mircea_popescu: this is contradictory with your actual statement, "рубли (или евро для серверов в Словакии)".
mircea_popescu: a datacenter is a physical item with a fixed physical location.
mircea_popescu: if it has doubts as to its physical location, it is an isp not a dc.
mircea_popescu: if person "has several houses", person is not person, is real estate agent.
mircea_popescu: i'd have thought this is obvious ; or at least it is to all my girls that were ever sent to put roots down anywhere.
mircea_popescu: exact same here. if they don't know where they're located, they're not any part of this discussion.
mircea_popescu: i am not interested in discussing anything with the over-dcs indirection layer. that is the fucking point.
mircea_popescu: that layer MUST be pierced. that is also the fucking point.
mircea_popescu: much like dns, and for the same reasons as the dns, it does not serve us.
mircea_popescu: and as tempting as it may be TO THE NAIVE, this "oh, i found an actually workable one" is what we've been doing for years. there's people in the logs vouching for cherry servers, the FUCKTARDS who outlook.com their email and so following.
mircea_popescu: what's to expand, we're too big to be subletting randos apartments ; must have own brownstone owned outright.
mircea_popescu: we can afford to ; and we must do so. the fact that "nobody" ever lived in any other arrangement than subletting from whoever they were sucking the cock of that month dun enter into it.
mircea_popescu: and no, i expect owning the hardware will be sufficient.
mircea_popescu: sadly, it isn't, which is why this has been a topic for many months now.
mircea_popescu: keeps the blood moving and besides you never know where the other pet is waiting for you.
mircea_popescu: make sure you reg a corp and hire a lawyer on location.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform so get your citizenship, you never know when it's useful.
☟︎ mircea_popescu has never experienced this wonder where citizenship is a problem ; but then again whatevs.
mircea_popescu: it's squarely in the class of issues which, provided you have a lawyer pour enough hours into it, ALWAYS gets fixed your way.
mircea_popescu: so i guess to rephrase, "so start them working on your citizenship, you never know when it's useful."
mircea_popescu: but no, "us can't make planes" or "White boy can't jump" come well short of heat death of universe, and can't be fixed in the manner.
mircea_popescu: anyway. see what local lawyer has to say. that's what they're for.
mircea_popescu: and, to be perfectly clear : this is entirely non-blocking. much like the logs, if we end up with two ALL THE BETTER.\
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform so spend some bitcents buy a small place in shitberg and pretend like you live there what.
mircea_popescu: well, that there's a local party to whatever agreements ; a local someone to sue or threaten to sue ; and in general, it's a good thing to have.
mircea_popescu: why ~not~ have it ? you need the 500 bux or w/e it is that badly ?
mircea_popescu: there's overprovision that's stupid ; and then there's overprovision that's a matter of course. i've more fuel in the tank than ima going to use on the next sortie ; and more girls than i fuck and more food in the fridge than i eat and why the fuck wouldn't i.
mircea_popescu: now as to the other point : since you're making it for yourself, see if you can cram 1TB of ram in there for the phuctor box ?
mircea_popescu: and all this, of course, is going into the s.nsa books.
mircea_popescu: and you can do your own seals, as a bonus. at the very least have the girl blow on some nail polish.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform problem is what if you hafta replace item in raid.
mircea_popescu: i dunno, what's reasonable these days ? 256gb / 1+0 4ssd raid / some intel cpu ? or can you find rackable older amds ?
mircea_popescu: so then 1, for phuctor, 1tb item ; 1 for special purpose amd, as much as it can carry, and 2 run of the mill, what's to be found at a decent price.
mircea_popescu: that much ? usual cost ~100-150 per hour of tech hands.
mircea_popescu: doesn't take an hour to do this ; but they do have nimimums so.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform if you want to do with own hands the correct approach is to seal the box, have redundancy in there, and just switch over, ahve the box mailed to you etc.
mircea_popescu: you can't be jumping in a plane seat every time some toshiba pos dies, it's unsanitary.
mircea_popescu: BUT what i meant was, have a box of phuctor racked, and an identical box, stored at the dc (they do offer storage), or even also-racked.
mircea_popescu: if one dies, have them mail it to you, then you mail back.
mircea_popescu: beats airpl;ane, yes. not even a matter of cost, a matter of time and wear-and-tear of the human capital.
mircea_popescu: but esp for phuctor, why bother. what are the local techs gonna do with the old hdd, not like it's not all on the web anyway

BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Hillary published a book. The timing of the book's release coincides with Pelosi and Schumer moistening Herr Trump's balls.
BingoBoingo: They are going to white house dinners, and making "frameworks for future deals"
BingoBoingo: Now because of this Herr Trump is lavishing praise on them for "bipartisanship" while pantsuit's media arm is still villainizing him
BingoBoingo: next year is a congressional election year
BingoBoingo: By accepting Trump's hospitality those primary elections are getting much more expensive
mircea_popescu: in an amusing turn of events, dnc is actually shedding the jew press.
mircea_popescu: perfectly reasonable in economic terms, as they cost more than they make, but entirely incomprehensible in jew press terms, because they really thought they were princesses, somehow.
mircea_popescu: i didn't even mean financially, that part is you know, necessary bundle with the bezzle. i meant actually in ideal terms. intellectually, ideologically, however you'd call it.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> in an amusing turn of events, dnc is actually shedding the jew press. << Turn out Bezos is really going to get cooked
mircea_popescu: pravda was intellectually very simple and unassuming : here's shannonized gosplan.
mircea_popescu: this is very much a work of "it was a rainy night in december, i was having my tonsils basted when i stumbled on a copy of the gosplan blablabla"
mircea_popescu: it was comparatively easy to discern bad pravda copy from acceptable ; it is nigh on impossiblew to do same for washington post, nytimes and other fishwrappers, which is why the cloud of successive layers of "discussion" and "disagreement" and "critique" and so following.
mircea_popescu: as none of this has anything to do with reality, none of it is in any way beneficial, but 100% overhead.
mircea_popescu: in other words, pravda was a cutout triangle, whereas this is a 3d pyramid. way the fuck more material sinks in.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform under the pressure of necessity, it has to be.

mircea_popescu: god. wtf was the wanna-be big deal da who got von flondored recently ?
mircea_popescu: because there was some "economist" that was churning out curtis yarvinesque pieces that got similarily von flondored, except quietlier-ly
mircea_popescu: so, look at the shit krugman was churning out, or for that matter look at the shit paul graham was churning out. or yes, yarvin.
mircea_popescu: the proof positive of how expensive the idiocy was, is that they've failed to keep it up over time.
mircea_popescu: that's what "too expensive intellectually" means. they can't keep coming up with the dumb shit.
mircea_popescu: this is the thermodynamic brick wall of socialism. it's sterile in fiction.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: They had wordcount and utterance count
mircea_popescu: and soudnbyte count, and quotability index and in general, before the mayo got cut by trilema & friends, it was an actual mayo.

BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> goodenuff for nigerian spam, why not wapo. << Shannonizer doesn't do pro-Amazon lobbying and ad copy
mircea_popescu: he meant, "it's good enough for random mfa, why not good enough for ogilvy-mathers". and he has a point -- it is good enough.

He accused the staff member of writing him “coercive emails” about the accommodation and copied his entire class on climate and global change on the exchange."
BingoBoingo: Ah, here it is from Mr. Climatarast: "While he gave all of his students hard copies of his lecture notes before class, he said, he didn’t provide electronic copies because “based on my experience of providing all my students my lecture slides after each lecture for most if not all of the 16 times I have taught this course, I knew that one-third of my class would cease coming to my lectures if I provided them my lecture slides electro

mircea_popescu: that's the advantage of living in a small pond, the exact opposite of the problem of math.
mircea_popescu: i suppose you could stretch "hypocrisy" to try and fit it, if you must.
mircea_popescu: well you could also call it graham, or yarvin, or somesuch.
mircea_popescu: and the problem is also a LOT bigger than commonly understood. a scientist's ability to produce anything meaningful is forever trapped in the superifical tension of a very narrow menisc : between him being caught in a certain box ("paradigm") but not in the other one ("orthodoxy").
mircea_popescu: too loose and he won't be comprehended, like poisson couldn't read galois, notwithstanding certain talent and ability.
mircea_popescu: too tight and it won't be worth reading, like all the nature science being pushed out by the shovelful.
mircea_popescu: there is no such thing as information theoretical, seeing how information has an actual thermodynamic backing.
mircea_popescu: it is purely theoretical! as in theoretical physics theoretical.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform "if one built a cylinder with independent pistons and a partition, and put a single molecule in, and knew on which side it found itself, that one could extract entropy work out of the assemblage!"
mircea_popescu: which is what i mean by "entropy work". $value-of-entropy work.
mircea_popescu: anyway, to get back to the boxen : the correct solution to "how much box" is, on the basis of both practical observation (every time tought, either as science, or as art, or as political work worked to date ; not to mention coral growth and everything else) as well as theoretical understanding is to provide SPURS instead of walls.
mircea_popescu: because that's how you resolve the "i can't tell if this young'un is galois or insane" in practice of elder, slower, heavier gents : "follow ONE fucking spur to allow me to organize your nonsense, god damn it!"
