for some double digit dosiedo costs.
mp_en_viaje: BingoBoingo, one possible approach here is to set yourself a hook-up irl, and then put the auction in at THAT price.
BingoBoingo: The bicycle guy and a few others. The others tend to insist on larger spreads.
mp_en_viaje: but hey -- at least sitting on ass for a year and not making any contacts on local bitcoins resulted in local bitcoins finally closing down, and so now we don't need to make excuses for why no contacts doing the p2p thing -- "there is nowhere" etc.
mp_en_viaje: it is a measure of idiocy, this, when in a market trading at x, you're stuck trading at 2/3 x.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> speaking of this, BingoBoingo -- how long until ~you~ can pick up yer phree world passport ? << Still at least a couple years out.
asciilifeform: ( could, e.g. spyked ? diana_coman ? all you need is a free world passport, and rake in the dough ) ☟︎
asciilifeform: it's a potentially large, if temporary, buried treasure, for anyone outside reich to collect
mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, "making ready" ain't a thing.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-07-09#1922152 << it does seem like there's a gaping hole that someone who lives where can easily use heathen exchange houses, could fill, 'buy cheap, sell dear' ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2019-07-09 02:35 Mocky: fyi to mocky.org readers: blog will be in a sad state for a bit but functional. images not fitting page size, most old comments refused to import, will need to write a script to dump them in one at a time. I'm putting the old content of mocky.org at mockyhabeeb.com for reference until everything is back in place
mp_en_viaje: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-07-09#1922151 << if you dig through mp-wp guts there's a means to auto-adjust image size to order for a batch of images. the uploader uses it. ☝︎
Mocky: fyi to mocky.org readers: blog will be in a sad state for a bit but functional. images not fitting page size, most old comments refused to import, will need to write a script to dump them in one at a time. I'm putting the old content of mocky.org at mockyhabeeb.com for reference until everything is back in place ☟︎
BingoBoingo: Do you have a backup of your image directory somewhere?
Mocky: I deleted everything in www and cp -a * ~/www/ from in wwwhabeeb and now images are broke in mocky.org and mockyhabeeb.com, which i expected to be unchanged
Mocky: BingoBoingo: I have my blog posts migrated over to the mp-wp you set up for me on UY1, I want to switch over and have mocky.org served from there. What's a good way to do that?
BingoBoingo: It's a monthly auction. But don't go firing off invoices without firing off wires.
BingoBoingo: Faster delivery is nice, but delivery in a reasonable frame of time is acceptable
Mocky: if i had a couple more benjies i'd bid on that
asciilifeform: it's a toy atm.
asciilifeform: will genesis like civilized people when myself have a free hand (atm do not, still writing piece re what remains to be done in ffa and how long takes etc )
mp_en_viaje: one of the beautiful things about minsk is that the sun sets a tlike 23:0
asciilifeform: the reason why posted, is that theoretically this is enuff to start the cuntoo port. supposing anyone finds himself with a free hand.
asciilifeform: there's a version that actually logs erry single tick and fills yer disk, and a set of utils for cutting apart said logs, but omitted here for clarity.
BingoBoingo: That's kinda the North America story in a nutshell. Could have had California gold, came late as a rush and ancestors OD'd on Kurt Cobain in the desert instead.
BingoBoingo: Lol, so it is. But as you've said Trump is a sorta clown.
mp_en_viaje: dude is exactly the clueless if vapid, neglected offspring of a rich father. "businessman in his own right", duh, just like paris, some little derivative derpitudes here and there.
mp_en_viaje: what a title
bvt: mp_en_viaje: i will have a look if i can arrange it -- right now i have another travel scheduled around that time.
a111: Logged on 2019-07-07 16:41 ave1: I was thinking about generating it from a table, but then stopped myself (first do it a couple of times then automate)
BingoBoingo: But that's a much smaller cut of the aspie pie
BingoBoingo: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-07-07#1921990 << An accumulated pile of said aspies from the 1960s through the present. Their ranks are bulked up a bit by workers for the state oil business who've moved into the PCU after their previous club collapsed when their cult of personality personality who was given the oil firm's helm was caught in a spiral of scandals early 2018 ☝︎
ave1: I was thinking about generating it from a table, but then stopped myself (first do it a couple of times then automate) ☟︎
ave1: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-07-07#1921987, Yes I used graphviz, fill in action from a basic example on their site. ☝︎
mp_en_viaje: course, starting from a basis so narrow as to defy statistics. but anyways
mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, 50% increase a year or somesuch
asciilifeform: there's a sovok-flavoured variant also ( and stoked somewhat by the fact that sov passport is still theoretically valid in modern ru )
BingoBoingo: And dude talking from on high to ambiguously fire or not 4 folks and a couple is only the beginning of the local lulz here lit this week
BingoBoingo: If they Navy and all four of their boats and Army with too many generals for half a division decide to do the coup thing... as fun as that might be, gotta lay out the facts of who would be laying out
mp_en_viaje: a ok
BingoBoingo: It's a notes dump that'll get clarified in a Uruguay dispatch. Inside baseball and all that stuff that would not matter to the world if we didn't have a rack parked here.
