mircea_popescu: and in other presentation suggestions, homemade pate on homemade bread with chilera de jalapenos and/or pickles. followed by a nice cigar with a rum.
hanbot: hey nice report BingoBoingo. what sorta percentage of the 56 dcs contacted wrote back at all, for the curious?
BingoBoingo: Peru's a no go. Only independent "datacenters" advertising as such there aren't in the colo business. They are in the Pinoy spam for Espanol speakers business
BingoBoingo: Tomorrow cold calling Uruguay, then Colombia
hanbot: aha. sixty's pretty shitty, but relative to other service industries not so bad...
hanbot: well, service services, what industry, heh.
mircea_popescu: whjat happened to teh brazil prospect ? sounded reasonable enough ?
BingoBoingo: It's still there, but they timeline to make a business there is months out so I am still slutting it up and looking for faster sexier prospects where something might be able to turn on by Thanksgiving
BingoBoingo: The cost of doing anything in Brazil without already being established in a Mercosur jurisdiction also keeps adding up.
BingoBoingo: Still trying to move forward on Brazil, but gotta keep the parallelism up in the search lest locking issues screw the whole thing until next year.
BingoBoingo: In further digging looking at public undersea cable maps, Montevideo is apparently a popular destination for "disaster recovery" infrastructure.
BingoBoingo: Colombia also has substantial cable coming in from across the Caribean and through the Isthmus
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Good luck, may your Rotaku lang write head grow strong
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo srsly, takes months to reg a corp in brazil ?!
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: One month to reg corp in Brazil, more to bring corp online once corp'd
mircea_popescu: in juristidctions where that is the case, saner lawyers have pre-regd corps ready to be sold.
BingoBoingo: Panama also getting second deeper comb. First pass on Panama showed a lot of equinix
BingoBoingo: Hopefully that is the route fellipelali's contacts will lead, but substantial due diligence required. A lot of pre-regd corps in Brazil are loaded with debt.
BingoBoingo: Most on the market are failed gringo lifestyle projects
mircea_popescu: get the specific item, corp reg for sale by lawyer with no activity.
BingoBoingo still has lawyer to offer. Lawyer response rate has been dismal.
BingoBoingo: However plenty of "business hosts" servicing people who want long term re-entry visa to Brazil
BingoBoingo: Well yeah. Buncha people with paper frantically trying to keep the pretense of the paper's promises going. Who needs Vandals and Goths when you have baby boomers.
BingoBoingo: Brazil also has lingering liability in uncertain import duties for servers and networking equipment. Being the biggest, supposedly most togetherest on their continent has apparently fucked their heads.
BingoBoingo: Yes, Brazilian DC very hungry for business. The why of their hunger is a portion of the reason I have been getting practice patching drywall these past two weeks.

mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo item is markedly better in that it contains factual details ; still not great in that the details there present are disorganised, not evidently sorted into a complete tree with branches clipped by an obvious importance criteria and so on.
mircea_popescu: definitely acceptable for first month anyway, i'd say.
deedbot: RagnarDanneskjol voiced for 30 minutes.
shinohai: Espero k tengas un dia muy bestial! =^.^=
RagnarDanneskjol: I am totally with you on "where is it written" Fuckin A, these Cali chicks always trying to prove something in the sac. I'm having the same conversation all the time - 'where is it written that you have to grind my dick off like a jackhammer before you even start to get wet?
mircea_popescu: i can't say i've had the experience. but... sounds like they're trying to overperform to impress ? not a bad trait it itself.
shinohai: I shall have to purchase a pin meter and hire the services of 10-20 women to test this hypothesis .....
RagnarDanneskjol: MP - I tried to follow the 'girl worker at a desk in Beijing' conversation, but not quite clear on the requirement there - anything I can do to help? I know lots of ppl in BJ and will be there for work next week.
RagnarDanneskjol: he or she needs to be able to take calls in Chinese , English and be able to do what else approximately?
mircea_popescu: spend the usual 200 hours/week connected to irc and doing whatever clerical tasks provided. must be native chinese speaker with a reasonable command of english, she's not expected to take calls or anything in it.
☟︎ RagnarDanneskjol: ah ok, will send anyone i find that seems competent. Preference is located in BJ or surrounding areas for some reason?
mircea_popescu: not specifically. can reside wherever, but not much interest in country girl chained-to-the-land mentalities.

☟︎ mircea_popescu: "richest guy on planet" could not afford tanks and missile launchers enough to dispose of "new anti-corruption unit" ?

mircea_popescu: shinohai part 2 of the lulz is that the userbase is now revolting. "Well screw that then. This website is a big hoax."
mircea_popescu: turns out it's not the brightest idea to deny people access to the body of a message if you're gonna send that subject line via email.
shinohai rushes to set up "betterbeastforum.com" and offer unlimited messaging and access for 5 bux a month .....

diana_coman: hmm, I suppose I could run a trial test on a batch of generated public exponents with co-prime rather than strict prime requirements, to see what small factors are there but not sure if this will say a lot really in itself; fwiw I don't feel particularly comfortable with the idea of a non-prime public exponent but I don't have mathematical proof for weakness introduced, hence my question
