Mocky: step 2 seems paperwork heavy for both company and real estate leasers plus ~4 week wait on inspector
Mocky: next step would be a Trade License which requires lease of physical location and inspction of same. third step of filing with immigration service requires both 1 and 2, and at that point only can hire employees and issue residence permits and sponsor foreigners
Mocky: mircea_popescu, this first step of Commercial Registration gives trade name, ability to open corp bank acct, accept customer payments, purchase company assets. In addition to small fees there's an annual fee of ~400 to 2000 USD per declared business activity, each activity has its own fee. This process appears to be quick and easy.
Mocky: yeah, may take a while
Mocky: feeling any better from your car crash?
Mocky: good morning mod6
Mocky: mircea_popescu, forming an LLC in Qatar requires a bank deposit of 200k QR (55k USD) which can be withdrawn after the company is formed >> http://www.mec.gov.qa/en/services/commerce-corner/Pages/How-to-establishment-a-new-Commercial-record-and-new-.aspx
Mocky: but yes I see the knock on effects are not the same as superficial effects
Mocky: seems like no node operator benefits individually from a non-optimal link to miners.
Mocky: I presumed as much
Mocky: ahh, yes I've seen but didn't know who emits
Mocky: asciilifeform, is there a way to quantify "for a time"? Because requiring a 'tour of duty' dun necessarily seem like a bad thing. Is showing up with faster hash rate and getting full advantage on day one something to optimize for? (or day N, which is why I wonder how to quantify)
Mocky: I'm looking at local conferences, local politics, tech and business groups / meetups. expect to chat up street market vendors on the regular if these are actually arabs and not indians
Mocky: mircea_popescu, so local sponsor must hold >50% controlling interest in any new business. local chamber of commerce apparently on the look out for profitable opportunities with foreigners. I'm not sure where else to look specifically aside from generally making a lot of friends and getting introductions. ☟︎
Mocky: lol!
Mocky: BingoBoingo, yeah but even if you could find one of the ~30k marriage age females (among 3.7M pop), and convince her to endure the social downgrade and forgo citizenship for any children, MUST then convince bride's father & suiter then converts to islam!
Mocky: ha, "However, the new decree stipulates that if a permanent resident leaves Qatar for more than six months, the interior minister could withdraw from the residency" ☟︎
Mocky: seems like a play at keeping those who are already 'lifers', but unofficially so
Mocky: also apparently lifting exit visa requirement
Mocky: but only if lived there for 20 years and among 100 'blessed' applicants per year
Mocky: in other news, Qatar becomes First Gulf State to Offer Expat Permanent Residency http://archive.is/8BXOX
Mocky: I have nfi, never followed closely
Mocky: "NOT always-shit" != "willing to go to the chair still"
Mocky: i noticed blackmail conspiracy theory at that link, maybe consorted with 17.99 yo
Mocky: 'Several users on 4chan’s technology board speculate that Theo is targeted first because he famously resisted an Intel backdoor.'
Mocky: i have a bag to check, but not even sure at this point if it will be half full.
Mocky: multiple trinitrons on the desk, multiple towers unstacked or stacked horizontally. sounds like asciilifeform has square footage to spare
Mocky: i guess you don't need to stack them
Mocky: oh nice, first time seeing anything like that
Mocky: yeah, not that heavy really just awkward to move solo
Mocky: and that hum, lol
Mocky: don't get me wrong, i loved mine back in the day
Mocky: great yeah if you hate desk space, lift weights and like hefty curvature
Mocky: unless ur a hunchback i suppose
Mocky: lappy screen is 4k. overkill honestly for a 15 inch
Mocky: i haven't done trinitron in like 12 years.
Mocky: yeah, laptop in a laptop bag. has been my primary workstation for some years now. except not packing the 43in monitor!
Mocky: BingoBoingo, thx, I'm sure i'll have questions aplenty
Mocky: among a few others
Mocky: asciilifeform, a brit book, but prolly less vintage: J.R. Smart '86
Mocky: feels like a mad dash with only two weeks before lift off BingoBoingo. new luggage arrived today.
Mocky: i wanted to try it. was dealing with a weight problem
Mocky: indeed so.
Mocky: usg dun care about ephedrine. i ordered from canadian pharmacy, contents printed on package
Mocky: I've been out of the travel game for a while i guess. I didn't even know "TSA presents: imma rape ur luggage m'kay" locks were a thing. And now that's just about all I can find.