BingoBoingo: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-07-06#1921918 << This seems to be the problem of Uruguay and the rest of the aspiring to develop world.The dominant sector in the FA which will likely force a split are the Social Democrats/Democratic Socialists that have been to Miami and Spain yet aspire to emulate the Oslo they have never seen with their own eyes. ☝︎
BingoBoingo: So now there's a Talvi write notes for Uruguay's retirement plans to trade on wall street (as if) Colorado Party and Guido's "Guns look best with Chrome" Colorado Parties now sharing a 9/6% or 8/7% split of the vote in october.
BingoBoingo: The dig turns out otherwise empty Cabildo Abierto having been a shell started by pro-dictatorship faction of the old Colorado party trying to fork off the local reddit derps exemplified by identifies as NY trained economist guy.
BingoBoingo: Election overview is baking, should come within the next 18 hours. Got stuck in a local rabbit hole. Pizarro statement to follow by end of the day Sunday.
mp_en_viaje: getting ready for a slashdot sale, i take it.
BingoBoingo: <mp_en_viaje> did that kiss of death of a pompous piece of shit ever come up with something ? forget about "coinlab not launching any product". has graham's derpy scam launched anything in the 5 or so years since anyone even looked to laugh at them ? << As far as I can tell they keep whipping the same cows. Dropbox, less frequently and AirBnB all the time.
mp_en_viaje: oh! and besides that time when "journalists translate spanish", that lulzy time (also in 2012) when "smart kids" did the boo boo on windows only, cuz "how will mp ever notice". lawd this was a fun spelunking session.
mp_en_viaje: in a sense, this is the marketable strength of the whole approach, "you know what the difference is between your rural summer kitchen and my clean room operation ? this latter thing cleans itself kekekekex!!!"
mp_en_viaje: and the obvious answer is "because they are SO FUNDAMENTALLY DIFFERENT, it's worth one's time". which is obvious to the familiar mind, but probably a significant bar towards getting a php-er to think lisp may be interesting.
mp_en_viaje: anyway, the obvious question (from the php-mind) re the split would be "why", buttressed by the observation that "if you're gonna do any page processing at all, you wanna start after all the symbols you can possibly want to use have resolved. this is why php ~starts~ work on a pile of code AFTER things such as "calling user ip" is a known quantity : so you don't end up with two phases, one of which being stuck with undefined symbols the 2nd will
spyked: i think it's safer to say that cl-who is a compiler from a particular set of s-expr into html. and looking at my (yet-again convoluted!) explanation, I can now distinctly remember that most debugging issues I've had were caused by not understanding the language.
mp_en_viaje: did that kiss of death of a pompous piece of shit ever come up with something ? forget about "coinlab not launching any product". has graham's derpy scam launched anything in the 5 or so years since anyone even looked to laugh at them ?
spyked: mp_en_viaje, the lisp-in-html-in-lisp... occurs at macroexpansion time. the result is Lisp code that takes input and outputs html. human operator's main job is to distinguish which part of the template is html, and which does mechanical work (e.g. taking rows from a db and putting them into page)
a111: Logged on 2019-07-05 18:10 mp_en_viaje: spyked, http://thetarpit.org/posts/y05/095-cl-who-ii.html#selection-207.23-207.57 << is this even a good idea ? why would you want to interleave lisp and html ? how the fuck is anyone gonna debug the salad ?
diana_coman: the one in Minsk (as in St Petersburg so I put it on -> Russian) was a. deeper (doubling as nuclear shelter?) b. accelerating for all it was worth (so more likely long-distance idea)
diana_coman: the striking difference re bucharest esp was simply that tube in Bucharest is /was clearly made for medium-long distance, a "cross the gridlocked centre" sort of thing while the one in Paris was to a large extent for short distance (or at least most lines i.e. there are some, fewer "express" lines)
diana_coman: I think it was one X with some concentric circles + north-south and east-west lines but I never really studies the map in a lot of detail
a111: Logged on 2019-07-05 22:18 mp_en_viaje: i'd just make a grid, every mile a line each way.
diana_coman: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-07-05#1921843 -> in my experience Paris was closest to this i.e. wherever one was, walking < 5 minutes gets one to a tube station ☝︎
mp_en_viaje: and it's a straight line with switchings ? like in 1850 ?
asciilifeform: here they have a depot on ea. end of ea. line.
asciilifeform: possibly not even, but that crossings are a failure point
mp_en_viaje: i'd just make a grid, every mile a line each way. ☟︎
mp_en_viaje: i'm not even persuaded it's a bad idea. if you only have dough for that track length, making a cross possibly optimal load. and if not constrained by historical idiocy, like budapest with its 1898 lines look like they were dug by moles, might as well just make a proper grid, #
mp_en_viaje: in other lulz : most slavorc towns have metro systems consisting of a big X on the map
asciilifeform: cannot nao find in O(1) this piece, but iirc had 'picture if you called undertaker, and he replied that he's waiting for a tram with enuff room to bring the coffin'
asciilifeform: this is prolly where asciilifeform ought to honestly admit, that he dun even have the equiv. of 'three grades of church school education' in this subj : in fact had never been to a bordello at all. so the last thing alive vs subj expert.
