mats: mircea_popescu: bare metal as in,
a server intended for

BingoBoingo: Stab any structural members with
a screwdriver to be sure no vermin?
mircea_popescu: still, it's
a profession. job like this undertook by innocent party can easily cost 10x more than commercial value.
mircea_popescu: and this filth, this scum, these apeish subhuman objects of scorn and derision aim to participate in things ? with people ? form communities ? have
a voice ?
mircea_popescu: "I am hoping there will be
a hard fork and all is resolved soon so that we can go back to normal days with the excitement of watching and reading about all the innovation that is going on with Ethereum. Maybe /u/vbuterin if you have time."

a111: Logged on 2016-07-03 01:31 mircea_popescu: i'm curious what ending up paying 10x more to host servers than you pay to host women in

shinohai: I thought about it but they are
a pretty small pool in terms of total net hash.

a comment with link to the csv you used for source, and with your extracted set

a 15 quintillion step process xD
a111: Logged on 2016-07-02 20:49 BingoBoingo: But as qntra's been around
a while now also gotta maintain brand identity, which means current color scheme
BingoBoingo: But as qntra's been around
a while now also gotta maintain brand identity, which means current color scheme
☟︎ xcfw748: BingoBoingo noted. is this
a direction you would be interested in given some modifications? or is it not the right aesthetic for qntra?
BingoBoingo: Admirable effort, but doesn't let default styling shine where it should. It's
a bit too much
ben_vulpes: ran around in it nearly yearly...for
a while
trinque: asciilifeform: UCI is
a replacement for AWS or "hosting" or "computing for hire" or whatever you like; comparing it to your beloved home "ox" is ridiculous
trinque makes
a drive-by comment because otherwise busy drinking at pool with babes
shinohai: Im experiencing much the same with mine, after
a while goes to zero connections and never reconnects unless I restart.
mircea_popescu: ask nypd veteran from the days the city still ~worked, whether he'd like that for
a cruiser
phf: they have city court, district court and state court, and
a police building. i've not seen this many police cars patrollin in my life. even in russia
phf: gabriel_laddel: rockville, md. they had
a crime here once,
a black guy jaywalked.
mircea_popescu: "bitch, you got
a free pass because your white boy ass can't jump, an' now you go an' kill the homeboy ?!?!?!?"
phf: actually
a lot of ivies qualify
phf: "
A small university located in Orangeburg, SC where ghetto kids with low GPA's go so that they are able to say that they attended college. Drug and otherwise criminal activity on campus make the school experience here quite similar to living in the projects."
mircea_popescu: it is an absurd situation, to hate the usg and propose "independent people" are the solution, then look at what "soberania y patria bla bla" idiots make and decide you'd rather see
a slave empire in its place.
mircea_popescu: they don't understand words, in the sense that the meaning may form but the idea that there's
a relation between action and meaning is as foreign to them as tentacles are to mammal reproductory system.
mircea_popescu: in general, the correct pattern of interaction with argentines, and i suspect south americans in general, is to talk loudly and carry
a whip.
mircea_popescu: gabriel_laddel i was sick, recently. wanted supplies. idiots were running one single counter (of the two in the place) and the local women were doing their local womanly bullshit : bagfull of 100+ different 10gram items individually wrapped, to be paid with "credit card". so i asked the girl to call the manager over, and she was like "he's that way" and i was i dun give
a shit, call him over. at which point some kid with aspi
gabriel_laddel: "did i tell you about the one time when i took over management of
a grocery store for 10 minutes ?" < do tell
phf: who wants
a dead american on their hands for couple
a hundred bucks?
phf: that's
a pretty funny video
gabriel_laddel: physically I am
a twink, anyone trying to rob me with
a gun is
a threat
mircea_popescu: for over half the encounter, he was wide the fuck open to
a head-to-chin, and the fact that the croc totting ustard DIDNT lay him flat on his ass is an insult to humanity.
mircea_popescu: gabriel_laddel incidentally, if you think that fucktard was "
a threat", you have serious issues.
mircea_popescu: shinohai gaw fallout innit ? the same fucktards who were importantly commenting on websites, rettardit, tardstalk, what have you and "feeling like
a trader/investor/capitalist" for
a year or so.
gabriel_laddel: ^ anyways, if that occurs I'd like to be able to stuff
a backpack full of explosives, let the guy run off with it and then detonate without being bothered by the feds
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform economically ? did i tell you about the one time when i took over management of
a grocery store for 10 minutes ?
gabriel_laddel: the video of
a motorbike robbery from reddit
a year or two ago
mircea_popescu: gabriel_laddel VERY, VERY different in SA. you have no fucking idea, and apparently you've not been following my field reports. these people are retarded. economically speaking, they're dumber than
a gecko.
gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: I don't really want to gas anyone, but must be able to respond to threats in
a reasonable manner
mircea_popescu: gabriel_laddel computers do not cost 2x, except hte locals are 2x as idiotic. the home shopping network demographic pays 20 bux for
a plastic "earring organizer", but this is not because "plastic is expensive in the us".
a111: Logged on 2016-05-11 19:33 mircea_popescu: fwiw, young males that aren't entirely dumb go almost universally through this phase of "fantasy busienss" where they keep doing various coups in their heads, start
a carwash then buy
a shoestore with the proceeds then trade that in for
a chain fo restaurants etc etc etc.
gabriel_laddel: (am assuming I'd be able to ship in parts to BA, assemble them into machines and then take
a ferry and sell in MTV)
gabriel_laddel: mircea_popescu: Speaking of which, why is it so difficult to get 'stuff' into BA? If I wanted to ship in
a bunch of computer parts and undercut the Uruguay competition (computers reportedly cost 2x what they do in the states because ??) the issues would be what exactly?
a111: Logged on 2016-02-18 22:21 gabriel_laddel: I have
a few obligations to take care of here in the US first.
a111: Logged on 2016-07-02 13:58 mircea_popescu: the train example is very much illustrative. there is no purpose to trains! trains exist because of the following conversation : "hey, this steam engine is pretty neat, but is it always stationary ?" "i guess you could add
a rail to it..." "hmmmm".