Mocky: ahh, will take a look
Mocky: oh man, i'm glad you're ok
Mocky: quite so
Mocky: yeah, fantastic tradeoffs for a pretty narrow set of uses. even a console application for example will be pretty much unreadable during a period of heavy text spew. which you obviously know
Mocky: eink display is quite interesting. i've been a fan for some time, still using 2nd gen kindle to this day
Mocky: ahh. me too!
Mocky: mircea_popescu, why curious about that?
Mocky: huge mass yes, but all the good picks still less likely to be taken, and more willing to dote over whatever can be found
Mocky: if you're a woman who wants an arab man, qatar is the shit. step up on your pedestal and take your pick
Mocky: reportedly uae & qatar have lowest percent of females on planet earth ~25% of pop
Mocky: construction workers for their 2022 world cup stadii firmly in gulag, unpaid for year+, dying at a rate of 1 every 2 days, according to The Guardian ~2014 ☟︎
Mocky: they make about >75% of population
Mocky: seems like whole service industry is such a gulag for 1) indians 2) pakis 3) filipinos
Mocky: or if bank says you owe a dime, can't leave. no time limit
Mocky: yes, doesn't apply to visa on arrival which i'll be using. but if i want to stay past 60 days need some sort of business sponsor or hotel sponsor. and if use sponsor, their failure to file paperwork will prevent you from leaving
Mocky: i'm a noob to international travel, but the whole exit visa thing seems super sketchy to me
Mocky: 60 days to make something happen >> http://btcbase.org/log/2018-09-01#1846611 ☝︎
Mocky: tried to stretch it out in madrid long enough to look around but couldn't make it work
Mocky: on the way back I'll have 3 hrs in madrid and 3 in miami
Mocky: never been to London before, but from what i hear, can practice my arabic with half the population
Mocky: it was that or pay fiddy buks more for 12 hrs layover in turkey. turkey wasn't gonna let me out of the airport tho
Mocky: got my flight booked. will be on layover at heathrow for 15hrs on oct 8th ☟︎
Mocky: where's a niqab when you need one
Mocky: *into* log search results
Mocky: allah-spam in #eulora seemed mere annoyance until I noticed how it inserts pages of spam with log search results.
Mocky: but i like on that page how even the sidebar headlines have tldr;
Mocky: ^ such blatant display of power
Mocky: I'm working on a laptop hooked up to a 4k tv, so every time the power cycles I end up sitting listening to the neighborhood AC units powering down until my tv comes back.
Mocky: on the other side of town i know powers been out for hours
Mocky: not all that much of a hurricane here but powers been out at least 2 dozen times for about a minute each.
Mocky: i don't think what would have ever occurred to me BingoBoingo
Mocky: need to make some friends in the local halal markets ☟︎
Mocky: census data claims that the zipcode where I live has the highest concentration of arabs in the state, which if you do the math is ~700
Mocky: seems like there are a lot of dialects from gulf to african ☟︎
Mocky: i already like that there's no capitalization. i need to find a native speaker
Mocky: slow start, but i think i'm going to like arabic ☟︎
Mocky: I've witnessed in my grown children to my horror and despair
Mocky: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-06-18#1826621 ☝︎
Mocky: was shooting for half a dozen trades, but got an introduction to local trader via meat wot and I mentioned the total I'm selling
Mocky: turns out, in NC you can make btc traders eyes pop out of their head by uttering the words 'two bitcoin' ☟︎
Mocky: great, uncovering the depth of local bitcoin market
Mocky: Hey mod6, how goes?
Mocky: asciilifeform, sounds like less promise of something else
Mocky: tell a boy he's being sent to school, maybe he dun wanna go but no horror. hell him ballet school, (or fashion school or cheerleader camp *something else*) then yes, horror
Mocky: if it was ballet school, then yeah something else.
Mocky: seems to me both male and female cling to the continuity, but female has greater capacity to reframe the past to fit a completely different continuity narrative.
Mocky: ok, word is: no family in the region
Mocky: I cpu mined bitcoin when it was under 10. I made hundreds of dollars
Mocky ducks
Mocky: or maybe to get in?
Mocky: don't forget to hit that turbo button tho
Mocky: i don't have any complains, vague or otherwise. just stated what i saw. worked out for me in the end