mp_en_viaje: not even sport, not like i fucked anyone. was for blogging, you know, to draw a map gotta draw the limits. just like math analysis, go for the remarkable points of inflection etc.
asciilifeform: iirc mp_en_viaje did one time write a portrait of a sad bordello he went into, (in cr?), where chix on flea mattresses behind curtains. but presumably this -- was for sport
asciilifeform: a++ heuristic then, makes sense
asciilifeform: is logic here that if it were a quality bordello, neon would be rounding error in operating cost ? and therefore 'wrong gate'
mp_en_viaje: i would not ditch a, say, electronic parts dealer because his office is in abandoned mall by decrepit diner 20 miles off highway.
mp_en_viaje: by their websites you'd think they rebuilt glory days las vegas ; but when you get there it looks more like some over-excited 11th graders got a hold of a dad's computer.
mp_en_viaje: so we opt out, go for 2nd best. it is a... well i dunno, basically looked like a bus stop in the distance.
mp_en_viaje: ate (very nice food, "friendship" pectopan in friendship park, a++ beerhouse, great soup great snitzel etc) ; then went for the "moulin rouge", top best cathouse-cunnyshack. driver takes us to a... well... i dunno, construction yard ? narrow dark alley betwen a concrete wall and some metal panes delimiting an earthy ditch.
asciilifeform: will admit, even as a boy was thoroughly puzzled, 'for what do they need us in usa, why invited?'
a111: Logged on 2017-06-08 15:10 asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i can't comment on ro emigres, but with su world there was a lulzy twist : 1st wave (1970s -- largely j000z!11) wrote home, 'i'ma full professor and it rocks, come on over', 2nd wave went, to discover that market -- glut, and hello cab
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: imho a++ theory. and ties in with the http://btcbase.org/log/2017-06-08#1667175 item also. ☝︎
mp_en_viaje: spyked, http://thetarpit.org/posts/y05/095-cl-who-ii.html#selection-207.23-207.57 << is this even a good idea ? why would you want to interleave lisp and html ? how the fuck is anyone gonna debug the salad ? ☟︎
BingoBoingo: With that 2017 eclipse, I though a lot of people learned ccd's can overheat
BingoBoingo: Back in old country at such events there was always a certain caste of old women attending to or supervising such concessions for their ability to make change or round the damn prices.
asciilifeform: fwiw it was such a sad chunk of sadness that i regret what spent on the train ticket, not even speaking of time.
asciilifeform: there was even an indian d00d who offered her a 20 and 'stop counting the change for next n people omfg and move the fucking line'
mp_en_viaje: very much a turkey dollar problem. everyone's rich in jam tomorrow, jam today on ration card.
asciilifeform: i recall a mp_en_viaje article where there was detailed portrait of argentine 'academic', with bow tie etc, demanding shop credit line to buy a pair of boots or what was it
mp_en_viaje: cuz everyone's a lawyer and lotta printolade.
mp_en_viaje: belarus has such a vhs america hardon like YOU COULD NOT BELIEVE
mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, yes, iirc i was held to pay for a piece of hardware to replace extant ? or was it two ?
mp_en_viaje: after 30, w/e, "gotta take care of dependents" what have you. but a young woman with wallflower syndrome's not healthy.
mp_en_viaje: very much like a pizarro that manages to go through week without approaching any customers.
asciilifeform: in asciilifeform's extended meatwot, there was a d00d who moved to norway. declared that it was on acct of some peculiar heathen music he played in a band, that is in fashion there, stayed, he said, for the pliable chix
mp_en_viaje: mostly other-nordic kids, who apparently are just as fucked in the head, but stuck with a more functional country against their will.
mp_en_viaje: c) these people are genuinely fucking nice to a degree not seen since costa rica. they're not usually very efectual, for systematic reasons beyond their control, but holy shit they WANNA help.
mp_en_viaje: in other local flavour : a) never in life seen so many drunks ambling about, not even in ro 90s, not in moscow 90s, never. this place is something else. b) never before seen radical feminist hairdo that works well! they have them here, just complimented girl on her peculiar shaved sides with thick braid on top of head. cute as fuck.
BingoBoingo: Because Norway isn't a county. It is just a shithole.
BingoBoingo: "Wow this scamming the tourists business got awfully dangerous all of a sudden, lets go back to scamming the downtrodden"
mp_en_viaje: item belongs as a museum of european stupidity.
asciilifeform: based on phf's reports, even in india this aint a thing in 21st c
asciilifeform: and lol! they rented mp_en_viaje a janitor closet, for cost of whole flat?!!
